Igoss Cropp/Plot

Plot
Igoss and his wife are about to force Rean to come back home with them when Gugu interrupts them. The man who previously tried to catch Rean recognizes Gugu, which he loudly exclaims. Igoss then turns to Gugu and concludes that he must be the one who led his daughter astray, paying no attention to Rean's arguing. While Booze Man is busy with refilling Gugu's stomach cavity, Igoss explains to Pioran that Rean would always throw tantrums and use them as excuses to run away. However, he doesn't see these actions as a problem, to which Pioran wonders if the fact that he doesn't acknowledge this problem could be the real problem, indirectly criticizing his methods of raising Rean. Igoss doesn't reply, while fully understanding Pioran's intentions, and instead tries to force Rean to leave. Gugu pulls on his sleeve to stop him from leaving, to which Igoss politely asks Gugu to stay out of the matter, but Gugu doesn't back down. Rean uses this distraction to free herself from her father's grasp and takes cover behind Gugu. Her father is confused about this, stating that he has done everything in his power to protect her from embarrassing herself, to which Rean replies that she wants to have more freedom and embarrass herself every once in a while. This seems to make Igoss realize something. After Gugu has left, he tries to leave with Rean again, but Pioran blocks the door.

The next morning, Gugu cooks food for everyone including Rean's parents. Despite not being particularly fond of Gugu, they have to admit that he is a better cook than their own.

At Rean's 16th birthday, Igoss introduces his daughter to the young man him and his wife picked out for Rean to marry. When then mansion collapses from the Nokker attacking, Gugu saves Rean's parents after both of them are hurt and unable to save themselves.

After Rean finds out about Gugu's fate and stays out until late at night, her father finds her laying in the grass at the cliff where the Dreambell Flowers bloom. He scolds her, saying that it's bad for her health, and then sits down in the grass as well. Rean tells him that she doesn't want to marry because she loves someone else. to which her father asks who that person is and says that he wants to meet them immediately. However, Rean responds that that person is already gone.
