Hey. I’m not into public introductions, it feels like AA or something. Name’s Rudolf Ushiromiya, just got a few questions here for the rest of you.

Anyone know how exactly they decide where you go? It’s like a horoscope, right? Personalities and all that. So what’s the formula, if you want specifics, it’d be Baldr. If you don’t like how they judged you, who do you talk to about getting a switch? I don’t like the idea of somebody just assuming who I am.

Oh yeah, and what kind of jobs are up for grabs, or businesses that might be needed. This suite doesn’t really suit my tastes. …And I guess I’m gonna have to buy cigarettes.

Mr.Ushiromiya. Um, pardon me but are you related to Battler and Ange?

They're different kind of jobs available, I guess. Gai's working as a bartender and I know others work in the hospital too.

Sorry you got dragged into this. I really am.

Hey, it's not like you've got anything to do with it, right? It's not a big deal, I just don't see what they'd want with some old man when it looks like everyone else's so young.

[Oh, hey wait]

Battler and Ange? Yeah, they're my kids...don't tell me they got dragged here, Ange's just a kid!!

No, I don't. They want us to talk with each other...Did you hear about restoring color to the world?

Our emotions are fuel. Age won't matter to them. They're here right now, but don't worry. They're safe.

I can reassure you with that.

Battler's helped me out a bunch of times in the past and...Ange's older than me. I'm seventeen.

I think Ange's bodyguard is around here too still. She's fine.

Yeah, see, that's just the thing, what've I got to offer to a bunch of kids, I can't even get my own son to talk to me.

...Hey wait, did you say Ange's older than you? She's six. Battler would have to be almost as old as me! ...I'd be nearly as old as my old man!

What?

I know I'm...probably prying, but did something happen between you and Battler? He has a big mouth and doesn't always know what he's talking about.

Mhm. Definitely older.

What do you mean by six?

Nothing really makes sense.

As in six-years-old, a little kid, Battler's twelve years older than her! So you're telling me that's not the case and she's an adult? I dunno...

Right, and Battler...yeah, he's kind of pissed off at me. His mom died and I remarried, so he got angry and ran off to his grandparents. We're good now, but it's awkward, I don't really know how to deal with him. He sure doesn't know what he's talking about half the time, but, well.

Yeah. She's more than adult than I could ever be.

I'm sorry to hear about that. He might need time. You shouldn't blame yourself for anything. I mean.

My mother died shortly after I was born and Haruka, my step mother married my father before his funeral.

It seems to be a normal thing, at least.

Heh, you should tell him that. Some of us aren't cut out to be a single parent, and women put a whole heap of pressure on you about it.

[also maybe your mistress is already pregnant and Battler is somewhat justified...
shhh]

There's no way I could. I'm not someone who can tell him what to do. Battler's confident and...there's no way he'd listen to me.

It's a lot tougher on your own, isn't it?

Haruka only comes home once a week and she's always working hard. Maybe it'd be easier for her if she had someone to help split the load. At least that's what I'd like to think.

Everything's better with some help, right? Doesn't really matter what it is.

...Is she the only one looking after you now? At home, I mean.

But you've got Battler pegged right, he won't listen to anybody once his mind's made up.

You have a point. Someone I know could take that advice. She never accepts help from anyone.

[It's because Ayase's in a wheelchair and she doesn't want anyone to pity her. Doesn't make it easy to watch though.]

Until recently that's how things were. Now Inori's looking after me as well. Uh. She's my girlfriend from home.

I thought as much. He's so confident in everything he does and doesn't slow down to think about what's going on around him.

Being taken care of by your girlfriend already, huh? That's not so bad. But the stepmother's the only parent? Must be pretty awkward.

[If that were Kyrie and Battler...lmao]

That's what makes him a dumbass, there's a good reason if he'd just wait a minute and listen. But he always goes running headlong into things anyway. [He shrugs] Guess I was probably like that too, just part of being a teenager, though some are smarter than others. Your friend's probably along the same line.

She said taking care of me makes her happy, so it's okay. To be honest, it is kind of awkward but I'm not against it. Having Haruka around is more fun than being alone.

[That can only end well.]

It makes him look foolish and it surprised me at first. Ange is completely different from him. Calm and cool headed.

You realized that was wrong, eventually. Looks that way.

It's good you guys can get along without having the common link around. Battler's the same as you in that, at least. He could stand to learn more, though. Subtly drill it in for me, will ya?

Eeh, maybe not entirely. It's one thing to be able to say it, but doing it's different...

What about Battler? Is he really that hard headed?

I'll try my best.

So then it is true how they say words are cheap.

Oh, for sure, he's a total numbskull! The only thing to be said for him is he does get along with his stepmother. Kinda weird how you guys are just the same, but completely different.

It sure is, you can see the error of your ways, but that doesn't mean you're gonna fix it.

I thought so. In that regard, we may be similar, but we're totally different too.

I'll pass on being a pervert. Why does he take pride in that?

[Cries. Your son, why. Rudolf. Why?]

Oh. So it's something like that? What if you know the problem and don't know how to fix it?

Uh...about that...might sorta be my fault there. Kids learn by example.

[Because like father. like son...]

Well yeah, sometimes you don't know how or just plain can't, others you don't have a reason to want to. ...Or happen to fall back into it anyway. You probably don't want to take my advice on fixing it, hasn't worked yet.

I wouldn't have expected that answer from you.

Um.

Sorry I asked. Haruka said that too. About children. That's why she always tells me to be polite to girls. It was hard for me to get out of the habit.

[Sobbing.]

Not being able to do it...can become a problem. You can keep trying, I guess. Until it works. That is.

You can be polite to girls and still be a pervert or whatever else you want to call it. It just takes a little tact. Something Battler probably doesn't have.

[The Ushiromiyas can help you with that...]

The problem there is you have to set the mistakes you already made straight, that can take a lot.

He might want to ask someone to help him out on that, I guess.

[Definitely not.]

Its hard when you're not even sure of what you did wrong in the first place.

Good thing he's got friends like you to teach him how to behave, right?

Are you saying there's something up with you?

[A firm nod.]

Ange can help too. She's strong.

Something up? What do you mean?

[He doesn't understandddd. It sucks being on the dense side.]

Ah, you just make it sound like you've got something in mind that's happening with you.

[Oh look, even more in common with Battler!]

Something going on?

Like what?

[It's true.

You'll have to explain more Rudolf.]
