Beetles will be here too by summer.

Beetles?

You don't know what they are?

I do.

But I've never seen one.

Hi, it's Jennifer!

Well, what can I say about last time...

It was like watching a comedy between two unbelievably dense characters.

Geez... Someone tell me something!!

Oh? I get a part in this episode?

Okay, okay. I guess I can do something about it then.

What? Not until the second half?

Fine, I'll just have a drink while I wait.

Yes, let's get this started already!

Geez... Why can't he just tell me if he's going to be late?

It's always like that...

Stupid brother!

Ah, he's home.

Geez, where were you?

Oh Kimi, I'm home.

Girls always went after him but he never seemed to notice!

I was so sure he had no interest in girls!

Even if he's spaced out for most of the day, those pent-up urges must've been growing daily!

Taking care of an older brother is too much for a grade-schooler to do alone after all...

What to do, what to do!? There's no going back!

Kimi, is dinner ready?

Don't show your dumb face when your little sister is facing an emotional crisis, stupid brother!

Well, from what I understand, your name is Akari and you're a homeless person living in the woods.

Not like that, Akari is more...

Tha's it, more like a special girl.

What? She seems normal enough to me.

This is good...

Hey you, do you realize how abnormal the life you lead is?

More, please!

Just how many do you think you've eaten already?

Now I get it!

Eh, get what?

Akari likes delicious things, right?

Yes, I like them.

I think I'm going to collapse...

Okay, guys need to get out, out, out.

At least wear some panties...

You sure are filthy.

When was the last time you took a bath?

I don't know.

You don't know?

You actually have a home to go back to, don't you?

I don't know.

Probably not.

What about your mother and father?

I don't know.

Really?

Yup.

I see... Okay, I won't ask anymore.

In return, you have to let me do this thoroughly!

Hey, are you done yet?

And of course, with the best timing you come in and... peek!

I've gotten used to seeing naked girls from looking at you, Kimi.

Wh-What are you talking about, stupid brother!

Hey, it's been over a year since I last took a bath with my brother, okay?

I wonder if it'll be sunny tomorrow.

Why that all of a sudden?

The weather forecast said it'll be cloudy for a week.

Don't worry, it'll clear up tomorrow.

Without anything to back it up... what are you talking about?

I'm sure of it.

Since there's no other choice, I'll sleep with her tonight.

You can sleep in my room, okay?

I want to sleep with Ryou.

Please don't say anything that'll cause problems.

Don't worry, Akari.

Kimi is quite huggable. I'm sure you'll be fine.

H-H-Hey! What the heck are you saying?

Don't say anything misleading, stupid brother!

You're the one making it misleading.

Well, good night.

G-Good night.

Good... night.

Wh-What?

No fair, Kimi. You slept with Ryou too...

I might not look it, but I have nights where it's hard to sleep alone too.

In any case, it's fine for me to sleep with my brother.

We're family, so... sleeping together is normal.

Family... is nice.

H-Hey, what are you doing?

He's right. You feel kinda good.

Don't you think my house is weird?

There's no mother or father.

I don't know.

I won't bore you with the details so I'll keep it short.

They both died.

When I say that to people, they look at us like we're the image of unhappiness.

Those kind of things just made it all the more unbearable.

"Poor thing, poor thing." It's like people can't help but pity us.

If you ask me, what's really pitiful is your lack of creativity!

But you have Ryou, right?

Even two makes a family, right?

Family is nice.

Yeah.

N-No, what are you doing?

O-Ow, ow, ow, ow! What was that?

What's the matter?

Bug... bug... bug!

Hey, look. A beetle!

It actually followed me.

He must really like you, Akari.

Yeah!

It looks miserable.

I-I won't have it running loose.

Geez, that scared me.

Why's it here this season anyway?

Never mind that, let's just go to bed.

Good night.

Kimi, are you mad?

It's okay. I said some strange things before too.

Strange?

It's not like I pity you more than myself or anything, okay?

I just thought we might be alike.

Yup, okay. I forgive you.

And I have a family too.

Kuon, and the beetle.

That's why I'm not lonely.

Putting aside... the beetle for now...

What is Kuon?

I don't know.

That again...

Oh well, that's fine.

Kimi?

Let me hug you too.

Thanks to a good night's sleep, your fever's nearly gone.

Yup, more please!

Your appetite seems better, too.

Yup, more please!

So please leave after this one.

Yup, more please!

Huh?

Please don't take this personally.

We have no choice.

The only source of income we have is our parents' inheritance and my brother's part-time job.

We can't spare enough to raise a growing child.

Really?

Yes, really!

So... why'd you end up coming here?

My brother said there's a house here that takes in girls with mysterious backgrounds.

That sounds pretty bad...

And this time, there's this weird thing with her, too.

It looks cute but not really...

What is this?

