<One more week later. Inside ES, near the entrance to NewDi’s office.>

 

Kohaku: -Are ya fuckin’ with me!?

 

Hey, get that guy ta come out here! Mikejima Madara! I know yer in here somewhere!

 

Argh, I’m pissed off! I thought I had gotten used ta that guy havin’ a screw loose, but this time I’ve really lost my patience with ‘im!

 

Get him! Out here! I’m gonna pummel ‘im bad enough that even his parents won’t be able ta recognize him!

 

Madara: …And what is this, a yakuza attack?

 

Kohaku: Ah! Ya finally showed yerself ya piece of shit! That’s some nerve ya have, let’s take this outside!

 

Madara: Calm down. ES is always surrounded by journalists from magazines and the internet. If we fight outside, we’ll just be hand-feeding them their latest scoop.

 

That won’t do anyone any good. No, let me rephrase. It would be bad for you and J’s future.

 

Parent’s actions affect their children’s opportunities. If you want to keep acting like J’s father, then you need to be more concerned about public appearances.

 

Kohaku: I’ve never pretended ta be anyone’s dad! Ya pushed that role onto me all by yerself! I do think J is cute and he’s important ta me, but yer startin’ ta really annoy me with all this!

 

But even if it’s an annoyin’ role that was forced onto me, if ya take it away from me without askin’ first, I’ll just get pissed off!

 

Are ya gonna act selfishly from the beginning 'til the end? Are ya a selfish alien from planet selfish or somethin’, huh!?

 

Madara: Hahaha. Kohaku-san always comes up with the funniest lines. LMAO.

 

Kohaku: I’ll murder ya…!

 

I won’t accept this at all, why are ya doin’ this Madara-han? Why did ya kick me off "[MaM]’s Chronicle of Parenting Struggles”!?

 

And what’s more, yer disbandin’ Double Face as well!?

 

When I clocked inta work at CosPro as usual this mornin’, everyone was talkin’ about it, askin’ me what was goin’ on!

 

That’s what I wanted ta know! What did ya do!?

 

I looked it up in a hurry and saw a special episode of "[MaM]’s Chronicle of Parenting Struggles” had been published.

 

And there ya were, happily announcin’ my resignation from the show and Double Face’s disbandment! I got so surprised I nearly threw up my breakfast bagel!

 

Madara: Hahaha. That’s a surprisingly cute breakfast you had there.

 

Kohaku: At bon’s house they pretty much only serve Japanese food, so I was cravin’ somethin’ more stylish-

 

-Wait, that doesn’t matter! Explain what’s goin’ on ta me properly, ya human trash bag!

 

If ya think ya can explain it in a way that’ll make me accept it then why don’t ya try, Mikejima Madara!?

 

Madara: …I got it already. Could you stop making such a fuss in front of the office for the time being? People are still clocking into work, you know? We wouldn’t want to cause trouble for the people properly doing their jobs.

 

Kohaku: Don’t ya try ta lecture me about common sense! Why don’t ya take a look in the mirror before blamin’ things on others, ya absolute idiot!

 

Madara: Okay. Well… I was able to take some good pictures, so we’re okay now.

 

Kohaku: Huh?

 

Madara: For now, I’d like for you to come inside the office, Kohaku-san. I’ve reserved a meeting room for us.

 

It’s okay. I’ll explain everything properly for you.

 

Kohaku: Nn~...? What are ya talkin’ about, really…?

 

 

Madara: Hahaha. Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill. I’m actually kind of impressed that you managed to make such an uproar all on your own.

 

But thanks to that, I was able to get a video of our fight. We can use that to backup the rumors that we’re at odds.

 

And then we can convince the public that Double Face has disbanded due to us being on bad terms.

 

Kohaku: Again, what’s with the disbandin’? No one told me ‘bout this.

 

Madara: I think this is the best opportunity we’ll have.

 

Calm down and consider it, Kohaku-san.

 

It seems like you’re not happy about being kicked off the show, but just how long were you planning to keep playing house for?

 

"[MaM]’s Chronicle of Parenting Struggles” was a project that started out of nowhere without a clear end in sight. No, that’s true for Double Face as well.

 

It was created on a whim as a solution to a problem.
