Now then, three years have passed since you two made up again.
Hey, Kazuki.
Hey, I wish you would stop coming in through the veranda...
And I wish you would get used to it already.
We're a couple now, after all.
I'll never get used to it!
Give me a break, I've been saying the same thing for the past three years.
But I can't help it.
I simply want to be like this with you as soon as possible.
You idiot...
I love you, Kazuki.
Yuuji...
Episode 7
End
Strongest * Invincible My Sister
Onee-chan?
Well, time to start working on episode eight.
No wonder I was having a strange dream...
But anyway, what are you doing in my room this early?
Well, you weren't waking up, so I wrote some diary entries.
Or should I say, love memories?
Not to mention that what you're writing is much more than a diary.
It's only been a week since that happened.
But it made you have a nice dream, didn't it?
That's nonsense.
It's true that we made up, but it's not like I've completely forgiven him yet.
Yuuji-kun sure has his troubles.
Although, he did sleep alongside a hugging pillow for quite some time.
Before I knew it, I fell asleep.
This part is any guy's fantasy!
Onee-chan, you unlocked it again?!
Where's Marie-chan at a time like this?
I-I'm sorry. I will eliminate him immediately.
Kazuki!
Ouch! no! My butt! Stop it!
Looks like everyone is in high spirits this morning.
Onee-chan, is that what you'd call this?
My...
So, where's Chihaya-chan?
She told me she was taking the day off because of a cold.
Heh, that's boring.
Oh yeah, Hatsune-san!
Yes?
This morning I failed and I got caught.
Ah, sorry about my sister.
Hatsune-oneesama spoils Onii-sama too much.
We have to find her weakness and stop her.
Weakness? Come on, don't exaggerate.
Even this morning when I tried to stop Onii-sama...
She brought me down with one blow.
What're you two doing when I'm not around?
And what do you make of it, Kazuki-san?
Well, of course if would help if Onee-chan calmed down a bit, but...
I wonder if she really has a weakness?
She's a perfect person, after all.
Which means?
First of all, she's popular.
Good morning, Hatsune-san!
Thank you very much.
By the way, that's her fan club.
This is the first time I've heard of its existence.
That's because their activities are low-key.
Arisaka-senpai!
Would you like to go out with me this Sunday?
Hey you! Club member #100!
Yes!?
What are you doing waltzing up here and asking her out?
Watching over Hatsune-san from afar is our creed, dammit!
Apologize to the world for your rudeness!
Show some manners, newcomer!
That's what their "conditions" are like.
Even for being low-key, they certainly are an annoying organization.
But, she is actually enjoying it...
She says it makes her happy when people grow to love her.
I see.
For Hatsune-oneesama with her charisma, that's to be expected.
It's not only charisma, she's really smart too.
Her physical abilities are also good, and she has artistic skills as well.
What are you doing?!
In order to find Hatsune-oneesama's weakness,
I will use this special piece of equipment to its fullest and commence investigation.
How'ya doin' Marie-chan?
It's a good morning today as well, ne~?
You could at least say "How are you doing?", Niina-san.
Furthermore, I'm not doing anything, nor am I Marie. I am merely a bush.
Oh, so it's Shigeo-san!
Please do not talk to the bush.
Ta-da~a!
So silent talk is okay, ne~?
No!
Wait ne~, Marie!
Marie, wait wait wait!
Niina-chan, you're saying everything out loud...
It's just like what Kazuki-san said.
Superior grades, both an excellent student and athlete, and more popular than anyone else.
Certainly flawless.
Hatsune-san is looking at the camera in all of the photos.
That's most likely because she noticed Niina-san following me.
I don't think that's the only reason, though...
At any rate, at school, Hatsune-oneesama has no weaknesses.
I told you that, didn't I? On top of that,
she's great at housework too, even this lunchbox...
Highly delicious.
I was wondering what you were up to,
but who would have thought you were looking for Hatsune-san's weakness?
But you'd like to know, right?
Sure, she's very different from her little sister.
You're bad at cooking, fussy, quick to sulk, violent...
Eh, well, Hatsune-san is human, after all.
She's bound to have a weakness or two if you look for them.
Do you have any idea what it could be?
