==Plot==
Mr. Suzugami was a researcher in medical field, descended from an old lineage dating back several decades, known for its patrilineal traditions. Mr. Suzugami was aware of the outdated nature of these traditions and initially planned to raise his child freely, regardless of gender. However, while his wife was pregnant, Mr. Suzugami received news from the doctor that she was ill and was only able to bear a single child. When he learned that the baby in the womb, the unborn Suzugami Miya, was a girl, the pressure of not being able to meet the expectations of the lineage weighed heavily on him, leading him to make a drastic decision — to administer the Tensei Virus, which he was researching at the time, to the unborn child, transforming the fetus into a boy. He would raise Miya under strict expectations, forcing him to act manly, and keeping what he did a secret to him. However, as Miya grew older, he began to resist, ultimately running away from home.
Some time after Miya's disappearance, Mr. Suzugami was able to locate him, now living under the name of Myaako and working as a maid at Nyanco Cafe. He would send his staff to find Myaako in a forceful attempt bring him back home, but this was unsuccessful.
Later, when Miya's releases a more dangerous airborne version of the Tensei Virus, intending to start a global pandemic, Mr. Suzugami reappears, descending from a helicopter onto the school rooftop where Miya had fled. Hinata's group, who were partially aware of Miya's story but suspected something deeper at play, press Mr. Suzugami for answers. However, he struggles to respond, forcing them to postpone the conversation and focus on finding Miya first. He would meet up with them again a week later, this time fully disclosing to them what he had done to his child. When pressed further, he confirms there is no way to contain the virus as Miya said, admitting that his child has already surpassed him in knowledge, and that only Miya might have a potential solution. Though Mr. Suzugami now deeply regrets his actions, Yuuri is still furious at the man's inability to take responsibility for what he set in motion.
Hinata and his friends to find Miya hiding away in a secret basement of Nyanco Cafe. Depsite having heard his father's confession, his plan hasn't changed — to have his own worthless self vanish and have Myaako enjoy a free life in the new world. However, Hinata and his friends convince him to change his mind. This is when Mr. Suzugami also arrives by helicopter. Hearing the sound of the rotors, Miya and Hinata's group arrive at the rooftop. He begs for Miya's forgiveness, admitting his mistakes. Miya tells his father that all he wanted was for him to acknowledge him as a worthy child, whether as a boy or a girl. In response, he assures him that both Miya and Myaako are his children. However, right after their reconciliation, Miya's father announces that with the virus beyond containment, someone has to take responsibility. He takes out another container with the Tensei Virus as he speaks, declaring that he alone will shoulder the burden of his sins, and wishing for Miya and Myaako to live freely in the new world. Before anyone can intervene, he releases the virus into the air.
