"Breakfast is already cold. Where are the little lass?" Kaede nonchalantly forked the sausage to his mouth and ignored Keito constant babble about the missing Kahina. It is a family ritual for them to have breakfast on the weekend together and spend time with each other until the afternoon but today, Kahina is nowhere to be seen.

"Oit! First Brother, don't just eat! Kahina is not here yet." Keito moves the plate away from Kaede causing him to grunt.

"I can see that. Should I starve myself because of her?" Kaede pulled back the plate from Keito's hand and continues savouring the food. He glanced at Takio with pleading eyes for him to stop the annoying brother of his to interrupt his breakfast. Sausage and omelette were seducing him to indulge them and the temptation from the smell was stronger than his worries about Kahina.

"Father!" Takio sputtered to the sudden yell from Keito. The tears were welled up because of the pain on his throat.

"This rotten child! Do you want me to die?" Takio grabbed the water and gulped it to calm his throat but his outburst just washed away by the puppy apologetic eyes of his son.

"Just let her be today." Takio continues to breathe in everything served to him and started to converse with Kaede about the current situation on West Region and let Keito sulked alone.

After a while, Keito vacuumed everything to his stomach in the blink of eyes and stomped his way to the door but his pace was halted by Takio.

"Keito, let's play Go [1]. If you win, I let you know her secret."

"What secret?"

"The reason she is absent today."

"Ohh... So she was not overslept. What if I lose?" Keito swore he saw the wicked smiles from that sly old fox.

"You need to admit I'm the coolest and the most handsome dad in the whole world and you are grateful to be my son three times loudly at the front yard."

"What the fu..!"

A slap to his back of the head jolted him. He immediately spun to the attacker but he turned helpless realized a moment of rage from the pain was nothing compared to the warning gaze of his brother. He looked down and murmuring weakly,

"I'm sorry..." Kaede was strict about the way they behave in front of elders especially their parents. They need to watch and careful with the words they choose to them. Being a pampered youngest son in the family, his behaviour sometimes was a headache to the family members and the duty to straighten him was fall to Kaede's shoulder as the oldest son.

"Hahaha! Serve you right! So, how about my proposal? Are you dare or not?" Keito twitched his eyes to the laughter from the old man. It is obvious; this old man shamelessness has no boundary as he wanted him to admit that kind of embarrassing acknowledgement. But from a countless of Go game he plays with his father, Keito can count with his finger the number of times he able to defeat Takio. Knowing the chances for him to win was pretty slim, he tucked Kaede's sleeve with S.O.S pleading look. Touma returned his pleading by a nod.


"I can play on your behalf but I want your new Bugatti Divo."

"Hell no! I bought that with my blood and sweat!" Kaede demand causes his vein to pop out and face was shifted to red. That car has cost him around 700 Million yen (USD 6 Million) and it was not easy to convince Kahina to allow him to buy it. Since he was a kid, Kahina had been managed his expenses because of his improvident attitude. Everything more than 100 Million yen, Kahina approval is needed. He was fine with it as Kahina also cultivate more money for him.

"Then, the game was yours." Kaede wiped his mouth with the napkin and patted him playfully as Keito cried with unseen tears.

"Enough. If you scared, then just admit defeat. Hahaha! Scaredy cat!" Keito pulled his hair hard with a silent scream inside. 'Look at that annoying smirk he had!'

"Huh! Who said I was scared. I just want to give you some face." Keito pride won't allow it to admit defeat but he knows the only outcome that would be.

"Then, bring the board!" Upon hearing Takio's eagerness, Kaede signalled to Kazuma to prepare the game for him and within a minute, the preparation was complete.

"Okay! Okay! Stop bully me. I let you have it. Just get me her secret!" Keito finally gave in to Kaede as he knows there is no way he could defeat Takio.

"Hey, baby! Scared to face me huh? Hahaha!" Takio continues his enjoyment to tease his younger son. Takio actually plans to lose today so, he will be able to inform Keito about Kahina broken heart. Takio was absolute sure Keito will be able to comfort her. The three of them was so close as nothing can separate them but if talking about the love matter, Keito is a better candidate compared to Kaede.

"Noo! I just am giving you some face! Some face okay!" Even though he said that but as he glued himself to the chair and push Kaede to take a seat in front of Takio, was telling a different story to everyone in the room.

"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! My beloved boy is giving me some face. I am so grateful... So grateful..." Takio snorted and smirked as he caresses Keito head makes Keito pop another vein and twitched his lips. Kaede just laughed at him and followed by Takio. Finally, Keito burst of laughter too. The ambience of harmonies father and sons were so blissful.
