Yuzucchi, you okay?!

If you need to vent, just dump it all on me.

Don't go all quiet on me like this.

I seriously can't even think about you being gone.

Harumin, thanks for encouraging me.

There's still some things I have to do.

I don't really get it, but it looks like you're feeling better.

The Yuzucchi I know is back.

This is love.

I don't care about status...

or what others think.

I have to see my feelings through!

I won't run away anymore!

Pardon me!

Grandfather!

He's asleep right now.

Huh?

Well now, a girl about your age with bleached hair really helped out.

She stuck with around the whole time until things settled down.

Then she asked us over and over again to contact his granddaughter.

I'm glad I met her.

Shoot, I fell asleep.

Grandpa?

Oh, sorry.

I'll go home.

Wait.

Shoot. I can't look at her.

I-I have to say something.

I'm not sure I can talk to her like I used to if our eyes meet...

But that's enough!

I decided not to run anymore!

U-Um!

Use my name.

Huh?

My name is Mei.

The nurse told me earlier.

She couldn't tell who to call earlier you didn't say my name.

I figured you must not be using my name because you didn't remember it.

That's...

Because I couldn't say her name after she suddenly did that to me...

Even if we're sisters, I don't feel like you're my big sister when we're in the same grade.

Despite that, I think we should at least use each other's names.

That's part of being a family, right?

She thinks of me as...

You looked like you wanted me to touch you.

Then will you...

She never even tried to say my name, but...

Now, she's...

Also, could you tell our mother not to worry?

...trying to move forward.

All right.

Well, I'm going home!

I'll be back to pay another visit tomorrow!

Good night, Mei!

Hello. Mama?

Sorry, I'll be right home.

Yeah, she said that.

She called us family.

She said to tell you not to worry!

Yeah! We're happy sisters—

Hello? Yuzu?

Sisters, huh?

Building 1

Oh, over here!

Patient Reception

Waiting Room

Morning, Mei!

That's my second time using her name.

I'm heading to his room.

Huh? Y-Yeah!

Um, I know it's awkward bringing this up first thing in the morning, but...

We need to talk.

About your expulsion?

Y-Yes!

Before we get to that, I need to thank you.

Sorry for the trouble I caused yesterday.

No, no, there's no need to thank me.

I only did what anyone else would have.

Besides...

Grandpa, I couldn't ignore a family member who'd collapsed.

Well, that's not the whole reason,

but I've decided to revoke your expulsion.

Huh?!

I heard about the other day from Mei.

It seems I was being too prideful both as an educator and a grandfather.

I'd like to take this hospitalization as an opportunity to reflect on my shortcomings.

She spoke to him on my behalf...

Also, Mei, you should take this time to make your own choices.

Grandfather?

Understand?

Yes.

Thanks, Mei.

I didn't do anything.

Hey, Mei! Come home to our place!

Grandpa said you should do as you please, after all!

Mama said she's lonely without you, too!

Come on!

My father's simply absent. That home is still my home, too.

I'd return to it even without you asking.

And so I returned to life at school like nothing had happened...

Yuzucchi!

Welcome back, Yuzucchi!

Harumin! Stop, cut it out!

I thought I'd never see you again!

Hey!

No one else knows about that, okay?!

Sorry for the trouble I've caused.

Mei-chan!

Welcome home!

Maybe my pushy invitation helped bring it about,

but Mei came back home.

What are you doing?

Hmm?

He was hurt, so I'm treating him.

Don't do that without permission.

Did you sew this up?

What about it?

You're surprisingly...

What?

Well, um...

Oh, what's his name?

Name?

What do you call him?

Mei-chan, Mei-chan!

Thank you for caring for me this long!

I hope you'll continue to... love... me, Ansoniko!

Ansoniko?

Huh?

The other day my grandma—

You two.

Oh, Mei!

Quit carrying on out here. Hurry into your classrooms.

We weren't being loud.

'Kay!

What the heck?

Why won't you call me by my first name?

I love you, Onee-chan!

No, Aiko! We're sisters!

No! I can't...

lie about my feelings for you anymore!

I see.

Big sisters don't get called by name, huh?

Hmm? What did you say?

Oh, it's nothing.

Hmm...

Harumin...

What do you think I should do to get along better with my sister?

You mean the student council president?

Good luck, "Onee-chan."

So that's why you've been reading something like this?

