From Sena?
Let's see...
About Kobato-mas!
You're coming with me to Nagaya on Sunday to buy her a present!
Sunday, huh?
Well, I guess I'm free...
Okay. Sunday, 1pm at the Tooya Station waiting area.
Ahhh!
All those electric poles standing so tall turn me on!
I want to be tied to one and screwed!
But it might be nice to get done from behind too.
Shut up.
Read the first letter of each line.
First letter?
"Let's go on a date tomorrow."
No thanks.
Please! I need help choosing a present for Kobato-san.
Then just say that!
A short note to Hasegawa Kodaka-sama.
Dearest Hasegawa Kodaka-sama,
It gives me the greatest joy to know that you are in good health this fine autumn, my dearest Aniki.
I must apologize for this sudden and unexpected letter. Please forgive me.
I understand perfectly well that you are quite busy,
but there is an issue for which I must ask from you the greatest of favors.
It is for this reason I have taken up my pen.
Once again, I apologize for my rudeness in making the following inquiry to you:
What should I give your sister as a present?
To conclude, I pray for your continued health and good fortune.
That introduction was way too long!
If you're busy, that's fine,
but could you help me choose a present for your sister?
You too?
There isn't much time before the party, so tomorrow would be great,
but I can manage fine without you if need be,
It's stupidly long...
so if you can't come, that's fine.
Because I'll be fine picking a present for her on my own.
How many "fine's" do you need in there?
Well, whatever.
Hey.
Looks like you're all here.
Alright, let's get going.

As Long as There's Love, It Doesn't Matter If I Get More Sisters, Right?
Just sit down, Yozora. Here.
Never mind that.
Why is Meat and everyone else here?
Oh, sorry, I forgot to tell you.
Everyone wanted to go buy a present for Kobato,
so I figured we might as well go together.
That's fine, but I don't like it.
And I really don't like how you're acting like it's completely normal.
How I what?
Forget it, stupid!
I figured it would end up like this.
It's important to know when to give up.
It is indeed, Rika-dono.
Is he just naturally dense?
Or is he doing it on purpose?
Rika?
Never mind!
I was just thinking you're quite an interesting person.
Say what?
And why are you in your uniform and lab coat today?
Is something wrong with it?
You've been putting a ton of effort into your hair lately, but you're always wearing the same clothes.
It feels really weird.
I mean, today you put highlights in, and you're trying to give it a lot of volume.
Y-You noticed that?
You're quite good at this, Senpai.
But I don't really see the point in putting effort into my clothes.
Because you'd just ignore it like when I changed in front of you.
Rika's pretty cute as far as looks go.
I'm sure she'd look pretty nice with some cute clothes.
Huh?
Did I say that out loud again?
The whole thing!
On that note, Sena-senpai...
What?
I'm thinking of expanding my wardrobe.
Are there any stores you'd recommend?
R-Recommend?
Yes!
You have a wonderful sense of style.
I'd love to know where you find your clothes.
Um...
I don't go to Nagaya very often...
I usually go to a high-class store near my house.
The only things around your house are mountains and valleys.
Sena-senpai?
Sena?
I'm sorry. I lied.
Stella takes care of my clothes,
and she does my hair and makeup too.
What's your problem?! You're pissing me off!
Her power level is 5.
Trash.
A scouter?!
By the way, where do you get yours, Yozora-senpai?
Online.
I buy whatever the models in the magazines or on the web sites wear as sets.
So anything in fashion magazines looks good on you? I'm jealous.
You're looking really cute today.
Cute, you say?
Yes. Very girlish and sexy-cute.
Girlish?
Sexy?
Cute?
Y-Yeah...
Impossible!
This was in the "boyish look" corner in the magazine!
Yozora-senpai...
Yozora...
I hate to break it to you, but "boyish look" doesn't mean "looks like a boy".
It means a style that uses more unisex-looking clothes to bring out a girl's natural cuteness.
That's just common sense...
You won't find many guys walking around with their bellies and thighs showing.
But...
I've never paid attention to any other guys, so...
Huh?
Forget it!
I'm going to go shopping for something else first.
Don't come along, Kodaka!
Okay, but are you okay with this kind of crowd?
I'll go with her.
Okay...
Yukimura, could you keep an eye on Yozora and Rika for me?
Make sure they don't collapse in the crowd.
Yes. As you wish, Aniki.
We'll be off then.
Take care of them.
Now then...
Why don't we check out what kind of stuff they've got here?
Okay!
Hey, Kodaka...
What kind of present would get me more love points with Kobato-chan?
