This is a very, very rough translation of Yotsuba’s light novel from Sister Princess. There are seven stories, with titles in bold.
broken unicorn
Yotsuba has promised to go out with her older brother Chama today!
Big Bro…where will he take Yotsuba? An amusement park, a boules, a candy store…oh, or maybe a popsicle♡
Today was actually a shopping day for Yotsuba — well, Yotsuba has to go to a new school from now on, so she needs to prepare for that by buying notebooks, rubbers, socks, and all sorts of things! That’s what I was supposed to do, but… since I’m with my older brother, I’m going to buy some things.
I want to go somewhere more, well, fun!
Well, Yotsuba is from England!
Of course, the reason is… I want to check out Yotsuba’s older brother Chama, who loves Dai.
Tame Death
Yotsuba and her older brother Chama are very close siblings, but they grew up apart. Yotsuba has been in England since she was so little she can no longer remember, and in all that time she has never met her older brother Chama. So when she first heard that Yotsuba had a new older brother Chama, she was really, really surprised! Oh, and at the same time, she was also incredibly happy!!! Because, just thinking about Yotsuba having a new older brother Chama makes her heart beat faster, her face starts to smile, her cheeks start to puff up, and she feels so happy that she wants to shout to everyone in the world, “Yotsuba has a new older brother Chama!”
So, ever since then, I’ve been wondering about Yotsuba… and from far away England, I’ve been thinking hard about my brother Chama. I wonder what kind of person my precious brother Chama is…
Mr. Ichi??………………And hair
Brother Chama is… tall? Or short? …Also, is his hair long? Or short? Does his face resemble Yotsuba’s? Or is it completely different? Does he speak in a high-pitched voice, like a harmonica teacher singing? Or is it low-pitched, like a bus driver announcing departure? Oh…and does he wear glasses? Or do he not?
Right?…Do your eyes sparkle like stars? Or…maybe they don’t shine at all…
And then…
The truth is, what I was most worried about was… Yotsuba…whether she would fall in love with me…
So, like this… I came to Japan and met my very kind brother… Yotsuba is very, very happy! I want to know everything about him ♡ So from now on, I’ll take lots of instax pictures of him right in front of me, and make up for the time we’ve been apart… Really
They become really close siblings. … Ah, the real brother,
How different it was from what I had imagined is a secret after all!
Hehehe, Yotsuba sent lots of airmail from England and did her best to investigate secretly, but… it didn’t hit the target very well… so sad. Ah, but I can say this much! Yotsuba’s older brother Chama, whom she met after coming to Japan, was much kinder than Yotsuba had expected… and the most handsome man… Kufufufu
So today I’m going out with my brother Chama, and I think,
But I’m getting excited…..wow, I feel like jumping up and down.
After finishing her shopping, Yotsuba eats banana cake with her brother Chama.
It’s so sticky… Ah, but I wonder if my brother likes banana cake? …Hmm
Well, okay, let’s forget about “Does my brother like banana cake?” today.
I have to take a photo without doing anything!
Well then… We’ll soon be at my brother Chama’s house!
My brother Chama’s house is
The first place I remembered after coming to Japan… Ah, my big brother Chama is already at the door!
Yeaaah, I wonder if my brother couldn’t wait any longer and came out
“Kyaah–, Big Brother Chammer, sorry to have kept you waiting–“
“Ah…Yotsuba!”
But… when Big Bro saw Yotsuba’s face, he looked very flustered… As he put on his shoes, he said, “Sorry Yotsuba, I have to go get something I forgot,” and tossed his keys towards Yotsuba, then said, “I’ll be right back!” and ran off… Wow… Big Bro is pretty fast at running… Wait, that’s not right! That’s not it…
“Well, then, what are you planning on going out?!”
……………There was no other way, so Yotsuba opened the door and went to her brother Chama’s room.
I made it up. But… as soon as I looked around the room, I noticed something! Wow, this could be my big chance!?!?!
It was like… My brother’s room had a strange smell… a nostalgic smell. It was a place I didn’t know well, but it felt like I’d known it for a long time.
“Hmm, where should I start? Okay, let’s start with this bookshelf… I’ll check out Aniki-chama’s secrets ♡ Aniki-chama… What kind of books does he read?
…But first, Yotsuba looked at her brother Chama’s bookshelf…and then she noticed something familiar on the shelf…A pure white bone china unicorn…
“…This…is the same one Yotsuba has…”
It’s a unicorn that has been in Yotsuba’s room since she was a child. …Why is it in her brother Chama’s room?
Yotsuba’s feeling of wonder grew even more intense, so she decided to take a closer look and picked up the unicorn. However, the moment she did so, the unicorn’s foot kicked her hand, as if it hated her. The unicorn then fell to the floor.
Gashan…
I quickly picked up Yotsuba, but one of the unicorn’s back legs was broken.
“What should I do… I just wanted to take a quick look…”
Yotsuba is so sad she could cry! This happened while her brother was away… I wonder if she can glue her leg back together? When her brother comes back, he’ll surely hate her…
“Can’t they stick together with sun and moon glue? When my brother Chama comes back, he’ll surely hate Yotsuba.
…Uh, waaaah!
…But just as Yotsuba started crying…
Yotsuba noticed that there was something written on the bottom of the unicorn’s paw that was still in her hand. It said… “For Yotsuba’s 2nd birthday” …
“Oh dear? This is…”
It was… when did it start…? The pure white unicorn was always right beside Yotsuba, watching over her… When she noticed, it was already with her… Yotsuba had no idea who gave it to her. But the pure white unicorn protects the proof of an innocent girl… Yotsuba always felt like the unicorn was protecting her whenever it was nearby.
