This story is a simple illustration of the three sisters of the Minami household.
Please do not expect too much out of it.
Also, please watch this in a well-lit room, 3 meters away from the television.
Such nice weather this morning.
Oh no!
Haruka-neesama, good morning.
Good morning, Chiaki.
I'll help you with something.
Hmm, sure. Well then, could you peel the carrots for me?
Okay.
Good morning!
Today is Sunday.
The day of the week when you have the most free time.
In light of this freedom...
First, I'll go back to sleep!
Back to sleep. Back to sleep. Back to sleep.
Good night.
Back to sleep! Back to sleep!
Is that all you have to say?
Can't you say something better than that, like...
"You already have your hair done."
or like, "Help me with something!"?
Then I'll leave the potatoes up to you.
Roger!
Well, good night.
That's so mean.
I'm home.
Welcome home.
But wait, come to think of it, you should come home a lot earlier so that you can play with me,
serve me, worship me, amuse me... all your sworn duties as my little sister!
If this is true,
what the hell were you doing coming home this late?
Making up such illogical nonsense, and you dare go so far as to demean me, you brat?
This is... well...
I should do my homework.
I'm sorry. Please play with me.
I'm so bored.
Bored? I thought you had to prepare dinner.
Huh?
I'm going to be home late tonight so take care of dinner for me, okay?
That is what Haruka-neesama said.
Alrighty, good luck.
Please help me, Chiaki-sama.
I want to finish up my homework.
You know my cooking skills, don't you?
If you let me loose now, you know what's going to happen.
After you're done with homework and you're starving, you'll experience the dreadful meal that awaits you.
There'll even be seconds waiting for you.
I'll force you to eat every last bite.
So just help me.
Alrighty, what should we make?
First of all, check what we have in the fridge.
Okie dokie.
Surprisingly, there's nothing in the fridge.
The cook is outraged.
There's nothing that can be made with these ingredients.
What's important in cooking is skill.
After that, passion, and then good ingredients.
However, your skills are hardly decent. Plus, there's zero passion.
Without any ingredients to mask your abominations,
your food would surely end up rotting in the trash.
Where are you going?
I'm going to order some take out.
I'll make dinner.
Ordering out isn't allowed.
Kana, don't get so upset.
With one phone call, happiness will come back to the dinner table.
If I back out now, my pride as an older sister would be broken.
You shouldn't worry about that now.
More importantly, we've been too focused on making a meal for dinner.
A meal that disregards the norm and is easy to make but tasty...
So, why don't we make pancakes?
That's good.
That sounds really good!
Good work, Kana.
That's right! You love pancakes, don't you?
And any kind of idiot could make them too.
I'll start by stir-frying you first.
Hey Chiaki, let's mix in some fruit!
Huh?
Yogurt might be good too,
and maybe some juice.
Wait! Experiments by novices are too dangerous.
Pancakes are supposed to be simple like this.
It's all good, it's all good.
It'll be great since they're sweet.
Alrighty, let's start cookin'!
I-It's not hardening...
Of course it isn't. It's not thick enough.
The powder?
There's no more left.
Well... let's just call it cream stew.
I'm home.
I'm sorry I got home so late.
Here, drink up some cream stew.
Come on, there's seconds of the cream stew.
I'm so sorry...
I hate you, professor.
Wait, Ninomiya-kun.
Let go! Let go of me, Sensei.
I lied to you.
I don't care how society will judge me.
I love you, Ninomiya-kun.
Sensei...
The popular Loin-cloth Festival was held today with a substantial number of attendees.
On to other news...
Haruka-neesama...
Just now, that male professor and that female student were kissing...
Chiaki, was school fun today?
Umm, yes.
Wasn't that thing you said earlier a tad strange?
Well, I want Chiaki to know about those kind of things,
but I panicked and didn't know how to explain it.
Alright. As her big sis, I'll have to show her what a kiss really is.
Don't tell her anything weird, okay?
Kana, just now that male professor and that female student were kissing...
Yeah, and about that...
Don't you think if those kind of things are shown in prime time, that viewers would be a little uneasy?
Well, it's not really something you'd watch as a family.
Then, Chiaki, can you explain to me why they would feel uneasy?
Explain? Well, it's bad because they're kissing, right?
Then what part of a kiss is bad?
Why are you so frustrated?
Someone who's never kissed before shouldn't condemn kissing!
Then have you kissed someone yet?
I haven't.
Do you wanna try?
N-No way.
Ow...
I said no!
We're sisters. What's there to be embarrassed about?
Shut up!
Don't you understand that there are some things that sisters shouldn't do?
You idiot!
Wait!
Stop it!
What are you two doing?
I'm trying to kiss a little sister that really doesn't want to.
Ha-Haruka-neesama...
If she doesn't want it then stop pestering her.
Maybe you can kiss Haruka instead.
Yeah, Haruka would have more experience, so she should be able to teach you better.
So, you two, pucker up!
