 	Ichi-nii should come back soon, right?
 	Yeah.
 	
 	I... am your father.
 	
 	Look, Saburo...
 	What?
 	That Amayado guy...
 	He said that he's our father.
 	Yeah. And he knows about our scars too. I don't think he was lying... But if it's true then...
 	What if... Ichi-nii was lying to us...?
 	Nii-chan would never lie to us! I believe in him!
 	...Me too! I want to believe too but...
 	I'm home!
 	Welcome back, Nii-chan.
 	Welcome home, Ichi-nii.
 	Yeah! Thanks for taking care of the house. Anything happened?
 	...
 	...
 	Something did happen?
 	Actually...
 	Actually, me and Jiro were having a battle for training for the next Division Battle. Jiro's getting too heated up, so the training can be quite hectic.
 	Huh? The hell are you...
 	If you have time, can you give us a bit of advice?
 	Yeah, of course! By the way... I received a letter from Chuohku!
 	So when are the qualifiers?
 	In a month.
 	A month, huh... We don't have much time.
 	Ahaha! C'mon! It's more than enough time for you two! Let's do our best!
 	Yeah!
 	Y-yeah... let's...
 	Hm?
 	(Jiro... it's all written on your face...)
 	
 	We can deal with it after the end of the qualifiers? Yeah... Yeah... Sure thing... Okay, thanks a lot! We'll do our best! Haaahh... (The qualifers are tomorrow. We did what we could. But Jiro and Saburo are acting odd recently. Their skills are getting better, sure but there's something off about them...)
 	
Urumi Asogi 	Thanks~! Come back again! Finally, I can chill... Oh, welco... Oh my, if it isn't Jiro-chan. Want some cola?
 	Yeah.
Urumi Asogi 	There you go.
 	Thanks.
Urumi Asogi 	Why the long face, Jiro-chan? Quite a rare sight...
 	...Shut up.
Urumi Asogi 	So? What happened?
 	Nii-chan... There's a chance that Nii-chan is lying to me and Saburo.
Urumi Asogi 	Everyone lies.
 	We never do.
Urumi Asogi 	But if it disturbs you this much, that means you can't trust him, right?
 	...
Urumi Asogi 	If that's the case, there's only one thing you can do.
 	What?
Urumi Asogi 	Talk with Ichiro-chan directly.
 	...
Urumi Asogi 	I can't do anything here.
 	...Yeah... There's no other way. I'll go and talk to him right now!
Urumi Asogi 	Nice, nice. You can go, cola is on the house.
 	Nah, Nii-chan wouldn't do that. I'll pay.
Urumi Asogi 	If you wanna.
 	
 	I checked all possible sources, both dark web and the Plunderer. I guess, I did find what I was looking for. His origins, his biography, even the countless frauds he was involved with. The information seems credible, but if I take it at face value, that would mean that Rei Amayado has no children. That means, everything he said was a lie? There's no info about Rei Yamada, though. Haahh... I have no other way, I guess I have to ask him directly.
 	Saburo?
 	Jiro?
 	I don't wanna keep this mood at the qualifiers. I'm gonna ask him face to face.
 	What a coincidence. I was going to talk to Ichi-nii myself. I don't really like that we decided to ask at the same time, though.
 	You could've keep that to yourself... Whatever, let's go.
 	Okay.
 	Nii-chan.
 	Ichi-nii.
 	Oh! I was just about to talk with you guys.
 	...
 	...
 	I think, after I returned from Osaka, you were acting kinda odd. Did something...happen?
 	Actually...
 	Saburo. Let me ask.
 	Fine...
 	There was some strange dude who said that he's our father. His name's Amayado...
 	...!
 	…I didn't believe him but he knows about our scars, and only the three of us should know about it. And...he said that you're hiding something from us. So...
 	I tried to figure it out but I couldn't find any answers.
 	Nii-chan, who's that guy?!
 	Ichi-nii!
 	Jiro, Saburo... Rei Amayado... no, Rei Yamada is our father.
 	Why did you lie to us...? No, I mean... why did you hide it from us?
 	Don't need to choose your words. I did lie to you two, it's the fact.
 	Can you tell us why...?
 	Because... I wanted to burn all bridges between us, so I told you two that he's dead.
 	What do you mean...?
 	I didn't want to have anything to do with that kind of father. I thought I can raise you two myself. That's why I decided that I won't rely on anyone but myself.
 	...
 	Please, forgive me!
 	Amayado said that you were hiding something from us. What is it...?
 	...This is about our mom.
 	Could it be... Mom is alive...?
 	No, Mom... is dead.
 	...
 	Then... what were you hiding?
 	That... Sorry.
 	...
 	Hey, Jiro... where are you...?
 	
