Mei-chan, are you tired?

I'm fine.

I'm thinking about getting lunch. Is there anything you'd like?

Let me know if there is.

We're family, so no need to hold back.

I'd like to learn what you like too, Mei-chan.

This girl...

I'm over here worrying myself crazy,

and what is even going through her head?

Hey, Yuzu, watch out!

Huh?

Go take a bath quick, before you catch a cold!

I know!

Mei-chan, you go, too.

Huh?

Huh?!

Well, I guess it makes sense.

We're both women.

It's not like bathing together matters...

Her hair's so pretty.

Her skin's pale, too.

I bet it would be soft if I touched it.

What am I thinking?!

Why I would I touch it?!

Because this girl went and kissed me... have I gone crazy?!

I-I'm getting out.

Huh?

Hey!

No!

Why are you doing this?!

Because you looked like you wanted me to touch you.

What is her problem?

I didn't want you to touch me at all!

Hey, morning!

Yuzucchi, you look sleepy.

Hey.

Do girls here flirt with other girls, even if they don't like them?

Hmm, isn't that normal?

For real?!

Well, it's less about romance than sating their fleeting lusts.

A lot of the girls here are already engaged, right?

So a lot of them wanna fool around before they have to tie the knot.

It's like they're all in heat.

I see.

I wonder if that's how she felt, too.

What?

Yuzucchi, are you going into heat, too?

N-No way!

What?

The chairman's here today.

Yuzucchi, this is bad.

Your hair and makeup, especially.

Well, sit back and watch, Harumin-san.

Behold the power of the elite Aihara Yuzu!

What's with all the confidence?

Huh?

Good morning, Grandpa!

Huh?!

Who are you?

H-Huh?

What are you doing with that uniform?

You're not one of our students, are you?

U-Uh...

He hasn't heard about the remarriage at all, has he?!

Mei!

Yes.

What is going on here?

Why are you allowing such a fool to run amok?

My apologies.

Are you really directing these students regularly?!

Student Council

Hey, Grandpa!

She's not to blame here!

If you're going to be mad, be mad at me!

Why do you think you can call me such a thing?

An indecent girl like you has no place in this academy.

Leave!

What...

You blockhead.

You're the bigger fool here, refusing to listen to other people!

Dummy! Jerk!

Stupid head!

What was that girl?

You old blockhead!

Still, calling the chairman "Gramps" might be the funniest thing all year.

My plan failed, that's all.

And you're not leaving, either.

Of course not.

I refuse to give into that guy's demands!

Even if gyaru sleep through class, they don't skip school!

It's true.

Yeah.

Shoot!

Yeah.

That's right.

Once I marry the chairman's daughter...

Money won't be an issue.

As long as I play this love game for two more years, I'll obtain honor and status.

So I'll be sure to take good care of her until then, at least.

I need to get back to work soon.

Love you.

Talk to you later.

Ouch.

He's totally toying with the student council president.

First the chairman yells at her, now her fiancé's got a lover on the side...

Poor girl.

Yuzucchi?

I'm home.

Do you have a moment?

Sorry about this morning.

It was my fault...

If you're going to apologize,

why don't you stop wearing that indecent outfit?

This is...

Whatever, I apologized.

Also,

today I overheard Amamiya-sensei talking to someone else.

He doesn't care about you at all.

He's just using you to get close to your grandpa because he's the school chairman.

I know you might not want to hear this from me,

but that's not love!

I know.

Huh?

So, what about it?

What about it?

I-I'm your older sister, so...

A child who's never kissed someone before shouldn't act like she understands.

What?!

D-Don't get all high and mighty with me!

I'm warning you because I'm worried about... you...

There's that look again.

That sad, pained look.

Ah, jeez!

Why do I have to keep going through these emotions?!

I feel like an idiot, being the only one.

She looks so cute when she's asleep, too.

...eave.

S-Sorry!

She's sleep talking, right?

Father...

So please take care to lead a proper life.

Thank you very much, Fuji Mineko-sensei.

Yuzucchi's not here, huh?

Next up, a few words from our student council president.

I thought gyaru didn't skip?

Huh? Hey!

What are you doing?

Yeah, yeah, pardon me for a moment.

Yuzucchi?!

Hey, hey, hello.

I'm a freshman, Aihara Yuzu!

Today I have a few things to say on behalf of the students.

Long speeches at morning assemblies are a drag, so I'll finish quick, thanks.

So...

Our hot teacher, Amamiya-sensei was making out with a student here at school!

From what I could see, he was forcing himself on her.

Hey! Somebody stop her!

Oh, by the way, as Aihara Yuzu, I'm the chairman's granddaughter,

so thanks again!

Hmm, I was prepared to face a suspension,

but nothing's happened.

