Taking Shelter with
the Girl on Guard Duty
O-O-One of them
What is it? What's wrong?
I saw it! I saw one of them!
Huh? One of what?
I told you! One of them!
You know, those black, skittery things
Encroachment
You mean a cockro—
Stop! Don't speak its name!
My Stepmom's
Daughter Is
My Ex
The Former Couple Doesn't Know How to Act
"Aren't You Two Acting a Little Awkward?"
Hey, are we really doing this right now?
Will you quit complaining already?
What choice do we have?
ROACH KILLER
I sprayed pesticide, didn't I?
Yeah, after you locked it in my room.
Those things have walked the earth
for three hundred million years.
They demand the utmost vigilance.
Just admit you're scared of them.
Mom and Mineaki-san won't be home
tonight because of the typhoon.
I don't wanna be alone when another
one of those things pops out.
Even still
Do we have to sleep in the same bed?
Why not?
Don't tell me you plan
on making a move on me.
Huh? Of course not.
I should have known.
You didn't have the guts to do
it back in middle school either.
Shut up. Let's just sleep.
Yeah, yeah.
Irido
How long has it been since I
was this close to your face?
Ayai
I can't just erase the fact that we broke up.
That we became stepsiblings.
I have no room for lingering feelings.
You are so unreliable.
I can't believe you're afraid of insects.
It's just pathetic.
Tell Me How to Forget About You
I get it already.
Oh? You do, do you?
It's your fault for being
so pathetic in the first place.
Yeah, yeah. You've made your point.
You two are acting like a couple
going through a rough patch.
Our relatives are gonna tease you even
more when we go see them for Obon.
This trip is starting
to sound less appealing.
The Kyoto Times
Pretty much all there is to do
in my hometown is play in the river.
Make sure to pack your swimsuits, okay?
Pass. I'm just going to read
like I normally do.
I'll probably do the same.
Aw, but playing in the river's fun!
Why don't you go buy a swimsuit, Yume?
And bring Mizuto-kun along!
B-But why?!
I mean, the only one you have
is your school swimsuit, right?
Plus, you've gotten bigger recently,
so it probably doesn't fit you anymore.
Hey— Mom, please!
Anyway, I was asking why
I have to take Mizuto-kun.
What? You don't want him to tag along?
I, um I didn't say that
Then you two had better get going!
Sorry for the wait.
Why are you wearing glasses?
I'm in disguise.
It'll be a pain if someone we
know spots us while we're out.
Here. Wear this.
Hmm?
You've been getting more popular at school
since taking the top score in our class.
You'll be harder to spot with this on.
You're acting like we're celebrities.
Well, if you don't mind the onslaught
of rumors about us dating
when we go back to school,
then I suppose you don't have to wear it.
Fine.
And these too.
Huh?
For your disguise.
See? I'm wearing them too.
No thanks.
Why not?!
You'd look cool
Why am I even here?
Hey.
Hmm? What is it?
There's no one around, is there?
Nope.
I see.
Could you just pick one already?
Could I show you?
Show me? Show me what?
My swimsuit.
Wh-Why me?!
I can't decide, okay?!
This is my first time buying one for myself.
A-And you think I can help you?
I just want your input. Ready?
Wai—
Well?
Um
I-It looks good on you I think.
What was that? Don't you, you know
have more nice things to say?
Huh?
You're asking that
like it's
no big deal
You're really devoted to your family, I guess.
Huh?
Why bring that up?
What else can I say?!
I can't just compliment
how you look without you know?
Y-You idiot!
I didn't mean me! I m-meant the swimsuit!
Like if this color suits me at all!
Or if I look cute in this style!
That kind of thing!
Wait, huh? That's what you meant?
I n-never asked you to compliment me!
I'll go with this one.
You like it?
Y-Yes, I like it. It's for me.
I have to admit I've always appreciated how
willing you are to keep someone company.
Why, thank you.
Although I had to for your sake today,
Miss Family-Comes-First.
Huh?
Dad suggested it. Then Yuni-san pushed
for it, so you couldn't say no, right?
I guess not.
It's a kid's job to assuage
their parent's worries, after all.
That's an odd way of putting it.
I am pleased I got
a swimsuit out of it, though.
That's good.
I got to see you ogle me too.
You were the one trying to show off.
