Kazuki-chan.
Don't forget about us.
Never ever.
Uh, um...
No...
Yuuji, Marie-chan, don't go.
I have to give Yuuji this letter...
To Yuuji
I have to...
Yuuji!
Yuuji, wait, Yuuji
I have a letter for you..
Yuuji, Yuuji...
A... dream?
It's been a long time since I've had that dream.
And besides,
it would've been better if I'd only dreamt that Yuuji'd come back as a pervert.
Eh? Why is the window...?
Morose Kazuki and the
Apron of Temptation
Why did you do that all of a sudden?!
I was sleeping so comfortably, too!
That's my line!
Anyway, why are you here?!
No reason, really.
It's just that after I woke up, I felt like a visit.
Also, the windows were open
Open...?
But since you were sleeping so soundly,
I crawled into your bed to act like a hug-pillow.
Which means you still haven't kicked your hugging habit.
You held me so tightly,
You nearly choked me to death.
Is that all you have to say?
Oh yeah, I totally felt it out.
Kazuki, you don't wear a bra to bed, do you?
Father wants to know...
Damn you!
Eliminating...
Ouch! Hey! Ah! Wait! Ueh! Geh...
Mission Accomplished...
Why are you here too, Marie-chan?
And if you were here, why didn't you get rid of Yuuji earlier?!
Um, about that...
That wouldn't do, right?
If she did that, then you'd probably never make any progress.
Hatsune-oneesama caught me the moment I entered the room.
Onee-chan...
Excuse me, but why is Yuuji eating breakfast with us?
Marie-chan, she can stay.
Mmmm, delicious!
Well, Hatsune-san's a pretty good cook, unlike you.
Help yourself and eat all you want.
Yes, I will!
Kazuki, are you going to eat that?
If you won't, I will.
I'm eating it!
Even at my house...
Kazuki-chan.
It can't be helped.
All our parents went on a two-week overseas trip to celebrate this reunion.
Two weeks? I thought they were just hitting the hot springs for two or three days.
In addition, their parents asked us to take care of their children, as stated.
What the heck is Uncle Kagura thinking?!
Anyway, where did they go?
South, I suppose...
News alert.
Japanese Lost
in South America!
Possibly in some kind of trouble!?
In the region north of South America, known as the Bermuda Triangle.
Our local reporter has informed us about a small plane.
The plain is believed to have crashed,
and the safety of the four passengers, both men and women, is unknown.
A search team was dispatched southward to search the jungle,
Same Metal
but the passengers are still considered missing.
Hmm, isn't that...?
We will return when more information is available.
Yes, it is...
What's the matter?
No, it's nothing really.
The plane they just showed on TV looks just like our father's.
Also, that's in South America...
W-What are you talking about?
Please don't joke about that.
No way!
That means the four men and women they were talking about are...
Our parents?!
Yeah, probably.
Oh, my.
Hello, this is the Arisaka residence.
Ah, Uncle Kagura.
Hello, Uncle?
Oh! Kazuki-chan!
Sorry, the plane broke down.
That's all. Hey, what are you doing!
So, it's really you on the news.
Heh, we're on the news already?
Well, we're fine. We managed to make an emergency landing near a village.
An emergency landing...
Also, in that village...
There are lots of very intriguing ancient ruins.
What're you getting at, Uncle?
So, we plan to stay awhile and study the ruins.
What in the world does your father actually do?!
He's just a freelance cameraman.
Also, he has a side job as a treasure hunter.
It always felt like his side job was his main job.
Ah, hello? Kazuki?
Dad? Are you all right?
Did you hurt yourself?
I'm fine. But I'll be sticking around here for awhile, too.
This is a rare opportunity. You don't see many villages like this one.
The world is full of mysteries waiting to be explored.
Our father is a professor of cultural anthropology.
We plan to keep investigating until our plane is fixed.
Hahaha, Arisaka, we can get weapons here too!
How are our mothers?
Kazuki, as long as I'm with your father, it doesn't matter where we are.
Ah... You know...
Ah! We thought something like this might happen,
so we've already deposited an allowance for you.
