I understand, Lady Saki.
Yes...
I’ll take care of things on this end.
Enjoy your time with your father.
It looks like it’s going to be a hot day.
To Love Ru Darkness
Rito... It’s morning already.
My tail isn’t ice cream...
You can’t... don’t that...
...until you do it at your own will...
So you took up the initiative today.
But next time...
Next time what?
It’s too late to hide now!
To think she would show up this early in the morning, Mikan’s instinct must’ve gotten sharper.
I can’t believe Momo... Just when I thought she’s been controlling herself better lately.
I thought I told him that I wasn’t interested in dating him.
I wonder if Momo likes Rito...
Otherwise she wouldn’t go get in his bed every night, would she?
I used to think she was just joking around...
But if she’s been doing that with certain intentions...
...and if Rito buys into it?
Wh-What should I do...?
W-Wait. Why am I even worried about stuff like that anyway?
Even if that ends up making things awkward between them and Rito that’s Rito’s problem!
I wonder what it is... I didn’t let stuff like this bother me before...
Since when did I become such a worrying person?
Is it because of Momo?
Why does Momo bother me so much?
Y-Yuki’s been staring at me! Is something wrong with my lecture?!
I’ll become a great pop star and win your heart, too, Rito!
I need to watch out for her even more now.
Yuuki is already infamous to begin with.
I need to make sure he won’t do anything to disturb the order at school.
Why am I so worried about him anyway?
It’s not easy to be a discipline committee member.
Big Brother and Mom, why are you guys crying?
Oh, Yui... This drama is so sad...
The first love is the special love for everyone, I guess.
You need to take care of Yuuki, too.
What does Yuuki have to do with anything?
See you later!
See you later, Mikan!
Bye!
So hot...
Goodness... They all have something to say about Yuuki, but I have nothing to do with him!
It’s best to let these kitties make me feel better at a time like this.
Kotegawa?
S-Sairenji?
What are you doing here?
Oh, I’m just killing some time...
I can never bring myself to tell her that adoring
these cats by just looking at them has been my thing lately...
If you have some time why don’t we hang out together?
What?
I’ve already got that and what else...
Oh yeah! A toothbrush for Rito.
Now that I think about it, yesterday...
Rito, your toothbrush looked old, so I’ve got you a new one.
Oh, thank you!
I’m impressed that you even noticed it.
Because I’m always paying attention!
Why am I being annoyed? It’s a good thing that you notice small things, right?
I’ll help you cook dinner.
It tastes good!
My cooking can’t be even compared to Mikan’s though.
Now that I think about it Momo started to help around the house more often
about the time she transferred to Sainan High School...
Because she knows what Rito likes and the stuff he uses.
So thanks to that my work load got much lighter, but...
Now it feels like there’s no place for me...
Oh, I get it...
That’s why I’m always uptight and worried...
Oh? What is it? The scenery is...
What?
No...
I’ve got a new game and it looks pretty good. When I get home I’ll...
Oh? Is that Mikan?
Are you okay?
Oh? If I remember correctly this is...
It looks like the heat has gotten to you.
You should take a rest and cool down.
My place is close by.
Welcome!
We’ve got “Meow-Meow Campaign” in progress right now, meow!
We’re here, Mio!
Meow?
Hey, Haruna! It’s unusual to see you hanging out with Kotegawa, meow!
Please make yourself at home, meow!
Oh, okay.
This shop is “different”...
I’m sorry that I asked you to hang out with me out of the blue.
I know this place is unique...
Yahoo! Yui and Haruna!
Risa! Jeez...
Don’t scare me like that!
Mio told me that an unusual duo would be here, so...
Two girls hanging out together when you have only half day at school? That’s sad.
Oh well, I guess I shouldn’t be talking about others, huh?
It’s indecent for a student to have a relationship with opposite sex!
There you go! You love the word “indecent”, don’t you?
Oh, you know what? I had a date with Yuuki in this shop before!
What?
With Yuuki?!
Kujo
It’s feels nice and cold...
How are you feeling?
I think I feel better now.
Good. I’m glad you feel better.
It was really hot today, you know.
I’ll be there soon, so wait for me.
Okay.
How beautiful...
There’s a hair dryer over there.
Oh, okay.
Her cool personality reminds me of Yami a little.
If feels cool!
Nice breezes comes through here.
You should relax here until it gets dark.
Thank you for everything.
Um, you’re...
Rin Kujo.
I’m Mikan Yuuki! I’m Rito Yuuki’s...
I know. His younger sister, right? I remember.
Rin Kujo... I thought she was...
So you weren’t with her today?
Saki had a dinner appointment with her father today, Aya and I are doing our own things.
Your legs.
It’s okay to relax.
Oh, but...
Okay, if you say so...
You’re very mature, aren’t you?
Unlike your big brother...
He attempts to do indecent things to Lady Saki and me every chance he gets!
He’s too dangerous to get even close to!
Just like the other day he grabbed my breast when he fell.
It’s unforgivable even if he didn’t mean to.
