    Chapters 48 and up begin the story of raising a child from birth. It's very slice-of-life, focusing on the father-son relationship. The little boy is incredibly cute, the family's darling, and his interactions with his father are heartwarming. The father dotes on his son, even spanking him when he misbehaves, only to comfort him afterwards. From chapter 56 onwards, the little boy starts causing trouble, constantly troubling his father. After that, his bottom is never still; he's either getting spanked or on his way to get one. Chapters 58, 65, 69, 71, 73, 75, 79, 80, 83, 88, 90, 110, 143, and 162 all feature scenes of him getting spanked.
