- A dream of that time, in that place.
Text along panel bottom: Popcorn Avatar

- What are you doing! [linked] It’s dangerous… you’ll fall!
- Ma…

- Me, and
- Big brother.

- Mafuyu.
- I…
- I feel sad when big brother is sad.
- But…

02-----
- Ma…

- Mafuyu…

03-----
- The highly anticipated volume 2 now in stores!!!!!!!!!
- A lot happened, but… we are siblings after all.
- Chapter 12: Siblings and siblings

04-----
Text along right side of page: The memory of his sister that eats at Kurando. A complete nightmare…

- What a vivid dream…

- I’m in a cold sweat!

- …no, that wasn’t a dream.

- It was a memory.

- Even though the scene was so clear, there was one thing…
- I can’t remember what Mafuyu said after that.

06-----
- The heck, is this another dream?
- To have a dream like this, I must be really screwed up.

07-----
- Idiooooot!!!
- Oof!!?
- It’s no dream!

- Oww… I got elbowed in the face
- and it’s still so early in the morning.
- It’s already noon!!

- And why would you be in someone else’s bathroom?
- That’s all you have to say after seeing my perfect body? A whole heap of complaints!?
- Lisa-chan was helping me prepare lunch, but upturned a sugar jar for pickling on her head…

- 30min earlier

08-----
- So uncouth.

- Shut it, crude boy.

- Your clothes are drying right now, so in the meantime wear that.
- Cru…
- Yeees, grandma.

- This is the first time I’ve worn a yukata, I’m very happy [clef]
- Because Lisa-chan is tall.
- It suits you well. [linked] Right? Kurando.

09-----
- This must be another kind of cosplay.
- Mm.
- I guess…
- Wow! So honese!
- My, so he is. That’s rare coming from this kid.

- Oh, [linked] we gotta go Kurando! [linked] Grandma, thanks for the food. I’ll drop by again.
- Go where?

- Kurando.

- Seeing your expression when talking to Lisa, [linked] grandma feels relieved.

- That so?

10-----
- … Bridge Park [the first kanji is too hard to make out]

- What’s happening on a Sunday?
- I have a date with Mafuyu-chan—[clef]

- …you’re incredible.
- I am incredible.

- I mean…
- I saw Mafuyu in my dream today and became worried.

11-----
- Hee

- But I didn’t know they were in touch with each other.

- There she is!
- Maaafuyu-chaaaan[heart]

- Lisa-san, what a lovely yukata!
- Your grandma helped me put it on [clef]
- I see. Grandma does a class for how to wear traditional clothing.
- Wow~~! Then let’s both wear kimono on New Years [heart]
Kurando: Did the sugar from the jar get through?

12-----
- You seem well.

- Yes, very well!
- And big brother’s complexion’s become brighter!

- Complexion…
- Mafuyu-chan, listen to this, Kurando he…
- Big brother is so…
- What kinda talk is that!!

13-----
- What are you drinking, Kurando?
- Water.
- …how much do you weigh?
- I reckon… over 45kg?
- What!? You gotta gain more weight!!

- Ahahahaha!

- Mafuyu seems to be enjoying herself.
- I shouldn’t ask her now.

- It’s nagging at me.
- Mafuyu’s words at that time, which I can’t remember…

- Oh yeah, big brother!
- Mother said you should show your face at home once in a while.

14-----
- What face is that?

- Big brother is always like this.

- Mafuyu-chan!? [linked] Wai…

- The truth is, mother has completely rejected me…
- but… because she treasures Mafuyu, she doesn’t have the heart to tell her.

15-----
- Letting Mafuyu get injured [linked] left mother with painful memories, I understand that!
- But, I! [linked] Even though me and Mafuyu are twins…!

- There are things in this world that can’t be done no matter how hard you try!!
- I don’t want to yet I know it well… [linked] Running away from mother and Mafuyu, I can’t do anything…!!

- Kurando can do it!!!

16-----
- But for now, go after Mafuyu-chan!!
- Or you’ll be hated!!!

- Kuh…!

- There’s just no helping it, sheesh!

17-----
- Dammit! [linked] This park to too gigantic and complicated, geez!

- …that was the first time I had say something like that to me.

- But, [linked] for Lisa to say I’ll be hated…
- She’s a difficult one.

18-----
- Beg pardon.