I’m sorry... I shouldn’t be saying this to his sister, huh?
It’s okay because it’s the truth.
What is he like at home?
He’s completely useless.
He can’t do anything without me anyway.
Actually that might not be the case lately...
...even when I’m not around...
Is something wrong?
A date with Yuuki?!
I asked him out so I could thank him for saving me from this jerk before.
And when the night came we went straight to my home...
Yuuki... You shouldn’t...
But you’re the one who asked me out.
But I...
Believe it or not Yuuki’s got some skills!
S-Skills?!
He’s quite an animal.
A-Animal?!
Oh well, all men are the same anyway.
All they ever think about is indecent stuff.
At the end of the day Yuuki is just another man after all.
I see.
You should expect a freeloader to help you around the house,
but now you feel like you have no place to be because of her.
It seems that Momo shares more tastes with Rito than I do
especially when it comes to entertainment and video games.
I can’t help feeling excluded.
You must be fond of Rito Yuuki.
It’s not like that at all! I’m just a little bothered by it as her little sister!
To me he’s nothing but impudent, but obviously that’s not the case to you.
Rito is...
...not like that!
What?
Yuuki is not like any other men.
He may be indecent, but he wouldn’t do frivolous stuff like that.
It’s just that... he tends to do indecent stuff every now and then but that’s not purposefully...
I mean...
I guess I went too far with the joke!
At any rate, Yui, you seem to know about him quite well.
It’s not like that!
I’ve just got that impression while checking Yuuki as a discipline committee member and...
I see!
That’s right... It’s not like that.
I just... I just wanted to let them know that the real Yuuki is...
...always so enthusiastic about everything.
He gives it all he’s got no matter what he’s doing...
There was a time Rito took me to a swimming pool on the hot day like today.
But before I knew it I strayed from Rito.
Although I didn’t even realize that I was lost...
Mikan!
Rito?
I finally found you!
Didn’t I tell you not to stray from your brother?
I looked everywhere for you like crazy! I thought some bad person took you away!
There’s no way that will happen!
You’re so dramatic, Rito!
I’m not being dramatic!
There are a lot of bad people out there and...
You’re so sweaty...
Were you worried about me that much?
Don’t be ridiculous. I look like this because I was swimming...
Seeing his sweat showed me how hard he was looking for me.
I thought he was silly, yet at the same time that made me happy.
The story from the past that I don’t know about...
You must’ve been observing all the good things and the bad things
about Rito Yuuki at the closest place to him.
Just like Saki and Aya are to me, Rito Yuuki and you must be irreplaceable to each other.
As long as there’s the bond between you and he I’m sure no one could come and take your place.
Because you’re Mikan Yuuki.
It made me happy...
What?
...to find out that you already know that Yuuki is really an earnest person.
Well, that’s...
Because I know what kind of person he really is.
He could be indecent, but also genuine. He could be pathetic, but also dependable.
He’s unlike any other boy...
...and so special...
...Special...
Since when have I looked at Yuuki in that way?
I’m so indecent...
Thank you for everything today! You don’t have to come with me any further.
You don’t have to be polite. I’ll walk with you a little more.
She’ll be fine, Miss Kujo!
I’ll accompany her from here on.
Momo!
Let’s go home together, Mikan!
All right.
Take Mikan to where Rito Yuuki is.
Okay.
I didn’t realize you could fly, too.
Yes. With the anti-gravity wings system that your sister invented.
Were you listening to the conversation between Rin and I?
I’m sorry, but I couldn’t help it.
Mikan, you know I’m envious of you.
What?
Rito told me this the other day.
Mikan is my only younger sister, who means a lot to me.
Mikan is more than just my sibling. She’s that special to me.
Rito said that?
I can’t help but to be envious.
I’m envious of the fact that Rito feels that way about you.
You’ve been with Rito much longer than my sister or I have been with him.
You two share many memories that only you two know about.
And there’s the bond between you two, which I could never have no matter how hard I try.
But I want to be someone who’s considered special by Rito one day.
I truly feel that way from the bottom of my heart.
Momo...
You do like Rito...
Well, this surely helped us better understand how we both feel about him,
so why don’t we get inside Rito’s bed tonight together?
Where did you get that idea?
Mikan!
Rito?
Why?
I called him earlier.
I thought I told him we were heading home...
Mikan!
Can you really walk?
What about the fever? Aren’t you dizzy?
I-I’m fine! I’m okay now.
Are you sure?
Don’t tell me you’re forcing yourself!
I’m not!
Don’t be so loud. You’re embarrassing me.
Just like that time...
Dry yourself, you silly.
Who are you calling silly?
Isn’t that the truth?
What a show-off...
Come on! Hurry up and wipe it off!
Let me carry your stuff, Mikan.
At any rate...
Rin Kujo... Maybe I should check her out.
What’s the matter, Kotegawa?
Nothing.
I can’t believe this is my first love...!
What do you think you’re doing, you pervert!
I can never accept that!
