Tagore's "The Crescent Moon"?

"...Let's just say this."

……

To this day, Seven Sins still clearly remembers that day when she first came into this world and into an unfamiliar environment. Amidst the disgust, suspicion, and indifference of everyone around her, someone reached out to her, praised her for being cute, and offered to take her home, giving her a place to stay and a new home.

Her heart, on the verge of collapse, was redeemed in that moment. The boy's warm and healing smile, along with his image, was deeply imprinted on the girl's heart.

Even the ugly duckling longs to be liked, cared for, and needed!

................................................................................................................................................................................................................ ………………

Nanami remained silent, while the rogue rabbit, seeing that she didn't speak, turned its attention back to Yoshino.

Just as it was lecturing the girl incessantly, a lazy and alluring voice suddenly rang out from above.

"Since we can't make a choice, why not live together with everyone? What do you think of that idea?"

Yoshina retorted without hesitation, "Kurumi-san and Nanami-san definitely..."

Before it could speak, the rabbit suddenly realized that the voice it had just heard was not Yoshino's.

Suddenly looking up, I realized that Kurumi Tokisaki had woken up at some point and was lying on the sofa, resting her chin on her hand and smiling at me.

Upon seeing this, Yoshino immediately evolved into Steam Girl, her spirit dress suddenly appearing. Then, the girl lowered the brim of her hat, covering her entire face.

Yoshina: "..."

Life is tough, Rabbit sighs.

The owner is too soft-hearted; without external stimulation, they can't be moved!

Just as Kurumi Tokisaki was about to tease Yoshino, Mirai Kasugano, who had already finished cleaning, walked over.

Seeing Kurumi Tokisaki slumped on the sofa, he asked in surprise, "Kurumi, when did you wake up? Are you alright?"

The girl smiled, a gentle tenderness in her eyes: "Thank you for your concern, Mirai-san. I'm fine now."

After a brief pause, she said with a mischievous smile, "I originally thought that Future-san would run away when he saw Queen, but I didn't expect him to choose to stay."

Kasugano Mirai rolled her eyes: "...That's only if I can run away from it!"

"Believe it or not, the Queen could drag me back the moment I step out the door?"

"How could I not have any dignity if a girl treated me like a pet?"

Tokisaki Kurumi feigned curiosity and said, "Oh my gosh~ Mirai-san actually knows about this thing called face?!"

Kasugano Mirai's eyes were practically rolling back; she didn't want to talk to this fairy anymore, lest she continue to tease and joke with her.

Turning his gaze to the quail-like Yoshino, he asked curiously, "What just happened? Why did Yoshino suddenly summon her spirit dress?"

Yoshino: "..."

Upon hearing his question, the girl's face, hidden behind the rabbit mascot costume, grew even hotter, radiating an astonishing heat from her entire body.

"That...that..."

The girl, who was bad at lying and too embarrassed to tell the truth, was so anxious that tears were about to fall.

As for the culprit Yoshina... for some unknown reason, this rogue rabbit chose to play dead in the current situation!

Just as Yoshino was pacing anxiously, Kurumi Tokisaki, who was observing from the sidelines, suddenly said, "Mirai-san, you can't pry into a girl's secrets, you know~"

Kasugano Mirai: "..."

Looking at Tokisaki Kurumi with her enigmatic smile, and then at Yoshino, who looked embarrassed and hesitant to speak, Kasugano Mirai decisively changed the subject: "...Kurumi, have you thought of a name for the cat yet?"

Tokisaki Kurumi chuckled at the sight of the slightly embarrassed look on her face. With her bright eyes and white teeth, she was as pure and beautiful as a lotus emerging from clear water, charming and captivating, yet without any affectation. This caused Kasugano Mirai to be momentarily stunned.

After realizing what he had said, he quickly turned his face away and asked somewhat awkwardly, "...Is this question funny?"

"The question wasn't funny, but Mirai-san's reaction just now was hilarious."

Before he could reply, the girl abruptly changed the subject: "The kitten's name... I have a name here, you can refer to it, Mirai-san."

"What is it?"

"I've observed that the new kitten is a girl. How about we name her Xiaoxue?"

Upon hearing this, Kasugano Mirai retorted, "The kitten is a tabby cat, not a Persian cat. Naming it 'Koyuki' is too incongruous. Change it!"

"If you can't think of one, then let's see if you can come up with one in the future."

"...The original one was called Cat, so let's call the new one Meow Meow, it's simple and easy to understand."

