So they went off and towards Kobadera’s house. At the same time, when that conversation started Jade was able to arrive at Kobadera’s shop and the first words he said were, “HEY KOBADERA GET YOUR…”


    Before he could finish the sentence Kobadera went outside and said, “don’t say that out loud you damn idiot, I already heard your obnoxious voice from the first word.” Jade looked at Kobadera and said “that’s quite the kid you took in.” Kobadera stared back and said “You’re talking about Sora right?”


    That’s when Jade looked at Kobadera and apologized, “Hey Kobadera I’m sorry, I thought that Sora might be able to crack my daughters shell so I decided to come here, can you ever forgive me?” Kobadera looks back with a rather blank expression and says, “Cut the act, you serious Jade, if you’ve seen how Sora handles things you’d understand.”


    He continues, Sora is a strong kid both mentally and physically, if anything the only thing that gets under his skin is the weakness he had before, but talking to a person that has gone through a similar situation at their age should be much easier than talking to someone who knows nothing.”


    Then Jade responds with "I know, and I am still sorry for taking these unnecessary favors from you, like the time you saved my bar by sparing your time getting advertisements to save me from going bankrupt .”


    The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.


    Kobadera proceeds to look at Jade and says, “by the way, why is it that you own the Snooze and Booze store? I thought you knew your daughter still had the PTSD from her mother dying and her other mother taking her as a hostage from doing drugs so much.”


    Responding to that Jade looks at Kobadera and starts to explain with a serious expression. “I know it seems counterintuitive, but, I did that because I care about her, I want her to move past her fears…


    But all it did was just leave her with barely any emotions, not knowing what to think anymore and then Sora showed up and I thought to myself that he’s the key and that’s why I’m here right now, and to tell you the truth I’m not trying to remember her of her past trauma.


    For all I know I could’ve opened up a drug store, but I took the Snooze and booze store instead because she would hate me for the rest of her life and it would be way to hard for her.


    And with an understanding expression Kobadera looks back and says, “come inside why don’t we talk a bit more?” And with a grin Jade responded with a “sure.” At the same time Kobadera then said, “call me Sukehito.”


    That’s when Jade told him that, “Not a chance, Kobadera sounds much better…” Kobadera looked at him with a serious yet comical expression and told himself, “whatever, just… let’s go inside.” So, both of them walk into the Bar and start having leisurely chats.
