-I didn't get a single minute of sleep last night.I NEED SLEEP!
447Please respect copyright.PENANAjdp0puPWDK
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAPH5k4N3HDZ
-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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA3zu80psc1C
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAzzRBgEWJdq
"(Yawns)Natsukooo...time to wake up."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAacpk3U1KNi
He says this as he gently shakes her shoulder..
447Please respect copyright.PENANAmMNkiSPvW6
"Mmm....Later.~"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAeK1fBFWxbv
Saying this sleepily,she pulls the blanket up from her feet and covers her head.

She babbles something
447Please respect copyright.PENANATVPqV4wZeV
"Eh,Natsuko,wake up, I'll buy you anything u want if you're obedient."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAzyD8pAdoFF
"Papa is lying.~"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAbJQ5cOQWfN
-This brat knows..
447Please respect copyright.PENANAHYj4l6A4b0
Feeling helpless,he turns to a very common strategy-shouting at them until they wake up.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAtmH624SjB6
"NATSUKO!!!! WAKE UP!!! WAKE UP."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAgVY9IeKRtR
She is startled and immediately wakes up to look around for signs of trouble.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAvRyOQhRehz
"Papa! What happened?.~"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAXsLRBmEA2Z
"You woke up at last,huh?"

447Please respect copyright.PENANAKAm6MsEPYu
"That's no excuse.Come,let's go."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAZmzn2joUk8
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAHfVVyYUDmO
"That is hard,this is harder than anything I've ever done."
447Please respect copyright.PENANA3ysvB3bzHS

447Please respect copyright.PENANAjVToNBjv0M

447Please respect copyright.PENANALhjyBL5miL
"Okay papa~"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAdkF4OYGNvh
"Um Natsuko,have you brought anything ..from the future that can make food by itself? Like a magic tablecloth."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAAUPymT3Ep6
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAWZv6OPSIEn
They head downstairs to prepare breakfast.Natsuko climbs up to the chair and settles down while he inspects what's inside in his fridge.

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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANALpD8bm3eoX
"Papa,where are we?"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAnkoI87cV0c

Tadashi was enthusiastic about it and Natsuko could hear it in his tone.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAYSEjs40ZpP
"Why is it empty then?~"
She looks around but sees none around.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAg3FMOSda1Y
"Well,it's a Saturday....The only students here are the ones who have club activities."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAl3x04sTEIe
"Okay.~"

"Papa always goes to the office.~"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAJxbdd3ErdM
"So I'm just a simple office man then."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAOM2HCKBnDR
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAdyDfKwCTTT
"Papa,It's okay.~"
447Please respect copyright.PENANABVzrGms2ef
As he considers what he has said,Tadashi turns to face her to make up for the future.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAybZC0yQc2L
"Natsuko,let's play when we're back home today."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAf9i9evj7Zz

447Please respect copyright.PENANAXoTuhcdQyW
"Thank you.~"
She hugs him in delight.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAR8qCIsRMnd
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAaAcMRg6RP0
"Papa,who are they?~"
447Please respect copyright.PENANARnxPog3cWD
"They're my friends."
447Please respect copyright.PENANASbjeucHRSX

