Sailor Moon R 64: Galileo Figaro

Sailor Moon R episode 64 review

Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening, all over town as Usagi’s going around. In one of the most dull episodes yet, Chibi-Usa gets lost, Usagi tries to find her, Mamoru continues to act stupid, and the Sailor Failures™ just sit in a cafe and watch. Some funny and touching moments between the Sailor Failures™, but otherwise just a copy-paste Monster of the Week episode.

Due to the rules I’ve set up, Sailor Moon wins best Guardian by default, because she is the only one who transformed in this episode. Thus, she’s going to win a lot more than she deserves.

Sailor Moon R 63: Save it, grandpa

Sailor Moon R episode 63 review

… we’ve got no time for kibitzers.

Rei’s grandpa starts acting really weird, and it’s up to Rei to keep the shrine from falling apart now that he’s gone off the deep end. I kept waiting for him to go back to normal by the end of the episode, but nope. He’s just gone off and become an absolute pervert. Meanwhile, the other girls help out at the shrine, with Ami giving a hilarious moment when she compares her math problem to Rei’s grandpa problem. Eventually, Rei SAVES grandpa from the Monster of the Week, and everything is hunky dory.

A weird episode to grade because Rei’s grandpa’s behavior is absolutely bizarre and typical of 90s anime. It would never fly today. Even so, Rei at least made this enjoyable enough, as she seems to do more often than not.

Marie

This is a rough, rough translation of Marie’s light novels for Sister Princess. Chapter titles are in bold.

To you, far away

Every night, night comes…and I turn off the lights in my room and go to sleep in a pitch black room…

I am a little scared sometimes.

Enter the room… Close your eyes, and find something even more special than this dark room.

When you enter a world of pitch black….. that moment before you fall asleep.

I’m scared… so, in truth, at times like these… if only I could be by your side… next to me… I would like to quietly feel your warmth…

I want to feel better… That’s what I can’t help but think.

That morning…

I felt like I heard a voice calling me from somewhere far away.

“Woof woof woof!”

When I woke up, I found my bedside blanket lying next to my bed.

There was Mikael sniffing his hand.

“…Ah, Mikhail, good morning ♡ Morning has come already.”

Michael is my very kind and obedient friend… He’s a big golden retriever. He looks so big, so it doesn’t seem like it… but he’s still a kid inside… He’s a little mischievous, and very charming♡ He always makes me happy when I have to leave home and stay alone at the sanatorium♡ When morning comes like this, he often comes to wake me up. Hehehe… Michael is so smart. But this morning… I wish Michael had waited a little longer…

That… that dream… was a scene I had always imagined.

I was in a nostalgic house filled with sparkling sunlight… Yes, Mikael was there too ♡ Mikael was still a really small child… And as I was watching Mikael running around playing with me, I suddenly had an idea. I gently motioned for Mikael not to make a fuss, and then I quietly got behind my brother so he wouldn’t notice… And at that moment, he saw Mikael suddenly stop running… And then I… heehee ♡ I quickly covered my brother’s eyes with both hands. “Who’s that?” he asked…

The garden… I was full of energy and running around the garden, and beside me… my older brother was gazing at me dazzlingly from the terrace.

Even though he knew it was me, he laughed and said “Huh? Who is that? That’s confusing…” as if he was teasing me… gently…

It was a truly happy scene that happened when I was still healthy and living at home with my brother. In my dream, I gently touched his cheek, and it was so warm that it felt like it was real, but it was still just a dream. Every time I remember it, every time I dream about it, happiness and tears come all at once. I’m sure I’m no longer in that world.

“Woo woof woof woof!”

Michael…

At that moment, Mikael roared loudly… and I was taken aback. You’re right, I shouldn’t be thinking about such things… I came here to cheer myself up… to return to my brother’s side once again. I shouldn’t be so weak-willed. …Yes! Thank you, Mikael. I believe in you. Someday… I’ll be with you forever.

The day will come when I can do so. Big Brother is always worried about me and encouraging me, so I have to cheer up for you too♡ Big Brother…I’ll do my best for you! So this morning too…I said “Good morning, Big Brother♡” to the photo of my beloved Big Brother that I always have hanging by my pillow…and said it with a smile.

“Hey, Michail! You see, this morning I had a wonderful dream about you, my brother…”

Life in the sanatorium follows a set schedule. A regular life is very important for me… So, in order to get better as quickly as possible, I try to follow the schedule as closely as possible.

