-I didn't get a single minute of sleep last night.I NEED SLEEP!
454Please respect copyright.PENANAz04nDC7T8A
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAOgihkg459L
-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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANARTpLbrP4uj
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA8XqXWcIenb
"(Yawns)Natsukooo...time to wake up."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAPeLWh6vfWv
He says this as he gently shakes her shoulder..
454Please respect copyright.PENANAq4cBgds7l0
"Mmm....Later.~"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAc9gvpW65iB
Saying this sleepily,she pulls the blanket up from her feet and covers her head.

454Please respect copyright.PENANAKnD1BFPBGA
"Natsuko,it's not good to sleep late."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAY7tnQVOSnn
"Mmmmm.~"
454Please respect copyright.PENANA0B9DW9wGxV
She babbles something
454Please respect copyright.PENANA6wiQ7eBGTl
"Eh,Natsuko,wake up, I'll buy you anything u want if you're obedient."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAQdlarNlzCn
"Papa is lying.~"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAiMA8ClUfVh
-This brat knows..
454Please respect copyright.PENANAzX49nZTOGP
Feeling helpless,he turns to a very common strategy-shouting at them until they wake up.
454Please respect copyright.PENANALYlGlL11uu
"NATSUKO!!!! WAKE UP!!! WAKE UP."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAQdGcYkBl4H
She is startled and immediately wakes up to look around for signs of trouble.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAWn79QeVl6Z
"Papa! What happened?.~"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAfpYbu8ZIB6
"You woke up at last,huh?"

"Hey hey,don't say that.Kids of your age are supposed to be energetic."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAYPJL6xD6f0

454Please respect copyright.PENANAJS50H1gUep
"That's no excuse.Come,let's go."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAGGH2ozObpD
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANArY5SjyjJn7
"That is hard,this is harder than anything I've ever done."
454Please respect copyright.PENANA1LyMPtqwYw

454Please respect copyright.PENANAcRPDHWj7uz
"Papa,I'm hungry.~"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAUJO2903Cap

"I'm hungry myself too.Let's go, I'll make breakfast."
454Please respect copyright.PENANA0spksy2u6z

454Please respect copyright.PENANAMKKu5rsAQp

454Please respect copyright.PENANAvoz8qtmWQV
"Nice to hear that,but there's no mama here,so we gotta make it ourselves."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAxcUd9oWmKb
"Okay papa~"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAtwXDI1WUrE
"Um Natsuko,have you brought anything ..from the future that can make food by itself? Like a magic tablecloth."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAzXp6VhSdin
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAMQFM3ZrqTV
They head downstairs to prepare breakfast.Natsuko climbs up to the chair and settles down while he inspects what's inside in his fridge.

"Ok Natsuko,before we go, I'd like to explain some rules to you."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAAUsEAEsC1m

"What do u want then?"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAT3XqgFuB08

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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAm2vGRYJnMr
"Papa,where are we?"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAgOFc4cHFd8
"The school! I need to practice for the upcoming interschool sports week!"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAgKHS434Yqc
Tadashi was enthusiastic about it and Natsuko could hear it in his tone.
454Please respect copyright.PENANASiFzKp8uuD
"Why is it empty then?~"
She looks around but sees none around.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAPOioRblp3l
"Well,it's a Saturday....The only students here are the ones who have club activities."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAOfX2nJLsHh
"Okay.~"
454Please respect copyright.PENANASxwlpOXpVC
"By the way,Natsuko...Do I play for any big events in future?"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAKo8UbjbNwg
"Papa always goes to the office.~"
454Please respect copyright.PENANA14Uqm1uKl8
"So I'm just a simple office man then."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAKKpXZJZase
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAhjlnNKw9pD
"Papa,It's okay.~"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAG1QTpYJ97i
As he considers what he has said,Tadashi turns to face her to make up for the future.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAis6e8UUZmz
"Natsuko,let's play when we're back home today."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAB4BbJSsHIZ

