Chapitre 145: Until Then (END)

Sniffles could be heard from the background as the touching reunion was displayed right before their eyes. Everyone in the room, including Kirisu, who had been right there from the start, couldn't help but get overly emotional over the scene.

The scene lasted for a good minute before Hajime inadvertently let go of the hug. While he wanted to hug his sister for a few more minutes, he knew that that would just exhaust her, and he didn't want that to happen, considering that she just woke up from a coma that lasted almost a year and a half.

"Mou~ big brother, what happened to you? Why are you so thin? Are you eating properly? You were already thin before... but not this thin." Akiko pouted as she patted her brother on the side of his stomach. Faintly, she felt his abs through his shirt, and she almost gasped in shock— not because of the abs, but because of the realization that her brother was thinner than she had initially expected.
