Big Stepsis vs Little Stepsis ch20

p1
>A lot of stuff happened
>and Shio was able to close the distance between her and Kafka-chan a little.
>Kafka-chan.
>Shio-san.
>However,
>not even Shio could predict that this would be what triggers the next stepsister battle.

>Kafka-sama... is making such a smile.

>Okay.

>Kafka-sama!
>Um...
>The teacher's calling for you.
>In the staff room...

>Understood.
>Well then, Shio-san,
>I'll be right back.
>Take care~

p2
>Thank goodness.
>On top of making up with Kafka-chan,
>we've gotten a little closer too.
>If I can keep this up, we can get even closer...
>Um...

>Amamiya-san.

>Erm... You're in my class.
>S-
>Sorry for the late introduction.
>I'm Tsubasa Otome.

>?
>What's wrong?

p3
>That girl... isn't here, is she?
>The one with the eyepatch...
>Ah.
>Mei-chan.
>>I'm a solitary girl.
>She's not the type who likes tagging along.
>Tagging along...!?

>That's a relief then.
>Eh?
>Just talking to myself.

>Amamiya-san.
>I've called you here today to get your permission.

>Permission?

p4
>I'll cut to the chase.
>Please give the right to steal away Kafka-sama,
>Onee-sama!

p5
>O-...
>Onee-sama!?

>Wait, not that.
>Y-You wanna steal away
>Kafka-chan...!?
>What does that even mean!?

>Basically, I want your permission to become
>her l-l-l-l-l-lover!

>Lover...
>That's right!

p6
>I first met Kafka-sama in the middle school division... one a certain summer's day...
>She's started monologuing!?

>Phew...
>It was really hot that day.

>You dropped something,
>little kitten.
>>Kafka
>Ah.
>Thank you very much.
>Little kitten!?
>Sorry... I got a little worked up.

p7
>In that moment, I had fallen in love.

>Ah...

>But it was only afterwards that I would learn how popular Kafka-sama was at school.
>She was known as "the unattainable flower".

>Because of that, it became difficult for me to get closer or even talk to her again.
>There's so many rivals too...
>Hold on a sec!
>What's that got to do with me?

>Kafka-sama has softened up quite a bit recently
>and it's clear that it happened after you came to this school!

p8
>That's why, um...
>I figured this could be one chance to pull it off...
>Pull it off...?

>We can go shopping together,
>watch movies together,
>kiss in an empty classroom after school.
>That kind of thing...
>K-...

>Kiss!?

p9
>No way! She's way too early for that!
>What are you saying?
>Guhehe...<3
>That's a natural thing for lovers to do.

>Right now, that's the biggest hurdle keeping us from being in a relationship.
>You're saying that with zero certainty that you'll get together!?
>That's exactly why, Amamiya-san...
>no, future Onee-sama, I need your help!
>Please!
>Onee-sama...

>>I don't have permission to give...
>I mean
>I don't really stick my neck into Kafka-chan's private life,
>but I guess I can at least introduce you.
>I knew it...!
>!?
>You knew it!?

p10
>I knew you'd give me your support!
>Even if you're stepsiblings, you're still family!

>There's no chance of you being in love with her.
>You're just someone who lives under the same roof as her.
>Nothing more, nothing less. An existence like the air itself!

>You didn't have to go that far...
>We've only just started to get along, though.
>Haha...

>Splendid!
>That's just perfect!

p11
>Well then,
>I'll send you a message if I'm ever worried about something.
>R-
>Right...

>Well then, this makes us "allies".

>Don't go betraying me now,
>Onee-sama<3

>>Unbeknownst to her little sister, a secret relationship is developing...!?
