M-Min-chan...
What's this?
No one will interrupt us now. Rejoice.
I'll give you the death you wished for.
You still dare defy me?!
This book is...
You came, Daddy?
Am I still alive?
You silly goose. I'm always by your side.
Hello? Sorry for leaving in the middle.
Huh? A marketing presentation tomorrow?
The doctor said
you should rest up at home for a while.
What will we play today, Daddy?
You see, Daddy draws pictures for work.
And today, I'll draw a picture book for you.
What'll the story be?
Let's see... I think I'll write a superhero story.
A superhero?
The superhero... takes out cockroaches!
He takes out cockroaches,
Makes the shrimps you hate so much go away!
makes the shrimps you hate so much go away.
The superhero will chase away
I'm scared!
everything you're afraid of or hate.
He'll beat them up.
Everything in this universe belongs to me!
None may stand in my way!
Now, then.
I'll give you the death you've been waiting for.
Nah, I can't die.
Huh?
What was that?
I haven't resolved
a problem I created yet.
Did you draw this, Min-chan?
Who is this?
Bad Daddy.
Hey, hey. I'm the bad guy?
Ta-da! To celebrate my new work success in advance,
a special present to my family!
A two-seater? What's wrong with you?
Are you stupid?
What's wrong with fulfilling my dreams as a man with the money I earn myself?
That's only if things go well with your work!
What about the debts we're yet to repay?
Besides, I've got stuff I want—
Shut up!
Don't stand between a man and his dreams, you dumb broad!
This is Daddy as an evil king.
What happens to me, then?
I want the good Daddy to defeat the evil Daddy.
You are me.
The bad me lurking beside me!
Then what will you do, Superhero?
He might've had a stroke!
Hurry up and get the OR ready!
Don't fret, Min-chan.
The doctors said there's still hope.
It's not certain that he'll never wake up again.
Yeah, but why did this happen?
Your daddy worked too hard.
Working eight part-time jobs
at once was clearly too much.
Part-time jobs?
He said he was president of his own company.
He couldn't bring himself to tell you the truth, huh?
I'm sorry.
Thanks for filling in for me on that presentation.
We'll figure something out here, so stay by your family's side.
As long as we have the documents...
I'm counting on you.
Your daddy had a huge project stolen by someone.
Once he realized, he did all he could
to convince people it was his idea,
but his cruel co-workers made him out to be the bad guy
and chased him out of the toilet seat business.
And so, he lost his job and all his money.
That's how it went, I'm told.
He was doing everything he could to get his job back.
Even going door-to-door to sell toilet seats.
He did his best and went to places nobody else wanted to go...
Even Russia and Africa.
After your mother left, he started working even harder.
Looking at him, my struggles felt trivial,
like they meant nothing at all.
But, you know, shouldn't you clear up
Min-chan's misunderstanding?
Don't just shoulder everything yourself. Tell her the truth.
I don't mind being criticized or hated.
Besides, the superhero in Min-chan's heart
cannot give up and lose so easily.
That's my pride as a father.
Pride
as a father
Hello, mister!
I love Min-chan, and we're seeing—
Get lost right now. Or I'll make you.
This is why I said we shouldn't tell him.
I want to impress him with my sincerity!
Don't go spouting crap about sincerity or impressing me!
You were happily eating your own snot until recently!
Even if he's in a coma, try talking to him as much as you can.
He might have some sensation left in his brain.
"The Great Emperor's three sons,
Rash, Greed, and Pride were defeated by the superhero.
The Great Emperor looked
to destroy the world in a fit of rage.
The superhero took him on in a decisive battle,
but the Great Emperor was so strong,
the superhero's counterattacks didn't work.
And... And then...
You stupid old man!
I finally get why you didn't tell me how the story ended.
This world doesn't have any
superheroes who never lose!
I don't need
any invincible superheroes.
Just stay with me, Daddy!
If you do, I won't have anything to be afraid of!
We couldn't go to the beach before, so let's go now.
Let's play that game we once got hooked on again.
Let's go that farm, too.
And let's stay together until you're old.
Please wake up!
Open your eyes!
Watch me grow up!
You rotten old man!
When I grow up, I want to be
your superhero and protect you!
Twelfth Day as a Superhero "Stay With Me, Daddy!"
Where did that rotten old man go?
Min-chan!
We're out of toilet paper!
Keep it down!
Don't scream just because there's no toilet paper.
Are you telling me to wipe with my hand?
And wash my face with that very hand? I'll do it, you know?
Please don't! Here, toilet paper.
And how long have you been stuck in there, anyway?
The doctor told you not to push too hard in the toilet, right?
"Or you'll collapse due to high blood pressure again," he said.
Well, I went to buy fried bread for you this morning.
But I was in a rush, so I ended up taking into the toilet with me.
Fried Bread
Don't take food into the toilet!
And lay off the oily stuff!
But the doctor told me to eat nutritious food once I got discharged.
You're eating too much, you pig!
How long are you gonna sleep?
I'll kill you. I'll make you poop.
Wait, this was all a delusion from when I was in a coma...
Wait, why are you alive?
This is no dream or flashback. It's reality.
What? But you died, too!
Quit whining and take a dump!
Shit! Don't make me poop without my permission!
Space Peace Republic Alliance Hero Committee
Hey, you're the only one in the world taking a dump again.
Go to whichever world you want.
All these worlds you thought were fictional
actually existed as part of a multiverse.
You won't end this on a "it was all a dream" punchline!
I want a girlfriend this time for sure.
I'll defeat you, and...
Quit spouting crap, my evil alter-ego!
Oh, was this reality, too? I deserve an Oscar for my performance.
Invite us all to a Kamen Girls concert, then!
Technical Magic My Compact! Technical Magic My Compact!
I want a mask.
Which world do you like best?
That...
That goes without saying!
The one where I'm together with Min-chan!
Gross! Creepy!
Eat this! Totsushindou!
Totsushindou
Thank you very much!
The End.
