Ryoma x Kana Variable Parent C-A English Fates

C Support:

Kana:
Hey, Papa. Can I talk to you about
something?▼

Ryoma:
Sure, Kana. What is it?▼

Kana:
It's Mama... I feel like she's always treating
me like a child.▼

Ryoma:
Well, that's only natural. You're her son,
after all. And you ARE still quite young.▼

Kana:
I know, I know.▼

I just mean I'm not as much of a child as I
used to be. I want to help out with things.▼

But whenever I try, she just tells me to go
play with my friends instead.▼

Ryoma:
Ah, I see. You want some responsibilities
of your own.▼

Kana:
Yeah! I want to show her she can rely on
me.▼

I wonder if there's anything I could do for
her...▼

Ryoma:
Let me think...▼

In my case, I try to help her with her
training, whenever we have the chance.▼

Kana:
And that makes her happy?▼

Ryoma:
Yeah, we both enjoy breaking a sweat
together.▼

Kana:
Oh...▼

Ryoma:
Eh? You seem unsatisfied.▼

Kana:
Yeah...I don't think I could really help
Mama with her training very much.▼

And besides, that's a special Papa-Mama
thing. I don't want to be a copycat.▼

Oh, I know! Let's make it a contest, Papa!▼

Ryoma:
A contest? What kind of contest?▼

Kana:
Yeah! We'll have a contest to see which of
us can make Mama happier!▼

Between the two of us, I'm sure we can
come up with all sorts of things!▼

Whoever Mama thanks the most wins!▼

Ryoma:
A little father-son competition, hm?
Interesting.▼

Very well, then. I accept your challenge.▼

Kana:
Really? Yay!▼

Ryoma:
But remember
 I am your mother's husband.
I know her better than anyone else.▼

And I don't intend to go easy on you.
Besting me will be no mean feat.▼

Kana:
That's fine by me, Papa. I'm gonna beat
you fair and square!▼

Ryoma:
Heh. Then may the best man win!▼

Kana:
Hey, Papa! I've been making a ton of
progress on our contest! How about you?▼

Ryoma:
Well, I haven't done anything too special
yet, but she's thanked me many times.▼

Let's see... I've got a tally right here.▼

Kana:
WOW! That's so many! And you got all
these already?▼

Ryoma:
I was as surprised as you are. I guess I
do more for your mother than I thought.▼

Kana:
Hmph... Well, I'm still not going to lose!▼

Here, see! I recorded all mine too! And the
total is...um...▼

Ryoma:
Ghhk! You have the same number as me!▼

Kana:
I do? I do! Haha! Kana's gonna beat you
big-time, Papa!▼

I don't have to work like you, so I've been
spending all day doing things for her!▼

Ryoma:
So that was your secret. And what kind of
things have you been doing for her?▼

Kana:
Mostly I've been trying to help out around
camp!▼

I spend each morning making arrows for
the fletchers.▼

Then, at lunch, I slice the bear meat and
hand out food to the soldiers.▼

Oh, and at night I make sure the mounts
are all fed and outfitted for the next day.▼

Plus I do a bunch of other little things
whenever I have the time!▼

Ryoma:
Wow. That's quite a lot of work for
someone your age. I'm impressed.▼

You really have been growing up, haven't
you?▼

Kana:
Huh?▼

Ryoma:
Oh, just a thought.▼

It wasn't so long ago you were still
in swaddling clothes.▼

Now, all of a sudden, you're making real,
important contributions to the army.▼

Maybe I've been treating you like too much
of a child as well.▼

Kana:
Heehee. Yeah, I've been working real hard.
Soon there'll be nothing I can't do!▼

Ryoma:
I believe it. And I bet your mother has been
very proud of all your hard work.▼

Kana:
I hope so! And I'm gonna make her even
prouder tomorrow!▼

Ryoma:
Hrm...I may have to start taking this
competition a bit more seriously.▼

You're turning out to be quite the worthy
opponent.▼

Kana:
*grumble*▼

Ryoma:
Hello, Kana.▼

Kana:
Hi, Papa...▼

Ryoma:
What's the matter?▼

I expected you to still be exulting after your
little victory the other day.▼

Or has besting your father already lost its
charm?▼

Kana:
Oh, no. I'm still happy about that, I guess.▼

It's just that I was trying to do things for
Mama again earlier, and she made me stop.▼

She said I should be spending more time
playing around with my friends again.▼

She still thinks I'm just a kid.▼

Haven't I shown her I'm old enough to
help out around camp?▼

Ryoma:
I see, so that's it. I wouldn't worry. It's not
you. You're doing good work, I promise.▼

Kana:
Then why doesn't she want me to help
with anything?▼

Ryoma:
I think your mother knows full well you're
capable of handling these things.▼

But seeing you acting so grown up makes
her feel sad.▼

Kana:
Huh? Why?▼

Ryoma:
Well, she doesn't want to lose her baby
boy.▼

She's very, very proud that you're growing
up and working so hard.▼

But at the same time, she's worried it
means you won't need her anymore.▼

It's a little silly, but it's true. Parents
can be funny like that.▼

Kana:
So...what should I do?▼

Ryoma:
I'd say to keep helping out around camp,
but don't work yourself so hard.▼

Take breaks to see your friends, play
games, go on adventures. You know.▼

And try to spend some quality time with
your mother every now and then.▼

Think you can handle that?▼

Kana:
But...▼

Ryoma:
What's wrong? Do you not want to spend
time with your mother?▼

Kana:
No, that's not it!▼

It's just...I feel like that stuff is for babies.▼

Ryoma:
No, Kana, it's not for babies. It's for
children.▼

And your mother wants you to stay a child
for just a little while longer.▼

We both do.▼

Kana:
Papa...▼

Ryoma:
Kana, we know that you're growing and
that you want more responsibilities.▼

And we know that you're going to be a fine
young man someday.▼

But for now...relax. Don't try to grow up
so quickly.▼

Kana:
OK. Thanks, Papa. I'll think real hard
about everything you said.▼

Ryoma:
Good. You know...▼

I think it would be good if you spent the
night in with your mother.▼

I will go talk to her about it.▼

Kana:
Wait! What about you?▼

Ryoma:
Me? No, I've got too much wor—▼

Kana:
But, Papa! I thought you wanted me to
enjoy my childhood.▼

It wouldn't be much of a childhood without
a papa...▼

Ryoma:
Wh-when you put it like that... All right, all
right, fine. Now, go tell your mother.▼

Kana:
Yaaaay!▼

Ryoma:
*sigh* A future king who can't even refuse
a request from his own son...▼

But...I suppose a good king must always
be at the service of his subjects.▼