First thing in the morning is study time. There are many other children in the sanatorium besides me, so there is a private school here.

The teacher who gives me this is Yuriko-sensei, who has a very gentle voice, loves reading, looks great in her pure white blouse, and is always calm… When something fun happens, she bursts into laughter with a very gentle smile. I hope I can become a woman like that in the future… Hehehe The classroom faces the garden, so when I look outside during class, on sunny days I can see the vast, clear blue sky. Me…

At times like that I always think that.

“My precious big brother is far, far away in this sky…♡”

Then at lunchtime, everyone goes back to their rooms to eat lunch.

Takushi can’t eat much, so it’s always hard for him to eat everything… But he wants to get better soon so he can meet his big brother again♡ Today, he did his best and ate everything! Ufufu♡ That

I took the slightly bitter medicine right away afterwards too.

But then when I took my temperature…

The nurse who handed me the thermometer looked a little troubled, so I thought, “Oh…” Shortly afterwards, the doctor in charge came and told me that I had a slight fever, so I should stay in bed and rest for the afternoon.

I did as I was told and got into bed, but I felt so pathetic in bed that I shed a few tears. Because… at this rate, I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to go to my brother… If I don’t get better, my brother will surely forget about me… No, more than that… if time continues to pass without me… then my brother will grow up… and I’ll be all alone…

I guess… No, as time passes… My brother will grow up… and I’ll be all alone.

“Woof woof woof woof woof!”

…………………Michael! Don’t cry so much… I’m sorry for crying again. …………… But………But, I’m so sad…Because, Brother

………………Oh? Michael…what’s that in your mouth?

Mikael gently brought me something in his mouth… It was a letter from my big brother. He was concerned about my health and wanted me to get better soon, but he said that I was too serious, so I should take my time and not rush it… And that my big brother was always watching over me…

………………I was so happy, my heart was full… I couldn’t say anything ♡ It was as if my brother had really been watching me from afar as I cried, and his letter gave me strength… However, at the end of the letter it said “Take care not to get your shoulders cold,” so I stroked Mikael’s head and said thank you, before getting safely under the covers.

Hey♡”

“Dear brother… how are you? I am… today too.

I had a slight fever. I was a little disappointed because I thought it would be a long time before I could meet you again, but then I got a letter from you…♡ Mikael was so excited, as if he knew it was a letter from you…

Brother… I’ll be patient… I’ll get better soon.

On a nice day…

Only once a week…is Michael’s shampoo day.

Shampooing Mikael is one of the jobs I look forward to the most. I can only do it on days when I’m in good health, but I’ve been feeling pretty good this week… hehehe ♡ When that happens, I usually choose a sunny afternoon on a day off to wash Mikael!

I’m in a nursing home, so I don’t have any opportunities to help with things like washing dishes, cleaning the house, or preparing meals… I always know that I can’t continue like this, but whenever I tell the nurses, they always tell me, “Getting better is more important than that. You can do all those things when you get better and go home.” So, taking care of Mikael is the only job…or rather, the role that I can do for someone else.

I only shampoo once a week, but it seems that Mikael doesn’t really like shampooing that much… hehe ♡ Even though it’s only once a week, he always comes reluctantly –But during the summer, on those days when I go outside like this and make a big fuss with Mikael… I feel like I’ve become a normal… lively girl… and it’s a fun time.

I change into a freshly washed dress in case it gets dirty again today, and get ready…oh no! Then when I go outside, I don’t forget to put on my big sun hat…yep! That’ll do ♡ I call Mikael and head out to the garden.

“Now, Mikael! It’s time for shampooing. ♡ … Ufufufu, it’s a nice day today. ♡ Mikael is surprisingly mischievous. I have to give him a good wash! Come on, don’t go ahead, come over here.

As expected, Mikael came towards me with a slightly depressed look on his face. Ufufu…♡ Mikael really hates shampoo. But if he doesn’t wash his body at least once a week, he can’t always smell good, right?

But Mikhail always becomes completely calm when I start pouring hot water on him. So it doesn’t take that long, and there’s no foam or hot water splashing all over him… he’s such a good boy! And after he’s been thoroughly washed and is completely wet, he gives me a clear signal with his eyes that he’s far enough away from me, and then he starts shaking… to drain the water♡ After that, I dry him off with a big towel. But on this day,

In the middle of shampooing, Michael suddenly stood upright and started barking.

“Woof woof woof woof woof!”

“Ahhh, Mi-Michael… W-what happened?!”

