Chapter 10
Sisters ~The Invention of Happiness: Lala~
In the summer, your sparkling figure,
//Grows even more dazzling in a bathing suit---

2
p1
Here!
It's all fixed, Nana ♫

p2
Waaa---!
Thanks, Big Sis!!

p3
rito: What were you doing?
momo: Ah... Rito-san
momo: Nana's D-Dial was broken, so she asked Onee-sama to take a look at it

3
p1
nana: Ehehe I'm sorry for ruining your break time, Big Sis
lala: Don't worry about it

p2
Nana is too rough when she handles mechanical devices
Even in the past, she's been the type whose toys would break quickly too

p3
I'd like you to grow up even a little

p4
nana: D... Don't say that while looking at my breasts---!!
momo: Oh my, I didn't really mean that?

4
p1
nana: No, I'm sure you're looking down on me!!
lala: Ah!
lala: Err, Nana!

p2
lala: Here! I made something good for you!
nana: Eh?

p3
This!
Boobie-boobie Up-kun!!

p4
Boobie?
Yes! It hasn't been completely tested yet, but try it out for a while

5
p1

p2
Kya!
Wah!?
Nana, Momo!?

p3
Big Sis... What in the world...?

p4/5

6
p1
nana: Ah!
rito: Ohhh!
nana: My breasts are!!
lala: A grand success!!

p2
nana: Uwaaaa, th- this is awesome, Big Sis---!!
lala: Huhu, you were worried about your boobies, Nana

7
p1
momo: O... Onee-sama!!
lala: Hmm?

p2
sfx: flat x2

p3
M... M- m-
My...
nb: Hawawa...
My breasts... are gone...

p4
nana: Momo turned into a petanko!?
lala: Uh... Huh!?

p5
I... I'm sorry, Momo. It's looks like its effect is still unstable...

8
p1
Even if I try to seduce Rito-san like this...
Rito-san...

p2/3
Please...
Do whatever you like...

9
p1
You'll catch a cold if you go like this ♥

p2
A... Are you alright, Momo?

p3
momo: Don't look at me like that, Rito-san!!
rito: Like what!?

p4
Ahaha! Looks like I'm the one who had the tendency toward bigger breasts~~ ♫
But it's not something to fret about! Even if you're a petanko ♥

10
p1
sfx: Pshhhhhh
sfx: Boing

p2
nana: M... My breasts have gone flat---!!
lala: Gosh, has the effect worn off already?
//lala: I think I need to do more research

p3
Oh... Oh no...

11
p1
nb: Hohoho...
momo: True... I've been able to understand your feelings a little
nana: Dammit---

p2
nana: Man! Don't make me use unfinished devices, Big Sis---!!
lala: Ahaha, I'm sorry---

p3
...Oh boy

12
p1
sign: Infirmary
Heeeh

p2
She keeps making pretty interesting things, that Lala-san

p3
momo: But really now...
//momo: I'm so sorry, Rito-san, that you had to see something unseemly
rito: I... I didn't really mind...
//rito: It all happened because Lala produced another weird item~~~

13
p1
oshizu: The tea is ready, you two~
momo: Thank you very much, Oshizu-san!

p2
momo: It's delicious!
rito: True
oshizu: Ehehe It's a fruit of Mikado-sensei's tutelage~~

p3
oshizu: But Lala-san really loves inventing, doesn't she?
//oshizu: Has she been like that ever since she was little?
momo: She has

p4
By the time I was old enough to understand, she was already--...

14
p1
box: Deviluke Royal Palace
//box: Seven years ago
momo: It's your fault, Nana!
nana: No, you should apologize, Momo!!

p2
I'm the Onee-chan between the two of us!!

p3
We're twins, so it doesn't make much of a difference

p4
zastin: Nana-sama and Momo-sama, please stop fighting!
nana: Be quiet, Zastin!

15
p1
Nana, Momo~~~
My mechas are running amok!!
Stop them~~~
nana/momo: Big Sis!? Onee-sama!?

p2
Wa- wa- Nana, take care of that side!
I... got it!!

16
p1

p2
Thank you. You two really helped me out!!

p3
Hehe!

p4
zastin: Please be careful next time, Lala-sama!
momo: Well...
momo: Those sorts of things were common everyday occurrences...

17
p1
oshizu: It's not much different from the present, is it? ♫
momo: She's someone who grew big while remaining a child...

p2
Ah!

p3
So that's where you were, Momo-chan, Senpai
Say, do you know where Nana-chan is?

p4
rito: Mea!
momo: Nana went to the store to buy a notebook
mea: I see, thanks ♫

p5

18
p1
...You are Doctor Mikado, aren't you?
Wonderful ♥

p2

p3
So she's that Kurosaki Mea
//Who claims she's Yami-chan's little sister...
momo: Yes... Do you know something about her, Mikado-sensei?

p4
No
//As an underground doctor, I do have my network, but
The organization Yami-chan used to belong to was destroyed many years ago, so even if you investigate, there won't be any clues

19
p1
If only we could
Find Tearju...

p2
momo: Eh?
mikado: No... Never mind
//mikado: I'll try to look into it from my end

p3
And you keep it up
With Yami-chan...

20
p1
See you
Bye-bye

p2
Rito---!
I want to analyze the failure of my invention today, so I'll be going home first---

p3
lala: Please pick up Celine-chan!
rito: Got it

p4
They fail every time, but she just never gets discouraged...

21
p1
Yuuki

p2
Here

p3
The sample of the next CD Run is releasing
She couldn't come today because of work, so she had me bring it to you

p4
Run...