454Please respect copyright.PENANAe9GtY6O6BT
"Of course,let's play a lot."
Natsuko gives her a head pat.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAI0Vs4KqmIS
"Thank you.~"
She hugs him in delight.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA5Qc6ujRfed
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAVTQl2Luck4
"Papa,who are they?~"
454Please respect copyright.PENANABSI6ljvMg5
"They're my friends."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAgyhSGYhvuL
He tells Natsuko to remember the rules as his friends approach.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAbPHlyPYYqM
"Akigo,Misaki,good morning."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAeDblGBmHQC
They wish him back.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAXjwgkuGfkf
Misaki sees Natsuko and asks Tadashi who the little girl was.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAXOOGqJ3aLu
"Yes,who's she?."
Akigo points at her.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA2VEzBIbZlK
Natsuko walks closer to them and gracefully introduces herself.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA8MbCbQ8OfJ
"Sooo cutee, she's soo adorable."
Misaki says this as both she and Akigo awws in unison.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAgrub0yvQOg
Misaki tries to make Natsuko comfortable with them by lowering down to her and then she introduces herself.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAnmt9pYiEiV
"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."
454Please respect copyright.PENANATJLG53EpK8
"Hey!! Why am I called an idiot?"
Akigo shouts at Misaki after hearing that.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAHxUzFyMe1r
"I wasn't wrong tho."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAtixhpd2Ezv
"Why you!"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAryUZjhO5xv
Natsuko sees them shouting a lot and now understands why her father frequently shouts.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAqh6T2XepAl
"Tadashi, I thought you wouldn't come." Akigo exclaims.
454Please respect copyright.PENANApQKynlLc2Q
"You sound like you don't want me here,Akigo."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAmvKtT0ApP9
Misaki pinches Tadashi on the arm as he says that.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAOMdo7MIovl
"Ouch,Misaki,why?" Tadashi cries in pain.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA9a0CMXzJUT
"Hey hey,let's not argue here."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAz5VcuF5JDw
"Akigo started it though!"
Tadashi tries to reason with her.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAlyg3IpSiZt
--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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAMQbjMxF4Uw
"Tadashi, why didn't you tell us you had relatives coming over?"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAOvCx0d2QhU
"It was a surprise visit, she just came alone last night."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAj7yNzSB0Fx
"Alone?!"
454Please respect copyright.PENANABaS6epWz2p
The idea of a young girl being sent off by herself appears to have annoyed Misaki.He makes up something to calm her down.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAHuT8DedvS4
-This girl here is Minamoto Misaki.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAT4XqegxKHL
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANArdBC2OcPHG
"Tadashi,you know how happy I am to see you."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAwjExLpbwRp
"You're acting like it's been years,we saw each other yesterday."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAj7ZSe3hopE
"Don't say that,a true friendship contains missing each other."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAKuJRBLkcxh
Akigo taps Tadashi's shoulder and winks while saying that.Tadashi shivers at the sight.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAwKFu2WLpCm
"Akigo,you sure you're not into that?"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAbljtR01NGl
"Noo,noo I didn't mean that!"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAaQhe2U1R8M
Akigo sees Tadashi has a grin on his face after saying that.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAHj9k495bhi
"I'm speaking the truth!Misaki,say something!"
Akigo tries to get Misaki to help him.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAuvfP3GQBZa
"What am I even suppose to say here? Aren't you into that?"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAOE5AMhj92B
They all seem to be against him.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA0paIIlB5Bg
"If caring for a friend is considered that,then I shall accept it!"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAFWe4EXz5HJ
Akigo tries to sound cool while saying that.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA8OTHWxYEMt
"That's making it worse,please shut up."
Tadashi and Misaki speak in unison while looking creeped out by him.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAQbSmNCUDXs
"Papa, I'm bored."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAM8jVhsDUWy
Akigo and Misaki both turn their gaze at Tadashi after hearing Natsuko calling him papa.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAepFrpEs5ww
-Oh my!! this girl! Did she forget?!
454Please respect copyright.PENANAs6Sr6zJ2NX
"Oi Tadashi, why is she calling you papa?." Misaki leers at Tadashi.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAUpm6zPIqx6
"She likes to play around.Hahaha
,right Natsuko?"
Tadashi laughs strangely as he feels the nervousness take over him.
454Please respect copyright.PENANARnaCI0Xhf5
"Yes..Papa's right!"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAIARwUlWN5T
-Oi oi oi,are you doing this on purpose??
454Please respect copyright.PENANA9C9trDr9fx
"She said it again!"
Misaki says it out loud, pointing to Tadashi.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAQFdd3aRPWd
Akigo is perplexed by what is happening (he is lost)
454Please respect copyright.PENANAGMh00gJgWk
"Misaki,you're overreacting."
Tadashi spews anything that comes to his mind at the moment
454Please respect copyright.PENANAtB3FrdusI5
"What do you mean by that?"
Misaki looks at him, unconvinced by what he had said.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAuXNt8sADzS
"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."
454Please respect copyright.PENANArFPWTtFgv7
Misaki seems convinced and then pads Tadashi's shoulder saying she was proud of him while blowing her nose with a tissue, feeling emotional.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAIK2T0U1EsT
-holyyy!! That was close...
454Please respect copyright.PENANA0GHy1kbpNK
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA9EG2jy4u38
After a while,Misaki looks at them and sighs after realising that they had brought nothing.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAriZkuGb0p6
"Oh,Tadashi,Akigo,did you guys forget to bring your sports kit?"
454Please respect copyright.PENANASCm5a9KSKK
They both 'ooh' and Tadashi turns to Akigo asking him where the sports kit were.Akigo tells him that they're at his place.
454Please respect copyright.PENANABm32aby1NE
"Eeh,I entrusted it to you yesterday, you said you'd bring it."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAI8h3igJJPR
Akigo folds his hands and apologies before running back home to get it.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAtYBQab1IHR
"Ok ok,I'll wait for you here with Misaki and Natsuko."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAMtk2QMRWnB
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAx294i5UGTD
"Natsuko,what do you say?"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAoGChz4Mqcj
Natsuko says that she only wanted to stay with him and so, Misaki tries a different approach.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAIBjEx8f1tW
"Natsuko,let's buy lots of clothes for you."
454Please respect copyright.PENANA1VzUWX1lY4
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAw4qnm8A10o
"Burger."
Natsuko simply says.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAaFJ63m5ZhI
"Burger?"
Misaki was quite surprised to hear that and tries to confirm what she has just heard.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAa5pG14V6Yl
"Yes,she seems to love burgers more than anything."
Tadashi clears Misaki's question.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAzeVvn81Fkc
"Your elder sister will buy you lots of burgers then."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAjNFEi7ugtJ
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA26zROa76SU
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAnRkbicV6RM
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANATG2Z5VdknG
"I expected something unusual to happen like in those movies,reality is quite boring."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAGRMF54OZ0O
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAoiYLnG2X2i
"Arghhh,what the! Arghhhh!"
454Please respect copyright.PENANACNxsix23s3
He tries to walk but gives up as he could hardly stand.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAKXKQR0WRQR
"Arghhh this is bad! I can't seem to walk!"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAJz7pxz79x1
-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...
454Please respect copyright.PENANAeg9d7CdMcG
He soon starts to feel dizzy.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAt3I8C87bSd
"I can't fall unconscious here."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAzjPl7Gb1ve
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANArrLVIuCpjg
-what happened? Did I pass out?
454Please respect copyright.PENANApDBI1Yj5r1
"Please don't move a lot,you'll open the wounds.~"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAwKUS7s2ItX
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAeOkYYWwKyx
"Umm ...Yamada,thank you for doing this."
454Please respect copyright.PENANA5VtzHqdwZZ
"It's fine,don't worry about it.~"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAMsJEhNCesr
She ties the last bandage to his arm.
454Please respect copyright.PENANANmEXeBPWr3
"This will do it, we only have to wait for your friend now."
454Please respect copyright.PENANA0EyMejXcfT
Saying this,she closes her first aid kit and sits down next to him,feeling exhausted.
454Please respect copyright.PENANA7eo8NPoUQv
"Thank you a lot."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAGsXRxweeJq
"Like I said..it's fine.~"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAnjSthuMRqy
She tells him to stop thanking her since it was nothing special.
454Please respect copyright.PENANArggtpjEcJj
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAorAbOWYrM2
"What was that?~"
454Please respect copyright.PENANApOhsMC12vF
Natsuko seems concerned and stands up to go check it.
454Please respect copyright.PENANABCwfJoQaJ3
-I'm sure he fell down.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAN7vDey1TpI
"Nothing,it must be your imagination."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAlU6WNnOmwo
"Ok.~"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAwHxb47w21d
She sits down again.

