-I didn't get a single minute of sleep last night.I NEED SLEEP!
459Please respect copyright.PENANAah5uEsiwOp
Tadashi's face is covered by Natsuko's foot,he gently pushes it away.On the other hand,Natsuko is peacefully sleeping in the bed.Tadashi looks over to an alarm clock on the table showing 8:12 am.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAOtGMzD5Uaj
-This girl came into my room saying she couldn't sleep alone in the other room.I thought it would be fine to let her sleep with me.(yawns) I couldn't sleep all night because she kept kicking me.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAa4kA3mZkvq
Tadashi gets up and pulls back the curtains and opens the window.
Sunlight pours into the room as and as it hits Natsuko in the face,she rolls to the other side of the bed. She obviously didn't want to be bothered.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAUhH0CA7gYb
"(Yawns)Natsukooo...time to wake up."
459Please respect copyright.PENANARpsLHBmDg8
He says this as he gently shakes her shoulder..
459Please respect copyright.PENANAtvwc84PDuW
"Mmm....Later.~"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAouTjBlOUlp
Saying this sleepily,she pulls the blanket up from her feet and covers her head.

459Please respect copyright.PENANAR0ac5S5cnm
"Mmmmm.~"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAvmJlPoV0nj
She babbles something
459Please respect copyright.PENANAxD7QZxVls9
"Eh,Natsuko,wake up, I'll buy you anything u want if you're obedient."
459Please respect copyright.PENANATeCbMalfcE
"Papa is lying.~"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAw8gqeUDXja
-This brat knows..
459Please respect copyright.PENANAsGOpQ9tzMC
Feeling helpless,he turns to a very common strategy-shouting at them until they wake up.
459Please respect copyright.PENANADjhUBybiHh
"NATSUKO!!!! WAKE UP!!! WAKE UP."
459Please respect copyright.PENANATaFXUyruVq
She is startled and immediately wakes up to look around for signs of trouble.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAzGdI7QKSH5
"Papa! What happened?.~"
459Please respect copyright.PENANA6AQqq6wZn6
"You woke up at last,huh?"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAhrMjgWkzzq

"Hey hey,don't say that.Kids of your age are supposed to be energetic."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAgxPEHX3zGH
"Papa,I'm not a child.~"
459Please respect copyright.PENANA8wraqqckat
"That's no excuse.Come,let's go."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAdDxiiE6JT7
Tadashi could be heard running around and shouting from inside the washroom as Natsuko continues to make a mess everywhere due to her carelessness. As they exit, Tadashi collapses on the floor, a defeated expression on his face.
459Please respect copyright.PENANATBy7CfgJXb
"That is hard,this is harder than anything I've ever done."
459Please respect copyright.PENANA6uT717izw7

459Please respect copyright.PENANAksnPWkDYjl
"Papa,I'm hungry.~"
459Please respect copyright.PENANACBbmP1rgHP

459Please respect copyright.PENANAeqLXYL9dyY

"Nice to hear that,but there's no mama here,so we gotta make it ourselves."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAN6duJreXjK
"Okay papa~"
459Please respect copyright.PENANARuiLlKCpcC
"Um Natsuko,have you brought anything ..from the future that can make food by itself? Like a magic tablecloth."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAoNheX8RUZD
Tadashi points at her little bag saying this which makes her rant saying that she wasn't a blue cat with gadgets to which Tadashi laughs saying that he was just kidding with her.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAAwUsZuM5ev
They head downstairs to prepare breakfast.Natsuko climbs up to the chair and settles down while he inspects what's inside in his fridge.

459Please respect copyright.PENANAu9jag6cr3X
"I thought kids of your age like things that are sweet."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAACSJs9EwCN

They reach school and Yui looks up to see some big school buildings.Tadashi's school was considered one of the best in the state and everything there looked perfectly placed.The school had a big compound with some few big buildings in the center,one which included an old abundant building which was once the main school building.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAJHZZHW8uzM
"Papa,where are we?"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAzSbu5JoneG

459Please respect copyright.PENANABITN7LtpoE
"Why is it empty then?~"
She looks around but sees none around.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAqWTwFnU5Eg
"Well,it's a Saturday....The only students here are the ones who have club activities."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAYb5WvEPnLR
"Okay.~"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAq8pATtbVxs