S… This could be… No, I’m wrong, I’m sure, absolutely sure, this unicorn was a gift from my older brother Chama… from my older brother Chama who came all the way from Japan…
“Big Brother… Yotsuba, I’m so happy… I could cry.”
Anichama… I’m so sorry, Yotsuba, for breaking your unicorn. But… but… thanks to that, I was able to get a glimpse of Anichama’s feelings… feelings that Yotsuba never knew existed… Yotsuba and Anichama were separated for so long, but… in reality, they’ve been connected for a long, long time ♡ Anichama… I’ll bring you the unicorn that Yotsuba has next time, to replace the unicorn that you broke! And Anichama… I wonder if you’ll tell me about those days…
The culprit is in this room!
Huh? Yay! Today, my older brother Chama came to Yotsuba’s house… and it’s the day we’ll study together!! Muhuhuhu, aren’t you jealous?
Yotsuba’s big brother Chama, who she loves, is a very kind person, so the other day when Yotsuba said to him, “I don’t understand something about my studies, what should I do?” he said, “Then I’ll teach you,” and gave Yotsuba a big smile… hehe
Ping pong…..
Oh! It’s my big brother! Kyaaaa♡ Big Brother! I’ve been waiting for you.
When his older brother Chama arrived, he stood at the entrance of the house with a big smile on his face and put on the head of Yotsuba.
I tapped it and said, “Let’s do our best today!”
Studying with Anichama on the sofa in the living room… normally she hates studying, but somehow it’s so much fun that she wishes it was always like this. Yotsuba learned a lot from Anichama! Yotsuba isn’t very good at Japanese, but when she said that, Anichama laughed and said that it’s only natural since she’d been abroad for so long, and he also taught her that when thinking about something, it’s better not to try to think about many things at once, but to start from the edge and do one thing at a time. When Yotsuba is studying, she always thinks about Anichama, so maybe that’s a bad thing?
And while I was having fun studying with my brother like that, I heard a boom boom boom sound, and at the same time, I heard Yotsuba’s stomach growl.
“Ah! It’s already 3 o’clock♡”
…Kufufufufu♡ Finally, it’s snack time, the thing Yotsuba has been looking forward to the most today! When Yotsuba starts to put away her textbooks and notebooks with great speed, her brother… looks a little surprised. Muffufu… …Wait for me, Brother! I knew you were coming today, so I prepared a special snack that Yotsuba loves… Ah, but don’t tell Brother yet. I’ll bring it out suddenly and surprise you even more♡
So Yotsuba cleared the table, told her brother Chama to just wait a moment, and left the room. Then she returned from the dining room with today’s snacks…
As soon as Yotsuba came into the room with a big plate on her head, her brother’s nose started twitching ♡ And then, he took the plate Yotsuba handed him.
He looked so happy when he saw it. Kufufu… My brother did it too.
Wow… I’m getting hungry now!
“Hahahaha, doesn’t it look delicious? Today’s snack is special donuts made by Yotsuba. Yotsuba is good at making donuts, I wonder how many my older brother Chama can eat… Now, let’s eat together with Yotsuba… Oh! That’s right!”
But then I realized… That’s not good! Yotsuba, the donut
I was so preoccupied with the situation that I forgot to bring tea! Milk tea is the best to go with donuts ♡ Aniki-chama had already opened his mouth, so he looked disappointed, but Yotsuba told Aniki-chama to wait just a little longer, stood up, and went back to the dining room to make the milk tea! After all… without hot, fragrant milk tea, the donuts would be useless! Aniki-chama… just wait just a little longer, once this milk and water boil, it’ll be ready soon…
put milk tea in it
…But this was Yotsuba’s secret… When Yotsuba returned to her room with the milk tea… There…
“Ugh, there’s one donut missing!!”
From the plate of donuts on the table, the donut that should have been on top
One donut was missing! On top of it was a fortune donut with a fortune slip inside, which Yotsuba had made especially for her brother Chama. He was supposed to be the first to eat it… Yotsuba instinctively ran over to the plate, took out her usual magnifying glass and counted the donuts, but…
“One, two, three… I guess there’s still one missing… Ha!
Big Brother Chama, could it be that…?」
And when Yotsuba turned to ask his brother Chama, he choked loudly, “Umm… gah… cough cough cough.”
Ah! I knew it would happen… “Hey, big brother, are you okay?”
Yotsuba stroked her brother Chama’s back and thought to herself, “Now, Brother Chama…”
Is it something to do with Fuji?!?! Kuri… How dare you make Yotsuba’s brother Chama suffer like this…Yotsuba will never forgive you!
“So there’s a donut thief out there! How terrible! Yotsuba, I’ll definitely catch him.
And then Yotsuba… she tried her best to act tantei!
First, check to see if there are any intruder footprints anywhere in the room!
Well, it looks like there are no footprints…
Then, check to see if there’s a rope hanging from the ceiling for an intrusion.
Key… Hmm, it looks like there’s no sign of it…
Next…knock on the wall to see if there’s a way out.
Kon… mmm, your lips are so tightly packed…
<! These fingerprints… ah… there are some fingerprints on the keys! Um… and don’t forget to check the power on the donut plate.
If it gets to this point with Ameshu, the last resort is to check for signs of intrusion from under the floor, remove the seika and check. Hmm, removing the carpet is… quite difficult… Ah, Aniki-chama, if you’d like, please help… Ah! It’s Aniki-chama… I’m sorry… Hmm… It can’t be helped, okay, sorry you’re choking again, are you okay? That’s bad – dust has come out of the carpet, so let’s draw a conclusion here… Aniki-chama, please listen carefully!