Kurumi Tokisaki fell silent. After a while, she looked up at Mirai Kasugano again, her voice full of amusement: "Mirai-san, tell me honestly, did you choose such a name because you wanted to hear me, Nanami, and Yoshino meow?"

P.S.: The backstory of the elf and the female lead will be explained in the sequels, so don't worry about leaving plot holes unresolved.

By the way, I'd like to recommend a book.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Since ancient times, deep affection has been fleeting.

As the saying goes, when girls get into a hooligan mode, boys have no chance.

Compared to the mischievous rabbit, the impact of these words spoken by a cute and bold girl like Tokisaki Kurumi is undoubtedly much greater.

To avoid hearing any more shocking remarks, Kasugano Mirai hurriedly took her leave.

"Well... it's the start of the semester, and there are a lot of things to take care of, so I won't bother you any longer."

Before anyone could respond, he turned sharply and rushed toward the entrance.

Judging from the back view, it seemed as if they were fleeing in panic.

Kurumi Tokisaki was perfectly capable of stopping him before he left, but the girl remained unmoved and simply watched him walk out of the house.

Then, she looked down at Yoshino, who looked like a frightened little rabbit.

To be precise, it was looking at Yoshina on her left hand.

"Has Yoshina never considered the possibility of everyone living together?"

Her tone was three parts serious, three parts playful, and four parts nonchalant, so much so that Yoshino and Nanami couldn't figure out what she was really thinking.

While the connection between elves can certainly allow them to sense each other's situation and judge whether the other is lying to some extent, it is not absolute.

If the person involved can control their emotions and behave as usual, it will be difficult for others to notice the problem.

Kurumi Tokisaki glanced again at Yoshino, who was bowing her head and acting like a quail, and at Nanami, who was clearly lost in thought. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and her smile was meaningful: "I'll go check on that little cat."

After saying that, she left the two little ones and went straight out of the living room.

Yoshino stared at the tightly closed living room door, her eyes flickering, with a hint of ripples in them.

"...Can we really all live together?"

Chiba Prefecture.

Upscale apartment complex.

Yukino Yukinoshita emerged from the bathroom with a comfortable expression. Her fair and delicate face was slightly flushed, and her hair was still damp with water droplets. She exuded a clean and pure aura, like a peeled egg.

She was draped in a bath towel, which covered most of her body, revealing only a section of her fair and slender legs and a glimpse of her white neck.

I strolled into the living room, took out some tea leaves from the cupboard, and brewed a pot of black tea.

After pouring the black tea, the girl sat on the sofa with the cup in both hands, a mysterious smile on her face.

"High-end apartments have a no-pet rule, but rules are made by people."

"As long as the reason is sufficient and it doesn't affect other residents, the apartment manager isn't an unreasonable person."

"But there's no need for that!"

"It's much better to give the kitten to him than to raise it myself."

……

"Using that kitten as a starting point, aside from the Service Club's daily activities, I also have a reason to contact him after school."

Her thoughts came to an abrupt halt because the girl had discovered a very important problem!

Did I not ask for his contact information or Line number this afternoon?

Some people may wonder, after so many years of marriage, doesn't the wife know how to contact her husband?

The problem is that, based on her previous research and today's meeting with the Service Club, Yukino Yukinoshita realized that the current Kasugano Mirai is different from what she remembers.

In this situation, she wouldn't readily trust the contact information she remembered.

"...Never mind, it's not a big problem."

"He's now joined the Ministry of Service, so we have plenty of time to interact and ask for his contact information."

With the kitten acting as a link, there's no need to worry about arousing suspicion.

Taking a sip of black tea, Yukino Yukinoshita was in a wonderful mood and even began to dream about her future plans.

"Based on today's interaction, it can be easily determined that he has no memory of the future."

"But we can't jump to conclusions so hastily; we need to observe for a longer period."

"If he truly has no memories of the future, then I'll reshape him into my own form!"

The girl frowned slightly, the scene of their meeting today still vivid in her mind.

"It might be a bit difficult, but isn't a little challenge better?"

Kasuganoya.

Kasugano Sora's room.

At Kato Megumi's suggestion, Eriri didn't disturb Kasugano Sora and borrowed a light novel from her friend to start reading.

Time passed slowly, and the three of them only came to their senses when they heard Anna Kasugano's voice from downstairs.

I glanced at the time; it was already past six in the evening.

Kato Megumi observed Kasugano Sora's expression and found that she was in much better condition than in the afternoon before speaking, "After reading the diary, Sora, what are your plans for the future?"
