Whoa...
--Keiki- kun ... --Yeah...
Keiki- senpai ...
--Uh-huh... --Kiryu...
--Brother! --Whaaat?!
Good morning, brother.
What are you doing in my bed, Mizuha?!
Phew, I was afraid today was the day your sororal love goes berserk.
Here are today's horoscopes!
"Cinderella Dropped Her Panties?!"
Number one is Pisces! Today is the best day
for making your wishes come true.
You really need to stop sleep-walking into your brother's bed
Don't be afraid, go for it! But make sure you manage your time wisely!
Hey, look! My romance luck is great today!
And for you, brother...
Unfortunately, Libras might have a terrible day today.
Oh, no.
A sudden request for a favor may throw you off-balance. A person with a--
I really want a girlfriend.
By applying these grammar rules, the passage becomes easier to read.
"Sayuki: Come to the Shodo Club room after school today."
Sayuki- senpai ...?
So in this case...
Hey, Keiki- kun ...
Yes...?
We don't put much thought into this "high school period" of our lives,
but it could be a precious experience we can never return to.
Yes...
Why then, do we waste this precious thing away,
on silly errands, like cleaning the club room?!
Because you trashed it, Senpai...
"Fortune is unpredictable"
"What goes around comes around"
Well then...
If society must clean to survive, it should just die off!
It's Witch- senpai 's fault that cleaning is such hard work.
It's none of your business, Koga- san . You're not part of the club.
Sayuki- senpai ?!
No!
I can't stand idly by while Keiki- senpai suffers under the oppression of an evil witch!
Yuika- chan ?!
Can we just get this over with and go home?
Nanjo?!
What a bother... Why me...
Seriously, when does this end?
"Prosperity and Decline"
Don't worry, I brought powerful help...
Excuse me...
Wow... This is worse than I thought.
Brother! Brother!
"Penniless and Empty-Handed"
I can't wait to get started!
Good, I got her passion for cleaning to kick in.
Let's finish this up quickly then!
"Shodo Club"
Wow...
"Realization of Great Ambition"
That was an ordeal.
As if you had nothing to do with it...
Good work, brother.
Thanks for helping, Mizuha.
There it is! The unhealthy sister-love!
It's natural for a brother to pamper his little sister.
I'd like to take a bath quickly...
Me, too.
What's wrong?
No, I was just enjoying this.
Working hard with everyone, getting ink all over ourselves...
Isn't this a precious moment of youth?
Maybe you're right.
I'll tidy up.
I can handle that.
Senpai, you have bags under your eyes.
N-No I don't!
Why tell such an obvious lie?
I'd guess you were finishing up the submission for the contest without sleep.
Fine...
Make sure you lock up.
Understood.
All right, go home everyone!
Should I wait for you?
Don't worry, I'm sure you want to shower, too.
Hmm... I guess so.
I'll be on my way then.
Later.
Thank you, brother.
Yeah, see you all later.
Good work at the student council.
Seriously?!
So then she got really mad, and...
Happy couples...
I hope you explode!
I really want a girlfriend...
Hmm?
"Dear Mr. Keiki Kiryu"
For me...?
This... Could this be?!
"I love you"
Let's go!
A love letter...?
Yes...
Yes!
Seriously?! Finally, love enters my life?!
Is it finally time to put an end to my joyless single life?!
Yes!
But...
Who did... Hmm?
What's this?
P-Panties?!
Hey, Shoma.
What's your interpretation of the panties?
Hmm...
Perhaps the sender was in a hurry, and dropped them.
What kind of hurry do you have to be in to drop your underwear?
First of all, why did the sender not write her name on the letter?
Do you think it could be a prank?
I don't know.
Sounds a bit immature for someone our age.
I guess so.
So maybe she just forgot?
Quite a clumsy Cinderella.
Cinderella?
We have to call her something.
This one dropped her underwear, instead of her shoe.
That's a terrible name!
Good luck on your search, prince.
Thanks for the strong support.
But then, I guess...
Since the letter was in your club room, that narrows down the suspect list.
Oh...
