Big Stepsis vs Little Stepsis ch21

p1
>Shio was asked a favor
>Please mediate
>between me and Kafka-sama<3
>Sure...
>by her classmate Otome-chan.

>Well then.
>The first step towards dating
>is to leave no stone unturned.
>Please ask Kafka-sama what her love life is like.

>But
>asking her that all of a sudden sound likes a tall hurdle...

>Aah...
>Kafka-sama getting bewildered by a barrage of questions...
>I'd want to see it with my own eyes if I could.

>P-Please wait.
>I'm not mentally prepared yet...
>Ooh...

p2
>P-...
>Poor little Otome-chan.
>Geez.
>I guess I'll have to burn it into my eyes in your place.
>You sure seem excited.

>Woooah...
>I-...

>Is this okay?
>I'm getting worried all of a sudden.

>Well,
>I know I said I'd do it, but...
>Leave no stone unturned<3
>I don't have much experience with romance myself,
>so I'm not sure where to start...

>Guess I should ask Otome-chan.
>Erm, Otome-chan...
>I've been waiting for you!
>That was fast.

p3
>How about having her take in some romantic movies or manga to get her in the mindset?
>You should be able to slip in some questions naturally that way.
>But I don't really know a lot about those...
>Bit late, I know.

>I figured you'd say that, so I've sent you a list of recommendations.
>She's really hungry.

>Okay!
>This is all for the sake of getting Kafka-chan all flustered...
>I need to study hard!

p4
>Shio-san...
>is eager to study...!?
>Gonna play social games
>until morning~

>She must be studying for the midterms that are coming up...

>I'm not sure why the sudden change of heart,
>but I'll bring her something to drink later...
>>Honey
>>Milk

>Ehehe...
>And if all goes well,
>I could give her a helping hand!?
>I'll teach you
>all kinds of things...<3
>Kafka-chan<3

p5
>Now then! Let's start with some movies.

>This is my first recommendation.
>A school story with a heartrending vibe!

>Even though they both feel the same way, they can't get it across.
>The frustration is what makes it awesome.
>Heh~

>I'm sorry.
>I...

p6
>I'm sorry
>for falling love with you...
>But... I can't stop.

>I've also...
>Eh?

>been in love with you this whole time...
>Hya
>Hyaaaah

>Tha-...
>That's a little too stimulating...
>Taha~
>I usually just watch action or comedy...
>Is that so?

p7
>That was meant to be a light recommendation.
>Seriously~?
>Or rather, I didn't expect it to be between two girls...
>Geez! Nothing will begin if you get bashful from just this!
>These days, kissing is the lowest hurdle.
>That so...?

>In fact, a kiss is usually where the romance begins.
>There are works where they go further put all their strength into touching each other's bodies and souls.
>Bodies!?

>"Why did this someone who I weren't aware of before kiss me? Why does my heart feel so uneasy...?" The way they worry about stuff like that is awesome.
>I can't get enough of the moments when that all awakens their love!
>I'm in the kissing after dating faction, though.
>Heh...
>Incidentally, my ideal confession situation would be...

>A-
>At any rate! Now that you understand, it's time to move onto the next stage!
>The next...

p8
>Aaaaaah?!
>(Scream that cannot be heard)
>Page 14/17

>Wait! O-O-O-Otome-chan!?

>Why are you reading lewd books!?
>It's technically all-ages.

>I can't read something like this!
>Huh!?
>This is just the bare minimum!

>Shio-san?
>Wah!

p9
>I'm coming in.
>R-Right!
>Wait, what's going on?
>Why are you fretting so much...?
>I-I-I-I-It's nothing!
>What brings you here, Kafka-chan?

>I've brought you a drink and some snacks.
>Eh?

>Here.

>Wah.

p10
>Thank you~
>But why this all of a sudden?

>I wanted to support you with your studies.

>You're studying for exams, right?
>If there's anything you don't understand, I can teach you...

>Ah, yeah... That would be...
>>Reality
>Haaahn
>really bad.

p11
>Just to be safe,
>Amamiya-san?
>Are you okay?
>I'll turn the notifications off.
>I need to fool her somehow.

>I was just so perfect that I finished it in an instant~
>So I'm all good now.... or something.
>Man~
>Eh...?

>In fact, it turns out I didn't even need to study... or something like that!
>That's never gonna work.

>To think you were this capable of studying!
>Then,
>let's both take the top on the midterms!
>Y-
>Yeah...
>I get the feeling I just told an incredible lie...