Even though he was completely covered in foam… I don’t know what he was surprised by, but Mikael was trembling and barking… It looked like he might run off somewhere at any moment. I thought I had to calm him down somehow, so I tried my best to hold him down, but at that moment Mikael stood up again…

“Kyaaaahhhh…!”

I was pushed by Mikael and fell down. And then… I got hit by the shower… and my head got splashed with water…

“Kyuuuuun…”

Then, Mikael noticed me right away and looked dejected… I said, “It’s okay, it’s nothing serious… I must have been so surprised that I screamed…” but I must have shouted too loudly – a nurse came running over at that moment… I ended up going back to my room. Mikael… followed me with a worried look on his face, but he told me to come back later because I couldn’t stay wet… I’m sorry… for scaring you, Mikael… I’m really… okay…

But… that night…

I guess pouring water over my head was a bad idea after all… I got a high fever.

Put it away…

To be honest, I don’t remember much about that time. However, after the nurse took me back to my room, I gradually started to feel colder. As I was wondering what to do, my body started to get really hot and my head became fuzzy. Before long, I didn’t even know where I was.

I felt so helpless. My body was burning hot and my head was foggy.

I felt dizzy, as if I had never been in a room before, and yet the room was dim, as if the lights were not on… Also, there was no sign of anyone around me as I slept, and the heat of my body was making it harder and harder to breathe, but all I could hear was… the sound of my own breathing.

And then, the only sound that could be heard in the empty room was the ticking of the clock…

“Haa… Haa, I want to see you, Brother…”

Suddenly I felt very lonely and without thinking I called out my brother’s name. And then… I think at that moment I fell into a dream.

“Oh, Brother… so you were there. I… I…

In my dream, all I could see was my brother’s figure floating in the pitch black darkness.

Big Brother opened his arms towards me, welcoming me with that sweet, gentle smile he always shows only to me. I hugged him without hesitation – hehe… I hugged him tightly, although I’m too embarrassed to do that normally. Before I knew it, tears were filling my eyes, and I felt as if I could feel Big Brother’s sleeves getting hot and wet with my tears.

…And then I thought… I wish time would just stop.

“If I can stay in my brother’s arms like this… then I don’t mind if it all fades away like this…”

But…………After that, the next time I noticed……ufufu♡

Right in front of me was my big brother…my real big brother…and next to him, Mikael was smiling…

“Oh, Brother! You were really here?! So then… then, the one who took my hand in my dream… the one who embraced me… was the real Brother in reality?”

I heard later that my brother… it was a holiday, so he came to visit me secretly to surprise me. And so, when Mikael barked that time, he must have just arrived at the sanatorium… because he had found me… Oh my… Mikael♡

Brother… I’m sorry. I… I didn’t care if it was fleeting.

I don’t think about it anymore. Because back then, it was my real brother who brought me back… I felt so safe and secure in his arms… it was so wonderful. I hope that one day I’ll get better and I’ll be able to be held like that again…

amulet of life

“Lights out…”

I heard the nurse’s voice from afar and realized I was dozing off. Ufufufu… I’m not usually one to fall asleep so easily… Maybe it’s because I’ve been in bed all day today knitting a sweater to give to my big brother? I’m kind of tired… and before I knew it, I’d fallen asleep ♡ But… I want to finish knitting it quickly and give it to my big brother as soon as possible! When the cold season comes, before my big brother gets cold… I want to warm him up with this sweater filled with my feelings… ♡

What a thought… While I was thinking about this, the nurse on patrol came into my room and said to me.

“Oh, sorry for waking you up… It’s time for lights out… Come on, come on, put your hands in the bed, okay? That’s…

Do you have one?”

“Ah… this is…♡”

The nurse was looking at an important charm tied to the headboard of my bed. Before I knew it, I had reached for the charm and fallen asleep clutching it. I thought I’d gotten over it recently, but there I was, clutching it again… hehehe ♡

Seeing that I had laughed involuntarily, the nurse gently tucked my arms under the blanket and smiled…

“It’s a very important charm….who gave it to you?”

“Yes… it’s a very, very important charm. My older brother gave it to me a long time ago…♡”

This was shortly after I found out about my illness.

I was immediately admitted to hospital, and without any mental preparation, I ended up not being able to go home after my examination… But even after I was admitted to the hospital, it took a while for me to get used to the change in environment… I was still young, and there were tests every day, I was in a ward full of strangers, and I slept alone at night… I felt lonely and sad… and I just cried every day.

