Subaru:  "!” The instant he embraced that sentiment, a sharp pain ran through Subaru’s head once more. He began to vaguely suspect just what was causing the pain. But Subaru averted his gaze from Kenichi as he said, “…And? Now that you’ve landed the jab, what’s Daddy’s right-handed punch, your conversation topic, gonna be?”

Kenichi:  "Yes, let’s see. Subaru, do you have a girl you like?”

Subaru:  “What is this, middle school?! !”

Kenichi:  “Ohh, that overreaction is like making a confession, don’t ya know?”

Subaru:  “What gives with you saying that with that smug look on your face? Exasperated sighs of lament don’t mean anything, you know.” He’d meant to paper over the sentiment, but that blow had been an unexpected one.

Subaru:  But, as a matter of fact, the assertion was off the mark, because Subaru didn’t have any interest in such things at that time. He had neither the interest nor a belief that he ought to have one.

Kenichi:  “Keh, well, aren’t you boring. I laid it all out when you were little, didn’t I? Girls have a weakness for promises that happened years ago and situations like that, so go make some and set up some flags, damn it!”

Subaru:  “If I sincerely took that as truth, I’d have every girl in town pointing me out as a dishonest bastard. I already have too many sins to deal with…you trying to drive me down into a living hell?”

Kenichi:  “…If only you’d inherited my gentle mask. You’ve got Mom’s I-don’t-give-a-damn look, plus Daddy’s short legs and bad jokes. Your status points are pretty low, huh?”

Subaru:  “I’ve been sayin’ that since I had a umbilical cord…” The tension dropped between father and son as they bantered about their hardwired genetic situations.

Subaru:  As the diversion ran its course, Subaru returned to “So?” once more and asked, “What was the issue at hand, anyway? After this, I have an important duty to fulfill: sleeping two to three more hours. So if what you want draws a total beeeep, then talk to Mom downstairs, okay?”

Kenichi:  “Don’t brush me off all natural like that. Besides, this talk would just fly over Mom’s head. My wife and your mom is the worst woman at guessing in the whole world. That’s why I can’t let her out of my sight, but…” The natural way he tossed out fond phrases bored Subaru, his adolescent son, to tears.

Kenichi:  When Subaru hung his head, Kenichi went “Hmm,” then twisted his neck a bit and smiled mischievously as he said, “Well, it happens to be nice weather out—how ’bout we dress up and have a little father-son talk outside?”
