Kobato, I can't answer the door right now. Could you get that?
If it's a newspaper salesman, just tell them that we don't need one.
Kobato!
We don't need one.
So it was a newspaper.
We don't need one!
We don't need one!!
I'm telling you we don't need one of you, stupid!
What's going on?
We don't need you!
I said, we don't need you!
Oh, it's Onii-chan!
Maria?
Onii-chan!
It's an Onii-chan!
I said we didn't need you!
Why'd you come inside, stupid!
Maria, what are you doing here?
I'm running a gay home!
Huh?!
Wait, that was wrong.
I'm running away from home!
Don't get that wrong—
Wait, running away?!
Yeah!

My Little Sisters Are This Cute
That old hag keeps nagging me to work and work!
So I told her that Onii-chan wouldn't make me work,
and she said, "Then you can go be Onii-chan's kid!"
So you actually came to my house?
Yup!
Hello?
Hey, it's me.
Let's leave aside the bad jokes, Kate-sensei.
Correct! It's your little sister, Kate-chan!
Um... Maria's kind of at my house right now...
Yup. I know.
Would you mind putting her up for a few days?
What? Shouldn't we give her back to you?
Is she causing any trouble?
No, that's not what I mean...
I mean, we're on break right now,
What do you want, poopy vampire?
so we could keep her until that's over.
I'm not poopy, stupid!
Thanks, Onii-chan! I love you!
Shut up.
Why is there so much food?
Is it Christmas?
Of course it isn't.
Then why?
Why? Why?
Hmph. How irksome you minions of the church are.
I hate dealing with those of humble birth.
Wait!
What're you doing, stupidface?!
You have to pray before you eat!
I am of the Children of the Night. I pray to no gods!
Kobato.
You don't need to pray, but at least say thanks for the food.
Thank you for the food.
Very good.
No fair!
Our Father who art in Heaven,
we thank thee Lord that in thy mercy we may partake of this bounty...
Poopy, Amen!
Yummy!
Hey, you haven't finished praying yet!
I'm protecting this fried chicken from the fangs of an evil vampire!
See? You're cheating!
No, I'm not!
Are too! Are too!
Could you guys mind your manners?
Am not!
It takes one to know one!
Hello?
O-Onii-chan...
What color boxers are you wearing?
What do you want?
Well, it's nothing that important.
Have you had dinner yet?
We're actually eating right now.
Okay. Could you tell her to eat her vegetables too, Onii-chan?
Yeah.
So? Who ate my chicken?
She did!
By the way, Maria...
How'd you know where our house was?
I made the old hag come along and show me!
That's a rather novel way to run away from home...
Hello?
Did Maria eat her vegetables?
Happily.
That's good.
Okay, bye!
A-An-chan...
Aeons have passed since the last we played a game. Shall—
I know what this is!
It's an eroge!
It's not an eroge!
It's not?
It's a normal game without ero.
Wanna try it?
Yeah!
A foolish human such as yourself stands no chance against me.
You could at least go easy on her...
Darkness Requiem!
Come on! Get up!
I win again.
I was so close too!
That magic isn't fair!
Hey, you two, go take a bath.
A bath?
Me! Me! Me first!
Yay! A bath!
A bath at Onii-chan's house!
Hey, the bath's over here.
That way?
So this is Onii-chan's bath?
Maria's in the bath.
Then tell her to scrub properly for me.
Are you that worried about her?
I'm not worried about her at all!
It's like white poop!
Maria, I'll leave some clothes out here.
They're Kobato's, but you can wear them.
And make sure you scrub properly.
Okay!
It won't work!
Hey, Onii-chan...
What's up?
These pajamas are a bit tight.
Especially around the chest.
I can't sleep well like this.
Oh, sorry...
Then don't sleep!
Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
Hey Kobato, what's wrong now?
It's Onii-chan's T-shirt!
I fused with Onii-chan!
Ignorant minion of the church,
you shall regret ever mocking me!
As you wish, poopy vampire!
Fight!
Behold my true power.
You are unworthy of being my opponent now.
They say good sleep makes for a good upbringing.
I'm sleeping too!
What's gotten into her?
Guess it's about time I slept too.
Is Maria asleep yet?
Yeah, she is.
Okay.
Hey, are you...
a siscon?
Who're you calling a siscon?!
Hello?
Did she brush her teeth before she—
We'll be in trouble if Maria doesn't go home soon.
Come on, Maria.
Hang in there.
Hold it, Maria!
Tell Onii-chan that you're sorry for causing him so much trouble.
I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble.
You're the one who caused the real trouble here...
Thanks for taking care of her.
No, don't mention it.
Hey, Onii-chan, can I come sleep over again?
Yeah.
Any time you want.
Never come again, stupid!
Shut up, poopy vampire!
I'm definitely coming again!
Bye-bye!
I was worried for a second there, but...
Running away from home? What a childish act!
Looks like that one hit her hard.
Hey now, playing games first thing in the morning?
I must train my mana in preparation for the next time the foolish minion of the church attacks.
She shall bow before my overwhelming power the next time she comes.
The next time she comes, huh?
Man, it's like we've run out of things to do after three days of break.
That's true.
How do normal students pass the time?
No idea.
I remember reading a manga where everyone had fun together after exams were over.
I think it was called a "good work" party?
Oh, I've heard of that.
Then how about we try out a good-work party ourselves?
I didn't study for the exams at all, so it's not like I did any work.
Then you don't get to participate.
Man, I'm so tired!
Those exams have completely worn me out!
Really?
If you're that tired, then you should take it easy and go rest in the nurse's office.
Wha—
Um...
I didn't have to take exams in the first place...
I'm a teacher, so I didn't take them either.
But I want to join in!
Sure, go ahead.
What about me?
Sorry, this party only fits 6 people.
Come on, stop being a bully, stupid!
Good work!
Has everyone got a drink?
Yes!
Alright. Drink!
Wait, wait, you're supposed to offer a toast!
Th-Then...
Good work on completing exams.
Ch-Cheers!
Cheers!
What's wrong?
It's a bit embarrassing, but I'm not very good with carbonated drinks.
Then why'd you pick that?
Because it's the same as yours.
I guess a true man can't let himself be defeated by a mere drink!
Hey...
Are you okay?
Aniki... Please forgive me for this shame.
I'll finish this for you.
Get some orange juice or something.
Aniki...
Indirect kiss!
What are you, a kid?
Geez...
Hey, are you okay?
Yozora, are you still no good with carbonated drinks?
It's not that I can't drink them...
I just don't like them.
"Still"?
Oh, uh...
Crap. I forgot that our past was supposed to be a secret.
How suspicious...
Glug, glug!
So what are we supposed to do next?
Play a game or something?
I've heard that it's popular to play the king's game at parties.
King's game? What's that?
You draw lots to decide on a "king",
then the king gets to order anyone else to do anything they want.
Anything?!
So I can order Yozora to lick my feet?
Ow!
Well, the king's orders are absolute, so that's possible, yes...
I want to play!
Let's play the king's game!
Sounds good to me...
It seems I need to crush your spirit like a bug anyway, stupid Meat.
W-Wait a second!
If we're going to do this, I have one condition!