Yes. Your Cinderella is part of the cleaning crew!
Seriously?!
Maybe.
Just kidding. I'm positive.
Really...?
Beautiful and busty senpai , Sayuki Tokihara.
Cute and honest kohai , Yuika Koga.
Friendly and approachable classmate, Mao Nanjo.
Caring younger sister, Mizuha Kiryu.
Is out of the picture, so...
One of these three is Cinderella...!
Oh... Royal Straight Flush...
Nobody got inside the club room after you locked the doors yesterday.
"Shodo Club"
Maybe you should go look for clues there.
Good morning, Keiki- kun .
Thanks for coming to return the key.
Right... If Sayuki- senpai is Cinderella, this key should be of concern for her...
Thank you.
Maybe I can get her to react...
Oh?
Keiki- kun , you have bags under your eyes.
Huh? Umm... No I don't...
Why tell such an obvious lie?
Well, um... I couldn't sleep last night...
Do you want to take a nap in the club room?
Huh...?
N-No thank you, I have class.
Aww, too bad.
I wanted to join you.
Huh?
Thanks for helping yesterday, Yuika- chan ! Truly appreciated.
Keiki- senpai is an important part of the student library.
I'm glad to be of service to you.
Well, maybe I'll ask again sometime?
Sure thing.
If Yuika- chan is Cinderella, would she be able to chat so naturally?
Hey, Keiki- senpai ?
Do you like big boobs?
What?!
Shh! Not so loud!
I thought you joined the Shodo Club because of Witch- senpai 's magical breasts.
Definitely not!
Why do you have so much trouble getting along with Sayuki- senpai ?
Big breasts are the bane of existence for all flat-chested girls.
Witch- senpai is so pretty and charming, the big breasts are taking it too far.
I must wholeheartedly agree.
I knew it! You love big boobs.
Wait! I take it back!
I don't care anymore.
What? What did you do?!
Did you know this, Senpai?
Girls don't do mean things to boys they're not interested in.
What does that mean?
--Hey, wait! Yuika- chan ! --Quiet in the library!
So? Any progress?
They were both acting really normal.
I wouldn't be surprised if either of them were Cinderella.
You're always so popular with girls.
Not like I enjoy it.
I envy you. Girls have no reason to like me.
You know, Keiki.
Why are you so kind to Tokihara- senpai and Koga- san ?
It's obvious.
You see a girl in trouble, you save her.
There it is.
Girls definitely have reasons to like you.
Like me?
Hmm? Nanjo...?
Was she looking at Shoma?
Keiki!
Huh?
What the--?!
Morning, sleepyhead. School's out already.
Oh... I...
I've never seen someone try to catch a ball with his face.
Did you stay for me...?
Sort of. I was just bored.
You're a kind-hearted person.
What's your problem anyway? You've been spaced out all day.
That's, um...
Do you have a fever or something?
Kiryu, were you looking at someone you're interested in?
Nanjo, if I was interested in someone, would you support me?
No, not really.
I can't honestly say I would support you.
Huh?
Never mind.
Could Nanjo be Cinderella?
Oh, hello, Keiki- kun .
Your name sounds delicious as always.
My name is Keiki, not Cake.
Is that your dog, Senpai?
I named him Vegetarian.
He seems very carnivorous...
Hey, Vegetarian.
Where is your owner?
I'm stumped, Keiki- kun . I don't think he speaks Japanese.
If he did, that would be a whole new incident...
I'm sorry!
Thank you for taking care of my dog!
Say thank you, honey!
You can't go running off like that!
I envy that.
Senpai, you must really like dogs.
No, that's not what I meant.
Keiki- kun , I would like for you to caress my head.
Huh? What do you mean?
I worked so hard on that contest submission.
Uh-huh?
I saw you do it to your sister yesterday.
Can you do that for me, too?
I, uh, it would be my pleasure to provide you the service of caressing!
Um... How is this...?
Oh, yes. I don't really understand, but it's quite satisfactory.
Keiki- kun ...
A little reward for always being so kind.
I seriously have no idea...
Welcome home, brother.
