It’s hard not to be curious, isn’t it?
Knock, knock, knock.
"Good morning, Mother. Is Joan here?"
"Yes, she is. Come on in."
Click.
"Excuse me. Found you~ Joan! We’ve been looking for you!"
"G-good morning, Brother Noel, Brother Gene."
"”Oh, Father, Mother, good morning.””
"Noel, Gene, good morning. What’s the matter? You seem to have been in a hurry to find Joan."
"Yes, well… my glasses don’t fit anymore."
"Your glasses? Why’s that?"
"It’s strange… but I can see perfectly without them now."
"””Wha~~~!?"””
Father, Mother, and I all shouted in unison.
"Search Open"

"This too, huh?"
Father’s Gendo Pose suits him.
"Oh, it goes well in bread too~"
Mother, I’ll make some for you soon.
"Whoa—Jo, what is that? How can I see your Search results!? How did you do it? Tell me~ Tell me, come on~"
Brother Noel, calm down.
"Hey, Jo. What’s ice cream? Can you make it?"
Brother Gene, the ever-relaxed foodie.
"Pfft! ‘Hello to the new you'—haha, haha… ouch!"
Gray, you’re hooked on my Search results.
Ah, Nancy finally whacked Gray on the head. Even though Gray guarded his body, she totally read his moves.
"So, Noel, do you really not need glasses anymore?"
"Yes, Father. I can see fine without them."
Brother Noel used to look like a smart, intimidatingly handsome intellectual with his glasses, but without them, he’s just a plain handsome guy. He’s bound to attract even more women now...
"Father, me too... I feel amazing. I’ve been struggling to go in the morning, but now everything’s fine."
"I-I see. That’s good to hear."
Brother Gene managed to solve his constipation problem.
If only he ate more vegetables, he wouldn’t have suffered. But constipation isn’t a joke. Maybe that’s why he had so many pimples...
"Hey, Joan. I’d like to see what your Search says about dried Nababa fruit."
Oh, I knew it. You’re curious, huh?

"Wrinkles, spots..."
Mother, Nancy, you’re both still young—don’t worry about it.
Or better yet, let’s not casually say that out loud.
"Jo, what’s a muffin? Is it a dessert?"
Brother Gene, you’ll gain weight.
"”Ha! Haha... 'Say goodbye to fat'—haha, haha..."”
Oh no, even Father is cracking up.
And Gray? He’s laughing from a safe distance away from Nancy.
"Amazing! My Jo is amazing! So amazing and adorable!!"
Brother Noel, your comments are somehow disappointing.
"A-ahaha…"
At this point, all I can do is laugh.