“There are no signs of intrusion anywhere… Therefore, the culprit is in this room! …Wait, what? Only Yotsuba and her brother are in this room.
But as soon as Yotsuba said that, my brother Cha, who had been in pain up until then,
“…I ate it.”
Etsu?
As Yotsuba lay upside down, his brother told him with a bashful look on his face. He said that he was really hungry and couldn’t wait any longer, so he ate it.
Just like Anichama… Yotsuba had no idea… Hmm, but Anichama… Ah, it’s true! There’s some suspicious powder on there! When Yotsuba looked at Anichama’s mouth with a magnifying glass, she saw some fine, sparkling white sand on the corner of his mouth… So Yotsuba picked up the powder with her finger and licked it… It was a lick.
“…Sweet death!”
, and ate the remaining donuts ♡ ・After watching the library,
The fortune that the two of them often found in Chama’s donuts was…. “A feeling of special happiness with cute Yochin♡”… Kufufufu! We did our best.
It was worth it
By the way, Yotsuba, I didn’t know that my brother liked donuts that much. Now, another secret has been added to Yotsuba’s secret file.
Discover the secret of your birth
Yotsuba was born on June 27th and is a Gemini!
In horoscope books, it says that Gemini is very rational and cool.
…………… Kufufu, it’s perfect for the great detective Yotsuba! Ah… but what bothers me is that it also says she’s a bit of a “cheater”
This is completely different from the truth! I mean, Yotsuba has never cheated on her… Cheating… is about someone who falls in love with many different people, right? Yotsuba has always been obsessed with her big brother, and she’s only interested in him! Yotsuba… is completely obsessed with him, so ever since she came to Japan and met him, she’s been thinking about taking Instax pictures of him every day, and the other day… she even fell down the stairs at home! Kufufu ♡ Big brother… is also thinking about Yotsuba…
Ah! I wonder if my brother is drunk… Then Yotsuba flies over and grabs my brother-chama in a gulp. My brother-chama must be my older brother, so he asks me, “How did you know?” and she says, “I’m always taking cheki photos of my brother-chama, so Yotsuba knows everything in the Ishin Denshin♡ Yotsuba and my brother-chama are the perfect couple♡”…
That’s right! Speaking of which… I wonder what the compatibility between Yotsuba and her brother is according to the horoscope? It’s so strange! Yotsuba, I forgot about Kanjin! I have to look into this right away… Kyaaa♡ My heart is beating hard! Is the compatibility really 1000%? Kufufu Maybe I’m being too greedy… Ah, but, according to Yotsuba’s deductions, I’m sure even at the worst it’s around 99%… Just kidding♡ Okay… Umm, what is the compatibility between Yotsuba and her brother?
A book on horoscopes…but what it said was…
I quickly flipped through the horoscope book… but what I found there was…
“The compatibility between the two of you is awful. You should either accept it as a passing love and just be realistic about your relationship, or you should take the plunge and look for someone new.
The worst….. That’s not true…. Brother Chama and Yotsuba…..they have 100% compatibility.
But… I wonder if Yotsuba’s deduction… was wrong? But, it’s really… strange, Yotsuba and her brother Chama are such good friends… Ah! That’s right!
“…There must be an error in my brother Chama’s date of birth♡… All right!”
So Yotsuba decided to go and find out about her brother Chama’s real birthday. Because… the birthday that has the worst compatibility with Yotsuba is the real birthday of her brother Chama.
There’s no way it’s my birthday! Kufufufufu
Well… my brother-chama should still be at school today, so first of all, wow, that’s amazing… I’m going to sneak into my brother-chama’s school to study! I’m going to take a photo of him in his tough shape! Ah… but if I go like this, my brother-chama will find me right away and say, “What are you doing!?”… My brother-chama is quite sensitive! I’m following Yotsuba… I get found out quite often, and it’s always a hassle ♡ – All right! Today, I’m going to transform into Yotsuba’s special disguise so that my brother-chama won’t know I’m Yotsuba, and then I’m off! Kufufufufufu, my brother-chama, be prepared and wait!
But… infiltrating my older brother Chama’s school was quite difficult.
Because… Yotsuba went there during the fourth period, just before lunch.
The school was quiet and it felt like there wasn’t much people around.
Theme: Shiro went there during the fourth period just before lunch.
The school was quiet and it felt like there wasn’t much of a crowd around. Yotsuba managed to sneak in by climbing over the fence of the schoolyard, but on her way to the school building, she was first spotted by a male teacher wearing a green tracksuit… He shouted in a loud voice, “Hey! What class are you in?” and chased after Yotsuba, swinging his arms wildly.
Yotsuba got scared and ran away in a panic.
And then, after that, we went inside the school building, and Yotsuba,
Not knowing where her older brother was, she walked around the hallway, but there was no one there… and she started to feel a little lonely. …So, she went up to the roof and finally found a boy… But then, Yotsuba suddenly realized something and tried to ask, “Do you know what class my older brother is in?”… The boy saw her and screamed, “Ahhhh!”… and ran away. I wonder why? …Ah, it must have been that boy.
Is the child doing something bad?
So, there was nothing I could do but feel disappointed in Yotsuba and go back downstairs.
………I was wondering where Michama had gone… But then… just as Yotsuba was about to turn a corner in the hallway, she smelled something nice and then heard a loud bell ring. Thinking what was going on, Yotsuba took a peek and saw that it was lunchtime.