Haven't seen this place in a while, huh?
I guess so.
Ouch!
Irido
Thanks for the book, Mizuto-kun.

I'll Answer Your Mystery
The Resolve to Put My Arm Around You
Oh, how was it?
It was really interesting!
I thought it was just a character study,
but the mystery was really well done.
Yeah, I thought you might like it.
Also, um
Hmm?
I-If ever you happen to have
any more recommendations
Y-Yeah, of course
Look at you two, acting so awkward.
Now you're like a couple working up
the nerve to pop the question.
I remember when we got to that stage.
Right?
Oh, give me a break!
What do you want from us?!
You keep on commenting on our behavior,
so we have no idea how to act anymore!
I'm sorry, honey.
I'm just not used to seeing you get
along so well with a boy, you know?
Well, I guess the fact that they can
joke about us being a couple
means they genuinely regard us as siblings.
My Stepmom's Daughter Is My Ex
Irido
I don't mind watching the
movie Higashira-san suggested
But what's with that position?
Why must she lie on his lap?
Don't you know that's what a couple would do?
Or a dog snuggling up to its owner!
Oh, yeah, you must be so hot.
Of course you'd want to unzip.
But what's this little arrangement?!
I can see your bra strap,
not to mention your crazy cleavage.
That reminds me. What happened
to the clothes we bought you?
And what's with you pulling the zipper
so that it just reveals your chest?
You clearly did that on purpose.
You're kidding, right?!
I get it.
I know it gets all sweaty and itchy,
but you're just gonna scratch it?!
Like this?!
Just how comfortable are they?
That's what's going on.
Even if he poked her chest on purpose,
she'd be all like, "That tickles!"
And that'd be that.
Any minute now
"Wanna go ahead and get married?"
"Sure thing."
That's how cozy these two are acting!

What did you think?
It was interesting.
Which part?
The first thing that caught my eye
was how they depicted the scenery.
But the structure of the narrative
piqued my interest
with the reveal of the main twist
at the midway point.
It felt like the director's fetishes
were front and center in the details,
but overall, the film had a
Hollywood-esque sophistication to it.
All that combined gave it
an indescribable charm.
I feel you on the fetishy part!
Wasn't it great how he fondled
his boobs every time without fail?
That's a gender swap movie
trope though, isn't it?
As far as I know, gender swap
movies are a pretty niche genre.
Why is this one masquerading
as a mainstream feature?
I was too distracted with you to
watch the movie, Higashira-san.
I think it's awesome that a mainstream movie
is openly flaunting such a blatant fetish!
It is pretty amazing.
I guess fetishes inevitably
manifest in creative works.
It rules when you can
read a creator like that.
You can't help but feel
more in tune with them!
Their conversations are nothing
but gobbledygook to me.
I'm thirsty. Pour me some.
Yeah, yeah.
You all right with this cup?
I can't be bothered to go get another one.
Sure.
I'm beat.
You're tired after watching a two-hour movie?
Have you no stamina at all?
I rarely watch animated movies,
but this one really exceeded
my expectations.
Hmm? What's wrong?
Um Well
That was an indirect kiss
just now, wasn't it?
Huh? That's it?
It doesn't faze you at all?
Is it just like that with family?
Or is it normal for high schoolers?
Oh? You really are sleepy.
Allow me to return the favor.
Now it's my turn to be the pillow.
Okay, then
Hold it right there! Stop, stop!
You can't do that!
You just You can't do that!
Why not?
Yeah, why not?
I mean, you know
You'd be lying on a genuine high
school girl's lap, you know?
My G-cups look pretty sweet from below too.
I could even clean your
ears for you if you'd like.
A special offer for my favorite customer
Could you not make it sound so suspicious?
Getting my ears cleaned by you sounds scary
Huh?
Does this mean
he didn't like the idea of me cleaning
his ears, so he went to you instead?
I guess.
Excuse me a minute.
Do I really seem that incompetent to you?
Yup.
I'm shocked!
I guess you can't stay mad
at that adorable sleeping face.
She must really like him, huh?
Now that I'm here
should I go ahead and clean his ears?
Er, I don't think so.
Aren't you scared to go poking
around in someone else's ear?
Ah, I feel that.
I was kind of scared
when my mom did it for me.
It's like, would you mind not
snooping around in my ears?
Exactly.
