All right!
One, two, three...
Wha-What're you starin' at?
I just thought the way you're counting money doesn't fit your image.
Well sorry!
There've been a lot of expenses this month. It's my long-awaited allowance!
No need to apologize.
I'm really happy to see a side of you I didn't know!
I'd rather not show it.
Oh no, it's burning!
Here, today's lunch is Midori's Deluxe Hamburger Steak.
Looky, these heart-shaped carrots inside the meat are the highlight!
I really could care less about that.
Digging in!
Wow!
This is good and all, but money's come in so tonight let's go out to eat.
D-Does that mean a date?
No way!
What should I do? I don't have anything to wear.
Oh, no, I'm not trying to get you to buy me anything.
I can't ask you to go shopping when you've only now invited me to dinner.
If I start sewing now I might make something in time!
Listen!
I told you it ain't a date!
So it's, you know!
It's a way of thanking you for all the chores you've done...
...like a give and take kind of thing.
Why are you angry?
I'm not angry!
You've had it if you've stooped to talking to yourself.
S-Sis!
Pathetic. As always you've got no girlfriend to comfort you.
This is bad...
If she finds out about Midori, I'm in for a world of hurt...
His sister?
The scent of a woman...
S-Sis, what're you here for?
Darn it!
Gimme back my expense money!
Dream on.
Why are you sponging off your little brother's allowance?
Even if you had money, it'd all just be blown on porn mags and whatnot!
I'll do something useful with it. Be a good boy and give it to me.
This isn't funny! Give it back! Ogre! Demon! Cow!
Who do you think you're talkin' to!
You're 148,000 light years away from being able to oppose your sister O-Rin!
C'mere!
Is the "demon right hand of Mad Dog Sawamura" going to cry?
Owww ow ow ow ow ow...
Huh? Heh?
H-How do you do, sister?
Th-That's the first time I ever beat her...
Of all people, she's the last one I wanted finding out...
That's really a tough story to swallow, you know.
Just don't tell anyone, all right?
Your name's Midori, right?
Y-Yes, ma'am...
Sis!
What part of this fool did you fall in love with?
That doesn't make any difference!
Seiji is really strong and reliable, and warmhearted and kind.
Those are the reasons why...
Don't answer her seriously!
I thought she must be an oddball, but she's a really nice girl.
Right, Seiji?
Shut up, moron!
Who's a moron?
I'm sorry, I give up! I give up!
Huh?
It's been a long time, O-Rin.
We all came flying when we heard you wanted us to get together.
Eh?
Assholes!
You guys are too noisy. It bothers the neighbors!
I'm sorry.
We're sorry.
I haven't had a good O-Rin kick in a while.
Those people seem pretty happy for being yelled at...
That's the gang she put together back in high school.
They admire her like a bunch of fools.
We're gonna head out to live it up at a hot spring! Leave the bill to me!
Eh?
It's his treat.
What?
Slam, bam!
Wait!
Ah! Seiji!
You've got a long way to go!
To a hot spring all of a sudden. Did you have a fight with your boyfriend?
Mind your own business!
Be careful!
Eh? Why am I in a place like this?
And, it really stinks like sweat.
But the breeze feels nice.
It's nice to go to a restaurant together...
...but this way we both get to see a pretty sunset.
We even get to go to a hot spring.
It's kind of dreamlike.
This turned into a bit of a trip.
But it's all good.
No, it's not. It's not good at all!
Exchuse meee!
Could we get shome more ta drink?
Don't be stingy. Bring a whole liter or two!
It looks like nothing bad's going to happen...
...if she keeps getting smashed like this, though.
She looks a little on the strong side, but she seems to be a nice sister.
You don't get it at all.
She's an ogre who likes tormenting me better than getting three meals a day.
Number one, Shigeru Hirano.
Performing the one-man suplex!
That took guts, Shige!
All right, next!
Number two, Futoshi Sekiguchi! Bending the first knuckle joint!
My arm's cramped up!
That took guts, Futoshi!
All right, next!
That looks like a lot of fun.
Don't watch or you'll catch the stupidity!
Next!
Number four! Makoto Harada!
Watch my ear. It gets big all of a sudden.
See!
What the hell have you been doing all this time?
You think you can be first rate performers with crappy tricks like that?
Don't make me laugh!
What do performers have to do with it...
Now watch closely!
In order to make me laugh...
...you have to do something like this!
Th-They know...
What's this?
Are you a ventriloquist?
That's a pretty cute doll.
Eh?
Whoa! It's soft! Like the real thing.
Seiji, we have to put up with this.
Midori, but you...
Wha? It even has tits?
Does it have cute panties too?
That's enough.
I'm tellin' you to keep your damned hands off!