Wow, everyone’s eating… Then, I looked into the classroom from the hallway window and watched everyone eating… and Yotsuba started to feel hungry too. …Oh no, I can’t find my older brother, so I guess I should go home for today. Oh, he’s probably taking the day off… Ah!
Ah!!! I found my older brother ♡
At that moment, Yotsuba finally found someone who looked like her brother Chama!
Aniki-chama left the classroom — Oh no! I have to hide so I won’t be seen! I went out into the hallway and started walking aimlessly. Oh no? Aniki-chama… where is he going by himself? But when Yotsuba secretly followed him… Aniki-chama walked straight into the boys’ bathroom!!!
“Eh, no way, my brother would do something like that… Yotsuba would be in trouble…♡ – But for my brother…” Uh
Yotsuba couldn’t help but blush and fidget, but… but! but, but! If it’s for her brother Chama… she’s not even going into the boys’ bathroom! Summoning all the courage she could muster, Yotsuba decided to follow her brother Chama into the boys’ bathroom.
And so, Yotsuba closed her eyes… clenched her fists, and began to walk away breathing heavily… when she suddenly noticed someone holding her head…
“Ah… What? I’m sorry…”
It was my brother Chama, laughing with a bright red face. His face was red and he was laughing painfully, saying, “Yotsuba is a girl, so you can’t go into the boys’ bathroom.”
“Well, if it’s for my brother, I don’t mind going to the men’s restroom… Ah,
Huh? Why is it Yotsuba… Kyaaa!!”
“Y-y-y-y-you’re wrong! I’m not Yotsuba! Look, take a good look at my face… Your cute little sister, Yotsuba-chan, is like this…”
I don’t have a good look on my face….Well, I guess I’ll let it go for today ♡ From now on, I’ll take better care of Yotsuba-chan
Yotsuba ran away in a panic! Her brother Chama was laughing loudly behind her.
I heard it… but I can’t look back!
And after that, while running home, Yotsuba made a firm decision.
Yes! Okay then… Since this has happened, I’ll definitely find out the birthdate of Aniki, who is a perfect match for Yotsuba! I’m ready for Aniki… Kufufufufu
invisible letter
On that day, Shishu was writing a letter to his older brother Chama.
To my beloved brother Chama
Yay! How is your brother doing?
Warm, warm spring has come…
Yotsuba’s nose is itchy!
I’m filled with a feeling of happiness ♡
So…Brother Chama,
Let’s go on a picnic with Yotsuba!
Do lots of secret fun things…
Um… there are lots of secret fun things… lots… ah!
This is no good. If someone were to see this letter, it would be a secret to everyone!
That’s because… we can’t let our secret be revealed to anyone other than Anichama and Yotsuba! …A fun, secret picnic just for Yotsuba and Anichama… After all, we have to keep the letter a secret as well…
It’s the big Kipo 48, brother 4hi
Kippo is a Pira and Tsu○sha
Yosu!!! My brother… it’s a comfortable feeling, and my nose is so cute, and my brother’s panties are so cute! It’s so cute!!! I’ll wait
I like the leaves, but it’s a month late, so I’m going to have a good time… I’m going to have a good time in the spring, so I’m going to have a good time… …
Wow, I did it!
Kufufufufu.
Brother Chama saw this
I wonder if they’ll be excited? When spring comes and it gets warmer,
I wonder if they’ll be excited to come? When spring comes and the weather gets warmer, we have to go on a picnic at least once! Pack a basket with lunch…
Ah, Yotsuba loves tomato sandwiches and toast with scrambled eggs ♡… Kufufufu, Yotsuba will make lots of donuts, her big brother Chama’s favorite! And don’t forget the malt vinegar chips and green apples… After we spread a big blanket on the grass and have lunch, maybe we can play cricket with her big brother Chama? In England, we can look for hedgehog holes… Do they exist in Japan? Big, round, spiky hedgehogs… ♡
The finished letter is neatly placed in a large white envelope and sealed with bright red wax so that no one can open it! The four-leaf seal is the letter “Y” from YOTSUB A ♡ Yes, I have to go and put it in the post right away!
and……………….
We went to the fountain in the park where we were supposed to meet. It ended up being a little late. But my brother had already arrived.
I thought he might be there if I was getting ready, so I hurried over, but Aniki-chama hadn’t arrived yet, so I wouldn’t be able to take a chekki of him! So I was a little worried. Wow, thank goodness! When Yotsuba got there, her brother came to meet her…Yotsuba sat on the fountain’s edge – because she had packed so many donuts in her basket to have a donut eating contest with Aniki-chama that it had become really heavy – and decided to wait for Aniki-chama.
But… that’s the thing… No matter how long I wait…
“Hmmm… My brother isn’t coming…”
The appointed time has already passed, but my brother… he’s not showing up at all.
H
“The stone hour has long since passed, but my brother… he’s not even there.
I won’t show it to you. Every time someone passes by,
Ah, it’s my brother Chama!
I thought it would be exciting, but… Yotsuba’s cheki was a complete miss!
That’s strange… Has Aniki-chama come to dislike Yotsuba? Ah… Or maybe something happened!?!! Uwaaah, Aniki-chama, what should we do?! Yeah… Yotsuba is tired of waiting… I’m going to Aniki-chama’s house to pick him up!
Then, undeterred by the heavy basket, Yotsuba headed to her brother Chama’s house. Seriously, what’s wrong with him? Maybe he’s sick? “Hey, brother Chama, beep-pon!” Yotsuba said, and rang the doorbell… and there he was! It’s Brother Chama!