447Please respect copyright.PENANAv5NOWPlNuw
"Akigo,Misaki,good morning."
447Please respect copyright.PENANA80SXmU3jJi
They wish him back.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA92cI4p1nB6
Misaki sees Natsuko and asks Tadashi who the little girl was.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA22jz3Vt40z
"Yes,who's she?."
Akigo points at her.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAzSEDifCTVQ
Natsuko walks closer to them and gracefully introduces herself.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAT948CTddYU
"Sooo cutee, she's soo adorable."
Misaki says this as both she and Akigo awws in unison.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAcefmP6hJB1
Misaki tries to make Natsuko comfortable with them by lowering down to her and then she introduces herself.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAybvLCGD2yu
"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."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAjABm8dsEVH
"Hey!! Why am I called an idiot?"
Akigo shouts at Misaki after hearing that.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAfd1l7ZYjPh
"I wasn't wrong tho."
447Please respect copyright.PENANA7oe3q8qRWY
"Why you!"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAA18F16SGKu
Natsuko sees them shouting a lot and now understands why her father frequently shouts.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAD4g8c67HHj
"Tadashi, I thought you wouldn't come." Akigo exclaims.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAu1XSItXrYR
"You sound like you don't want me here,Akigo."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAo9votcIa4q
Misaki pinches Tadashi on the arm as he says that.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAVQgcV5M6gm
"Ouch,Misaki,why?" Tadashi cries in pain.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAFnAdo2eR9E
"Hey hey,let's not argue here."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAwqHcI0pjEO
"Akigo started it though!"
Tadashi tries to reason with her.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA6YKwYJbell
--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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAGdBzEpjdUJ
"Tadashi, why didn't you tell us you had relatives coming over?"
447Please respect copyright.PENANARMjhXIctWy
"It was a surprise visit, she just came alone last night."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAH6icU7zb2Y
"Alone?!"
447Please respect copyright.PENANADawq8d2KhS
The idea of a young girl being sent off by herself appears to have annoyed Misaki.He makes up something to calm her down.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAYutWFVnJQp
-This girl here is Minamoto Misaki.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAcPJocjJJ3U
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA3uJRaKs7ud
"Tadashi,you know how happy I am to see you."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAeSCxvhXMXb
"You're acting like it's been years,we saw each other yesterday."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAmHemV2RSgt
"Don't say that,a true friendship contains missing each other."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAa5cmvXzxiD
Akigo taps Tadashi's shoulder and winks while saying that.Tadashi shivers at the sight.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAvLxKUy8bLh
"Akigo,you sure you're not into that?"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAP2LXDU3Jfw
"Noo,noo I didn't mean that!"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAES1gnCGSIN
Akigo sees Tadashi has a grin on his face after saying that.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAjzh7SeKBb2
"I'm speaking the truth!Misaki,say something!"
Akigo tries to get Misaki to help him.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAye6fVLsjhk
"What am I even suppose to say here? Aren't you into that?"
447Please respect copyright.PENANANPbU5oxgPL
They all seem to be against him.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAQQpttIvgq8
"If caring for a friend is considered that,then I shall accept it!"
447Please respect copyright.PENANA8Bv7moiCdk
Akigo tries to sound cool while saying that.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAJzyZlAxPnB
"That's making it worse,please shut up."
Tadashi and Misaki speak in unison while looking creeped out by him.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAimrvoQafFr
"Papa, I'm bored."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAgNuvlalPJu
Akigo and Misaki both turn their gaze at Tadashi after hearing Natsuko calling him papa.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAERALxIr4UH
-Oh my!! this girl! Did she forget?!
447Please respect copyright.PENANAf84HAWJMXi
"Oi Tadashi, why is she calling you papa?." Misaki leers at Tadashi.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAbh3Z5Zh4tr
"She likes to play around.Hahaha
,right Natsuko?"
Tadashi laughs strangely as he feels the nervousness take over him.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAo6D78CmoPP
"Yes..Papa's right!"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAdX7nLvLVkI
-Oi oi oi,are you doing this on purpose??
447Please respect copyright.PENANAmD40VJzdWT
"She said it again!"
Misaki says it out loud, pointing to Tadashi.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA7wqXkVPA0l
