Daddy is the coolest!

Fukawa showed no change in demeanor as the child began to cry- she honestly didn’t care; the kid deserved it, after all… but… ah, no, she was half-Byakuko, wasn’t she? What did that mean? Would Byakuko-sama be angry at her?

Touko paused her train of thought as soon as the girl opened her mouth again.

"………."

She was right. The very fact that this child existed meant that sometime, in some alternate timeline- maybe not even alternate; she might just have been from the future- Byakuko decided to have a child with someone. Considering that was sadly an impossible feat for Fukawa and Byakuko to accomplish together (a fact Touko found herself continually forcing out of her mind), that meant that the heiress had found someone else.

Suddenly, Fukawa knew exactly how she felt about Kamiko.

Making the other despair so that her father would be proud with her,... but also make her get as far away from Byakuko as possible. She couldn't let anyone but her father, Jun Enoshima, get near her after all. Because then... Big brother would be happy. Yes. That would make him happy. .... right?

She stood up again, taking a few steps closer to her again. Looking up at her with curious eyes.

"—-!! Wait, what—- A little excited aren’t you?" It must be interesting then. But who knows, seeing as it’s a kid after all. He let’s her lead him to the chair and sits down, wrapping his arms around her little waist once she’s sat on his lap.

"He’s been hanging around with Byakuko here and there. If it’s not that he’s in the video room watching those movies of his. Really, what a mean brother isn’t he. Not taking care of his little sister. Anyways, that’s good to hear.—- Fukawa?" Upon hearing her last words his attention is immediately focused on her.  She managed to break the writer?

"…………."

"Upupupu!! Ahahaha! You actually made her sad!? A little girl?! She really is pathetic huh?! To be affected by a kid, how despairing! Ahaha!" The mastermind chuckled for a while more before letting out a large sigh.

She looked up at him in silence for a moment. Not sure if he was laughing at the author, of if he was laughing at her for being such a terrible, disappointing daughter. But as soon as he said his last word, that worried smile disappeared from her lips.

"ARE YOU REALLY DADDY!?! Thank you!!" She wrapped her arms around him, hugging him tightly as quiet, girly giggles escaped her lips.

"Come!!" Grabs him by the hand and drags to a chair or something where he can sit down. Then she climbs up in his lap and looks up at him with big, round excited eyes.

"Weeell first!! I woke up.. and I couldn't find big bro.. So I ate breakfast without him! Then I played withy my Mr.Bear for a moment.. And theeeen.. Then I found that girl mommy hangs out with sometimes!! DO YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT I DID DADDY!?" whispers in his ear. "I made her super duper super super super super sad!!...."

...

"Are you proud of me now?"

Immediately, Fukawa threw the girl off of her and shoved her backwards with as strong of a push as she could manage.

"Nnnn! NO! She… she can’t have a kid! Not one your age!!! That’s… impossible!!!"

The memory of her own ‘child’ meeting her several months ago briefly resurfaced. She pushed it back down, far more willing to believe that this… thing was faking rather than accept her relation to Byakuko.

"…Y-you don’t know that!!! She… she’s told me otherwise, in person!"

"H-How could you!? Y-You pushed someone that's a lot smaller than you!! Meaniepants! I HATE YOU!"

"A-and... So does mommy! Y-You know... Just cause she said that once doesn't mean she really means it!!"

She wiped away her tears while sobbing, when removing her hands her face was clean again, with an even darker smile on her lips. She stood up, letting more childish, girly giggles escape her lips.

Good, she was aaaaalready going crazy... or whatever! Kamiko was prepared to do anything to stop people from getting between her mommy and daddy. She needed them to be together... Then Big bro would be happy!

Touko naturally froze up as soon as the girl touched her- apparently even children’s hands were enough to spark her defensive measures- and shivered as she spoke. The author didn’t have enough willpower to break away yet… the most she could do was force out a few stuttered words.

"Mommy never loved you..."

She said again, more quiet this time.. Almost whispering. There was a moment of silence where Kamiko just stood there, holding her arms around the other in a hug. Suddenly. her embrace tightened, girly giggles entering the other's ear.

Fukawa sighs and silently bends down to listen, halfway expecting the girl to smash something unpleasant in her face. She honestly didn’t care about this girl’s parents, or how much they took care of her. Whatever kind of upbringing she had, it couldn’t have been worse than Touko’s.

Kamiko kept smiling, looking up at the other as she waited for her to get closer. As soon as they were about the same height, the little girl wrapped her arms around her. Pressing her face against the other's hair gently, smiling to her ear as she began to speak in a normal tone.

"Ugh… Y-your terrible upbringing is already showing, and I haven’t known you for more than a minute…

"Oh yeah! That's mostly my mommy's fault. She neeeeeeeever takes care of me! Isn't that like super duper sad? My daddy is so much better... like... totally!"

"But I think you'll like this secret!! it's about my mommy too!"
