I played some games with Kouta and Mitsuki yesterday.
I couldn't beat them at all.
Onee-chan!
What?
Were you calling me?
Oh... S-Sorry, it was a mistake...
Like calling your teacher "Mum"?
I'm so embarrassed!
Mum!
Shino!
Calm down!

(surii tsuu wan goo!)
(スリー・ツー・ワン ゴー!)
Three Two One Go!
Together with Onee-chan
Everyone's done that at least once or twice.
Youko and Shinobu seem like sisters sometimes.
We've known each other a long time.
Really?
Shino and I have been friends since elementary school.
Not long after we started school...
What did you have for breakfast?
A yoghurt.
I had a yoghurt, too.
What kind of yoghurt?
A kiwi yoghurt.
Me, too!
Kiwis are so cool, aren't they?
Really cool.
I wish I were a kiwi.
Shinobu-chan, what are you doing?
Trash can
I'm looking for my sister.
You won't find her in there.
You were lost?
You sure are hopeless, aren't you?
This is my sister's class.
Oh, you brought Shinobu here?
You're... Youko-chan, right?
While she's at school,
could you look after my sister for me?
Huh?
She's a bit absent-minded, so I worry that she'll get into trouble.
I know!
If anything happens, use this.
Personal
Alarm
I'll come running.
Wow
That's not what that's for!
Wow
She is pretty absent-minded.
She seems like the type who'd get kidnapped.
Youko-chan, you're just like a big sister.
I need to protect her in place of her sister.
We're being followed.
This the right way to use a personal alarm!
What's going on here?
Onee-san!
And that's how we got to be what we are now.
I feel like that turned into a story about Isa-nee somewhere along the way...
Ooh
I see.
Youko, you definitely do...
Um...
Act like an older sister?
Yes, exactly!
Ayaya, you...
What?
You act like an Ayaya.
What does that mean?!
Aya-chan.
Will you help me study?
Sure.
How did your last test go, Shino?
Not very well...
You got a zero?
You call that "not very well"?
You couldn't have scored any lower.
This score's unbelievaball.
A ball?
Nevermind.
Here, sit down.
There's a make-up test,
so just remember what I teach you and you'll be fine.
Let's get to work.
Yes, a ball.
X equals five here...
Yes, a ball.
Hot...
Calculate this first, and...
Yes, a ball.
I solved it, a ball.
Oh, come on!
I didn't mean to say it that way!
You don't have to keep repeating it!
What?
I thought it was going to be on the test...
You don't need to remember that.
Will you teach me, too?
Oh, sure.
Me, too.
Teach me as well, please.
In that case, why don't we have a study party?
I'm kinda nervous.
Is this your first time meeting Isa-nee?
I've seen her plenty of times in magazines.
Really?
I don't look at fashion magazines much.
Yes, as a hugely popular high school fashion model,
many girls admire Isami!
Excitement!
How many autographs will she give me?
You only came to Japan recently, didn't you?
Excuse the intrusion.
Welcome.
What brings you all here today?
Hey, Isa-nee.
We're here to study.
Um, this is for everyone in the house to share.
How nice of you.
Thank you.
My name is Kujou Karen.
I became a fan of yours after seeing you in a magazine.
If you don't mind, I was hoping to get your autograph.
Karen's Japanese just got fluent!
Why?
Aya-chan, this problem...
For this one, use this equation.
Onee-chan, will you show me how to do this?
Sure, but it'll cost you.
You want money?
Give me one of your treasured possessions or something.
Very well.
In that case...
I'll give you one of my most treasured possessions: a Venetian mask!
I don't want that thing.
You call my treasure "that thing"?!
It's almost lunchtime.
Growl
Aya, did your stomach just growl?
It wasn't me.
It must have been you.
What?
No.
Then, it must have been Alice!
It was you, wasn't it?
I-It wasn't me.
Ah-
I'm sorry!
Ah-
I lied!
