Kudou-chan’s surprised.
My Kudou style ancient martial arts.is something I arranged according to my way of living to the end. Michi-kun, shouldn’t Michi-kun think about her own Kudou style?
The father tells his daughter.
.My own?
Yeah.Michi-kun and I are different people. Our birth time is different, and the environment we grew up is different. And above all of it.Michi-kun is a woman. We’re different humans so we think differently. Our way of living should be different Kudou-chan listens to her father seriously.
Then.Michi-kun need to have a different Kudou style martial artsfrom me. The actions humans do represent all of their inside. Try looking.I’m wearing a silly dress and Michi-kun’s wearing a uniform of a prestigious girl’s scool. My clothes are sloppy and Michi-kun’s are firm. Even your hair is combed beautifully and smooth. Michi-kun and I are different in essential sense!
.The father and daughter are different.
.They have to separate beyond the difference.
I thought of you as a kid until now so I’m okay with you imitating me. But.Michi-kun’s already an adult. You have to search your way and live it
.My road? That’s right.Just like how I chose Kouzuki old man as my master.Michi-kun chose her own lord, right?
Kudou-chan.looks down and answers.
Yes.I think Misuzu-sama will be my lifetime master!
Kudou papa laughs.
Then.we might become enemies someday you know?
Kudou-chan.
Yes.father
KouzukiKakka.and Misuzu might confront?
The two of them are already thinking of that possibility?
Father.please stop calling me Michi-kunalready
Kudou-chan tells her father.
I won’t be father’s Discipleanymore!
Then.you should stop calling me fathertoo
The father.smiles lonely.
.But.
No.father is father. No matter what happens.father is my father!
Kudou-chan replies.
Kukuku.you’re really serious. You’re like Etsuko in that regard
Kudou papa talks about his wife’s name.
.Father, Mama-uesama!
.Oops, that’s not something you have to say, Michi!
The father interrupts his daughter’s words.
.Do you know?
Kudou papa doesn’t answer.
After a short pause.he speak up.
Papa’s last advice.Michi, look for your own family!
.Family
Loveris fun.but, they won’t last long. Lovewill definitely end. No matter how cute your feelings are, it’ll get old, worse, and rot someday
Love.will end.
But.Familywon’t end. No matter how much time has passed.thedeadfamily isfamily In exchange, you can’t escape.once you become afamily, that bond will be forever. You can’t just quit from being a family Family.doesn’t stop.
.I had a relationship with Etsuko since elementary school. We did various bad plays together.from bad friends, became lovers, then got married. I thought that she’s my familybut it seems that I’m different for her. Therefore, if the loveends.I’m just a fired employee. You can’t do anything about that.
Loveand family.
But.but still, she’sfamilyfor me. I will take care of her for the rest of my life.even if she separates from me
.Father
Kudou-chan mutters.
.I’ll settle it with that Yamaoka bastard without fail. He made fun of my Kudou style But, I’ll kick the asses of those who underestimate me! That’s the way I lived!
I speak up.
.Kudou-chan, be my family!
.Kudou-chan’s surprised.
.Yoshida-sama?
I.Misuzu, Megu, Mana.Minaho-neesan, Katsuko-neesan, Nagisa, Nei-san, and even Margo-san.I’ve decided to make them my family Those people are important to me like family
I look straight at Kudou-chan.
Therefore.I want Kudou-chan to be Misuzu and my family Not just as Misuzu’s vassal.but a member of ourfamily
.Kudou-chan.
Please let me think for a while about that offer
Kudou papa laughs then speaks to Minaho-neesan.
That’s nice, young people are really direct at anything. Don’t you think so.Kuromori-san?
Minaho-neesan ignores Kudou papa then looks at Kudou-chan.
It’s about time.we arrive at the house Go and observe our familyas you want. And if Kudou-san liked it.then join ourfamily1 Nobody will force you!
As ourhead.Minaho-neesan told Kudou-chan.
Yes.I will take a look
Kudou-chan replies seriously.
Hmm.it’s about time
We can see our school beyond the windshield.
Kudou-san.it’s okay to let us off here. Thank you very much
.Yeah
Kudou papa stopped the car.
The van with Kudou detective agencyalso stops.
.As expected, you won’t invite me to your castle
Kudou papa snorts.
Yes. We don’t let men inside our castle!
Minaho-neesan answers.
.Hey hey, what about this boy?
To that question, Minaho-neesan.
Yoshida-kun’s our preciousfamilyso he’s an exception
Kudou papa smiles wryly.
Well, that’s fine.I’ll entrust Michi to you. She’s a bit hardheaded but I think she’s a good woman!
Yes.I’ll take care of her
Kudou papa opens the driver seat door then goes out.
We’ll continue to watch outside the school site tonight.we’ll be intercepting the soldiers of Cesario Viola and Shirasaka family by ourselves!
.I will leave it to you. I do trust Kudou-san
Minaho-neesan laughs then tells Kudou papa.
.Stop with the flattery. I’m weak to those
Saying that, he closed the door
Then he heads back to his van without looking back.
.Father
Kudou-chan leaks her voice while looking at her father’s back from inside the car.
Just now.the father has let go of his daughter. The daughter has to be independent from now on. .To find her newfamily
Tony, open it already! We’ll be camping in this car tonight!
Eh, please spare me from that.boss! How’s Noma? .It’s already passed working hours so I think she’s going back home Call her back.we’ll be monitoring here until morning! Eh? Seriously? Stop complaining.go to the convenience store and buy some milk and bean jam bun! No.let’s buy something more delicious, boss? Shut up shut up shut up! It’s obvious that it’s milk and bean jam bun when you’re camping!
While listening to those voices.
Minaho-neesan goes to the driver seat.
.Let’s go
Kudou-chan nods.
Our car begins to run. Kudou papa’s figure gradually goes smaller.
Father has told me to find my ownKudou style.
Kudou-chan’s lonely.
I have no idea what I should do. Since childhood.I’ve believed father’s teachings, that’s how I lived so far.
.I
But still.looking at Kudou-chan’s father’s way.Have you ever thought Even though we can fix this?
Kudou-chan’s startled when I asked her.
How about changing it from those points first?
Kudou-chan nods.
There’s something I’ve always thought
The light returns in Kudou-chan’s eyes.
Father.shouts the name of the skills his enemy craft.but that has the risk of biting his tongue. Therefore.how about shouting the name of the skill after the enemy has done the technique.
.Kudou-chan.
Is it absolute that you have to shout the name of the technique?
yeah.isn’t that great? Changing those kind of things.I think it’ll say that Kudou-chan’s original Kudou Style
But still.I think that’ll be her first step.
That’s why.I affirm it. I have to push her back. And maybe, someday she’ll stop shouting the name of techniques her enemy does. That would really help out a lot
.Yoshida-sama, I’ve got a request
Kudou-chan looks at me.
.what?
Please call meMichi2from now on
She said bashfully.
.Michi-kun?
A replacement of her father?
No, not Michi-kun.I want Yoshida-sama to call me only Michi
Her big eyes look up at me.
Father’s the only one who can call me Michi-kun
.Is that so?
As expected, she’s lonely. About parting with her father.
