Hey, you're not actually staying at some guy's house, are you?
How many times have I told you? I'm staying at a friend's house.
Don't you go sneaking girls over just because I'm out,
and Mom and Dad are off traveling with the neighborhood association.
Doesn't Guri count as a girl?
Speaking of, I haven't seen Guri today.
Guess that means it's just me now.
What is it?
Did you forget something or—
I'm here! Hello there, Seiji-kun.
A-A-Akane-san?
Your family isn't around, right?
Huh?! How'd you know?!
I just had a hunch.
Huh?
And I thought you might be lonely here all by yourself,
so I'm here to stay the night!
Stay?! You can't do that!
What? Why not?
I'll even cook for you!
B-B-But a girl can't just stay over at a guy's house.
It'll be fine! We're lovers, after all!
Besides, you haven't forgotten, have you, Seiji-kun?
A-About what?
Aw, did you really forget? You promised me, didn't you?
Th-That's right!
I promised Akane-san that I'd kiss her!
Wait, we're doing it now?
I'm not ready for this!
Ah, that was a nice bath!
Why, if it isn't Akane-san!
What brings you here today?
G-Guri...
Love Tyrant
I'm Here to Stay the Night x I'm... Growing Up, Too
So, um, are you satisfied now?
Not even.
Come on, don't be mad, Akane-san!
We only live together.
There aren't a lot of lucky pervert moments like in rom-coms.
What do you mean, "not a lot"?!
I-It's not like she's even here every day!
She comes and goes as she pleases, like a stray cat—
Lovers' spat! Lovers' spat!
Knock it off!
Wh-Who could that be?
I'm staying the night, as well!
Yuzu-chan?
So this is a boy's room...
It's nothing special, but please make yourself at home.
Hmm? There seem to be some books under the bed.
Oh, those are my treasured doujinshi. You wanna see?
Don't be misleading!
I especially recommend this one!
It's All Good! Shota 1
Oh, my!
Anyway...
Are you two really planning to stay here tonight?
Of course!
I'm not about to let Onee-sama and Seiji-san be
a-alone together under one roof!
Um, I'm here too, y'know...
Absolutely not!
Is there a problem?
Rumble
Is there a reason it's okay for her to stay, but not me?
No, there's no problem at all.
Again? Who is it now?
Now, you can't lock me out.
I can easily pick this lock open.
Don't pick it!
Anyway, it's so mean to leave me out!
Right, Akane-tan?
Leave.
So cold!
I want to join your sleepover, too!
Leave.
I want to have fun with everyone!
Leave.
Hmm, then I guess I'll just have to tell your mothers
about this sleepover, then, won't I?
Y-You mustn't do that!
See? Thanks for having me.
What's going to come of this?
Rainbow Shopping District
I love you, croquettes!
Come on, Guri, we're going.
Excu—Please let me through!
Yuzu-chan!
Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Shikimi-san?!
What are you—
Are you sure you don't mind making dinner?
No problem. I'll be using your kitchen.
Onee-sama, I will assist you!
That's fine, but can you even cook?
I'll do my best!
Guri-chan, let's play a game.
Sure, what should we play?
It kind of feels like summer camp or something.
My finger! And the onions are making my eyes water!
Are you okay, Yuzu-chan?
Cooking is very dangerous.
Onee-sama is amazing.
Here, let me see your finger.
Our wounds might immediately disappear, but just in case.
There you go.
Wow, you're amazing, Akane-san. It looks delicious.
Onee-sama made this with her own hands!
For Shikimi
Plonk
For Guri
My, Akane-tan, you're so spiteful.
It looks like rabbit food.
Now, Seiji-kun, eat up.
Well, I'll be eating Seiji-san's portion, anyway.
Delicious!
Onee-sama's...
I'll help myself to Yuzu-chin's portion!
After Akane-san went through all that trouble! Spit it out!
How could you do such a thing?!
Damn you!
Little monkey! Shikimi!
Akane-tan is scary!
I'll have one more.
This day has been utterly exhausting.
Guri?!
Jeez! When you think of a bath scene, you usually expect to see a girl's bare skin.
You're disappointing, Seiji-san.
Why are you blaming me?!
Lookie, lookie, lookie, lookie...
