Be Careful, Onee-san ch22

p1
>Well then, we'll now be entering free time, which includes lunch.

>Even if it is an excursion, don't go too wild,
>try not to bother the people around you,
>and don't wander too far from the plaza.
>Got it?

>Okay~!

p3
>Well then, let's commence the strategy meeting!
>Huh?

>What're you talking about?
>Don't be silly, Hime-chan.

>We're talking about how to get you and Tae-chan together.
>Mmgh

>Can't she just confess?
>Not that I'd know.
>Hmm.

>...That Onee-san may look kind, but she's pretty stubborn.
>Try to push a confession could have the opposite effect.

p4
>>cough
>Stop calling me Hime-chan.
>That's what you're worried about?
>On the other hand, she's an adult who's a fair few years older than you,
>so you won't make any progress if you fall behind...

>...I appreciate it,
>but let's not talk about this during the excursion.
>What are you saying?
>We're always willing to lend you a hand, Hime-chan.

>...That's...
>Thanks...

>But of course.
>We're best friends, right?
>Ah. She's just doing this because it's funny.

p5
>For starters, rather than a careless offensive,
>just make sure you're always close to Onee-san.
>...That's it?

>You'll make her think "why is this girl always by my side?".

>She'll think "Hime-chan might be in love with me".
>She'll be troubled.
>Yuki, lemme have one of your sides.
>The more Tae-san worries,
>the more her head will become filled with Hime-chan.

>Do this,
>and she'll become aware of you.
>This is the first step.
>???

>...What are you talking about?

p6
>Just by being close to Onee-sama,
>I can make her fall in l-... love with me?
>Nope. That alone won't be enough.

>What does that mean!?
>The purpose of this
>is to make Onee-san conscious of you.

>Don't rush. Take your time...
>turning Onee-san from a "guardian" to a "lolicon"...
>It's just like cookery.
>That's quite a thing to be saying...

>Or rather, you seem awfully well-versed in that kind of thing...
I have lots of big sisters.
>They teach me all kinds of things.

p7
>I kinda get it, but kinda don't.
>So basically...

>I'm talking about finding space in that onee-san's head
>for you to squeeze into, Hime-chan...

>Well,
>Thanks for the food.
>Huh!? Where are my side dishes...!?
>What should we do next?
>It's fine.

>Hey~!

p8
>I borrowed some badminton rackets.
>Wanna play together?

>Ooh! Sure!
>Let's do it!
>Eh?
>We're gonna exercise...?

>Ah.
>But we don't have enough rackets.
>I'll go borrow another one!

>Hold on, Mai-san.
>That's won't be necessary.
>I've just finished eating, so...

p9
>Ran wants to be the referee!
>Eh?

>Then we've got two evenly split teams.
>Eh?

>Let's go~

>Yeah!
>Why...?

>Pi~
>What a pathetic whistle.

p10
>There!

>Come to think of it,
>it's almost Christmas.
>You're right!

>Ran-chan and I were talking about spending it with our families.
>What's everyone else planning?

p11
>In my case...
>it's the same as usual...
>Hime-chan's house gets really busy, huh?
>Ah, that's right!

>The other day, Sensei asked if anyone wanted to decorate trees for the shopping district.
>Aah.
>That volunteer thing?

>Me and Hitomi-chan are taking part.
>We were talking about going to see it with the Onee-sans.
>Huh!?
>You're getting one over on me again...

>If you're free, Houjou-san, wanna join us?
>Pyu~
>Eh?
>I-I wonder...

>Hah
>Just make sure you're always close to Onee-san.

p12
>If Onee-sama's gonna be there, I'll join in too!
>Yay!

>But I haven't invited Onee-san yet.
>I only decided on it today.
>Oh, is that so?

>It can't be helped!
>I'll be the one to invite her!

>I'll be able to get closer to Onee-san that way.

>Hmm.

p13
>Not gonna happen.

p14
>That's too fast!
>Sorry!!
>You're not hurt, are you!?

>Fu
>Fufu...

>Should I take this
>as a declaration of war?

>Decluh... What's that?
>You're not tense at all! Geez!!

p15
>Whoever wins this badminton match
>will get to invite Onee-sama.

>This'll be our revenge match following the bowling!!

p16
>You're on.

>I was so rushed this morning that I forgot to buy lunch.

p17
>What should I have for lunch today?
>Well, I'm just gonna hit the usual convenience store, though.

>Mai-chan and the others should be having lunch right now...
>I wonder if they're enjoying the excursion?

>Geez! Where am I?
>This is totally wrong!

>This is why I'm bad with map apps.
>Erm...

>...
>Um...

p19
>...Are you lost?
>Wha-

>...I am not lost.
>Urk.
>I always get glared at when I try to talk to people...

>I guess she's in middle... grade school?
>What's she doing here
>in the middle of a weekday?

p20
>You're looking at a map?
>Is there perhaps... a place you want to go?

>...
>...Um.

>I heard there was a bakery around here
>that's famous for their croissants.
>Do you know about it?

>A bakery...

>Now that you mention it, Azuma-san said there was one that opened up recently.
>I believe it's...

p21
>Yep!
>I think I know the one.
>I'll take you there!
>Ah...
>No, you don't have to.

>It's fine!
>I was hankering for some bread myself.

>...

>You're such a troublesome girl.
>Does she think I'm younger than her...!?

p22
>You don't have to hold my hand.
>Ah, yeah.
>Force of habit...
