“I feel like this is somehow out of place…”
Mau-chan, with her hair swaying in the sea breeze. As Uichan’s younger sister, she looks graceful even just standing there. I’m sure she wouldn’t like being called Uichan’s sister, so I won’t say it, but she has an inherent charm… I guess that’s what you could call it, something like that.
“Ahaha, that’s not true. Come on, let’s go?”
So I said that and walked to the mall I was aiming for. It’s fun to wander around and do some window shopping without any specific purpose, isn’t it? Maimon-chan seems anxious, as she’s holding my hand tightly. I wonder if she usually puts on a brave front… I would be happy if this outing allows her to open up a little.
“Mana-chan, look at this! It’s a big cotton candy!”
Maui-chan is having fun with a cotton candy that’s as big as her face. I get it, she’s cute~! Maui-chan’s smiling face is cute too…
“Uichan, I’m going to take a picture now~”
“Wh-what!? I-I understand!”
I took a picture with my smartphone. If it were Uichan, she would have nailed the pose and expression, but I actually prefer the more natural and soft smile of the real Uichan… I wish Uichan would show that kind of smile too.
“Hey, why don’t we take a picture together, Mana-chan?”
“Is it okay? Then I’ll be intruding~”
We take a selfie with the cotton candy held in the middle between us. Yeah, we both have great smiles! Make sure to send it along with the photo we took earlier to Maho-chan. Usually, I might put it off, but for some reason, I felt like I had to send it now.
“Hey, Mana-chan, do you wear hats?” “Hats? Hmm, I often see Hatsune-chan wearing them.” “Older sister… that’s true.”
A passing hat shop. While Mai Uichan is looking inside the store, it feels like her gaze is directed somewhere else, perhaps because I’m seeing Uichan through the hat. Uichan often wears caps too. She wore them even before she became famous… I wonder if she has some complexes about her face.
“I dislike my face… because I’m just like my older sister, and I get mistaken for her. Every time I look in the mirror, I think of my sister.”
A small voice that I heard from next door. A tiny, tiny cry of the heart. I wonder if it was a good thing that it reached my ears before it disappeared into the noise.
“I thought about wearing a hat. I wouldn’t have to see the face I dislike, and I wouldn’t have to look in the mirror either. But even that… you were thinking the same thing, huh, big sister? We’re sisters.”
I tightly grip Maku-chan’s hand and move away from that place. It’s hard to believe that she has gotten this worked up at such a young age, still being a junior high school student.
“Ui-chan, let’s eat something delicious and then play!”
“Yeah… Mana-chan, thank you.”
“Ahh… that was delicious, wasn’t it, sushi?”
“Mana-chan eats quite a bit, huh…”
“Hehe, delicious food is a separate stomach!”
I was hungry, and I didn’t want to make Maimi-chan hold back, so I went ahead and ate, but it seems like it made her feel better. After all, a girl’s smile is the best! It was just then that Maimi-chan asked me modestly for something.
“Mana-chan… I want something that big sister doesn’t have.”
“Ui-chan…?”
“My big sister has memories with Mana-chan and songs, so… I want something matching with Mana-chan… something that signifies a connection.”
Connection… Then, I thought about what there might be… and recalled that someone I collaborated with mentioned a recommended jewelry shop. A ring… might be a bit heavy, maybe a necklace would be better. After thinking that, I nodded and took her to the store.
“Um… I’m asking you, but is this the right place…?”” “Yeah, it’s the right place! Let’s buy matching accessories just for the two of us.”
I can’t believe it has come to this, my inner self thinks. It’s true that she’s Uichan’s sister, but is she feeling sympathy? No… probably not. I’m actually concerned about the real Uichan. She resembles Uichan, but she is different from her. I’m worried about her, who has lost her own identity… what about her…?
“Mana-chan…?””Ah, it’s nothing! Which one will you choose?”
“Hmm… Mana-chan can’t get piercings, right… Then how about a necklace… but a ring…”
Is Muu-chan interested in the ring? It’s every girl’s dream, isn’t it? I’m curious about it too~. It was while we were looking at it together like that when I heard a voice from behind.
“Here it is, Saki-chan! I heard from someone we co-starred with the other day. We even bought matching rings…””It’s fine to buy them, but you have to take them off while we’re working.”
──This is bad. It’s Ui-chan. I tried to pull 真ういちゃん by the hand and leave the place, but it was already too late.
“…Big sister…!”
That’s it for today, good night~
>>6Stopping just short is not good for your health!!
A date with Manaui… Thank you… Thank you…
There’s no way we could have matching accessories in private when we haven’t even properly held hands, right…?
I can’t help but want to shout that I’m really curious about what happens next!
A secret date in Odaiba!! …… maybe?
I have a feeling of a fierce battle coming on!
I don’t watch Gundam…
Neither Uihatsu nor I are interested in Gundam…
The moment that what was a substitute becomes the main thing is delicious, but it reflects the past like a mirror…
My nightly delight…
It’s a battlefield.
May I go home?
>>18This is the story that Saki-chan began, driving her older sister crazy.
>>18We are technically friends with Maho Hanamatsu, right…?
>>25It’s awkward~!!
From here, I somehow hit it off with Junna-san and we went on a Gundam date.
Can the sisters not bring about a development where they do Gundam Fight Ready Go!!?
>>20There are plenty of perfect situations around Odaiba and Ariake…
I’m going to crush big sister’s cockpit with a beam saber.
Odaiba’s mall is a date spot, I guess…
Well then, we’ll leave the rest to the young couple and have some tea…
>>23Don’t take Mana-chan away from me!!
>>24Hana has her sister taken away, so she has the right to say this…
I wonder what Mana-chan and Yoshiko-chan will talk about… It seems like they might have a more neutral conversation than the other two.
>>28How does Shoko, a talent collector, see Mana-chan?
Because the child originally carries no difficulty in living and has no darkness in their past, they probably won’t react in the way that the Oblivionis rod would expect.
Odaiba is the ring!
>>32Spidey vs. Spidey is starting.
I got my hopes up a little.
The mount battle as a pet owner might be about to begin.
>>33I want to see Mana-chan say things she normally would never say when she’s heated…
It’s such a flash that it seems likely to provoke the question, “Why are we not satisfied?”
Let’s take this calmly.
With pies in both hands and a pie on my face, this is a perfect setup!
Sho… is dead…
Muko… it would be best to look around from a distance here, nya…
Whether to hold a sumimi pie in both hands or a triangular pie in both hands…