Well, let's see... It might be something normal
like being scared of dogs or something.
What's wrong? It's just a scarab.
We use to catch them all the time when we were kids, right?
Wait, stop it,
No, go away! Marie-chan, help m--!
N-No way...
Stop! Don't! Please, take it off!
Take it off!
This is looking really good! Here I come!
You should just buzz off as well!
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Welcome back...
Look, this scarab has wonderful copper-colored wings.
S-Stop that!
Oh, really? But it's so cute...
Arisaka-senpai!
My, my, today as well?
Please, would you join the softball club today?
Pick flower arrangement instead.
No, the tennis club.
The handicrafts club!
Those things wouldn't suit Senpai at all.
What's that!? Come on.
My, my, don't fight now.
All right, Onee-sama!
I'll go somewhere else for a while.
Is Hatsune-oneesama popular with the girls as well?
Yes, very much.
And when they noticed her talents, every club started pushing her to join.
But she keeps refusing them.
That must be very disheartening.
Disheartening... Well...
I wish Onee-chan would find something to devote herself to.
She has the skills after all, but all she does is tease me every day.
It's a waste.
I wonder why she won't do anything.
The way my sister thinks is an eternal mystery for me.
It really seems as if she has no weaknesses.
Looks like we couldn't convince her again today.
I guess she cares more about taking care of things at home.
I heard that her parents went abroad recently.
Maybe her family is just too much work.
But she's amazing with her housework as well!
Do you think...
...that I could be the reason?
That I'm only causing her trouble all the time?
Arisaka-san!
Do you have a minute?
Yeah.
It's for the media club, but we can't find your sister, so we wondered if she'd gone home already?
Well, she's in the "go home" club, you know.
I wonder if we lost her somewhere.
Thank you, I'll try looking some more.
We can't catch a cold with just this! You rascals!
If we're going to share the pain of Hatsune-san when she collapsed from a cold,
we have no choice but to catch a cold ourselves?
Once more!
Onee-chan... collapsed?
We can't find your sister...
Onee-chan!
What's wrong? You look pale.
There were no club activities today?
Where's Onee-chan?
Well, Hatsune-san is preparing dinner...
Oh, welcome home!
That was fast. Did you finish your club activities?
And so, today's dinner is Vietnamese dishes...
Geez! What are you doing!?
Just as I thought, you have a slight fever.
Did you overwork yourself?
All I did yesterday was spend the entire night looking at your sleeping face and making entries in the diary.
That's obviously it, so please take a rest.
People who collapse from a cold shouldn't be doing housework!
"Collapsed"? You mean me?
Well, that's what the guys in the fan club were saying.
Not collapsed really, you know, I can lose my footing and slip sometimes too...
Leave everything in the house to me!
Onee-chan, just relax and rest up, okay?
Kazuki-chan... I understand.
Onee-chan!
I guess it is a slight cold.
But since that's all, I'll get better just by resting for a little while.
Sometimes it's nice to act spoiled!
So, I'll be working in Hatsune's place!
Cleaning!
Laundry!
Cooking!
Ah, we'll probably be in the way, so we're leaving.
Anyway, please excuse us.
Where do you two think you're going!?
Ah, I figured we could just cut some of your workload...
Right, right.
You don't have to worry about that.
Please just stay here and eat dinner with us as you always do.
All right, I'll do my best for Onee-chan's sake!
Wa... Wait
Kazuki...
As expected, Kazuki-chan's cute.
Ahh, is this what Onee-chan does every day?
And all this time I've been taking it easy with club things, and playing around with my friends.
But! I won't let Onee-chan going through it alone anymore.
I don't want to see my sister overworking herself just because of me.
There you go, eat up!
O-Okay...
Okayu = Rice + water, commonly served to the ill
Now then, it's about time to prepare the okayu for Hatsune.
Do you want to make Hatsune-san better, or do you want to finish her off? Which is it?
What's that supposed to mean!?
With this kind of poisonous food, even the recuperating would get sick!
You're saying you didn't faint because of the incredible taste?
All it did was send me walking down to the pits of Hell!
What's wrong with you?
I did my very best cooking this, so it has to be delicious!
There's something wrong with your sense of--
B-But why?