Why are you filming, anyway?! Get out of here!
Otherwise...
Seiji-kun!
See, she's here.
I heard you screaming. What's wro—
I-I'm sorry!
Give me a break.
Seriously.
I can never be a groom now.
I'll still take you, so don't worry.
Thank you for the bath.
R-Right, you're welcome.
She's just out of the bath!
I'm going to take a bath in Onee-sama's used bath water!
Yuzu-chan...
Is she mad?
Did I do something again?
Long time no see.
Huh?
It's rare for Blue to be so friendly with someone she's just met.
You remembered me, at least, huh?
That's right!
Akane-san came here today because of the promise.
Gosh, and I worked so hard
to get along with that awful little monkey in front of everyone!
Um, well...
I guess it's fine.
I wouldn't be happy if you forced yourself to do it, anyway.
Akane-san?
Besides, it doesn't have to be right now. We have plenty of time.
So maybe someday—
I-I'm the one who made the promise.
Ah, no, that's not it.
That is... I felt like I wanted to do it.
I'm so happy. Thank you.
I really love that side of you, Seiji-kun!
Goodness...
What do you think of that, Guri-chan?
Think of what?
Don't you feel anything after seeing that romantic moment?
I do.
I am a cupid, after all.
Seeing loving couples together makes me happy, and I enjoy it.
Enjoy it, huh?
Onee-sama's used bath water!
Well, I'll be sleeping in the living room, so call me if you need anything.
And all of you, try to get along, okay?
Okay!
Right, we'll be fine!
D-Don't even think about attacking us in our sleep!
I won't.
Well, goodnight.
Oh, no! I'm all tied up!
I'm not letting you set one foot out of this room.
I've been a good girl the whole day, so have some faith in me, okay?
I'm sleeping in the same room as Onee-sama!
I'll be sleeping next to Onee-sama!
I've never once, in my entire life, had faith in you.
So mean!
Yuzu-san fell asleep fast!
I might actually end this day in one piece.
I'm worried about how they're doing, but...
Well, I guess I can just run in there if I hear anything.
Darn it, Blue, I'm always telling you not to step on my face.
Seiji-kyun...
Onee-sama...
I prefer to sleep in the nude.
Eh... wai... eh... um...
Ah, good morning, Seiji-kun.
How did I get here?!
H-How did this happen?
Well, you see, Akane-tan started fighting me when I tried to sneak up on you last night.
Yuzu-chin just came along in her sleep, and Guri-chan was suddenly just there.
I'm back a little early, but not because I'm worried—
Th-This isn't what it looks like, Akua!
Aw, so cute!
You two really get along.
I'm telling you, it's a misunderstanding.
They all just snuck in where I was sleeping!
Weather Forecast
Make all the excuses you want.
You still let the girls stay over and sleep with you.
You're the worst.
Worst
Akua! I'm begging you, just listen to what I'm telling you!
Don't touch me!
You've changed, you know.
Akua, that's not how you use the remote.
How long are you going to follow me?
About your interaction earlier...
That was basically you just wanting Seiji-san's attention, right?
Huh?
You said Seiji-san had changed.
Does that mean he doesn't give you as much attention as he used to?
That's it, isn't it?
Huh? N-No, it's not!
Y'know, I've thought for a while that you're really
acting like the mopey little sister character whose brother
got taken away by his girlfriend.
Listen...
No, I completely understand!
I love little sister/big brother stories!
What are you talking about?
Anyway, let's work on making you more honest, like you used to be!
Huh?
Boom Boom Boom
You know, I don't really like places like this.
Oh, neither do I.
Then why are we here?
Well, for you, obviously!
You're going to wear cute, girly clothes, like when you were little,
and be frank about fawning over Seiji-san.
I don't get your logic!
Can I help you find something, miss?
Something really cute with frills, please!
Hey!
Then how about this one?
I-I don't need it.
Look, it's very lovely.
I'm not wearing it!
Can I help you find something?
Got anything that looks good on a stocky boy who wants to dress like a girl?
Don't just leave me here!
Delicious!
These crêpes are so good!
I can see why these were so highly rated on the food blog.
Don't tell me she came here just for that...
Do you want any, Akua-san?
