Summary:

"Dad, you've been awfully chummy with Ren-kun from next door lately," Hana Tanaka observed, her eyes narrowed at her father, Kenji Tanaka, who stubbornly was still in her Magical Girl Black outfit. "Ah, Hana-chan! Well, Dad and Ren-kun were just... discussing your future marriage prospects with him!" Black stammered, a bead of sweat forming under her bangs. "Still in that ridiculous getup, Dad? And why haven't you changed back for days? The neighbors are starting to give us looks!" "A Magical Girl must always be vigilant against the encroaching Evil Organization threatening our beloved city!" "Enough excuses! Tell me the truth, Dad!" Hana demanded, hands on her hips. After a long long while of silent, Black sighed, "Hana, my dearest daughter... your dear Okaasan, before she passed, wished for my happiness. And Ren-kun... he's just like her. So gentle, so kind! It must be her, reincarnated as a boy! This magical power, this frilly costume... it was all granted so I could be with her again!" Hana recoiled. "Dad, that's... that's completely ridiculous! You can't actually be planning to marry him!" "And why shouldn't your Dad find a little joy?!" Black fumed, cheeks flushing, "Don't you understand the first thing about filial piety?! One more word of your youthful impertinence, and Ren-kun will be your new step-father by sunset!" "You crazy old fool! So that was your twisted plan all along! Fine! If it's a battle you desire, then a battle you shall receive! Only one Tanaka is walking out of this living room alive!" "Prepare yourself! Witness my ultimate technique! God-Severing Cleave!!"
