I, Karen Onodera...
...experienced a kiss with Mr. Maiku Kamishiro, though it was just a coincidence,
...who may be my relative.
I, Miina Miyafuji...
...couldn't hold my feelings back and forcibly kissed Maiku Kamishiro,
...who may be my relative.
Maiku Kamishiro...
I...
G-Good morning.
Because of that one incident, our relationship has experienced a tremendous jolt...
We may be relatives...
But right now, we're as close to strangers as you can get.
Can I... Can we keep thinking of the people in front of us as relatives?
- I'm not so sure... we can... - I'm not so sure... we can...
Kitto meguri awaseta... I'm sure it's just the whim of the angels...
...tenshi no hon no kimagure da yo. ...that brought us together.
Sanpomichi de fuita sunakaze... A dusty wind blowing along the promenade...
...kokoro ga hayatteku. ...makes my heart race.
Setsunasa hagurakasu no ni wa nareteru no ni, I'm used to evading my loneliness,
...konna toki dake namida ga tomerarenai no wa... ...so why is it that I can't stop the tears...
...naze darou? ...at times like this?
Aimai na kisetsu dakara koso... It's because the season is so ambiguous...
...kasuka na tezawari kokoro de kanjite. ...that I feel these faint stirrings in my heart.
Kagirareta toki o ikiru kara... The time in which we live is finite,
...tatanda tsubasa o ima sugu hirogete. ...so spread your folded wings right now.
Tatoe niji ga kowaretemo, Even if the rainbow breaks,
...sora wa matte iru. ...the sky will be waiting.
Please Twins!
Love Alliance
Ando.
Here.
Uehara.
Here!
Etoh.
Here.
Kamishiro.
Kamishiro?
Where's Kamishiro?
Ma'am, I thought he was suspended.
Y-Yes, of course. I forgot.
Maiku, you're probably with those girls right now...
Oh, I'm so lonely, Maiku!
What I ate for breakfast... How it tasted...
What the three of us talked about...
I don't remember any of it.
That's how disturbed I was.
So I need to remind myself again.
Why did I come to this town?
Is it because I want to meet the mother who abandoned me?
No, I had a faint hope...
...that I might be able to see the relative that I'm in that picture with.
That if I was able to meet her, I would never make her sad.
That's right, that's what I was thinking when I came here.
Miina Miyafuji... Karen Onodera...
Nice to meet you!
I'm someone who's related to you by blood!
We really DO have the same eye color, after all...
Apparently, this photograph was handed over along with me when my mother gave me away.
That is what I heard from the foster parents who raised me.
The two of them are relatives.
They might be my relatives...
If they are, then I...
I...
What should we do, Miss Miina?
I'm so nervous that I don't think I can look Mr. Maiku in the eye anymore...
I know how you feel, but don't think about it too much.
You know, that kiss was more like an accident.
But it was the first time for me...
To think that my first kiss would be with Mr. Maiku...
Mr. Maiku may be my relative...
Miss Miina?
Is something the matter?
N-No.
Y-You know, I think it'd be all right if Maiku was your relative.
See, that would make it a kiss out of affection for your family!
T-That's true. It's all right for relatives to kiss...
But if we were strangers...
If we're strangers, what I did with Mr. Maiku... um...
You're so cute.
Karen, you're so cute.
Miss Miina...
Do you like Maiku?
I-I'm not sure.
But Mr. Maiku is on my mind all the time.
If you're saying that this feeling is love, then yes, I might be.
Love as a stranger, or as a relative?
I'm not sure which of those, either...
But I want to be with Mr. Maiku...
I want to be with Mr. Maiku in this house that Mother used to live in.
Yeah... I want to stay here, too.
But Karen...
We can stay here because we might be relatives, right?
Yes...
If we found out we were strangers, we might be able to fall in love with Maiku.
But we'd no longer have a reason to keep on living in this house.
Yes...
If we're strangers, we can't continue living in that house...
It may be okay for now, but even if we were allowed to stay,
...I'm sure that it would get more and more awkward.
It would be impossible to continue living in that house.
I know that's what will happen.
I'm in no position to be saying those things to Karen...
Is it really necessary to forcefully clarify our relationships?
Who is the relative, and who is the stranger?
I can't control my own feelings...
Just like Karen can't control hers.
What am I going to do if I find out that she's a stranger?
If Maiku is my relative...
I--
Miina...
Maiku...
Feelings...
Miina. Look, about yesterday... Um...
My feelings...
Well...
I'm sorry about yesterday! Were you surprised?
That was actually just a test!
A test...?
You know, there are those rumors going around school...
...about you and that Shimazaki guy, right?
So I was testing you to see if the rumor was true!
But if it was on your mind this much, then you've got to be straight.
Boy, am I glad that someone who might be my relative isn't gay.
Wait a minute, you pulled that stunt because of THAT...?
It was a perk for you, right?
I see, that's what that was about...
Oh, well.
I'm a bit irritated, but I'm also relieved.
I see, so what's what it was...
Yeah, that's what it was...
Don't do stuff that can give folks the wrong impression.
I'm sorry...
If you're gonna have to apologize later, don't do it in the first place.
Yeah...
I'm gonna go home and work.
Don't slack off. Do what you need to do.
Sure.
Oh, and I'm straight. Make sure you remember that.
Understood.
Or more to the point, don't doubt me.
Yeah.
Yeah...
It's all right, I'm fine... I'm used to this.
I'm used to pulling back like this...
So I'm fine... I'm fine.
That's a lie.
I can't do that...
I can't!
Little Marie!
I have Prech!
