Previously on Hensuki .
My relentless search for the lost Cinderella panties revealed that
neither Sayuki- senpai nor Yuika- chan were the culprit.
I was about to give up when a single photo gave me a ray of hope.
This time, for sure I will determine who Cinderella really is!
I wonder if you can pull this off like a real investigator?
"Hensuki: Are you willing to fall in love with a pervert, as long as she's a cutie?"
Thank you all for waiting.
"Cinderella took off her swimwear?!"
What is this gathering?
We're all going to the pool together.
What?
The free ticket is valid for up to five people, so I thought I should include you.
But I didn't bring a swimsuit.
Don't worry. I've selected a new swimsuit for you, based on my tastes.
It's a bit scary how well you've prepared for this...
But what about the sizes and stuff?
They don't call me The Boob Sommelier for nothing.
Brother...
Impressive.
You're always so supportive of me.
Consider this a present, a token of my gratitude.
Well, okay. If you say so. Thank you.
Womanizer...
That photo helped me pretty much conclusively identify who Cinderella is.
Today, during this swimming trip, I will reveal her for certain!
Thanks for waiting, Keiki- kun .
So, Sayuki- senpai , you're up first.
It's normal! It's Sayuki- senpai , but she's wearing a normal swimsuit!
I've done my research. I know you prefer simple and tidy designs.
I guess the swimsuit is quite simple and tidy,
but thanks to your massive breasts, there's no way to avoid looking very sexy...
Sorry to make you wait.
What do you think?
Yep, looks good.
Oh.
By the way, why do you have a sketchbook?
This is the best opportunity to sketch out some naked guys.
Oh. Right.
Keiki- senpai , sorry for the wait.
Oh... So cute, you're like an angel wearing a swimsuit.
Does that make you want to become my slave?
That's a no...
Brother...
Mizuha is last.
What do you think...?
What do I think...?
Nothing... Just perfection.
Mizuha- senpai , I never noticed you were so curvy under your clothes.
Pretty impressive, huh? All natural.
Why are you acting so proud?
I hate it when you say weird things.
I'm sorry! Please don't hate me!
Anyway... Since we're at the pool, let's swim.
Keiki- senpai ! Go on the slide with me!
No! Keiki- kun is going to the wave pool with me.
Can we let go of me before we continue this debate? My self-control is at risk.
Brother, you're so popular with girls.
That's not what this is!
I guess this means we have to battle over the right to play with Keiki- kun .
Sounds good. How should we do this?
Wait, don't I get a say in this...?
This!
Winner, Yuika Koga!
Another one bites the dust...
Now Keiki- senpai is mine!
Again, don't I get a say in this?
Okay, I won't bother the happy couple.
Senpai!
Hey, Mizuha!
Why sit there?
Keiki- senpai ...
To tell you the truth, I'm scared of water slides!
I slid down one alone when I was younger, and I was traumatized!
Then why did you get on?!
I thought I'd grown up and could handle it now!
Breasts! Soft breasts!
Looks like I've made a comeback...
Of what...?
That was huge.
It's not a laughing matter...
Sayuki- senpai ! Your breasts! Breasts!
So how's the shoujo manga draft coming along?
Well... Let's just say I'm hard at work.
Hey, if you help me with my research again, it might move things along.
Sure, I don't mind helping.
Really? Nice!
Are you okay?
Oh... Um... Thanks.
Here. I don't want you to trip anymore.
You really are a tricky one.
Huh...?
Finally free.
So where did Mizuha go to...
"This way to the warm water pool"
I thought you'd be here.
I was trying to look for you, but the rest of the Shodo Club wouldn't let me go--
What is this, Mizuha?!
I thought the best use for this was for when you came along.
Why aim at your poor brother?!
It's your fault for leaving your cute sister alone while you play with other girls.
Can I hold you in my arms for a bit?
No.
But if you play with me, you shall be forgiven.
Of course.
Mizuha?!
Are you okay?
I think I got a leg cramp...
Can you wait a little?
I can't leave you alone!
What...?! Wow, brother, impressive.
It's easy. You're light.
Good. If you said I was heavy, I would have had to eat only salad for dinner.
This type of thing has happened before, hasn't it?
I totally forgot.
We were very young.
