Episode 12
My Sister Was Always Right Beside Me
This is the one last place we need to go?
Lyrical Sisters
Welcome!
U-Uh... Thanks.
Oh? Are you two on a date?
Yes!
Um, Senpai.
Is something happening today?
We're holding a rare event today.
The precocious sister is playing cafe!
Be entertained by sisters trying their best to suppress their sisterly tendencies!
Houshou
Thanks for today.
I had fun.
That's good.
You sure I don't need to walk you back to the dorms?
Yes, I'm sure.
See you at school tomorrow.
Yeah.
Shougo.
What is-
I love you, Shougo.
So go out with me.
Be my boyfriend.
Miyabi, thanks.
I'm really happy that you love me.
Really?! Then you'll-
Sorry.
I can't be your boyfriend.
You're... right.
I-I knew that.
I can't be your girlfriend.
Miyabi...
Sorry, Miyabi.
I have no other choice at this point.
I-I didn't mean to eavesdrop...
Yuzurina, do you have some time to talk?
Huh?
Yuzurina.
Too bad things didn't go the way you planned.
Onii-sama, what do you-
You're plotting to get Miyabi and me together, aren't you?
Plotting?
On the night of the party, you said that if anyone found out about the illegitimate child, it would be Dad's scandal.
You're exactly right.
But what if I started going out with my blood sister without knowing it?
If that got out to the public, it would become my scandal.
Wait!
I don't know what you're talking about!
I did think it'd be wonderful if you and Kannagi-san were to fall in love,
but that was because I wanted the best for you as your sister...
As my sister, huh?
Yuzurina, we found out we were siblings using a DNA test, didn't we?
That's right!
We're siblings related by blood!
But what if those test results were fake?
But how could they be?
I initially regretted doing something that let Seri-san know who my sister is.
I felt like a huge idiot for asking the enemy to do a DNA test for me.
But if Seri-san was my enemy to begin with, she could've just given me someone else's results under false names.
You're thinking too much.
Maybe.
But what about those invitations you had for everyone else?
You said you asked your foster parents to prepare them.
But that wasn't the truth.
The one who prepared the five invitations was Seri-san?
That's right.
She said you really needed those invitations.
The one who prepared the invitations was Seri-san.
And somehow it seems that I was the one who asked for them.
I wonder what this means?
I don't know!
I don't know what you're talking about!
Yet you're suspecting me of something...
Why?
Why won't you believe me?!
Stop that pathetic acting.
Ikusu?
Why don't you admit it, Houshou Yuzurina?
Or maybe I should call you...
Danno Nayuri.
Danno Nayuri?
Where have I heard that name?
Danno Nayuri.
A child star who stunned the world with her acting ten years ago.
But she left the celebrity world after only a couple years.
Few speak of her anymore.
Shougo-kun, I'm sure you've seen Danno Nayuri on TV before,
playing Perin-chan in Cyborg Soldier Grand Bellion.
It's amazing you'd go as far as to look up my past.
Then you really aren't-
Shougo-oniisama-or rather, Mikadono Shougo.
I'll admit my defeat.
Why would you do this?!
Why?
As a job, of course.
I'm an actress.
It looks like I failed, but it was quite fun.
The night of the party was a masterpiece.
You know that phone call you overheard Secretary Seri make?
It was me on the other side.
And without knowing it, you told me about it.
It took everything I had not to laugh.
My, how scary.
You don't have to get so mad.
I've failed at my job. I'll disappear soon enough.
O-ni-i-sa-ma.
I didn't think it'd be easy, but she's unbelievable.
Well, for now at least-
Call incoming
Tsuruma Konoe
Call incoming.
Call incoming..
Call incoming...
Tsuruma Konoe
Call incoming...
Tsuruma Konoe
Call incoming...
Hello?
Shougo-san, it's horrible!
Kannagi-san was...
Infirmary
Senpai!
How's Miyabi?!
Is she okay?
