Glancing at the closed door, Fuyumi Sasaki leaned against the bedside, looking at the dazzling sunlight streaming through the clear glass, leaping over drifting specks of dust, and casting a pattern on the smooth floor.
He was thinking about the family Sawamura just mentioned.
After the parents of the predecessor passed away, the custody of this person seemed to be handed over to a distant cousin who was beyond reach.
Although they were nominally related, based on the memories, the previous body had no impression of this uncle, and naturally, there was no sense of closeness.
The only one who seemed to show special care for this predecessor was his wife.
However, the place where their family lived was a bit far away from the house where Sasaki's parents stayed, and his predecessor didn't want to live in their house at all, so there was little contact between the two parties.
But there seems to be more than one person who had been in phone contact with his predecessor for a long time...
As Sasaki Fuyumi, who had not remembered anything, was still flipping through memories like reading books, a somewhat rough door opened.
Before he could raise his head to look, a tall figure pounced on him.
Immediately after, he seemed to have plunged into a cloud with a pleasant fragrance.
Slightly moving his neck, feeling a bit uncomfortable being hugged tightly, Sasaki Fuyumi looked at the familiar light orange shoulder-length hair beside his face, and the page of memories belonging to her slowly emerged in her mind.
Her name is Tachibana Kyouka, the best friend of her deceased mother, and she is a spokesperson for a company in Tokyo.
Although he had never heard about her having any partner or lover, she has been living in Tokyo with two girls three years younger than her since the time of Sasaki's memory
The original slight struggle gradually disappeared, and Sasaki Fuyumi raised his hand to gently stroke the delicate and soft back, comforting her in a gentle voice.
"Aunt Kyouka, why are you here?"
"What? Did Aunt Kyouka disturb you?"
After gradually recovering from the joy of his recovery, Tachibana Kyouka adjusted her mood and let go of Sasaki, who was about to be embedded in her body.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in front of him, Sasaki Fuyumi shook his head, gently pulled back her messy hair, and then reached out to stroke the red and swollen bags under her eyes.
"I'm sorry...for making Aunt Kyouka worry."
Hearing this, Kyouka Tachibana, who could barely control her emotions, teared up, turned her head suddenly, then bent her fingers and lightly wiped the corner of her eye.
Afterward, she knocked on the troublesome boy in front of her.
"It's good that you know. Don't do such dangerous things next time. If something happens to you, how will I explain to your mother in the future?"
'This...I feel like he may have gone to find his mother...'
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, Sasaki Fuyumi coughed dryly, raised a smiling face, and handed a bottle of water to her:
"I won't do this next time, Aunt Kyouka, don't worry."
Taking the water bottle, Tachibana Kyouka looked at the handsome and slightly immature, but too pale face in front of her, and still felt a bit relieve and a little scared in her heart.
"It's my fault. If I had known this would happen, I should have taken you home and let Yuuka and Koharu keep an eye on you. Otherwise..."
"Oh~ Aunt Kyouka, don't think too much. I'm fine now, let's not talk about these things."
Reaching out to pinch her elastic and smooth face, not losing to a young girl's tender cheek, the boy laughed and patted his chest to prove that he was fine..
Only then did Kyouka, who had her cheek pinched by him, notice his changes.
Although Fuyumi was not introverted when her best friend was alive, he was far from being cheerful, and could be considered someone who wouldn't show her emotions.
Even to relatives and friends, he would not make any intimate gestures.
But when he woke up now...
Tachibana Kyouka, who was confused but didn't think this change was a bad thing, quickly threw this thought away.
Before she could speak, there was another knock on the door.
Dong Dong——
"Come in."
The slender, plump and elastic thighs were tightly pressed together, and the elegantly sitting Kyoka tilted her flexible spine slightly backward, calling out to the door.
Sasaki Fuyumi, who was also curious about who was coming, also looked over.
Entering were a young man and woman.
The man in a suit was of medium build, with an ordinary face, the type that would be hard to find in a crowd, a typical passerby without any special features.
Following behind him was a delicate woman with brown long hair tied up, light makeup, wearing a red knitted sweater, and dark jeans.
Her face couldn't be described as stunning at first glance, and there was nothing particularly surprising about it, but if one takes a closer look, they would find that she is very charming; the type that looks better the more one looks at her..
However, although her face was beautiful, the most eye-catching thing about her was her figure.
Unlike Aunt Kyouka who was tall and well-proportioned, the woman who entered the ward was not tall, only around 163 - 164 cm tall by visual inspection.
But although she was not tall, her figure was excessively full.
But because this plumpness was gathered where it should be, under her exaggerated body curves, her fullness didn't give a bloated and disgusting feeling, but instead made her look extremely sexy..
Coupled with the fact that she was wearing a thin sweater, the sound of 'Boingboing' sounded in Sasaki Fuyumi's ears every time she took a step.
It's quite rude to throw your eyes at others and not take them back.
After seeing clearly who was coming, he sat up straight and showed a smile to the two of them:
"Norihito Ojisan, Hisato Ob...Onee san."
Just as the word 'Aunt' was about to be uttered by Sasaki, his sharp eyes caught the subtle movement of the eyebrows beneath Azuma Hisato's bangs.
And before he could even think about what was going on, his mouth muscles helped him fill in the correct answer.
Just after he said the perfect answer, the woman's charming eyes that she wanted to glare at him suddenly narrowed, and the light red lips lifted into a warm and radiant smile.
On the other hand, Azuma Norihito, who was dressed in a suit as if he had just come from the company, showed no particular expression, and just nodded coldly.
Seeing her husband's appearance, Hisato, who was smiling brightly, frowned secretly, and in a place where Sasaki and Kyouka couldn't see, she lightly pinched his arm to express her dissatisfaction.
At the same time, after nodding to Tachibana Kyouka who was sitting on the edge of the bed, she asked about Sasaki's situation.
"Fuyumi, when did you wake up? Why did the doctor call to say that you can be discharged? Shouldn't you be under observation for a while? How do you feel now?"
"There is nothing uncomfortable. When I woke up, the doctor examined me and said that I was fine and could be discharged right away."
"That's good. We've already processed the discharge procedures on the first floor, it seems the doctor had already informed them, and it was done quickly."
She took out a few certificates from behind her back, looked through them and put them away before chatting with Tachibana Kyouka, who was unfamiliar with her.
They had met once when Fuyumi was unconscious, so she knew that Kyouka and Fuyumi's mother were good friends.