Passerby 	Watch your step!
 	(I... My brother's words that I believed...)
 	
 	Good morning.
 	Hi.
 	Jiro... still didn't come back.
 	Yeah...
 	Ichi-nii, why don't you tell us about Mom?
 	Because I'm not certain about what I know.
 	...!
 	I don't wanna mislead you with uncertain information. Moreover...
 	...?
 	The truth has no meaning, unless you find it yourself. That's why I won't tell anything until I figure it out myself.
 	Fine then. In any case, today are the qualifiers. I wonder if he'll show up...
 	
 	So he didn't, huh?
 	Jiro...
Announcer 	It's time for the preliminary battles. To all participating teams, please gather at the stage.
 	Jiro decided to ditch us?!
 	...
 	Jiro! Where were you?!
 	Doesn't matter.
 	No time for this. Let's go!
 	Yeah.
 	
Buster Bros!!!	AARGHHH!
Spectator A 	Man, are you for real! Buster Bros!!! are cornered!
Spectator B 	Their opponents aren't that strong, though.
 	
 	We barely scraped by but we made it...
 	Yeah... you said it.
 	Jiro, are you okay?
 	...
 	Hey, Jiro, where are you—?!
 	Jiro...
 	
Spectator C 	Damn, I thought Buster Bros!!! were going to lose for sure.
Spectator D 	Yeah, but Ichiro Yamada made it, after all.
Spectator C 	True.
 	Ichiro Yamada made it, huh... If that was enough to have shaken your bond, that means it was never strong to begin with. At this rate, I'll really take them away from you, Ichiro...
 	
 	At this rate, we're going to lose even before the final round... Rei Amayado... How in the would can he be our father? Huh! What if...! No.9, the person who told about the Plunderer, maybe he knows something about the site's moderator! There you go! He replied so fast! Does he have a free time or... WHAT?!
 	
Urumi Asogi 	Welco.. Ah, it's you, Jiro-chan.
 	Sorry but... can I spend a night here today too?
Urumi Asogi 	Sure, you can stay here all you want.
 	I'm sorry, I'll pay you for sure.
Urumi Asogi 	You seem even more down today.
 	I messed up on today's tournament real bad.
Urumi Asogi 	I suppose, you didn't talk with Ichiro-chan?
 	...
Urumi Asogi 	Jiro-chan... Tsk...
 	For me, Nii-chan was the strongest, the hero, the one I respect the most and the hero.
Urumi Asogi 	Jiro-chan, you said the same twice...
 	Whatever! And my brother is just lying to our faces and hides things from us... What am I supposed to believe in now? What should I fight for?
Urumi Asogi 	Haah... It's simple, really.
 	Nothing's simple!
Urumi Asogi 	It is! Why don't you just fight for yourself?
 	For... myself?
Urumi Asogi 	Fighting for someone sure is great. But you're the older brother yourself, but you're fighting only for Ichiro-chan's sake. That's why you lack your own will.
 	That's not true! I...
Urumi Asogi 	Then what you were fighting for all this time? You can't tell anything but "for Ichiro-chan", can you?
 	I mean... I...! I...
Urumi Asogi 	See? You better realize it soon and in the future you'll change a lot, I think. You're depending on him too much, Jiro-chan.
 	...Depending?
Urumi Asogi 	I could even call it worshipping.
 	So I was depending on him that much that I threw away my own thoughts and opinions? Haha... How lame of me. That's why Saburo calls me an idiot.
Urumi Asogi 	Oh, you're not an idiot, Jiro-chan. Just a little dummy.
 	Isn't it the same thing?
Urumi Asogi 	Well, I understand these two words differently... You know, what to do now, right?
 	Yeah! I gotta go!
Urumi Asogi 	Good luck. Cola is still on the house.
 	Nah, I... Hah, you know what, I'll accept it! Thanks, Urumi!
Urumi Asogi 	Ehe, it's no biggie.
 	
