Sakura
Oh, Haruka, are you watching TV?
The artist you like is on.
Let's sing it together!
And then we held each other tight,
and we shared a kiss...
I don't know how you can sing those lyrics, Haruka...
Huh? You like this, don't you, Yuu-chan?
Sing it with me!
No way.
Stingy...
Okay, then...
What're you eating right now?
Nothing.
All right. A question, then!
What am I eating right now?
Crunch Crunch
Scary! What is that?!
What?
Can't you tell by the sound? It's a rice cracker!
How would I know?! I thought you were eating a bone!
Bone
Bone?!
So, Haruka.
Yes?
What did you need, calling me at this hour?
I wanted to hear your voice...
Y-You went out of your way to call me just for that?
Yeah.
You didn't want to hear my voice, Yuu-chan?
I wanted...
to hear yours, too...
Wow, I can't believe you said that!
Yeesh, what's with you?!
Mitsuki, go get Yuu for me.
Sure.
The Year-End Debut of SBJK
Yeah, yeah! So...
Big Sister
Sh-She sounds like she's enjoying herself...
No way! That's embarrassing!
Yes?
Yuu, Mom says it's time to eat our New Year's soba.
Okay!
Haruka, my mom's calling, so I'll have to cut this short.
What?!
No! You can't cut it!
What're you talking about?
The red thread of fate between us
won't sever even if cut!
I just meant I'm hanging up the phone!
I want to keep talking to you...
I can just call you back after.
What are you saying?
You won't be able to get through then,
with all the New Year's calls coming in!
You're the one I want to give my first New Year's greeting to!
That's why you don't want me to hang up?
Longevity
"Happy New Year."
New Year's Greetings
There, now you're the first.
It isn't the new year yet!
I'm hanging up now. My New Year's soba will get cold.
You're having soba, Yuu-chan?!
Yeah, homemade by my mom.
It's delicious!
Which is more important,
your mom's New Year's soba or me?!
My mom's New Year's soba, obviously!
It can't be!
You're going to have New Year's soba too, aren't you?
You can't eat while you're on the phone.
We never have them...
What?! Then what do you have?
We already ate... all the Christmas leftovers!
What?!
Expires xx.12.31
It was within the expiration date!
And yet you're so particular about New Year's greetings?
Wh-What's wrong with being particular?!
The greeting is important!
If we can't get through by phone, we can just do it tomorrow morning.
No!
By then, you'll have already said "Happy New Year"
to your parents and President Mitsuki!
I guess...
That's not good enough!
I have to be your number one!
So your jealousy has finally reached this level...
Dad
Dad Big Sister Mother
You're even jealous of my family...
I-I didn't mean it like that!
If you don't hang up,
I'll call you a jealous woman from now on.
No! Don't!
"Jealous High School Girl," (Shitto-Bukai Joshi Kousei)
SBJK-san for short.
Happy New Year!
No! No, no!
Morning, SBKJ-san!
Stop!
How're you doing, SBJK-san?
Yuu? Your New Year's soba is getting soggy.
What's keeping you?
I totally fell for your trick! You darn SBJK!
Fidget Fidget
You're the one who got too into it.
You're talking to Haruka-san?
Yeah.
Little Sister
I'm jealous...
I wish I could talk to her, at least before the year ends...
No, that's not it!
I don't think there's anything wrong
with wishing someone a good year!
Ahem.
Y-Yuu!
You shouldn't talk on the phone for so long!
It's okay. Haruka's the one paying the charge.
That's right, President Mitsuki.
That's not the issue here!
I know!
While you're eating your soba, I'll talk to President Mitsuki!
Huh?!
You can't.
We eat our New Year's soba together as a family.
Don't be selfish.
Onee-chan, you want to eat soon too, don't you?
I...
I already finished mine...
Since you were taking so long on the phone...
Why am I lying?!
You already ate?!
I-I did.
No fair!
You totally left me out!
Little Sister Big Sister
Big Sister
Haruka
Jeez!
Haruka
Hello? Is this President Mitsuki?
Now that we're actually talking, I don't know what to talk about...
Hello?
Hello?
Gulp
H-Haruka-san, good evening.
Good evening, President.
There's not much time left in this year, huh?
Yes, it went by in the blink of an eye.
Wh-What're you planning to do for the end of the year?
This is going fine. I'm talking to her just like normal.
The end of the year?
That's a funny one.
It's not going fine at all!
I meant the beginning of the year!
