全てを失った（？）父を前に困惑しつつも、距離のあった親子関係に少しずつ変化が？？？
お父さんがお母さんで息子がお父さんに？いやいや親友がお義父さんで、お父さんが親友に…？
Dialogue in this work

- Man, it's been so hot every day.
- When I was a kid, it never got this hot.
- Yeah, I figured.
- That's right.
- And yet, I can't even afford an air conditioner. It's frustrating...
- It's okay, I can just take a cold bath.
- Really? Sorry for the inconvenience.
- Actually, it's kind of nice not having you act all high and mighty.

- Whoa... that was fast, Tatsuya.
- Hey!! What are you doing?
- Oh... sorry, it's pretty lazy for someone my age.
- No, that's not what I meant... sweat.
- I can see it!!
- See what?
- Then what do you mean?
- Ah, so you're trying to cool down with a ghost story.
- No... well, just hurry up and get in!!

- The father went out for a modeling job to buy an air conditioner.
- I'm so glad you accepted the job!
- Did something change your mind?
- Well, it's not so much a change of heart...
- It's just that our finances are tight.
- I want to create a comfortable environment for my son to study.
- I see, well, in that case, we can offer a bit more payment.
- What...? Really?

- Sure, Hojo-san, could you smile a bit more?
- Well... it's hard to smile in this outfit.
- I mean, who would be happy with this?
- It's trending online as 'a mysterious beauty appears'!
- A beauty?
- Just smile! Don't you want the money?
- Grr...

- There was a summer festival near the house, and it was the first time I went with my dad.
- Wow, it's pretty lively here.
- I never thought you'd want to come.
- Haha, true.
- You used to say it was just noise and make fun of it.
- I really did think that.
- But after losing my job, time seems to flow differently.
- I've started to notice the smaller things around me.

- Hehe...
- I used to think only the best ingredients made by top chefs could taste good.
- But surprisingly, it tastes good.
- Here, you try some too.
- Huh...? Wait, what? Well...
- Oh... okay.
- Seriously...? You used to say it would ruin your palate and never bought it.

- With the money Dad earned, we got an air conditioner installed.
- Whoa... where did you get that kind of money?
- Heh, well! That's the power of being a dad for you!
- Hmm...? Well, let's just say I had my ways!
- Could you really manage that on just a convenience store salary?
- I found a new business opportunity.
- What do you mean by that?
- Let's not get into the details.
- That's a pretty suggestive way to put it...

- Is that... is that Dad on the cover of Nyanpion...?
- No way!
- Turns out Dad made his debut in a magazine without us knowing.

- He was standing in front of the store in some strange outfit.
- Ugh... I heard there was a Halloween event, but there's already a huge line...
- Damn it!! Should've skipped school to come here!
- No, you definitely shouldn't have.
- You idiot! This area is a convenience store battleground.
- The headquarters is working hard to secure a competitive edge.
- Isn't this convenience store always a bit too free-spirited?
- Still, making Tatsunobu-san dress like that, Okura from HQ is as ruthless as ever...!
- You sure know a lot about the internal affairs.

- Oh, Tatsuya, it's rare to see you here.
- Whoa! Dad!? What's with that outfit!
- Oops... I usually avoid coming in when Dad's around.
- Your friend Yuki-kun did quite a bit of shopping too.
- There's this weird campaign where if you spend over 10,000 yen, you get to cover part of my skin.
- I guess it was quite an eyesore, huh (chuckles).
- I see... so that's why you treated me to lunch yesterday.
- That was part of the campaign!?
- No, he probably just didn't want others to see him, LOL.
- ? What's that supposed to mean?
- It's nothing.

- With midterms approaching, I was studying late and ended up waking Dad.
- Hey Tatsuya, turn on the light or you'll ruin your eyes.
- But I can't sleep with the light on.
- Doesn't matter. No parent should hinder their child's growth.
- Well, I got good grades without studying at home.
- Huh...?
- Yeah, yeah... sorry I didn't inherit those specs.
- It doesn't matter. Exam prep is all about technique and habits.

- The material you need to learn is limited to your target university, so focus on that and don't memorize unnecessary stuff.
- Is it really okay to have such a negative approach?
- I always went to the library to study business after school.
- It's fine. Exams are just a stepping stone.
- What kind of high schooler were you... You're something else...
- Get it done efficiently and spend your time on what lies ahead.
- Once you know the range, identify your weak and strong areas—
- My total test score didn't change much, but my prospects for my desired school improved.
Page 13
- I've been worried about my exams, so I decided to talk to Dad about my future plans.
- The reason I chose my university?
- Well, there was an economist I admired at Teio University.
- I wanted to study under him, you know?
- Haha! If you're going to study, you should choose based on what you want to learn.
- Wait, didn't you choose based on the university's ranking or name?
- W-well, yeah, there's that too.
- I thought you'd care more about reputation and stuff.
Page 14
- I got into Tokyo University too... I did think about it for a bit.
- But in the end, I chose Teio.
- What!? You turned down Tokyo University!?
- But once I got in, I didn't get along with that professor at all, haha.
- Well, that's how it went.
- In the end, I didn't even join his lab... Looking back, maybe Tokyo University would've been better.
- Seriously? That's wild~
- Well, you never know how things will turn out.
- Horse? Uh... okay, I get it.
- It's funny that someone like you is doing weird cosplay at a convenience store...
- It wasn't much help, but I think I'll research universities a bit more.
Page 15
- Dad was looking at job listings online.
- No, I was just thinking of doing another job when I'm not on shift.
- Huh... are you quitting the convenience store?
- Won't working that much be bad for your health?
- Haha! I used to work even more than this before.
- True, I guess that's right.
- Should I get a part-time job and help out at home too?
Page 16
- What are you saying? There's no need for that.
- If I can't take care of my own son, what kind of father would I be?
- Tatsuya, focus on what you want to achieve.
- It's a parent's job to create an environment where you can do that.
- D-Dad...
- I mean, you've really changed, haven't you?