Even though I added lots of seasoning to cover up the taste?
It didn't cover anything at all.
What should I do?
Kazuki...
I've always relied on Onee-chan for everything.
I feel that at times like this, I should at least be able to do something for her.
But I'm just...
Baka (stupid) + Kazuki = Bakazuki
Aw man, you're really a Bakazuki.
W-What do you mean, "stupid"?
Instead of trying to do everything by yourself, try asking us for help for a change.
You're not the only one worried about Hatsune-san, you know?
Yuuji... Marie-chan...
To finish me off?
Don't say the same things as Yuuji.
I'm kidding. Did you make it yourself, Kazuki-chan?
Eh, well,
Yuuji and Marie helped me out.
I think it made me a bit happy.
Kazuki-chan, that's unfair.
Eh?
How come you get all lovey-dovey with Yuuji-kun when I'm not around?
I wanted to see it too.
Lovey-dovey? We weren't like that at all.
Bah.
O-Onee-chan...
Well then... But if you let me eat from mouth-to-mouth, I'll forgive you.
Mouth-to-mouth!?
Let's eat...
I'll out as well, so give me a kiss too!
Annihilating.
Pardon the ruckus.
I thought I would die.
Thanks for the food.
Thank you, Kazuki-chan. It was delicious.
D-Don't mention it.
Here's my appreciation.
Onee-chan, why do you always have to play around with me?
It's because you're so cute, of course.
Stop caring about me so much already.
What?
Kazuki-chan... You don't like being with me?
That's not it...
I wish you would do the things you want to.
Don't overburden yourself because of me or our parents.
Yes?
I'll stop doing club activities and help out with my share of the housework.
I get it. So that's what it's about.
But I refuse!
Onee-chan...
I'm not bothered by the housework at all.
I was always in the "go home" club to begin with.
Mom and Dad have only been away recently, right?
Well that's true... But why then?
Like I said, I'd rather look after you than join a club.
So that's the reason?!
Hey, wait, that was pretty close to my lips!
How to put it.. In this situation not even I could...
It's just uncomfortable, I guess.
I agree.
So we'll just...
H-Hey, wait a minute,
Yuuji, Marie-chan!
Now we're all alone, aren't we?
Wa... Wait...
Actually, I'm fine as long as you act the way you always have.
It's just because I want you to do the things you want to do.
Do your best in the club.
Help out now and then with the housework.
Get along with Yuuji-kun.
Fight with him.
That would make me happy.
Onee-chan... Okay...
Ah, so that's how it is!
Let's get naked and warm each other up!
Eh!? That's not the way to treat a cold!
Hatsune-oneesama's weakness.
I feel like I've come to understand it somehow.
I guess so.
Maybe we could also get kissy-kissy sometimes? Kissy-kiss...
Ph-phorry. I got iz.
Getting a cold herself after nursing you is pretty much a given.
Are you all right?
I'll manage...
I'm sorry, Kazuki-chan.
I might have played around a bit too much.
I'm pfine, don't worry.
I'll make some congee for you, just wait a bit.
Owie, I bumped into it.
Yuuji-kun, Marie-chan, let's go eat breakfast.
There, please eat up.
She does look like the usual Hatsune-oneesama...
Could we just be mistaken about what happened back there?
It would seem so.
Let's eat!
I'm feeling gross all over.
She hasn't lost it, but her touch has dropped.
Something wrong?
Um, Hatsune-san, this is...
Oh my, oh my, oh my! I'm sorry!
Eh, what was it again?
Ah, no, nothing at all.
Really? Then I'll go prepare breakfast for Kazuki-chan.
Say, about Kazuki's cold...
I'm really sorry, it looks like my hand slipped all of a sudden.
They say a summer cold is bad.
Oh my...
Um, Hatsune-san?
Oh my...
You'll be busy nursing Kazuki back to health and all, so we'll go back to our own house for now.
You can't do that. You've been entrusted to me by your parents, after all.
Oh my!
Several Days Later...
Kazuki... please... hurry... to... get over your... cold.
Onii-sama, I have confirmed it.
Hatsune-oneesama's weakness is... Weakness is...
Oh my!
Oh my, oh my!
