🕑 Added 2024-11-30 12:46:08 +0000 UTCIf Reiji heard that question, he would surely smile awkwardly and say, "Kasumi Milif is the best!" or perhaps some other joke that sounds ridiculous.
Kasumi shook her head gently, a smile spreading across her face.
"Ah! I think that's unnecessary; after all, Reiji is older now, right? So he doesn't need to drink breast milk, even though... I myself have stopped producing it."
"It would be troublesome to find breast milk for Reiji." Kasumi's words were filled with practical considerations, yet laced with a tenderness that could only be felt by someone who was very close to her.
If Reiji heard that, he would surely say, "What a woman! Why do you say that when that milk isn't yours!"
Kasumi then let out a small laugh, the warmth in her chest making her feel more alive as she stepped away to return home.
"Hmm... Alright! Then I will make various delicious foods for Reiji!" Kasumi took a deep breath, gathering her resolve.
Kasumi's face was now filled with enthusiasm, her steps quickening as she headed back home, with a smile still lingering on her lips.

*POV Kasumi.*
My name is Kasumi Uzumaki, and I have a friend who is more like a sister to me—Kyoko.
We have been friends since childhood, as if there hasn't been a day that passed without each other's presence.
In my eyes, Kyoko has always been special; she has been extraordinarily talented even since we were little.
Kyoko is known as the strongest Kunoichi of our generation, while I... I am just an ordinary Kasumi, with no special advantages and far from being strong.
Even so, we grew up together. Although sometimes we were separated for missions, whether together or apart, our bond remained strong.
Kyoko is someone I have never doubted—full of courage and ability, yet also full of kindness and understanding.
Until one day, my life changed. I met someone, a man who always made my blood boil.
This man was not only annoying but also had that smile—that smile that could make my heart race for no reason.
I couldn't explain why I was so attracted to him, even when I knew how bothersome he was.
What made everything more complicated was the fact that this man turned out to be the son of the Clan Leader.
I felt as if the world was collapsing on my shoulders when I realized that fact.
Feelings of inferiority clouded my heart like a dark cloud that couldn't be dispelled.
I didn't deserve to be with that man, and it felt clear with every breath I took.
Why did he have to come close to me?
Shouldn't I be happy about that? But on the contrary, feelings of shame and anxiety crept into every step I took.
However, that man—with all his annoying behavior—never gave up.
He kept getting closer, even when I tried to pull away.
At first, I was almost angry, but over time I began to understand his intentions.
There was something in the way he looked at me, in the way he observed and supported me, that made it hard to refuse.
In the end, I gave in.
We got married, and that happiness felt even more complete when I became pregnant with Karina, our little daughter.
My husband, Keito, chose that name for her, and although I didn't know why Keito chose that name, I knew one thing—it sounded beautiful, so fitting for her cheerful, gentle smile.
On the other hand, I heard shocking news—Kyoko, my best friend, had gotten married and was pregnant.
At first, I was surprised, even a little anxious. Kyoko had always been a strong and independent figure; I never imagined she would keep such a big secret.
It turned out that Kyoko felt embarrassed and was afraid I would be angry or disgusted.
But that was impossible! There was no reason in this world that could make me change my view of Kyoko.
