And now for our next story.
Mikadono Kumagorou (49) Dies
Mikadono Kumagorou-san, representative director-president of the large global corporation Mikadono Group,
passed away in the early hours of this morning.
He was 49 years old.
Mikadono-san was a capable president who grew his company to its current size in one generation,
Director-President of the Mikadono Group, Mikadono Kumagorou (49) Dies
and his charisma is highly regarded both locally and outside Japan.
Mikadono-san had been bedridden since half a year ago.
Affiliates from all sectors have expressed their condolences for his early death.
Preparing a funeral is pretty tough work.
I was thinking of helping Mom out,
but I don't think I can handle my own load.
Dad apparently said in his will that he wanted me to succeed him...
...nii-sama...
Onii-sama.
Onii-sama!
Who's that? Where are you?
Onii-sama, I'm here.
Sorry.
I wanted to see you, but there were too many people and I couldn't get to you.
Who are you?
I'm your younger sister.
My younger sister?
But I'm an only child.
You're no longer alone, Onii-sama.
We'll be together from now on.
Together?
What do you mean?
I-I've come to marry you!
Marry me?
But I can't marry my own sister, right?
Shougo-sama.
Oh, Seri-san.
Is something the matter?
No, nothing...
Nobody's there.

Episode 01
The Voice of the Sister I Don't Know
Shougo-sama.
Seri-san.
Mom.
The one-year training to succeed as the head of the Mikadono Group must have been difficult.
It wasn't too bad...
You managed to get rather good results in our Group's academy for talented individuals.
I had trouble with the final part of the curriculum and couldn't make it in time for the second-year opening ceremony, though.
Shougo.
Do you remember the other condition your father set you in order to succeed as the head of the Group?
Yes.
I have to find a girl I love before I graduate from high school and make her my lifelong companion.
Even if you're young, you'll have the calmness and charisma to lead the Group if you have a wife and family.
That's what Kumagorou thought.
From today onwards, you'll be attending Miryuuin Academy, the old and reputable school your father attended.
I'm sure you'll find a suitable girl.
Take this as well.
What's this?
We've rented an apartment close to the academy.
It will be your new home starting today.
Huh? I thought the academy has dormitories-
What are you talking about?
You're looking for someone to marry.
The dormitories have too many rules that might interfere with building a relationship.
Building a relationship?
Hey-
Shougo-sama, all of your belongings have already been moved there.
R-Right.
I can drive you to school if you'll be going now.
No, it's fine.
It's the first step of a new chapter in my life.
I'll walk there with my own two feet.
...and yet I still get lost after saying that.
I hope this is the right way...
A patisserie...
Shougo.
Let's buy a birthday cake and celebrate your next birthday together.
That's right.
Today's my birthday.
I guess Mom was too busy to remember.
Watch out!
Are you okay?
Yes...
What is it? Are you hurt?
N-No, I'm fine.
This is a pretty strange phone.
I've never seen one like it.
Here you go.
Oh, thank you.
What about your cake?
It's a cream puff, so it should be fine.
Your uniform...
Are you a student at Miryuuin Academy?
Yes, I am.
Today's my first day there, but I got lost on the way over...
If you don't mind, could you show me the way there?
You're a transfer student?
Yeah. I'm Mikadono Shougo.
I knew it.
Huh? Knew what?
Oh, I heard rumors that someone was transferring into the second year today...
Um...
Oh, I'm Tsuruma Konoe.
Tsuruma Konoe...
Um, are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Really.
So why did you buy a cream puff on your way to school?
The cream inside Marie Chocolate's cream puffs is really good!
Right... and?
W-Well... I kind of eat them every day.
O-Oh?
Every morning, I eat cream puffs in that park over there!
Tranquility Park
Here's your half, Mikadono-san.
Huh? Are you sure?
If you won't become my cream puff friend, I won't show you the way to school.
All right.
Thanks.
Oh, it tastes much lighter than I had expected.
I know, right?
Must be that.
The birds on that clock start singing at every hour and every half past.
Oh, I see.
Wh-What?
Don't move.
Just stay still.
There you go.
Th-Thanks.
Y-You know, I don't do this for just anyone.
It's...
It's kind of strange.
It's as if we've known each other for a long time.
Do you know what people call this sort of thing?
A fated encounter!
So you're Mikadono, the new transfer student.
And you're Kotori-sensei, my homeroom teacher?
Is there a problem with that?
N-No, not really.
I'm Mikadono Shougo, and I'll be joining your class.
Mikadono Shougo
It's a pleasure to meet you all.
Hey, Mikadono. Don't you have more to say?
Mikadono Shougo
That introduction was way too short.
Uh...
Oh, right. I'm an only child.
So I'd love to make some new friends while attending here.
All right.
Mikadono Shougo
As for your seat...
How about next to Tsuruma?
Mikadono, Tsuruma's the class rep.
If you have any questions, just ask her.
Looks like we're sitting together again.
Yeah.
I'll be in your care, Tsuruma-san.
That's Kannagi-san.
Kannagi Miyabi-san.
H-Hello, Kannagi-san.
Look, look! It's Mikadono-kun!
So he's the Mikadono Group's...
He's kinda hot!
You seem to be getting a lot of attention.
Kannagi-san isn't very talkative, is she?
Does she bother you?
No, not really, just...
She didn't reply to me when I said hi.
I'm wondering if I upset her somehow.
I don't think that's the case.
Kannagi-san doesn't really seem like the type to proactively approach others.
This should do.
Thank you for helping me even though you're not on cleaning duty.
I'll help out when it's your turn.
Don't worry about it.
You have a lot to do as the class rep, don't you?
I shouldn't give you more trouble.
Trouble?
So it's troublesome being with me, right?
I see.
You don't like being with me.
N-No, that's not what I meant...
Really, I...
I was just kidding!
Mikadono-san, you're so gullible!
Oh, you were kidding?
You sure do that a lot.
You teased me this morning with your whole "fated encounter" thing too...
That was... um...
Oh, that's right.
If you'd like, could you call me by my first name?
I don't mind, but why?
"Mikadono" just reminds everyone about the Mikadono Group.
I've never really liked that.
Okay, but in that case, Mikado-
I mean, Shougo-san, call me "Konoe" too.
It wouldn't be fair otherwise.
O-Okay...
Konoe.
Oh, Shougo-san? Is it embarrassing to call me that?
N-No, it isn't really...
Liar. Your face is all red.
That's a big scar...
I got this back when I was a kid.
Apparently, I hit my head hard in some sort of accident,
so my memories from back then are kind of hazy.
There's a lot I can't really remember.
I see. Your memories...
Sorry for showing you something so unpleasant.
You must be grossed out.
No, it's not gross at all!
There's no way I'd find that gross.
Pain, pain, go away!
Does it still hurt?
N-No... Thank you.
You're kind of really close, though.
Can't... Can't I get closer?
Huh?! Wait...
Ow!
Are you okay, Shougo-san?
Yeah, but why did an empty can just...
Geez, what a show.
What do you think you're doing at school?
W-Well, uh... um...
There was some dust on Shougo-san's hair, so...
Dust on his hair, huh?
Konoe-chan!
Hey, Konoe-chan!
It's almost time for the class rep meeting!
President Tendou.
And Vice-President Kunitachi-san.
I'm gonna finish all the snacks if you don't hurry!
What are you talking about, President Tendou?
Huh? But I have to give her ample warning...
No one needs those kinds of warnings!
Hmm...
Does that mean I can eat all the snacks?
How did you come to that conclusion?!
Oh no, Rinka-chan's mad!
I have to go to the meeting...
Yeah. Okay.
Well, Kannagi-san...
There's a lot of delicious snacks!
Really?
Hey, Shougo.
What are you all scared for?
Didn't you want to be called by your first name?
Y-You were listening in?
I wasn't!
I was having a nap up on the tree and just happened to overhear it.
You're such a player to be hitting on girls right after transferring in.
I wasn't hitting on her.
We were just talking after coming here to throw away the trash.
Oh?
It sure looked like you were trying to kiss her from my view.
W-Well, Konoe was just looking at my scar...
Scar?
This one.
Oh, that was it?
So Tsuruma-san's just a classmate to you, right?
Of course.
Prove it, then.
Prove it?
Kiss me.
What?!
You don't mind kissing any classmate, so it'd be weird if you couldn't do it with me.
Like I said, I wasn't trying to kiss her!
Whatever, just kiss me.
I can't.
Smooch me, then.
I refuse.
How about touching lips?
You're using different words to mean the same thing!
Looks like I have no choice.
Well, I'll let you put your tongue in.
My tongue? Seriously?
Look, I don't know what you're trying to pull, but there's no way I can do that.
We only just met today.
Fine!
I see. Whatever.
Onii-chan, welcome home.
I've been waiting for so long, Onii-chan.
That was a pretty eventful day.
Refrigerated food delivery here!
"As above"? I don't remember sending this.

