Break up with Senpai
You were
You were kidd
You were kidding

You were kidding about that, right
You were kidding about that, right?
I never received a reply.

Morning.
Is Gokou absent today?
Kousaka-senpai, what are you talking about?
Why would she be here at all?
Gokou-san...
transferred schools.
Transferred?
Since when?
What's the deal here?!
S-Senpai-
What's the deal here, huh?
Why?!
Please, calm down!
Sorry.
It's okay.
Are you serious? Is this true?
Why didn't anyone tell me?
I thought you of all people would know already.
You're Gokou-san's...
boyfriend, after all.
I see.
So this is for real.
Is anyone home?
Excuse me!
You've got to be joking.
Kuroneko
I don't think I did anything to ruin our relationship.
What the hell happened?
More so than anyone else in the world,
I'll continue to love you forever.
What am I going to do with myself?
Get a grip, me!
If anything troubles you, please don't hesitate to talk to me about it.
No...
Miyabi-chan~
Wha-What are-
Shh! Keep it down.
W-What are you doing straddling your sis-
Time for life counseling.
All right, I get the picture.
That damn cat...
So she broke up with you without the slightest warning?
Get real. What's she thinking?
So what are you gonna do about it?
I don't know. I'm so lost.
That's why I asked you for counseling.
Well, fine.
First things first-Do you like the goth girl?
Yeah.
Even after the senseless way she dumped you?
Yeah. I love her. Still do.
I see.
D-Don't cry!
Come on.
Thank you.
Turn around for me, will you?
Huh?
Just do it!
What's the big idea?!
Don't turn around!
Seeing your back pissed me off for some reason.
All right, eyes in front.
What are you-
Cheer up, will you?
I'm on your side.
You may be a hopeless mess, and everyone else might abandon you,
but I'll stay by your side.
I'll worry over you and scold you until the end.
So cheer up,
big bro.
Thank you, Kirino.
Your body is so warm...
S-Shut up.
I-I'm just...
doing what Mom used to do to cheer me up after I lost a race.
D-Don't read too much into it.
All right.
So don't say anything creepy. You hear?
I hear.
I was wondering...
Huh?
You said that if I got a real boyfriend, you'd cry.
Yeah...
Then let's say I found someone I really loved, and I dated him,
and then he dumped me and disappeared, and I was crying...
what would you do?
Well, I'd-
You know what, don't even tell me.
I already know what you're going to say.
We're siblings, after all.
Let's see. It would go something like this:
Ah, geez. The things I do, seriously.
How hopeless you are.
Kyousuke. Just leave it to me!
Goth girl
Which is why I didn't stop you.
I don't recall asking you to refrain.
Just admit it already.

No dice. She hasn't replied since.
Well, she sent me that, so she's somewhere in the neighborhood.
Her and her overblown fantasies...
White shadows, my ass!
It's just a hot springs town.
So, what now?
For the love of God, are you the same guy who went all the way to America to bring me back?
If others are in trouble you jump to help,
but you can't for the life of you help yourself!
You might be right.
At least object, will you?
Well, that girl hardly blends into a crowd.
If she's in the neighborhood, someone's probably seen her.
Let's ask around as we search.
Come on, let's get going.
R-Right.
You seem awfully dependable today.
I told you to leave it to me, didn't I?
Kirino-san, you're so cool!
You'll make me swoon!
Not a trace.
Wanna grab a bite to eat first?
It's just about lunch time.
Y-You two!
Kuroneko!
What are you doing here?
Kurone-
Gotcha!
What are you-
You... Why you...
Hey now...
You can't run away anymore.
I'm not going to run.
Now, my hands are hurting, so could you please release your grip?
What made you think this was a good idea?
Think what was a good idea?
Give it a rest!
Why did you transfer schools without telling us?
That was because...
Let me ask again.
What are you two doing here?
What else?
I'm here to bring you back!
I-I see.
To bring me back, huh?
I know this is rich coming from me,
but don't just up and leave without warning!
I haven't given much thought to the future,
but I don't want you to leave!
L-Let's save that discussion for later.
I believe there's something else you'd like to say.
You bet there is.