It was my stomach that growled!
Aya-chan made us lunch.
Amazing.
You made all this yourself?
You're such a good cook.
What?
You'll make a good wife, Aya.
No, I...
That's not true, silly!
That smile looks so happy!
Let's eat.
It looks perfect, but the flavour's not quite there.
In fact, there's barely any flavour.
But that smile... I can't say anything that might hurt her.
How is it?
Um, it's good...
It doesn't have much flavour.
Can't you be a bit more sensitive?!
Thanks for the food.
Aya-chan, I bet you'd look great in Japanese clothing.
You mean these clothes don't suit me?
Of course they do.
I think your choice of outfit looks great on you.
The most important thing is to wear clothes that look good on you.
Teehee
Does this really look that good on me?
You're blushing!
Excuse the intrusion.
What a cool camera.
Karen-chan?
What are you doing in my room?
I-I'm sorry for entering without your permission!
It's okay...
No!
Not the police!
Anything but the police!
It's my friend calling.
I don't mind having my picture taken,
but I like taking pictures even more.
Will someone pose for me?
Okay, Aya-chan, pose.
What, me?
U-Um...
Huh?
Um... Can you take pictures of me as if I'm a model?
Sure.
But instead of taking them here,
why don't we go to the park nearby?
This place brings back memories.
I used to play here with Onee-chan when we were little.
Really?
You've grown so much, Shinobu.
Where did that come from?
Are you ready?
Yes.
It's time to show the results of my daily practising in front of the mirror!
Try to make your poses more natural.
No way!
Isa-nee, let's take one together.
Okay.
Shinobu, will you take the picture?
Sure.
Are you ready?
Wait a second.
I'm embarrassed to stand next to a model.
It makes my face look bigger.
Let's stand a little farther back.
I'm taking the picture now.
Okay.
Hey now...
Thank you for today.
I'll give Shinobu the photos when they've been developed.
If you don't mind,
can you please show them to a model photographer?
Isami, please put in a good word for us.
We'll see...
Isami!
You two...
This is the English girl staying at your house?
Yeah.
I know she speaks Japanese, but what's it like living with her?
Have you got used to it?
It's like having two really cute little sisters.
You really do have a sister complex, don't you?
When we were little,
Absent-minded
Shinobu was an absent-minded child,
and I was always worried about her...
But recently,
maybe because she found something she's passionate about,
she seems to have it together a little more than she used to.
Wear this one next.
And put on this dress after that.
Come on.
I'm a little worried about my sister's future.
What are they doing?
Come on.
Youko, I'm sure this comes a bit late,
but you should wear your uniform properly.
That really did come late...
I wear it properly at ceremonies.
You should dress properly all the time.
The buttons are choking me.
T-This is kind of like...
Why are you blushing?
Well?
It looks nice.
I haven't seen you like this since the entrance ceremony.
You look very mature.
How do I usually look?
Youko, we want to ask you something.
What?
Hey, where's Youko?
Where is Youko?
Youko?
Where are you?
Where is she?
You can't be serious!
Youko?
Youko, let's arm wrestle.
Arm wrestle you?
Ready... go!
There!
I won...
I won!
Aw.
I lost.
Now I could take on a bear!
I'm not a bear, you know!
Like this?
What is that stance?
Are you okay, Karen?
Youko.
Are you taking those to your classroom?
I'll help you.
Thank you.
That helps a lot.
Okay, let's go.
Hey...
Thank you.
You're always there to lend a hand when I need it.
Everyone should have a friend like you.
Well, thanks.
You're always standing around quietly and smiling,
but you're listening to everything we have to say.
I'd feel reassured if I met you on the street at night.
Yes, you're just like a convenience store!
That's not a compliment.
Shino, what's that mountain of paper?
Fliers for overseas trips.
My sister almost threw them away yesterday.
They may look like ordinary pieces of paper,
but they're my treasure.
Fold, fold.
Aya, are you feeling ill?