"Papa always goes to the office.~"
459Please respect copyright.PENANA9pZtnGG7aX
"So I'm just a simple office man then."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9VjTKoEYZ
Natsuko tells him that he would always say that he's busy and never made time to play with her...He is disappointed in himself and apologizes to her and promises her to do better in the future.
459Please respect copyright.PENANA7LLG3HycNi
"Papa,It's okay.~"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAjjE8Nwq0O8
As he considers what he has said,Tadashi turns to face her to make up for the future.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAqzGlnV7g8i
"Natsuko,let's play when we're back home today."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAu9HHUztxg5

Natsuko gives her a head pat.
459Please respect copyright.PENANATrycu6BQbL
"Thank you.~"
She hugs him in delight.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAlGKofnynaB
As they're having a conversation,Tadashi hears someone call out to him.He sees a guy waving at him coming towards them along with a girl.They seem to be his friends.
459Please respect copyright.PENANARvmvFdGfyf
"Papa,who are they?~"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAG66GfcLN9Q
"They're my friends."
459Please respect copyright.PENANA7HfhJOI9pO
He tells Natsuko to remember the rules as his friends approach.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAjQhKMSrkmi
"Akigo,Misaki,good morning."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAIHZjaUl93T
They wish him back.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAx92h3SyOFC
Misaki sees Natsuko and asks Tadashi who the little girl was.
459Please respect copyright.PENANArjg7ObxtSC
"Yes,who's she?."
Akigo points at her.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAQXO8T6DKik
Natsuko walks closer to them and gracefully introduces herself.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAAPqF4MkMCm
"Sooo cutee, she's soo adorable."
Misaki says this as both she and Akigo awws in unison.
459Please respect copyright.PENANA9pnSPBgEDZ
Misaki tries to make Natsuko comfortable with them by lowering down to her and then she introduces herself.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAaS1dDF5naT
"Natsuko, hello there I'm Misaki and he's Akigo, we're very close friends of Tadashi, you can call me elder sister and you can call that guy an idiot."
459Please respect copyright.PENANANRzDsy3xQT
"Hey!! Why am I called an idiot?"
Akigo shouts at Misaki after hearing that.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAUdSZt31RHr
"I wasn't wrong tho."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAG42G3WutAS
"Why you!"
459Please respect copyright.PENANA9UOdInJ7L2
Natsuko sees them shouting a lot and now understands why her father frequently shouts.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAyEXgPRqUoe
"Tadashi, I thought you wouldn't come." Akigo exclaims.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAqKAJgGMGyn
"You sound like you don't want me here,Akigo."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAjtg5tgNN17
Misaki pinches Tadashi on the arm as he says that.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAHl4fh1P40n
"Ouch,Misaki,why?" Tadashi cries in pain.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAGZoA72NL0z
"Hey hey,let's not argue here."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAiLtbshqNu1
"Akigo started it though!"
Tadashi tries to reason with her.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAtpnmahOcOF
--oh.I haven't introduced them to you guys,
Aight,let's start with my childhood friend Gushiken Akigo.
When you see him shouting at anyone,don't worry,he's not angry or anything, it's his natural tone.He's usually a fun person excluding the fact that he asks a lot of useless questions.Physically,he's very handsome and matured looking and is very talked about from the girls who like him.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAL3u1amiogB
"Tadashi, why didn't you tell us you had relatives coming over?"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAEXPBoD7atX
"It was a surprise visit, she just came alone last night."
459Please respect copyright.PENANARfcg1Cnf0r
"Alone?!"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAqJMlK7tyHg
The idea of a young girl being sent off by herself appears to have annoyed Misaki.He makes up something to calm her down.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAqvBfwxv8LB
-This girl here is Minamoto Misaki.
459Please respect copyright.PENANA2N4bYw0a63
She's also a childhood friend of mine and Akigo.She's quite the hothead and is considered a beauty,she would have been the perfect girl if not for the fact that I feel like she literally loves hitting me and Akigo.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAgTUikPeTv5
"Tadashi,you know how happy I am to see you."
459Please respect copyright.PENANA08flGRwFUV
"You're acting like it's been years,we saw each other yesterday."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAYt0kxahDtP
