Stardust Witch Meruru is starting!
She is no longer one of you!
Kirino-san?
She is Dark Witch Meruru!
It is you, Kirino-san!
Y-You!
What are you doing here?
Um...
I'm here for my circle.
Y-You're an otaku?
Kinda...
But I never would have thought I'd run into you here, Kirino-san!
Hey, you.
Are you an acquaintance of Kirino's?
Yes!
I'm Kirino-san's... uh, how do I put this?
H-Hold on!
I want to be the one to introduce you.

boyfriend
There's no way my little sister would
bring her boyfriend home!
This is Mikagami Kouki-san.
He's a fashion model and designer whom Misaki-san hired.
He's in charge of a brand under Eternal Blue.
I work a lot outside of high school.
Nice to meet you.
Misaki-san...
Eternal Blue?
This is Misaki-san's company?
You participate in the Summer Comiket?
Technically, it's just my personal brand.
We're selling some jewelry that I designed.
It's so well done...
How much is it?
It's 500 yen.
500 yen...
Whatever the material, the craftsmanship is extraordinary.
This is what they call a professional gone rogue!
Not at all!
We met when Kirino-san wore my jewelry for a photo shoot,
and Misaki-san introduced us.
That's right.
And then we started hanging out, just the two of us.
But I didn't think we'd bump into each other at the Summer Comiket.
I didn't either.
Um, are you here for...
You are, right?
Yep! That's right.
Don't tell anyone, okay?
Okay.
She's opening up to him.
I'm keeping the same secret about me, so don't tell anyone either.
Well, this is turning out a lot better than the Ayase incident.
Why would you come all the way to set up a stall at the Summer Comiket?
I'm relieved.
She can finally talk to somebody at work about it.
Actually, I'm an otaku too.
I used to watch an anime called "Little Witch" when I was little.
It's really great.
Do you know it?
Know it? I have the Blu-ray box set!
What?
The one that just came out?
Nothing.
Yeah, that one!
What is it?
I recently decided to start collecting the greats.
I told you, it's nothing.
I know you don't mean it when you say it like that!
Then we should talk about it later.
Actually, I became a designer because of that anime!
What? Come on, you're pulling my leg.
Well, in the anime they had something called the "strap rod", right?
The heroine's...
Why am I handcuffed all of a sudden?
"Well, Onii-san, we're all alone in a room together..."
Gross, isn't it?
How did this happen...
Oh, Ayase?
I have something very, very important to discuss with you, Onii-san.
Will you please come over to my home tomorrow?
You're inviting me... to your home?
Yes. Is that okay?
Is that okay?
Who could resist such an adorably-phrased request?
Damn it!
That was a trap!
Ayase, you temptress!
Stop playing games with my schoolgirl heart!
Playing games? W-What are you talking about?
Well, I came here convinced that you were going to confess your feelings for me...
And then you do this!
I'd never confess to you!
You invited me over in such an adorable voice.
Anyone would make that mistake.
That was my normal voice!
Please stop sexually harassing me!
What's with that criminal look on your face?
I'll scream for my mom if you don't cut it out!
Oh? And just how would you go about explaining this?
A stalker came into my room and demanded that I handcuff him.
Would be my explanation.
That makes me sound ridiculously perverted.
Whatever.
What did you want to talk about?
Oh, right.
What the heck is this?

H-How did you get that?
That is completely beside the point!
You two are linking arms and look much too close for siblings!
Um... That...
Onii-san...
I've told you what I'd do, right...
...if you ever laid a hand on Kirino?
Wait!
Please don't kill me!
I-I have to say it stings to see you cowering from me like that.
But I just wanted to ask about the meaning of this.
That's not too much to ask, is it?
I'll explain.
It's a really long story.
I see.
The president...
So that sticker photo is just a prop, nothing sketchy.
All right?
That's a strange story.
President Misaki should have been at an event that day...
I-I'm not lying!