Well, none of the staff could do much to you

after you said you were the chairman's granddaughter.

Is that how it works?

I'm home!

Mama?

What's wrong?

Mama?

Yuzu.

Mei-chan...

They took her away!

Huh?

They took her away?

What do you mean?!

Aihara and his men came

and said they'd be taking Mei-chan in at her grandfather's.

She seemed to accept it, too.

I couldn't stop it.

It's my fault.

Because of me, she's...

Hey, Mama!

All right, all right!

I'll go ask how she really feels!

But if she still says she prefers her grandfather's, then let's give up, okay?

I need to do this for Mama too, but...

I also wanna know how she really feels.

Hey, you!

Got something to say me?

Such as?

Huh?

Good morning, President.

Good morning.

Good morning.

President, do you have plans for lunch?

What's with that reaction?

If you don't mind, would you join us?

Uh, Amamiya-sensei has left this academy for personal reasons.

Sure, maybe I'm to blame too,

Therefore, starting today I, Kobushi, will be your homeroom teacher.

but why's she suddenly acting like a stranger?

I know you might be confused by the sudden change, but if you have any concerns...

Mama's so worried about her, and she's saying she feels nothing?

Hey, hey, you look like you're in a bad mood today.

Well, we have a test tomorrow, so I guess that's expected.

Tests are just par for the course.

Now, now, I've brought something good for you, Yuzucchi.

Ta-dah!

Coupons for the shop opening up next week!

Huh.

Hey now, not into it?

Well, it is good, but...

I'll take it, at least.

You're no fun.

A little while ago, I would've been gung-ho about it.

Maybe I'm starting to get all negative like the people here.

No, no!

I need to press even harder!

Aihara-san!

Sorry about the morning assembly.

I didn't think it would lead to this.

I wasn't there last night, so I have to ask...

Are you really planning on leaving our home?

Wh-What?

Then will you steal me away from grandfather's home?

Just kidding.

My grandfather told me to stop associating with you.

So I'm not going back there.

I decided that on my own.

Leave me alone already.

I know P.E.'s a drag, but it's way better than sitting all day for a test.

Ow, ow!

It's been a week, and she hasn't said anything.

She's always surrounded by other people.

That girl, she's the one who claimed to be the chairman's granddaughter at the assembly.

Huh? A secret child?

No way. She probably just wanted to get closer to the president, right?

Oh, there are those types.

In contrast, the rumors are making me look like an idiot.

I guess to them, I'm the same as the ones surrounding her—

No, even lower.

What is all this?

I hate it.

When night comes, it feels like these hot, messy feelings are going to crush me.

I'm being so creepy.

What a huge house!

What are you doing?

U-Um...

Here.

Pardon me.

Grandpa really is super rich, huh?

I believe you already have your answer to that.

No, that's what I'm here about.

When you're finished, please leave.

H-Hey, are you really not coming back to us again?

So, that is what you're here about.

Don't make me repeat myself.

I chose this—

Why do you look sad around me, then?

It was the same when we kissed.

And when I told you that you were being used.

For a moment, you gave me that same look.

Do you let other people see you like that, too?

That night, you called for your father over and over in your sleep as you cried.

It made me wonder if there was anything I could do.

I wanted to shake off some of your stifling rules.

You can be freer now!

Shut up.

If it's too hard on your own, then I'll help—

Shut up!

Hey!

S-Stop!

It's all right!

I'm with you now!

What's all the commotion about, Mei?

Grandpa!

Nothing good ever comes of having you around.

First your arrival at school, then the morning assembly.

As of today, you're expelled!

Huh?

Don't worry about the paperwork. I'll handle it myself.

Hey!

Hey, hold on!

Go home!

This is no place for someone like you!

Where should we go have fun next?

Pushed down by my little sister and expelled...

Jeez, I don't understand anything anymore.

What's wrong today, Yuzucchi?

You're not cutting loose much.

Well, speaking of cutting loose, I've kind of been super cut off.

Huh?!

Your mom remarried so you became the president's sister,

and then you got expelled when you stood up for her?!

What the heck! That's mad funny!

That chairman's such a creep, damn!

Seriously, what do I do tomorrow?

What did your mom say?

Haven't told her.

I see.

I've tried doing these things for her...

But I don't understand how she really feels,

and it looks like I hit her where it hurts pretty bad.

I guess in the end, I couldn't become her older sister.

Now, now, Yuzucchi.

I think you did your best.

Any girl would be truly happy to have a big sister going to such lengths for her.

I'm sure your feelings are getting across.

My feelings?

What did I want to convey to her?

Oh, I get it.

Honestly, I've never once been in love.

I don't really get love.

But this is love.

I don't care about status or what others think.

My name is Mei.

Why won't you call me by my first name?

This was the easiest way to shut you up.

You're awful.
