[Text: O Lord, for me to love this girl so... // Is there something wrong with me?]
Yuuji: Sh - / She looks so cute sleeping like that...
[sFX: ahhhh...]
[box: Arihara Yuuji (first-year high-school student)]
Yuuji: (I want to stay watching over this face eternally... // ...so that it may never be clouded with sadness...) // Hm?
[sFX: shift]

[sFX: KA-POOW]
Ayumi: AND THEN A STRAIGHT SHOT FROM THE LEFT SIDE~~~~~~~~~~~~!!
Yuuji: A - Ayumi...
[sFX: Aghughhh...]
Ayumi: Mmm... Huuh? // I was just having this dream where I was playing for Japan...
[sFX: mumble mumble]
Ayumi: Did that hurt? Sorry about that~ / Onii-chan!
[Text: That's right.]

[Text: The single most important girl in my life...]
[bessho Yoshihiko (first-year high-school student)]
[TN: Wait, "Bessho"? The guy with the sister complex is friends with... the brother of the girl with the brother complex? XD]
Yoshihiko: Your... your sister? // Isn't there something seriously wrong with having feelings like that for your own sister...
[sFX: Guahh!]
[sFX: THWACK]
Yuuji: THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AT ALL!! // After all, it's not like I'm talking romantic feelings or any of that kinda shit!! We're talkin' the kind of supreme love that transcends all that!! // For instance, think of a man's love for his only daughter!! / If that's where true happiness lies, then that's all I need! // But being by Ayumi's side brings me greater happiness still than that ever could!!
Yoshihiko: ...But couldn't it just be that you like younger girls or something? / Why don't you try checking out my little sister?

5
Yuuji: Oh, YOUR sister, is it...?! The girl so plain it could bring the whole world to tears?!
[TN: LIES! All lies! *hugs Koyoi*]
[sFX: grr, etc. general angry noises :p]
Yoshihiko: Oh, you did NOT just say that. / Our little Koyoi is a beauty! Not like that monkey-faced little sister who looks just like you!!
Yuuji: You've never even seen Ayumi, don't you dare say things like that about her!!
Yoshihiko: You're the one who started it, aren't you?! You pair of monkey-siblings!!
[sFX: graaab // crash]
Kazuma: Why are the two of you always fighting about that?
[box: Chikura Kazuma (first-year high-school student)]
[TN: "Chikura", too? ~_~ Do ALL of those girls have brothers in this class?]
Kazuma: Wouldn't it be easier if the two of you actually tried meeting each other's sisters sometime?
Yuuji: Damn right it would!! Bessho! You're gonna see my sister and you're gonna damn well fall head-over-heels for her!!
[sFX: CRASH]
Yoshihiko: [aside]Huh?![/aside] What, you're going to show her to me right now?!
Kazuma: From what I've heard from my own sister... / I seem to remember both of their sisters are in the same class as her... [aside]Some kind of fate...?[/aside]
Girl: [aside]Hm?[/aside]

Yoshihiko: Ahhh... // I'd really rather not bump into my sister here if I can help it...
[sFX: rustle rustle]
Yuuji: Well, that's why we're hiding back here, right...? // Ah, there she is!
Ayumi: [aside]you know...[/aside]
[sFX: sparkle sparkle sparkle]
Yuuji: Whaddaya say to that, Bessho?!! // That's right, so beautiful you're lost for words, right?!
Yoshihiko: ...
Yuuji: Are you ready to admit your loss yet? Now, where could your sister be...?
Yoshihiko: (I get the feeling I've seen this girl somewhere before...) // Oh, yeah! The pictures Koyoi brought home from that purikura...

7
Koyoi: Ahhhh! // It IS you, Onii-san!
[sFX: whoosh]
Yoshihiko: Agh, Koyoi!! // Aaahhhh!
Koyoi: I'm so happy! You came all this way to see me~~~!♡♡♡♡♡
[sFX: GLOMP]
[TN: Koyoi LOVE]

Yuuji: Th - this is Bessho's...?
Ayumi: What are you doing here, Onii-chan?!!
[sFX: throw // ka-SMACK]
Yuuji: Guahh!
Yoshihiko: Your friends are looking at us weirdly and everything, you know!! / It's embarrassing, so get off!
[sFX: whisper whisper whisper etc.]
[sFX: ahhhh...]
Koyoi: Oniichan, you must really cares about me, don't you...! / But of course I love you lots and lots as well~!
Yuuji: Wh - what's with them, they're like the exact opposite to us...
Ayumi: Oh, Koyoi-chan has a really big brother-complex. / Is that the big brother she's always talking about? I've never seen him before...!

9
Yoshihiko: W - well, then, Arihara, I'll be heading home...
[sFX: stare stare stare]
Koyoi: Bye-bye, everyone, see you tomorrow~~~!♡
Yuuji: But man, those two totally don't look anything like each other, huh... / [aside]Ya know, she actually is pretty damn cute...[/aside]
[sFX: scramble scramble]
Rika: Ayumi~! / Hey, did you see him?! What did you think of Koyoi's brother...?! // Ah! // ...Huh, what's with that... what's Ayumi's brother doing here as well...?
Nao: [aside]You shouldn't say things like that...![/aside]
Kei: Ugh... just look at him...
Yuuji: YOU COULD AT LEAST COME OUT AND INSULT ME TO MY FACE~~~~~!! // Well, then, Ayumi.
[sFX: rest]
[sFX: a-hem]
Yuuji: I suppose the two of us should walk home together sometimes as well -
Ayumi: Now, then, don't joke around like that...!♡
[sFX: step]
Yuuji: Ahh!
Ayumi: I told you, my brother's just so uncool~!
[sFX: Ahahaha!]
[sFX: whooosh]
[sFX: throb throb]