So, Kazuki-chan... please keep taking care of Yuuji and Marie.
Eh?!
Doh! Arisaka, look!
Oh! What is that!?
Oh! You got it coming now, you bastards!
Dad? Dad, wait!
You don't need to worry, since our father is with them.
He has a lot of survival experience.
Well, we may as well enjoy this while we can.
How can you two be so calm about this?!
Our father goes from country to country exploring ruins, and moves on when he gets bored of them.
So, he's already moved many times.
And because of that, he's good at archeology.
Mom always follows him wherever he goes.
As their children, we're already used to it.
Well we are not "used to it"!
Don't worry, he gets bored easily.
He'll come back really soon.
Kazuki-chan, let's place our trust in them.
But...
However, this leaves us with a lot of work to do.
True.
Hm?
W-What is this?
You haven't unpacked all your things yet?
We planned to do it when our parents got back, but...
We can't wait forever for them.
I'll help out.
Eh? Really?
Because, I can't calm down right now.
Okay, then get to work right away.
So heavy... what's inside of this?
Kazuki!
I'm all right.
Not all right!
Be more careful with this thing!
Really! What if the contents were damaged?!
What's wrong with him?!
You really should be worried about a girl's safety first.
You don't understand how precious this is to me!
What is that so called "important treasure," anyway?
My important treasures are held inside!
Ah! What's that?! You're the worst!
What did you just say?!
Did you just say that my sexy collection of blood and tears is the worst?!
Keep those things away from me.
Ahh!
Here, here, looky, looky.
No, stop it!
Hahahaha, look.
Stop! No!
Hahaha!
My my, they're so intimate.
Have another look, closer this time!
Looky, looky.
Noo!
Oh my...
Don't joke around!
I'm fine with looking after Marie-chan, but not with a pervert like this...
But Kazuki-chan, Uncle asked us to...
That doesn't matter to me! Don't try to enter our house ever again!
What?!
Hatsune-san...
Kazuki said those...
Don't worry.
I'll open the window in Kazuki's room for you, just like I did this morning.
So you did that!
How come you're fine with Marie, but not me?!
Because you'll definitely do something perverted!
No, I will not.
I just wanted us to live like in the old times.
Me too...
You will... I'm sure of it!
No, I will not!
Yes, you will!
No, I won't!
I know a good way to find the answer to this question.
Good way?
Kazuki-chan, I really understand why you don't trust Yuuji-kun.
If that's the case, you two will live together for today.
Let's see if Yuuji-kun does something perverted or not.
Onee-chan.
And if he really does something perverted, you may decide whether he stays or not.
I understand that, but...
Why do we have to wear these outfits?!
What a well-matched pair.
Reminds me of the times when we played house.
Wonderful.
Doesn't this hurt his chances?
But, doesn't this clothing make you more tempting?
Why must I be the one to tempt him?
Oh...
I thought you didn't want to live with him, right?
If that is the case, you'll increase his chances to fail, right?
Wait a second!
I think these types of cosplay would make the best tempting outfit.
Master, would you like some tea?
Okay, let's take your temperature!
Onii-chan, I had a nightmare.
Quit it with your strange imagination!
I'm not going to try that!
He should be falling for my charm, not just groping me!
You're too naïve, Kazuki.
That apron's not short enough to do anything for me!
Easy victory, easy victory.
It's just like old times. You were such an ungraceful bride when we played house.
If you lose, then you'll need to look after me.
U-Ungraceful...
Welcome home. Do you want dinner, or a bath?
STRIKE!
Isn't he easily trapped?
Newsflash: I'm already a grown woman with my own special charm.
Give it up. You can't win!
Isn't she overdoing it?
Kazuki-chan has a lot of pride and hates to lose.
Since my brother is causing a lot of trouble to you two,
it seems best to annihilate him.
No, no... Isn't Yuuji-kun trying his best?
Is that so...
And since Kazuki-chan is so eager,
let's try our best to tempt Yuuji-kun.
Wait a second, Onee-chan.
Do your best, Yuuji! Don't lose, Yuuji!
What should I do?
How is it, Kazuki-chan?