I can't believe you'll be graduating in three more months.
It'll be lonely without you...
What're you talking about?
We've got three whole months left! Save the solemn moods until then!
You'll all be the upperclassmen next,
so you have to hold it together.
We don't have any more underclassmen entering, though...
Act as if you do have underclassmen! Do you understand?
Y-Yes!
If I recall correctly,
your grade will have a closing ceremony in addition to the graduation ceremony.
A closing ceremony?
I don't know exactly what they'll do for it, either.
But you've got to enjoy it enough to make up for the events other schools have that you won't.
Tangerine
I'm planning to attend, too, so do your best!
Okay!
Onee-chan!
What is it?
You didn't eat your New Year's soba yet!
Why did you lie?!
Because you took so long coming down!
And how did you know I lied?
Because Mom and Dad are waiting!
Oh, dear...
They're still not here?
You kept your parents waiting?
That's right! Because you were selfish, Haruka.
Little Sister
I-I'll go down first...
I understand...
I'll hang up, then.
Sorry for being selfish,
Yuu-chan.
Wait!
You know...
The truth is, I, um...
I want to keep talking to you forever, too...
Also, you're number one in my heart, Haruka.
I... I know that!
I know that...
but I still get this way.
I know that, too.
Because you're the jealous type.
So, listen up, okay?
Yuu-chan?
What was that sound?
Th-The sound of me giving you a kiss!
A-Aren't you going to give me a kiss?
Well, I'm going now, okay?
Okay.
Thanks, Yuu-chan.
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year.
End
I can't believe you'll be graduating in three more months.
It'll be lonely without you...
I wonder why Haruka-san said
she wanted to talk to me...
No, she just genuinely wanted to talk to me!
Because she felt lonely that I'm going to graduate soon...
You'll be graduating... It'll be lonely without you...
Lonely... Lonely...
Haruka-san felt lonely!
Sequel: A Sour Mission?!
I instantly responded with that senpai-like speech,
but maybe what Haruka-san really wanted to say was...
I'm lonely...
I want to see you, President Mitsuki...
No, that would never happen!
But... Then, why did she want to talk to me?
Oh, for crying out loud!
Haru Little Sister
Ah, President Mitsuki!
Good morning.
It's cold, isn't it?
Y-Yes...
Onee-chan, you're not at school already?
Yuu
We're gonna beat you there!
So cold...
Yuu-chan.
You're so warm!
It's hard to walk! Let me go, Haruka.
Stare
Nope! I haven't walked with you like this in too long!
Yuu links arms with Haruka-san without a care.
What're you going on about?
Huh?!
Was I just jealous of Yuu?!
That didn't happen! I didn't think that!
Oh, President, good morning.
Why're you kneeling down?
Big Sister
U-Um, sorry, I couldn't stop myself...
What's the matter?
I was watching Yuu and Haruka-san,
and I started feeling sort of strange...
M-Maybe... I should give it a try, too...
What, exactly?
Squeeze Squeeze
This! This!
Linking arms!
Good for you! You did it!
Now, now, President Mitsuki...
Who is it you want to link arms with?
Huh?
Uh...
H-Haruka-sa— Wait, no, I didn't mean that...
Scary
With Y-Yuu...
You don't need us for that.
Do that all you want, when you get home!
But it's embarrassing! We're sisters!
I don't think Yuu would be too bothered by it...
Is that something sisters are opposed to?
No... But then, my sister is a lot younger than me...
Why don't you just run up and link them right now?
She ran off ahead earlier.
They went into a back alley, actually...
To do what?!
Is this a shortcut?
No, it's actually a longer way around.
Why would they need to go this way?
Kaede, how are we on time?
Yeah, still plenty of time before homeroom.
All right, President Mitsuki!
Let's tai—
...go and get you to link arms!
Yeah!
You were about to say "tail them"...
Kaede, was there anything up ahead here?
Hm... A park, I think?
A park? This is making less and less sense.
Otherwise, I think it's just a residential area.
Maybe they're doing some kind of secret arm linking
that they don't want anyone else to find out about.
Little Sister Big Sister
What's that supposed to mean? You're joking, right?
What does that mean?!
Misato West Park
Here we are!
They're not here...
Maybe in there?
Haruka, Yuu!
What were you doing in there?
Uh, well...
We were planning to talk to you and the others about it today,
but President Mitsuki is graduating soon, right?
So we were thinking,
to express our gratitude for everything—
Wait, President Mitsuki?!
She heard!
