[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

"Wait! Father! No!" Nobuo rushed out of the room and took a hold of his father's shoulder to stop him. He was going to do whatever it took to avoid the trouble, "Father, listen. I think it is far too early to even consider making me take your place, even if it is just for a day." He walked ahead and paced around in a small circle, trying to come up with an alternate solution that would make both him and his father happy, and then a smile set on his face, "I have an idea. Instead of being elder for a day, how about I start taking missions instead?" He had already given it some thought, but he was planning on doing it so that his father wouldn't be aware of him taking such dangerous tasks. He could get away from the responsibility of the elder, and earn money for other things he wanted to boot, "It will make me stronger and more knowledgeable, I'm sure. So it will help me be more prepared for the elder position." He had no recollection of ever going on the missions, which was where he started getting the idea that the way their society worked was beyond bad, and inevitably led to his and Fumiko's downfall.
