Ch. 27 Ep. 5: All Shapes and Sizes

After escaping to the Club, Shioriko sees how close Kanata and her younger sister Haruka are. She and Kaoruko are so different that it confuses her. To cheer her up, everyone with a sister meets up at a diner on their day off.

Shioriko

Um… What are you all here for?

Dia

We heard that you were having some trouble with your sister, and all of us have sisters of our own, so we're here to help you.

Shioriko

Did you call them here?

Player

Ahaha, I didn't realize that the crowd had gotten so big.

Honoka

Anyway, I want to hear about your older sister, Shioriko!

Chika

Me too, me too!

Eli

I'm curious about her too. She did help launch the School Idol Festival, after all.

Nico

Right. Plus I heard about this School Idol Exhibition thing. She's clearly something special, so we can't help wondering about her.

Honoka

Yeah! I'm so excited that there's a new event!

Chika

Everyone at our school is looking forward to it too!

Emma

I'm also quite curious about Miss Kaoruko.

Kanata

Hey, Shioriko. Tell us more about her!

Shioriko

I can, but you may end up disappointed.

Ruby

Why?

Shioriko

The Kaoruko I know is…probably not quite what you're all imagining.

Honoka

What, really?

Shioriko

Yes, I think so.

Shioriko

For example… When she was in high school, on weekends she'd stay up all night watching school idol videos, regardless of how much homework she had to do.

Ruby

I get that, though. School idol videos are just so much fun to watch!

Eli

Well, the issue is that she didn't do her homework.

Dia

And that's a very big issue. A student's duty is to study, first and foremost. Neglecting that is unthinkable.

Honoka

Ahaha… That hits a bit too close to home.

Chika

Urgh, let's just pretend we didn't hear that.

Shioriko

And on top of that, she'd sleep in until the afternoon on Sundays. She probably wouldn't have ever gotten up before nighttime if it weren't for me waking her.

Kanata

That's because beds are so comfy. It's hard to leave your bed when you have a day off.

Shioriko

In a sense, it might have been better if she had stayed asleep.

Shioriko

Because she slept so much during the day and couldn't fall asleep, she would wake me in the middle of the night to play games with her on multiple occasions.

Shioriko

Plus, she always treats me like a little kid, even now.

Shioriko

I'm not sure how to describe it, but from my point of view, she's kind of an annoying big sister.

Emma

Hmm, I can see why you're having trouble with her.

Emma

But no big sister hates her little sister or anything. I think it's because she loves you so much and just can't help herself.

Shioriko

I think that's just how it is in your case, Emma… Ah, but this is a good opportunity for me. I'd like to hear about everyone else as well, so please share your stories.

Dia

Let's see… First off, I'd like to state a solid fact, which is that sisters are an irreplaceable asset.

Dia

Take Ruby as an example. Just look at how cute she is! She's like an angel!

Dia

And she's also a hard worker. As a person, she's absolutely wonderful!

Ruby

Dia, you're embarrassing me…

Dia

There is no need to be embarrassed. I am simply stating the truth!

Dia

She's no ordinary little sister, either. She can sing and dance as well!

Eli

Oh, Alisa sings along to ÎĽ's' songs a lot at home too.

Honoka

The other day, Yukiho showed me a video of her and Alisa singing and dancing to a ÎĽ's song.

Kanata

Haruka's working just as hard as a school idol at Shinonome Academy!

Nico

Singing and dancing aside, I think that as big sisters, our little sisters will always be cute to us no matter how old they are.

Nico

They might be hard to deal with sometimes…

Nico

But when my little sisters look up at me adoringly, it's so precious. It makes me realize that I'm someone special in their eyes!

Chika

I'm the youngest in my family, so as a little sister I can understand how Shioriko feels.

Shioriko

Really?

Chika

Mito treats me like a little kid too, and she calls me names like “Chiklutz.” So mean, right?! Just because she was born a little earlier, she thinks she can boss me around!

Shioriko

Exactly!

Kanata

But she has her good points too, doesn't she?

Chika

Well… When I'm having trouble, she'll complain but still help me out. So I guess she can be nice too.

Chika

And when I'm sick, she'll make rice porridge and bring it to me with grated apple on top…

Chika

…even if I tell her to stay away because I don't want to get her sick.

Eli

Sounds like she cares about you a lot.

Chika

*Giggle* Yeah, maybe!

Shioriko

All of you know your sisters extremely well and vice versa. But I'm not so sure in my case…

Kanata

Uh oh. You're getting even more stressed about it.