“Oh, so you’re late…” Big Brother, why didn’t you come? Ah, maybe…
“But when Noriko and Ma saw my wife say that, their faces were so, so…
“Oh, Yotsuba, you’ve come at a good time…would you like to take a look at this?”
With that, my brother Chama handed me a large, pure white envelope.
It had a familiar bright red wax seal on it… Aniki-chama said that he had received a mysterious coded letter, but was having trouble reading it. At that moment, Yotsuba almost screamed out “Ahhhh!”, but Aniki-chama’s face… looked quite weak, and he really did seem to be in a lot of trouble… But then he gave her a weak smile and said, “I’m glad you’re here at a time like this,” and Yotsuba, for some reason, couldn’t bring herself to say anything.
It turns out that it was actually a letter written by Yotsuba…
So I had no choice but to say this…
Hahahaha♡” “Ah, ah, y-that’s right! That’s perfect timing, ah, aha
I’m so sorry, Aniki-chama… But it’s okay! This code… Yotsuba will decipher it perfectly! After all, it’s a code written by Yotsuba, so this problem has been completely solved. Ah… Yotsuba, I’m so glad I brought lots of donuts! If we can solve this, we’ll go on a picnic together and eat lots of donuts! How many donuts does Aniki-chama have to eat before he’ll feel like he can forgive Yotsuba?
And then… when Yotsuba receives the coded letter from her brother Chama, she quickly deciphers it… or so she was supposed to do… but… but… huh? Huh? What’s written in this code… I don’t really understand…
I don’t want it!
“Hmm, they’re quite formidable!”
So… from then on, my brother Chama and I ended up getting completely absorbed in deciphering the code!
Is this the Tanuki Law after all? Or is it book-to-book? Ah… Or is it that if you hold it up to the sun, the needle will only show the necessary letters?
So when I finally discovered how to read it, I screamed out loud with joy!
“Got it! To my beloved Big Bro, Kyaah… I’ll be waiting for you at the fountain in XX Park on XX day of the month! From my cute Big Bro, Yotsuba!”
“…Eh? From Yotsuba…?” “Damn it.”
In the end, as they walked side by side to the park, Yotsuba promised her that she would never write letters to her brother in code again, as it would be troublesome if something like this happened again. Sorry, it was just a spur-of-the-moment idea…hehehehe ♡ But when Yotsuba made a troubled face, her brother smiled, patted her on the head, and said, “Well, I guess that’s enough for today. Now… what shall we do on the picnic?”
“Thank you, Yotsuba… I love you, Big Brother! That’s why we’re having a picnic.
I was really looking forward to this! After lunch, let’s play thief and police together ♡”
Muyuubyou’s four-leaf clover
Big Brother… It’s tough!
Recently, every night, a big beast’s shadow appears in Yotsuba’s room.
I noticed it about a week ago…
That day, Yotsuba had been feeling itchy for some reason all day – and now that I think about it,
It was just a bad feeling… Then, in the middle of the night, I had to go to the bathroom, and when I woke up, I saw it for the first time.
I got up from the bed and stood on the floor, and it felt like the curtains in the room that should have been behind my back were fluttering somehow. Then… I turned around in surprise, and there was a huge, big black shadow covering the entire large window in Yotsuba’s room.
It wasn’t the curtains that were moving, but the shadow reflected on the curtains that was actually moving! The shadow was a round figure with a short, fat body.
The arms and legs are attached… it looks more like an animal than a human.
Hmmm… what is this…?
To put it bluntly… this must mean that some huge conspiracy is underway surrounding Yotsuba!
Then, Yotsuba started to feel itchy in the middle of the night and would wake up every night, and it would happen every night…! So, after thinking about it a lot, she came to this conclusion.
Hmmm… According to Yotsuba’s theory, a suspicious shadow appearing in the middle of the night like this definitely smells of crime! There must be a hideout for a clandestine gang of thieves nearby… or a secret base for a smuggling organization, or maybe even a… art museum factory… Wow! Wow! This is terrible!
I have to do it ♡
Without it
Yotsuba has to do something about this ♡
So… you see, to expose wrongdoing… you have to check the scene first, so… Yotsuba has decided to ask her brother Chama for help!
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・.
Wow, Yotsuba, I’m so grateful to have my brother here at a time like this!
Well, I thought about it a lot, but Yotsuba is, after all, a cute little girl, so if she gets caught by the bad guys… well, if she gets caught by a group of thieves, she might be made their minion, and then, if she gets caught by a smuggling organization, she’ll surely be exported and sold to a harem in a faraway foreign country, and then, and then… if she gets caught at the Gunsaku factory… Huh? Huh? What will happen? …Hmm, never mind,
I’ll probably end up being made into a wax figure of a cute girl and sold off…that’s obvious!
But if that were to happen, not only would Yotsuba cry, but her brother would also cry out of loneliness ♡ So, after all, she absolutely needs a capable assistant like her brother… right? Besides, Yotsuba, it’s a bit scary to face the enemy alone… but that’s not true.
No, not at all, but if Aniki-chama were with me… Kufufufufu, the two of us would surely defeat the bad guys together and our photos would appear in the newspaper♡ Wow, then Yotsuba would be photographed with Aniki-chama in her special Instax pose! Then, the two of us would become famous all over the country… No, we’d become known all over the country, and we’d start getting requests for detective work all the time♡ Kyaa♡ That’s amazing! We could open a detective agency just the two of us, Aniki-chama! Then Yotsuba and Aniki-chama would be together forever and ever.