Orders
Everyone writes an order on a piece of paper and puts it in the box.
That's a weird rule.
If we don't do this, the orders will be completely disastrous...
Everyone's got one?
Alright...
Who's the king?
Oh, it's me!
Clearly I'm the most suited to the role of king!
Whatever, just pick an order, Meat.
You'll receive divine punishment if you talk to your king like that.
The order is...
Number 4 has to change into a swimsuit!
Who wrote that order?!
I did!
Didn't you consider the possibility of having it drawn against you?
King
There's no chance I'd get hit by my own order!
So, who's number 4?
Who's the super idiot who gets to spend the rest of the game in a shameful state
while the rest of us carry on in normal clothing?
An-chan...
Kobato-chan?!
This order is invalid! Null and void!
I feel sorry for her, but once the king's given an order, it is absolute.
Little sister, you can turn your anger against the tyrant over there.
It's my fault?!
But we don't have a swimsuit for her...
I don't have a swimsuit, but...
Um... Kobato-chan...
I'll never forgive you...
I'll never forgive you!
I'm sorry!
Who's the king?
Oh, it's me.
Orders
What idiot wrote this?!
Who's number 5?
Read what's written on here out loud!
Ah, that's me!
Let's see...
S-Stop! I-I'm coming!
I-I'm c-coming!
It feels so good!
I can feel it coming!
What the hell are you making people read?!
Oh, you figured it out?
I thought it'd be fun to watch one of you get really embarrassed reading it out loud.
Let's just carry on.
I'm the king again!
Orders
And the order is...
Welcome!
Did a customer come through with a face like this?
Huh?
You idiot! That was Lupin!
Thank you very much!
The king will go to the convenience store in front of the school,
point at their own face, and ask the clerk, "Did a customer come
through with a face like this?" Then yell at the confused clerk,
"You idiot! That was Lupin!" and leave the store.

Who wrote such a dumb order?!
And why does the king have to follow an order anyway?!
The king's orders are absolute.
Even if it's an order to himself.
So she wrote it.
And she even marked the corner so she wouldn't draw it...
A formidable girl, as always...
Orders
Number 1 has to show their chest to everyone.
That's just evil.
Amazing, Aniki! You're a man amongst men!
Wait, that isn't mine!
Oh, I wrote that.
What were you planning if you got hit with that?
That'd never happen!
What are you basing that on?
So, who has to show us their boobs?
Mine are bigger!
Orders
Curry-flavored poop?
Poop-flavored curry?
Alright. The next order is the last.
Who's the king?
King
Hey, I'm the king!
I'm definitely making you lick my feet this time!
Orders
There's one caught on one side of the box.
Alright! This one's going to be the last order!
Let's see...
Number 3 and the king will kiss!
A kiss?
That is a normal order for the king's game.
Who's number 3?!
Here.
You're gonna kiss?
Wow, you're a grown-up!
C-Come on, Kodaka. Come over here.
What?! We're seriously doing this?
There's no choice!
The king's orders are absolute...
Y-You're right...
You can't!
Wh-What?
You can't!
This is so indecent!
But the king's orders are absolute, right?
Shut up!
You can't! You just can't!
What the heck...
Oh, I know!
There, mission complete.
Th-This was Sena's glass, right?
It's an indirect kiss.
Does that work?
No problems here.
Acceptable.
Aniki...
Alright.
That's the end of the king's game.
Now let's clean up.
Well, I guess doing it as part of a game wouldn't be nice.
Hello?
Hey, it's been a while.
Oh, it's you, Dad?
How you doing, son?
And Kobato?
We're fine.
So, what're you calling for?
Nothing that important, but...
You know, Zaki's all...
"Zaki"?
Oh, the Chairman.
Hey, are you...
...getting married with Zaki's girl?
Huh?!