22
p1
I... I see
Thanks

p2
Yuuki...

p3
I've been wondering for a while
How do you feel about Lala-chan?

p4/5
Eh
Lala-chan is a sweet, pure girl even more than you think
She's like an angel who heals everyone around her

23
p1
Because she is like that
Aren't you taking advantage of that kindness of hers?

p2
Th...
That's not...

p3
...Whatever
//Anyway!
Same thing about Run
//Don't do something to make girls cry

p4
Ren...
It just might be true
To make things clear, I told Lala that I love Haruna-chan

24
p1
But still, Lala keeps living with me without feeling hurt

p2
And...
Somewhere, there's a part of me that feels relieved
Even Run... I don't want to make her suffer like that...

p3
But... What should I do...?

p4
"Let's make it... Rito-san's harem"
"This is the miraculous way to solve everything, including the problem of succession to the throne of Deviluke ♥"

25
p1
Rito... ♥
Yuuki-kun... ♥

p2
Idiot, what are you imagining!!

p3
I'm taking what Momo says way too seriously!!
I can't help but think that the world is not such an easy place that everything will go our way!!

p3/4

27
p1
Ritooo!

p2
mikan: The dinner is about ready, so call Lala-san and others down here---
celine: Mau // Mau
rito: Got it---

p3
mikan: Be careful of Momo-san
rito: Eh!

28
p1

p2
Lala!

p3
rito: Mikan said it's dinner time already
lala: Yep! I'll be there soon---

p4/5
As usual, this room is littered with inventions

29
p1
This is strange
//Why didn't it work like it was supposed to?

p2
Say, Lala
Hmm?

p3
Why did you begin to invent things?

p4
Eh?

p5
rito: Uh... Well, you've never talked about it before, so I just thought...
lala: Ah--- Now that you mention it, it's true-

29
p1/2
But it's not that big of a deal
Living in the palace was boring, so I wanted to have something fun to do

p3
They had me do nothing but study because they said the Great War was over and peace was upon us
As for friends of the same age, it was only Run-chan who would sometimes be brought over to play as part of the interaction between royal families
But all that was until I turned eight

31
p1
Besides~~ Ever since I was little, I was taking the Deviluke military space battleships apart for a prank, so I had knowledge of mechanisms from that~~~
nb: Of course, I would put them back together afterward ♥
rito: That's not the level of a child's prank...

p2

p3
Someone talking...
Rito-san is in Onee-sama's room...?

p4
Don't tell me!!

32
p1
Onee-sama could not restrain her passion anymore and...!!

p2
Ritooo ♥
Fu--
Fu---
I love you ♥
Rito ♥
Mm
Mmwa...
Ha
Haaa---

33
p1
nb: Please... Have your way with me...
...No way
In a way, she's more of a child than even Nana...

p2
But I wonder what they're talking about

p3

p4
What are you doing...?

34
p1
Nana...!
Shush---

p2
Eh, Momo told you that?
True, those things happened often---

p3
Back then, Nana and Momo fought all the time---
They're talking about us...?

p4
But it the end, it would be you, Lala, who would make Zastin mad with your inventions
I'm not even sure who the little sister is between you and Momo and Nana. Haha

35
p1
peke: That is not true, Rito-dono!!
rito: Peke?

p2
I, Peke, would like to say something
As the representative of Lala-sama's inventions...

p3
Speaking of what happened in Momo-sama's childhood!
//Those mechas running amok was not caused by a mistake of Lala-sama
It was because of Lala-sama's love for her two little sisters!!

p4
Eh?

36
p1
box: Back then...
peke: Lala-sama, your sisters!
lala: Ah! They're fighting again. I have no choice

p2
Alright
I'll just use this then!!

37
p1
So then...
You did it on purpose to get Nana and Momo to make up...?

p2
Well, those two are much more reliable than I am, but they're still my cute little sisters
//When they fight, I want to somehow put a stop to it
If someone like Zastin scolds me instead, it settles that

38
p1
Now that I think of it, today too, when Nana and Momo were about to start fighting, her invention...

p2
Lala-chan is a sweet, pure girl even more than you think

p3
?
Lala...

39
p1

p2
Oh no... Why is my heart beating so fast?
I thought I decided to dedicate myself to Haruna-chan!!

p3
Are you alright? Your face is red

p4
She-
//She's close!!
Uh...
//It's... nothing

p5

p6
Beep beep

40
p1
Wah!
Hyaaa!

p2
Lala!?
peke: This is
lala: Ah // Mm... // No!
peke: Wind-wind Rope-kun No 2!!

41
p1
peke: It automatically winds itself around anything. It's a useful item for packing and such
rito: Now's not the time to be explaining nonchalantly!!

p2/3
Mmm
Nooo

p4
Hyaaa!?

42
p1/2
lala: M... My tail...
//lala: Ron't... {that's don't with the mouth open}
lala: Nwaaa ♥
lala: Ah ♥
rito: La... Lala!
//rito: I can't bear to watch this anymore...

p3
rito: You...
lala: Fwaaa ♥
rito: Come on...!

p4

p5
Uwa!

43
p1
lala: Ri... to, untie me~~~
rito: I... It's an item that you made~~~!

p2
Wh... Why do Lala's items
Always end up like this~~~!!?

44
p1
...I didn't notice at all
That Big Sis cared about us so much...

p2
I thought that Onee-sama was child-like, but...
//I was the child-like one

p3
Now that I think of it, we ran away from home and came to Earth
//Because Big Sis wasn't there and we were lonely without her...

45
p1
Nana...
Momo...

p2
nana: I'm... I'm glad that Big Sis is our big sister
momo: Me too...

p3
mikan: ...No one's coming down
celine: Mau-!!!
