-I didn't get a single minute of sleep last night.I NEED SLEEP!
411Please respect copyright.PENANAEon9ICwgD9
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAFCSlDCVrdw
-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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANArYJiJJUJj8
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnMF7h4cOF1
"(Yawns)Natsukooo...time to wake up."
411Please respect copyright.PENANA6SQSU2Kc3j
He says this as he gently shakes her shoulder..
411Please respect copyright.PENANA5b47PMNNw0
"Mmm....Later.~"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAaNzr19VAwM
Saying this sleepily,she pulls the blanket up from her feet and covers her head.

She babbles something
411Please respect copyright.PENANAJIHKbyw7W1
"Eh,Natsuko,wake up, I'll buy you anything u want if you're obedient."
411Please respect copyright.PENANACQkr8hS3ek
"Papa is lying.~"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAbMmAxfP181
-This brat knows..
411Please respect copyright.PENANATN2jzaKAH0
Feeling helpless,he turns to a very common strategy-shouting at them until they wake up.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwLIlDAVEBc
"NATSUKO!!!! WAKE UP!!! WAKE UP."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAye7Jp2Vxwh
She is startled and immediately wakes up to look around for signs of trouble.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwJj5g0Au5s
"Papa! What happened?.~"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAUIZp2SMhX1
"You woke up at last,huh?"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAgv9RdICkrG

411Please respect copyright.PENANAjQz4KMMcCv
"Papa is very noisy.~"
411Please respect copyright.PENANA9C01Io7HOq

"Hey hey,don't say that.Kids of your age are supposed to be energetic."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAroMUlJ7e9p
"Papa,I'm not a child.~"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAbNVJOtthAd
"That's no excuse.Come,let's go."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAIlj05i5K2d
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANACORkAWaGIh
"That is hard,this is harder than anything I've ever done."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAEP9WDdlAyF

411Please respect copyright.PENANAu3ROqmp33W
"Papa,I'm hungry.~"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAHCIlcFF7Hj

"I'm hungry myself too.Let's go, I'll make breakfast."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxAubVJRESp

411Please respect copyright.PENANA5FzIlvIOkF
"Mama makes it for us there,mama makes very delicious food.~"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAOtLRK6R0iG

411Please respect copyright.PENANACmkY0agrWM
"Nice to hear that,but there's no mama here,so we gotta make it ourselves."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAWayNq2GPDT
"Okay papa~"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQxzOevyFOl
"Um Natsuko,have you brought anything ..from the future that can make food by itself? Like a magic tablecloth."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAFoVuYvQBtn
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAh7JOFyZcXu
They head downstairs to prepare breakfast.Natsuko climbs up to the chair and settles down while he inspects what's inside in his fridge.

411Please respect copyright.PENANAeOyzuwRXm6
"What do u want then?"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAu7PA57AoRA

411Please respect copyright.PENANAp4ztIuejim

411Please respect copyright.PENANA9wqjzr2vDd
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnXdWC7VZ1r
"Papa,where are we?"
411Please respect copyright.PENANA17HYTi7qcO
"The school! I need to practice for the upcoming interschool sports week!"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAcog5s93yCG
Tadashi was enthusiastic about it and Natsuko could hear it in his tone.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2aNkxg0N5Z
"Why is it empty then?~"
She looks around but sees none around.
411Please respect copyright.PENANArfQ3q8Zn72
"Well,it's a Saturday....The only students here are the ones who have club activities."
411Please respect copyright.PENANANdPPczcMX8
"Okay.~"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAozNS0kVg3k
"By the way,Natsuko...Do I play for any big events in future?"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAUOE7BmXVXU
"Papa always goes to the office.~"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAciCnJNyCMf
"So I'm just a simple office man then."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAInlbt0Oj1i
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKAIhCl6M4e
"Papa,It's okay.~"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAk8617centj
As he considers what he has said,Tadashi turns to face her to make up for the future.
411Please respect copyright.PENANATGFrkV3SWb
"Natsuko,let's play when we're back home today."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwE1vh1fevQ

