02x01 - Who Was Umino-kun's First Love?

[bunniefuu]

There was an accident that day.

The two of us, who happened to be born
on the same day at the same hospital,

were swapped at birth.

The son of a poor eatery owner, Umino Nagi.

The daughter of a well-off
hotel tycoon, Amano Erika.

We met on our 17th birthday
and learned that we were engaged.

We began our life together
despite our apprehensions.

I became involved with Segawa-san, my crush
and my school's most capable student,

and my adoptive sister, Sachi,
in a complicated bundle of relationships.

And now, there's one more.

Episode 1: Who's Umino-kun's First Love?

I'll be here, in your care, going forward.

I won't live my life simply following
the tracks laid down by my parents!

I absolutely refuse!

And to think I'd have to marry
someone chosen by my parents...

I may as well be dead!

Don't you agree?

Ma'am!

Yes, Umino-kun.

So you ran away from home because
you didn't want to meet your fiancé.

Is that correct?

I'm not running away from home!

I'm going to w*r!

So badass!

I thought Hiro-chan was just
a soft, ditzy honor student.

I can't believe I asked her to tutor me.

She's utterly merciless.

My fiancé is coming tomorrow unannounced...

There's no taking it back once I meet him.

They're just going to press the issue.

There are two such victims right here.

I can't deny that, I guess.

My parents' happiness and
my own happiness aren't in line!

I'm choosing what happiness means for myself!

Hell yeah!

Onii...

By the way, Segawa-san...

What is it?

I'm all for running away from home,

but I don't know about you doing it
without your parents' permission.

So you're okay with me
marrying my fiancé, then?

Please do live with us here!

Onii...

This is Erika-chan's place, though.

People living here without permission...

I never said I'd tutor you for free, did I?

Oh, it'd be great if you'd live with us!

Erika-onee, you gotta make yourself clear!

That means I get to live with Hiro-chan!

Thanks, Erika-chan.

Of course a well-to-do girl
would be so welcoming.

Okay...

There's just one problem if
we're going through with this:

how we're sharing our rooms.

Indeed.

There are only two rooms upstairs.

It's currently Amano-san and Sachi
in one room and me in the other.

It definitely wouldn't be right for me and
Segawa-san to sleep in the same room, right?

I wouldn't mind.

We were together at the inn, remember?

True...

Nagi-kun's room has a loft.

Hey!

I get to sleep every night
with a view of Segawa-san?!

Yum!

That's not happening!

All three of you are engaged, aren't you?

What are we supposed to do, then?

I'll take the room with the loft.

I'm technically his sister.

Are you sure, Sachi-chan?

Since when do you care?

It's fine.

Onii's going to be living in the loft anyway.

What is this, a prison?

I suppose I'll have to share a room
with him, since we're engaged.

Amano-san?!

The two of us were supposed
to live here together originally.

We're basically going back
to when we first met.

I guess Amano-san wasn't entirely
against living with me.

Then again...

Nagi-kun always peeks in the shower.

And tries to sleep in my bed.

And keeps looking at my panties.

Those were all your fault!

Okay, okay.

Why don't you three girls
share a room together?

I'll take a room by myself.

Nailed it!

That was a perfect answer.

What?

Huh?

Why the storage?

So Amano-san and Sachi are sharing a room,
and Segawa-san is taking my room.

I just need to endure
until Segawa-san goes home.

Besides...

The thought of Segawa-san
sleeping in my bed is kinda exciting.

I'm not marrying someone my parents chose!

That must mean she's thinking
about me, potentially, right?

This is an opportunity!

What is?

Who said you could come in?!

Why wouldn't I? It's a storage room.

What a shock, huh?

I never thought Hiro-chan
would be living with us, too.

I mean, she's more than
welcome as far as I'm concerned.

You're such a dolt. Look at the reality.

Living with someone means you're
going to see each other's flaws.

There's a chance she'll end up hating you.

She might even show a side
of herself that turns you off, too.

Not to worry. She has no such side.

You're that certain?!

You know, I've realized something.

I've been rebelling because I was tired of
my parents making all my decisions for me.

But now I have plenty of freedom, right?

I'm not so sure.

I do!

So, well...

That's why seeing Hiro-chan
today made me think.

My real mom and dad told me
I didn't need to get married.

But if we want to see
all of our parents happy...

That would mean I'd have to marry you.