We used to be around the same size, but now you're so much bigger.
You've gotten bigger, too, in certain parts. Like your breasts and hips.
You pervert.
Hey, brother. You should know...
Hmm?
I'm okay with you liking boys!
Huh?
Earlier today, I read the manga that Mao- chan wrote.
How did you get that?!
Tokihara- senpai gave me a copy, as thanks for my advice on swimwear.
Sayuki- senpai ?!
I've never seen anything like that before, but it was, how shall I put it...
A whole, sensational new world.
Come back! The gates to that new world must remain shut!
I don't have any prejudices against you liking boys!
That is a work of pure fiction!
Event, event...
Come and enjoy the special event...
Is that...?
Special event, coming right up...
This is troublesome.
Huh? Koharu- senpai ?
Kiryu- kun !
Kiryu- kun ! Please help me!
"Koharu"
This is Koharu Otori, from our school.
I'm doing a part-time job recruiting people to take part in a special event.
Sure, I can join in.
Unfortunately, this event is titled...
"Cute girls assemble! Moe-rific love confession competition!"
Participants compete over who can make the most heart-throbbing love confession.
If you insist...
Every girl here will participate!
What?!
The winner gets the right to give one command to Keiki- kun , which he must obey.
How does that sound?
Again, why do I not get a say in this...?
"Cute girls assemble! Moe-rific love confession competition!"
Here it is! "Cute girls assemble! Moe-rific love confession competition!"
Presented by me, Koharu Otori!
The competition will be judged by all of you in the audience!
Our machinery will measure your cheers. The girl with the highest score wins!
And the glorious first-place prize is, behold!
"Glorious first-place prize"
That sucks!
Let's begin! Our first contestant!
My name is Sayuki Tokihara.
I'm a third-year high school student and head of the Shodo Club.
Tokihara- san , who is your love confession addressed to?
A kohai in my club.
He is one year younger than me, and very cute.
He reacts so naively when I toy with him, but I love how kind he is to me.
Don't say "love"... I'll get the wrong idea again.
Well, here it comes, confession time!
If you accept my feelings, I will give you my everything!
Or, to translate, "Please become my master."
Ninety-two points! This is impressive!
A score in the 90s from the very first contestant!
I must congratulate her obvious appeal to the male audience's libido!
Is it just me, or does she have something against me...?
On to the next contestant, number two!
I'm not for show...
Koga- san , you're a student librarian, right?
Huh? How do you know?
Miss Otori knows all.
But anyway, you're very petite and cute...
I must make sure she stays away from Shoma- kun ...
Huh?
Ahem. Koga- san , who's on your mind?
Um... He's a senpai in the same school group as me...
He takes good care of me, and teaches me the routines very patiently.
But he's always surrounded by attractive girls,
and it's very annoying to watch him stare at them.
That's why I have a message for you today, Senpai!
I won't forgive you if you wag your tail at some other girl!
Not bad...?
Wow! 95!
Looks like the aggressive stance contrasting with her cute looks
resulted in a strong message!
I win again, right? Witch- senpai ?
You don't know that. Perhaps at the end, a miracle happens to boost my score.
I don't think this competition has such a complex game-show type bonus setup...
Let's move on! Contestant three!
Oh, hi. I'm Mao Nanjo.
Miss Nanjo, you're quite an artist, correct?
How do you know that?
So, who's on your mind today?
Well, he's a classmate and close friend, but...
I don't know, he's, like, fun to be around, I guess?
But he's not just a friend,
he's more like someone precious in my life...
Dammit!
Just know, the only one I see is you! Remember that!
In her case, "see" means use as reference for her BL manga...
Old-school tsundere strikes! A 98! This is tied with the highest recorded score!
They've done this event more than once...?
And now, for our last contestant!
Number four!
Hello, I'm Mizuha Kiryu.
Miss Kiryu, I hear you're great at all forms of housework.
Who's on your mind today?
Well, I have an older brother.
He takes good care of me,
but sometimes his love goes a bit too far.
But he always loves my cooking,
and keeps me company in bed after I see a scary movie...
He's very kind like that, in small ways, which I love.
So, brother, I really...
I really love you!
You know?
One hundred twenty?!
A new record, breaking the limits of the measurement device!