Hey, Kana, wake up.
If you don't wake up, you're going to be late.
It's an order from Haruka-neesama.
W-A-K-E U-P.
Kana, are you awake yet?
What are you girls doing?
Has the food been prepared yet, Okami?
Hey there, stupid.
Are you the Okami?
An Okami is a female manager of a restaurant or resort, so when a customer asks for the Okami, they want service ASAP.
What the hell you calling me an Okami for?!
I've been saying for a while that we're going to be late.
Don't you understand?
I understand your reasoning.
However, not eating breakfast is bad for your body, isn't it?
Then Haruka-neesama and I are going to be fine.
So you don't care about me whatsoever?
The fact that you're going to feel bad doesn't worry me at all.
What kind of a younger sister are you?
But Haruka, you're different, right?
You can eat this on your way to school.
It's not enough...
Then let's wake up early tomorrow, okay?
Even your feelings aren't enough.
You're really oblivious to our situation, aren't you?
Huh?
Even if you keep whining now, we're just going to be even more late, and no one will be happy.
But if you go to school...
If I go...
If I go, what'll happen?
I'll be satiated in mind and body?
It's obvious.
At school, there is a thing called "lunch time," a guaranteed source for nourishment.
Alright then ladies, if we don't hurry, we'll be late!
Stand. Bow.
What happened to you, Kana?
Strangely, you've looked exhausted ever since this morning.
Keiko, never, throughout all the days of my life, have I felt more stupid than today.
I was fooled by Chiaki so easily.
D-Did something happen?
Lunch time isn't until around noon, is it?
What's the problem with that?
I wasn't expecting such a common response like that.
Don't you see, Keiko?
Your best friend is dying of starvation right before your eyes!
Don't you feel like you need to help?
What do you want me to do?
Bring some food here, right now!
But first period ended just now, so...
That devilish Chiaki.
What does she want me to do...
Besides, Chiaki-chan and I have nothing to do with each other.
Oh... so hungry...
Hmm?
We've got trouble!
It's really serious.
Get off.
What happened, "boy who cried wolf"?
It's really, really serious.
This thing was in my locker.
Is this... a love letter?
Don't put two dots on "fu" and say "love".
In Japanese lettering, the hiragana for "fu" with two dots turns into "bu", the second letter of "love" in Japanese.
Was it in this condition to begin with?
Nah, that's how it got when I grabbed it with sweaty hands.
Really, you've gotten old enough to start getting love letters?
Haruka-neesama, I don't think age has much to do with it.
Can I read it?
D-Don't read it out loud, got it?
I'm sorry to suddenly leave you a message like this.
Ever since the day I met you, I felt my eyes following you ever so relentlessly.
I admire your energetic and pushy personality.
If it isn't too much trouble, I would like to talk to you after class, just the two of us.
Such an embarrassing guy.
Did she read it out loud?
Did the audience feel the emotions in the letter?
It's a love letter from Fujioka-kun.
You there. The word "love" is prohibited.
What kind of person is Fujioka-kun?
He's a guy in the same class as me.
Come to think of it, he's a regular player in the soccer team...
and I've heard rumors about how popular he is with all the girls.
I see, I see... if I flaunt him around, then I can show off to everyone.
Seeking brand-name items is shallow and depressing.
Are you jealous, Chiaki?
You're jealous of this model big sis.
This big sis, walking around with such a handsome man.
Get off.
Get down from there.
I can understand how elated you must be,
but there are a few suspicious points about this letter.
Like what?
Why would a popular guy like this spend time writing a love letter to someone like you?
Objection!
What bugs me is the "energetic and pushy" part.
Doesn't that mean exactly what it says?
Yup. That's how I am!
It's not exactly something to be proud of.
Yes. That might be the reason.
What?
This part...
it can be read as, "You stand out a lot".
And in this part, "just the two of us" may represent a ring where no one will interfere.
A ring where no one would interfere!
And if you interpret his wording completely this way, it will sound something like this:
"A Letter of Challenge
Lately, you seem to stand out a lot.
It's quite an annoyance.
Let's end this with our fists, where no one will dare interfere.
Signed, The Ball-Kicking Badass, Fujioka."
Maybe he just has trouble expressing his feelings...
I won't allow this!
Stepping on my pure maiden heart like that.
Settle down, Kana.
Your enemy is a specialist with his feet?
You won't win by normal means.
Then how can I win, Chiaki-sama?
"-sama"?
Don't worry, Sister.
I have a plan.
Mi-Minami!
Y-You know...
I-I...
W-Why?
Your balance has been compromised.
And in turn, your golden right kicking leg has become useless.
I'm going to make you pay...
for fooling around with my pure maiden heart.
I'm home!
Welcome home.
So, how was it?
Was it entertaining?
You bums watching the TV.
You don't hold back for anyone, do you?
Next episode, "A Strange School."
If you want to watch next time, go ahead.
You're too invincible...