In that case, maybe I'll kiss him instead.
Right
Huh?
Higashira-san?
Did you say "kiss" just now?
He'd be none the wiser if I did.
Wait, are you serious?
I'm right here, you know?
I guess so.
Maybe I should wait for
more favorable circumstances.
It'd be my first kiss, after all.
Even more reason not to do it now.
You should really treasure such things.
But if there's anyone I want to
do it with, it'd be Mizuto-kun.
I'm surprised you're able to restrain
yourself while thinking that.
I am trying my best to hold back, you know?
I honestly feel like I'm gonna explode
whenever he ruffles up my hair.
I finally get what's going through
a light novel heroine's head
when her cheeks get all flushed and red.
The all-ages version of a game is plenty fun,
but if you're gonna play, you'd rather
have the 18+ original, you know?
Since we're just buddies, there's only
so much we can do together.
That's just how it is.
Though adding a certain four-letter word
before "buddies" would solve the problem
Hold it.
If that's what you're going for,
I can't support you.
Don't worry. I understand.
Accepting a friend with benefits would be
out-of-character behavior for Mizuto-kun.
I thought you were trying
to be coy with the wording
Getting to discuss this stuff with the
hot model student is quite a turn-on.
You're disgusting.
Well, I'm gonna head home now.
O-Okay.
It was a pleasure to unlock so many
unique character images today.
Like the one of Mizuto-kun's sleeping face.
And of him lying on
his brother-obsessed sister.
I-I'm not obsessed!
Irido-kun
I finally understand why you hesitated then.
When reminiscing about the past
and longing to go back to how things were,
you start wishing to relive things together.
But that's nothing more
than lingering feelings.
And acting on those feelings isn't
worth the destruction it would mean
for our new life together.
The fact that we broke up and the
fact that we became stepsiblings
Neither thing can be erased.
Irido
Hey, hey! Yume!
What is it, Mom?
What's really going on between
Higashira-san and Mizuto-kun?
What do you mean?
I mean, you know?
She's been coming over all the time,
even though it's summer break.
Oh
I think they just enjoy each other's company.
They really do, don't they?
She did tell me she was his ex
But maybe she's just hiding the fact
that they're dating because she's shy!
Who knows?
Well, they did watch another
movie together today.
My goodness!
And? What then?
What do you mean? That's the end.
What?
Can't you, you know, give me any details?
Like, did anything happen?
Um
She had her head in his lap at one point.
Whoa!
And then he started stroking her head.
She even got itchy and started
scratching around in her bra.
And right in front of us like it was nothing!
Like a couple who've lived
together for three years?
Aren't they?
But still, don't you think
they kind of suit each other?
Mizuto-kun has a mysterious
quality to him too, right?
I think he'd do well with
free-spirited girl like her, no?
It all depends on how
you look at it, I guess.
You'd better keep your wits about you, Yume!
What?
You've gotta find yourself a nice boyfriend,
or else Mizuto-kun's gonna leave you behind.
Oh, uh Yeah.
I mean, just look at how cute you've gotten.
I'm sure you'll have one in no time!
I don't see it as a competition.
You'll just have to wait.
Aw
I don't see myself with
anyone other than Mizuto.
Did I really say that just now?

But maybe she's just hiding the fact
that they're dating because she's shy!
Who knows?
Well, they did watch another
movie together today.
My goodness!
And? What then?
What do you mean? That's the end.
What?
Can't you, you know, give me any details?
Like, did anything happen?
Um
She had her head in his lap at one point.
Whoa!
And then he started stroking her head.
She even got itchy and started
scratching around in her bra.
And right in front of us like it was nothing!
Like a couple who've lived
together for three years?
Aren't they?
But still, don't you think
they kind of suit each other?
Mizuto-kun has a mysterious
quality to him too, right?
I think he'd do well with
free-spirited girl like her, no?
It all depends on how
you look at it, I guess.
You'd better keep your wits about you, Yume!
What?
You've gotta find yourself a nice boyfriend,
or else Mizuto-kun's gonna leave you behind.
Oh, uh Yeah.
I mean, just look at how cute you've gotten.
I'm sure you'll have one in no time!
I don't see it as a competition.
You'll just have to wait.
Aw
I don't see myself with
anyone other than Mizuto.
Did I really say that just now?
