The next morning, she saw her mother greeted her with a wide smile, while her father is hiding his face between his hands.

"Morning," She greeted them as she took a seat. "Is there something wrong with Tou-san, Kaa-san?"

"Just ignore him, sweetheart," Said her mother instead of answering her question. "Here, I made your favorite."

"Ah, thank you."

"Nami-chan," She heard her name from her father. And when she turned her head to him, she saw him staring at her with a serious face of him. "Can I bring you to school and pick you up?"

And before she can reply him, her mother cutting her. "Sorry, love," Said her mother with a sweetest voice. "It will be me the one who will bring her to school."

He narrowed his eyes. "Fine," He finally relented. "But it will be me the one who picked her up."

Tsubame throw her hair over her shoulder, and giving him a smirk. "Deal."

She can't help but glanced between them.

Just what's wrong with them?


At the gate of school, she found all of her three friends were standing in there, along with their bags. It seems the three of them hasn't entered the school yet.

"Morning," She greeted them with a smile.

Seeing his Partner making him smiled in return. "Yo," He greeted her. Then he saw an older brown haired woman behind her. He make a double-checked between them. Huh, they looks alike. Except the eyes. Where his Partner has soft, brown eyes, while this woman has black eyes. "Is that your mother, Partner?"

After exchanging 'morning' to the other girls, both Chie and Yukiko belatedly realizing that there's an older woman behind their Leader.

"Yes," She nodded at him. "Everyone, please meet my mother, Kato Tsubame. Kaa-san, they're my friends; Yosuke, Chie-chan, and Yukiko-chan."

"Hello," said a short, black haired girl with red headband. Her smile looks delicate like a princess. "My name is Amagi Yukiko. It's nice to meet you, Kato-san."

"Nice to meet you, Kato-san!" Greeted a short, brown haired girl with green jacket. Her grin looks menacing. Like a predator. Huh, 'strong' indeed. "I'm Satonaka Chie."

"Hanamura Yosuke," said the last one, a brown haired boy with orange headphone. "It's nice to meet you, Kato-san." He said with an easy-going smile. No wonder her daughter called him 'fun'.

"It's nice to meet you, too," She said with a beaming smile. She hopes her smile isn't that big. She didn't want to scaring her daughter's friends and her (future, she hopes) son-in-law. "Please take care of my daughter," She's trying to not staring really long at the boy. No need to scaring the (future) son-in-law this sooner. Hoho. "And ah, before I can go, you should be careful around her father, okay?" Alright, she might pointed the last one to the boy. Let's hoping the boy's not aware. Hoho.

"Well then, see you in dinner, sweetheart."

"Bye, Kaa-san."

From the distance, she can hear the exchanging words between them.

"Your mother is weird ."

"I know."


"Do you think the others will be like us?" asked Chie the moment they took a seat under the same sakura tree like yesterday.

"I think so," said Yukiko as she and the others began opening the bento that has prepared by their family before. "I mean, Yuu-kun is here, Yosuke-kun and Chie is here, too. So, there's a high possibility the others will be here as well."

"Then, the only thing we can do is waiting, right?" Yosuke suggested after the first bite and chowed them down.

"Oh, oh! Or maybe they will be older than us!" Yukiko squealed at the possibility. "Ne, ne, do you think Naoto-kun will looks bigger than the last time? Or, or, Kanji-kun will looks smaller than before? Oh, there's a lot of endless possibilities! Snnrk!"

The three of them sweatdropped at the sight of the black haired girl.

"She probably imagining what they looks like..." Chie said, somehow also ended with imagining their new looks. She winced and shook her head in attempt to clearing her head.

"Well, they were a year younger than us," Except Teddie. No one knows his true age, not even Teddie himself. "Perhaps, if they truly like us in here, they might the same as before, or perhaps more younger, or older than us."

"So, waiting?"

The Leader of Investigating Team nodded. "Yes. And also hearing about their presences. Even if it's only a rumor." Because it was all started with rumor before.

"Got it." Said the three of them at the same time with different expression; Yosuke is winking, Chie is grinning, and Yukiko is smiling.


After the school is done, now the four of them are waiting for their parents to pick them up.

"Do we really need to repeat the school?" Complained the only male in the group. "I know it's only the second day, but damn, this is boring."

The girls sighed in agreeing with him.

"Sadly, Japan's education didn't have a rule about skipping class like in the States." said the once male. "It seems we are stuck in here." She patted the brown haired boy in consoling manner.

"Well, at least we knew about the materials about our education, right Chie?" She throw a smile towards her best friend.

"Uhh, I'm pretty confident about my skill if it's up to elementary, but the middle school and high school? Uhh, I think I've forgot some of them..."

