So, she gave up the title "daughter" to hide the fact that she's actually the prince son?! That's a really cringe joke, yeah, I know.

I guess the one positive takeaway here is that if Nase is meant to be representative of Yutaka Take, that she'll end up doing... uh... we'll say pretty good for themselves.
He's already in the franchise as a cameo of a real person. But as far as I understand, they were still partially inspired by his life.

A CinGray release on my birthday? Excellent present. (Kidding aside, thanks for the time and effort.)

Cruel as fate is for Creek and Inari, I'm grateful for a franchise like this, which can afford to be kinder than the real world.

There seems to be some conflicting message in this chapter, Creek's trainer was regretting that she kept pushing Creek without realizing she was injured/burnt out because she was too blinded by her dreams, and then she got angry due to her inferiority complex to her father, so she's going to keep pushing Super Creek to achieve her goal of surpassing her father.

God, the Nase Family character growth arc of the entire series is so goddamn good.

There seems to be some conflicting message in this chapter, Creek's trainer was regretting that she kept pushing Creek without realizing she was injured/burnt out because she was too blinded by her dreams, and then she got angry due to her inferiority complex to her father, so she's going to keep pushing Super Creek to achieve her goal of surpassing her father.

It's a convergence of a number of factors; humans do be containing multitudes. She's already extremely emotionally charged by Creek's hospitalization, because of (a) her previous euphoria of getting really amped up for her own dreams, (b) her guilt over not noticing Creek's condition until it was possibly too late, and (c) her concern for Creek needing to be hospitalized. With that setup, lashing out at her dad the way she did may have partially been because of her inferiority complex toward him, but it was more because, if she had accepted what he said, that would have meant it really was well and truly over, and she's not prepared to give up on either Creek or herself. I imagine he said what he said specifically to get that reaction from her, and would have been disappointed if she instead resigned herself to giving up.

The realization of your shortcomings and the decision to have faith and move forward with your dreams, in one chapter? Classic umamusu.

Thanks for the chapter!