I'm not saying that you're lying, Onii-san.
Just that...
Whatever. Everything's fine.
I accept your explanation for the sticker photo.
I'm glad you understand.
By the way.
Yes?
Does Kirino have a boyfriend?
What do you mean?
What do you mean by that?!
Kirino doesn't have a boyfriend, right?!
There's no way she does, right?!
There's just no way, right?!
Please say she doesn't!
Kirino never...
What do you think?
As far as I know, Kirino doesn't have a boyfriend.
But there are a lot of people who are interested in her:
models, designers, a lot of amazing people.
I see.
What are you thinking about?
Should I try to guess?
Knock yourself out.
"If the guy we met at the Summer Comiket is Kirino's boyfriend,
then I'm no longer necessary."
Is that your Power of Darkness?
No.
I worked that out without using it.
How?
I always have my eye on you.
That can be misconstrued, you know.
I-I'm not worried about that.
Do you... like... me?
I do.
I like you just as much as your sister does, if not more.
Then that time when you kissed me...
That was...
That...
What are you doing out there?
Hurry up and come in.
Did something happen?
You could say that...
I can't really explain it.
Something definitely happened.
Well, let's start celebrating our success at the Summer Comiket.
Before we begin, I have something to announce.
What is it?
I'm in a relationship with Mikagami-san.
We've already kissed.
You-
What? Do you have something to say?
Of course you don't.
All right, let's begin the celebration!
Hey!
I refuse to be in the company of stupid children.
What's her problem? She ticks me off.
What was that?
What?
About your relationship or whatever!
Why tell us now?
Why do you think?
How would I know?
What were you trying to do?
What do you want me to do?
What?
That's your business. Why would you ask me?
Well, that's true.
Of course it is. What kind of joke are you trying to pull here?
Who I go out with is my own business!
That's what you said.
He makes for a better boyfriend than anyone else I know.
Unlike someone, he's handsome and rich and super talented!
We have so much to talk about, and we like the same things.
Plus, he swore he'd never cheat on me.
He listens to what I have to say and respects me.
Unlike a certain somebody.
What?
Nothing.
I see.
Oh well.
Let's clean this up.
Sorry.
It's just one of those days.
Human relationships come with trouble included.
It's true that my sister can't help but be a source of constant disruption.
I'm always getting caught up in whatever trouble she brews up.
But there might not be any coming back from this.
On August 17th, Kirino brought her boyfriend home.
Wow! You're a designer, Mikagami-san?
Yes.
Oh, I'd like you to have this.
Oh my, you didn't have to! Thank you.
Kyousuke!
Come say hi!
This is Kirino's boyfriend.
Hello, Kyousuke-kun.
Oh! Have you two already met?
Yes, we have.
That's my seat.
E-Excuse me!
Kyousuke!
What kind of attitude is that?
Where's Dad?
Today's his day off, right?
He's shut himself up in his room.
So, what are you doing here?
Um, well, Kirino-san asked me to come...
Then just say so like a man!
Kyousuke! That's en-
W-What was th-?
Get out.
Now.
Damn it.
Damn it!
What the hell am I doing?
Mr. Kyousuke, I can't do anything about what happened today.
May I rely on you instead?
Of course.
I don't really know why this happened, but I'll do something about it.
Okay.
But... if I fail, I'm sorry.
Don't you... get... embarrassed when you do that?
You seem helpless right now, Kyousuke-san.
Please have more confidence.
Are you drunk?
What do your mother and Kirino see in that idiot?
Honestly...
Do you know that bonehead?
We met once before.
What's kind of person is he?
He seems like a hardworking guy.
I don't know much about him, but I don't think he's a bad person.
He and Kirino talk a lot when they're together.
Kirino is in middle school!
She's too young to date!
But she's mature for her age.
You...
So you support this relationship?
It's Kirino's decision, isn't it?
I object to it!
You're being unreasonable!
Let her decide for herself!
