"My heart has now known madness~"

In the dusky, old kitchen filled with wooden equipment, a boy moved around while humming the song playing in the background.

"Is my world now lightened up~"

His eyes, heterochromatic—one blue and the other purple—looked at the ingredients placed on the counter.

"This new, new bride of mine~."

Picking up a bowl, he hummed as he mixed different ingredients with care.

Some ingredients spilled around, but the apron he wore didn't let them stick to his clothes.

"When did she turn my madness—."

His humming abruptly stopped as someone tugged on his pants.

He turned around, his gaze moving down as he looked at the little girl.

She looked only three years old, not even reaching his knees, her long straight black hair combed properly while her crimson eyes stared at him.
