>Spring cleaning

>End of the year.

>Miyako.
>You're acting like you've got nothing to do, but have you done your spring cleaning like I told you to?
>Hmm~ Not yet~

>It's the 31st already! Do it right now!
>Eh~ Can't it wait until the New Year?

>If you're not gonna do it right now, how about I clean up every nook and cranny for you?
>I-I'll do it right away...

p51
>It's a mystery

>Cleaning, huh...
>How tedious.
>I'll help you out, Mya-nee!
>Thanks.

>But you better clean your own room, Hinata, or else Mom will get upset with you too.
>I did it on the day I was asked!
>Good girl, Hinata.
>Ehehe.

>Well, even when I'm told to clean, I can only do a moderate amount since Hana-chan and the others come over all the time.
>There's not enough time, after all.

>Then why did you put it off until Mom got upset with you?
>Why, indeed.
>That's what I'd like to know.

p52
>The Whereabouts of the Costumes

>The biggest problem is where to put the various costumes I've made.
>In the past, I always sold the costumes I made on the internet, so they didn't take up much space.
>But now that I've been making them specifically for Hana-chan and co. to wear, they've piled up quite a bit.

>I can't exactly sell them since Hana-chan and the others have worn them. Can't really throw them out either...
>Hmm.

>Maybe I could just hide them deep inside the closet.
>If they're found out... I don't even want to think about that.
>What's wrong, Mya-nee? You've been staring at that outfit for a while now.

>Should I wear it!?
>Have you forgotten we came here to clean up?

p53
>The angel's light

>Oh~
>I wasn't sure if it would suit you, Hinata, but it really does!

>How is it, Mya-nee?
>It's cute~

>Am I an angel!?
>You're a total angel, Hinata!

>Am I a God!?
>I'm not really sure what that is. You'll have to ask Noah-chan.

p54
>The two of them

>Doing this brings back memories.
>It's like before Hana-chan came here.
>You're right!
>Before Hana came over, it was just me and Mya-nee!

>...
>Are you lonely?
>Why would I be?
>Playing with Hana and Noah is so much fun, there's no way I'd be lonely!

>You seem to be enjoying yourself more than before too, Mya-nee!
>...I see.

>Here, Hinata. Put this on too.
>!
>Yeah!

p55
>Shh

>Won't Mom get upset if you shut them up in here?
>She will, so keep quiet about it.
>Shh
>Got it!

>What are you two doing over there?
>!?

>N-Nothing at all.
>Hmm.
>Have you finished cleaning?
>Yeah.

>Alright. I've heated the bath up so head right in.
>Okay~
>Let's get in together, Hinata.

p56
>True feelings

>That was close. Just a little more and she would've found us out.
>Yeah.

>...
>Hey, Mya-nee...
>What is it?

>I did say I wasn't lonely earlier, but the truth is I am a little bit lonely...
>I'm happy that you're enjoying yourself when everyone's around but
>you seem to like it more than when you're just with me.

>But it's just a little bit!
>Really!
>...It's alright. I know how much you love everyone, Hinata.

p57
>Relief

>...Well, it's true I'm a little more calm around just you  compared to when I'm with everyone else.
>Do you know why that is?
>Because it's not fun being with me?
>Bzzt.

>The correct answer is because it's relieving being with you, Hinata.
>...?
>That's a good thing?
>It is.

>It's the best thing.
>The only things that can make me feel calm are my futon and you, Hinata.
>...!

>I'm calm when I'm with you too, Mya-nee!
>Eh~? If I had to pick, aren't you more energetic around me?

p58
>Judging by her sleeping posture

>I'm gonna head to bed.
>It's only 11pm. Don't you want to stay awake until the new year?
>Not interested.
>I'm sleepy, so I'm gonna sleep.

>You should go to sleep too, Hinata.
>Hinata said she wants to take on the challenge this year.
>The challenge?

>Aah.
>You mean she wants to stay awake until the new year?
>Well, it's alright for her to stay up late for today, but...

>isn't she fast asleep already?
>...
>No. She's not flailing her limbs around so she's still just barely awake.

p59
>Wanna be the first.

>Shouldn't you go to sleep now?
>I'm fine...

>Why do you want to stay up til new year's so badly?
>I wanna be the first person to wish you a happy new year.

>...Eh? That's all?
>Is that why you've been trying to stay awake every year?
>Can't you just do it first thing in the morning?
>No!

>It's no good if it's not straight away!
>Why are you so fixated on this?

p60
>To the very limit.

>But you're at your limit, right?
>Overexerting yourself like that won't make me happy, Hinata.
>Uuh~

>But I wanna say it!
>I wanna!
>She's like an infant who got too much sleep.

>Geez~
>Alright.
>I'll wake you up just before the new year, so sleep until them.
>That's okay, right?

>Alright then...
>zzzzzz...
>She's a fast sleeper!

p61
>Desire to sleep < Mya-nee

>11:50pm
>Hinata~ It's almost time for the new year. Wake up~
>Mmm...

>Hinata's so serious when it comes to waking herself up, but it's pretty hard for someone else to wake her up...
>Well, it's only natural she wouldn't wake up from that posture.

>Hi~na~ta~
>Hey~
>...

>If you wake up, I might take you out to play with me~

p62
>Depressed

>Morning, Hinata.
>Mya-nee! Where are you going to play?

>Nowhere. What time do you think it is?
>Then you'll take me out to play tomorrow?
>No, we're not going anywhere tomorrow either.
>That was just a joke I said to wake you up, Hinata.

>...
>Is that so...?

>....Thank you for waking me, Mya-nee...
>Geez~
>Alright, alright. I'll play with you next time, okay?

p63
>New Year's greeting

>Happy new year!
>Look, Hinata. It's the new year.
>Mmm~

>Happy new Mya~
>You're getting it mixed up.

>Wait, she's asleep!?
>While grabbing tightly onto my clothes?
>...Hah... Whatever...

>Happy new year, Hinata.
>Please get along with me this year too.

p64
>Close sisters

>...
>Honestly, these girls...

>I told them not sleep under the kotatsu.
>Hinata's a complicated matter, though...

>...
>What hopeless kids.

>Miyako! Hinata! Aren't I always telling you not to sleep under the kotatsu!?
>!?
>Wh-What the!?