Akigo is perplexed by what is happening (he is lost)
447Please respect copyright.PENANAAJ2SkRcgkv
"Misaki,you're overreacting."
Tadashi spews anything that comes to his mind at the moment
447Please respect copyright.PENANAzGxO7iATsM
"What do you mean by that?"
Misaki looks at him, unconvinced by what he had said.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAtIJqVOTCDB
"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."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAAAXvPGE8Il
Misaki seems convinced and then pads Tadashi's shoulder saying she was proud of him while blowing her nose with a tissue, feeling emotional.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAelrseoXgs5
-holyyy!! That was close...
447Please respect copyright.PENANAQXuvjqv9VY
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAFyqm28t99o
After a while,Misaki looks at them and sighs after realising that they had brought nothing.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAtH3PdbKzV9
"Oh,Tadashi,Akigo,did you guys forget to bring your sports kit?"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAH1ZbxsEs1E
They both 'ooh' and Tadashi turns to Akigo asking him where the sports kit were.Akigo tells him that they're at his place.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAut9jWvmd5q
"Eeh,I entrusted it to you yesterday, you said you'd bring it."
447Please respect copyright.PENANANLAKVNmpy0
Akigo folds his hands and apologies before running back home to get it.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAbWKmeki3w3
"Ok ok,I'll wait for you here with Misaki and Natsuko."
447Please respect copyright.PENANA9pwWgJV1gn
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAO3Cp099Ade
"Natsuko,what do you say?"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAQqNmzPQNmc
Natsuko says that she only wanted to stay with him and so, Misaki tries a different approach.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAPCj0VcHvRF
"Natsuko,let's buy lots of clothes for you."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAEqq1eD0ZGP
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAgYpNMslI48
"Burger."
Natsuko simply says.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAr6fARbPbsT
"Burger?"
Misaki was quite surprised to hear that and tries to confirm what she has just heard.
447Please respect copyright.PENANANKNBwxG3li
"Yes,she seems to love burgers more than anything."
Tadashi clears Misaki's question.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA0vWtFvxqWL
"Your elder sister will buy you lots of burgers then."
447Please respect copyright.PENANA6kpg9PgjHv
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAy0NHxjWszz
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAjK7ny8MWqT
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAOht0iLI6rX
"I expected something unusual to happen like in those movies,reality is quite boring."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAM5TtBhJYMU
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAquw1TGJ6lg
"Arghhh,what the! Arghhhh!"
447Please respect copyright.PENANALIjtadZQz9
He tries to walk but gives up as he could hardly stand.
447Please respect copyright.PENANABvtoJI4r6c
"Arghhh this is bad! I can't seem to walk!"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAt27iGQtMrW
-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...
447Please respect copyright.PENANA79czBT3eES
He soon starts to feel dizzy.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAl08mogQXd4
"I can't fall unconscious here."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAWcqzMD6vfA
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA8FFDedPow9
-what happened? Did I pass out?
447Please respect copyright.PENANAQyhDDXAELI
"Please don't move a lot,you'll open the wounds.~"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAHjvgJ81fAo
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAT6Ff4A7ByG
"Umm ...Yamada,thank you for doing this."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAnYM7soot15
"It's fine,don't worry about it.~"
447Please respect copyright.PENANANmGJRkVDnW
She ties the last bandage to his arm.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAXYCsGoHRGk
"This will do it, we only have to wait for your friend now."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAtif4y7u84H
Saying this,she closes her first aid kit and sits down next to him,feeling exhausted.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAr5BxHbdHPA
"Thank you a lot."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAPcnkLKkAzP
"Like I said..it's fine.~"
447Please respect copyright.PENANASgihWni9eT
She tells him to stop thanking her since it was nothing special.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAYPwDjcYjuQ
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANARiL7ZjZo9D
"What was that?~"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAxHQfvMORXJ
Natsuko seems concerned and stands up to go check it.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA52y0lNanlI
-I'm sure he fell down.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAd18H7yaFPM
"Nothing,it must be your imagination."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAQVRYe19O96
"Ok.~"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAT5Nt3PxpMq
She sits down again.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA3OzHYxCOpp

