I won't allow this!
How could I accept someone who claims to be Onii-chan's fiancée as the dormitory manager?
I've stayed quiet until now,
but this time I won't budge.
It's been a week already.
Are you still unconvinced?
It's not like we could just tell her to leave.
Well, age-wise, I guess it's a little problematic.
Beyond that, her personality and pedigree are outstanding.
Ability-wise she's perfect as well.
We'd definitely be punished if we refused to allow...
...such an amazing person to work for us for almost nothing.
Nasuhara-san, what do you think?
Oh? I approve of her.
That pure gaze, those lustrous lips, those soft, peach-like cheeks...
I've already become a slave to her charms.
I want nothing more than to be near her and lie next to her as she falls asleep.
I-I'll admit that she's cute.
But for her to be Onii-chan's fiancée...
Isn't she from an old and prestigious family?
For daughters from such families,
the parents always want to have a say in what they do.
That's right.
Marrying Alisa was just something that her parents got all excited about on their own, anyway.
That's irrelevant when Alisa-chan looks like she's more than willing to do it.
Ginbei-san, what do you think?
I guess I'm fine with it.
There've been no problems so far.
On top of that, she looks like she has a lot of experience with housework.
I'm really impressed.
I'm not going to raise a fuss over this engagement.
When you're a child, you say a lot of things you don't really mean.
Exactly.
It's like how sometimes a daughter says she wants to marry her father.
Glad to hear it.
If you turned out to have a lolita complex,
I'd have to force it out of you.
What exactly do you mean by "force"?
Do you really want to know?
I think I'll pass.
Hey, Akito.
Setting lolita complexes aside,
would you happen to prefer girls with more petite, childlike bodies?
Why do you ask?
Oh, nothing special, I was just curious.
Rather than girls with a stunning figure,
I was wondering if you preferred girls who don't mature as quickly.
Not particularly, sorry.
I see.
I'm very interested, though.
Nobody asked you.
In summary, other than Himenokouji Akiko,
we all approve of the new manager.
My opinion won't change.
If I approved of Alisa-chan,
I would be weakening my sole advantage as Onii-chan's little sister.
And what's wrong with that?
Now you can aim for the position of sister-in-law.
S-Sister-in-law?!
Can you think it over one more time, Akiko?
The Takanomiya family was a new environment,
and in the beginning I had several difficulties.
Alisa helped me out a ton back then.
I guess it sounds pathetic, but I really relied on the help of a girl four years younger than me.
To me, Alisa is...
Hmm...
How do I put it?
Yes, if I had to put it into words...
She's another little sister who's a bit younger than me.
Ah, I'm sorry!
Was that description insufficient?
I'll introduce you to Akiko one more time, from the beginning.
To me, Alisa is indispensable.
She isn't just "someone I happened to live with".
She's someone I shared a lot of precious time with.
She's someone I'm very close to; I suppose I could call her "family".
So yeah, if I had to say it, she's like a blood-related sister to me.
So it would make me really happy if you two could get along with each other.
I'm afraid that's impossible.
Onii-chan, you just said Alisa-chan is like a blood-related sister to you, didn't you?
Yes, I did.
I, Himenokouji Akiko, am your one and only little sister,
the only one deserving of your love.
You don't need two little sisters.
We should have Alisa-chan go home immediately!
A 12-year-old girl is trying her best to fit in with everyone at this dorm.
Send the poor thing home?
You should pity me as much as you do her.
I was separated from Onii-chan for six years.
To be exact, 5 years, 1 month, 24 days, 6 hours and 32 minutes.
I constantly had to endure being alone without Onii-chan.
To treat me like this after all that, you're being far too thoughtless.
When I finally thought I had the chance to live together with Onii-chan, those student council members just barged in,
and on top of that, this girl who calls herself Onii-chan's fiancée is trying to rob me of my position as little sister.
Could it get any worse?
A-Akiko-neesama.
I'm sorry, this is all Alisa's fault.
Ah, don't cry Alisa.
You haven't done anything wrong.
Onii-chan, who's more important?
A sister who's not related to you or a realister?
Let's not argue over something as pointless as who is more important.
And what is a realister?
A brand of rice?
Realister - Real blood-related sister. (TO BE ADDED to national Japanese dictionary)
Akiko Rice Village
It's a word I came up with just now.
I hope it will become something that will make it into the dictionary one day.
I really don't think that word will become common enough for that to happen.
Anyway, I am your realister whom you should love, your lover and your wife.
There is no way I can accept someone who just shows up and claims to be your fiancée.
Akiko-neesama, do you hate Alisa?
No, I don't hate you.
Then is it that you don't want to get along with Alisa?
I guess so.
You're a roadblock that threatens the relationship between me and Onii-chan.
But... Alisa wants to be friends with Akiko-neesama.
