"S-Shuuten?!" Kintoki's eyes widen. He suddenly lets go of Gil's kimono and hurriedly walks up to the two.

Gil stood there, astonished as to how the little girl referred to his own father "Daddy". 

...Did it mean that the two of them are half-siblings?

Hinako was surprised to know that Shuuten's dad was also Gil's dad. It meant that they are siblings but only from another mother. At first, it made Hinako a little happy since she helped Gil's little sister find her way but at the same time, it saddens her. Gil's father has a child from the other woman. She's worried about her senior's emotional well-being.

"Shuu-Shuu, where's mommy?" Kintoki asks as he takes his child from Hinako's back. He looks at his daughter with a smile and asks, "Why are you not with her?"

"Mommy got lost, daddy. I was looking for her," Shuuten said in an adorable tone, hugging her dad by the neck. "Hina-nee helped me look for mommy!"

"'Hina-nee'?" He, then, looks at the brown-headed girl in front of him. "Oh, I see. I'm sorry if my daughter inconvenienced you. You're from Homurahara, right?"

"Ah, y-yes!" Hinako stands up straight, nervous as Gil's father talked to her. "My name is Suzuhana Hinako."

"Well, Suzuhana-san, thank you for looking after little Shuu-Shuu here," Kintoki happily said, looking at his daughter and placing his lips over her cheek. "You're a life-saver."

"It was nothing!" She waves her hands. "I had to help her."

"Thank you, really," Then his attention was diverted back to his daughter. "Let's go find mommy, okay?"

"Okay, daddy!" Shuuten brightly said.

Kintoki looks back at Gil with a frown. "I'll talk to you again when I have the chance."

Gil just remains silent, still looking at the purple-headed little kid his father was carrying.

"Say your good-bye to Hina-nee," Kintoki said.

Shuuten starts to wave her hand and smiles at the brown-headed big sister. "Bye bye, Hina-nee!"

Hinako's face softens and waves her hand lightly. "Bye bye, Shuuten-chan."

Then, the father and daughter starts to walk away in search of Yoriko, the mother of Shuuten and the wife of Kintoki. When they were no longer in sight, the tense atmosphere loosens up and calms Hinako's nerves. She, then, turns around to look at Gil, worried.

"Senpai?"

"What did you see?" He immediately asks as his gaze intensifies at his underclassman.

Hinako took a step back in fear. She can see it in his eyes, the anger and all of the painful emotions that's been welling up inside the golden-headed man. She hasn't felt this intense and suffocating aura around her upperclassman before. Does he really have an uncontrollable anger towards his father?

"T-The only thing I saw was Sakata-san holding your kimono tightly," Hinako replies, her voice getting quieter with each word due to fear. "Nothing else. Also, S-Shuuten-chan didn't see any of it.""