IrNec merchandise?
She's got most of the stuff she really wants.
Oh, and try not to get her anything too expensive.
Wow, you're acting like a real parent for her.
Then what should I get her?
How about something that would make you happy?
That'd be Kobato-chan, of course!
That's not happening!
Oh, come to think of it...
Kobato would definitely be happy to get that...
What?
Meat.
Not you, the kind you eat!
I knew that.
Kobato loves anything with meat in it,
so she'd definitely be happy if you gave her meat.
But isn't it a little crude to give food as a birthday present?
I can't believe Sena's lecturing me on common sense...
I'll keep that as a last resort.
Let's check out what else they—
Hold on!
What?
This...
Why did I have to spend an hour waiting for you to do your own shopping?
It's supposed to be the other way around!
I'm sorry...
What's so fun about looking at frying pans, anyway?
Hey now, don't go comparing a D-fal frying pan with normal ones.
Allow me to explain.
No thanks.
You're just so... weird.
Hey, can't a guy like kitchen equipment?
I don't mean just that, stupid.
Either way, those guys sure are taking their time shopping.
Girls take a long time to decide on things...
...is what my galge taught me.
A game taught you that?
Hey, what do you think about Yozora, Rika, and Yukimura?
What do you mean?
How can I put it...
Well, whatever.
How about a girlfriend? Do you want one?
I can't say I don't...
That's so vague.
My goal right now is to make friends.
How can a boring guy who doesn't even have friends get a girlfriend?
I don't think you are.
Huh?
Well, I mean...
Oh, whatever.
What're you trying to say?
Oh, hey, Sena...
What do you think about how Yozora and I used to be friends?
When I heard it, I kind of panicked,
but after thinking about it, I figured it doesn't really matter.
It doesn't matter?
I mean, it's the past, right?
The present is what's important.
Maybe you're right...
Though, I don't know what Yozora thinks about it.
What do you mean?
Nothing.
I just won't lose to her.
That's all.
And Kodaka,
this is important, so remember it.
If I like someone, there's no way they're boring.
Wh-What do you think, Kodaka-senpai?
One of the staff recommended it, so I got it.
Well, uh...
You really can do it if you try, huh?
I'll take that as a compliment.
Aniki... What about me?
Yozora passed this down to me.
Wow, Yukimura! Not bad!
Um...
It looks good on you.
Thank you, Aniki.
But Yozora...
You...
How can you be so...
So...
Shut up, Meat.
I don't feel so good. Keep it down.
A tracksuit...
I got it at the athletics department.
It's good enough.
Anyway, this city just isn't my kind of place.
I'll pick up some random present at a local store.
What?!
Sorry, I think I'll head home too.
What?!
Sorry, Sena.
I don't want to walk around carrying something this heavy.
Hold on!
I shall follow you, Aniki.
Seriously, all of you...
Why do you have to be such downers?
There we go!
Perfect, just like me!
Though, I can't help but feel this is a little too plain for a party.
None of us know what a normal birthday party is like, after all...
It's probably something like this.
By the way Aniki, what does one do at a birthday party?
You give presents and eat cake, right?
What else is there?
Aren't there games that everyone plays?
The only games we have are Meat's galge and Rika's computer games.
ku ku ku...... I don't want to go
It's kind of hard for everyone to play those together...
Come on...
Just come There's a big cake here for you`
Just come There's a big cake here for you
Is she that nervous?
Just come There's a big cake here for you
We should have prepared some party games beforehand.
Just come There's a big cake here for you
I don't have any analog games in the science room either...
Just come There's a big cake here for you
I'll go buy some from the toy shop nearby then!
Just come There's a big cake here for you
Like Twister!
Why Twister?
If you were already here, why didn't you just come in?
Happy birthday, Kobato-chan!
I wanted to try it too.
Me too then.
What was that?
Come on Kobato-chan, sit here!
Here's your cake!
And...
Ta-da!
Well?
Do you like it, Kobato-chan?
You idiot...
Everything you do just has to be creepy, doesn't it?
What? This is a lovely masterpiece of a cake!
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday dear
Kobato,
Kobato-chan!
Kodaka's sister,
Kobato-san,
Aniki's sister,
Can't we be in sync for this at least?
Happy birthday to you!
Go on, Kobato.
Blow out the candles.
Way to go, Kobato-chan!
Hey, what are you doing?!
Whoops, my hand slipped.
Come on, say "Ah".
It has a really nice fragrance.
It's a talisman.
You really went with meat in the end?
Oh, shut up!
I figured you'd be eating it too, so...