But at that time, my older brother came to visit me…

At first, my brother seemed a little unfamiliar with the hospital and seemed quite uncomfortable. He brought me a bouquet of Turkish bellflowers, which I like, but he seemed a little reluctant to give them to me… and handed them to me rather brusquely — now that I think about it, he must have just been a little embarrassed.

Right, heehee… But when I saw my big brother like that, I somehow felt even more lonely… and I couldn’t bear the feeling of insecurity… So I quietly hugged my big brother… and said, “I want to go home”… and began to cry…

Big Brother remained still in my arms for a while… but then, while I had my face buried in Big Brother’s tummy and still hadn’t stopped crying… he suddenly said in a loud voice, “All right!”… and then he wrapped me in his gown, picked me up, and threw me out the window of the hospital room…!

And then he went outside too… That’s right. The two of them… ran away from the hospital!!!!!

“Oh, Brother… T-that’s not okay…♡”

Right, Ufufuku… But when I saw my brother like that, I somehow felt even more lonely… and I couldn’t bear the feeling of insecurity… I just remained silent and hugged him… and said, “I want to go home”… and I began to cry…

Brother stayed in my arms for a while, but then I buried my face in his stomach and started crying.

While this continued, he suddenly said in a loud voice, “All right!” and then he wrapped me in his gown, picked me up, and threw me out the window of the hospital room.

And then he went outside too… That’s right. The two of them… ran out of the hospital!!!!!

“Oh, brother… T-that’s not okay…♡”

I was so surprised, because I never thought that Big Brother would do something like that, so I blushed and panicked. I thought it was because I was being selfish. But Big Brother smiled brightly and…

“It’s okay, no one will think that Marie is in the wrong. I’ll be the only one who gets scolded,” he said…

That’s how you act, my brother… then, when that happens, I will be just as guilty!”

After that… My brother took me by the hand and we walked around the area, chatting happily about all sorts of things… and then we went to a nearby shrine.

My brother prayed for me, saying, “I hope Marie gets better soon and can come home as soon as possible.” So I joined him in praying, hands together. I prayed that my brother and I could be together forever and ever.

“I’m sure I’ll get in trouble if I go back…” “Hehe… I think I’ll just not come back.”

On the way back to the hospital… I had completely regained my strength thanks to you, Brother. Because… I realized. That you would always help me when I was in trouble or feeling lonely… You were the only one who always truly understood my feelings.

But after that, when we returned to the hospital… My brother was scolded by the head nurse. I tried my best to explain that it wasn’t my brother’s fault, but that I was the one who started crying, but she still wouldn’t forgive me… I wondered what would happen, but in the end she said, “Well, I’ll just make Marie-chan better.

I admit that I was wronged, but I must never do this without permission again.

“Good luck!”

“Yes!” she said… and then she winked at me…

And when my brother heard that, he said “I’ll come again” and left. I watched him go until I could no longer see him… But then, just as I was completely out of sight, the head nurse told me to hurry back to bed. So, I had no choice but to go to bed, and then…

……………Suddenly, I noticed a small red charm in the pocket of the gown I was about to take off. There was also a small piece of paper in it…and it was written in what seemed to be Brother’s hasty handwriting……………

…………………That was just one word………………that was written…

“My treasure, that charm, is something I can never put away. When I hold it, I feel as if His Lordship is always protecting me. Whenever I see it, I think to myself, “I must do my best, and get better soon, for the sake of my brother, who has been supporting me.”

Promise of a distant day

A quiet library is one of my favorite places.

The sanatorium’s library faces the elm grove at the rear of the site. It’s a completely separate building from the wards, and it’s quite large and spacious. The building itself is quite old… Apparently it was renovated from a place that used to be used as a church… But the exterior wall is entirely made of latticed glass, so it’s very bright… and when you sit in a chair by the slightly worn-out window and read a book… on sunny days, the sunlight filtering in through the trees makes your body feel warm and cozy, and it’s a very pleasant place.

When I’m here, I feel like I’m not living in a sanatorium… it’s different from normal… I feel like I’ve become a normal person. …………………I wonder why? Hmm… maybe it’s because of the smell? This place is filled with the smell of old books that I love… the smell of a hospital.

“Oh, this is…”

…because it doesn’t smell like medicine at all…

That day, I was supposed to write a book report as homework, and I came to choose a book. The teacher told me to choose a book I had read recently, and any book would be fine, so I could have written about a book I had already read… But I thought I might as well try reading a new book… Besides, even if I was going to write about a book I had already read, I thought I would understand it better if I read it again.