I'm not even getting started.
Then let's hear it.
Why did you say you were breaking up with him?
I started dating Senpai in order to make a certain wish come true.
We performed many rituals in our quest to turn fantasy into reality.
What? Have you honestly deluded yourself?
In words I can understand, if you please.
Were you fine with me dating your brother?
I-I told you I didn't mind, didn't I?
Over the phone.
Really?
And you still don't?
I've... accepted it.
That's a lie.
A falsehood to end all falsehoods.
Are you sure you weren't just pretending to accept it?
Are you an idiot?
You couldn't be more wrong.
And even if that were true, it's none of your business!
Yes, it is.
It's plenty my business.
For that is not the outcome I desire.
You would bar the path to utopia with your actions.
I-I have no clue what you're talking about!
I did not expect this to be the stage of our confrontation.
Very well, let us play the cards we're dealt and settle this.
When I came to your house to hang out with your brother,
wherefore did you run away with a pained look on your face?
I didn't have a pained look...
Wherefore have you looked so troubled since the two of us began dating?
I haven't been troubled.
Had you truly accepted our relationship, your expression would not have been such.
I cannot bear to see you do this to yourself.
If you understand me so well, then why did you confess your feelings to him?
You don't find that cruel?
You intentionally did something that would make your friend upset!
Because that's what it took to make you admit how you felt.
You don't expect me to believe that was it!
I understand you as well as you understand me!
I know full well how strongly you felt!
That's why...
I held it in this whole time!
Held it in?
What, pray tell, were you holding in?
If you consider me your friend, then be honest with me.
Fine.
I'll say it, okay?
I... I...
I hate my brother!
Hate him!
Really, really, really, really hate him!
Really?
Very well.
Continue.
I hate my brother.
But...
I can't stand the thought of him having a girlfriend!
I can't stand not being his number one!
That's why I pulled that stupid stunt!
You mean when you brought your fake boyfriend home?
That's right!
I couldn't bear watching you flirt with the frump and the goth,
so I decided to give you a taste of your own medicine.
I was scared to death that you'd say, It's your life, or So date him.
But I didn't know what else to do.
What do you want me to do?
What?
That's your business. Why would you ask me?
I see.
You said you didn't like the idea of me having a boyfriend, didn't you?
So I figured if I said the same to you, then you wouldn't date anyone.
That night, goth girl here asked me over the phone...
Do you mind if I ask your brother out?
Go ahead.
I didn't want to say yes.
But if a girl who genuinely liked you wanted to tell you how she felt,
what right did I have to say no?
That didn't make it any easier on me.
I was starting to regret supporting your relationship.
So when I heard you'd dumped him, I was frankly relieved.
But... But then...
you looked so sad about being dumped!
You were crying pathetically and even came to me for help.
That's how deeply it hurt you.
When I saw that, it made me feel even worse.
So instead, I got pissed at the goth girl for dumping you and leaving without a word.
I thought, I'll do something about this, just you wait!
That's how I really feel.
That's why I'm here.
I hate the idea of you having a girlfriend!
But... I hate seeing my brother cry even more.
It's stupid and unreasonable, but that's how I feel.
So listen up, Kuroneko.
I'm about to ask you why you did what you did,
rip you a new one, and make you apologize to Kyousuke.
Then I'll drag you back with me and make you transfer back.
Any questions?
As wild as ever, I see.
You two are just like one another when you get aggravated.
Though the thought of your brother having a girlfriend is enough to drive you mad,
you refused to admit it when I asked permission.
You even encouraged him, and now that we broke up you're trying to reunite us.
Why did you go to such lengths?
Because we're siblings.
Kyousuke... my brother, has always helped me.
No matter how far away I was, he never stopped worrying about me.
Kirino
Collection
Throw out my entire collection that I left with you.
When I faltered, he rushed to where I was.
He was always by my side, protecting me time and again.
When I was in pain, he comforted me,
made me laugh, made me angry.
When I did something stupid, he told me off and jealously protected me.
When I had something on my mind, he was there to counsel me.
Even though by all rights, he should hate my guts.
Even though for so long, we'd completely ignored each other.
It's my responsibility to return the favour.
