Haruka-neesama is going to study abroad?
There's no way that can be true.
I don't want to believe it either,
but it's the truth.
I'm gonna go check with Haruka-neesama.
Wait, don't!
Why not?!
Let go!
You know,
just try to ask her that.
This is Haruka we're talking about.
For our sake, she'll definitely say she's not going.
That's just perfect then, isn't it?
You...
Think a bit before you speak, will you?
This is Haruka's future we're talking about.
Is it alright for her to miss this chance because of us little sisters?
I haven't heard anything about that...
If you think about Haruka's abilities, Japan is too small for her.
This is a chance the global-minded Haruka can't afford to pass up.
No, but... I mean...
Hold on, Kana-chan.
The fact that she hasn't told you...
... means that she isn't sure yet.
But...
if she really wants to go study abroad,
I'd love it if you supported her, too.
Exactly.
Let's watch over her warmly together.
So,
as Haruka's little sisters, let's celebrate for her.
Okay?
Let's send her off smiling.
This is the Bobonba kingdom in Africa.
You can see a lot of wildlife here.
Lately, a lot of tourists have been visiting, and it's been very lively.
That looks so nice.
I'd love to go there myself.
What?
No...
It's nothing.
Seconds!
Okay, okay.
You sure can eat.
Haruka's cooking is the best in the world,
and since we get to eat it, it means we're the luckiest people in the world.
What is that about?
Here, go ahead.
Yum, yum!
You just have to say this is the best cooked rice ever.
Yummy!
Good morning, Chiaki.
Morning.
Is it really true that Haruka-san's going to study abroad?
I was so surprised when Kana-chan told me over the phone.
It's so amazing.
I want to go abroad too!
Paris, London, New York...
The South Pole, Sichuan, the Amazon!
What's with those choices?
Penguins, pandas, and anacondas are there!
Why is Haruka-san going to leave me behind?!
Because she doesn't have a reason to take you along, right?
But Haruka-san sure is amazing.
Her intelligence is another level from ours.
Ours?
I'm sure she'll be even greater when she comes back.
So... at school?
But we also have to take Chiaki's friends into consideration, so isn't someplace else better?
So... at Haruka's home then?
No, no.
We need a novel spot that no one would think of to really surprise her.
Do we have really have to surprise her?
Of course!
Normal stuff is boring!
That's a bit...
I don't really want to play your games...
It's no game!
So, Minami Haruka is going to study abroad?
In that case, I'll need to acquire a passport.
Well,
I guess I have all sorts of preparations to make.
So it had to come to a farewell like this...
It feels pretty lonely.
It's okay,
no matter how far you go, we'll still be friends.
Okay.
Take care,
I will write letters.
It's not me,
Haruka's the one going.
Keiko-san,
you're not disappointed now, are you?
Of course not, of course not.
Anyway, I want to send Haruka off with peace of mind.
What should I do?
Hmmm... In that case...
Chores?
That's right.
Until now, we've relied completely on Haruka for the household chores!
Without Haruka, we won't be able to do anything.
That's no good!
You, of all people, are saying that?
We'll show her we can do the chores by ourselves!
But will you guys be alright?
Leave it to me!
We have sa-shi-su-se-so!
Sa-shi-su-se-so?
Well, Keiko said...
The basics of chores are sa-shi-su-se-so.
I think Haruka-san will approve if you can do that.
So there, do you understand?
Not in the least.
So what is sa-shi-su-se-so?
That...
I don't remember!
I think they must be words to indicate what's necessary for doing chores...
Sa... sassou to?
Smart.
Shi... shikkari?
Diligent.
Ri... ringo.
Apple. Note: Kana has turned this into a game of shiritori.
Gorira.
Gorilla.
Rappa.
Bugle.
Panda.
Dango.
Dumpling.
Gorira.
Gorilla.
Rappa.
Bugle.
Panda.
Damare.
Shut up.
Okay.
Hey, Kana.
What was so urgent?
Oh, you came at just the right time.
What on earth does sa-shi-su-se-so stand for?
Sa-shi-su-se-so stands for...
... sa-shi-su-se-so, right?
Sa-shi-su-se-so is the third row of the Japanese phonetic system.
Yeah...
The sa-shi-su-se-so for chores!
I heard about that.
'So' stood for souji, or something like that.
Cleaning.
So that's what it means.
If 'so' stands for souji...
Cleaning.
'Se' must stand for sentaku. 'Su' is...
Laundry.
... suisen toire, isn't it?
Flushing the toilet.
It must be suiji.
Cooking.
'Sa' could stand for saihou?
Sewing.
'Shi' is left, then.
Me! Me, me!
Shitsuke!
Discipline.
Sit down!
Eh, tomorrow?
I do have time...
I guess it can't be helped...
Just this once.
Okay, yes.