I slowly walked through the bookshelves, thinking about what kind of book I should choose. Ummm… I actually like stories with little girls in them… but since I’m going to write a book review, maybe a history book or a biography would be good…

I picked out some books I had read and some I hadn’t, and piled them up in front of the card. Then, as I was looking through the pile of books, wondering if it was this one or that one, I noticed one book…

“Oh? This is…”

I don’t remember choosing it, but before I knew it, it was on my desk.

The title of Taso’s book is “The Little Two.”

It was one of my favorite books when I was still very young, about to enter kindergarten or elementary school.

“The two tiny little squirrels were… brother and sister.

Little sister Squirrel loves her kind older brother Squirrel very much!

And big brother Squirrel loves his cute little sister Squirrel very much!

The two of them were very close brother and sister, running around on the branches of trees and playing together every day.

One day, the mother squirrel said to them,

“The cold, cold winter is coming soon. You guys have to help us prepare for the winter.

How do you prepare for winter?

The two of them, who had no idea what to do, began preparing for winter with their mother’s help.

First, they have to gather enough food to last them through the winter so that they can have a warm house to protect them from the winter. It’s a lot of work for two little ones, but they’ll be fine.

Two people can carry a big walnut that one person cannot carry, and there are plenty of fluffy dead leaves to make a futon in the secret place they found together. They curl up next to each other in the dead leaves they carried together and sleep soundly until spring comes.

However, one day while the two were working in the forest like that…”

It had been years since I last encountered it, but reading it again after such a long time…

A cute book. When I was reading this book, I was interested in the story.

It had been years since I last encountered it, but when I read it again after such a long time…

A lovely book. When I was reading this book, the lives of the siblings that appear in it… were exactly the lives of my brother and I… At that time, I never imagined that the two of us would be separated like this.

I couldn’t even think about it… I was completely empty-headed… I was just having fun. …If I could still be with my brother…

Could I have lived such an innocent and happy life?

…………………This is not good…I’m crying again…

In this story

………………And at that moment, as I was hastily trying to close the book, something rustled out from between the pages of the book…

It was a small bookmark made from pressed tri-colored violets that my brother and I had picked and made together a long time ago.

When I was still a child… Yes, I think it was around the time I was reading this book. My brother and I went on a trip together…

I wonder if it will?

“Th-this is…”

The two of us bought a set of tiny tricolor violets as a souvenir for Uncle Toki. His mother was delighted and pressed them into flowers, which she then gave to me, saying they were so pretty that she would give them to Tokoe in return… I thought she’d lost them at some point… But why is that bookmark in a place like this? That book…

It should be at home by now…. The same book is also in this library.

But………………I was curious, so I looked inside the back cover of the book where the bookmark was.

……………It was undoubtedly the book I had. Because …in my handwriting as a child ……………the word “mariito” was written there……………

Then… I instinctively looked up and there was my big brother there, smiling!

“The nurse said she was here…

“Well, well… Brother.”

This book was brought to me by my brother… He came across this book when he was tidying his bookshelf at home… He said he thought I would be happy to see it, so he brought it to me! And then… I was looking at it so intently that he thought he’d tease me — Oh my brother♡ — He secretly mixed it into the pile of books I had chosen and said he was watching what would happen♡ …So then, did you see how I was crying thinking about you, brother…? I’m so embarrassed… I feel like my face is going to burn…

Seeing how embarrassed I was, my brother laughed for a while afterwards, but when I told him that I came here to write a book report and didn’t know which book to choose… he said, “I’ll choose one for you”… and gave me my mini

I got it.

Please tell me “I’ll choose a favorite for you”… and listen to my advice.

It had been such a long time since the two of us had worked on our homework together, trying to figure this out and that… It was as if we had returned, even if only for a little while, to the world of “The Little Two”… I felt so happy… It was as if I was living in a dream that would never end…

Thanks to you, Brother, I was able to finish writing my review without any problems. It was only a short time, but I really enjoyed spending time with you like normal siblings… Thank you so much for coming. The nurse said that you are my best medicine…♡ Brother, I believe that one day we will be able to live together like the siblings in that book…

Hibari-chan

Ever since it was decided that Hibari would be discharged from the hospital…I was filled with a feeling of uneasiness.