"How about a study group?" She suggested. "At least it will engaging our mind for awhile."

"Agreed." answered Yukiko instantly.

Both the brown haired boy and girl staring at each other before finally nodding. "Sure," said both of them with a shrug.

Then, they find a familiar figure in front of them.

"Oh, looks like my dad has picking me up." She said once seeing her father.

"Me, too." Said Yosuke as he nodded towards a brown haired older male not far from her father.

"Eh, you guys, too?" Chie blinking in surprise. "Because our parents are here, too." She said, pointing at the two older women with brown haired woman and black haired woman respectively.

"Snnrk!" Yukiko began laughing. "Do you think it's a Fate's work for our parents came at the same time? Snnrk!"

The three of them sweatdropped for the second time.


He found his baby girl seated along with three children. A brown haired boy, a brown haired girl and a black haired girl.

Hiroto narrowed his eyes at the boy. From how his cute baby girl described her new friends, they probably are 'Yosuke', 'Chie-chan' is the green jacket wearing one, while the red headband is 'Yukiko-chan'. And from the corner of his eyes, he also noticing a great similarity between the adults beside him with the three children beside his daughter.

"Nami-chan," He greeted her as soon as he entered her hearing range. "I'm sorry, it took me awhile to pick you."

His sweet baby girl shook his head with a small smile. "It's alright, Tou-san. At least you came."

Somehow, the three beside her wincing at her words. Hmm, is his baby girl expecting him to not pick her up? Did she thinking that he chose his job, not his daughter? Hmm, it's look like he need to cleared this up.

"Sweetheart, please know this, I'll chose you over my job and everything, alright?"

Nanami stare at him long and hard before finally slowly nodding at him. "Thank you, Tou-san."

He smiled in respond.

"Tou-san," He felt his pants being tugged off. "Please meet my friends."

"Alright, let's meet them."

"This is Yosuke," He twitched at the mention of the boy's name. Nope. Nu-uh. He isn't jealous. "This is Chie-chan and Yukiko-chan," At the mention of the girls' name, he smiled. "And this is my father, Kato Hiroto."

They give him 'nice to meet you, Kato-san', then it's the turn for them to introducing their respective parents.

"Guys, please meet my dad, Hanamura Yamato. Tou-san, they are... Nanami, Chie-chan, and Yukiko-chan."

For the second time, he narrowed his eyes when the boy paused at his cute baby girl's name. Seeing the looks were given by the parents as well, it means it's not only him the one who noticing it.

"This is my mom, Satonaka Emi. Kaa-chan, they are my friends... Nanami-chan, Yosuke-kun, and you've met Yukiko yesterday."

...That's the second time he heard someone paused over his baby girl's name. If it was him and his wife or their family members when they stumbled upon saying her preferred nickname, he can understand. But, they didn't know about that? So, how?

"Kaa-chan, they're my friends, um, Nanami-chan, Yosuke-kun, and you have met Chie yesterday," Another paused from saying his daughter's name. This is the third time. "Everyone, please meet my mother, Amagi Umeko."

If they always paused his daughter's name, just with what they called his daughter? He gasped slightly. Don't tell him—did this three has bullied his daughter and calling her with different name?!

"It's a pleasure to meet you all," He said with a business smile, all polite with a little bit of sharp. "But we need to be home as soon as possible. You see, my wife has prepared a special dinner for us."

The women chuckled while the man smiled.

"Sweetheart, why you don't say a goodbye to your friends ?"

From the way his daughter giving him a slightly narrowed eyes, he gulped. Shit, he forgot how perceptive his daughter is.

"Of course, Tou-san," Then, she smiled at the three. "See you tomorrow."

"See you!"


"Alright, boy. Mind telling me why you hesitated saying one of your friend's name?" asked Yamato on their way to home.

His son frowned while he waited patiently. "...I called her with different name."

He counted to ten before asking his next question. "And that name is...?" He really, really, hope that his son (and other two girls) isn't calling her with something derogatory.

"Sorry, Tou-san," His son says. "It's not my place to tell you." Yosuke said with an apologetic, yet sad smile at him.

Sometimes, seeing a mature and older side of his son is still a surprise for him.

"I know what you think," continued his son without knowing his inner turmoil. "That we might bullying her, right?" He shook his head with a sad smile. "We aren't bullying her, Tou-san. Please remember that."

"...Alright," He finally says. "Alright. I'll trust you. And if I heard and seeing you bullying her and other children, you'll know there will be a punishment, right?"

"Yes," His son nodded. "I know, Tou-san," He's still displaying his sad, sad, smile. "Thank you, Tou-san. For trusting me."

For not asking more question.

Yamato let out a small smile. "Of course."

Isn't that a father job to trusting his own child?
