21-1 Lessons with Onee-san

A flower blooms in Love-Sumo

Episode 4 - Flag

21-2 Hey good little boys and girls, how are you doing?

Today I'm going to explain about "Flags"

Flags

21-3 Flag

21-4 First off, look at this

[box at left] Lessons with Onee-san are...
Where Tamatan (onee-san) gives wonderful lessons where she explains the ABCs of the world of fujoshi to Amata, who knows nothing about it.

22-1 "Omakase Tenteru Love Business War"

It's a girls game that uses a renai adventure system, but adds a card game component

22-2 Girl's game

A game that let's you fall in love with the secondary characters is a girl's game

22-3 So I play the game as Yanami, huh?

First there's an event where you go to an amusement park with Tenteru and Mikoto

Yanami, it's an amusement park teru nyo!

22-4 I'm transforming with this card!

sfx: boom

22-5 Apppaaaaa

23-1 Izumo Yanami

Is here!

23-2 Yanami... Why did you transform?

I'm sorry... I'll go change right away
Is it that weird?
The both of you are transformed right now

23-3 So why did I need to transform?

To trigger a flag

23-4 So what's a flag, onee-san?

Amata-kun, take the third choice

sfx: Deadly Serious

23-5 Is this answer really ok?

Beep

24-1 Yanami, I'm disappointed in you.
You just do whatever you want

24-2 How rude...

But it gives rise to a TenMiko event

sfx; excited

24-3 For TenMiko fans, it's not an exaggeration to say this is the best ending

Onee-san, it says "Bad Ending" though

24-4 I'm going to do everything in my power to get the real best ending

I'm a little worried about who you're going to go after

sfx: Dead serious