Kazuki-chan, why are you in your swimsuit?
Don't open the door, Onee-chan.
I don't want Yuuji to catch a glimpse.
Hurry up and close the door!
That's what she said, Yuuji-kun. What do you think?
I'm no longer childish enough to be tempted by a mere swimsuit.
Not to mention, it's a school... swim... suit...
Either he's lost it, or this is a miserable act.
As I thought, annihilation is the best option.
I said no, didn't I? Maybe he'll calm down.
No, I do not think so.
But it seems that Yuuji-kun is trying his best.
If it goes on like that, Kazuki-chan will have to look after him.
Eh?! That'll be very troublesome.
Onee-chan, how can I win this battle?
Why not try washing your body and letting him listen to those sounds?
I think I can handle that much.
Especially if you show off the most charming part of the female anatomy.
M-Most charming part?!
You should already know. You are at that age, after all.
That part, that P-A-R-T...
Ah! You mean that part!
Don't tell me...
The... the... the belly button?
Ball...
Eh?
Kazuki, you're just too cute.
I really want to hug you right now.
But Kazuki's still pretty childlike to think of the belly button.
People normally think of the breasts.
Don't laugh; Kazuki-chan's just too cute for her own good.
She's just like a child.
I've had enough!
Come on, touch me now, will you?!
STRIKE!
I can still make it...
I will not lose...
So stubborn!
And so, let's move on quickly.
Huh... Honey, you shouldn't move around.
STRIKE!
Honey, thanks so much for working so hard.
STRIKE!
Is there something wrong, Honey?
STRIKE!
Ah!! I won't lose!
Why does it look like he's suffering over this?
What is this? It's as if I'm the bad guy here!
Honey, please eat.
Let's see.
I have a lot of faith in this original dish of mine.
If he eats it...
Nas-ty...
Are you trying to kill me?!
How can that be? It shouldn't be nasty.
See, I told you so.
Why?
You can't get to my heart with cooking like this.
Since it's a waste to throw it away, I'll just eat it all.
And you'll have to look after me.
If he wins, won't we have to eat such food every day?
Here goes.
I'm not going to lose...
If it's that nasty, then just don't eat it.
Done...
Really, to have rice stuck to your face.
You're still a child, even after we've grown up.
But since you've eaten everything, I would like to say "Thank you."
ONLY STRIKE!
Batter under! Batter under!
Y-Yuuji?
Amazing, that's amazing, Kazuki-chan.
When did you learn that technique?
What technique?
He fell for such a weak temptation.
So, Kazuki-chan. Say the word.
And let the punishment begin.
Come on, deliver the final blow.
I just wanted us to live like in the old times.
That's enough.
I'll let him into our house, and I'll look after him.
Is that okay, Kazuki-chan?
He did try his best. But if he really does something perverted again,
I'll smite him with all my might.
Is that so?
But are you sure you want to admit defeat, Kazuki-chan?
Not really, but I'll win if I keep going until the end.
Hehe, I wonder if that's true.
Of course. I just lost to him on purpose this time.
Come on, let's end this.
Let's have dinner after you change clothes.
Eh? But we still have our secret weapon left. That's a shame...
Secret weapon?
Actually, there is is something special about the clothes you're wearing.
If you pull this ribbon...
Oh my, a miracle.
What is this?
Pull the string and it'll transform into a "naked apron."
I hereby name it the "Newlyweds Anytime Naked Apron."
Is that a pun?
What possible purpose does this kind of clothing have?!
Anyway, give me something wearable!
Here I come!
Executing punishment.
Stop it, Marie.
Eh? Yuuji and Marie are in the same school as us?
Oh, didn't I mention that?
That brat Marie... I bet she was so happy to be able to shoot me today.
That's so like you, Chihaya.
And so, what happens next?
About what?
About that first boyfriend of yours, of course!
Eh... About that...
Next Episode
Kazuki, it's about time you introduced me to your childhood friend.
About... that...
Is there a problem?
Not really; he's actually quite a normal guy.
Smart Yuuji and Shocked Kazuki.
Next time: Tonagura.
