Sayaka’s Parent’s Point of view

”M-Mama, what should I do? Sayaka, Sayaka ran away from home!!! “

”Oh, it’s because you got angry like that. Even though you already knew. You knew she was drawing comic books.”

”No, because if she’s still drawing them, that means she’s still in touch with him, right? No. Absolutely not.”

”Oh, that Todo, right? It was just half a year ago, as far as I remember. It’s okay. He’s a good-looking guy, and he came in here out of the blue and gave his opinion so openly to Papa, who’s such a tough guy. That’s amazing. Even an adult can’t do that. I mean, how many people in Japan today can do that to Papa? Well, if I were in Sayaka’s shoes, I’d definitely be in love with him. Besides, you know what?　Sayaka probably secretly overheard your and his conversation from the next room, didn’t she?　Even though she’s rather not very expressive, I can tell.”

”W-what?　So that means Sayaka is going to.. No, no, no more! Absolutely not ! ! ! “

”Huhu, why? He is so cool, like Papa. Don’t you remember the past? When you went crazy to get my dad to agree to marry me. I had a flashback.”

”What? He and I are similar? You’ve got to be kidding me! ! ! That Renya Todo, I did a lot of research back then… but there’s no one that stupid and sloppy with women. You won’t find a worse person than him! ! ! ! ! ! 　I won’t accept it ! ! ! If, by any chance, that thing gets into the Saionji family in the future. Everything will collapse ! ! ! Do you really think he’s suitable for Sayaka?!”

”Well, there’s certainly a lot to consider. I’ve met a lot of people in my life, so I’ve always had absolute confidence in my ability to judge people. He didn’t seem like that kind of a boy at that time.”

”How can you be so optimistic ! ! ! You saw it too, Mama. You saw the results of Renya Todo’s investigation ! ! ! Maybe right now, Sayaka is about to be poisoned by that insolent in that man’s house! ! ! What’s the matter with you? You don’t act like a mother! ! ! And you still can’t find Sayaka?! What the heck is she doing ! ! ! “

”Huh, don’t be in such a hurry, Papa. Because we already found her. That’s why I told them to stop looking.”

”What?”

”I’m telling you, Sayaka has already been found, and she’s safe.”

”Where is she?! Where is Sayaka ! ! ! I didn’t expect it to be that guy ! ! !”

”Huh, that’s funny. Papa really is a worrier when it comes to Sayaka. I wonder why she can only express herself so awkwardly in front of us. Anyway, it’s okay. She’s not at that Todo guy’s house. He’s at another friend’s house.”

”Friend?”

”Yeah. Maybe you know about this? You know, it was a hot topic a while ago. There was an incident on the roof of Sayaka’s school, right? The girl who was involved in that incident.”

”Oh, the girl from that time. She is really lucky. I’m sure she’s unharmed, right?　I saw the video on the news, too, especially that guy. That was amazing. There aren’t many guys like that. Huh, at least Sayaka could’ve gotten a guy like that instead of that Todo guy… Well, I won’t admit it, but if you’re going to have feelings for a guy, she got to have an eye for a guy like that. I still don’t approve of it, though.”

”Huhu, yes. I see.”

”W-what is it? Mama. You’re smiling so happily… Why didn’t you tell me where she was when you knew where she was? “

”Because every time you react, it’s so funny.”

”Ugh…”

”Huhu, but it’s okay anyway, Papa. Because Sayaka is my child. Once again, I think she has a top-notch way of looking at people.”