Hibari-chan was my best friend in this sanatorium…..hmm,

We are good friends. She was hospitalized before me.

When I first came here, I didn’t understand many things, so I always asked my parents for help.

She was a very reliable friend who taught me sincerely.

She is cheerful, talkative, kind to everyone, and a little

She was very mature… and much more energetic than me, but…

Hibari-chan was also hospitalized with the same illness as me…

I feel like we understand each other’s feelings very well… We talked about each other’s families.

And I talked to him about my beloved brother…

But… we were good friends.

But Hibari-chan is finally going to be discharged from the hospital…

I… in truth, I should have been the first to be happy for her… no, at first… When I first heard it, I was so happy I jumped for joy. I thought that Hibari had finally gotten better. Now she could do anything… she could be with normal girls, and I was so happy… But as time passed, and the day drew closer… I began to feel lonely… and for some reason, I suddenly started to feel like I didn’t want her to be released from the hospital…

…………………I’m sorry. I… am really… a nasty person for thinking such things.

So… on the day that Hibari-chan was finally going to be discharged from the hospital, I was a little nervous from the morning. Maybe because of that, I woke up much earlier than usual… But that day, we all had a farewell party for Hibari-chan in the morning, and then by the afternoon,

“I got up right away to see Hibari off.

I put on my special pale lavender dress. And then… I quietly took out the gift I had prepared for Hibari from the drawer… and then I sighed a little.

Tong ton ton…

“Marie-chan, are you awake?”

Hibari came to visit my room… I quickly hid the wrapped present behind my back.

“H-Hibari-chan! What are you doing out here so early in the morning?”

Hibari-chan smiled and said that today was the day she was finally going to be discharged from the hospital, but before that she wanted to go on one last walk with Marie-chan, so she came to invite her over.

There was…

“Yamie-chan, I thought you might still be asleep… but you’re awake after all♡”

Saying this, Hibari-chan giggled, and was just the usual Hibari-chan… I knew that Hibari-chan must have been nervous and woken up early, and that I was just as nervous as she was… We seemed to understand each other in an instant. So, until then, I had felt a little distant from Hibari-chan, who was about to be discharged from the hospital, but when I saw Hibari-chan’s smile like that… somehow, I also felt strange… I giggled, and at Hibari-chan’s invitation, I held her hand.

So the two of us climbed the hill beyond the elm grove at the back.

Hibari-chan too

Then we sat side by side on the hill and talked about all sorts of things.

Hibari-chan has the same disease as me… Even though she was able to leave the hospital this time, we don’t know when she’ll get a relapse. If that happens, she’ll have to go back to the sanatorium, but I still hope she never comes back.

And… we had been encouraging each other, but Hibari-chan was worried about me being discharged from the hospital first, even if it was only temporary… so I’m really happy that we were able to talk like this at the end. Also, she believed that since she was hospitalized before me, I’m sure that in the order of events, I should be able to leave the hospital soon too…

And then… “Let’s meet again,” “I’ll write you a letter,” “I’ll let you know if I get a boyfriend,” and so on… Hibari made so many promises to me. But then… at the very end… she said this.

“You see…the truth is, I’ve always been jealous of Marie-chan.

Tanda…”

“What…why?”

Hibari-chan is always so energetic…strong and kind, and liked by everyone…I’ve always thought it would be great if I could be more like Hibari-chan…

Then Hibari stood up straight, smacked the grass off her bottom with her hand, smiled mischievously and said…

“Well, you always had such a wonderful, kind older brother come over, right? I always thought you were a great person, Mari-chan. Actually, I was… actually, I was in love with your older brother…”

And then, at that moment………………

“Hey!” I heard a loud voice

I instinctively turned to where the voice came from and saw Mikael running excitedly… and next to him was my older brother waving kindly…

“Oh, Brother…why are you here…!”

Surprised, I stood up without thinking, and Hibari gave me a smile that said, “See?”, then said, “Well, I’ll go back first! I’m busy today!” and ran off by myself. All I could do was watch her off in a daze…

“What? Where’s Hibari? My girlfriend is having a farewell party today and she asked me to come…”

My brother said this as he climbed up, breathing a little lightly…Is that really what Hibari wanted my brother? But…Hibari’s condition earlier…

……………I felt a slight pain deep in my chest… But… but I had to say it… I had to say it for Hibari-chan’s sake… my mouth got tangled… my chest got tight.

“I did.