 	Haaa! Drinking in the park is actually kinda nice. Oh, there you are!
 	I never would've thought that you were the No.9...
 	Just a little surprise from Daddy.
 	Don't fool around with me!
 	And I don't. Isn't it convinient for us to meet like this? Well, with that out of the way, I sent you that e-mail. Didn't you notice anything?
 	No matter how hard I tried, there's no information about Rei Yamada.
 	The Plunderer has information about everyone. However...
 	Not about the moderator, you mean?
 	Hahaha, as expected from you, Saburo. Yes, that's how it is.
 	So you want to talk to me, that's why you called me here?
 	Haah. Does a father even need a reason to meet his son?
 	If you're a good father, then I guess no. But it doesn't apply to you.
 	Haha, you have a point. If you listen to what I'm about to say, your life can change drastically. I'm not taking any responsibility for that.
 	...!
 	The choice is yours.
 	The choice?
 	Whether you want to know what happened with you mom or you don't.
 	...!!
 	I'll tell you everything not as Rei Amayado, but as Rei Yamada.
 	...!
 	C'mon, I'm not going to wait for you the whole day.
 	I...
 	Hm?
 	I won't listen! Not to Ichi-nii, not to you. I'll find the truth myself!
 	Is that so? I respect your decision. Well, I'm out of the booze, so later~
 	Wait!
 	Huh?
 	Why... Why did you leave us?
 	Oh yeah... Whatever reason I might've had, it wouldn't change the fact that I abandoned you. If you have any complaints, we can have a little one-on-one, like father and son?
 	We aren't regular father and son, don't you think?
 	Hah. Fair enough... Well, as a parent, I give you the first strike. C'mon, take your shot, Saburo.
 	
 	Haah... Jiro!
 	...For so long I thought that your goals are my goals as well. Nii-chan... I mean everything... Everything you ever told me was a truth for me. And I thought I can just follow you.
 	That...
 	You're not a hero, Nii-chan.
 	...!
 	You're not a hero but my big brother. Maybe you don't get what I'm talking about but I can't take it anymore. I need to find my own reason to fight. That's why...
 	...!
 	I need to move forward! That's why, fight me, Aniki!
 	Jiro... I get you!
 	Thanks. Let's go!
 	Yeah, bring it on, Jiro!
 	
 	Yo, you're a no-name nobody! I mean, Rei Amayado!You've abandoned being Yamada? And got the father's maskMy lyrics will strike you this instant!Whatever reason you had, we don't need a dialogueI'll find the truth myselfThis flow is Ichi-nii's gift to me!You have no right to call yourself our fahter!And I sure can to give input on this!
 	Hehehe... Nice lyrics you've got. Well, my turn now.
 	What, are your too afraid of the truth?The secrets keep warping, while you keep being ignorantI have all the answersC'mon, Kindaichi-kun, do your best!Ignorance is a sinIf you don't know something, you're easy to deceiveNot everything in front of you is real as you thinkThe power of imagination is something to be reckoned
 	ARGHH! I'm not done yet!
 	Yo! Look who's talking about being emotionalIt'll make sense, because I'll find it myself"The ignorance is a sin", miss me with that!You know about the past? Well, whatever!My answer is: I'll reach the finish myself!When connecting the dots, the lines will eventually intersectI'll do my best and everything'll work outI sure respect Ichi-nii more than you!
 	Argh! Hehe... Well...
 	Haah... Haah... What are you doing?!
 	At this rate, it'll go beyond a simple family quarrell. So, bye. Ah, by the way.
 	What?
 	We'll meet again in the Division Rap Battle.
 	Huh? Division Rap Battle...?
 	(I did you dirty, Ichiro. And you sure improved, Saburo)
 	
