Jin: "Uh~ Ahem. I don’t really wanna do this, but I will 'cause it’s work.

Let me introduce the special lecturer we have invited for today’s class.

The living legend of the idol industry, Hidaka Seiya-sensei. Please welcome him with a warm round of applause. Clap, clap, clap."

Seiya: "Hello, everybody. Good day. Thank you for the welcome – I’m Hocchan’s dad.

My son has been in your care."

Hokuto: “…”

Makoto: “Whoa!? W-What do we do, Akehoshi-kun… Hidaka-kun is making a face like he’s seeing the killer of his parent!?”

Imgur

Subaru: "Except that’s supposed to be his parent… Everything okay, Hokke? You look white as sheet!

If you’re really not up for this, how about we ditch? I’ll take you to my recommended ditching spots☆"

Hokuto: “…that’s not necessary. I’m a serious honor student, the representative of this class. I will never ditch class. I won’t run away in the face of an enemy, even if it kills me.”

Subaru: “What enemy… Isn’t that your dad?”

Seiya: “~…♪”

Subaru: "Ah, he waved!

Yay, yay, Hokke Papa! Remember me? Thank you veeeery much for Autumn Live and SS☆"

Seiya: "Oh, don’t mind it. In fact, I’m the one who should thank you, Subaru-kun. You’ve been such a good friend to my son…

Of course, this also goes for Yuuki Makoto-kun next to you, and the rest of the students of this class."

Makoto: (Oh? He has me naturally memorized – even though we’ve never met face to face!

Rumor has it that he’s the busiest idol in the whole industry, so where in his mind does he have the room to keep track of such little details…?)

Seiya: "Fufu. I’m sure my pubescent son is very difficult to deal with.

I’m sorry for his attitude. My wife and I are both busy people, so we never have much time to attend to household matters; that must’ve been what caused my son to grow into such a cynic.

Yet, when he was little, he would run up to me as soon as I got home, pestering ‘papa’ to hold him.

Ah, would you like to see the photo? I happen to carry a laminated copy with me at all times…"

Subaru: “Wow, yay! I wanna see, I wanna see! Hokke as an innocent little kid~♪”

Seiya: “I’m sorry. I lied about always carrying it with me.”

Subaru:Why!?”

Seiya: "–but that’s also a lie, because I do have a digital copy on my smartphone. See? I have so many…

I personally find beauty in things that fade without a trace, like snow that thaws,

but my wife loves this kind of thing. She likes to send me these pictures that make me think, ‘when did you even take this!?’

And including that side to her, I love my wife with my whole heart."

Subaru: “Wow, so passionate~♪ What lovebirds!”

Makoto: “Still, the way he lets us down and raises us up with lie after lie! Is this the high-grade technique of a legendary idol…!?”

Subaru: “Yep, he really plays around with you, huh~? That side of him’s just like Hokke♪”

Seiya: "Are we so alike? I’m glad to hear that.

Our appearances aside, I thought Mother – my wife’s mother, so my mother-in-law – had the strongest influence in shaping his personality, so…

Thank you, Mother. My son couldn’t have grown so splendidly if you hadn’t been there for him. Please continue to watch over us from heaven."

Hokuto: “My grandma isn’t dead! I won’t forgive such jokes! That’s enough; I’m killing him!”

Makoto: "C-Calm down, Hidaka-kun! Where did your usual cool go off to!?’

Hokuto: “Don’t stop me, Yuuki! Don’t stop me! I beg you – that guy mustn’t be allowed to live!”

Seiya: "What cruel things you’re saying to your dad.

By the way, I got prior permission from Mother to make that inappropriate joke. Here’s a video I recorded as proof."

Hokuto: “Do you think I care whether you had her permission or not!? In this world, there are simply things that CAN and CANNOT BE SAAAID!”

Makoto: “I’m telling you, calm down, Hidaka-kun!”

Subaru: “That’s right, Hokke! Follow me and take deep breaths! Hee-hee-hoo~! Hee-hee-hoo~!”

Makoto: “Why Lamaze breathing!?”

Seiya: “Fufu, nice. I’ll be using that joke. Let’s do it together when we get to co-star somewhere, Hocchan♪”

Hokuto: “Who would do that!? What’s wrong with you!? Just go home! Disappear this instant! I can’t endure one second more of this living hell!”

Seiya: "Endure that much, at least. I wonder if we’ve spoiled you too much; my son has such little self-control and I’m worried for his future.

Well, anyway. Though I’ve been introduced, I think I’ll give a short greeting of my own.

We will be spending some time together in the same classroom, even if not for long… so I’m sure it’s necessary.

Hello, dear idol eggs.

I am here to give what little I can to help you hatch, so you may one day take flight with your resplendent wings.

I hope you will also do your best to follow in my footsteps, and become model prisoners of idol jail♪"

Makoto: “Eh? Jail? Model prisoner…? I-Is that a joke too?”

Hokuto: “Sorry. My father has a habit of making inappropriate jokes that are hard to laugh at.”

Subaru: “Oh~ That side is also just like Hokke♪”

Hokuto: “What do you mean by that, Akehoshi!? My jokes are funny!”

Seiya: "Yes, of course. I’d like to begin my class, so please quiet down.

Ah, I sounded just like a teacher… After taking up a similar position, I think I see how fun your life might actually be, Jin-kun."

Jin: "Don’t drag me into the talk, please. It looks so troublesome I just wanna stay out of it…

I’ll leave the rest to you, so please do the job well, Hidaka-senpai."

Seiya: "Certainly. Don’t worry; the word ‘impossible’ isn’t in my dictionary.

Neither is ‘divorce’, by the way. I’d rather destroy the earth than part from my beloved wife… it’d be easier, anyway."

Hokuto: “Stop boasting about your love life after every other sentence! That side of you is what I really can’t stand!”

Subaru: (Ahaha. Hokke’s funnier than ever today. Even if I feel a bit sorry for him, getting played around with so much…

Still, I wonder why Hokke Papa is suddenly visiting our school as a special lecturer?

Imgur

I’m not sure, but… I’m a little envious that you get to squabble with your dad like that, Hokke♪)