10
Yuuji: I guess Ayumi's just at a difficult age...
[sFX: grumble]
[box: But still...]
Ayumi: Onii-cha~n! // Sorry for acting like that at schol, okay~? / Hey, you wanna play a game together? [aside]it's a racing game![/aside]
[box: ...She really is so damn cute.]
[sFX: mutter]
Ayumi: If I beat you, you have to promise never to come by the school again...
Yuuji: Wha - ?!
[bottom text: 35 matches, 35 losses]

[Text: I never wanted anything more than just for things to be able to stay like this forever... // I thought things would always be this way... // But then... // All of a sudden, that fateful day came...]
Yuuji: I'm ho~me...
Mother: Welcome back... oh, didn't you get wet out there?
Yuuji: It's not raining just yet...
Mother: Oh, is that right? // [aside]well, then...[/aside] / Dinner will be soon, okay...?

12
Yuuji: ?! / Whaddaya think you're doing spacing out like that? The TV's not even on...
Ayumi: ......
Yuuji: If there's something you're worried about, you should tell me! Okay?
[sFX: sta~re]
[sFX: ahhh...]
Yuuji: ...?
[sFX: waa, waa, waa]

13
Ayumi: There's... // ...this guy I like. // Ahh, I just love Zaitsu-kun~~~!♡ [aside]waaah![/aside]
[sFX: KA-WHOOSH]
Yuuji: (I - I have to just calm down! It's only natural for a fourteen-year-old girl to fall for some stinking pervy guy...)
Mother: Oh, it's pouring down...
Yuuji: (This just means that Ayumi's growing up properly, that's all! I should be happy about it!)

14
Yuuji: (But there's no way I could feel happy about this~~~~~~!!!)
[sFX: dash]
Ayumi: Onii-chan?!
Yuuji: Who's the bastard who's gone and tricked my Ayumi like this?! I'll murder him! / Zaitsu! She said "Zaitsu", right...?! Zaitsu... Zai...
[sFX: running]
Memory!Ayumi: You know this high-schooler called Zaitsu Misao?
Yuuji: Zai...tsu...?
[sFX: ahhh...]
Yuuji: A - // Ayumi couldn't have fallen for that monster, right...?!!
[sFX: collapse...]

[sign: Kurobone Private High School]
[TN: Can't read all the graffiti, what with bits being cut off and some being too small and stuff, but it's all just the sort of stuff you'd expect - the bit top-left one says "stupid", big one on the right says "ultimate" or "strongest" and probably goes with the big above and to the right of it, but I can't tell what that says, it's cut off... Likewise, the one at the bottom, I can see the word "kenka" ("fight"), but the bit after it is cut off. And then there are the smaller ones... we have a little "that's us~" on the bottom-right of the sign, and the bubble says "welcome~". Can't read that little text above the bubble. And there are other bits and pieces here ant there, but I can't make them out.]
[sFX: whoosh]
[sFX: GUAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!]
Guys: Maan... that Zaitsu's going wild again... // Maybe he's still havin' trouble with that girl of his?
[sFX: Ahhh... // mwaaahhh]
Yuuji: (Is there nothing I can do but just stand by and watch Ayumi be dirtied by his hands?! // And then someday have to hear him call me "Nii-san" or something?!) // N - No!! I can't take it!! // But what can I possibly do?! I can't stand up to him~~~~~!!!
[sFX: Waaaaahhhh!]

16
Yoshihiko: Ahahahahahaha!!!
Yuuji: What's so funny about this, huh, Bessho?!! / My beautiful, beloved sister has gone and fallen for that monster, of all people, you know?!
[sFX: shake shake]
Yuuji: This could put the entire Arihara family within that monster's grasp, you know~~~~?!!!
Yoshihiko: But hey, if it makes your sister happy, right~? [aside]ahahahahah![/aside] // But man, I do wonder what on earth she could see in a terrible guy like that...
Yuuji: Hey, that reminds me, my mind came up with this horrible scene with the two of them just now..... / Ah! There's a handy girl! I'll use her to show you what I mean!!
Yoshihiko: Huh?

17
Yoshihiko: Show me... you mean...?
Yuuji: Heeey, Yamamoto~!!
Yamamoto: ...?
Yuuji: Man, it must be terrible to be doing that... that must be really heavy, right? // Here, I'll carry it for you... Ah, but wait... just a second... // First I've gotta give you this...
[sFX: reach]
Yamamoto: Hmmm? If you're not going to help, then get out of the way -
[sFX: whoosh]

18
[sFX: pop]
Yamamoto: Mmnh!
Yuuji: Now, I'll carry this stuff for you, okay...?
Yoshihiko: ARIHARA~~~~!! // What the hell are you doing?!!
[sFX: jump]
Yoshihiko: I'm so sorry, Yamamoto-san! You can throw that away if you like, okay! / You might get "Arihara-disase", after all... // Arihara, we're going!!
Yuuji: What's your problem, I wasn't really doing anything wrong, you know!

19
Yuuji: But yeah, that's totally how he did it! / Damn, I can't believe my own sister would fall for a dirty trick like that...
Yoshihiko: More importantly, do you have any idea what you even did there?!
[sFX: ka-thump thump thump thump etc.]