- No, it’s my fault…
- Ah.

- Did you see a female [other guy] / girl [Kurando] with long black hair?
- Eh?

- I’m really worried~~
- Should I follow them~~? [linked] No, no, this is where Kurando has to step in!

19-----
- I’m looking for my older sister. [linked] She has a weak constitution, so I’m worried…

- Eh, ah!
- Well, I made my little sister mad, and she might’ve gone this way…
- What am I saying?

- This is the first time I’ve been in this park, and I don’t really know where to search.
- Same here!
- How about this! We’ll each keep an eye out for the other.

- If we find someone that fits the description then, umm…[linked] we’ll meet up at the clocktower at the center of this park to exchange.
- Okay.

- I hope we find them.
- Me too!

20-----
- Big brother is always like this. [linked] When there’s something painful or that he doesn’t like,
- he squints up his eyes as if he doesn’t see them.

- I can’t…
- stand it with just the two of us, mother and I…
- Mafuyu!!!

21-----
- Why is it a bridge again!?
- Huff…
- Rasp…
- Huff…
- If I don’t say something…

- It’s dangerous! You’ll fall!
- Uh,
- No good, it’s just like that time!!
- Umm…

- Lisa told me she wanted me!!

22-----
- Lisa is always completely open and sincere about her feelings!
- Big brother?
- Sincerely laughing, sincerely angry… and she’s also sincere when she’s beating me up! [linked] Lisa won’t ever lie to herself or to me!!

- When… when I want to give up because I can’t do something,
- Lisa is there to tell me I can do it!

- I…
- don’t dislike being with Lisa!!

23-----
- Huh!? [linked] For some reason what’s coming out of my mouth isn’t what I’m thinking!?

- …Mafuyu?

- Ahahahahahah!
- Wow, geez big brother!
- I heard a super embarrassing confession!!

- H,
- Heey, don’t laugh so hard in that kind of place, it’s dangerous…

- Geez~~~

- Ah…

24-----
- Mafuyu!!
- Why do these kinds of things always happen to us!!

- I remember! I’m so dim-witted…
- Running away by myself, deliberately forgetting Mafuyu’s words!!

25-----
- That day was grandpa’s funeral, but grandma was the only one sad.
- Mother and the relatives kept squabbling, and I couldn’t stand being in that place any longer…

- I brought Mafuyu with me to that bridge.
- And between us,
- we talked about whether we’d also become the kind of adults who won’t be sad no matter who dies.

- I feel sad when big brother is sad. But—
- But, if we became completely emotionless, won’t that be the saddest thing of all?
- I don’t make you think those things anymore!!!

26-----
- Mafuyu.

- Kya…!
- No way! We’re flying!?
- B, big brother…

27-----
- It’s alright.
- Big brother!

- It won’t be happening anytime soon, but…
- I’ll go see mother. And you. [linked] I have a lot of things I want to say.

- So everything’s alright now…

28-----
- Big brother, you were flying in the sky just now weren’t you!?

- I know you’re here, come out, Lisa!

- Ehehehehe…
- You found me out?

- I flew. [linked] So it was obvious, idiot.

29-----
- Ever since we were little,
- for me, and for Mafuyu,

- Being able to see Kurando’s face when he’s genuinely smiling is…

- Mwehehehe ufufufu[heart]
- What, you’re really weird.
- Ufufufufu.
- Mafuyu too!

- Hey, hey, how were you able to do something so extraordinary?
- …I’ll explain that too someday. [linked] Not today, I’m wiped out…
- Heeheeheeheehee.
- Lisa, you should see your face right now.

30-----
- Kurandooo, why are we back here again?
- Nothing, just a little…

- Heeey.

31-----
- How about you? Still can’t find her? [linked] We can look together…
- She’s already resting in the car. [linked] I was just worried about you guys.

- I see.
- That’s good.

- Just looking out for each other.
- Well then…

- Who? [linked] You know him?
- No, I don’t.

32-----
- Sorry about today. I caused trouble for you.
- Don’t worry about it.

Text down right side of page: Enemies who didn’t know each other’s faces helping each other out. Is their meeting a coincidence? We’ll see…

- What’s wrong then?
- How rare, you’re flustered.

- Big sister… no,
- Vritra. [linked] I met the enemy today.

- Continued in chapter 13
