... ...
We're here! And we're ready to see what's behind your next secret door!
S-some sly prince you are...!
Anyway, it's much too soon for you to be gloating! You haven't won anything yet!
Just what do you think this endurance test could have taught you about me?
Nothing, that's what!
You can't possibly learn anything about me from this! And even if you could, you shouldn't!
You think? I'm pretty sure we already have a fairly good idea.
Ghh...!
Oh yeah? Then prove it. Give it your best shot.
Show me how long you can last against this grueling heat, just like you always do!
Oh, that. Yeah, we're not doing that. Cancel it.
What!?!?!?
Wh-what do you think you're doing?
You heard him. This whole endurance test thing?
We decided not to participate.
Not really our thing, so we're opting out.
？！
... ...
All these father checks have had multiple compounding factors in play. This is one of them.
William Tell all but spelled it out for us.
He told us when you were watching us here, you were looking for someone who was just like you.
That was what we needed to put all the pieces into place. Especially since I know a faerie with the very same temperament.
You feel weak, so you fear the strong, right?
Wha
That doesn't change the fact that you have a real sadistic side.
But if what I just said is true, it does change why you have it.
Or rather, it makes it more understandable.
？！
Right. Your sadism comes from the secret fear and loathing you feel for those stronger than you.
You find relief from that stress by making other people feel the very same pain you always do...
...and you find pleasure by turning the tables and making them weaker than you. At least, that's my theory.
In other words, a perfect father for you would be one who stays by your side, not one who's strong and overbearing.
So weor really, Fujimarudecided that the best way to do that...
...was to not bother showing you the extent of our physical ability by enduring the heat for however long.
Going back to the last checkpoint, thinking about it now...
...perhaps the reason I scored so low the last time is because I chose to clean up in an overly forceful manner.
I see now that trying to impress you with raw power was a mistake.
So don't worry. We get it now.
It's okay. You don't need to indulge your sadistic side here.
？！
A father who'll stay by my side, even if he's weak... What an absolutely perfect
N-no! That won't do! That won't do at all!
I can't be satisfied unless I see you sweating and suffering right in front of me! Aaargh!
Come to think of it, you were protecting yourself from the heat with some kind of barrier, right?
That doesn't seem to have anything to do with your sadistic side, so I'm guessing it was there for another reason.
Probably just a simple matter of constitution. But I'll say no more on that score.
Aw man, she finally called me a jerk. Now I kind of feel bad...
Does that mean you're going to stop?
？！
Obviously not. We've already got four hundred points. One more perfect score to go, and we're done here.
Above all, finishing this game will also be the best thing we can do to help her. I'm sure of it.