"Don't say that,a true friendship contains missing each other."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAlosQQa3iq8
Akigo taps Tadashi's shoulder and winks while saying that.Tadashi shivers at the sight.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAjflO7q1z7S
"Akigo,you sure you're not into that?"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAtXW7xriI1J
"Noo,noo I didn't mean that!"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAKHRTNKLQTn
Akigo sees Tadashi has a grin on his face after saying that.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAYxL5xzUlBr
"I'm speaking the truth!Misaki,say something!"
Akigo tries to get Misaki to help him.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAJmhOhOLxBw
"What am I even suppose to say here? Aren't you into that?"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAM1xH3rK8Sb
They all seem to be against him.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAqs4k90nuJH
"If caring for a friend is considered that,then I shall accept it!"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAfOxiF2sBXg
Akigo tries to sound cool while saying that.
459Please respect copyright.PENANA06Zj5wLVBh
"That's making it worse,please shut up."
Tadashi and Misaki speak in unison while looking creeped out by him.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAG2udHZLAMh
"Papa, I'm bored."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAdMqE41OFl4
Akigo and Misaki both turn their gaze at Tadashi after hearing Natsuko calling him papa.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAqtYyatJUd1
-Oh my!! this girl! Did she forget?!
459Please respect copyright.PENANA0DrvGTePyz
"Oi Tadashi, why is she calling you papa?." Misaki leers at Tadashi.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAO3By99lEQq
"She likes to play around.Hahaha
,right Natsuko?"
Tadashi laughs strangely as he feels the nervousness take over him.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAyg7HvIG8Te
"Yes..Papa's right!"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAkknPZPlSAS
-Oi oi oi,are you doing this on purpose??
459Please respect copyright.PENANA7lKAgLii5m
"She said it again!"
Misaki says it out loud, pointing to Tadashi.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAkbgj8VqUXM
Akigo is perplexed by what is happening (he is lost)
459Please respect copyright.PENANA7My4DXTnOc
"Misaki,you're overreacting."
Tadashi spews anything that comes to his mind at the moment
459Please respect copyright.PENANAAgFvDesYRG
"What do you mean by that?"
Misaki looks at him, unconvinced by what he had said.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAysUZvYB7S0
"Natsuko...she lost her dad soon after she was born,I've been with her a lot of times as I usually go to her place,that's why she calls me that."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAt5dM94VSxX
Misaki seems convinced and then pads Tadashi's shoulder saying she was proud of him while blowing her nose with a tissue, feeling emotional.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAyQT9aLvhvh
-holyyy!! That was close...
459Please respect copyright.PENANAQyc0ZJfGgf
According to Akigo,he had already understood that it wasn't a significant issue. Both Tadashi and Misaki express their surprise that he realized this. He tries to convince them that he is quite smart, but they simply ignore him and carry on with their conversation.
459Please respect copyright.PENANApkAWpEf4VQ
After a while,Misaki looks at them and sighs after realising that they had brought nothing.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAqJloxGAtzW
"Oh,Tadashi,Akigo,did you guys forget to bring your sports kit?"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAmswEDsjbdj
They both 'ooh' and Tadashi turns to Akigo asking him where the sports kit were.Akigo tells him that they're at his place.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAbQQEI19cNH
"Eeh,I entrusted it to you yesterday, you said you'd bring it."
459Please respect copyright.PENANA1h4w09Q4z4
Akigo folds his hands and apologies before running back home to get it.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAsuz4YOZHgx
"Ok ok,I'll wait for you here with Misaki and Natsuko."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAdMYCZES6sB
Misaki then tells him that she was going out shopping.She would visit his place later and asks him if she could take Natsuko with her.Tadashi thinks it's a great idea since she was a responsible girl and Natsuko would enjoy it with her.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAEsY294uccR
"Natsuko,what do you say?"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAvQ2UJ12Zze
Natsuko says that she only wanted to stay with him and so, Misaki tries a different approach.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAZFAYROMNLY
"Natsuko,let's buy lots of clothes for you."
459Please respect copyright.PENANA5FwCYMpUBZ
