It's been two months. So far, the series in which the director cast me as the main character has done exceptionally well. I've gotten better at acting thanks to my father's guidance. If I continue this way, my father will be able to continue his acting career. Other directors are also paying more attention to me than they were previously. Taiki has also caught the eye of other filmmakers and landed roles in films. Seijuro-sama and Airi-san were pleased to watch their kid appear in films.

“Aqua! Aqua! I got it!”Ruby waved Taiki's phone in the air before taking a seat next to Aqua on the couch. Aqua glanced over at his twin with a flat face, “What are you doing with Taiki's phone? You know that's invading his privacy.”He explained. Ruby typed away in Taiki's phone, searching for something, “I need to know more about that woman, Aqua! Papa has been going to the bar a lot after he finishes in Kamiki Production! Remember, what our Mama Airi told us?”

Ah. Right, that. It turns out that our father has been going to the bar a lot to meet up with a young actress within the entertainment industry. We found out three weeks ago. Ruby has been begging Airi to tell her who she was. After a week of begging, she finally got her name: Katayose Yura.

“I want to find out more about this lady who wants to steal Papa!”Ruby grumbled, having her gaze glued onto the phone screen. “Our Papa might meet her after he leaves Kamiki Production today!” Aqua watched his sister typing away with a bored look. Ruby gasped, “I found her!”She showed Aqua the picture of the actress.

“Hmm… She's gorgeous–”

“I know, right?! No wonder Papa wants to go see her after he leaves work!”Ruby cried out as she pouted, “She's so young and gorgeous! Who wouldn't want a young lady like her to be their girlfriend?! She's famous, gorgeous, and talented!”She scrolled through the information that was available about the young actress. Aqua leaned against the couch, “I think you're overreacting.”

“I'm not overreacting! This can't happen, Aqua! Mama Airi told me that there's a chance this woman can take our Papa away from us! I don't want to have a stepmom! Do you know how evil they are in movies?!”

“... that's only in movies, Ruby.”

“It can happen in real life, Aqua!”

Aqua paused and sighed, “Yes, that's true.”

“I don't want a stepmom!”

“You do know that not all step moms are the same, right? Yes, some are evil, but others are very kind and understanding. You can't judge someone just from what you saw in a movie.”

Ruby glared and puffed her cheeks out in anger, “I know that, but this is our Papa we are talking about! If Papa falls in love with her and decides to be with her, then she will be our new Mama! My only Mama is Airi! No one else!”Ruby crossed her arms, glancing away with an angry pout. “Ruby, you know that our father has the right to be in a relationship if he desires. He's twenty-six years old. He's young.”

“But… What about our real mother?”

“Our father hasn't told us anything about her. Something must have happened between them that our father doesn't want to tell us about, and he's trying to move on. Our father has the right to be happy with someone whom he can trust. Maybe that actress is the person he trusts. You know that our father doesn't have very close friends, or at least people he can trust the most when it comes to his personal life.”Aqua explained, “Katayose-San might be the person that our father can trust considering how he sees her at the bar almost every single day. Don't you think it will make our father happy to have someone outside of the family to trust the way he does with Seijuro-sama?”