411Please respect copyright.PENANAettUIuG52o
"Of course,let's play a lot."
Natsuko gives her a head pat.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAAhHnlGbM0g
"Thank you.~"
She hugs him in delight.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAAsisobwHBR
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANALgSNGWHAWc
"Papa,who are they?~"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQZQ5LYUxeA
"They're my friends."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAulKi4Am0g1
He tells Natsuko to remember the rules as his friends approach.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwqckao4o6N
"Akigo,Misaki,good morning."
411Please respect copyright.PENANANSD62D0Nql
They wish him back.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAqFOSPceKPz
Misaki sees Natsuko and asks Tadashi who the little girl was.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAC86Jx0EUX5
"Yes,who's she?."
Akigo points at her.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2655E19TA9
Natsuko walks closer to them and gracefully introduces herself.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAdtBiDt5lEg
"Sooo cutee, she's soo adorable."
Misaki says this as both she and Akigo awws in unison.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAqgK5EZ92MA
Misaki tries to make Natsuko comfortable with them by lowering down to her and then she introduces herself.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA7Tppl43yih
"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."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAJTCdprJWem
"Hey!! Why am I called an idiot?"
Akigo shouts at Misaki after hearing that.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAZrmtoDxY5s
"I wasn't wrong tho."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKzJD0e3H1G
"Why you!"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAuP10J5mdLa
Natsuko sees them shouting a lot and now understands why her father frequently shouts.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAznNu0gGIbP
"Tadashi, I thought you wouldn't come." Akigo exclaims.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAkr5Fdj0Uaa
"You sound like you don't want me here,Akigo."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAmI31wODL5f
Misaki pinches Tadashi on the arm as he says that.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAabx451gbk6
"Ouch,Misaki,why?" Tadashi cries in pain.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAjs82LPUynf
"Hey hey,let's not argue here."
411Please respect copyright.PENANASlQToEHsyf
"Akigo started it though!"
Tadashi tries to reason with her.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAqyd3NDxq3t
--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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAYOApOGyOhs
"Tadashi, why didn't you tell us you had relatives coming over?"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAPRAvzniTjH
"It was a surprise visit, she just came alone last night."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAtVW53F85Wb
"Alone?!"
411Please respect copyright.PENANABq29uKaWsy
The idea of a young girl being sent off by herself appears to have annoyed Misaki.He makes up something to calm her down.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAqNggptS5Co
-This girl here is Minamoto Misaki.
411Please respect copyright.PENANALQfNF1H7Uo
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQQQo3RnqiI
"Tadashi,you know how happy I am to see you."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAGCN1Knndw3
"You're acting like it's been years,we saw each other yesterday."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAid3vD3oIFS
"Don't say that,a true friendship contains missing each other."
411Please respect copyright.PENANArikxr1uQR5
Akigo taps Tadashi's shoulder and winks while saying that.Tadashi shivers at the sight.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAK3Sv71NHK4
"Akigo,you sure you're not into that?"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7r4rffQQN
"Noo,noo I didn't mean that!"
411Please respect copyright.PENANACfCnea5xL6
Akigo sees Tadashi has a grin on his face after saying that.
411Please respect copyright.PENANApPk5ZzZJkf
"I'm speaking the truth!Misaki,say something!"
Akigo tries to get Misaki to help him.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA8RJ2YMNN9y
"What am I even suppose to say here? Aren't you into that?"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAO9lRCgWv6g
They all seem to be against him.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAK1Rn1Wk8xZ
"If caring for a friend is considered that,then I shall accept it!"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAJvCg7q0fsU
Akigo tries to sound cool while saying that.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA8LWnEfLbnl
"That's making it worse,please shut up."
Tadashi and Misaki speak in unison while looking creeped out by him.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAV56y3XZJrL
"Papa, I'm bored."
411Please respect copyright.PENANA8RxHOBJbWv
Akigo and Misaki both turn their gaze at Tadashi after hearing Natsuko calling him papa.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAm1u0n7OViI
-Oh my!! this girl! Did she forget?!
411Please respect copyright.PENANAo1dk1ceWaP
"Oi Tadashi, why is she calling you papa?." Misaki leers at Tadashi.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAC6u6ANmjVV
"She likes to play around.Hahaha
,right Natsuko?"
Tadashi laughs strangely as he feels the nervousness take over him.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAmxQtdHxFU2
"Yes..Papa's right!"