Calm down, Mikadono.
She started drowning at morning practice, but it's nothing serious.
Drowning?!
I don't know why, but she's been crying ever since she was rescued.
It seems to be something psychological, so she'll be resting in the infirmary until she calms down.
I see.
Mikadono, did something happen between you two yesterday?
Senpai, since when were you and Miyabi on a first-name basis?
I knew it. You were hiding the fact that-
Mikadono.
Who will benefit from that now?
I really should've asked you about this sooner.
But I didn't...
At this rate, she'll be crushed under the weight of her own secret.
I can't...
I can't let that happen!
That's why I'm going to tell her everything I know.
So you're ready.
Yes.
Then go ahead.
Do you think I was wrong to hide her identity?
No, I'm grateful to you.
You've been protecting my sister for me all this time.
I see.
Thank you.
Shougo...
Sorry, did I wake you?
No, I was just lying down with my eyes closed.
I see.
Would you mind talking for a bit?
Okay.
I need to apologize to you.
If it's about what happened yesterday, don't worry.
I knew you were going to say that.
That's not it.
That's not what I need to apologize for.
Sorry for not realizing it was you who came to me at Dad's funeral.
The funeral was on the same day as the entrance exam for Miryuuin Academy.
But you were accepted on a sports recommendation.
The exam was on a different day for you.
Right?
Kunitachi-san told me that people accepted on recommendations take exams on a different day.
If I'm wrong, tell me.
Looks like you know everything.
That's right. It was me.
I'm the one who told you that I came to marry you.
I told you about how my dad and Kumagorou-san met at the hospital, right?
It was around that same time.
I'm home!
Please, don't say anything and just take it.
I knew it was Kumagorou-san the moment I heard his voice.
But just as I was thinking of greeting him properly, my dad...
I can't take it no matter what you say.
Please. Take it for the girl.
I didn't know what they were talking about at first.
But very slowly, I figured out that maybe...
After that, my dad changed hospitals, and I never saw you again.
I wasn't certain at the time, but one day, I found an envelope full of money in a drawer.
There was a letter in there with it.
And it said that you were his illegitimate child?
It said that the money was for living expenses and to use it to make his daughter, me, happy.
When I found out that my first love was my brother, I didn't know what to do.
But...
When I heard that Kumagorou-san died, I decided.
I'd go see you again, one more time.
My parents are divorced.
My mom moved out of the house, so I don't see her very often.
Losing your family is a really painful thing.
Since you had lost your father, I figured I'd console you.
And then I'd be your new family.
My new family?
I really just wanted to tell you that I'm your sister.
But I was nervous.
And...
And when it came to it, I...
I still wanted to marry you.
That's why when I met you again at this school,
I decided that I would keep my being your sister a secret no matter what.
I wouldn't be able to marry you if anyone found out.
So you didn't tell me you came to the funeral.
That's why I knew right away that Houshou-san was lying when she said she was your sister.
But then I figured I got lucky since you wouldn't suspect me of being your sister anymore.
Lucky?
But right after you thought you had found your sister, you started trying to date Tsuruma-san.
Hey, what are you talking about?
I saw you kissing Tsuruma-san.
You saw that?!
No, that's not what happened. We didn't actually kiss...
But you wanted to kiss her.
Well... Yeah.
My mind went blank.
The next day, I went to Houshou-san's room without considering the consequences.
I told her that I knew she was a fake and asked her to reveal herself.
You thought that I would hesitate about dating a girl if I knew that Yuzurina wasn't my real sister.
But Houshou-san said...
How do you know I'm a fake?
Because I know someone else who received living expenses from Kumagorou-san.
I see.
Then I'll explain myself.
I'm not his sister. I'm just a relative.
I decided, as part of the family, to play the role in order to protect the real sister.
If the public finds out about the illegitimate child, it would not bode well for the Mikadono Group.
If a scandal were to occur, she would suffer emotionally as well.
