Revenge of the Fallen Angel Soprano-chan ch4: ...Come Again.

The meaning behind her shocking confession...

From the moment I first met you, Mirei-chan,
I never once thought of you...

As a friend...

No no. What am I being so shocked for!?
She didn't mean that she hated me!

If anything, it means she's...
been in love with me from the very start... right?

Just from me complimenting her name...!?
Surely not...

Mirei! You in there?
Uwaaaah!!

Onee-chan! Don't burst in while I'm taking my bath!
Ehehe...
Sorry~ I just had a favor to ask.

You're free tomorrow, right?
Help me run the store in the evening.

Eh~...? No way.

Please! You can eat what's left of today's tiramisu!
I'm not gonna fall for a childish trick like...

She got me...!

It's Onee-chan's handmade tiramisu's fault for being so delicious...

Our family own a café on the first floor and live above it on the second floor.
Normally it's managed by my mom, my dad,
and my big sister who's 8 years older than me.

But today is my parents' wedding anniversary,
so Onee-chan arranged for the happy couple to spend the night out together.
Bring back some souvenirs~

As for me on the other hand...
Hey now, I don't see your hands moving~

Work hard to make up for what you ate.
Gotta burn off those calories~
hyuk hyuk

Kh...

I'm not only clumsy but socially awkward too,
Waaah
Welcome~
so I'm only ever called in for special occassions like this.

Geh...
A customer...

...Soprano-chan...?
...

Cute...!

Can I... take a photo...?

...I guess.
Isn't it normally the other way around...?
Thank you...!

...Did you come here to hang out already?

I was taking a walk around town since I just got back here
and found myself close to where your store was...
I got all nostalgic so I dropped on by.

I was hoping I'd get to see you there,
so I'm really happy...

Soprano-chan seems to be enjoying herself...

I don't wanna hear about the past me.
After what happened yesterday,
I thought we'd have trouble facing each other on our day off.

I'm kinda relieved...
Sop-chan?

Wah! It's Sop-chan!
Long time no see!!

Mika...-onee-san?
Yep! That's me!
You used to come here all the time when you were little~
Cute!!

p10

Mirei's been so down in the dumps since you moved away~

Ah, oh yeah!
I was really surprised to learn you had become a model!

You used to be so plain, after all~

That insensitive sister of mine!!!
Ressurected past memories.
Age 5
Is this me?
Why do I have poop on my head?
Middle school
Hey Mirei, rather than growing taller,
you've been growing wider lately, haven't you?

p11

Onee-chan!! Bring out that tiramisu you're so proud of!!
I'll pour some coffee!
Ooh! Sounds good!
I was just wanting Sop-chan to try it!

She doesn't even care what people are going through...

Could you please
not talk about Soprano-chan's
past personality or appearance like that?

p12

Why not?

...She might not want to bring up her past self.
...I see.
But I think it's something she should be proud of.

The people we are today
are built upon the foundation of who we were back then, right?

That plain... I mean, well-behaved girl
went through such an amazing transformation.

...It's honestly kinda scary.

p13

Well, it just goes to show how much effort she's put in.

I became a model for your sake, Mirei-chan.

If she really did all that work for my sake,
then I have no idea why she'd go that far.

Especially after what I did to her...

What even is there to like
about someone like me...?

Thank you for waiting.
Thanks.

p14

By the way, Mirei-chan, where's your mom?
She's on an outing with Dad today...

Did you need something from her?
No. I just wanted to say hi.

...? I see.
Well, take your time...
Mirei-chan.

I'm sorry...
for showing you my lame side yesterday.

p15

Even though I said... that I wanted to test you,
I chickened out at the crucial moment.

It's just like you said, Mirei-chan.
It seems the timid me is still in good health.

I wasn't really...!
I'll be sure to 'fix' it properly,

so please wait until I've erased my weak self.

p16

Soprano-chan...
Why are you going so...

Delicious...
Heh?

This tiramisu is really good...!

p17

...Well, Onee-chan's the one who made it.
She's a really good cook...
It's a recent addition, right?
It wasn't on the menu back when I used to come here.

I'd like to come here to eat it again...
Fufu

...Come again.

I...

...and my family would be happy to see you.

p18

Thank you for the food.
It was really delicious.

Yeah. Take care~
Huh? You're leaving already, Sop-chan?

It's pretty lonely since it's just the two of us today,
so how about you sleep over?

It's just one thing after another...

with this sister of mine...!!

Nah, you did good, Onee-chan!
