Loading... please wait.

I woke up feeling fantastic.

"Huaam..."

I yawned, as I recollected what happened yesterday.

Ahhhhhh....

I then stood up and made my bed.

As I was cleaning up, I noticed something different.

Eh?

"Where's Saike?"

I asked myself.

His bed, that would usually be untidy, was clean.

Ah right.

He's on a mission.

I remembered what we talked about during breakfast yesterday.

Don't let the stress get to you, idiot.

You did the mission properly. 

That's all that matters

I thought to myself as I slapped both sides of my cheeks.

After tidying up I went outside for breakfast

Come to think about it, It's still pretty early..

I walked towards the kitchen, only to find...

Eh?

There was someone already there.

But they weren't sitting down and eating.

They were cooking.

It was Kanao.

"Eh? Kanao-san?"

I asked her.

Her whole body visibly stiffened up.

She slowly turned to me.

"O-Oh, It's you newbie.."

I sat down on one of the chairs.

And started eating what was on the table.

"AH! Wait!"

She stopped me.

"Eh?"

I looked at her confused.

"Don't touch that, That's off limits."

She told me while pointing at the sausage I was about to eat.

"Ah, Ok?"

I dropped the sausage and ate something else.

Come to think about it, she's also cooking sausages..

I thought as a I looked over.

Holy shit.

That's a lot.

She was cooking a pan full of sausages.

Besides her we're more sausages.

As I was eating, Eiji walked in.

"Good Morning~"

"Ah, Good Morning Eiji-san"

He then glanced at Kanao, and at the sausages.

"Ah! He's coming today!"

Who's coming today?

"Umm, Eiji-san, Can I ask who's coming"

"Ah, Kei Kuroba! One of the higher-ups in the familia!"

Who?

"Higher-up? Why is he coming here then?"

"He's Kanao's dad~"

Kanao jolts up after that, but she continued on cooking.

Dad?

Aren't we all adopted here?

"Dad?"

I asked confused.

This time instead of Eiji, Kanao answered.

"Stop being nosy, you brat"

I was just asking..

It was then I heard loud thuds from the hallways.

"KAAAAANNNNNNAAAAOOO!"

A tall man came running towards us.

He then picks up Kanao spins her around.

"AH! Dad! Calm down!"

"Kanao! Daddy's home!"

The man ignored her and kept on spinning.

"You even made my favorites!"

He said while taking a glance at the mountain of sausages on the table

After about 3 minutes of spinning he stops and puts down the now dizzy Kanao.

He then sits down in front of me.

The lovely dad from earlier was now gone.

What remained was...

S-Scary..

His eyes pierced right through me.

It felt suffocating.

"A-Ah!"

Shit!

It was then, Kanao's fist came crashing towards his head.

"Dad!"

Then he finally stopped.

I looked down trying to catch my breath.

After I settled down for a bit, I sat back up.

What greeted me was the same man, but this time he was smiling.

"Now Kaito-kun was it? I'm Kei."

He smiled as he put his hand out towards me.
