day, but why aren’t you?! You’re the one who asked me to come, Mika! How are you, Saki-chan?”

Oh no.
It had already been read.

I didn’t even know what kind of friendship they had, so I didn’t know what to say in response.

From the message, maybe I was Mika, and the girl in the corner of the room was Saki-chan?

After thinking for a while, I replied, “I’m fine,” and she immediately replied, “I see.
I wondered what would happen when Saki’s mother and father passed away and Mika decided to take her in, but I’m glad she’s fine.

I’m glad you’re doing well.
Mika, you were so shocked that you couldn’t even speak.
I mean, listen.
Satoshi’s with another woman! Isn’t that awful?!”

Yeah, there was too much information to keep up with, and who was Satoshi?

What did that mean? Saki’s parents were dead and the woman (now me) had taken her in? What kind of relationship is that?

I mean, in cases like that, don’t you have to be extra nice and careful for them not to find out that you’re not their real parents?

Maybe I didn’t understand it now, but one day I would be confronted with the truth.

If they knew that they had been given a lot of love and affection at such a time, they would not easily turn to delinquency, right?

I sat down and opened my arms to the small body still frozen in the corner of the room.

“Saki-chan, come here.”

In response to my voice, the girl in the corner of the room walked over with small, tottering steps.

(Maybe she thought I’d be mad at her because I didn’t smile when I called her earlier.)

When I gently held the small body that came close to me, Saki-chan started to cry as if the tension that had been holding her back had been broken.

“Mama… Papa… uwaahh!”

(Oh, she knew her parents were gone.)

To reassure Saki, I gently pat her back again and again.

I could feel her body’s warmth radiating from her when I pat her, and I found myself naturally shedding tears with her.