“Ummm… Hibari-chan, I actually care about you, Big Brother…”

But, my brother didn’t seem to hear what I was saying at all, and suddenly he smiled happily… He leaned over and looked into my face,

“Good morning, Marie. I’ll be lonely without Hibari-chan, but… I’ll be here with you today, so I think you’ll feel better,” he said, and he cupped my cheeks with both hands…

I… couldn’t help but hug him tightly ♡ And then… all I could do was murmur these words in his arms…

“I’m sorry Hibari-chan… Only my brother… Only my brother… I just couldn’t… I’m sorry… Please forgive me…”

Is it no longer possible?

I haven’t been feeling well lately… Tomorrow I’ll be staying out for the first time in a long time…♡ I’ve only seen my brother at the hospital, but I’m finally going to be able to spend some quality time at home with him. I wonder if he’ll be happy too…

Tomorrow is the day when I will finally be given permission to go out overnight for the first time in a long while.

I have so many things I want to do when I get home!

Well… first of all, I’ll go on a… date with you, Brother♡ Hehe… of course… this is only if you say it’s okay. But you always said that next time I’m allowed to stay out overnight, you’ll spend a whole day with me… Usually, I meet you in this asylum, but I… actually, I’d like to meet you in a more normal place.

I want to be like a normal brother and sister, in a normal place, going on a normal date, and not having to worry about my body at all.

Brother, you’re always worried about me… I’m very, very happy about that… but sometimes I can’t help but wonder… if maybe I’m a burden to you.

But… No, I know very well that you don’t think of me that way. But… every time you help me… every time you worry about me… and every time you look at me with a worried expression as I lie in bed… I realize how much trouble I’ve caused you… and how sad I’ve made you feel… and I feel sorry for you.

If I see something like that… I’ll say more…lol

If I had been a cheerful, bright, and stylish little sister, I’m sure you would have had much happier, happier lives…

Brother always brings me happiness… Just thinking about it makes me happy

All those precious memories…all of them…even though they are all memories with Big Brother…when I think about it, I wonder if I have been able to repay Big Brother for all he has given me…

Someday… I want to be someone who can bring happiness to you, Brother. Just thinking about you… makes my heart warm.

If only I could become that kind of person…

So, tomorrow is the first step! My brother is coming to pick me up early tomorrow morning, so I’ll meet him with at least my best smile….a smile so good it’ll make him forget about my illness….!…Ufufufa

But even so…

I had to check if I was allowed out the next day, so in the evening I headed towards the office building. Just as I was about to turn the next corner and reach the doctor’s room, I suddenly heard a small voice speaking in a serious tone. It was the voices of my doctor and the nurse in charge.

“…But sensei, that would be too cruel…It’s been a long time since I’ve stayed out overnight, and I’m really looking forward to it…”

“But with these test results… and it may be that staying out overnight is not even an option for her. If things continue like this…”

“Th-That’s not possible… Sensei!”

I got up and ran back to my room.

Gusssssssssssssssssss…

Brother… Brother… I, I…

Is it already too late…?

I went back to my room.

I just wanted to live a gentle life beside you, Brother… that was all I ever wanted… but I never thought it would turn out like this… I just… Maybe God is telling me that I shouldn’t be by your side anymore… That I’d be a nuisance to you if I was by your side… Really… that might be true, but… but but but but!! That… I don’t want that…

Ah, Brother…

“Um… E-chan?”

As I was crying face down on the bed, a nurse came and called out to me. I quickly wiped away my tears, but… I was crying… she must have seen… I don’t know why, but the nurse seemed really hesitant to say anything, and I thought she was probably going to tell me about canceling my permission to go out overnight, so I started to say, “Um, I… tomorrow…” but then…

“Your brother is calling.”

From my brother…?

At first I didn’t understand what he meant. But… maybe… he called my brother first because he didn’t want me to be shocked? If so… I’m usually happy to receive a call from my brother.

But… today I got a slightly sad phone call… I’m sure you’re annoyed. I promised you that I’d definitely get better, but it’s come to this again… Ugh.

“Yes… this is Marie…”

As I answered the phone, struggling to hold back my tears, I heard my dear brother’s voice on the other end of the phone… Even at a time like this… hearing my brother’s voice still makes me feel relieved… Oh, man! But the rest of the story… as expected…

“I got a call from the hospital saying that Marie isn’t feeling well…”

At first I was very shocked. But then I was shocked. Because my brother told me that he might not allow me to stay out overnight.

The teacher said that, so I’m worried, but I’ll take good care of you.

