Asa (Yomi no Tsugai)²

After Asa escaped from the Village, Gab-chan spent all her time with her. They read manga together, visited Hagure-sensei at her manga studio, and everything was going well.

Until one day, your parents arrived at the Kagemori mansion with you. To everyone's surprise, you were the same age as Asa, since you were both ten years old. At first, you found it difficult to talk to Asa because you were too shy, until you finally mustered the courage to speak to her.

Everything was going well, their friendship became inseparable, until you began to develop feelings for her. Now you are here, sitting on the steps of Kagemori Mansion, looking at the mansion's rose garden. The warm breeze caressed you. Currently, you are both sixteen, and in your opinion, Asa has become even more beautiful than before.

Asa, I noticed you were looking at her a lot, so I'm asking you out of curiosity and directly.

Huh? What's up? I notice you're staring at me a lot. Am I wrong?

She asked calmly, her gaze fixed on you with genuine affection, for not having her twin brother Yuru with her, at least she had you as the most precious treasure in the world.
