His eyes were closed, and his body rose and fell slightly while breathing. His short hair covered his ears and half of his face, and his skin was as white and flawless as porcelain.

"Considered as 'lovers'..."

Putting such a "label" on her always made him feel a subtle sense of betrayal, even though they had lived together for so many years, they had long been closer than lovers.

She is different from them, Soya thought.

Even if we don't know that she has actually lived for more than 1,200 years, or her relationship with the Lord of the Underworld, she is still unique.

She is his family.

It's nothing more than that when distinguishing from family relationships such as mothers and sisters, it is necessary to emphasize her difference with the attribution of wife.

"……bell."

When he came back to his senses, Zong Gu realized that she had woken up and was looking at him.

"Good morning."

"Good morning……"

Asagiri Suzu sat up, and the loose bathrobe on her body was unrestrained and slid down from her shoulders.

She got out of her bathrobe, climbed naked in front of him, and raised her hand to smooth his eyebrows.

"what's on your mind."

"I was thinking...Ling is my family."

"Is this an excuse to comfort yourself?"

He was silent for a while, then shook his head.

Moving her knees, she came closer and hugged his neck.

"I am your destination."

Zong Gu pursed his lower lip, raised his hand, stroked her smooth back, and then hugged her tightly.

"Get dressed, let's go downstairs to have breakfast."

She let go of her hands, sat down on the edge of the bed, and opened her arms to him, like a doll waiting to be dressed up.

Taking out her clothes from her travel bag, Zonggu still chose to cover the key parts first.

Lift the thin piece of cloth up from the calf to the knee, then lift it up to the base of the leg, and release it with a snap.

"Will you have desire for my body?" she asked suddenly.

"What are you talking about suddenly?" Zonggu picked up the bra on his upper body again.

"No way?" She stepped on his heart, then subconsciously moved away and stepped on the middle of his chest.

"Okay." He motioned for her to come closer so that he could put on the bra.

"Really."

"Um."

Her feet kept falling against his body, from his chest to his abdomen, and still going down.

Just when he was about to touch the evidence between her legs, he grabbed her ankle.

"You'll really feel it if you go further down..."

"No way."

"Don't do weird things."

She didn't say anything, then sat up straight and let him put on her underwear.

"Do you want to wear this dress today?"

"Um."

His head emerged from the T-shirt, shook his head at Wuling, and then stretched out his arms from the cuffs on both sides.

After putting on her shorts, she got up and got out of bed, lifted the zipper, fastened the buttons, and completed the last steps.

Zonggu moved faster on his own, changed his clothes, washed up and went downstairs together.

Breakfast is provided on the second floor of the hotel, buffet style, and there are not many guests at this time.

Holding the plates, the two of them picked a few dishes each and found a seat by the window to sit down.

"Today is the last day of the festival."

Zonggu looked down while eating. There were few people on the road. He didn't pay attention to when the carnival on the street ended last night. He only knew that the morning was the time for the revelers to rest.

Asagiri Suzu drank the flavored soup, looked at him again, and said, "When we come back, let's go buy a yukata together."

"Should I wear it too?"

"Um."

Zonggu agreed.

After breakfast, the two left the hotel and strolled around the shopping street in front of the station for a while, then got on the train and headed to Aoba District in the north of the city.

The sun is rising gradually, and the scene outside the car window gradually becomes deserted.

Not long after, they arrived at a station near their destination.

After getting off the tram, he walked for more than ten minutes. When he turned the corner, Sogu paused and suddenly hesitated.

"..."

Looking at Asagiri Suzu who was holding his palm, he took a deep breath and said, "Go over."

"Um."

When they walked to the entrance of the institution, a middle-aged man in the guard room stuck his head out and looked at the two of them.

"This is Qingye Children's Welfare Home, who are you looking for?"