Meat...
That's just completely masochistic.
Isn't that great, Kobato?
We get to eat sukiyaki tonight!
Think of me when you eat it!
No!
Sukiyaki!
You sound pretty happy.
Today was a good day!
I'll go get the ingredients for the sukiyaki.
You go home first.
Make haste in your return, my kindred.
Hey.
Crap, Onii-chan?! What are you doing here?
What are you doing in front of my house?
What are you up to?
I thought I might sneak a peek inside.
Can't I, Onii-chan?
No.
And why?
Onii-chan's back!
Yo, Maria, you're visiting?
Did Kate bring you here?
Yeah!
That's the only thing that hag's useful for—
Why are you still here?!
Before I brought you here, you told me,
"I'm indebted to you forever!"
But what was that just now?!
Um... I...
Shut up, shitty hag!
What a helpless brat.
Says the sister who worries so much that she spies on her.
Well, since you're here, how about having sukiyaki with us?
Sukiyaki? Really?!
Yeah...
Today was such a good day, too...
Now it's just poop.
So you're Onii-chan's real sister?
"Onii-chan"?
Well, that's what Maria calls him.
And since I'm her sister, and younger than Onii-chan,
I call him Onii-chan too.
What's wrong?
An-chan!
Stupid An-chan!
Why do you keep getting more little sisters?! Stupid!
Calm down!
That's just what she calls me.
Speaking of which, why did Maria want to come here all of a sudden?
She had something for Kobato-chan.
What business does a foolish minion of the accursed Church have with me, the Queen of the Night?
A-Are you okay, Kobato-chan?
Don't mind her, please.
Okay...
Come on, Maria.
Hurry up and give her your present.
Present?
Why'd you have to say that, poopy shitty hag?
Who cares? It's fine.
Here.
Be grateful I went out of my way to give you one.
Birthdays are special, so even poopy vampires get presents.
You're an evil existence.
So put it on, and its holy power will turn you into a good girl!
Witless nun.
Do you think holy power holds force over me?
What?!
You will see the light, poopy vampire!
Mere words have no effect on me!
That hurts!
Stupid!
Come on, the sukiyaki's ready.
Sukiyaki?
I know what that is!
It tastes really good!
Yay! I'll get out the plates!
Kobato, make sure you thank her for the present.
Tha—
Thank you...
Huh? What'd you say?
Nothing! Idiot!
What was that, you poopy vampire?!
Stupid! Moron!
My condolences, Onii-chan.
I only managed to eat two pieces...
And we went through 2 kilograms...
Those girls sure can eat a lot.
You too.
I'm so full, I'm getting sleepy...
Onii-chan, mind if we sleep over tonight?
Sure.
Really?
Thank—
Are you really 15?
I turned 16 a few weeks ago.
By the way, this is the present Maria got me.
A locket?
What the heck is that?
It's a cicada shedding. She got a friend to encase it.
Meanwhile, she gets a matching key.
Sounds like you've got it tough too.
It's a big sister's job.
Maria!
We're staying here tonight.
Come on, let's take a bath.
I want to take one with Onii-chan...
Idiot! I'm scrubbing you down, so be grateful!
No! I don't want to! Poopy hag!
I'll get some spare clothes out for you.
Let go of me, poopy hag!
Shut up and sit still!
Where did Kobato go?
Kobato?
Onii-chan, you pervert!
S-Sorry!
Perhaps you have a confession to make, little lamb?
I'm sorry.
Then you are forgiven.
That's it?
You didn't peek on purpose, did you?
Of course not!
Then there's no point in holding it against you.
And I like how you don't try to make excuses.
Well... It was definitely my fault.
You're such a nice guy, Onii-chan.
I can see why Pegasus-san would like you.
Are you friends with the Chairman?
We're fishing buddies.
We especially like salmon fishing.
Really? That's a surprise.
Why don't you come with us sometime, Onii-chan?
Okay, sure.
Bye then, Onii-chan.
Yeah. See you at school.
Man, if only you were really our brother.
Or...
Huh?
Or a certain something else would be nice too.
But you've got Sena-san, so whatever.
Huh?
Well, see you!
I would learn exactly what Kate meant by that soon after.

My Childhood Friends Fight Too Much
Next time: My Childhood Friends Fight Too Much.
Onii-chan has childhood friends? He's such a grown-up!
I want a childhood friend too!
You're in the middle of your childhood.
Kobato-chan will be your childhood friend in five years.
I don't want the poopy vampire to be my childhood friend!
She'll always be my enemy!
Yes, yes.