"But you're here to help me,right?"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAdTfeXOowUU
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAUWfQWMjd1w
"True but you could have at least warned me about today right?"
454Please respect copyright.PENANA8TGWXhxD4K

454Please respect copyright.PENANAr4yDzotR6v
"Papa,what happened?"
454Please respect copyright.PENANAH8bdTD1rCR

454Please respect copyright.PENANAElVYnDTfKP
"Papa L-O-V-E!"
454Please respect copyright.PENANA50WvQSIl9M
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.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAxwplbLvqtW
"Huh? You couldn't do it even if the cards were glued together."
Misaki taunts Akigo
454Please respect copyright.PENANAxK5FRdKXAM
"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
454Please respect copyright.PENANARCJPoXDHCm
"I could make an entire house of cards by the time you put 2 cards up!"
Misaki taunts Akigo again.
454Please respect copyright.PENANAUFGyGpXGQs
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.

454Please respect copyright.PENANAwcomS2fVIj
"Eeh,I thought my friend finally had his eyes set on a nice girl."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAKWJJrfBnRd
"No,you're expecting too much from me."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAf4GM79fyCo
"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."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAGzhCyjI5M2
"Here you go with the emotional lines again."
454Please respect copyright.PENANAyJM8QnJ7A3

454Please respect copyright.PENANAvu6jVWlr4q
"Who?"
