Kin Ono (AST)

Kin showed up at her son’s office with a fully sized, ambulatory family shrine smash through the doors and call out in an elderly, feminine voice. Tofu comes out of the kitchen and playfully says he already has a family shrine, only to be startled when it addresses him as son.

Though Tofu wonders why she couldn't have called first, she brushes it off as something she forgot and tells him to come and pay his respect to his father, whose portrait is the centerpiece of the shrine. Frost was insulted when Kin mistook her for a boy, but managed to keep her temper and gave her a proper greeting. Tofu who had finished his prayer explained that Frost was a nurse and a Chinese Amazon. It turned out that Kin’s mother had trained with the Amazons for awhile which how Tofu knew the techniques.

Kin was there with the intent on wedding her son so that he can give her grandchildren. She initially discounted Frost as a bridal candidate because her hips were too small. When he tried to protest she threatened to commit suicide and as Tofu was struggling to grab the pill bottle Frost rushed in to demand what was going on.

Now that she was calmed down Kin hands over a photo of an incredibly homely woman with the build of a professional wrestler and a massive set of hips. Tofu's mother, explains that the woman is the winner of the all-Japan Pelvic Contest, is a member of the Pelvic Pride society, and will soon launch a singing career with the Country Music hit "The Big Hips Blues".

Kin explains that big, strong hips on a woman create strong, healthy children and good bloodlines. Big hips are better than a rabbit's foot when it comes to luck in a marriage, and she scornfully declares that the face is the very last thing a man should look for. Frost began arguing that intelligence was more important then physical strength. Kin agreed with her argument and named her bridal candidate #2. Frost was so pleased with her victory that it took her awhile to realize what just happened. Tofu gave her a sheepish look as his mother easily manipulated her into agreeing with it.

Kin provided Frost someone to talk to lightening her mood significantly. Of particular amusement were her wonderful baby stories of the doctor. They were always good for a laugh, and nicely humbled Tofu. She would be completely thankful for the elder's presence if it was not for the engagement. It was simple enough to get out of, just say she was not interested. However, every time she started with that line of reasoning, Kin turned it around into Frost feeling unequal to the task, which Frost would firmly deny. No man was above her. This left her back where she started. So, for the time being, Frost was trapped by her own pride.

Tofu was shocked that Akane sent him a letter asking him to meet her at a rather racy restaurant. At the same time his mother was ecstatic. This caused Frost to angrily ask if he was having a relationship with a girl ten years younger than him. Confused at why Akane would send such a letter he answered no, but before he could go further his mother stepped in stating that it didn’t matter that she was 16 and even pointing out that Frost was 18. When she asked her son if he was going to accept the date he agreed to it was more to find out what was going on.

She ended up following her son to the restaurant and impressed by her hips named Akane bridal candidate number three. Horrified at his mothers embarrassing antics he pulled her aside to speak in private.

After returning from dinner Frost, Tofu and his mother were greeted by Siren who had come to inform Frost that she had the go ahead to fix the Kaisuifu. Having not seen a good enchantment in ages asked if they could attend. When Frost went to go get ready Siren asked them to keep hush hush on the fact that she would have an audience.