I guess so, but...

Where'd that come from?

I just never really thought about it until now.

I still want to be on
good terms with my family.

I do get it.

Right?

But I'm against sacrificing ourselves for it.

I don't want to either, idiot!

Goodnight!

She's right, though.

I've never thought about what kind of
marriage would make my parents happy.

Would my parents be happy
if I married Segawa-san?

What even is a happy marriage?

Morning, Umino-kun.

Good morn—

What are you doing?!

I thought I'd make breakfast.

Wait, wait. That's my job.

I can't allow that.

I'm freeloading, after all.

Okay, if you insist...

Does this mean I get to enjoy
Segawa-san's home cooking?!

I knew this would come in handy.

What's that?

It's dried bonito.

Morning.

What's going on?

You woke me up with all the noise.

What?

Hurry, hurry...

Are you working Hiro-chan like a sl*ve?!

Onii, you're the worst!

I need to talk to you both.

Divvying up the chores?

That's right.

If the four of us are gonna be living together,
I think we should decide this now.

Why don't we just have someone do it
whenever they have some time?

Exactly.

Whoever notices it.

And because of that, Segawa-san
always feels obliged to do everything!

First of all, Amano-san, I think you have
about a month's worth of laundry to do.

I figure I can always just buy new clothes.

Sachi!

I thought you were going
to take care of breakfast.

I'm busy with studying.

I'm going to be strict from now on.

Yes, sir.

Chore Duties
Breakfast: Segawa-san
Laundry/Bathroom: Sachi
Cleaning: Amano-san
Late-night snacks: Me
Do anything else that you notice!

And so, Segawa-san will
be in charge of breakfast.

Got it. I'll take care of it.

By the way...

How're the bonito flakes going?

It's a bit challenging in a new environment.

I can't get them shaved to an even thickness.

It's been over an hour now.

Hey, Onii!

The washing machine exploded!

You overloaded it.

Don't try to cut corners.

Hey, Nagi-kun! Get over here!

What?

Look at this.

It's covered in dust.

You have to clean more than just
the parts that you can see.

Those two are unbelievable.

So, uh... how's breakfast coming along?

Umino-kun, you seem to be starving.

I finally found out what the problem was.

The blade was chipped.

It's already noon.

I'm too hungry to move.

I'm gonna die of starvation.

Segawa-san, how's breakfast coming?

I'm finally getting in the swing of things!

I'll shave some flakes for tomorrow, too.

I know! Let's buy pizza!

That's a no-go. We have to
save on our living expenses.

Come on, Onii! I can't!

What is this? It looks so good!

Oyakodon...

Or not?

It's eggs on leftover pork,
so rather than "parent-and-child bowl"...

It's "strangers bowl"!

Let's eat.

Why, though?

It's perfect for us right now.

I was simply reminded today
that the three of us aren't related.

What are you being so pissy about?

Well, it's true, isn't it?

Our parents decided we're engaged,
and we happened to be swapped at birth.

Hey, this is so good!

Sachi's my sister, but not by blood.

Onii, when did you learn to make this?

Not bad, Umino-kun.

It must be my bonito dashi.

So why are we all living together?

What's wrong?

Onii...

Umino-kun?

Why'd I have to go and cry?!

What the hell?!

What were those tears for?

This is too embarrassing. I should study.

Nagi-kun, there are some dishes left to do.

Would you mind doing them yourself?!

There's no privacy in this storage room!

You know, Nagi-kun...

I think you were happy.

Happy?

Yup.

Do tears happen when you're happy, too?

I never knew.

A power outage?

Tonight is horror night.

Yes

No

Have you heard of Kokkuri-san?

What? I haven't.

That Ouija thing you do
with a ten-yen coin, right?

We did it a lot in elementary school.

Ow, ow, ow!

You're mashing my finger!

Shut up, Onii.

Kokkuri-san, Kokkuri-san, we call upon you.

What?!

If you're here, please move to "yes."

No way, seriously?!

It actually moved!

Okay, let's start with an easy question.

Is Erika-chan barefaced
in her Inustagram photos?

Me?!

Yes

It's legit.

You're not fooling me.

Let me ask, then.

Who ate the custard pudding
that I was keeping in the fridge?

I know you did it, Sachi!

You ate the pudding!

And you're the one moving the coin!

E...

Ri...

Ka?!

How did I get caught?!