That's why I want to help keep his real sister's identity hidden.
Kannagi-san, could you tell me who it was that received the living expenses?
If she intends to keep her identity hidden, I will provide support for her in every possible way.
I-It's me.
I received the living expenses.
Do you have any proof of that?
I have a letter.
From Kumagorou-san.
Could you let me borrow it for a while?
I want to confirm if it's real or not.
Fine.
You'll provide support for me if it proves that I'm his real sister, right?
Yes.
What kind of support, exactly?
Let's see.
First, I'll have you invited to the upcoming party.
Really?
Yes.
But you'll need to bring the letter to the party.
If it really proves that you're his sister, I'll give you my full support.
So that's why.
She invited everyone else because it'd be weird if you were the only one.
Probably.
I left the ballroom to meet with Houshou-san at the hotel's cafe, but...
You didn't give her the letter?
Yeah.
At the last minute, I thought that it might not be a good idea.
I thought that Houshou-san would get mad at me,
but she just accepted it and said that it was okay that I had changed my mind.
It felt like I was deceiving even Houshou-san.
I didn't know what to do.
I then spaced out for a while in the cafe.
That's probably when the letter was stolen from the cloakroom.
I only noticed it was missing the next morning.
I knew right away that Houshou-san must have taken it.
I realized that I had fallen into a horrible trap and panicked.
That's why you didn't go to school?
Then Houshou-san called me.
She said that she'd come visit me if I was in my dorm room.
Don't tell me...
Yeah.
It was about an hour before you and Tsuruma-san came to see me.
I asked Houshou-san about the letter.
There was no letter in the first place.
Am I right?
What are you talking about?!
I brought it yesterday!
You aren't Shougo-san's sister.
So you have no proof that you're his sister.
Right?
Shougo-oniisama's sister is me.
That way, as his sister, I can help bring you two together.
Houshou-san...
Don't you think that works out for both of us?
It was strange.
When she said that, I really thought that it might be for the best.
Is that why you suddenly asked me on a date?
Houshou-san asked me about a lot of things.
When I told her about what happened in the suite room, she said that I was just one step away from getting you.
She said she'd help too.
Help?
So that's why she said she saw Konoe at the funeral that day.
Miyabi, I want you to listen calmly.
Yuzurina is actually...
Documents affirming that land was given to nobles, temples, and feudal lords were published.
I'm sorry...
I had no idea...
I... I...
It's okay, Miyabi.
What's done is done.
But... But...
If you hadn't suddenly decided not to give her the letter, I wouldn't have caught on to her plot.
So don't worry.
Then you'll forgive me?
Why would I need to?
We're siblings.
You're right...
We're siblings.
Miyabi.
Let's be closer siblings than any lovers could be.
Closer siblings than any lovers could be?
Yeah.
Aquatic Center
Ahh, she was so close to getting past the preliminaries.
What a shame.
The competition was really tough this year, so she did a great job already.
Oh, Kannagi-san...
Sorry, everyone.
You all came to cheer for me, but...
What are you saying?
You broke your own personal record. You did great.
Good job, Miyabi.
I see.
So Yuzurina disappeared.
I tried to trace her, but she's probably hiding herself.
I pulled a few strings, so the opposition probably won't try anything again anytime soon.
But don't let your guard down.
Yeah.
I'll protect my sister, no matter what happens.
I knew it!
We heard a pair of boys were flirting on the rooftop, so we figured it had to be you two!
Sh-Shougo-san, were you planning on making babies with Mizutani-kun?!
Even though you have someone like me! Have you no shame?!
Now that you've found your sister, you could make out with any girl you wanted.
But to think you'd choose that route...
In that case, please date me under pretense of marriage!
What about my strawberry?!
No, not just that!
Please eat my cream puffs too!
You can't do that!
Onii-chan's mine!
What are you saying?!
That's right! I can't allow that!
Shougo-kun's so popular.
You're not getting away!
Whoa! Give me a break!
