When Haru and Kyouko entered the hospital, they could see a middle aged man with an unkempt face and lifeless eyes staring at the ceiling.
Haru was quite surprised since he didn't expect Kyouko's father's situation would be this severe. He was wondering how "front-tail dance" from the Penguin was able to traumatize Kyouko's father. He had watched "front-tail dance" before and in his opinion, besides it seemed quite dumb, he didn't feel anything much.
However, Kyouko's father became traumatized and needed to stay in the hospital all the time.
Looking at Kyouko, Haru had to admit that Kyouko was a very strong woman.
Kyouko didn't abandon her father and lived her own life, but continued to work on her best and also took care of her father at the same time.
At this moment, Haru realized how fortunate he was to have this woman.
"Father, are you alright?" Kyouko walked toward her father and held his hand, trying to talk with him. Usually, he wouldn't say anything so she didn't seem surprised when her father only stared at the wall and didn't answer her.
However, at this moment, Kyouko's father turned his head and stared at Haru.
It might be because of Kyouko's father's instict that told him that his daughter would be stolen by this man.
No father loved when their daughter was being stolen by another man and even if Kyouko's father had a mental disease, he didn't want his daughter to be stolen by a bad man.
Being stared at, Haru introduced himself in a polite way since he was facing his father-in-law.
"Nice to meet you, Uncle. My name is Kasugano Haruka. I...."
Haru wanted to say that he was Kyouko's girlfriend, but he felt that it was too irresponsible so in the end, he said, "Uncle, I'll take care of Kyouko from now on and love her dearly."
"Haru!"
Kyouko was surprised since she didn't expect Haru to utter those words so suddenly, however, she didn't expect her father's response.
Kyouko's father didn't say anything, but he bowed his head at Haru.
"Uncle, please don't bow your head. This is something that I must do since she's the girl that I love," Haru said and hurriedly stopped Kyouko's father to bow his head since he felt uncomfortable.
Kyouko's father might have been traumatised by Penguin's front tail, but as a father, he knew that he was a failure since he couldn't give his best to his daughter and even troubled her so what he could do was hoping this young man was able to make his daughter to feel happy for her entire life.
"Father...."
Kyouko was crying when she saw her father's reaction at that moment.
The three of them talked to each other for a while, even if Kyouko's father didn't talk and only sat on the bed, they could tell that Kyouko's father was listening to their story intently.
Unlike before when Kyouko often talked about her problems at work to her father, this time, she told him how happy he was and talked about a lot of things.
But then at this moment, Kyouko's father said something unexpected.
"Grandchildren," Kyouko's father said, but then he didn't say anything afterwards.
"Huh?!" Kyouko was dumbfounded.
Haru nodded and said, "When I graduate, we'll start to have children right away."
"Haru!!!" Kyouko blushed and hit Haru's arms since she was very shy at that moment.
Kyouko's father nodded and seemed satisfied with Haru's answer.
"Father!!!"
Kyouko only realized that she was being teased by her father too. However, she felt warm at that moment.
---
Haru and Kyouko stayed for a few hours before they decided to go out since her father needed to take a break.
"Let's have lunch first," Haru said.
Kyouko nodded and agreed. She also felt a bit hungry and wanted to eat something. "Is there something that you want to eat?" Frankly, after she ate the foods which were made by Haru, she couldn't feel satisfied with normal food. She felt that it was better to go home and cook by herself since he also had taught her how to cook.
Haru thought for a while and suddenly noticed a shop on the corner. "Do you want to try monjayaki?"
"Monjayaki?"
---
Monjayaki was a type of Japanese pan-fried batter, popular in the Kanto region, similar to okonomiyaki, but that used different liquid ingredients.
However, Haru had to admit the shape of this food was quite disgusting and weird, even so, the taste was very good.
"Hmm!! Delicious!" Kyouko said with a smile.
"That's good."
Haru also ate the monjayaki, but then he noticed that someone had stalked him.
"Hmm?"
---
Kiriko knew that her position on Haru's heart would be in danger, especially when she saw how close both Haru and Kyouko were.
Haru had decided to date Kyouko so he wouldn't actively invite Kiriko again since their relationship was only a friend.
It was also the reason why Kiriko hadn't met Haru for a while since she also knew that he needed to take a break after that battle.
Frankly after Kiriko saw that battle, she had to admit that Haru was the strongest pilot of the Daimidaler, especially when she saw how the Daimidaler could expand so big and she also knew that part of him was also very big.
Suddenly Kiriko blushed, and at the same time, she really missed him.
Kiriko was wondering when Haru was going to the school, but when she was walking around the town, she didn't expect to meet him walking together with Kyouko. Her heart was tightened and she felt very uncomfortable, but she decided to follow them.
Kiriko knew that Haru and Kyouko had dated each other, but somehow, it was hard to give up, especially when she thought about the time that she had spent together with him.
---
After eating lunch, Haru and Kyouko decided to go on a date, trying various things. Well, it was quite a cliche date since he was curious about the movie in this world. He had come to this world for a long time, but he didn't watch that many movies, music, manga, etc in this world since he mostly spent his time researching HI-ERO particles, robots, etc.
Haru didn't watch a romance movie, but watched a comedy movie together with Kyouko, laughing together since the movie was very fun.
When the movie ended, Haru was wondering how long that girl was going to follow them, however, he could tell that Kiriko was having a great time watching the movie since that girl was laughing hard.
But then Haru noticed Kyouko who seemed to be in pain. "Is there something wrong with your feet?"
"Huh?" Kyouko was surprised, but then she said, "Well, my shoes are a bit uncomfortable."
"Let's sit on that side first," Haru said and helped Kyouko to sit down before he checked her feet. He saw that there was a blister on her feet which made her suck a deep breath.
"It should be alright, I can hold on until we have reached home," Kyouko said.
Shaking his head, Haru kneeled and showed his back toward Kyouko. "Get on. I'll carry you back."
"Eh?"
"Hurry up."
Kyouko was a bit shy, but she nodded happily. She let him piggyback on her and hugged his neck loosely.
"You seem happy," Haru said with a smile since this woman was very cute.
"Of course," Kyouko said and wanted to kiss him, but she felt too shy at that moment.
"Haru, can we visit that park first?"
"Well, why not?"
Haru started to walk toward the park while talking with Kyouko.
It was a very fun evening, but suddenly someone disturbed their time.
When they were walking down the stairs, suddenly someone shouted Haru's name, telling him to stop.
"Kasugano Haruka, stop for me!"
Haru and Kyouko turned and saw a Penguin riding on the bicycle jump into the stairs before falling to the ground with a lot of blood on his head.
"....."
