Hanfu spent over half an hour holding his little brother's hand and explaining the importance of balancing work and rest. Then Cheap Dad, Gekko Hoshino, finally came home, late as usual. He hurriedly made a simple meal of noodles for the three of them.

Hanfu composed himself, then got up and went over.
"Yui, Yui."
With a smile, Hanfu walked over to