I found some good mackerel today. Dinner is miso-boiled mackerel.
Oh, sounds nice.
Hey, Mizuha...
Do you know who left the club room last yesterday, after the cleaning?
The last person...?
I think it was Tokihara- senpai .
I... see...
I was gone for around ten minutes.
If the person who left the letter and panties during that time
is really Sayuki- senpai ...
...I have to ask her properly.
"Shodo Club"
Did you write this, Sayuki- senpai ?!
I can't answer that.
Then what about this?! Are these your panties?!
Why don't you try them on, right here right now, Sayuki- senpai ?!
Help! Pervert!
I just ended my own life!
Isn't there a more natural way to ask her? Like ask her out...?
Keiki- kun , do you want to go out with me?
What?! Sayuki- senpai ?!
Sure.
Huh...?
Mmm, delicious!
Nothing beats parfait paid for by an underclassman.
This is such a shakedown.
I do enjoy going on this date with you.
This isn't fair...
Keiki- kun , I...
I'm really grateful for everything you've done.
If it wasn't for you, Shodo Club would have had to disband.
Yes, it was on the verge of collapse, last year...
"Join us, young blood! New club members wanted for the Shodo Club"
"Shodo Club"
I was really happy that day.
Don't you regret joining Shodo Club?
Huh?
I mean, you're not interested in Shodo.
You don't have to show up at all.
I...
I'm glad I joined.
I mean, when I'm with you, I always end up having fun.
I really respect you as my senpai .
Ah...
Sayuki- senpai .
Are you hiding something from me?
Like, um... maybe you have some special emotions towards me...?
Um... Sayuki- senpai ?
Hey, wait--
Could she really be Cinderella...?
Good morning, Keiki.
Good morning, Shoma.
Hey, Sayuki- senpai ...?
Senpai!
Sayuki- senpai ...
Sayuki...
Is it about Tokihara- senpai ?
Well, sort of...
Hmm.
--Wall slam! --Whoa!
This might be effective. If you want to stop a girl from getting away.
Wall slam?
How do girls feel about that, anyway?
If it's someone the girl is interested in, it could be pretty exciting, romantically.
Oh...
What?
It seemed out of character for you to discuss romance.
Ow! Stop pinching me silently! Ouch!
That's for your rude attitude.
Stop!
I guess you're okay, if you have so much energy.
Nanjo...
Go ahead and get back on good terms with your senpai .
Sayuki- senpai !
Wait, Senpai! Please wait!
And now, wall slam!
This is actually a lot more violent than I imagined...
I'm going to scream for help.
You can go ahead, if you dislike me.
This isn't fair, Keiki- kun .
I'm serious today.
What do you want?
I...
I know your secret, Sayuki- senpai !
Wh--
If she denies, she wins... I'd have no choice but to back off.
Since when?
Just recently. I wasn't certain, but I grew suspicious from your attitude.
I see...
So, now that you know my secret...
...do you dislike me?
Dislike you? Of course not!
Huh...?
Sure, I was surprised when I found out.
But I didn't think that was a bad thing at all.
In fact... I'm really glad.
Really...?
Yes, really.
Tomorrow...
Come to the club room after school.
Huh?
I have something important to discuss.
Brother, the bath is ready.
Oh, okay.
Follow the student council's instructions.
"Shodo Club"
Keiki- kun ...
Keiki- kun ,
I've had a feeling about you.
That you could be the one.
Someone who would accept me for who I really am...
Sayuki- senpai ...
Please, close your eyes...
I'm ready.
Huh...?
W-Wait, Sayuki- senpai ?!
What-- What on earth are you doing?!
"Sayuki"
A collar?!
Please...
Please make me your pet, Keiki- kun !
Huh?
"To be continued"
You're strange, Kiryu- senpai .
Shoma, have you ever fantasized about making a girl your pet?
If Koga- san is Cinderella...
Go on a date with me!
You forgot to lock the room.
I will give you something precious.
Next Hensuki episode, "Indecisive Prince?!"
Are you willing to fall in love, as long as she's a cutie?