You can stay there ♡
That’s why… Yotsuba asked her big brother Chama for a favor!
He looked at me and said, “Really?
“Please stay the night in Yotsuba’s room♡”
When Yotsuba told him the story, his brother Chama made a strange face and said, “Is that really true?”, but in the evening,
And, he came to Yotsuba’s house!
Yotsuba had so much fun eating and playing with her older brother Chama ♡♡
And then…night finally came…
Yotsuba and her brother Chama are holed up in Yotsuba’s room! Her brother Chama is a guest.
I told them I’d sleep in my room and to call me if I saw a shadow, but if I did that, the Secret Thieves would run away while Yotsuba was calling for her brother Chama!
So we put an extra bed in Yotsuba’s room… and they decided to sleep next to each other! Yotsuba’s bed and her brother Chama’s bed were pushed together
“Tch, she said, ‘I can’t do that…’! What a weird brother♡ Hiba and the others have never rolled around in the same bed before, so it would be fine if they did it now♡ Yotsuba turns into a kaiju and says to his brother, ‘Neither of us is small, so we can just share the same bed♡’, but his brother Yotsuba’s room is full of beds! It’s really big♡ Yotsuba roars and attacks Ma!
Today, since my older brother is staying in the same room as me, we’re going to play while keeping an eye on him all night! That’s why I prepared lots of things like cards, snacks, drinks, and more ♡ But… maybe because recently… I’ve been woken up every night by the suspicious shadow of a gang of thieves… right in the middle of playing cards, Yotsuba fell asleep without realizing it…
And then, in the middle of the night…
When Yotsuba came to her senses, she was standing next to the bed.
I still feel uneasy… Huh? Volume 4… Why did it happen?
Taro? It seems like that room is pitch black again? It’s strange… I thought… But soon… Huh? Yotsuba, were you already asleep? I wonder when you fell asleep… Oh…
“Hey Yotsuba, did it really come out…?”
And then… she heard the rustling of the Offton and her brother’s voice whispering softly from nearby. Hmm? That’s strange. I can hear his voice next door. He’s probably at home by now… Ah! That reminds me!!! Yotsuba’s mind finally came back to normal, and she looked back out the window behind her.
“Aaaaahhh!!”
…There was a huge, huge black shadow there, as expected. And then… Yotsuba’s knees gave out… I couldn’t tell my brother Chama about this.
But, I guess I haven’t seen much of Kowa Yotsuba’s shadow up until now. Because it’s customary for witnesses to be eliminated. They’re a gang of thieves.
My mind finally began to clear and I looked back out the window.
And then…
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
……………There was a huge, big black shadow there, Omni
But, as expected, Kowaku Yotsuba… he had never really seen a proper shadow until now. I’m sure… witnesses were supposed to be eliminated. “Ahhhh, it’s him! Big Bro… it’s a group of thieves! Wahhhh…”
But at that moment, a loud laugh echoed through the room…
“Ahahahahaha! That’s the shadow of a stuffed animal!”
When my older brother Chama told me to take a closer look, I saw that it had a perfectly round head and a perfectly round belly… and it sure did look like the shadow of Yotsuba’s precious, cute teddy bear that was placed next to the dresser. Oh no!
Afterwards… her brother Chama asked her a lot of questions, so Yotsuba tried her best to explain. Yotsuba told her that ever since she saw the Frankenstein movie the other day, she had started getting up every night to go to the bathroom… that it was the night she saw her shadow for the first time… and that at that time, she hadn’t turned on the lights in her room or the hallway,
I was walking around in the dark carrying a big, old, cool lantern I had recently acquired…and I always saw a big shadow at those times…and I realized that I wasn’t really paying much attention to scary things…
My brother Chama laughed, but in a gentle voice, and told me that the shadow of the stuffed animal looked bigger because of the light from the lantern.
Afterwards, Yotsuba and Anichama went to the living room in their pajamas and drank hot milk together ♡ Yotsuba also… felt a sense of relief. To be honest, I was a little scared that Anichama had found out, but when we were drinking hot milk together in the middle of the night like this… somehow it didn’t matter anymore! So, to Anichama, who is so reliable… I said, “I really love you Anichama!” and gave him a kiss on the cheek ♡ Anichama was surprised, but… I hope he gets used to Yotsuba’s kisses by now! Anichama… today was really…
…Thank you very much…♡
under Big Ben
Yotsuba doesn’t really like the time she spent in England.
Because…
Yotsuba…I felt lonely for some reason…
Always… Always…
In England, Yotsuba went to an all-girls primary school. British schools are much stricter than Japanese schools. Especially for girls… etiquette, manners, everything… it’s so, so annoying! Yotsuba wasn’t good at that sort of thing, and she was always getting scolded by the dim… oh, I’m talking about the dorm mother, that scary white-haired dorm mother. Every time Yotsuba did something, the dorm mother would come flying over and scold her. Yotsuba didn’t mean to be misbehaving, but… But the teacher said she was “a little strange”…
So, when I was experimenting with passing through the ventilation duct in the room and the four leaves turned completely black, or in the book “Sherlock Holmes,” I was trying to pass through a scary poisonous snake.
A locked-room murder using this device will occur! – When she cut out a newspaper provided at school and left holes in it – according to Holmes, newspapers are full of information on all kinds of crimes! – She got scolded so badly that Yotsuba was almost sent to the punishment room! Punishment
The kitchen is an old storage room where cleaning supplies are kept, but it’s dark, small, and smelly…it’s a really unpleasant place…
So that day too…
It was when the whole school was in a frenzy preparing for the upcoming school party.
