... live free!

Next morning.

When I woke up I felt darker around me than usual, but I slowly woke up yesterday to remember I slept early and not wake up Yua. But Yua woke up slowly rubbing her eyes as she wandered over to see if she felt the shake. I woke him up. I thought so, but for now I spoke to Yua who woke up.

"Morning."

"... good morning"

Uh-huh. I just woke up in the morning. Is that why you're reacting a little dull? But after this, Yua's supposed to go to the orphanage, so should we just finish breakfast?

"A little early, but should we go finish breakfast?

"... yeah"

When Youre nodded, he made his way to the dining room for breakfast.

When I finish my breakfast, I go back to my room. And when I walked into the room and sat in bed, Yua seemed a little nervous.

"What's going on?

"... are you sure you want to go today?

"That's what you promised yesterday, right?

"Oh, yeah..."

Yesterday, he said he'd try his best to go see Lumia, but over time, he probably felt more anxious. When I thought of that, I realized there was one thing.

"Could you not have slept much last night?

When I asked Yua, it was slow, but I nodded. I knew it was. I usually sleep for a while even when I wake up, but I woke up today......

"We're still early to get to Lumia's, so sleep a little before we go?

"Fine, 'cause I'm not going to sleep"

Sure, I may be, but I felt like I shouldn't leave Yua like this, but I don't know what to do. I told her to sit down because I thought I'd let Yua stand for now.

"... why don't you just sit down?

Saying so, Youre sits in bed.... What am I supposed to do at a time like this? And I remembered that there was one thing I thought about that.

Sure enough, I went to elementary school in my last life. We still had friends at the time, so we played together, and we did, but one time we had a little fight. Now I wonder why we fought that far, but at the time I was crying pretty dented when I got home. That's when your mother came and told you what happened because she asked you what happened.

He stroked my head as he held me from behind. I didn't know why then, but I remember feeling much easier thanks to your mother. You did that until I stopped crying and settled down. After I settled down, I talked about what I wanted to do in the future and went to apologize the next day to make up for it.

What was it then? Is it warm? I wanted Yua to feel that way too because I calmed down because I got her to hold me tight. I went up to bed and held her from behind.

Then Yua was freaked out and surprised, but I felt the strength gradually take away from Yua.

"I want to ease Yua's anxiety, but I can only do this because I don't know what to do, but I'm sorry?

He said I was stroking Yua's head as I said so.

"Oh, that's not true! (Wow, I'm so happy...)"

And he gave me a denial. And Yua came to me with her weight in her little voice but when she whined gladly. For once, are you forgiving me? I was stroking Yua's head with that in mind.