I'm so bad at hiding surprises...
Yuu-chan figured me out last time, too...
I didn't hear anything.
President Mitsuki...
Don't any of you be late.
That's all I wanted to say.
Well, I've got to be going now.
Big Sister
You're not going to link arms with Yuu?
Never mind that.
The strange feeling I had before seems to have disappeared.
Watch out!
Onee-chan!
What a klutz!
Big Sister
Oh, no!
Oww...
President Mitsuki, are you oka—
Huh?
She ran away at top speed.
Well, shall we get going, too?
Yeah!
They could have talked to us about that in the classroom...
Why did they purposely go to the park?
End
Yuzu-chan Becomes the Wind!
Commuting by scooter... That's so cool.
What are you doing, first thing in the morning?
You mentioned you got your license.
I was waiting to see what you'd ride in on.
Weren't you cold?
I'm fine. In fact, I'm hot.
Why?
Dangle
I thought I'd stash this in Haruka's desk.
What is that?!
It was in a subculture shop.
I just couldn't wait, so I ran all the way here!
You're so...
You don't have your license, Kaede?
I was born in February, so...
Oh, so you can't yet.
What'd you do to practice?
Y-You're gonna get your own license, right?
You'll find out soon enough.
Is it something you can't say?
Did you...
run over somebody?
I did not!
I didn't... probably.
"Probably"?
Driver's License Examination
Well, to be specific...
Okay, start your engines.
You'll each start out slowly, one at a time.
I taught you that the accelerator is on the right handle, yes?
Hey! Who said you could go?!
Tough
I'm sorry!
He's a tough teacher...
I was scared before,
but now that I'm used to it, it's kinda fun!
I took the curves cleanly!
I feel like I could keep on going forever...
Is that what you thought?
No!
She saw through me!
First-morning!
Second-morning!
Now, then, Yuzu.
Yeah, yeah. The math homework, right?
No!
What? Was it English?
I didn't say anything about showing me your homework!
Just tell me what you want! Don't get so worked up!
This. What do you think I should do?
What's that?
Chill
My math notes.
When I was trying to do my homework,
my brother and sister were all, "Play with us!"
So then...
What did you play to make it look like that?!
Kaede-oneechan, I want to play house!
Then I'll play the role of the high schooler slammed with homework.
Mom
Here, dear.
Indeed.
Kaede, dinner is ready.
I'm doing homework right now!
So you're saying you can't eat your mom's cooking, huh?
Go get her!
Dear, you forgot your tie.
Oh, sorry, sorry.
Huh? "Dear"?
You're treating him more like a familiar, though!
Hey, Kaede!
Old man, don't interrupt your daughter's studies.
Your food's going to get cold!
Then help me with my homework.
We will!
I spilled my juice, Onee-chan.
Ah! Just don't get it on the floor. I finally got this room to myself!
Your notes are stuck together, Onee-chan.
Pull them apart gently!
It ripped, Onee-chan.
Something like that.
What to say about that...
You really made them help you with a high school assignment?
It can't be helped... Let's go to the convenience store.
Go with loose leaf from now on.
I want to ride with you!
*This is a violation of traffic laws!
Not happening!
Then, that thing the neighborhood boys do!
*This is a violation of traffic laws!
That's dangerous! We're walking!
I thought it sounded fun.
Yeesh, you're hopeless. You'll never get your license, Kaede.
They only give them to people who follow the traffic rules.
I see. Sorry about that.
You're not giving your brother and sister any weird ideas, are you?
I am.
Hey.
But, my brother and sister
are good kids at heart.
Should I consider those the words of an overindulgent sister?
Thank you very much!
All right. Now I just need to take a look at yours and I'm set.
Hey.
I'm kidding.
Here.
Touch
It's for you.
That's cold, darn it!
It's Haruka and Yuu!
Hey!
You shook it, didn't you?
I opened the one I meant to give you...
Hey!
Morning, Yuzu-chan, Kaede-chan!
Mornin'!
Mornin'!
Kaede-chan, what's wrong?
Nothing.
Oh, Kaede-chan.
Something's sticking out of your pocket.
It deviated from my plan, but I still got a good reaction!

Hey, hey, Yuzu-chan.
What?
Why does Onee-chan call you "Tangerine-san"?
That's what I'd like to know.
Huh? You didn't tell her to call you that?
Of course not!
But Onee-chan's memory is usually really good...
Ah...
What?
Uh, n-nothing!
You're hiding something!
