Previous chapter: https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/288448847>Home 206: An emergency meeting, convened.>Sidebar: The same familiar scene... Time for a meeting.>What did you say!?>[The sisters' nth meeting...]>"Family" and "love"...>Are as far from each other as you can get...?>Yeah...>I've... Looked at books like that, too.>Covers: I can't love my brother, The childhood friend is the losing heroine>About how love can't flourish between people who already have a close relationship.>(Still, you're also concerned for that gal, aren't you?)>(I mean, I guess...)>In other woooords, it's kinda like this?
>We say that you become a "family" when you get married...>But,>Lovers != Family -> Family = Married - Can't become love>you can't get get to the previous step of "lovers" if you're *already* "family".>Yeah.>(Hmmm...)>Still, aren't you over-reacting?>I mean, just look at the amount of forbidden love between siblings and family>in theater.>You just said yourself that it's *forbidden*, didn't you?>Also, don't bring theater into this.>But, you're right...>Is it actually true?>I mean, aren't the Twin Stars and the student council guys in love, even though they've been together since they were kids?
>See?>You can't just go and say that it's unconditionally impossible.>Buuut...>We're dealin' with Yuu-kun here...>He's real hung up on "family"...>If someone thinks of you as family, your chances of makin' their heart race are as good as zero.>Y'can even *prove* it with the science of love!>...The science of love?>Has she been studying this...?>(Ah!)>Wait...>So, the reason I couldn't make his heart pound romantically when we got close in the bath that one time...>It was 'cause of that...?
>It was 'cause he saw me as "family"!>Not 'cause I wasn't alluring or anythin'!>Man, I'm feelin' better about my chances again!>This is awesome!>What was that about a bath?>N-nothin' at all!>(Hmph) Well, I'm not familiar with the "science of love" or anything like that,>but love isn't something you achieve with *technique*.>It's created from a true *connection* you and your partner share in your hearts.
>...Kazuki.>You've been acting awfully composed this whole time, haven't you?>Well, I mean...>He...>Cried over me, after all...>Huh?
>You both saw it, too.>He was in tears over learning that I would be staying at the house, was he not?>Doesn't that mean that he's already interested in me?>That was because you're "family"!>Yeah, yeah!>'sides, Yuu-kun cried when I won my title match, too!>(Bweeeeh!)>Tryin' to use tears to put yourself ahead ain't gonna work, Kazu-nee!>Surely, those were tears over the way you managed to turn the match around at the last moment.>My tears were of a completely different kind.>Whaaaaa!?
>(There ain't no different kinds of tears!)>(Wrong! There totally are!)>...He didn't cry at all back during my match...>(Actually, I was the one who was crying...)>A-anyway!>We don't know anything about love!>We've got no choice but to trust the treasurer's words!>The fact is, we're livin' together... So what should we do now...?>This is tough...>Hmm...
>Then again, he did cry over of me...>...She's going to keep milking that for the rest of her life, isn't she?>(It's pissing me off...)>(Mrgrgr...)>...Wait...>It's simple...>All we gotta do...>Is make him stop thinkin' of us as "family", even for just a moment.>What!?
>Sh-should we just say that to Yuu outright?>I won't be "family" with someone like you!>That'd just make him sad!>The reason we can't make Yuu-kun's heart race is 'cause in his mind, we're "family"!>We won't get anywhere if we can't change his perception of us!>...Change his...>Perception?>Accordin' to the psychology of love,>there are moments when a target that isn't falling in love can become conscious of you.>Book: Love science for beginners>(...What's with that book...?)>(So she really *has* been studying this...)>That is to say...
>Moments where he becomes conscious of you as a "member of the opposite sex"!>Book: Love isn't developing - Make him conscious of you as a member of the opposite sex>Th-the opposite sex...?>Like, try wearin' cute clothes that you don't usually wear!>Or emphasizin' your figure!>Huh...? She's kind of different from usual...>If you can make 'im think that, it's your victory!
>H-hey, wait! Haven't we already done a whole lot of that!?>And look where it's gotten us...>Whiteboard: Miwa's Love Course>That's just it!>Up until now, whenever he's been with us,>(I'll do my best!)>(Supporter)>Yuu-kun's always been actin' as our "supporter"!>Y-you mean, we've got to make him drop *that* mental image as well...!?>If we want to crush that impression, we need an extremely advantageous situation...>Which is...
>Whiteboard: Different feel from usual -> TRIP>A TRIP!>(A trip?)>If we're family when we're just together normally every day, then we need a situation that's different from normal!>Thus, a trip!>We gotta leave the house!>But, Miwa... >I don't think Yuu would come with us on just a regular trip.
>It won't be just a regular trip.>It'll be *Kazu-nee's graduation trip*.>(Ooh!)>B-but...>Is Kazuki really gonna let us use her graduation as an excuse for that...?>Hmph.>Of course, I wouldn't normally agree to such a thing,>but, seeing as I monopolized Yuu for a whole week earlier...>I suppose I can allow it.>Besides...
>He did cry at the thought of me not being here...>(Kazuki-san...)>...Let's just leave it at that.>...Still...>If we go as "family", won't it be a "family trip"...?>No matter! You do what you have to do!>All right!>Time to get plannin'!>Whiteboard: Kazuki's graduation trip plan
>[First day of a three-day vacation...]>A trip with everyone...>(*Excited*)>And to think that they invited me to come, too...>For the next three days...>Listen up!>This is purely a trip!>If you try to support us, we'll send you flying!>I'll take them up on their kind offer.>...But, even so...>(*Shut*)>There you are,>Yuu.
>Prepare yourself,>Yuu...>By the time this trip is over...>We'll have you thinkin' of us as GIRLS!>They're...>Amazing as always, but...>Wh-what's with this feeling of bloodlust...?>Bottom text: A high-octane, decidedly "un"-family trip begins!Thanks for reading!