The school party is held once a year and everyone looks forward to it.
After the class with parents visiting, everyone was everywhere in the school.
Or perform on stage
As part of the event, there will be a learning presentation that parents can attend, so the whole school is already in a frenzy.
Every day we are busy preparing for the day. After school, everyone sets up camp around the school, preparing the various decorations for the day, those who will be performing on stage practicing, and then we all get together and talk about the families who will be coming to see the day.
At first, Yotsuba was also planning to appear in a play with her classmates, but…
In the story of King Arthur and Lancelot of the Lake, Yotsuba was supposed to play Lancelot — but… he kept looking away and making mistakes, so halfway through… he ended up becoming the teleprompter.
But Yotsuba thought she’d do her best even if it was just a prompter, and she was still enthusiastic at first, but everyone else had memorized their lines pretty well, so Yotsuba didn’t really have much of a chance to shine… She spent most of her time spacing out during practice. But then, on that day… a stray dog wandered into the classroom where we were practicing…
A fluffy brown puppy like a spaniel…poor Yotsuba…was so skinny…I couldn’t bear to look at him. So I snuck out of the classroom to get a bottle of milk from the cafeteria, but then…the dorm mother found me…
After I explained the situation, I was allowed to give milk to the puppy, but the doctor said, “In cases like that, you should consult a doctor first. You can’t take milk without permission!” and got really angry again…and then said, “You don’t need to go out anymore!”
Shu: I thought, “Oh no,” but there’s nothing I can do about it.
And then… in the end, Yotsuba left the school by herself, slipped out onto the empty piloti grassy area, and all she could do was sit on the wall and dangle her legs. Because… everyone was practicing for the play, so there was no one to play with, and everywhere she went inside the school, there were kids getting ready for parties… Yotsuba would just be in the way.
It was beautiful weather outside…lots of fluffy, sheep-like clouds were floating in the clear blue sky. But as I looked up at the sky with my feet dangling like this…at times like this, I always think of my older brother Chama, whom I have yet to meet…
My brother Chama is far away in Japan… I wonder what he’s doing right now?
Yotsuba… I can’t wait to meet my older brother! Yotsuba has wanted to be a detective since she was still little… her grandpa gave her the book “Sherlock Holmes”, but ever since she found out she had an older brother… she wanted to get to know him so badly… she wanted to take a photo of him… and she started studying hard to become a detective. Right now, Yotsuba doesn’t know anything about his older brother… But she has a premonition! She absolutely, absolutely knows about him…
The person who will understand her the most is surely her big brother… Only her big brother can fill the lonely feelings of Yotsuba. Yotsuba has made up her mind.
If I could meet Kima, I would take lots of check pictures of my brother Chama…
He’s going to take back all the things that were lost… and take a polaroid photo of Anichama’s heart so that he can become one with Yotsuba… Kufufufufuu. Ah, if only Anichama was thinking about Yotsuba right now… I’d be so, so happy… Waaaah, Anichama! Yotsuba can’t wait to see Anichama!!!!!
Just as Yotsuba shouted that, a torn piece of a flyer was carried by the wind and flew right in front of her.
“Ah! I smell something secret…”
……………I instinctively reached out and grabbed it, only to find that it was an announcement for a town event with the words “Airship Coming!” written on it in large letters…
“Oh, I forgot… I thought you couldn’t go because of play practice…
Anyway, I guess I’ll just go like this ♡”
Yotsuba kicked the wall over and ran towards the town’s clock tower, where the airship was scheduled to arrive…
And because I had been running so much, I was panting and
When I reached the base of the clock tower and looked up, the sky was so, so vast and so high… In the middle of the clear, deep blue sky, a silver airship was floating… lazily…
When Yotsuba saw that, she somehow… felt like all the strength had left her body.
Because…if you think about it, beyond this vast sky…there’s always…there’s her brother Chama, the one she longs to meet more than anyone else…. He’s always somewhere in this world…and in reality, if only Yotsuba would chase after him…
Should be
“As long as you put it on…
So Yotsuba… I made up my mind and looked towards the sky.
Big Bro… Yotsuba, I’ll definitely go to Big Bro right now.
At that time, I’ll get on that big silver zeppelin and dive from the sky into my big brother’s chest! Then, I’ll be close to my big brother… and I’ll take a photo of his heart every day ♡ Big brother
Be prepared Chama… Kufufufufu ♡
washed away triangle
Today… Yotsuba and her brother are going on a date.
Her older brother Chama kindly asked her, “Where do you want to go?”, so Yotsuba thought hard and requested… “I want to go to the pool!”
In truth, Yotsuba was hoping to take a photo of her brother and see where he would take her, but… I don’t think he’ll take her wherever she wants to go. As expected of her brother… Yotsuba, you’ve got to try harder, you still have a long way to go…
Well… Yotsuba loves swimming pools! I swam a lot in the UK too… but there were only regular pools there, so in Japan there are thrilling, crazy water slides and pools with huge waves that make anyone go “Wha-aaaaaaaat?”
I heard there are a lot of
And… Khuhuhuhu
When we go to the pool… Yotsuba and her brother Chama can take a photo in their swimsuits!
………………Ani-chama’s swimsuit. ・・・・・・Kya――○ Yotsuba gets excited just thinking about it! I wonder what kind of swimsuit Ani-chama will wear? After all, maybe a Shichi-xi bikini? Ah, would it be okay if I took a photo of Ani-chama in his swimsuit? ………………Or… That’s right! Since I’m here, I’ll take pictures of Ani-chama and Yotsuba………………together! Wow――♡ Yotsuba is really looking forward to it
So I got excited!
and…………….
