TL Note: Hi guys, it’s ular update Stuffs happened here and I got ood news I have a long holiday for a month so I can pump up more chapters from now on Bad news, Kevin is stuck with his su away
While Tsubaki was taking a stroll around the house on a certain day, she just happened to pass by the garden and found a place where white clovers were bloo it was rare about what she found, she unintentionally got closer to the garden and started to crouch down in search for a four-leaf clover
On the other hand on the other side of the garden, the young Kyousuke just happened to find Tsubaki crouching down as if she was searching for so to find, and curiosity got the better of hih Tsubaki should have heard Kyousuke co over, she pretended to not take notice of it and just kept on probing around the flower beds When Tsubaki was right in front of him, Kyousuke started to speak with her
“What are you doing?”
“Tsubaki is looking for a four-leaf clover”
“Four-leaf clover?”
“You don’t know, Kyou-chan? People say that whoever finds a four-leaf clover will have a good fortune”
“So it's just a superstition, huh”
Tsubaki felt a bit irritated with Kyousuke’s attitude who didn't believe what she said and was even straightforith it She had a plan inwas part of it Now, she just has to think of a way to h that if Kyou-chan gave this as a present for uncle, he will be very happy though~”
“No way, Father would never believe in such superstitions”
“Well, ive this as a present for uncle~”
“Wha–!?”
Although Kyousuke thought that his father would never believe in so superstitious But for his cousin Tsubaki, as also a niece of his father, to receive a present froine it very clearly how his father would react
Unlike Kyousuke who only had an exchange with his father through letter, Tsubaki and his father would soether with only the two and Kyousuke already knew about this
As if I would let you take another score with this!
With that in ive a four-leaf clover as a present to his father and began to looking for it in desperation
Looking at Kyousuke as full with enthusiasuy is too simple
Meanwhile on the second floor of the mansion, by theof her roo around the corner of the garden with a smile
In there was also Asahina Kaoru in the sa at her daughter and her nephew
“She surprisingly gets along with Kyousuke-kun really well”
“The first tiht that he was veryaround with Tsubaki, I always get a glimpse of his childish behavior As his aunt, it is really relieving you know”
“Well, it’s because he always got lead around by Tsubaki though In a good ”
“Tsubaki is a bit tomboyish, while at the outside of the home she is very obedient As herhow rarely she acts spoiled like a child is h”
Indeed, Tsubaki would so absurd, but fundaoodpeople's atmosphere around her
But that, at the same time, was also the source of Yuriko’s anxiety
Was it because her upbringing environment that surrounded her for four years that made her lose her childishness? Then… isn’t it rowth?
She can’t help but worry about this
“Isn’t it because there are only adults around her? If a child coe, surely their childishness will coet a glimpse of Kyousuke-kun’s childish behavior? It is exactly like that And about Tsubaki-chan being a tomboy, Yuriko-san, did you personally see it?”
“H back at the Kurahashi+ residence, she was an obedient girl She always spent her days at the garden while watching the pond, also doing so her mother, this is very shameful of ether after all so that is all I know about her”
Although Yuriko had tried getting closer with Tsubaki as much as she can, their relationshi+p as parent and child were not so deep like a parent and children would from a common family
Yuriko can’t throw her chest up and proudly say ‘Tsubaki is a child like this’ because from deep down at the botto about Tsubaki
“It’s okay Yuriko-san You only need to know more about Tsubaki-chan from now on Your experience as a mother is not more than 4 years after all, there is no one who can become a 'perfect' mother from the start Anybody could row together with their children”
“That is… right But–“
Yuriko hang her head dohile sheat Yuriko as hesitating on speaking,Asahina seean to ask her
“Is there anything else that's bothering you?”
“No, it is nothing big Also it is not related to Tsubaki after all”
“If you have so you, it would make you feel more at ease if you talk about it with so by it’s own you know Don't worry I can be tight-lipped and won't say a thing To prove that, I didn’t even tell anyone about; long tio Haruki’s front tooth was chipped when he ate Risa’s handmade chocolate that was too hard”
A chuckle couldn't help but escape fro that to me”
“Ah, keep this a secret from Haruki okay? If he knows that Yuriko-san knew about this, I will have a hard time later”
“Okay, I will keep this a secret”
To Asahina who has lightly exposed her brother’s secret, Yuriko raised a laugh instinctively
Yuriko then decided that if it was Asahina, as a friend of his brother for a good long 20 years, it would be okay to tell hian to speak honestly about the ht be too sudden but, do you have someone you yearn for, Asahina-sa such a direct question, Asahina raised a hysteric-like scream to Yuriko’s question
Surprised by Asahina’s scream, Yuriko unintentionally stared at him
“Ah, sorry It was too sudden that I was surprised… Someone I love, someone I love Erm, yes I have so face, Asahina talked in rather quick e that Asahina’s expressions to take a sudden turn, but thinking that it would be rude to dig in too deeply, she just let it off
“If that's so, do you ever think that there is a possibility for that feeling to suddenly disappear?”
“Hmm, let’s see I think not I have fallen in love for her for around 15 years after all, I think I will keep loving her until I die”
“That… is right, isn’t it? That is how it suppose to be, right?”
“Meaning?”
Proan to wonder if she should tell him or not But, because she already arrived until this point, she let go of the chain that held her back and began to speak honestly
“About Kurahashi+, I really loved hi I always thought to became useful for him Even after he betrayed me, I still loved him—- However, after I was rebuked by Fuan to think how foolish I was to fall for a s I had for Kurahashi+ suddenly disappeared without a trace Even though I loved hirets in me at all This heart, the love that I had for hione like that,that deep inside me is different than any other people”
“Is that what have been bothering you?”
“Yes I am sure I would be despised as a heartless woentle Asahina will look at her with a despiteful gaze, Yuriko averted her gaze away from Asahina and spoke in self-deprecation
“I don't think you are a heartless wo these unexpected words from Asahina, Yuriko raised her face and stared at Asahina’s eyes
