I don't know what to do.
Is Kanon really going to bathe together with me?
Soon she'll be in here naked...
No! I'll feel guilty looking at her that way!
But I'll...
Nii-yan, I'm coming in!
You thought I'd be naked!
Nii-yan, you pervert!
Toying with a guy's heart...
Take this!
Huh, I see!
Siblings really do think alike.
I wonder if I can hold back the feelings towards my sister that sprouted that day.

Matching Thoughts
First prize!
Nii-yan, I won!
The moment when only one of the many possible realities became true.
It happened when my little sister, Maeda Kanon won a trip to Europe in a lottery.
Hey, Nii-yan, now we'll be living alone for a while.
...living alone for a while.
Kanon decided to make the trip a present to our parents, who didn't have a honeymoon.
They're all your favourite foods.
Mum's only ever thinking about you.
But you got the camera from papa-rin!
And he hasn't bought me any new clothes yet.
Hey, how do you like your omelette?
All omelettes are the same.
No, they aren't!
Does my omelette taste like mama-rin's?
It does, doesn't it?
Does it?
Here, open wide.
Open wide!
Well?
Not the same at all.
But it's still delicious.
The hot days will continue for quite some time.
Next up is tomorrow's weather.
A low pressure front is developing on the Sea of Japan.
This front will pass over the Japanese islands,
and so tomorrow will be rainy all over the country.
The rain may even be strong.
No way!
Hey, I hear you're living alone with your sister.
I'm so jealous!
She's my little sister, so nothing's going to happen!
Even if you are siblings, if you look at her as a subject for photographing,
it's possible you'll notice a charming new side of her.
President Kudou, you too?
I hadn't realised it at all,
but she has grown quite a bit.
Even as her big brother, I think she's become cute-
Maeda-kun!
You're photographing too?
Y-Yes.
You're working hard.
Can I take a look?
Sure, even though it makes me nervous.
These are good photos.
If you don't mind, Katsumi-san, I'd like to see yours too.
Sure, here you go.
These are all good.
I'd like to be able to take photos like this too.
I'm just using my camera to cheer on those who are doing their best.
You're a hundred years too early!
How can you possibly understand her photos if you only recently started photography?!
T-That's...
Doesn't matter.
I came here because I have some business with Onee-sama.
Onee-sama, let's participate in the beach volleyball tournament!
You're asking me again?
How many times do I have to say no?
See you, Maeda-kun.
Wait!
Please wait!
Like I said,
at the same time with the film version publication,
a temporary idol unit will be formed!
I'll go to the audition-
Calm down, I got it already!
Now I have perfect photos for the audition.
There are lots of shots of you smiling.
Want to try with a more graceful expression next?
Graceful?
Something like an expression that's full of feelings.
I don't know how to do that.
Just try thinking about someone you like.
Someone I like?
Y-Yeah, if you have one.
Well, I'll try.
You know...
...I love you.
Does she have someone she loves?
Why am I shaking?
Ma-e-da-kun~
Why are you here?
We're here to get our pervy magazines back.
But that's just an excuse.
In reality, we want to see Kanon-chan wearing only an apron.
As if she'd wear that!
You mean this, right?
Wha-
Do you know where I hide those?
I'm sorry, Nii-yan took advantage of your goodwill for such a long time.
Did you see her wearing her apron?
I could eat so many bowls of her rice...
Yeah.
Sure, got it.
Any souvenir is fine.
Say hi to dad for me.
Dad got so excited about being to Europe that he got a fever.
They're going to return later than they were planning to.
We'll be alone even longer, then.
When I entered high school,
dad entrusted me with this album as a promise between us men.
Inside this album, there are many of Kanon's forgotten childhood photos.
And it seems you don't even remember...
...why I gave that bell to you.
Hey, Kanon, we...
Leave us some too.
Of what?
The water.
I didn't drink that much.
Nii-yan?
When I saw you, I thought we could walk home together,
but you disappeared right away.
You'll catch a cold!
Kanon, let's go home!
Y-Yeah!
So small!
I told you to go on the other side.
I had no idea the bath was this small.
It's just that we've grown.
Time passes so fast, doesn't it?
Indeed.
I hope we'll always be close like this.
We certainly will.
Yeah, that's true.
We'll always be close.
Should I tell her soon?
We're not related by blood.
If I do that,
we may not be able to go back to being siblings like we are now.
Geez, even though you have me...
It's a misunderstanding!
Morning.
Morning!
Hey, Nii-yan, you're free on Sunday, aren't you?
Why do you assume that?
Since it's summer and there are no club activities,
I thought we could go to the beach.
Beach?
So, let's go to the beach together!

