"Rea…"
"Rea…"
"Rea…"
The Sword Saint kept knocking on her door but to no avail. She never came out.
Eventually, his wife stopped him to give Rea a bit more time to sort out her thoughts.
His wife asked, "What's wrong?"
The Sword Saint clutched his head while telling the entire story.
"… I just want to be a good father to them. I want to support both of them in whatever they're doing. But…" The Sword Saint gritted his teeth. No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't find a way to make Rea surpass her limit. Sojuro would just beat her again and again.
"I know you have done your best, Dear. Rea is more talented in another place, but you respect… I respect her decision in wanting to become someone like you."
They weren't that far from her room, so Rea ended up listening to their conversation. She finally learned the hurdle that her father faced because of her.