That's all there is to it.
You finally admitted the truth.
It appears my efforts were not in vain.
So?
Now that you've wheedled the truth out of me, what next?
Let us resume the ritual.
Kyousuke.
You said you loved me.
But the thought of you dating drives Kirino mad.
Even so, she is trying to reunite us.
Because she believes, as siblings, that you would do the same for her.
Now, let us hear.
What shall you do?
Now, knowing how Kirino feels,
will you nevertheless choose me?
Kuroneko...
I-
Just kidding!
It was a joke.
I said, it was a joke.
All of this was a joke.
So you need not answer.
Wait. Kuroneko, listen.
I-
The moment those next words touch your lips, I will perish!
It's... It's better... this way...
Hey, are you all right?
Whoa, what's wrong?
Oh my god, you're pale as a ghost!
It would appear that the other world calls to me.
Pray, do not misunderstand.
Never once did I flee.
Think of it as merely... a tactical retreat.
Okay, we get it!
Just don't drop dead on us!
Though my flesh may turn to dust,
my spirit shall be... eternal...
And with that, Kuroneko lost consciousness.
Matsudo?!
Yes, that's right.
I'm moving to Matsudo, Chiba.
The mad city of a thousand whirling leaves!
You're going to offend the residents.
And isn't that awfully close?
Indeed it is.
My dad received his new job assignment, and we were given company-owned housing.
Then what are you doing here?
We're on a family vacation.
Our paperwork was late, so I'm starting school in two days.
Which means...
I'll be attending a new school, but it won't affect our meetings.
I uh, guess we'll still be seeing each other.
Why didn't you tell us that first?!
H-How could I?
You were trying to persuade me so passionately.
T-That wasn't... like...
Gokou
Gosh, it was so dark out last night.
Has Matsudo never heard of streetlamps?
I guess that's why this is the "mad city" of Chiba.
Not you too...
She should just come back to Chiba City.
Oh yeah, almost forgot.
What are you gonna do about the goth girl anyway?
I guess I didn't get a chance to make myself clear that day.
What were you going to say before she interrupted?
If you're against it, of course I won't date.
At least, not for now.
"Not for now"? So when?
When you get a boyfriend, I guess.
But you're against me getting a boyfriend, aren't you?
Y-Yeah...
So we're stuck.
Guess we are.
Sorry for the wait.
W-What's with that outfit?!
Is it cute?
You slutty cat!
S-Slutty?
You broke up with him, remember?
So why are you acting like you're in heat?
I am merely performing the ritual as prophesied in the Destiny Record.
I thought you were done with that crap!
I said nothing of the sort.
Quite the contrary, it is proceeding as planned.
Do not forget.
You have yet to be released from the curse I placed upon you.
Ah, yes.
Thanks to our last ritual, I've made excellent progress on my plan.
I was thus able to manifest a yet clearer desire.
What's this supposed to be? Us?
What think you of this depiction?
They look nothing like us.
Has your art gotten worse?
Well, I can't see us being this friendly with each other.
It looks like we have a long road ahead.
And thus, the curtain fell on this chaotic episode.
In hindsight, Kirino and I were able to understand each other better thanks to Mikagami and Kuroneko.
I'd be hard pressed to say we get along, but though we may bicker,
when push comes to shove, we'll be there to help each other.
That's what it means to be siblings.
Come Monday, we'll make our ways to different schools.
We won't see each other there anymore.
But on the weekends, we'll be able to gather like this.
Saori, Hinata-chan, and even Sena might join us.
We'll argue and cause mayhem as usual,
dish out and receive insults, curse each other...
maybe even fall in love sometimes.
If that's what the future holds, I think I can live with that.
It looks like we have a long road ahead.
Not that long.
What was that?
Oh, um...
This incident was practically a mirror image of our previous ones.
If you ask me, there's only one thing I can say to express my gratitude in this case.
Thanks, Kirino.
Huh?
Where did that come from?
Is it that unusual for me to show gratitude for you?
All right, sorry.
You're welcome, Kyousuke.
As for what went through my head in that moment...
There's No Way My Little Sister Can Be This Cute!
Well, I hardly need to say it.