I want to go shopping together and drink tea together.
I have no obligation to get along with you.
I'm not going to do it even if you make that face.
My determination is as solid as diamond.
No means no!
Listen to what I'm saying.
Come on, you two.
You can take your time and become friends slowly.
Okay, Akiko?
Akiko?
Blindfold: Big Brother — Big Brother
This is my "I only see my brother" mask.
I don't really care what your mask is called.
I want to know why you're wearing one.
I can't let myself get infected by any more of Alisa-chan's cuteness.
If she looks at me like a tiny animal,
how can I give her the cold shoulder?
Let's love the way we want, everyone is cuter!

Man, today is the perfect day for a picnic.
Thanks for the food.
Wow, this is great.
Ah, Alisa made that.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say this is the best fried chicken I've ever had.
Alisa-kun taught me the secret Takanomiya recipe for it.
And for these boiled vegetables, too.
Oh, wow! This is good!
The level of food at our dormitory has gone up again.
I was worried everyone wouldn't like my food,
so I'm really glad it turned out okay.
If you don't mind, I want to introduce you all to more and more of the Takanomiya family's recipes.
Oh dear, you're so small and we made you worry so much.
Don't worry, Alisa-san.
Keep making delicious dishes for us and make us happy.
Yes, Anastasia-neesama.
And not just recipes.
There are other things I want you to show me.
For example, I want you to tell me what kinds of clothes you prefer and what kind of underwear you like to wear.
Well... um... uh...
Hey, hey, Nasuhara-san.
You're sounding like a stalker.
How rude!
If you keep calling me a criminal,
one day I'll take you to court and sue you for slander.
I just want to take pictures of Alisa-san in the bath,
sniff the clothes she was wearing and exchange more than 100 emails per day professing our love for each other.
I guess this might end up in court.
With you on trial.
Hmph. Takanomiya Alisa, you've screwed up!
Oh, here comes the sister-in-law.
Don't call me sister-in-law!
Onii-chan, what did you think of Alisa-chan's handmade omelets when you tasted them?
What did I think?
I thought they were delicious.
The soup stock had soaked in, so they were very juicy.
No, Onii-chan.
Omelets should have a little more sugar in them.
You said so yourself.
Huh, I did?
When?
Let's see...
It was 11 years, 3 months, 12 days and 4 hours ago.
No wait, it was 5 hours and 21 minutes ago.
Huh?
Everyone, what's wrong?
Since no one remembers,
aren't you just making it up?
How rude!
I am the Onii-chan meister.
I have no need for lies!
Please try to remember.
Onii-chan, try to remember the first time I made a bento for you.
Akiko-neesama, you're amazing.
Listen, Akiko.
I liked the taste of the omelet I just had.
There was nothing wrong with it.
Aren't you making a mountain out of a molehill with stories from our childhood?
Exactly!
She just admitted it!
I just wanted to say that Alisa-chan did something wrong.
No matter how small it was.
All right, then how about this?
Why don't you have a contest to decide this?
Contest?
That's right.
Himenokouji Akiko, you can decide what the contest will be.
However, if Takanomiya Alisa wins,
you will stop it with these complaints forever.
You got it?
Fine.
It's a contest then, Alisa-chan.
Alisa will try her best so that Akiko-neesama will accept me!
Milk
First up is the swing contest.
This contest will determine whether or not you have swing riding skills worthy of a little sister.
TL note: Buranko means swing set and burakon means brother complex.
Swing set, brother complex, swing set, brother complex.
For a first event, this one is rather difficult.
I think you owe all the swing sets in the country an apology.
So all I need to do is ride a swing?
That's right.
Yay! Yay!
It seems like I will be the winner of this competition.
It was 12 years, 6 months, 7 days, 1 hour and 3 minutes ago.
I was too afraid to move while sitting on a swing.
Onii-chan smiled gently at me and said,
"Akiko, you're such a scaredy cat.
There's no helping it.
I'll push you from behind."
So, in other words,
the correct action here would be to sit and wait for three minutes for Onii-chan's response.
It's been a long time since we had fun on a swing set.
Isn't it fun, Nii-sama?
Look, there's a cat.
So, Alisa-chan, what would you do in this situation?
Here, kitty, kitty.
If you approach the cat so leisurely,
you won't be able to trigger Onii-chan's impulse to protect his little sister.
You have to be more hesitant as you approach it.
Ow!
Are you okay, Akiko?
I was able to trigger his protective impulse, but...
...this wasn't quite what I had in mind.
You need athletic ability to play with Onii-chan.
If Onii-chan thinks you aren't a match for him,
he won't spend as much time playing with you.
Here we go, Alisa-chan!
You're quite formidable, Alisa-chan.
I think you just self-destructed for the most part.