411Please respect copyright.PENANA3n5w6eOFV5
-Oi oi oi,are you doing this on purpose??
411Please respect copyright.PENANAlbHoc2L4QJ
"She said it again!"
Misaki says it out loud, pointing to Tadashi.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAx29w6J6D8T
Akigo is perplexed by what is happening (he is lost)
411Please respect copyright.PENANANdO2x6rZJh
"Misaki,you're overreacting."
Tadashi spews anything that comes to his mind at the moment
411Please respect copyright.PENANA24Q9jKt4zL
"What do you mean by that?"
Misaki looks at him, unconvinced by what he had said.
411Please respect copyright.PENANABz6yf76RJ4
"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."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAHNTBBwxHxQ
Misaki seems convinced and then pads Tadashi's shoulder saying she was proud of him while blowing her nose with a tissue, feeling emotional.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAcxbkq8w8tQ
-holyyy!! That was close...
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQcAl4pAc8w
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQ82upkLIvo
After a while,Misaki looks at them and sighs after realising that they had brought nothing.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAgwAPKT2B2t
"Oh,Tadashi,Akigo,did you guys forget to bring your sports kit?"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAfEAcDV3jXO
They both 'ooh' and Tadashi turns to Akigo asking him where the sports kit were.Akigo tells him that they're at his place.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAOlVRFoQSEZ
"Eeh,I entrusted it to you yesterday, you said you'd bring it."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAl82fPtD6LF
Akigo folds his hands and apologies before running back home to get it.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAiPFwv8cRPF
"Ok ok,I'll wait for you here with Misaki and Natsuko."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxlblHSbUE6
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAF45fAyggBO
"Natsuko,what do you say?"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAouRf2162jC
Natsuko says that she only wanted to stay with him and so, Misaki tries a different approach.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAAlhf6tsJsK
"Natsuko,let's buy lots of clothes for you."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAqerePew0OC
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAHWBZgqMOI9
"Burger."
Natsuko simply says.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAzIItMQzwPX
"Burger?"
Misaki was quite surprised to hear that and tries to confirm what she has just heard.
411Please respect copyright.PENANALDIISvsKd5
"Yes,she seems to love burgers more than anything."
Tadashi clears Misaki's question.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA8KFc3Qo0kK
"Your elder sister will buy you lots of burgers then."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAolYAKlIeWU
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAPtGCW01Ei8
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAW2cwAxeqrF
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAW8PRTJg2bl
"I expected something unusual to happen like in those movies,reality is quite boring."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAONqPFPzaes
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAf3p6Uokiaq
"Arghhh,what the! Arghhhh!"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXzo1EyvSoK
He tries to walk but gives up as he could hardly stand.
411Please respect copyright.PENANALW31qDTfJw
"Arghhh this is bad! I can't seem to walk!"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAksulI6mpke
-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...
411Please respect copyright.PENANAcrqPiLCsNn
He soon starts to feel dizzy.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA9qE4pY8VlE
"I can't fall unconscious here."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAEzBsHinMjb
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAU97dMcjb3s
-what happened? Did I pass out?
411Please respect copyright.PENANAULHzZ8bTZr
"Please don't move a lot,you'll open the wounds.~"
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2XhWYceUmb
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANANpjmhFvqTo
"Umm ...Yamada,thank you for doing this."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAVx2bgOQsjs
"It's fine,don't worry about it.~"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAYOu1NCmaTc
She ties the last bandage to his arm.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAgPrQRiOQoi
"This will do it, we only have to wait for your friend now."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXdkPCW2bX6
Saying this,she closes her first aid kit and sits down next to him,feeling exhausted.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAWnUCTVtaHW
"Thank you a lot."
411Please respect copyright.PENANA9RBl7PhirZ
"Like I said..it's fine.~"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAgy2ByqTtND
She tells him to stop thanking her since it was nothing special.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA65NtNUJ9aF
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2RbNp5LYZ7
"What was that?~"
411Please respect copyright.PENANA5sfOnp5pvU
Natsuko seems concerned and stands up to go check it.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAVOkvvaJZZL
-I'm sure he fell down.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAcrM4KQsJPg
"Nothing,it must be your imagination."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAezccaX8LOe
"Ok.~"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAkisNJXcUrx

411Please respect copyright.PENANAjJm9peRi4F
"The little prince?"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAz69Tng6xEE
He doesn't understand what she means and keeps staring at it.She keeps it back in her bag and tells him that she often comes here to read since everywhere she goes, people would often stare at her and this made her uncomfortable.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAqzHm6ucLBO
"I'm sorry to hear that."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAvffvZw8q9a
She tells him that it was fine as it wasn't his fault,she also tells him not to tell anyone about this as she wanted to be alone.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAH1ld5kKlQf
"Okay,I won't."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxLNFyIApnh
Tadashi's hand feels a sudden discomfort as he touches it and knew well that it was a mild foosh injury.She sees him clutching his right hand in discomfort.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAzXOHL0Lj9v
"Umm,does it hurt a lot?~"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAEttlixLVCG
"A bit,haha, that's why you should look where you're walking."

411Please respect copyright.PENANAYeDy2w4iRM
"Can you give me your hand?"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAHiCxjgQgnm
"Sure,why tho?"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXb4JhMghOi
Having no idea as to why she asked.He puts his hand on top of hers,she gently brings it closer to her chest and puts her other hand on top of it,and starts massaging it gently.
411Please respect copyright.PENANABcc7lvP8LR
-Oh My God!!!!!
411Please respect copyright.PENANAj2NhJbgvh0
"If it hurts,please tell me."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAt794bEdc15

411Please respect copyright.PENANAz6ubCWAvfg
-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!
411Please respect copyright.PENANAdZogyBaoU2
Tadashi tries to speak, but the pressure of the circumstance causes him to stammer. She believes that he is feeling uneasy because of her.
411Please respect copyright.PENANApQPK88qN0w
"Umm... Asato,am I making you uncomfortable?"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAcTzICGEtb6
"No,No,what are you saying?"
This abrupt shift in her mood makes Tadashi nervous.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAhKok28HDgQ
"I thought I was making you uncomfortable. I'm not used to talking to people...I'm sorry."
411Please respect copyright.PENANApQM3EBKzTH

"I am instead thankful that I'm here with you.I cannot thank you enough for saving me."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAuydE0GLB23
Her hand starts to get warm as she starts to feel shy.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA9W8k0zlcPZ
"You speak a lot.~"
She softly but quickly says this
411Please respect copyright.PENANAPiYSI6Jrho
"Well..it's not my fault,after all,a cute girl is holding my hand."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAOHFg9M0S8E
It was too sudden for her and she gets embarrassed,and squeezes his hand unconsciously.As the wound is pressed,he screams in agony and she lets go of his hand.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAvLGTVqaB3H
"Sorry! Sorry!~"
She apologizes,but he tells her it was fine and insists that it was his fault.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAcL8oX7eyeY
He finds the situation funny and starts laughing which is then followed by her laughing about it too.As he looks at her laughing,he feels a sense of happiness.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAz4kStonYC8
"Yamada,let's be friends."
He gently says this.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAu2kBJvAdEY
"Ummm...but I'm not an interesting person or anything."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnf9hVETkgv
He sighs and tells her to think positive and not to say like that because he wasn't asking her out.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAcbsX6RDYKD
"You,You're a-a- asking me out?"
She stammers and looks down to hide her blushing face.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAebpL3ApGNX
"I didn't mean that! I was just saying that I wanted to be your friend!"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAsvit1FOvJb
She retains her composure again and brings her hand up to her mouth and clears her throat before she speaks.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAhdFL1ayE7l
"Ok,I can do that."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAcAJnoUHhvQ
"Right, right, we're friends then."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAJBbkiYXDpx
"I don't think I know how to reply to that"
She quietly says this.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA8nP7TiHnUn
"You don't have to say anything."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXlLHKHrLwD
A door is pushed open and Akigo comes running in looking all bruised and apologizes to Tadashi while crying.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAmIwqnvgAvH
"Akigo,stop with the crocodile tears."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAJrtFPw4KXK
"Sorry Tadashi,I ran inside the wrong building in search of you.Sorry!"

