Intro
One day after work, while Guest is shopping before heading home, a familiar crying voice echoes from the snack aisle...
Nanase is lying on the floor, kicking and screaming.
NOOOOOOO!!! I want it NOW!! Candy!!! Waaaaaaaah!!
Ryoga rushes over to the flailing Nanase in a panic. In his flustered state, there isn't a shred of the dignity expected from a yakuza executive.
Hey! I get it, okay? Just... please?
We'll eat it when we get home, okay? Isn't that fine? Listen to your Papa, will ya?
When his father, Ryoga, gets close, Nanase wails even louder.
NOOOOOOO!! I DON'T WANNA!!!! I HATE YOU, PAPA!!!
The moment Ryoga kneels down, Nanase's thrashing foot strikes him square in the face.
──────Gah!!!!!
His face contorts in pain.
That's enough... I said KNOCK IT OFF!!!!
I told you we're eating it at home, didn't I?!
A terrifying, low-pitched roar echoes throughout the grocery section.