Natsuko doesn't seem to be interested and so misaki tries different approaches but it results in nothing new.She finally asks what Natsuko wants to get.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAcP5hRSTk5d
"Burger."
Natsuko simply says.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAoQQKvv4djY
"Burger?"
Misaki was quite surprised to hear that and tries to confirm what she has just heard.
459Please respect copyright.PENANA6hIzgmkA0s
"Yes,she seems to love burgers more than anything."
Tadashi clears Misaki's question.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAJehdIZaq7b
"Your elder sister will buy you lots of burgers then."
459Please respect copyright.PENANA4ibjApHozW
Natsuko runs to Misaki's side as she hears that.Tadashi sighs at the thought of how little it takes to make Natsuko happy.As Misaki is about to leave,Natsuko runs to Tadashi and tells him to bend down to hear her,she whispers something and goes back to Misaki and leaves.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAapbQcZb7XQ
As he yawns,he decides to go wash his face to freshen himself.As he dried his face with a towel,he notices the old building and decides to check it since there's none to scold him and Akigo still had time to return.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAIJfKuEChmG
He explores the rooms and the things on the ground floor and decides to check the other floors too.He reaches the top floor but doesn't see or feel anything unusual,he now starts to find it boring.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAOwlSSebTXC
"I expected something unusual to happen like in those movies,reality is quite boring."
459Please respect copyright.PENANATolzDGIOEX
He walks down the steps and feels his phone vibrate.He takes it out to check it but it slips from his grasp and he tries to catch it when he missteps and goes rolling down the stairs and only comes to a halt when he hits a wall.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAzWGovpMxQi
"Arghhh,what the! Arghhhh!"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAufd3S4QyyY
He tries to walk but gives up as he could hardly stand.
459Please respect copyright.PENANA8psGl0IWCj
"Arghhh this is bad! I can't seem to walk!"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAAnanvU93Kl
-So much for practice,huh?... This is bad,I'm bleeding from my arm and hand.I think I hit the edge of some old staircase,the cuts look bad...
459Please respect copyright.PENANAXhoLI3oi6Y
He soon starts to feel dizzy.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAiUG5jIucNY
"I can't fall unconscious here."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAPhwywBpiLs
He tries to walk with the support of the wall but falls unconscious.When he comes back to his senses,he hears a girl's worried voice talking to him,but due to his current state,he has trouble comprehending it.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAcTKiVBSBmK
-what happened? Did I pass out?
459Please respect copyright.PENANAflg86HCb04
"Please don't move a lot,you'll open the wounds.~"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAV2l1kgVpTk
He sees a girl tending to his wounds.She was a young woman with black hair that was around shoulder length and the thing that stood out was a scar that covered part of her face. He looks at the bandages on his arms and hands and figures out that she had helped him from bleeding out when he was unconscious.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAXGcOHfDOJY
"Umm ...Yamada,thank you for doing this."
459Please respect copyright.PENANA5hMTcoENV6
"It's fine,don't worry about it.~"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAfJQpjfHPLw
She ties the last bandage to his arm.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAONo20RBv3U
"This will do it, we only have to wait for your friend now."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAQckaPgjWqm
Saying this,she closes her first aid kit and sits down next to him,feeling exhausted.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAzkTYg2T391
"Thank you a lot."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAxzY6SMqOb2
"Like I said..it's fine.~"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAAJNsDbsMO6
She tells him to stop thanking her since it was nothing special.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAe25TV7e1FZ
As they wait for the Akigo to arrive.They hear Akigo's voice call out his name.They then hear something fall with Akigo screaming and the voice stops.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAUPZpfvNIO4
"What was that?~"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAVJvM16G94h
Natsuko seems concerned and stands up to go check it.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAypTbFtiXP2
-I'm sure he fell down.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAcOQNDA3YDe
"Nothing,it must be your imagination."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAq6wsbT1Fsh
"Ok.~"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAXkvzjBxc9i
She sits down again.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAJIfugjnYN2

