The One I Love is Very <3<3

Misaki-senpai.
Please check this!
Sure.

Yep, looking good. All that's left to do is...
Thank you very much!
Misaki-senpai's as lovely as ever today...
They say she's gonna be the ace next season.
I wonder if she has a lover?

But those two have had a nice mood going on lately, haven't they?
They apparently went out drinking together yesterday.
For real!?

I guess that means they're already dating!
Kya~<3
...

...So like
the one I love...
is sooooo dense!!!
Argh geez!
You're spilling your drink!!
Waahn!

You're drinking too much,
Misaki-onee-chan!
Geez, you're drooling too...
They won't look my way at all...

Why don't you just give up already?
It's been that way this whole time lately, hasn't it?
Uuh...
You're so cold, Fuu-chan...

Hah~
...Do you really love them that much?

...Yeah.
There wasn't really a trigger or anything...
but being with them soothes my heart.
They're always by my side when times are rough
and always accept me for who I am...
They're my reason for living<3
Ah... yeah yeah.

...For the longest time,
I haven't been able to get their face our of my head.

...I see.

So I'm no good, huh!?

As her childhood friend, I've been with her since birth,
so I'm the one who knows her the best!
Whenever she's in pain, I always come running.
More than anything, I prioritise Misaki-onee-chan the most out of anyone!

I'm the one who suggested we live together
since this onee-chan is so slovenly!

Geez~

I'm just no good...

Hrm...
I would never let her make a face like that!

I've had feeling for her for fifteen years!!
This other guy should just give up already!

Fuu-chan...
Argh geez!!

Tch
You clicked your tongue...

She's had boyfriends... and even girlfriends before,
but they've never lasted long.
Th-That hurts~

This time will be no different.
Okay.
...Fuhe

Thanks,
Fuu-chan.

...Yeah.

While we're still living together...

I'll definitely make Misaki-onee-chan fall for me!

...Well, that was my intention, but...

Why am I on the receiving end!?
Hehe~ Fuu-chan~

She's way too defenselesssss!!
I'm happy she lets her guard down around me, but...

Hey~ Look over here~
she's not giving me any consideration in the slightest~

...That's why if she ever finds out how I feel,
this lifestyle will be over...!
I wonder how long I can keep these feelings in check.

I need to keep them hidden...!

As someone with 15 years experience in one-sided love, this is nothing...
...Hey~

Are you still mad~?
I said I was sorry~
Give me some fussing~
Don't stick your head in!!

Hey!?
It's your smiling face...

that I love, Fuu-chan.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! WHAT WAS THAT!?
AM I BEING TESTED!?

Hah
...Well, she's probably not even aware she's doing it.

Hah
She hasn't been doing the same kinda thing
to the "one she loves" too, has she...!?
Uwoooah... I'm getting a headache...
...Hm?

Misaki's panties

Who knew living together could be this rough...

But I won't lose!!

p10

...Aren't these new pajamas
a-a little too cute?

...No, the gap moe from my usual tastes is what I'm aiming for.
Eh!?

ba-dum...

I'm not going down without a fight!
I'll open the zipper a little more...

This should make her a little more conscious of...

SNORE~
...

p11

...Hah~

Honestly...
You'll catch a cold sleeping here.
Hey~
...Nyah?
Ah, you're awa-...

Bleeeeeeeh...

I feel crappy...
This mother...

Geez...
This was my perfect chance too...

She's a tough opponent...
Even though she thoughtlessly finds lovers left and right...
Shit. Next time for sure...

p12

I'm sorry, Fuu-chan!!
...Nyah?

Woah!?
...What are you doing??
I mean...

I caused you a lot of trouble last night, didn't I...?
I was in the bed when I woke up...
My memory's pretty vague,
but I feel like I upset you, Fuu-chan...
Aah...
She did get a little wild last night.

...You've got today off your part-time job, right?
? Yeah.
In that case...

Let's go on a date!
I'll treat you to something as an apology!
Eh?

p13

A da-...
Close one!
She probably just means a shopping one!!
That's so misleading!

...Are you feeling okay now?
Yep!
I don't know why, but I feel refreshed!

But this could be the chance I've been wishing for!

Today's the day, or rather date,
that I make her...
fall in love with me!!
Ugh...

Are you okay?
!

Come on.

p14

Hm?

Shit...
Eeh!?

You are upset about last night, aren't you, Fuu-chan...?
I'm not upset!
Eeh...?

I'll buy you anything, so please forgive me...
You trying to reel me in with things?
...Well, I did get hooked by the date, though.

!

...Lot of people today, aren't there?
Same with on the train...
Well... it's to be expected.
Today's Christmas Eve, after all.
Eh?

...Not that she mentions it,

p15

it's not usually this...

Geez, Fuu-chan.
You only just noticed?

Pfft
Even though it's so sparkly everywhere.

p16

...

...Pretty.

Do you want that?
Heh?
No, not really...

Why not?
I'm sure it'd suit you, Fuu-chan.

It's pretty.
~Ng...

p17

Th-
This, please!
Eh!?

Fuu-chan!?
I said I'd treat you today...
It's fine! I want to buy it!
For who!?

...I-

I'm so damn timid.
Over a single word...
Hrm...
I wanted to buy that for you, Fuu-chan.

...
ACHOO

Hah~

p18

...
...I'll lend you my hand.

...!