See you. Good night.
We will execute our plan now.
The goal is for us to make our own dinner.
With today's training, we will create a taste that will leave Haruka flabbergasted.
I expect everyone's full support in order to succeed.
Everything is for Haruka's sake!
Just cooking is enough for our training?
Cooking is the only chore where you can't fool anyone.
At least it's better than doing a bit of everything half-heartedly.
It's getting to my eyes!
Tolerance, tolerance.
I know,
but there's no end to it!
I expect to hear honest opinions from the food tasters.
Sure,
but you will feed us at least half-decent food, right?
Leave it to me!
By the way, where is Haruka-san?
I asked Maki-chan to take her to a volleyball game.
She won't be back until evening.
Really?
Boring!
Hey!
If Haruka were here, there'd be no meaning to the secret training!
Yes...
As you say.
This touch is kind of addictive, don't you think?
No, not really.
How it squeezes between the fingers.
Squeezes like that!
Hey!
It smells burnt!
Kana-chan, the fire is too strong!
It's alright.
No problem!
Liar!
Maybe the binding was too loose?
Don't fear the fire!
For now, this is the first try.
Is this minced meat?
I call it... the minced meat burger!
Did you try it?
Th-That's your job.
Is it the kneading,
or are the ingredients not enough to prevent it from crumbling?
Chiaki-sama, please use this.
This time, they aren't crumbling.
But there's a weird bouncy feel to them.
They're kind of... sticky...
It's sticking to my teeth.
It's burning!
It's burning, Kana-chan!
N-No! Th-Th-This is a flambé! A flambé!
What's a flambé?
A dish? Some sort of seasoning?
I will make a delicious Hamburg steak for Haruka, no matter what!
But my heart is on the verge of collapsing!
Keep it together, Kana-chan!
Right!
It's for Haruka, Haruka's sake!
Ohagi burger...
Ohagi is rice cake mixed with red-bean paste.
Cinder burger...
It's the air!
It's written here that if you take out the air, it won't break as easily!
We found the solution!
Yeah...
Alright!
Let's keep this pace up right into the third set!
We sure made a lot.
We really did.
You mastered it!
Yes.
It's just about perfect like this.
We gave it all we had.
Haruka-san will definitely be pleased!
Yeah...
Hey, Kana,
we're done over here.
All that's left now is for you to fry them to perfection.
Leave it to me!
I'll show you that I can make the perfect Hamburg steak!
Are you awake?
The cooking alone is quite a hassle,
and then there's the laundry, the cleaning...
Haruka manages to do all of those chores by herself.
What's that all of a sudden?
I guess that's why she was chosen as a foreign exchange student and such.
Tomorrow, just the two of us will do the chores-
I know.
Haruka will be amazed when she comes back.
Badass of the world, Super Haruka!
Let's send her off with a smile.
I know...
Good night.
What?
Good morning.
Good morning, Haruka-neesama.
I'm sorry, did we wake you?
What are you two doing?
As you can see, we're cleaning!
Please get some more sleep, Haruka-neesama.
Cleaning, laundry... Today, we will take care of all the household chores!
What's with you all of a sudden?
Today is onee-sama gratitude day!
That's what it is. Off you go.
I don't really understand what's going on, but...
... you'll do it for me, then?
Yeah!
Count on us!
Chiaki,
how much detergent do you need?
Isn't it written on the bottle?
What are you doing, idiot?!
Quite unnerving.
Close call...
Hey, shall I help?
No need to worry!
Really?
We really shouldn't rely on her.
Today, it's just the two of us.
How's it coming along?
I mastered frying Hamburg steaks by making Makoto and Touma inhabitants of the toilet.
You just watch!
That looks good!
Thanks for the meal.
Please!
Yeah!
It tastes great!
Alright!
It really tastes good!
The two of you are amazing!
It's nothing!
If we get serious, that's what happens!
I'm glad you're happy.
Really great job, you two.
I was so surprised to see the two of you doing the chores.
I was really happy.
Thanks, you two.
No need for that.
Haruka-neesama...
Now you can safely go on your trip!
You go and have a great time!
We'll be alright, so...
As you can see, we can do the chores, so there's no need to worry.
So...
Hey, Chiaki!
We were going to send her off smiling, right?!
But...
What's wrong, you two?
I don't want you to!
I don't want you to study abroad!
Chiaki...
I don't want you to go abroad!
Don't go, Haruka-neesama!
H-Hey, Chiaki, that's against the rules!
It's...
... not fair!
Then...
Me, too...
Haruka!!!
Kana...
I don't want you to go!
Who told you I was going to study abroad?
Maki-chan said you were going.
I'm not going to study abroad.
Really?
Of course!
Do you think I could leave the two of you behind?
Really?
Stop it already.
Haruka-neesama...