"Well..it's not my fault,after all,a cute girl is holding my hand."

459Please respect copyright.PENANAwGYGDncTmz
"I was kidding! Just kidding..ghhh"
Akigo taps on her arm and it starts to look like a scene from a wrestling match.
459Please respect copyright.PENANATtuFkee9wP
To add fuel to the flame,Tadashi tells her about Akigo falling out of a window from the first floor.
459Please respect copyright.PENANA0XZfkP4gNX

After dinner, Misaki and Akigo can be seen building a card castle, which Akigo keeps crashing down by mistake.Tadashi exits the shower and enters his room, where he discovers Natsuko writing something.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAjev6FAwJzi
"Natsuko,what are you writing?"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAWc0LxsB7yx

459Please respect copyright.PENANAqU6Uh675iz
"Hey hey,you can't fool me with that."
He points at the book that she was holding to behind her.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAGAesNHLF0C
"Eeeeh, it's Mama's diary."
459Please respect copyright.PENANA71pUiXv3Wf
As he hears that,he realises that it was the same book she was reading yesterday and then told him about meeting his wife today.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAMIKM4S6nPE
"Wait so this book knows the future?"
459Please respect copyright.PENANACWLQm2GNVE

459Please respect copyright.PENANAXcYnMFh5qi
"No! It will harm papa's future."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAfb7XQQve5K
"But you're here to help me,right?"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAEHP4q4HAM4
Natsuko tells him that she can only help with things that her father will regret in the future, and that he will have to do the rest on his own without knowing what is about to happen.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAsR7MShgxCv
"True but you could have at least warned me about today right?"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAAhDr8UbJZ7
"Natsuko told you to watch out, papa forgets easily."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAVK9UzpczU4
"Oh that's what you meant by that.Now I understand why you weren't worried."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAfN2J8QbI6A
He sighs and says that he only wanted to know who his wife was since he couldn't meet anyone due to his injury but she tells him that he had already met her.
459Please respect copyright.PENANARJDk62Iw54
-did she say 'help'?
459Please respect copyright.PENANAoaWMIp9Whg

"Natsuko,what is mama's name?"
459Please respect copyright.PENANA9wllfoss0E
"Yui Asato."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAZL4fdFnAXe
-it's her!!! It's Yamada !!!
459Please respect copyright.PENANAga4pnm0TFT

459Please respect copyright.PENANA0P9XHGlreu
"Papa,what happened?"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAFE58HvQzV2
He snaps back to reality.
"Nothing,nothing!"
459Please respect copyright.PENANA0iEWpVsanS
"Hehe, Papa is in L-O-V-E."
She grins at him.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAORLkQMLMOy
"Hey hey,you're too young to be saying that."
He tries parenting her but seems to be failing at it.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAHhjY6PMAmb
"Papa L-O-V-E!"
459Please respect copyright.PENANATzJedUKStF
He pursues her playfully while limping a bit while she circles the room yelling that. When Misaki enters, she rubs her knuckles on Tadashi's head and asks him why he's playing rather than relaxing.He apologizes and then,Akigo comes in saying that he couldn't concentrate on his card castle because of their shouting and it fell again.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAqN5tjFh0Fy
"Huh? You couldn't do it even if the cards were glued together."
Misaki taunts Akigo
459Please respect copyright.PENANAte3dxoRRtg
"Damn you! You don't know how much creativity and time it takes to make one! A single castle takes ages!"
Akigo replies to Misaki's remark
459Please respect copyright.PENANAavBy3Fco52
"I could make an entire house of cards by the time you put 2 cards up!"
Misaki taunts Akigo again.
459Please respect copyright.PENANARexQ2FHKNu
They begin to argue, and Tadashi attempts to calm them down. He then laughs thinking about how much they argued unnecessarily,Akigo and Misaki stop and laugh thinking about it too.
459Please respect copyright.PENANAhMMBNrd2fV
As night comes,Natsuko and Misaki are seen sleeping,and in the other room,Akigo and Tadashi can be seen talking while in their bed.

459Please respect copyright.PENANAjMytOoB3Zu
"Akigo,can I ask you something?"
459Please respect copyright.PENANAYo7fdQaOqj

459Please respect copyright.PENANA3RVIe6hY2W
"Noo,I was just asking!"
He waves both his hands while denying it.
459Please respect copyright.PENANATGBZQSJOSE
"Eeh,I thought my friend finally had his eyes set on a nice girl."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAsQKtB0E4yr
"No,you're expecting too much from me."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAaPjEGd8onU
"I do think she's nice,maybe she's someone who likes to keep things in her heart,that's why other students have a hard time talking to her...but whatever the reason,she saved my best friend and I can't thank her enough."
459Please respect copyright.PENANA6YJ63R2l2m
"Here you go with the emotional lines again."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAQ576KFfSk9

"Do you have anyone you like? And don't tell me the names of those girls you hang out with."
459Please respect copyright.PENANA9M0ZOGu28J

459Please respect copyright.PENANAC0Obzxf2Oq
"Who?"

"Well,I'm sleepy,goodnight Tadashi."
459Please respect copyright.PENANAquBxhlX28Z