The pool that my older brother Chama took me to was in a very large area.
It was the first time for Yotsuba to see me as soon as I entered.
Right? I was about to go in, but I ended up curled up! Because it’s my first time coming to a place like this! Yotsuba tried to count how many there were from the edge, but when I got to the pool with the big slide halfway through, I said “Whoa!” and couldn’t hold back, so I ran towards the slide… So in the end, I don’t really know how many there are! Hehe, but I’ll be brought here again next time, so I’ll just count then.
Well, then, Yotsuba and the others… first changed into their swimsuits in separate changing rooms, then went inside. Yotsuba’s swimsuit for today is a tiny yellow triangle bikini. She bought it because she’s going to the pool with her older brother Chama. The frilly strings that fasten it at the back are really thin and unique! I wonder if her older brother Chama will like it?
And… my brother’s swimsuit… squishy ♡ It’s kind of like a swimsuit
The appearance of Aniki-chama seemed a little different from usual… It was dazzling… Yotsuba was kind of… fidgety and couldn’t get a good look. In fact, I was planning to say, “Aniki-chama, here’s a Polaroid!” but…… I messed up… Kyaaa♡
Of all the pools, the one that Yotsuba liked the most was… the lazy river! The long, narrow pool was shaped like a race course, with the water flowing round and round! So… even if you don’t swim very hard, you can swim really fast ♡ It was Yotsuba’s first time in a pool like this, so she was really surprised. Because, if she’d known about a pool like this before, she would have always been number one in swimming competitions… Too bad, Yotsuba!
And then… the bottom of Yotsuba’s new swimsuit started to look a bit gaudy after sliding down the sliders so many times…
The bottoms of the three new swimsuits were starting to look a bit gaudy after sliding down the sliders so many times…
We decided to go up and take a rest. We got out of the pool and went towards… Then my older brother Chama gave Yotsuba a big soft serve ice cream!
“Wow! Yotsuba loves soft serve ice cream ♡”
The soft serve ice cream that my brother and I ate sitting side by side on deck chairs
・・・・・・More than any soft serve ice cream Yotsuba has ever eaten… it was by far, far, far the most delicious!♡ It was so good that Yotsuba thought maybe hers was just as delicious, so she exchanged it for her brother’s halfway through, but in the end, his was just as good…! Ah, no… maybe it was even better when he had it♡
But… while she was taking a short break like that… she saw some little boys running towards her. Wondering what on earth was going on, Yotsuba turned towards them, and saw that all of them…
…He had a pink heart-shaped floating mat big enough for Yotsuba to sit on!
“Wow… that’s nice♡”
Yotsuba… Her eyes started sparkling without her realizing it! And when her brother Chama saw her face, he laughed and said, “Well, it can’t be helped”…♡
The floating mat my brother Chama bought me was amazing!
We went to Yotsuba’s favorite lazy river, and as we slowly swayed with our upper bodies lying face down, the sun shining on our backs felt amazing ♡ Before we took a break, we were playing around so we ended up feeling really relaxed. Also, we bought a mat for our older brother, so we were able to play linked together, saying “Look! ♡ Big brother’s heart and I’m strong! ♡” And when we both stuck together and sat side by side on one heart, it was so crowded.
But my brother Chama’s arm and Yotsuba’s arm were stuck together and it was really warm.
It feels good ♡ Ufufu… This is a new discovery for Yotsuba!
It’s so cold that I’m starting to feel a little sleepy…
But… as I was drifting like that, in a daze, something suddenly bubbled up next to the Yotsuba leaf… At first, I was vaguely thinking, “What is this? Something yellow and eye-catching.”… But the next moment, I suddenly woke up…
It was the tiny yellow triangle bikini that Yotsuba was wearing! I didn’t notice because I was lying face down on the mat, but the strings had come loose at some point… What should I do?!
“Kya――!! Ah… Big Bro…”
All Yotsuba could do for the time being was to say “Brother Chama.” However, since Brother Chama was right next to Yotsuba, he suddenly called out to her.
Yotsuba suddenly shouted,
He was so surprised that he rolled around in the pool, talking, but when he got up and looked in the direction Yotsuba was pointing, he hurriedly pushed his way through the crowd and retrieved Yotsuba’s bikini, which had been floating away. With a bright red face, he clutched Yotsuba’s bikini tightly…
………………And then, Nari said, “Wait a moment,” and as he got off the pool, he ran to get a bath towel and put it over Yotsuba…. That’s what Yotsuba thought when she saw her brother like that.
Big Brother… Big Brother… He might be really helpful…
Under the crumpled towel that was covering her, I could see Yotsuba’s face turning a little red. Teehee…♡
And then………………on the way home that day……………….
In the fourth volume, I couldn’t shake the embarrassment, so I was a little shy and silent. Then, for some reason, my brother was also silent… Both of us looked down.
And so I walked… But, but, there was something I really wanted to ask Yotsuba. And that was…
“Did you see Yotsuba’s… breasts?”
When Yotsuba said that, his brother Chama looked up with a sigh…and then, with a red, sunburned face, he laughed and said, “I couldn’t see anything at all.”
I’m so glad… I was worried that Yotsuba would get the cheki first! But as for Anichama’s body… Yotsuba will definitely get the cheki first! I won’t lose to Yotsuba ♡ Anichama… Yotsuba, it may take a while, but until then, please wait… by Yotsuba’s side… forever and ever ♡