"Huh!!!! You need help instead of me!"
411Please respect copyright.PENANA9PKMTwRScL

411Please respect copyright.PENANABUs0l9NEmj
"Oi oi,that's not fine! Are you sure you aren't injured anywhere?"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAt8crmWAWD7
"Tadashii,chill,it's nothing."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAoVQxrsB8Jz
Akigo thanks her for taking care of Tadashi, referring to her as an Angel.He then picks Tadashi and assists him in walking by bringing his shoulder over Tadashi's shoulder and thanks her again before leaving.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQRYybrESo2
Akigo continues to talk to him as they walk to the school gate.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAJWNj2LXLms

411Please respect copyright.PENANA00POyApDCs
"LIKE YOU'RE ONE TO ADVICE ME!"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAAcFbkWKopZ

411Please respect copyright.PENANAMiFoBMwpKq
"Hahaha,aight sit down,I've called a taxi for you as you need to see a doctor."

411Please respect copyright.PENANABCwH0gX3Ik

The taxi then arrives and they go to the hospital where he gets some stitches and medicines and is advised to take care of himself and not to strain himself.He is told that he passed out from shock and he need not concern himself since there was nothing serious now.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAIVic2Ps1xd
"Thank you,doctor."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAsAdp3Byrsh
"Welcome... but you should thank your friend here instead,he stopped the bleeding and prevented some serious blood loss."
411Please respect copyright.PENANA3G4LmAVUB1
"Heh? When did I do that?"
Akigo looks puzzled
411Please respect copyright.PENANA5nqWCwpPqo
-I seem to be getting reasons after reasons to thank Yamada again.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA62CdZLBKfp
Akigo receives a call informing him that a taxi had just arrived and was waiting for them outside.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAMGJXgJoURN

411Please respect copyright.PENANA8qFdsTtW0M
"Heh? You guys didn't have to do this."
411Please respect copyright.PENANA5xzRRNjkk9
Tadashi feels like a burden for disturbing their schedule and apologizes.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAkhBEbXHtqg
"Tadashi you know,It's not everyday that I get to be useful to you,I'm happy I can do this even though I was one of the causes."
411Please respect copyright.PENANATGPvPAlBfD

"We're back."

411Please respect copyright.PENANAMHhPAvBCi5
"Misaki!! You were worried about me,right?.I'm sorry for making you wor-"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAw52lbsZVXr
As Akigo approaches Misaki to hug her while saying this.She puts him in a chokehold and asks who he thinks he was for her to miss him.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAfEhZ5v6z4F
"I was kidding! Just kidding..ghhh"
Akigo taps on her arm and it starts to look like a scene from a wrestling match.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwlQo9CgI8n
To add fuel to the flame,Tadashi tells her about Akigo falling out of a window from the first floor.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAjzdu1sWoLk
"Heh! You fell too? That's soo sad."
She tightens the hold.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA7DkTHDO07s
"I'm fine,I landed on a bunch of old mattress...guhhh"he struggles

411Please respect copyright.PENANARmK1BmbyAR
"Wow,you can cook?"

411Please respect copyright.PENANAhaP9zNGRal
"Oi Akigo,you really want to die today?"

411Please respect copyright.PENANAicwxogFwK3
"I'm kidding!"

