Yuni's POV

While resting on the bed, Akane who was sitting on a chair beside me asked.

"Could you tell me more about yourself?"

I turned to her direction, seeing her eyes brimming with curiosity. A light chuckle escapes my mouth as I replied.

"Sure."

Akane helped me get up from the bed, she handed me a spoon, and a bowl of chicken soup. With a smile on her face she told me.

"Before that you should have something to eat."

Itook a sip of the soup, it's delicious. My mouth formed a smile as I took another sip, Akane simply stared as I ate my soup. After finishing the soup she asked me.

"Did you like it?" I nodded, seeing my reply made her really happy. She refilled my bowl and told me.

"There's more, so eat as much as you want."

After finishing the meal I handed the bowl to Akane and asked.

"Did your mother make it?" She shook her head and replied with a smile.

"No I made it myself, I'm the one who found you. That's why I should be the one who nurses back to health."

She is a kind hearted girl, which is why I must protect her. If I don't leave soon those pursuing me might come here and harm Akane and her family.

We chatted for a while and Akane left the room.

Everyday Akane visited my room and asked various things about my town, reluctant at first, but I spilled everything after being persuaded by her.

She asked me things about my life in Laiden Hall, my friends, Family and hobbies. I had a lot of fun chatting with Akane, I'm sure she did too.

As we were chatting like usual I asked Akane something that's been on my mind for a while now.

"What do you do on your spare time Akane?"

A wry smile could be seen on Akane's face as she replied.

"Can you walk, if not use this."

Akane handed me a walking stick, I got up from bed and left the room with her.

She lead me to the second floor of the house, unlocking the room located in the far end of the second floor.

It was a room filled with multiple shelves of books.

Akane turned to me and she said.

"Aside from playing outside, I spend all my time reading books. Would you like to read some with me?"

Unable to come up with a respond I simply nodded.

As we were reading books Akane looks at me with a beet red face and asked.

"Wi-Will you be my friend?" I lightly grind and replied.

"Aren't we already friends?"

Akane light caressed my hair, with a smile on her face she told me.

"Thank you for spending time with me."

I walked up to Akane, but lost balance and fell, however before I fell Akane grabbed my hand and told me.
