117.

Yuka: Your brother saw his stalker?

Hikari: Yes...she said weird things like "I'm your little sister." // She's a girl wearing a dirty lolita dress...

Yuka: Maybe it's that! // "The Weird Lolita"?

Hikari: W-What's that?

118.

Yuka: It's an urban legend. / A girl dressed in lolita clothing appears at night and asks a question. // “Do you need a little sister?” // Hey. How would you answer, Hikari?

Hikari: Huh? // Well... // I'd say "I don't need one"!

Yuka: Right! // But when a guy with a little sister says that... // The lolita would come to kill the little sister, because “She's not needed”!

119.

Yuka: When someone without a little sister replies “I don't need one”, // she says "I don't need // that kind of brother!" // And then she kills them right there.

sfx bubble: click

120.

Hikari: T-Then... // What if someone answered // "I have one"?!

Yuka: "I have one"... // She thinks that they're saying "I need one", // then tries to become their little sister against their will!

[Note – "To need" and "To be" have the same pronunciation "iru", which makes the question ambiguous as to whether it's "Do you need a sister?" or "Do you have a sister?"]

Yuka: It's the same as saying "I don't have one". / If you don't have one, she'll say that she'll be your sister.

121.

Yuka: Whatever you say is no good.

sfx bubble: clatter

Yuka: It's said that you'll meet a twisted death in the end.

Girl: Hehe... // Hehe...

Yuka: That's why you mustn't answer!

122.

Yuka: S-Sorry, Hikari! Are you okay? / They're similar, but I'm sure they're not the same thing!

Hikari: O-Okay...

Yuka: Hey, Hikari! Seeing as you're here, / why not practice to take your mind off it?

Hikari: But the club activities are already over, right?

In panel text: No one's here.

Yuka: I told the teacher and got permission to stay behind and practice.

In panel text: Because there's a tournament soon.

Yuka: Hey, Hikari! Practice with me!

Hikari: O-Okay...then I'll go get my gym clothes from the classroom.

Yuka: Great ♥

123.

Hikari: I see...it's the weekend, so the lights are off... // I'm scared of the dark...

sfx bubble: bang

124.

Hikari: Guess it was my imagination...

125.

Yuka: Ah...jeez! // Hikari...that was quick!

126.

Yuka: Umm...what do you want?

Girl: Hikari... // Where... // Hey... // Where?

Yuka: Hikari's not here right now!

127.

Girl: That can't be! // She's an idiot, so I'm sure she came!

Yuka: Are you... // the stalker who attacked Hikari?!

Girl: Stalker...? // What are you talking about? // I'm a "little sister"!

128.

sfx bubble: annoyed

Yuka: What kind of crazy stuff are you talking about?

Yuka: From anyone's point of view, what you're doing is stalking! // If you don't understand that, then you'd better get yourself checked out! // Anyway, you're an annoyance!

Yuka: Hikari is upset because of you! / Don't come near her again! // If you understand, then get out right now...

Yuka: AHHH! // Ahhh!

Girl: If Hikari's an idiot, her friend must be too. // I'm a stalker?

131.

Girl: I'm sorry for you! Your heart is twisted, // so the world must look twisted too.

Yuka: Uh...

Girl: Is there anything else twisted? // Ah, your hand!

Girl: The filthy hand that pushed me away earlier? // No good! It's quite twisted! // I'll fix it for you!

132.

Yuka: ...!!

Girl: It's still twisted... // Twisted! Twisted! // Twisted!

Yuka: No!!!

Girl: That looks better. // It's unbalanced, so I'll do the other one too.

Yuka: Ahhh! // Uh...

133.

Girl: Ah...your mouth is so warped, it's disgusting. // That's right, it's the mouth that mocked me. // I'll fix it.

Girl: I'm sure you'll be cute when you aren't twisted!

Yuka: S-Stop...

Hikari: Yuka...sorry to make you wait! // Oh? Why are the lights off...? // Yuka...? // Yuka's glasses...

136.

Hikari: Yuka... // Huh? Don't scare me.

Hikari: Hey, your glasses... / What happened to them?

sfx bubble: shake

Hikari: What's the matter? Are you okay? / I'll go and call someone...

137.

Hikari: Okay...? // Yu... // ka...?

138.

Girl: Hikari-chan. // Let's play. // Let's play tag. // I'll be “it”. // Okay?

139.

Girl: Hehe... // Hehe... // Where are you looking?

Girl [small bubbles] Hehe

Girl [large bubbles] I'm here. // Over here.