I-I'm fine!
Akua-san, are you resisting cute clothes and sweet things on purpose?
I'm not!

What's with you imagining your own ideas about me?
I'm not imagining them.
I also know that you don't hate Seiji-san.
Gosh, you're so insincere.
I'm telling you, that's getting annoying!
If Seiji-san hadn't stopped me, you'd be part of his harem, too.
Hey...
Do you actually like my brother yourself?
Somehow, compared to the others, it doesn't really seem like you do.
I've been getting told that a lot lately. What does it mean?
Whoa, too close!
I-I don't know.
I just feel that way!
Just feel that way?
You're always messing around, so it made me wonder if you really liked him!
Hmm.
But if others are telling you that too,
then doesn't that mean you're missing something?
Where are you going?
We're done, right? I'm going home.
Are you resisting cute clothes and sweet things on purpose?
That's not exactly it.
No! It's not because of him, either!
Girly things just don't suit me!
Run!
Wh-What's going on?
I've found you,
Akua!
Is what his eyes say
It's the penguin that Akane-san blew away at the beach!
Animals can read people's minds, you know!
Just make him think, "Ah, I can trust this girl," and you'll be fine—
Hey, you!
I'm alive.
Akua!
After my shameful defeat,
I spent all my time in the harsh wilds, enduring natural selection.
Now!
Time to become one with me, Akua!
Is what his eyes say
I won't let you escape!
Is what his eyes say
Brother... No!
Then it'll just end up like last time!
I have to do something myself!
Akua!
But I'm scared!
My, is that you, Akua-san?
Your face looks pale. Are you feeling ill?
No!
Hey, you!
Don't you dare touch Akua!
Hey! What on earth was that?
This is a borrowed body, and it's very important!
He's ignoring me?
Akua, my lovely Akua...
Now, we can finally be...
Is what his eyes say
Stop it!
I have no idea what's going on, but Akua-san clearly doesn't like that!
Are you trying to get in my way?
Is what his eyes say
You pathetic cat...
You intend to hinder our love?
Is what his eyes say
It looks like I'll have to
take my real form in front of you, Akua-san!
Wh-What the heck are you?!
I am an angel.
Angel?
I will punish you in the name of God!
It doesn't matter what you are.
I will kill those who stand in the way of our love!
Is what his eyes say
N-No way...
My punch didn't connect?
I can't move...
Is what his eyes say
I have cleansed your wicked heart.
Cast aside your desires and return to being a normal penguin!
It's all right now, Akua-san.
It can't end like this!
I will marry Akua for life!
Wh-What?!
Wh-What a powerful wicked heart!
He's like a high-level demon.
I will mate with Akua!
Is what his eyes say
Akua-san! Please, you must escape!
He's far too dangerous!
But what about you?
I'll be fine.
Protecting the innocent is an angel's duty.
Die!
Why, Akua?
I thought we loved each other, Akua!
Knock it off! You make me sick, you perverted bird!
My, that was splendid.
I meant to save you, but you saved me instead.
...time...
Akua-san?
That's the first time I've beaten him.
You've grown, Akua-san.
Grown?
Yes.
You've conquered your own weakness.
I'm so happy for you.
You were able to change in the right direction.
Akua!
Brother...
Why are you here?
Guri called and said Stolas showed up!
Are you hurt? Did he do anything?!
Shut up!
I beat him, so everything's fine.
You beat him?
That's right, Aino-san!
You look scary!
Akua-san faced her weakness on her own.
I see...
That's amazing, Akua.
What? Are you mocking me?
No, I really think you're amazing!
I've always been by your side,
so I know just much Stolas scared you.
That's why I'm so surprised.
He really hasn't changed.
I thought we'd grown distant since he got a girlfriend,
but he'll always be my brother.
Are you really okay, Akua?
I'm growing up, too.
I see. I'm really glad for you.
Oh, there they are!
And Seiji-san is here, too!
Doesn't that mean you're missing something?
I'm missing something?
Guri-chan!
Hey! You're here, too? What a coincidence.
Shikimi-san?
My, what's the matter?
You seem kind of down.
You can talk to me, if you'd like.
That's strange. Guri hasn't shown up yet.
