"Lets shed some light upon some things, Leoth has to take a break now and then so I'm gonna let Kumi take the stage from time to time and keep you peeps busy"

==================================

"Otou-san, why do they call me an Ice Queen?"

Kumi's father didn't even flinch or pale over his daughter's question, unlike the way the usual dad's shudder at the thought of accidentally making their young ones cry, but no, Araki Mashima wasn't the type to show weakness even to her,

He always preferred to take things head-on and plan later, a gambler or a risk taker is what he is and has been a real threat to the bigwigs, when he sets his sights on a company, one he deems as an unpolished jewel would obtain his full confidence and support, where he invests and nurtures its business then he rakes in his profits.

People had told him he had a Green Thumb, well of course the thing he grows isn't vegetables but money itself.

Now he'll take a risk in trying to change his daughter just so that she wouldn't grow up so alone like her mother, who only opened up to him when they got married and no one else.

"Kumiko, my pride and joy, it is because of your demeanor that people have distanced themselves from you, you always glare and frown so much that they deem you as someone they could never reach."

her head bobbed down multiple times as her father's words were still being mulled over " Is that so...?"

Araki just smirked over his daughter who was thinking too hard which made her face look so adorable that he couldn't stop himself from trying to hug her.

'I should try to act nicer then... Change is good, right?" losing her train of thought when her father couldn't take it anymore and hugged her with filial delight.

He couldn't stop but notice her daughter still struggling so he got an idea and remembered that an old classmate called up to meet and catch up for old times sake and also drink some sake, whom he found out actually has a son who's  Kumi's age, the call ended with a confirmation that he'll bring his son.

"Do you wanna come with dad to meet up with his old classmate."

"No thank you, I'm pretty sure it'll be about boring adult stuff again."

"Don't worry, he said he'll bring his son who's about your age."

Kumi's face turned to joy and agreed immediately from the thought of gaining a friend

"Oh! and I also heard that he's smart, knows some martial arts, and a handsome gentleman, you two could probably hit it off, my friend told me."

Tints of scarlet red started to appear on Kumi's face which she tried to hide by covering with her hands, she couldn't believe her dad thought farther than her, embarassed by the thought she started to unleash a flurry of irritation toward him

He couldn't help but laugh at his daughter " Well I'll make sure to tell him that I'll bring you for a playdate with his son."

his face met dropkick and the face knew it wouldn't recover from the full-frontal attack.