You're a greedy little one, aren't you?
M-Mr. Maiku...
Karen...
Um, Mr. Maiku, I...
Karen, you know, I...
I'm sorry, Karen!
I'm apologizing for what happened in the locker room yesterday.
It may have been a coincidence, but I thought it might have been something important for you.
So I wanted to say something.
I'm sorry.
Mr. Maiku...
It may be impossible for you, but if you can, I'd like you to forget about it.
I'll try to do the same.
Since we might be relatives, I don't want us to be thinking of each other in that way.
We're students, but we have to support ourselves,
...so we don't have the luxury of worrying about other things.
Even if we found ourselves in such a situation, we'd still have to live from day to day.
So, um...
Mr. Maiku...
Mr. Maiku, what happened yesterday was an accident, so please don't worry about it.
I won't worry about it, either.
No, I've already forgotten about it.
Because you and I might be relatives, Mr. Maiku...
Karen, I...
I'm sorry.
Karen...
We may be relatives...
We may be strangers.
Are we going to keep being tossed around by this ambiguous relationship?
I want to clarify my relationship with Mr. Maiku.
But when that happens... One of us will no longer be able to stay in this house.
If we're not relatives, we will need to leave this house someday.
I don't want them to face that situation.
If I am a relative, I can stay in this house.
I can be with Mr. Maiku.
If I'm a stranger, I can't stay in this house.
But...
...I could fall in love.
If I were related to Mr. Maiku...
If I were strangers with Mr. Maiku...
Karen, can I come in?
Y-Yes. P-Please wait just a moment.
C-Come in.
Thanks.
The water's great, isn't it?
It is.
We always take a bath together.
It's awfully distant of you to go in without me.
I'm sorry...
I'm not angry or anything.
Yes...
- Um... - Um...
What is it?
No, go ahead, Miss Miina.
Okay... Well, Karen...
I... I kissed Maiku.
I kissed Maiku.
Miss Miina...
I'm in love with Maiku.
He might be my relative. I'm so stupid...
I know it's stupid, but I can't stop myself...
I don't know when I started feeling this way.
Maybe it was when he convinced me to stay.
Maybe it was when I saw him in my dreams.
I don't know. I don't know, but...
Maiku...
To me, Maiku is...
I knew how you felt, Karen, but I...
But I still... But...
Miss Miina...
I'm sorry, Karen...
Please don't apologize!
I feel the same! I feel the same way.
I'm in love with Mr. Maiku.
Yeah, I'm in love with Maiku.
I'm in love with Mr. Maiku.
Maiku--
Mr. Maiku--
But I can't tell Maiku.
Yes. I don't want to know which of us is his relative.
If we found out, you and l will be separated, Karen.
I don't want to be separated from you, Miss Miina.
I want to be with Maiku. I want to be with Karen.
I want to be with you, Miss Miina.
Stuffed Roasts
This is...
Eat these before they get cold. --Maiku
Roasts...?
Eat these before they get cold. --Maiku
Mr. Maiku...
Maybe he's being nice to us?
I'm sure he is.
But these have already gone completely cold, haven't they?
He's rather awkward...
Yeah, but that awkward part is another thing about him that I like.
Yes. Me, too.
Morning.
Morning, Maiku.
Good morning.
Y-Yeah...
A love alliance?
Yup. A love alliance between us, people who love Maiku.
Sure! Let's form an alliance!
But... What would this actually involve?
Well, let me think...
Love Alliance rule #1.
Neither of us will ask Mr. Maiku out until we find out for sure which of us is the relative.
Rule #2. If you find out you're related to Maiku, you inform the other person right away.
Rule #3. The relative will support the other's romantic relationship with Mr. Maiku.
Rule #4. We get rid of any other girls who come on to Maiku,
...even if we have to use brute force.
That's a bit extreme...
You think so?
That's Miina Miyafuji and...
...Karen Onodera's...
-...Love Alliance. -...Love Alliance.
Hey, Maiku.
Kamishiro.
I'm sure you've been working hard.
Shut up.
I was a little lonely when you weren't around, Kamishiro.
I-Is that so?
Maiku!
If we don't hurry, we'll be late!
H-Hey, what's going on here?
Rule #4.
Yes, #4.
W-What's that about?
Never mind. Let's hurry.
Let's hurry to class.
I-I know that.
Hey, don't pull so hard!
I think I've been dumped.
Those girls...
They're in love.
I'm in love with Maiku.
I'm in love with Mr. Maiku.
I can't tell him my feelings for now.
But I don't mind if that's the case.
As long as I have these feelings...
- These feelings... - These feelings...
Ano hoshi wa onaji matataki de... With the same twinkling, that star...
...kawarazu ni watashi o mite. ...unchangingly watches over me.
Taikutsu na yume o nageki fuseta... It gently lit up the side of my face...
...yokogao o sotto terashiteta. ...as I smothered my grief with dull dreams.
Asu ni wa chiisa na nimotsu seoi, Tomorrow, I'll become the bird that flies off...
...kouya o tobitatsu tori ni naru kara. ...into the wilds with a small parcel on its back.
Mukai kaze no naka (kao agereba)... If I look up into the wind in my face,
...mukau basho wa mada (haruka tookute). ...my destination is still far in the distance.

We won a prize drawing and came down to the south islands.
When I went to the beach all alone with Maiku...
Miss Miina, please don't forget Love Alliance rule #1.
I-I know that...
While I say that, Miss Miina, we have a huge problem!
Miss Senpai, and Miss President are both on this southern island!
What? Why?!
I don't know... I don't know, but this will turn into one big mess!
