Hitomi snuggled close to An Yi’s chest while the camera flashes burst around them. She’s very happy, but mildly dazed from hypoxia.

‘I want to live like this all the time, but it’s only for this one show’ (Hitomi)

Her mind gradually cleared and cheeks flushed bright red. She panicked trying to find a place to ‘hide’.

Hitomi is, in fact, a very timid person. Extremely shy, quick to cry, and very easy to satisfy. In the past, when she was a boy, he could only grit his teeth and bare it.  Desperate for support, he could only pretend nothing was wrong. Tortured by so many things in her past, she was even more vulnerable than she thought.

Hitomi, who was in a panic, was pulled into An Yi’s chest with her cheek gently being patted, to allow her to slowly calm down.

"Let's go. I'll go with you to eat. Don’t worry about these guys." (An Yi)

An Yi moved his hands and lifted her into a princess carry. With that. her hands wrapped tightly around his neck.

 “Come on, make sure you smile this time.” (An Yi)

The young man holds the cute girl close to his chest and leaves the main exhibition hall. Seeing this, the audience whistles, cheers and applauds the couple.

System… Master, the task has been completed.

"Uh, everyone be quiet, our program is beginning. First up, the Black Magician is going to perform a wonderful trick!!" (Announcer)

“Oh…” (Audience)

== (Flash Bombs continue) ==  (TN: Whether camera flashes or the magician is not clear)

“Hitomi, we’re out, you can open your eyes now.” (An Yi)

The man whispered in her ear as he held her and softly kissed her cheek.

She opens an eye and quietly looks around. Her actions and cute expression immediately killed everyone within 300 meters.

Perhaps, it was the personality of ‘Sora Kasugano’ or perhaps her own ‘Aura’ was the cause.

"Well, it's safe here. Come on, get down and let’s take a look at the exhibition!” (An Yi)

“Don’t!” (Hitomi)

Hitomi closed her eyes and pressed her head to his chest.

"I don't want to get down. I want to stay right here!" (Hitomi)

She said willfully and huddled closely into the man’s chest, her arms wrapped tightly around his neck.

An Yi didn’t say anything, just smiled and walked with her in his arms.

Doing so, the cosplay sibling pair received a lot of attention. They passed by a lot of stalls, finding everything you would expect. When An Yi would ask Hitomi if she wanted something, she always shook her head and cuddled close. Perhaps Hitomi was saying it was enough for her as long as she was together with him.

The more popular of the two is Hitomi. He’s no match for the cute girl, although An Yi is handsome and his sweet character is really seductive.

Hitomi would occasionally take her head off of his chest and look around. Her red face and shy look captured countless hearts. After looking around Hitomi would again withdraw into his arms. Many who didn’t understand her addiction choose to not bother her and simply followed them; waiting for the next time she looked around. There were 180 people following them by the end of the day.

“Hitomi, do you want a crepe?” (An Yi)

He asked quietly in her ear.

“No, I’m not hungry.” (Hitomi)

He smiled and carried her over to the stall.

“Strawberry and whipped cream, please.” (An Yi)

Why does An Yi want to buy a crepe? She tightened her grip on his clothes a little as she questioned him.

If I really wanted it, why did I say no? Maybe it's a matter of two things that you want, but why do I have to give up one?

The son of a rich family couldn’t understand. Maybe, he will never understand.

"Try it, I bought it just for you. It’s still hot.” (An Yi)

Before he could finish speaking, he felt the girl in his arms start trembling and something warm dripped onto his clothes.

He could feel the strength of her grip, but he doesn't know what she wants to say. He only knew that he should comfort her.

Maybe it's just his own way of thinking.

Hitomi could no longer think, but cried softly. How long had it been since she felt sincere concern and kindness?

An Yi helps her to wipe away the tears, still falling like pearls, from her eyes.

"Come on, eat quickly. You don't want it to cool off, right? ” (An Yi)

As he spoke, he handed Hitomi the cream-filled, strawberry crepe.

Suddenly, she took the crepe from him. After two or three large bites, she rushed back into his arms, whining and crying, but neither they nor the onlookers understood what she was shouting.

"Thank you for being concerned about me!" Thank you! Thank you so much!” (Hitomi)

For the remainder of the exhibition, I glued myself to An Yi and never let him put me down. That is the way we took in the exhibition, carried in his arms and surrounded by the people following us. I will never forget it.

We remained this way for a long time and then the announcer started counting down to the end of the exhibition.

I should wake up from my dream.

'…' 

System… Personality released.