411Please respect copyright.PENANArkKPVPGyZJ
"Natsuko, were you worried about me?"
Tadashi thinks that he must have gotten her worried.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAYYdDvQyqjt
"No papa."
She instantly replies.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxhPUUPUvu2
"It hurts to hear that."
He looks disappointed and sighs at the reply.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAJRqUT9qOFP
"Hehe papa is funny."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnmEEvR5nqu
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA4qpW0Suykd
"Natsuko,what are you writing?"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAO65C97w4p5
She quickly closes the book and hides it behind her.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAgpZPKl7fSF
"Hey hey,you can't fool me with that."
He points at the book that she was holding to behind her.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnriCPJfalM
"Eeeeh, it's Mama's diary."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAsS0iz51HE3
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAalkLbPRVC9
"Wait so this book knows the future?"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAgTRrMI3dhE
"Yes! Mama wrote it when she was young."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAHUG2s7J9iJ
-by young,she means as a teenager..which means it's the present.
411Please respect copyright.PENANABSwWQgPPz0
"I see....can I read it?"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAUyYl3TRrqZ
"No! It will harm papa's future."
411Please respect copyright.PENANA6xM1jaSKzC
"But you're here to help me,right?"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAOYkeULKVQV
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2Zwlg37pqW
"True but you could have at least warned me about today right?"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAHqIQPcNIVR
"Natsuko told you to watch out, papa forgets easily."
411Please respect copyright.PENANA1klKG1DiL5
"Oh that's what you meant by that.Now I understand why you weren't worried."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAtxqqZpJnXz
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQDV18TffBm
-did she say 'help'?
411Please respect copyright.PENANAq7qhznnLKY
He had some ideas about who she could be and asks her for confirmation.
411Please respect copyright.PENANARNCQKVOL6n
"Natsuko,what is mama's name?"
411Please respect copyright.PENANARaRYdMOet9
"Yui Asato."
411Please respect copyright.PENANADqKs7x6DoB
-it's her!!! It's Yamada !!!
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQfOV4F3E0E
Tadashi thinks about her massaging his hand and unconsciously touches the hand.Natsuko looks at him and could see his face red out of embarrassment.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAHF4Kf5WmLm
"Papa,what happened?"
411Please respect copyright.PENANA6aU5xmM21g
He snaps back to reality.
"Nothing,nothing!"
411Please respect copyright.PENANARZglTYS28d
"Hehe, Papa is in L-O-V-E."
She grins at him.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA0CzUQgKYNh
"Hey hey,you're too young to be saying that."
He tries parenting her but seems to be failing at it.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAw0LNKwp6IV
"Papa L-O-V-E!"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAbo8Xit1Jqm
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA3yO9Zveu6g
"Huh? You couldn't do it even if the cards were glued together."
Misaki taunts Akigo
411Please respect copyright.PENANAFh7AujJoqD
"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
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXBb8n5OKpS
"I could make an entire house of cards by the time you put 2 cards up!"
Misaki taunts Akigo again.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAEhCf7zZFPi
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA5alkDKgfAc
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAENKjl4HplW
Akigo is sleeping on the bed while Tadashi sleeps on the futon mattress.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAz5Fy7Bowfn
Tadashi is curious about Yui and so he tries to ask Akigo about her thinking he'd have some idea.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxm8AoAfmaf
"Akigo,can I ask you something?"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAg7ZzU8F6k1
"Sure sure,ask me anything."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAOReE7ybISE
"Umm..How do you feel about our classmate,Yamada?"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAOW2LTdkglo
"You like her?"
Akigo crawls over to the edge of the bed and looks over to him.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAVhmJWEygVq
"Noo,I was just asking!"
He waves both his hands while denying it.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAi86OkG1awx
"Eeh,I thought my friend finally had his eyes set on a nice girl."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAeQTRO7Jv7j
"No,you're expecting too much from me."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAI0KH77SDUl
"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."
411Please respect copyright.PENANA7ez4LUBGNj
"Here you go with the emotional lines again."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAMcRJBKjGDS
"Haha Tadashi, I'm not kidding."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1qnWoJKjK
"Tell me, Akigo."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAATuUsaRBuH
He looks up at him.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnurVtjmLY7
"Yes,yes,what do you want to hear?"
411Please respect copyright.PENANA4SxbRPDkqY
"Do you have anyone you like? And don't tell me the names of those girls you hang out with."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAjzN4nRKpWR
"Well,maybe I have,but I don't think she'd feel the same way."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAEcE5j5tig5
"Who?"
411Please respect copyright.PENANAvgnaRkYiZn
He crawls back to his pillow while yawning.It was as if he didn't want to answer it.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA6pRQD8hjTt
"Well,I'm sleepy,goodnight Tadashi."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAVqReZm15kh
"Good night,Akigo."
411Please respect copyright.PENANA71YBsCHNxI
He pulls the anchor to his table lamp making the room go dark.He can be seen staring at the ceiling while thinking about something.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAIr5xVpciC9
-Yui Yamada,hmmm...I'm really curious about her now,she's really mysterious and ...and ..
411Please respect copyright.PENANAMn6xi8nqhB