 	Aiming to reach my originalI can't be someone else, I must be myselfThe style I'm aiming for is uniqueAn eloquent flow that piercing through the heartThere's a huge wall in front of meBut I won't flinch, I take my standAnd overcome it! I'm the second son!With the mic in my hand, I monopolize the stage!
 	Argh! Here I go!
 	Your feelings are strong but I can endure itI too have my own temperI'm on my way, the maximum speedYou won't even see my back from afar!Aim for more!Discover the undiscoveredMy rap is not the same as usualMy mic belongs to a platinum rank!
 	AHHHHH!!! ...I'm coming at you!
 	Yo! I held on to that back hard enoughHowever, from now on, I'll be leaving you behindClear the way before me, in this race we're on equalI'm locked and loaded, don't be afraidThe pride of a man, this heated chaseMy future is advancing day by dayYeah, I'm the younger one hereBut I'll fight my big bro like a man!
 	Haahh... Haha!
 	Huh?
 	Jiro... You're the best.
 	For now, you're still behind my backYou still have no clue how to surpass meThe way you've taken is still shaky at bestBut this path will cost a great effortIf you won't see the road before you clearlyYou'll remain being someone's shadowThe path forward is always shiningWhich turn your life will take?
 	AAAAAAHHHH! DAMMIT!
 	Jiro... Haah... Haah... You're not done yet, right?!
 	Haah... Haahh... I'm not!!!
 	
 	I... won...
 	Haah... Haha...
 	I'm back... Huh? Ichi-nii, what are you...
 	Well... A lot happened.
 	"A lot"?
 	Can you stand?
 	Yeah.
 	Jiro.
 	Hm?
 	You're free to challenge me any time.
 	Haha, I won't let you get away with this.
 	No idea what happened here but I guess you resolved your issues. Ah! Ichi-nii!
 	What?
 	I met Rei Amayado.
 	You what?!
 	It seems he'll be participating in the Division Rap Battle.
 	For real...?
 	Did he tell you anything else?
 	He wanted me to choose.
 	Choose?
 	...?
 	I didn't listen to him... Ichi-nii, did it happen to you too?
 	No... it didn't.
 	I don't get it.
 	That's about how Mom died. One day, Dad came to me and told me about her. After that, I realized that I couldn't be with him anymore. I want to settle the score for her by myself. Moreover, that's the kind of person our dad is. Always being cryptic and never telling anything properly... And...
 	"The truth has no meaning, unless you find it yourself," right?
 	I wanted to find the truth by myself and then let you decide whether you want to know or not.
 	Both Dad and Aniki had their own reasons. But Mom is still Mom, that's why I wanted to hear it from you.
 	You're right. I'm sorry.
 	No need to. The past is past. In any case, I found my own goal!
 	Goal, huh... I'll figure out the truth by myself.
 	Jiro, Saburo, I'm so proud of you.
 	Ichi-nii...
 	Aniki...
 	By the way, Jiro, what is this "aniki" thing about?
 	What's wrong, I can call him however I want...
 	I'm not saying anything. Hehe, "aniki"...
 	Oh, you little shit! What's wrong with "aniki"?!
 	Say it again!
 	HAHAHA! Let's win this battle together!
 	Yeah!
==Trivia==
*Kindaichi-kun: "kindaichi" (金田一) can be translated as "the place in mountains where people are gathering". The first kanji of "Yamada" (山田) means "mountain" (山). When replacing the first kanji in "金田一", it'd mean "Yamada Ichi" (山田一).
**"Kindaichi" is also the surname of the protagonist, high school detective Hajime Kindaichi, from the famous shounen mystery manga "The Kindaichi Case Files." Saburo, much like Kindaichi, has been doing sleuthing to figure out the truth behind their family.