Nii-yan, isn't that...
Oh, Maeda, you're here to photograph them too.
Let us document their youth together!
It's good to have a lot of support.
Now to properly thank you.
Thank you for rooting for us.
That was a good match!
Good for you, being able to participate with Katsumi-san.
Losing the second game was regrettable.
Where's Katsumi-san?
Onee-sama is telling her lover about it.
I see.
It's a shame that Katsumi-san has someone like that.
It can't be helped.
I know that my feelings will always be one-sided.
I'm fine as long as I can be at Katsumi-oneesama's side.
Narita...
I said a little too much.
Thank you, and see you.
Fine with being at her side...
I know that feeling.
Kanon...
How about you, Nii-yan?
Do you get it?
I...
Papa!
What's wrong?
Are you lost?
Papa...
Can't be helped.
I'll look for him with you.
Where is this girl's father?
Papa, Papa!
We're just calling papa, how about calling mama instead?
Mama became a star.
She became a star to cure an illness.
You mean...
Papa!
Kanon!
Papa!
I worried so much.
Where did you go?
You know, it was Bunny-tan that got lost.
Kanon didn't.
Aren't you happy you found your papa?
Yeah. Thank you!
Are you... maybe...
Kazuya!
Mama!
Did you find Kanon-chan?
Yeah.
She was crying over there.
Thank you.
Meeting your little sister ahead of time...
Maybe this is destiny.
You're lucky to get such a cute little sister.
Little sister?
You're lucky to get such a cool brother.
Brother?
From now on, we'll be a family.
We're all going to live together.
This is a castle of stars.
Castle of stars?
Yup! Where mama lives.
I will live there together with her someday.
I see.
K-Kanon...
Hold out your hand.
Put this on Bunny-tan.
If you get lost again,
I'll come looking where I hear the sound,
so I'll find you right away.
Okay. Thank you, Onii-chan!
I'll do my best to be a good big brother!
I'll always protect you!
I'll do my best to be a good little sister too!
Okay, it's a promise!
Yeah, a promise!
Hey, Onii-chan, a tunnel!
There's a tunnel in the castle?
Even though I promised to do my best to be a good big brother,
I have...
Hey, Nii-yan.
Let's dig a tunnel.
Why would there be a tunnel in a castle?
Does this make it the castle of stars?
Nii-yan, you remember.
The castle of stars.
You remember it?
Yeah, and not just now.
I've remembered it all the time.
Is that so?
Yeah.
Nii-yan, do you remember when you gave me the bell?
Sorry, I always remembered it.
I remember everything that happened that day.
I see.
And you still treasured me as your little sister.
You really are kind, Nii-yan.
Don't say that.
I'm...
Thank you for becoming my big brother.
I did my best to be a good little sister too.
I mean, I promised here that I would.
Kanon...
But I've meant... so many times...
To tell me?
But I couldn't.
I thought we wouldn't be able to carry on being siblings.
The thought scared me.
I'm the same.
If I had gathered some courage and said something earlier...
Don't worry. I'm glad that we can talk like this.
Yeah.
After that, I decided to give the album I got from dad to Kanon.
You made that promise with papa-rin?
Sorry for not giving it to you earlier.
I think there's one more photo of your mother.
Yeah.
She looks just like me.
Albums are really wonderful.
Photos can transcend time, huh?
So they do.
Nii-yan, there's something I want to give you too.
Huh?
My first love letter.
I'd like you to take it.
Communicating your feelings with a letter is embarrassing, isn't it?
I feel so embarrassed.
Wait!
I want you to read it when I've graduated from high school.
Then I can call you with your name instead of Onii-chan or Nii-yan.
I understand.
I'll treasure this until then.
I'm glad.
Could it be...
the one you were thinking about when I photographed you on the courtyard...
That's right.
Nii-yan, you're my ideal person after all.
Since I was small, you've always protected me.
So I said it while looking at you.
That I love you.
You're cute, Kanon.
Because we were siblings, I couldn't bring myself to say it.
But I'll say it now.
You're cute.
Cuter than anyone.
I'm happy.
I love you, Nii-yan!
It was just like a shooting star!
I was able to give it to you properly.
It's okay now, isn't it?
I've done my best, haven't I?
Isn't that kind of dangerous?
Sorry about that.

Do you believe in fate?
Do you believe in chance encounters?
I'll always believe.
In the fate that connects us.
In the bonds between us.