You were able to make a comeback in some difficult places.
However, I'll admit that, just by a little-
a tiny, tiny little bit-you won.
S-So...
Don't misunderstand.
I'm only accepting you as the new dormitory manager.
I am Onii-chan's fiancée and will be his wife.
There is no place for you anywhere.
Um, Akito-niisama.
Sorry about all this.
It's all right.
Um, I'm sorry if what I'm about to say is out of line.
Being human is all about making mistakes.
So I don't mind if we head down an improper path.
Don't be afraid to tell us.
Isn't it wrong for Akiko-neesama to be attracted to Akito-niisama since you're her real brother?
I'm sorry!
Was that really out of line?
I still don't know much about the dormitories or St. Lilliana Academy.
No, no, you're not wrong at all.
We just got too used to hearing about Himenokouji's brother complex every day.
It's something so completely and utterly obvious,
but somehow I stopped feeling uneasy about it.
So, what does Himenokouji-san think regarding that statement?
Hey, Akiko.
Alisa is asking you if it's wrong for you to fall in love with your blood-related brother.
LA LA LA! I can't hear you!
Give her a proper answer that she can accept.
You're the older sister here.
Akiko-neesama, falling in love with someone who is related to you by blood isn't acceptable morally or legally.
If you keep saying that you love Akito-niisama,
it will be troubling to those around you, like your family, your relatives and your friends.
And most importantly, for Akito-niisama.
Don't you agree?
Are you okay, Akiko-neesama?
That was more effective than I thought.
We can tell from here.
Out of the mouths of babes...
However!
No matter what people say,
the love between Onii-chan and me will persevere.
So give up on Onii-chan, Alisa-chan.
No, I won't!
In order to return Akiko-neesama to the proper path,
Alisa won't lose to you.
You won't lose?
Do you think you can win against me?
Even when we were separated,
even though we're connected by blood,
my love for Onii-chan never wavered.
It seems like you finally understand.
The difference between our positions is evident.
As Onii-chan's sister, I've been by his side since I was born.
Alisa is his fiancée.
Oh, did you say something?
If you're going to surrender, you're going to have to say it louder.
Alisa is Nii-sama's fiancée!
Alisa isn't connected to Nii-sama by blood,
and while it wasn't for as long as Akiko-neesama,
Alisa lived with him for a long time, too.
Alisa is more worthy of Nii-sama than you are!
I'm sorry for yelling.
I've done a shameless thing.
Oh really?
Is that so?
So you plan on getting in our way to the very end?
Alisa loves Nii-sama very much.
No, I love Onii-chan more than you do.
That's not true.
I love him even more than you do.
I love him more...
Alisa loves him more...
...more more...
more... more...
Are you two done?
So, which one?
I hate to admit it, but Alisa-chan and I love you about the same amount.
Who do you love more?
Alisa or Akiko-neesama?
Please pick one.
Wow, I'm so fortunate.
Alisa is such a good girl.
You're humble, smart and kind.
You always think about the people around you,
and you never shy away from helping others.
And Akiko.
Yes!
I don't think there's anyone as wonderful as you.
You're tactful, hard-working, and most importantly,
your bright personality brings smiles to those around you.
Oh no, not at all.
So, you see, I can't choose either one of you.
Because both of you are precious little sisters to me.
Love for little sisters must be divided equally without discrimination.
You're both my darling little sisters.
You two understand that much, right?
Well, looking at it objectively, it was obvious.
In other words, Himenokouji Akito doesn't see either of you as women.
N-No way.
What a disappointment.
I realised something.
Alisa-chan, you're not a dangerous rival.
In fact, you're the opposite.
Akiko-neesama?
We know Onii-chan better than anyone in the world,
and love him more than anyone in the world,
but because we're his little sisters, our advantage is meaningless.
Alisa-chan, the two of us are similar:
we're friends who can share the same sadness.
Akiko-neesama.
We should overcome our differences as rivals and help each other.
Don't you agree?
Absolutely, Akiko-neesama.
Enemies yesterday, friends tomorrow!
Hey, Alisa.
Why did you want to be friends with Akiko?
Huh?
Akiko treated you like an enemy in the beginning, right?
I was worried you wouldn't like her because of that.
No way.
Akiko-neesama was the only one...
She was the only one who recognised me as an equal rather than as a child.
What do you mean?
She recognised my claim that I am your fiancée.
I see.
Alisa-chan, it's time for our strategy meeting.
Okay!
On my way, Akiko-neesama.
Alisa-chan, here you go.
Thanks!
i luv you, bro!
These are our "I love big brother" T-shirts.
Or in short, "I luv you bro" T-shirts.
Now, Alisa-chan, together!
I luv you bro!
Alisa-chan, that's too soft.
Say it loudly. Project!
Go!
I luv you bro!