-My heart is pounding inside my chest. A girl is holding my hand, massaging my hand,her hand, her hand is so soft and arm...Forget pain,this is straight out of a fairy tale!
447Please respect copyright.PENANAAlYzsRQE91
Tadashi tries to speak, but the pressure of the circumstance causes him to stammer. She believes that he is feeling uneasy because of her.

"Umm... Asato,am I making you uncomfortable?"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAEU7sua4Cum

"You,You're a-a- asking me out?"

"I was kidding! Just kidding..ghhh"
Akigo taps on her arm and it starts to look like a scene from a wrestling match.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAgGQjvSJvKd
To add fuel to the flame,Tadashi tells her about Akigo falling out of a window from the first floor.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA7mXYPaKSPr

447Please respect copyright.PENANABMfbBRftNb
"Natsuko,what are you writing?"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAzg6udM0ruE

"Hey hey,you can't fool me with that."
He points at the book that she was holding to behind her.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0CgBQoNOp
"Eeeeh, it's Mama's diary."
447Please respect copyright.PENANARCLZw6vf53
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAeoAPKVbgbY
"Wait so this book knows the future?"
447Please respect copyright.PENANANshPCXYXiv

"I see....can I read it?"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAm8IlrOFzmn
"No! It will harm papa's future."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAciuuPyygsg
"But you're here to help me,right?"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAHnk5pvh1Ak
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAGygHweTUpj
"True but you could have at least warned me about today right?"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAGiboGKDW7s
"Natsuko told you to watch out, papa forgets easily."
447Please respect copyright.PENANASCi7BJyEAM
"Oh that's what you meant by that.Now I understand why you weren't worried."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAvBzkBTExlP
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAwfs8m98D35
-did she say 'help'?
447Please respect copyright.PENANA8iwVJ95hmI

"Natsuko,what is mama's name?"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAay0Z5HKlbP
"Yui Asato."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAtFmkpRpfHb
-it's her!!! It's Yamada !!!
447Please respect copyright.PENANAigpRK8wvU7

447Please respect copyright.PENANAMJE0fBfoc6
"Papa,what happened?"
447Please respect copyright.PENANA1Pvhz2zaWm
He snaps back to reality.
"Nothing,nothing!"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAGGKf30UZIv
"Hehe, Papa is in L-O-V-E."
She grins at him.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA1OkGXFPM3u
"Hey hey,you're too young to be saying that."
He tries parenting her but seems to be failing at it.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA4OBP2w0ZWv
"Papa L-O-V-E!"
447Please respect copyright.PENANA1YAWSSxFCp
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAI3jPe7zwLb
"Huh? You couldn't do it even if the cards were glued together."
Misaki taunts Akigo
447Please respect copyright.PENANA2Aj1WPqpDT
"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
447Please respect copyright.PENANAZdEdpT8z2V
"I could make an entire house of cards by the time you put 2 cards up!"
Misaki taunts Akigo again.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAu1CHtcXbBh
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANA6zUvzDZEM6
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.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAgw9GRp6LL2
Akigo is sleeping on the bed while Tadashi sleeps on the futon mattress.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAcemRYFftRE

447Please respect copyright.PENANAGC9OBPr7sW
"Akigo,can I ask you something?"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAUgoYoERwbq

"You like her?"
Akigo crawls over to the edge of the bed and looks over to him.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAKLDsZ3GBTP
"Noo,I was just asking!"
He waves both his hands while denying it.
447Please respect copyright.PENANApQbZ1wagrn
"Eeh,I thought my friend finally had his eyes set on a nice girl."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAhji6k6sl87
"No,you're expecting too much from me."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAp1GEQUbeQB
"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."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAXOof1ucnFi
"Here you go with the emotional lines again."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAsgdad87j4T
"Haha Tadashi, I'm not kidding."

"Yes,yes,what do you want to hear?"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAC2iwIhUtww
"Do you have anyone you like? And don't tell me the names of those girls you hang out with."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAb8bQOABj62
"Well,maybe I have,but I don't think she'd feel the same way."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAfIk9Wg94In
"Who?"
447Please respect copyright.PENANAewghPU7hwq
He crawls back to his pillow while yawning.It was as if he didn't want to answer it.
447Please respect copyright.PENANAVP5CQVmi8x
"Well,I'm sleepy,goodnight Tadashi."
447Please respect copyright.PENANAG6uTSAwfOh
"Good night,Akigo."

447Please respect copyright.PENANAbOZI806XAY
-Yui Yamada,hmmm...I'm really curious about her now,she's really mysterious and ...and ..
