There was another reason for liking it though, as it was a clear indication of the fact that one of his daughters was there. As seeing costumes or a sparkling bathroom told him that other daughters were there, the sound of beer bottles clinking said that there was another daughter there. And that was something that he was very pleased to have available.
Of course, his eldest girl did tend to drink a lot, but Misato wasn't a bad girl by any means. Sure, she could be a bit overly relaxed, but if one wanted someone skilled in planning and working out problems, she was the one to call. She just happened to be a bit loose about her cleaning up after herself. In fact, she was the one of his daughters who would actually enjoy drinking with him.
Unfortunately, something rather traumatic had happened to her when she'd been working at that scientific research station. Whatever that explosion had been, it had left her with scars, both mental and physical. The one on her body was bad enough, but there was something hidden deep in her psyche that she wouldn't talk about. Not that the lab overseers had felt that it was something to mark against her, as she was given some sort of long term treatment after that 'incident' happened.
Now she was a very extroverted person who had a tendency towards drinking and acting fast. Of course, she was still a very pretty young woman who definitely could turn some heads. People had commented that she was someone that they wanted to know, and she had little trouble dealing with other people.
Soun just wondered about what had happened to her during that explosion, and what that had left her with. Whatever it was, she seemed to be okay, though there were always questions to be asked. And it was those latter problems that kept him asking himself how he could have let her get into that sort of situation.
Tears ran down his face as he considered his daughters' various situations, and was certain that he could only blame himself for what had happened to them. After all, if he hadn't messed up, and had to sell them off, he'd have had them home and being raised up in a happy and caring home. Out of his daughters, it seemed that only Kasumi had not been forced to go through some sort of trouble, and even she had been taken away from all that she'd known to work for others. Every time he considered how his babies being dropped into some strange place without any support, he found himself sobbing. As his tears were already pouring down his face, he make great big gasps of noise that basically sounded rather pathetic. However, he didn't care, as he had his daughters back and had the combined sadness over what they had gone through, and the joy of their returns.
And soon Genma would be bringing his son, and the boy would be getting what the two fathers had been planning on giving him for so long. That young man would be getting to have Soun's precious babies for slaves, which was something that would be greatly celebrated.
Had he noticed how strange it was that he'd spent years trying to get his daughters back, only to be happy to give them away, he didn't notice, as he cried with a smile, while:
