Love-colored Paradox

p3
>It's...
>this season already...

>Spring.

p4
>The year that she will graduate has finally arrived...

>Onee-sama...

>You mustn't, Shirai Kuroko!
>You're in the middle of work!
>You need to focus!
>Otherwise you'll cause trouble for Onee-sama too!!

p5
>Hah...
>And so...
>As time passes, surely...
>I will also...

>Oh...?
>That's...

>Onee-sama!

>There's no point in being hesitant!
>Shirai Kuroko!

p6
>Onee-samaaaaan<3
>!?

>I told you not to...
>Wait.
>Ah, K-...
>Kuroko?!
>Yes?

p7
>Th-That's right, it's this girl!
>This is the girl I'm dating!
>So sorry!
>!

>Heh...? U-Um, Onee-sama?
>Just play along...!
>...W-Well then!

>We're about to head on a date now~
>Ah Aha Hahahaha~

p8
>U-Um, Onee-sama...!
>I'm on Judgement patrol right now.
>I don't know what's going on but...
>What are you...?
>Shh
>Date, you say?

>?
>Onee-sa...

>!
>Y'see...

p9
>Those girls just now are Tokiwadai freshmen...
>They appear to be the girls I saved from molesters before.

>...And they seem to have, um,
>fallen in love with me,
>so...
>Haha...

>So you were confessed to.
>...///

>Normally I'd just give some excuse to turn them down
>but those girls were really pushy...
>They're probably still chasing after me even now.
>In that case, I should directly...

p10
>So I thought that if they saw I was already dating someone, those girls might give up on me!
>Please, Kuro!
>Go out with me for one day!

>Well.
>This is another act of mercy.
>It is a request from Onee-sama...

>Not to mention...

p11
>...Can't be helped, I suppose.

>Thanks! You're a lifesaver!

>...Geez.

>That kinda request is unfair, Onee-sama.
>Okay, let's go on a date!!
>Ah, Onee-sama!!

>After that, we...

p12
>Um... Ladies?
>We continued to pretend we were on a date.

>Woah!

>Geez, Kuroko, you...
>This is a pretend date, Onee-sama.
>Hrm...

>...

p13
>Are you having fun, Kuroko?
>Yes!

>Well, that's good, then.
>Indeed<3

>Ah, looks like they've finally given up...
>It seems so. Then I guess the pretend date is also...
>...

p14
>Then let's go here to finish things off!
>Eh...? But...!

>I said I'd date you for one day, didn't I?

>...

>Well... If you're okay with it, Onee-sama...
>Alright! Ah, this is cute!

>>Paah-san

p15
>Hawa~

>Hah...
>Planning on getting yet another stuffed toy, are we?

>I'm just looking!
>You really do like cute stuff like this, huh, Onee-sama?
>Like I said!

>...Ah.

p16
>This is...

>Kuro...
>Hm...?

>A clover...

p17
>Kuroko.
>Do you want me to buy it for you?
>As thanks for coming with me today...
>Hah

>...It's fine...

>More importantly,
>it's almsot curfew time!
>I need to stop by the branch
>so you head back to the dorms ahead of me, Onee-sama.

>You sure?
>I caused you a lot of trouble today.

>Even if it's pretend, pretending to be my girlfriend must've been a nuisance, right?

p18
>Not in the slightest!
>If I was Onee-sama's girlfriend, I'd... I'd already be...
>Oh dear, I'm drooling.

>I'm constantly falling for you...
>Hehehe
>Oh right. I forgot she was one of those...

>W-
>Well, I'll be taking my leave.
>Make sure you get back before curfew too, okay?
>Okay!

p19
>Just like this,

>just like always...

>seeing Onee-sama off
>is the only thing I can do.

p20
>And then,
>come next Spring, you'll...

>...Onee-sama.

>I'm home.
>Welcome back~

p21
>Onee-sama.
>Hm?
>Here.

>Eeh?
>...What's this?

>Even if it was pretend, today make me really happy.
>We haven't gotten to spend much time together due to how busy I've been lately, after all.
>You gave me a nice memory.
>So
>...I wanted to repay you...

p22
>Hmm... Well,
>I'm glad you enjoyed yourself, considering it was me who got you wrapped up in this...

>...Wait.
>This is!
>Yes.
>Instead of me,
>I think this would suit you way more, Onee-sama.

p23
>Pfft
>Eeh?

>Are you okay?
>Khkhkh...
>Yeah, I'm fine.


>We were thinking the same thing...

>...?
>...Kuroko.
>Yes?

p24
>Excuse me for a bit.

>Kuroko.

p25
>For the whole day today,
>I knew that you and I were pretending to be lovers... but...
>...?

p26
>...Hm, well, for the meantime,
>we're not gonna change from now on,
>so...

>...Onee-sama?
>From... now on?

>We'll be together forever, moroooooon!

>Eh...?

>Ah, my ribbon... Why...?

p27
>What was that all about...?

>Eh?

>From now on,
>together forever.

>Forever...?

>Is it okay
>for me to get my hopes up?

p28
>Is it okay to say I love you?

>Fu...
>Kh...

>Can I stay by your side forever?
>Onee-sama...

>Hah Hah Hah

>Phew...

>If you make that kinda face,
>it's just like doing it on the mouth...

p29
>That's obvious, isn't it...?
>Forever from now on...

>And so...

>So the rumor was true.
>Those two really are dating... Look.

>...We're the hot topic no matter where we go.
>...

>...
>...

p30
>Shall we...
>Um...
>go on... another date?
>I mean, people are gonna be watching us everywhere we go anyway.
>A lot of troublesome things have happened but

>walking alongside each other wearing the same hairpins,
>it feels like the distance between us is a lot closer than before.
>If you allow it, then even if we're far apart...

>We'll be together forever!
>Yeah, yeah.
>I'll always stay by your side, Onee-sama...