That was you, Amano-san?!

No way...

Does Kokkuri-san really exist?

Okay, me next.

Who was my first kiss?

What kind of question is that, Sachi?!

Oh?

You've already had a kiss, huh?

Gee, I don't know.

Na...

No way! Nagi-kun?!

No, that was...

You did?

Mi...

E...

Namie?!

Oh, right, Mom.

Mom gets really kissy whens she's drunk.

Though, is it just me,
or are you a bit sweaty, Hiro-san?

Well, it is summer.

Sachi, why aren't you afraid?!

You're possessed by a fox, aren't you?!

I'm pretty sure you're the one who's possessed.

Sachi-chan...

Do you not believe in Kokkuri-san?

When did you get into the costume?

Okay...

Who's Umino-kun's first love?

You'd go there?!

Why not? I may as well, right?

It moved!

A...

I?

It wasn't Hiro-chan?!

Apparently not.

Who's Ai, then?!

What's going on here?!

Come to think of it, Onii used to
be close with a girl by that name.

She wasn't your first love, was she?

Uh, no? What are you even...

I'll wait for your answer to my
confession until the next time we meet!

Kokkuri-san's for real!

Holy crap! That's scary!

A ghost!

Guys?

All three of them vanished?

What the heck is happening?!

Now, here's the question.

Whose name will Umino-kun call first?

What kind of question is that?

Why would he call anyone's name
other than yours, Hiro-san?

Why are you so competitive?

I think it'll be Erika-chan.

They're engaged, after all.

Non, non.

It's always Hiro-chan in these situations.

Wait, wait! I need to calm down!

Here we go!

I'm here! Help me!

He's calling on himself!

Hello?!

And he's begging for help, no less!

I'm in here!

That was disappointing, Umino-kun.

Are you in love with yourself?

I knew it, Onii. You're messed up.

Oh, there you are.

You had me worried, Sachi.

Why?!

That was unexpected.

Okay, we're gonna go grocery shopping.

We'll see you at home later.

Right.

Sachi's at school for summer classes.

I finally get to be home alone for once.

Time for buck-naked summer life!

This is how humanity was meant to be.

What are you doing?

I never knew you used the pool, Onii.

Sachi! You're here?!

Uh-huh.

I just finished summer classes.

S-Sorry, but could you leave me by myself?

Why?

You're naked?!

Shut up!

Don't you dare tell Amano-san or Segawa-san!

Who wouldn't?

And you?

Why are you in the yard?

Like I said, I just got home from school.

The entrance is that way.

I thought it'd be nice to come home
through the yard for once.

Uh-oh, is that a stray cat?

Why is it in our yard?

You've been feeding it in secret, haven't you?

Can't have a freeloader
bringing animals home, can we?

Ow, ow, ow! I'll keep it a secret!

Here you go, Gloomie, eat up.

What kind of cat name is that?

Well, he's on his own all the time.

I'm all that Gloomie has.

Another cat?

I thought you were a loner!
You have a girlfriend?!

It's not even night and
you're acting all horny!

There he goes.

Hey, Onii...

What are you going to do
about getting married?

What's this about?

I mean...

You should give up on Hiro-san already.

You have Erika-onee.

That's none of your business.

Yes, it is!

It's going to decide who becomes my big sister.

What about you, then?

Why me?

Remember what you used to say?

"I hope for a prince on a white horse."

I'm here.

You're the prince?!

Maybe I'll get one!

You never know!

Besides, I might get married, too.

You plan on getting married?!

I told you, you never know.

In that case, why don't you stop meddling?

I'll decide what happens in my life.

It's my choice who I marry.

I told you, no!

I'm not getting married!

So you aren't getting married, either!

What?!

You're being completely incoherent!

Whatever, Onii.

You just need to focus on studying.

We're home!

It's Erika-chan and Hiro-san.

Oh, no! Oh, no!

They're home pretty early.

I wonder why.

Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!

There you are!

You two, chill out!

Uh-huh...

No, you.

Hiro-chan's been abducted!

Umino-tei Diner

Sniff, sniff.

Sniff, sniff...

This scent...

I remember now!

The katsudon lunch!

It's been so long, Umino-tei!

I haven't been here in a decade.

I wonder how Nagi-chan's doing!

Episode 2: Onii Confessed to You, Didn't He?

Onii confessed to you, didn't he?
