Chapter 90: The World Where Aragaki Moeha Lives [Extra]
In the early morning, the Bedroom was still shrouded in darkness due to the curtains, but movement could already be heard from the large bed.
"Mmm~"
A soft murmur sounded, and then a cute little figure sat up from the bed.
The Little one opened her eyes, and after seeing the darkness of the room, she couldn't help but feel a wave of dejection again.
Today seemed to be just like any other day.
Thinking this, Aragaki Moeha quickly walked to the side of the bed and pulled open the curtains.
There was no sunlight outside, and it was still gloomy... Aragaki Moeha blinked as she looked out, feeling a bit bored, and then walked into the bathroom wearing her slippers.
Before long, she had finished washing up and began walking toward the room in her memories.
"What if Papa and Mama are back?"
Aragaki Moeha had fantasized like this more than once, but unfortunately, she knew in her heart that if they really had returned, she wouldn't be sleeping here.

Accompanied by the sound of the doorknob turning, Aragaki Moeha opened the door to a room, but unfortunately, the large bed inside was empty; no one was there.
Seeing the state of the room, Aragaki Moeha pursed her lips and then carefully closed the door.
"Eh? Is Moeha already up?"
After Aragaki Moeha closed the door and walked down the stairs, Sayuri, hearing the movement, noticed her and led her by her small hand to the dining room.
"Is there anything you want to eat? Grandma can make it for you..."
The person speaking to Aragaki Moeha was indeed Sayuri. Currently, she still had long, beautiful black hair, and time seemed to have left no obvious marks on her, though the dark circles around her eyes indicated that her sleep quality had been poor lately.
Looking at Sayuri, Aragaki Moeha simply shook her head, then turned her gaze toward the front door.
"Does Moeha miss Papa and Mama?"
Sawamura Sayuri looked at Aragaki Moeha's movements and asked, patting her head with a hint of heartache.
Hearing Sayuri's words, Aragaki Moeha's eyes instantly lit up, and she looked at her and nodded.
"I see. Then how about Moeha eats her meal obediently first, and then Grandma will take you to see them?"
Sayuri happily rubbed the Little one's cheeks. She perfectly hid her deep-seated emotions, leaving Aragaki Moeha with only a beautiful smile.
"Mm! Thank you, Grandma."
Having received Sayuri's promise, a smile finally appeared on Aragaki Moeha's face. She almost skipped to the dining table and began eating her breakfast.
"Everything should be fine on Aragaki's end, right..."
Sayuri was somewhat uncertain. She originally wanted to call directly, but after thinking about it, she chose to send a text message instead.
"Takiya, is everything okay on your end? Moeha wants to come and see you."
After composing the text, Sayuri decisively sent it and then waited. A few minutes later, accompanied by the "ding-dong" notification sound of her phone, Sayuri hurriedly looked at the screen.
"It's fine. Bring Moeha over."
Seeing the text from Aragaki Takiya, Sayuri breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes still held uncontrollable worry.
Aragaki Takiya had been hospitalized with that illness for two years now. During this time, Eriri had often stayed there to accompany him, rarely returning home. Sayuri didn't think this behavior was wrong, but... she glanced again at Aragaki Moeha, who was still eating breakfast, and a wave of sadness couldn't help but surge in her heart.
She didn't know if Aragaki Takiya's illness would improve, but she knew very well that Eriri's heart was entirely set on him. If he really... "Grandma, I'm finished. Let's go..."
Aragaki Moeha's voice came from nearby. The little one was very excited to see her Papa and Mama, so she had been full of energy since receiving the promise.
"Ara~ Did Moeha drink all her milk? Grandma is going to check, you know."
Sayuri spoke like this, a beautiful smile on her face. No matter what, at least in front of Aragaki Moeha, she would never show that kind of sad expression.
"It looks like it's raining outside; it's safer to bring an umbrella."