Please don't ask me.

And so I've been thinking that Hikari and Akari might have something in common.

Ah, I see. They're both from those woods...

Ah, don't say it!

Yes, this can only mean one thing!

If it happened twice, it'll happen three times!

And no more than three times!

Okay, let's go...

- Hikari, Akari, or whoever...

What's with those guys?

Ignore them.

Suprisingly, nothing happened...

Don't you two know each other?

No, not at all.

Nice to meet you.

But you were traveling in space till now and you both ended up on Earth...

You guys have the same memories, right?

I think so, I kind of remember up until then but...

I've forgotten everything until just now.

Isn't it possible that they used to be one being?

Of course, that's just a theory.

She's daring.

Don't you have any common sense?

You know, you can't form a theory using common sense.

You need to go after it more boldly.

Like this, for example...

H-Hey...!

How nice.

I told you to put some clothes on before showing yourself in front of people!

I was just kidding.

Is this place always like this?

I heard this interesting conversation while I was heading down the hallway to go wash my face.

Hm... as of late in particular?

You see, if you girls were travelling in space together, you would've at least met.

It began as one mysterious spirit.

It came to Earth for some reason and split in two for some reason. Wouldn't that be the simplest explanation?

Spirit?

It doesn't matter what you call it.

For creatures made up of physical matter,.

space is just too vast.

In other words, they need an infinite amount of time to traverse it. A body of flesh and blood just won't last.

So you're saying they only took on these forms after reaching Earth?

Well, that's only if the two of them are telling the whole truth.

To make a long story short...

...you're saying that Akari and I are like sisters, right?

Really?

Is that... so?

Isn't that great, Akari?

Yeah!

I'm suprised too.

So, in the end, we're not really sure of anything.

Even so, theorizing begins with irresponsible ideas.

What comes from that is a much more flexible hypothesis than the stereotypical ones.

Biologically, they definitely look like normal adolescent human girls.

It'd be harder to believe that they were in space looking like that.

I guess so.

It's not even funny for an alien to be born with a better figure than me...

If we think of it this way, we might be able to keep our pride.

Yes, I accept the Jennifer Theory!

Seconded!

We're not asking that!

Besides, even if that's true, why are they here? Why human girls and not frogs or fish?

Beats me. I might come up with something if I go to sleep drunk tonight.

I like fish.

Because they're tasty!

What a coincidence. Me too!

It's starting to seem more and more like we're sisters.

Well isn't that wonderful...

Big sister, that person is scary.

Don't worry, she's not as bad as she looks.

Well, well. Now that it's settled for the time being...

...let's do the one from before again!

What kind of clothes should we make this time?

Wow, Akari is so comfortable with intimacy!

Eh, um...

Why don't we try something a bit brighter this time?

Isn't that great?

Well then, we can now go home without worries.

Take care.

Come on, let's go!

Wait, Akari!

No! If I have to live with someone, it has to be Ryou!

That's what I've decided!

D-Don't decide that on your own!

I don't mind.

Brother!

And you're at Ryou's house too, right?

If it's family... If you're going to be part of our family, I might approve of that.

So hurry up and put some clothes on.

Come on.

Okay.

I guess it's settled.

We didn't get to dress her up.

Seems pretty rough at your place too.

Eh, how so?

That's Ryou-sama all right!

Much more open-minded than some guy who looks like he just got out of bed all the time.

Sleeping has nothing to do with it!

Approximately 13 years old.

Thanks for having us!

Mari, could you come give me a hand?

Okay!

Hikari, let's go back inside.

Okay.

Hikari...

Come on, let's get back inside.

You'll catch a cold out here.

Hey there! That's not the place for that, young man!

J-Jennifer?!

Stop pretending to be her guardian.

You should be more honest like those kids earlier.

You'd better cherish the pressure of those breasts you feel on your back right now.

Well, I have her beat in terms of size and shape.

What the heck am I doing...

Listen, you're part of the family now.

That means you can't make passes at anyone.

Make passes?

Ah... it stopped raining.

You can use this room from tomorrow on.

Why don't you open the window?

Just do it. Come on.

What is this thing anyway?

That's where I used to live.

That's the lake I always looked at.

Below that is Takeru's lodging, the place we were just at.

We walked over that road.

Beyond that is a town where lots of people live.

Hey, you should have a look too. We can see it so clearly.

Hey, when did you...?

It took off.

It's okay.

I'm sure he prefers the wide world too.

Yeah. The world is wide!

The sun aims straight at us.

Next time on This Ugly and Beautiful World,.

"School Days."

Eh, am I supposed to say something?

Um... my big sister is going to school for the first time.

And then... um... a guy who looks like Kuon's big brother...

...or is it his little brother?...

...I'm not sure which but he appeared, and said, "You're small."

School Days

And then, Kuon got mad and...