Don't look!

Well, even though we just got put together, she's still my little sister.

Our statuses and the way we live are completely different,

so I wonder if she's having trouble understanding me.

That reminds me, I hardly know Mei.

Hey, what are you doing?!

Well, it had positions for two women in it, so...

I-I can't do things like that!

[Sightseeing] I took a trip to Kyoto

Ninenzaka

You idiot! Keep your voice down!

I wasn't saying we'd do it!

I'm home.

Stops on the way home are against school rules.

What were you doing?

Oh, well, looking into some things.

Honestly, what were you up to?

I thought I could get your help putting it together.

Putting what together?

Ta-dah!

A double bed!

You always said you wanted to sleep in a bed, right?

You have more space now, too,

so I thought it would be a great way to celebrate Mei-chan's return!

What? It's so wonderful you're speechless?

I-I'm going to go take a shower.

Huh? Dinner's almost ready, so wait until afterward!

Yuzu! You're making a mess!

This is bad.

This is bad.

This is super bad!

It became bedtime before I knew it!

Plus, Mei honestly seems to be accepting all of this.

She's already asleep, too.

What do I do?

My heart's pounding so hard.

Mei's going to hear it.

I can feel the warmth of her body.

I want to touch her.

Her hair.

Her skin.

Even if its just my fingertips.

What?

Huh? No, um!

Sorry.

What am I even doing?

Mei?

It's hot trying to sleep under the same covers.

Maybe your natural body temperature is high.

I-I don't think it is.

Hey, are you planning to sleep by yourself?

Yes. I don't want to be woken up every night by your tossing and turning.

Hey, Mei?

Why won't you call me by my first name?

Is it hard to use it because I'm your older sister?

Then...

Don't get the wrong idea.

Using our names is only necessary around outsiders.

We might be family now, but that doesn't mean I plan on getting close.

I have no interest in you.

Then why did you do that to me?

I don't think kissing is something you do with people you're not interested in.

Because you were bothering me.

This was the easiest way to shut you up.

See?

You're awful.

Maybe so.

I'm going to sleep!

Stupid Mei.

Ah, jeez, why are they punishing us with cleaning just for making a stop?

You can't do anything with the student council president living with you.

Sorry I dragged you into this, Harumin.

No, it's no big deal.

I have no interest in you.

This was the easiest way to shut you up.

Maybe so.

Why did she have that look in her eyes then?

That all hurt me, you know!

Watch it, Yuzucchi! Don't get it dirty! Clean it!

There, there.

If only I could bring myself to hate her...

Again?!

There's another student here who didn't take their textbooks home!

Vice President, here!

What?!

There's a clear pattern of students growing more lax lately.

It's all because of...

Student ID

Grade: High School 1st Year, Class A Name: Aihara Yuzu

this blonde transfer student!

That's enough for today.

Leave the rest to me. You two go on home.

But...

If you insist, President.

That student...

Aihara Yuzu?

What can we do to correct her behavior?

I can't accept this.

Man, I'm beat.

You lost your temper there, Yuzucchi.

So what about our trip home?

Want to grab some ice cream?

You never give up, huh, Harumin?

Hmm?

Well, after working up a sweat like this,

I need to eat something cold to keep going.

Even the student council president would overlook a reward that small, right?

Come to the Chairman's office.

Sorry, Harumin.

I remembered something I have to do!

Go on without me!

Huh?!

This is a first!

Mei's asking to see me.

Hey! No running in the halls!

That was...

Mei!

Could you at least knock?

U-Um!

Sorry for saying those mean things yesterday!

I just let my temper get the better of me.

I didn't call you here to make you apologize.

Huh?

Huh? Then...

This was found in your belongings.

Peach Sisters

That's the manga I bought in secret yesterday.

I left it in my bag.

I don't know what you were intending to do with this,

but I wonder what mother would think if she saw it.

Especially when we just became sisters.

I'm the only who's seen this.

I don't want any more bad rumors starting over this, so quickly dispose of—

You! We're in the school! What are you thinking?!

This is all because you kissed me!

I don't understand it, either!

Before I knew it, Mei was all I could think about.

I can't go back anymore.

I'm sorry I'm such a bad sister.

I've been the president's best friend since childhood!

I hurt Mei...

I've been watching over her since the day we met.

What's with you today? You're acting strange.

Please look at me.