I have a bit of a cold.
Are you okay?
Do you have a fever?
W-What if my fever rises?!
What?!
Here.
Wear a mask.
Thanks.
One pork bun, please.
Drop the convenience store thing.
I wonder what everyone thinks of me...
I have no idea.
Let's try expressing it using a pie chart.
Blonde
Cute
Hairpin
Pigtails
Small
Like this one.
Youko-chan, your pie chart...
Comedic Retorts!!
looks like this.
Comedic Retorts!!
Just what am I?!
Stare...
Hey!
What are you writing?
The curiosity's killing me!
I'm making a revised Youko pie chart.
After observing you today, I realised that this graph was incorrect.
In other words, I'm not just here to make retorts?
That is why I've made this revised version.
And this is the chart Shino made.
Do you see the difference?
Stop!
Everyone's looking!
Kindness
Comedic Retorts!
Kindness
Comedic Retorts!
As you can see, half of you is made up of kindness.
Oh, come on.
You're embarrassing me.
But the other half is still comedic retorts.
By the way, I made an Ayaya pie chart, too.
For me?
Intelligent
Shy
What does the largest section represent?
Youko, of course.
Aya's pie chart?
Let me see.
I-It may not be 0%, but it's 5% at the most!
What are you talking about?
Are you sure you don't have a fever, Aya?
I don't have a fever at all.
Don't get the wrong idea.
Youko-chan does seem nice, like an older sister or a mother.
I don't remember becoming your mum, Shino.
Now that you mention it,
Shino accidentally called Youko "Onee-chan" the other day.
Youko does seem like an older sister.
You think so?
I'm an only child.
I wish I had an older sister.
I'm an only child, too.
So am I.
I wish I had an older sister like you, Youko.
That kinda makes me happy.
Youko Onee-chan.
What is it, little sis?
O-Onee-chan...
Stare...
I have a question.
Do you have any siblings, Sensei?
I-I'm the youngest of three.
I have two Onii-chans...
Onii-chan?
I-I mean, two older brothers.
Let's get back to the lesson.
Shino, are you going to the faculty office?
Yes.
You don't get lost around school anymore, huh?
I'm not in elementary school.
You don't need to hold my hand.
I'm okay by myself.
Is something wrong?
I just started feeling a little sad.
Since we started high school,
and especially since Alice and Karen showed up,
it feels like Shino's changed.
When the three of them are together,
Shino looks like their older sister.
She looks like a captured space alien to me.
You're ruining my moment!
You don't have to worry about her.
Shino can manage on her own.
I agree.
Me, too.
For example, if she were abandoned in the middle of a desert,
Such strong wind...
she seems as if she'd come back home like nothing happened.
If she were stranded on an uninhabited island,
she seems like she could live well.
If she got lost on Mount Everest...
What kind of person do you think Shino is?!
I know you view Shino as your little sister.
It's been that way since elementary school.
But since I'm the oldest child, I wish I had an older sister.
Not that I don't like my younger siblings, though.
Youko, you call Isami "Isa-nee".
Yeah, guess I do.
Youko-chan, you're like a little sister to me.
Really?
Yes, I like you a lot.
Then, is it all right if I call you Isa-nee?
Of course.
Isa-nee.
What time is it?
It's...
12:55.
Has your sister complex escalated?
You think so?

My sister was scouted to become a model.
That's amazing.
She was scouted right around here.
Maybe we'll be scouted, too.
We're just waiting to be scouted, huh?
20 Minutes Later
I thought you two had gone home already.
Onee-chan, how about this outfit?
Is it cute?
I think something else would suit you better.
Is it cute?
What could it be?!
More than a maid outfit?
What could it be?!
What about a kimono?
It would suit your face
What could it be?!
It would suit your face
I wish I could line lots of you up on my dresser.
That would just make me a wooden doll!
Golden Alice, Golden Karen
But it'd be so cute...
Golden Alice, Golden Karen