Fufu
You're still as warm as a child, Fuu-chan.
Cling to me some more!
Don't get cocky!
It's fine, ain't it?
Hah...

I bet it'd be even warmer if we hugged~

p19

I know. How about we sleep together tonight?

Unconcsciously

Shit, shit, shit, shit!!

I seriously can't let my guard down around this woman.
Hah~
Hey, it's fine, right?

...But
...

...
...

Fine.
Yay!

Kyai Kyai
Stop making typoes.
...Huh?
Misaki-senpai?

p20

What a coincidence?
Satou-kun?

What are you doing here?
!

Are you out shopping too, Senpai?
Yes.
...Who's that?
Isn't he pretty close?

He's acting weirdly chummy...

Might you be Fuuka-san?
Fweh!?
...Yes.

p21

It's nice to meet you.
I'm Satou from Misaki-senpai's department.
Aah...
A pleasure.

?
What is it...?

So you make a face like that
...around people besides me, huh?

...!

D-Don't tell me the one Misaki-onee-chan loves is...

p22

this guy!?

Shit... And in the middle of our date and everything...!
The mood is completely ruined!

I oughta tear them apart right now...

p25

I've always wanted Misaki-onee-chan
to have a "normal" happiness.

That's why I've been stifling these feelings of mine ever since I fell in love with her.
But...
Hey,

wanna live together?
I figured "if you're gonna make that kinda face, you should fall in love with me" and proposed we live together.

These few days have been fun.
They felt extra nice to make up what I've been holding back.

p26

I knew there wasn't a chance
that she'd fall for me after all this time.

But it feels easier to breathe compared to back then.
...More than anything,

I was able to simply love her.

p27

Up until now,

I've always held onto this pain.

...If this

is a love that will remain unrewarded then...

I...

p28

get in the way of this love.

I don't wanna be hurt anymore.

p29

Let's go.
!?
Fuu-chan?
Hah
Sorry!
I guess I stopped you for too long...
...

...

...chan.
Fuu-chan!

Hah
What's gotten into you? ...Are you okay?
Crap. I acted without thinking...

But how do I explain this...?
Telling the truth would only hurt her.
Misaki-onee-chan is all over that guy,
so an outside like me telling her to give up now would also be...
Hmmm...
How do I settle this without hurting her...
Hey.

p30

I'm asking if you're okay.
Owowowowowow!?

Hey!?
What're you...

Why
won't you pay me any attention?

...Ng!
Fuu-chan, you've had

p31

this pained expression in front of me for a while now.
Did you think I wouldn't notice?

...I've been wondering what you're worrying about and why you look so hurt.
I wanted to understand.

...But even though I want to understand, you won't tell me anything.

You won't tell me why you're making that expression.

I've been waiting for the time
when you would rely on me.
..Ng
...I want you to smile, Fuu-chan. I can't stand it anymore.

p32

I don't want you to be hurt...

p33

...There's

something I haven't told you... this whole time.

...If you'll forgive me,
!
if I can really rely on you...

I've always...
wanted to take these feelings I've held onto
Tell me.

p34-35

and spit them out.
I love you, Misaki-onee-chan.

I've loved you for fifteen years now.

p36

To be honest
I know these feelings would only be a bother.
...But

I really want to be by your side.
I don't want you to get close with anyone else.
I don't want you to date anyone else.
I want you to fall in love with me.

Ng...

...I'm not expecting these feelings to be accepted.
I just...

p37

want to keep being
in love with you, Misaki-onee-chan!

p38

...Wait.
Hey, are you okay!?
Fweh?

...I-
I can't help it...

All this time, I've also been...
in love with you, Fuu-chan.

...Huh?
I-I'm sorry... I didn't noticed until just now
and I've been making you sad...

...You're in love with me?
Yeah...
...

p39

HUUUUUUUUUUH!? SAY WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN!? FIRST I'VE HEARD OF IT!?
Weren't you in love with that guy from earlier!?
...?
No.
He's married.

Lately,
um...
I've been coming to him for love advice.

You weren't looking my way, so...
Love advice...?

No matter what I tried, you wouldn't give a response.
I wasn't sure what to do...
That's why I was out of control last night...
Huh... Since when? You never acted that was before...

...Well,
I first realised I was in love with you
back in high school.
...Hng!?

p40

I didn't want to cause you any trouble,
so I tried to give up on my feelings countless times.

Hey,
do you actually like me?

...But
it was futile in the end.

That's when you said that to me, Fuu-chan.
Wanna live together?
...Ng

From then on...
I've been trying, okay?
!?
You mean you were doing all that on purpose!?

I'm such a...
Grr...

...
Geez.
We...

p41

really are
an awkward pair, huh?

p42

...By the way,
where are we?
It's sparkly...

...A fair bit away from the station, it seems.
Uuh...
Sorry... for dragging you away like that.

I was a wit's end until the last moment...

...Indeed,
it turned out to be quite a detour...
But...

p43

I'm glad this is where we ended up!

Look! It's really pretty.

p44

Besides, I need to support you properly from now on.
You're
my girlfriend after all, Fuu-chan!
Wha!?

There's a mountain of things you haven't told me until now, right?
I want to hear them all.
!

Things I haven't told her...

I don't want us to get the wrong idea anymore.
Things I wanted to tell her...

You're dear to me. You're dazzling and cute. You're precious and adorable.
You've always caught my eye since long ago.

Misaki-onee-chan.
But more than anything...

p45

You're pretty.

Warning
