Incidentally...
[That's not a promising way to start a dinner conversation.]
If my daughter ever arrives here, about how embarrassing would it be if I tried to set you up on a date with her?

Been thinking about it for a while, actually - are you alright?
[Please don't choke on tea, he knows that's unpleasant.]
[Please don't choke on tea, he knows that's unpleasant.]
[ After a few more seconds of coughing: ] I-I...I'm fine, thanks.
[ She may not be choking anymore, but there's no hiding that flushed face of hers. ]
Um...you said you've been thinking about it for a while...?
[ She doesn't outright say it, but there's definitely an implication of "but why" in her voice. Not that she's opposed to the idea; she's sure that his daughter is a very lovely girl, but...it's not every day that one just thinks about whom another would be a good couple with...unless you're Fukawa. ]

You'd get along well, I'm sure of that much. And I think a date with a nice, trustworthy girl would be good for Lobco, and I think a date with a sweet, beautiful girl might be fun for you.
But, well, humans are terribly picky about what gender they date sometimes...
[That 'straight' thing makes more sense when you understand how differently human reproduction works, but it doesn't make it easier to inquire about.]

Oh, no, that's not the problem...
[ Cherryblod, seriously. Have you seen her. ]
It's just that...well. Um. [ She's already been down this road twice, once with Fukawa and once with her brother. She doesn't want to go down it again, so she'll be honest this time. ] ...I don't really have any experience with that sort of thing? N-Not that I haven't been asked out before! It's just...I kinda turned them down? O-Oh, but I'm not a heartbreaker or anything like that! It's just that everyone who's asked me out were either my friends' exes or like really creepy old guys...

So of course you turned them down. [He sounds sympathetic.] There's no reason to rush to get experience - I completely agree.
[Also those creepy old men can die.]
Are you worried you wouldn't be any good at dating? It really isn't as hard as it sounds.

Would you like to know a secret, Komaru dear, that they don't tell young people?
[He doesn't wait long for an answer.]
The important thing is to be kind and communicate with your partner. Everything else is secondary. And you seem to have being kind down just fine already, so I don't think you'll have trouble.

...Really? It's that simple?
[ Manga made it look super easy, but...it's manga, and as much as Komaru would love to live in her favorite manga fantasies, she knows it's not possible. ]
I always thought dating was a lot more complicated than that. I mean, before my friends started dating, I'd see them always worry about the people they liked...

That's because they're young. They're worried that if they do the littlest thing wrong that things won't work out between them, and that if things don't work out it'll be the end of the world.
But little things don't matter, and if they do matter then you can resolve them by talking about it. And even if, for some reason or another, that relationship doesn't work out - you move on. You have plenty of time.

I've dated more more people than you ever will unless you try very, very hard. Trust me on this.
[And don't try to outdo him.]
[And don't try to outdo him.]
Just one date. Promise I won't pressure you into anything more than that - if you don't click, that's fine.
[but it would be great if you got married though]

My darling Lobco is kind and loyal. She's dedicated to her work and her family, and is one of the most reliable people you could ever turn to. She's sweet, if a little shy.
Unfortunately she's easily bullied, but I know you wouldn't hurt her.

O-Of course not!
[ She hasn't even met the girl or went out on a date with her, and already does she feel obligated to prove herself as a good candidate. Good going, Komaru. ]
But she really does sound like a nice girl, though. You must be really proud of her, huh?

[Komaru will do fiiiiine.]
Couldn't be more proud if I tried. I'm the luckiest father in the world to have such a wonderful girl.

I'm sure she's glad to have you as her father, too.
[ There's a faint sadness to her smile. She may have said she'll keep hope that her and Makoto's parents are still alive, but it doesn't make it any easier that she doesn't know their whereabouts or their conditions...but now's not the time for her to be getting sentimental over that. ]

I hope so.
[He does his best, anyway.
...The tinge of sadness doesn't go unnoticed, but what can he say to make her smile a little more genuine...]
Really, though, you don't have to date my daughter to be part of my family. ...If that's something you would like.

[She's having a hard time believing what she's hearing right now, and all of this because of a simple slip of the tongue...]
W-what do you mean, a "practice date"?

[Welcome to the Not-So-Dark AU, where there are still Warriors of Hope and robot Monokumas, but they're at cartoon supervillain levels of bad.
But they're still enemies who need to be taken on! That's why Rock Lee, the Super High School Level Hot-Blooded Hardworker of Youth, has been taking Komaru under his wing and trying to train her for their coming fight. Lee can't do it alone, and Komaru is the only person available to help! Because everyone else has been kidnapped, or something.
Lee's grown very fond of her during this time, but he doesn't want to let it interferer with her training. Especially not on the day before the Big Showdown! At the end of this workout, Lee flexes as he calls out to her.]
Komaru-san! Please tell me! Do you feel absolutely, positively ready for this hot-blooded showdown?! It could define our youths!

[ Ah...she'd been found out. Of course he'd notice - she doesn't know why she had been expecting otherwise, but that doesn't stop her from trying to deflect the issue, dismissing the subject with a sheepish laugh. ]
O-Oh, no, really, I'm fine! No need to worry about me. I mean, onii-chan's here, so I'm not lonely...
[ Even if she'd like nothing more than to go back to the days before the Tragedy, when she, her brother, and her parents were...a normal, happy family. ]

[ Honestly, she has no idea how a normal girl like her got pulled into this mess in the first place, but she supposes that there's no turning back now - especially not that she's gotten this far and have had to endure weeks of intensive training and workout after workout. She honestly has her doubts about this battle, but she may as well go all the way, right? ]
...I'm not so sure about that "absolutely, positively" part, but I'm as ready as I'll ever be, I guess.
[ She's actually a ball of nerves right now, but. Lee doesn't need to know that. ]