Kirino with a boyfriend?
My blood boils when I even think about it!
I'll give him a punch or three first, and then we can talk!
You'll break his neck!
I don't care!
You really should!
Anyway, I object!
I object! I object! I object!
He's completely drunk.
I object! I object! I object! I completely object!
Embarrassing.
Where is your dignity, Dad?
The way you dote on your daughter is unbelievable!
It's embarrassing, but...
Okay, Dad.
I'll go in your place.
What?
I'll talk to Mikagami and give him a punch or three for you.
Do you think I'll approve just because of that?
Yes, because I'm of the same opinion, Dad!
I'm really sorry about what happened!
W-What's up with you?
I apologize for my sulking and poor behaviour towards your boyfriend!
T-That's enough!
Just get out!
Yesterday, you asked me what I wanted you to do.
At the time, I said that your relationship was your business,
but I didn't mean it.
I really want you to stop dating after all!
Why?
I don't really know why either.
Maybe I'm just bitter about the idea of some guy appearing out of nowhere and taking my sister away.
But I can't just tell my younger sister that I don't like the idea of her dating someone, can I?
So I could only say that your relationship was your own business.
I do think that it's your decision to date whoever you want,
but it affects me too, and I don't like it at all.
These are my true feelings.
I'm not lying.
It's too late...
Mikagami, do you really like my sister?
Yes. I adore her.
I hold her in my highest esteem.
You're a good guy.
You don't get scared or angry even when I put you on the spot like this.
You're good-looking, rich, and talented.
You and Kirino have so much in common.
When my little sister has found a guy like you,
I should be applauding you and giving you my blessing.
But!
I won't give you Kirino!
If you want to be in a relationship with Kirino,
you have to prove your worth to me!
I'll allow it if you care for Kirino more than I do!
However, I know for a fact that I treasure Kirino more than you do!
Therefore, I won't give you Kirino!
You won't hand your sister to someone you don't approve of.
Exactly!
I don't care how amazing you are. I still worry about Kirino!
I can't help but worry about her this much!
You have to prove to me that you're trustworthy!
Y-You...
I can't believe you...
How dare you...
How dare you talk like that when you flirt with the frump and the goth girl all the time?
Stop acting so high-and-mighty!
Of course I've got a problem with that!
You're so stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
How can you say that after you turned your back on me?
Why could you say that now?
What are you talking about?
This doesn't have anything to do with Manami or Kuroneko!
It does!
We're faking it!
We're not going out, we were faking it!
We didn't kiss or anything! We lied about everything!
Everything worked out, didn't it, Kirino-san?
That's my cue, isn't it?
Yeah.
What's going on?
In short, Kirino-san and I lied about being in a relationship.
What?!
It was all a lie?
We've never even held hands.
She just asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend.
But... why?
Um, you just wanted your brother to notice you, right, Kirino-san?
T-That's not it!
What was it, then?
Because... because...
You! You...
It's okay.
You don't have to force yourself to say anything.
W-What are you-
I'm just doing my job as your older brother.
Don't cry!
What's up with you?
At first, Misaki-san asked me to persuade Kirino-san to go overseas.
We get along well as friends, but a relationship wouldn't work.
Kyousuke-kun was right to worry.
To be honest, Misaki-san knew right away that you two were siblings.
What? Really?
It seems that you're terrible actors.
But it doesn't matter that you're not dating.
I couldn't get between you two.
I'll tell her that.
See you.
The day after tomorrow.
What?
Let's have a do-over of the Summer Comiket celebration.
We caused a lot of trouble for those two.
Right.
What the hell did you do?
What the hell happened?!
Nothing!
About time you showed up.
Sorry.
Kirino said she wanted to have another shot at celebrating at our house tomorrow.
I heard about it on the phone yesterday.
That's right. You guys spent a lot of time on the phone.
Kirino looked relieved.
I assume you've made up?
Kuroneko?
Please...
Go out with me!