A birthday cake for me?
Wasn't "Marie Chocolate" the shop this morning?
It's from Konoe?!
But I didn't tell her my birthday or my address.
What's this?
Th-This is...
Grand Bellion the Cyborg Soldier!
Are you okay, Perin-chan?
Yes.
Ooh, click click!

Hello? Who's this?
Onii-sama.
Happy birthday!
Why are you calling me Onii-sama?
Who exactly are you?
I'm your younger sister!
Younger sister?
Did you receive my present?
Present? So it's from you?
Yes.
What about the photo?
It's a photo from back then, when we went to the amusement park together.
I'm the one who's kissing you on the cheek.
It's definitely me in the picture, but...
We've been separated for such a long time,
but I'm really happy we could meet again.
But I don't even have a younger sister...
Are you really my younger sister?
Tell me.
Who exactly are you?
I attend the same school you do.
I was really surprised with how charismatic you've become.
What's more, you were kind enough to help throw away the trash...
You were watching me at the time?!
Give me your name!
I love you, Onii-sama.
Shougo-san's such a nice person for helping me take out the trash.
He's a little pervy, though.
When I was wiping the cream off his mouth this morning,
h-he was looking at my boobs...
They're so soft and full of cream...
Just like cream puffs!
Shougo-san, you can go ahead and eat my cream puffs.
No! No!
It's all your fault, Shougo-san!
You're such a perv!
Your pervy eyes made me say stuff like that!
Morning...
I have a younger sister...
If I really did have a sister with the same father but a different mother...
Shougo-san.
Oh, morning.
What's wrong, Shougo-san?
Nothing, I just thought someone was watching.
Huh?
My "sister" said she goes to this school on the phone last night.
What's more, she's somewhere around me.
And during the funeral...
I've come to marry you!
So if the person I pick as my companion turns out to be my sister...
It'll mean my sister and I will...
...get married?!