And somehow, I was given permission to stay out overnight…or so I said.

… ……………Oh, my brother… you’ve gone that far for me…

He asked me because he knew how much I was looking forward to our sleepover. Brother, you really…

Ah, I want to fly to you as soon as possible and… I want to do anything for you ♡

forever the two of us

Today is our date, made possible thanks to my brother…

My brother came to pick me up early in the morning, and I went out with him, still overwhelmed by the emotions from the previous night. Because… it had been a really long time since the two of us had gone out like this, and more than anything… my test results were not good… and I was almost about to lose my permission to stay out… so it was my brother who asked the doctor at the sanatorium to take me out.

Brother said, “I’ll take you anywhere you like,” but I… if I could go out with Brother, I’d always wanted to have a normal date, like a normal couple would, so I asked Brother to do the same… Because… if I’m with Brother, we don’t have to go anywhere special… any place will be the most fun in the world, that’s for sure.

And besides… if I were to be with you, there would surely be so many happy and joyful things happening that I would start to get palpitations.

My brother laughed and said, “I’m not greedy…” but he still wanted to go to a big shopping arcade, a big bookstore that I can’t usually go to, a delicious cake shop, etc.

He took me to all the places I wanted to go.

There was a big craft store in the arcade, so I bought a new one for my brother.

I also bought some new yarn… hehehe ♡ I always knit for you, but yarn… I’m usually far away, and I’ve only ever bought it by myself, thinking of you – because I only started knitting after I got ill – so I was really, really happy to be able to look at the yarn with you ♡ The shop staff measured you to your size,

Please measure my width

…And then, while I was trying to see if it would suit you, Brother… I was able to choose yarn for the first time, after asking you about your preferences. It was a really… wonderful experience for me, hehe… And now that I know your preferences… I can knit to suit them properly from now on. Brother seemed a little embarrassed… But I was so happy, and maybe he could tell that I was excited? Somehow… he seemed happy too♡

And then… after walking around here and there and it was time to head home…

I was able to go out today thanks to my big brother, but actually it was you who told me first…

“You must not push yourself too hard today”…

When I saw it, I couldn’t help but say “Ah♡” in a small voice.

Of course, if I were to collapse during the trip, I would end up causing trouble for my brother again, so I promised him that I would never do such a thing.

It’s… a sign for a newly opened amusement park on the outskirts of town…

Of course, I thought I couldn’t go because I was about to go home…

After that, I couldn’t take my eyes off him… I thought, maybe… just once, if I could ride with my big brother… what a wonderful memory it would be. I’ve always thought… even if it was just once, I wanted to ride the Ferris wheel with my big brother… So I decided to take the plunge and ask him, and when I looked over at my big brother’s face next to me, he had a look that said, “I know what you mean”…

It’s rice…

“I’m too tired today…”

…That’s right…right…?

……………It’s as you say, Brother. I’ve had so much fun today, so asking for more was too greedy… I’m so sorry! I got too excited… I feel like I’m completely fine now… I thought I could be with you forever and ever… But tomorrow I’ll have to go back to the sanatorium… I’m so sorry… Brother. I’m so embarrassed… I’m going home now…

But my brother heard what I was saying and turned away, and then he hugged me tightly from behind.

“Okay, but just once, okay?”

It was the first time in my life that I had heard my Big Brother’s voice so close to my ear… It was gentle, and yet it made my heart flutter… That was the voice of my Big Brother…

By the time we got on the Ferris wheel, it was already starting to get dark, and the lit-up Ferris wheel was shining beautifully. The view from the big Ferris wheel, which I rode for the first time, was much more beautiful than I expected… When I thought about being surrounded by such a beautiful view and being alone with my brother, it somehow felt like there were only two of us in the world… My heart started beating faster again ♡ Also, at the top, my brother said it was cold and put his jacket on me… I was so happy that I wished time would just stop…

……………Later, when I got home, it was already completely dark.

Well… Mother scolded both of us a little bit.

But thanks to that… it was getting late, so my brother decided to stay the night with me…

So, I… was really, really happy today… and so I sat down next to you, wanting to express my gratitude to you as best I could. But maybe because I was excited after spending the whole day on a date and now I get to spend the whole night with you, my cheeks are starting to get hot…

“Brother… I had so much fun today… Today’s drawing was truly the best in the world… I am so happy…”

I could hear my older brother’s voice calling from afar, “Well, a picture!!”…

anime

Yotsuba

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 ♡