Wow, I'm pretty good, huh?
We have a winner: Miss Mizuha Kiryu!
That was just love between family members...
As a prize, she will take home this single bottle of dishwashing liquid!
Brother.
Mizuha...
The bus isn't coming for a little while longer.
I see.
The pool was fun.
Yeah. I didn't think you would win the competition, though.
How was my love confession?
Well, I was flattered, of course.
I will be using that absolute order prize sometime soon.
Please be gentle with me.
Don't you have to go with the others?
No. Right now, I want to talk to you.
Hmm? Brother?
Mizuha, Sorry. I'm going to apologize beforehand.
Huh?
I knew it.
Mizuha...
You were the one that sent the love letter.
You got me.
It's all thanks to the friends who've supported me.
Think about this from Cinderella's perspective.
She took the Cinderella panties from your room.
Naturally, the next thing she needs to think about is where to keep them.
Yes, where would be the best place to hide them?
Her own room should be pretty safe...
Cinderella is the one who's actively taking the panties out of the room.
She knows more than anyone that hiding things in a room isn't 100% safe.
Then where?
Simple.
Just carry them with her at all times.
A pair of panties is small and light.
Having it in her bag shouldn't be a problem.
So I came up with a plan to go to the pool on a school day,
but not tell Mizuha until right before we leave.
The surprise swimsuit present was also part of the plan.
All to make you wear the Cinderella panties...
After swimming in the pool, naturally you would need to change back to your uniform.
Since you didn't know about the trip, you wouldn't have an extra pair of underwear.
Except, of course, the Cinderella panties you were hiding in your bag!
You faced a choice.
Wear your original panties again, or wear the clean Cinderella panties.
I knew how you like things clean, so you would pick the Cinderella panties.
How did you know it was me?
This photo.
This was taken on the day I found the love letter in the club room.
Timestamped at 5:50PM.
We finished cleaning the room a bit after 5PM that day.
Mizuha, you left early. Why would you still be at school at that time...?
There is only one logical answer.
"Shodo Club"
Explode!
After we finished cleaning, it wasn't Sayuki- senpai who left the room last.
You put the letter on the desk, hid in the locker...
I want a girlfriend...
Yes!
...then unlocked the door that I locked before leaving the room.
It was you, Mizuha.
No wonder I couldn't figure out who Cinderella was.
I removed you from the suspect list at the start.
It's like a math problem.
If I can't find the answer, I need to revisit the assumptions.
Everything you've said is correct.
I left that love letter there, hoping my feelings would reach you.
At the same time, I was scared. Scared of telling you my true feelings.
I was afraid it would end the great relationship we have as siblings now.
Is that why you didn't write your name?
I don't know about that.
Maybe I wanted you to chase me down.
By not making it clear who sent it,
maybe I wanted the boy I love to concentrate on only me.
So, brother?
I am in love with you.
How you're so kind to me, how you spoil me,
how you're such a hard worker at everything, how you're a bit awkward.
Everything. I love everything about you.
Brother...
Mizuha, I'm flattered. But we're...
Is it wrong to have romantic feelings since we're brother and sister?
Yes. I think it's wrong.
It's not wrong.
Mizuha...?
Brother, you know we're the same age, right?
Huh? Yeah.
When is your birthday?
October 11th.
Yes. And I was born on March 3rd.
Strange, isn't it? We're only five months apart.
Doesn't that just mean mom and dad tried super hard?
There's a limit to how hard a person can try with these things.
But... Huh? Wait... What does that...?
Brother, I'm going to apologize beforehand, too.
Huh?
There's nothing wrong about this.
There's nothing wrong about my feelings towards you.
Because...
...we aren't really brother and sister.
"To be continued"
The glass slippers would probably
Shatter, if they're too tight
But I still can't stop pursuing that story
Weird tastes can be quite poetic, don't you think?
Lolita, Marquis de Sade, forbidden love
Heart-throbbing romance
From the bottom of my heart I yearn
(Please? Come on, more) This pure-white emotion I fold
No two flowers are the same
Can you fall in love with me?
I can't hide this
The person that I really am
Watch, as I open up to you alone
Mr. Keiki Kiryu, I love you.
Final episode, "Can you fall in love with a pervert, as long as she's a cutie?"
