Are you doin’ something with Yukako?
...It's pretty safe to assume. But she hasn't mentioned it, so I'm getting a little nervous it'll be something...out there.

I was joking.
...Joking about...me asking you on a date or about being in a relationship?
If you want. I doubt it’s gonna change anything to be honest.
Even if it won't, it wouldn't be right of me to just not try. I'll do my best.
...This Valentine's mess is too complicated... it's easier studying for a college entrance exam than dealing with all of this.

A better question: why aren’t you?
I'm in a relationship, Mr. Kishibe. ...Come to think of it, I thought you were too...

[GROAN.] Don’t remind me…
...Jeez. ...Should I say something to him?
...Why are all those people asking Mr.Kishibe to be their Valentine...?
A few things I didn’t expect but above all, Tomoyo’s the greatest.
[He glanced at the sleeping infant as he spoke, leaning down before carefully scooping her up and walking towards the smaller male.]
Don’t be shy Koichi, I’m sure she’ll like you. I didn’t consider myself good with babies either but she’s a special case.
I...I see.
[Koichi couldn't help but wonder what Yukako would say if Koichi remarked that their child was the best-- if they had one. ...He was fairly certain he would have to say that he loved Yukako and their child equally if he didn't want to evoke some sort of hellish wrath.]
O-Oh, I'm not sure. I mean, I could do something horribly wrong. What if she cries? What if she spits up on me? ...What if Yukako can smell the scent of a child and decides that I'm an ideal father, and since Josuko had a child while in school, we can too--
It’s fine. Truthfully, I expect you to react that way— especially since Higashikata and I are like cats and dogs.
But whatever the case, this happened and I really don’t regret it. I ended up receiving something from it after all.
[Once in inside he moved closer to the crib, a faint smile spreading on his lips. Goodness, she was so perfect. Everything was perfect in this room of course, but her more so than anything else.]
You know Koichi, if you want to hold her— you’re free to.
...You received a few things, right? Y-You know...a wife, a child, and ultimately a family. That's a lot of things to be thankful for, I think.
[Maybe with a little continued positive reinforcement, Rohan and Josuko wouldn't end up murdering each other. ...Whoa! He was smiling! A normal person smile! Really incredible.]
Oh-- I dunno, Mr. Kishibe...I don't think I'm too good with babies...I mean, I don't have any experience...
—What?! Of course not Koichi!
[Just the thought of that, did Rohan really look like the type to go after a lonely single woman?! He seemed a bit upset that Koichi jumped to that conclusion, however he calmed down in seconds. Maybe he should just be out with it. After all, it was Koichi.]
……. She’s my mother-in-law.
[A quick cough covered by his fist and he changed the topic. Enough about his wife and her family. Once Koichi was inside he made his way to the infant’s room, motioning for Koichi to follow.]
Anyways, ignore the stray clothes everywhere. A certain idiot keeps ignoring my real about cleanliness.
— Hm. You might have a point there. That time in the hospital was… less than pleasant.
...Mother-in-la--
[...Josuko? ...Right. Josuko. ...He kind of completely forgot about Josuko. After all, he was so used to his own Josuke. ...But could Rohan really have married Josuko? ...That relationship sounded like a couple of house fires and fist fights waiting to happen.]
S-Sorry! I got a little confused!
[...At least it wasn't Mrs. Higashikata. Koichi followed quietly, trying not to comment on his insults about Josuko. He was sure even the occasional 'Oh, Mr. Kishibe...she's not so bad...' wouldn't change anything. Koichi carefully peered into the crib. ..Nothing strange at all about the baby. In fact...she was pretty cute.]
She's so tiny...
[ He commented. ...Though he supposed he wasn't one to talk.]
[He seemed oblivious to Koichi’s reactions— too focused on getting home. Although he had made sure not to go anywhere far, he was still worried about leaving his child at home— even if he did have a baby monitor with him. Just make sure not to tell Josuko, you’ll be good Rohan.]
Thank you Koichi, but that’s not necessary. Anyways, I doubt you want to meet her— she’s a bother and you’ve already met her so there’s no need to meet her twice.
[Once home, Rohan opened the door to his home— motioning for Koichi to go in first.]
Two days old. Fortunately she doesn’t cry a lot but she does sleep a lot which makes me wonder if she’s going to end up as lazy as her mother.
[A single woman in Morioh. ...That he'd met. ...Huh. Who could it-- ...Oh no. Oh GOD no.]
...I-...Mr. Kishibe...y...you aren't married to Mrs. Tomoko Higashikata, are you? That's... Oh--....
[God, please let him be wrong. ...He was sure shit talking his wife a lot. But regardless, Koichi slipped in the house. ...It sure seemed a lot messier than he remembered. ...Whoever his wife was liked to leave her underwear and socks strewn about the house.]
Ah...she's...probably just really worn out. I would imagine being born would be stressful.
A girlfriend? Not exactly. I do have a wife however— ah, did I forget to mention?! I’ve been married for a few months now Koichi! And to a, I suppose, decent woman. Although she’s just barely decent.— Slightly.
The child thing might seem sudden but that’s only because it was accidental.
[He proceeds to walk as he explains what has been going on in his life. Truthfully, he’s excited to show off his child to Koichi.]
[How did a woman manage to marry such an unusual man? ...And why did he bother to marry anyone while his basis of judgement was so...strict? ...And he was actually interested in women?!]
...A....wife...Mr.Kishibe...you never told me you had a romantic interest in anyone! C...Congratulations! ...Will I get to meet her?!
[Somehow, he doubted her existence....but followed along at Rohan's side.]
..So...how old is your daughter now?
It’s exactly like I said. A daughter.
Now I know what you’re thinking— how could the great Kishibe Rohan have a child at such an early stage in his life? Well Koichi, sometimes horrible mistakes are actually blessings in disguise and my child is certainly proof of that.
— Enough talking now, let’s get going.
...B--...Mister Kishibe-- ...Did you find a girlfriend or something? This whole child thing seems so sudden.
[Okay. He's curious. No harm in visiting for a little while right?]
Ah, Koichi! Just the person I was looking for!
[Nope. Not so fast Koichi. He speeds up a little before reaching the other, patting his shoulder.]
I intended to call you later but since we’ve already bumped into each other I might as well invite you over to see my daughter.
[...Darn. ...Goodbye freedom.]
...Mister Kishibe-- ...A daughter?! H-Huh?! What do you mean?! Where'd you-- when-- ....What?!
heavensmangaka started following you
[Walk quickly, Koichi. WALK VERY FAST AWAY.]
Well I…
[Oh no. Her boo is here. Immediately her cheeks become flushed as she gradually takes a more sheepish stance.]
I missed you Koichi.
...H...haha. I missed you too, Yukako. Are you alright? You seem quiet.
It’s nothin’ big! Just carrying stuff mainly. I’m in charge of movin’ all the heavy things at this factory. A cafe job sounds nice but I don’t think it’s for me. Thanks though.
Anyways, it’s good to hear you’re getting the ball rollin’ faster with school stuff. You and Yukako planning on goin’ to a university after high school?
I-- I guess as long as you enjoy it, it's good, right?
...H-Ha...ha...uh--Yukako...told me we were going to school...