By the time Sayuri and Aragaki Moeha were ready, raindrops were falling from the gloomy sky. Although there was a driver for transportation, Sayuri was still a bit uneasy, so she brought an umbrella... After a while, with the driver's assistance, Sayuri soon arrived at Aragaki Takiya's hospital with Aragaki Moeha. Then, Sayuri took Aragaki Moeha into the elevator and pressed the familiar button.

It was the familiar sound of a door lock turning again, but this time it wasn't Aragaki Moeha opening the door, but Sawamura Sayuri.
"Pardon the intrusion, Takiya~"
After opening the hospital room door, Sayuri tried her best to put on a happy expression. Then she saw Aragaki Takiya sitting halfway up in bed.
Well... besides him, she also saw another familiar golden figure, who was currently sleeping while leaning against the side of the hospital bed.
"Shh~"
Seeing Sayuri arrive with Aragaki Moeha, a handsome smile appeared on Aragaki Takiya's somewhat thin face. However, while smiling, he also made a shushing gesture and pointed to Eriri, who was resting nearby.
"Sorry, because Eriri refused to leave, I only just managed to coax her to sleep..."
Aragaki Takiya spoke softly. His gaze fell on the little one by the bed. He wanted to reach out and pat her, but realized he could no longer see her face clearly. So he first took the specially made glasses from the bedside table, and only then did he happily pat Aragaki Moeha's small head.
"Papa..."
Looking at this somewhat thin man, Aragaki Moeha grabbed the hand resting on her head and placed it against her cheek. Although her Papa had changed a lot compared to when he first entered the hospital, the warmth of his palm remained the same.
"Has Moeha been obedient lately?"
"Mm-mm, Moeha has always been obedient."
"Hehe, that's good. Then, when Papa gets out, I'll take you, Mama, and Grandma and Grandpa on a trip around the world... Huff..."
Aragaki Takiya spoke happily with Aragaki Moeha, but after only a few sentences, his breathing began to grow labored.
"How about putting that on..."
Sayuri couldn't bear it and pointed to the oxygen mask nearby.
"Well, it's fine. I'll be okay after a short break."
As Aragaki Takiya said this, he unexpectedly woke Eriri beside him.
"Hmm? Takiya..."
Eriri looked up, about to say something, when she noticed the two newcomers.
"Eh? Moeha and Mama, when did you get here?"
As Eriri spoke, she noticed Aragaki Takiya nearby, whose breathing was somewhat labored. She was about to reach for the oxygen mask, but was stopped by Aragaki Takiya.
"Look, Moeha has missed you for a long time. You haven't even thought about going home, so now she's come to find you..."
Aragaki Takiya spoke while panting slightly, then placed the little one's hand into Eriri's.
"Mama!"
Looking at the familiar face, Aragaki Moeha could no longer hold back and threw herself into Eriri's arms.
"Ah, sorry, Moeha. I originally wanted to go back and see you."
Feeling the little one's body trembling in her arms, Eriri realized she hadn't been back for a long time. It wasn't that she hadn't thought about going back, it was just... Thinking this, Eriri gripped Aragaki Takiya's hand again.
"Alright, I'm fine. In a while, Eriri, you accompany Moeha and Mama and go out to relax for a bit."
Aragaki Takiya said, turning his head to look out the window. The rain had stopped, and the sun seemed about to come out.
"But Takiya, you..."
Eriri was about to say something, but saw Aragaki Takiya smile and shake his head.
"I'm very strong. If you don't believe me, look... Hiss!"
Aragaki Takiya wanted to strike a strong pose, but unexpectedly tugged at the Indwelling needle on the back of his hand, causing him to hiss in pain.
"You're sick, so don't make those kinds of movements."
Seeing Aragaki Takiya's actions, Eriri spoke crossly and quickly tucked his hand back under the covers.
"Then I'll accompany Mama and Moeha outside to rest for a bit. Takiya, call me if anything happens."
"Don't worry, I will..."
Aragaki Takiya smiled and waved his hand, no longer panting as he spoke... After a while, once Eriri and the others had left, Aragaki Takiya took off his glasses. His vision instantly blurred again. He then picked up the oxygen mask nearby and put it on.
"Huff, I really can't live without this thing anymore..."
