>It's no good...?
>>cough
>>cough
>That's right.
>For now, don't push yourself and rest
>>cough
>until you're completely back to...
>>COUGH
>You're seriously not fine at all!

p4
>Well, I'll commend you for not pushing yourself until you collapsed like last time.
>Really?
>And you were definitely right to call me
>instead of Kotori or Umi.
>Those two get way too worked up
>HONOKA-CHAN
>AAAAAAAAH

>...The Live's coming up
>and I was scared
>that someone would catch it if they nursed me so I couldn't say anything...
>>cough
>What the heck?
>You don't need to worry that much.

>Everyone in u's is indispensable.
>Honoka...
>That's why I called you, Nico-chan.
>WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!?

p5
>I'm just kidding...
>I just figured that Nico-chan
>would be good at nursing people...

>...Honestly.

>I do have experience with my little sisters
>but you're a first-born too so you need to shape up.
>Ehehe...
>Anyway, you should leave early today.
>Eeh...

>No whining. Doctor's orders.
>Geez, fine...

>Nico-chan is so stubborn.
>Even though she has small boobs.
>WHAT'S MY BOOBS GOT TO DO WITH ANYTHING!?

p6
>Hello? Is this Yamada-sensei?
>It's Yazawa from the third year.

>Things look bad so I'm taking her home!

p7
>Right.
>I've got permission to leave early.
>You should call your parents too, Honoka.
>Ah...

>...Both of my parents are out today...
>The shop's closed for the day...
>Eh?
>So you'll be by yourself even if you go home?

>I'll be fine.
>I'm not a kid...
>What are you saying while swaying like that?

>But I wonder if I can make it home...
>I'm not really confident...
>...

p8
>...Why
>are we linking arms?

>Well, if I don't support myself
>I might fall over...

>At least lean against me.
>Actually, haven't you gotten heavier?
>Eh... Only by
>two or three kilogrammes.
>HUH!?

p9
>Weren't you just on a diet a little while ago!?
>How did you get fatter again!?
>That's cos...
>Uuh
>Kogane Rice is so
>delicious.
>You're echoing in my head...
>You went to that store!!?

>That's why your body's in such a wreck.
>Ehe...
>Look, we're at your house.

>Where's your key?
>Erm... It's somewhere that's a little hard to reach...
>Alright. I'll get it for you.
>Thank you.

p10
>On the inner part of the right side
>is a tiny flowerpot.
>We left it under there.
>Oh...
>It really is in a hard to reach spot.

>Well, whatever.
>I'll just leave my bag here.
>Okay~

>Let's see, on the inner part of the right side...
>A tiny flowerpot...
>Ah!
>This must be it.

p11
>...
>There's nothing there.

>Is it really here?
>Ah, now that you mention it...

>That place got a bad rep
>for being hard to reach and getting you dirty...

>So our family gave each one of us
>our own key.
>Man
>I totally forgot
>YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE, DIDN'T YOU?

p12
>I'm...
>finally home...
>I feel so accomplished...

>...Nico-chan.
>Hm?
>I'll leave your bag here.
>Got that?
>Do whatever you want... with me...
>YES. I WILL NURSE YOU THROUGHLY.

>I'll make you some porridge
>so change your clothes and wait for me.

>Yeah...
>I'll strip.
>Keep at it until you're dressed!

p13
>I'm done...
>Wait, huh?
>She's asleep.

>I wanted to say "I made it just for you so eat up"
>but it's probably best to let her rest.

>...

p14
>Honoka...
>has a surprisingly
>pretty face...

>W-Wait!?
>No no no no no!?

>Wh-
>Why is my heart beating this much!?
>Did I catch her cold?
>O-Oh yeah, I need to wipe off her sweat.
>AH

p15
>...
>Sh-
>She didn't wake up, right?

>...The heck?
>She's sleeping just fine.

p16
>This is why...
>you tick me off.

>The people around me.
>My family.
>You helped me understand those things.
>I used to be someone who couldn't leave my tiny clubroom.

>You forcibly pulled me forward
>and showed me a scenery that I have always been longing to see.

p17
>But you
>don't even realise your own greatness.
>Th-They're delicious?
>>Sandpack Meat and Potatoes

>No matter how much appreciation I show
>you don't realise it one bit.
>You don't show any sign that it's reached you.

>That's why this
>is a punishment.

>If you don't notice even when I go this far
>then it's entirely your fault...

p18
>Onee-chaaan!
>MKYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>Huh? Nico-senpai?
>Y-Yukiho-chan!? What are you doing here?

>I got a call from Kotori-chan.
>HONOKA-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN
>Eh? Onee-chan got a fever and went home early?
>You did well to understand her.

p19
>Aw man...
>Hah hah
>If I knew you were gonna be here, Nico-senpai,
>I would've taken my time getting home...
>W-Well
>I only got permission to leave temporarily?

>What about you, Yukiho-chan?
>I got permission to leave early today too.
>I see. That's a relief.

>Well then,
>I better get back to school.
>Eh? Leaving already?
>I'd feel guilty for just relying on you.
>At least rest for a bit...

p20
>It's fine.
>I'm the president, after all.

>Alright
>Take care of things from here.
>R-Right...

>Um.
>Thank you so much.
>It's fine.

>...
>I knew it.

p21
>I really should've took my time
>coming home.

>The next day.

>Woah.
>That's high...

>The heart-pounding I had yesterday
>was just a cold after all...
>Geez...

p22
>That's no good, Nico-chan. You need to take care of yourself.
>The Live's coming up, after all.
>Uuh...

>I-I can handle this much.
>No.

>You need to not push yourself and rest
>until you're completely recovered~
>GODDAMMIIIIIT!!

p23
>Leader's orders.
>Argh, fine, I get it...

>Honestly...
>You show no mercy even against the one who nursed you yesterday...

>...
>I guess so.

>You don't notice even when I go this far.
>You're such a bad girl.
>...The heck?
>It's creepy when you get all honest all of a sudden...

>...
>That's why

p24
>we'll have to continue
>yesterday's punishment, won't we?

>...Y-
>You were awake?
>Of course!
>Man, you were so bold, Nico-chan.
>You're wrong...!! That was cos of the cold...

p25
>Eh~ Then
>maybe I'm not cured of my cold yet?
>...You
>sure act like you know a lot.

>Now.
>Who can say?

>Now then, I'm gonna be the nurse today...
>Th-

p26
>This is why...
