This is one of the few chapters I researched for, so I hope you like it!
Kioshii was asleep when Natsumi got home, and Aki had been told to take a sick day or two, after telling her boss that she was having a 'family crisis'.
Natsumi took over watching Kioshii for awhile, and Giroro cleaned weapons for a while before going inside to keep an eye on Kioshii. Aki was sitting on the couch, but eventually stood up and announced that she would be making dinner for once. As she walked toward the kitchen, however, she tripped over a photo album. Soon, she was multi-tasking; looking at pictures and cooking. She flipped some pages and came across one of Haru Hinata, her husband. (yes, that is his name.)
"Maybe I should call Haru. You'd think he'd want to know he's a grandpa…" she speculated aloud.
"Who?" Giroro asked. (I'm assuming that they haven't met)
"Dad? He doesn't even know about the frogs, does he! So how are you supposed to explain this?" Natsumi asked.
"Wait. Your father is still alive?" Giroro asked.
"Of course! He's been traveling for a few years, researching the occult for a paper he's going to write!" Natsumi said. (I made that up. He has been traveling, it's just never explained why.)
"Why wasn't I informed?" Giroro asked.
"You didn't ask," Natsumi reminded him.
"Stop it, you two! Anyway, I think I might call him and tell him to come home. There are some things we should probably explain to him… Besides, you kids see even less of your dad than you do of your mom, and that's saying something!" Aki said. She picked up a phone. "Natsumi, finish dinner!" she called over her shoulder. Sighing, she handed Kioshii to Giroro and walked into the kitchen. A few minutes later, Aki came back into the room.
"He said he could be here tomorrow. He's in China right now, so the flight will only take a few hours, but he can't get a flight until early tomorrow morning. He'll be here around seven or eight. And you don't have school, so you'll be home," Aki said.
"Great! I miss dad! It'll be good to see him!" Natsumi exclaimed. At the dinner table, the news was passed on to Fuyuki and Keroro, and the frogs were warned not to come out until they were told.
Kioshii was silent that night, and everyone in the house slept better for it.