Seiji...
You can't talk to me like that, chump!
That hurt, jackass!
What the hell!
That'sh enough ta drink.
I'm sorry about yesterday.
No need!
D-Didn't I tell you not to look this way?
I'm sorry.
My sister's a bad drunk.
And she's hard to deal with because the next day she completely forgets...
...everything she did.
But, you and she seem to get along very well...
I'm an only child, so I'm envious.
You must be kidding, with that ogre!
Oh yeah, since we're here I'll wash your back.
H-Hey, I'm fine.
Just relax, please.
Maybe this is a little convenient...
Now a little higher up...
Oww!
That hurts, stupid! My arm's cramping!
I-I'm sorry...
Ah, now what do I do...
Wait! I have a good idea!
Whatever's on my back now feels softer than before...
The towel wrapped around me is full of suds, so I can act as a sponge.
Scrub, scrub, scrub...
Wha! What're you doing! Cut it out, dummy!
But I can wash myself too. It's two birds with one stone...
Don't get any funny ideas!
What have we here? Aren't you two getting along well!
Wow! You're so well-proportioned!
Music to my ears, Midori.
Cut the crap! Why're you here anyway?
Isn't this a mixed bath?
Why would it be?
Well, the body's the basis for good communication.
Whew, hot springs really are the best.
I agree.
But the fact that you're embarrassed to take a bath with me...
...means you've finally grown up.
You've got way too little delicacy.
Does that mean you bathed together a lot when you were little?
Sure, every night.
Wow.
He did his best to trick me hundreds of times...
...but I gave him the Inugami Clan penalty every time.
Ever since then he's been terrible with water, and he still can't swim.
What a joke!
It's not funny!
Um, um, what kind of child was Seiji?
Idiot, what're you asking...
When Seiji was a kid...
He may not look it, but he got bullied a lot back then.
Stop it!
Maybe it's because he played by himself a lot...
...but he used to be no good at fighting.
Vooom voom voom, crash crash, zoon zoon!
Gimme!
Whatever was done to Seiji, he wouldn't resist.
He'd just keep smiling and avoiding conflict with others.
Hey you punks!
Don't cry!
Ow!
If it bothers you, why don't you get mad?
Why don't you tell them not to?
That's why this is going to keep happening to you.
Listen.
If you really don't like it, that's when you fight.
You can't just keep running!
Sis...
Since that day...
I've beaten all the killer techinques I have into his body.
Why you...
Crash course after crash course.
...eighty-nine, ninety, nine...
That's all I...
Ninety-one, ninety-two, ninety-three, ninety-four, ninety-five!
I trained his body...
...and his mind!
You are the man with the demon right hand!
The mad dog who beats down everything!
Yes...
Those days sure saw their share of blood and sweat.
Then a week later, he went to a showdown with the bullies...
Today I'm going to give you something good.
This!
This demon right hand's sending you all to hell!
What's he talking about?
Get him!
In the end, with just a week's worth of heavy training...
...there was no way he'd beat four opponents.
We'll let you go for today!
But we'll remember this!
You know though, the way he kept fighting even when he wouldn't win...
...was kind of cool.
Anyway, Seiji hasn't been bullied again since then.
All that happened to him...
What's more, he got into it and kept training on his own.
At some point he got strong enough that people around him really were afraid.
Well, even now he looks like a wimpy puppy to me.
But even now that he's strong, bullying the weak is the one thing Seiji won't do.
That's the one thing about him I approve of.
So do you feel let down, Midori?
No...
I just keep loving him more and more!
What're you doin' over there?
Ahh! Seiji!
Ah, are you all right, Seiji?
I...
Where the hell'd that wench go?
If you mean your sister, she went home along with all her friends.
What?
An overnight stay for 12 adults, and fee for the repairs of 8 shoji screens...
...10 fusuma doors, 1 hanging scroll and TV, and tax...
...comes to this amount.
Can I do installments?
Are you sure about this, O-Rin?
We left Seiji behind, you know...
Leave the youngsters to themselves.
Huh?
Nevermind.
He's a pain, but take good care of Seiji, Midori...
Oh yeah, what did you talk to my sister about at the hot spring?
It's a secret.
Say what?
But I'm very happy to have once again found out about some part of you...
...I didn't know.
Hmph, suit yourself.
I don't want to know about that part!
Oh shut up!
It was rough having to hitch-hike home from the trip...
...but I was very happy today because I heard about when Seiji was young.
I keep feeling better and better about him...
Every day's a day of discovery...
I hope this happiness keeps going for a long time...
The figure otaku Takamizawa has found out our secret.
Midori Days, Days 4: Secret's Exposure!?
Seiji, what'll happen to us now?
