The summer has ended and the leaves have started to turn red.

And before you know it...

There's not much time left.

If I'll end up laughing or crying all counts on how hard I work this winter!

Alright, here we go!

Kei-chan! Dinner's ready.

Your old man never fails to catch the biggest tuna!

How are your studies going?

Well... I'm slowly getting there.

You really are an unreliable character.

Why don't you ask Ako to tutor you again?

I-I don't need her to!

Then, how about me?

What are you going to teach him?!

You should accept favors from your family.

That's the problem here.

Oh right, Keita, what are you going to do about your good luck charm?

My good luck charm?

One for success with the exams.

How about one from the Dazaifu temple?

Dazaifu?

That would be great.

Well then, we can go to the hot springs and Beppu and while we're at it-

Only "while we're at it?"

But every exam student should have one, right?

There are exam students all over the country.

The gods won't to listen to all of their prayers.

But if it was a charm that would only work for me or something, that would be something different.

And then dad would, he would...

When times are tough, pray to the gods

I've got it!

Here we go!

You sure work hard, Kei-chan.

This is the last leg of the race.

I've got to completely devote myself to my studies!

Well then...

I'll go get you some tea.

Thanks.

Keita, take this.

A headband?

I made it.

It's a victory headband that will only work on you, and help you succeed.

Victory

Victory

Victory

Victory

Victory

Victory

Victory

Victory

Thank you!

How is it?

Yeah, I feel like I can concentrate better now.

This is great.

I'm so glad.

OK, let's do this!

Thanks, Riko-nee.

Oh, Kei-chan.

She got a step ahead of me!

It feels different ever since I've gotten the headband.

This really is an indispensable tool for an exam student.

Go for it, Keita.

You bet! I'm doing this for Riko-nee as well!

Kei-chan! It's time for a midnight snack!

Great, it's katsudon!

TL Note: A katsudon (カツ丼) is a popular Japanese food, a bowl of rice topped with a deep-fried pork cutlet, egg, and condiments.

Well you have to win at your exams, right?

It's cliché, but that's because it works!

Damn you, Ako.

It's my turn this time.

Itadakimasu!

This is delicious!

Jeez... You're eating like you didn't have any dinner.

But this is really delicious.

Ako-nee's midnight snacks are the best.

I'll make some pork cutlet sandwiches tomorrow

Awesome!

From today until the exams, I'll be preparing a special victory menu!

Look forward to it, 'kay?

I'm suddenly starting to feel like I'm totally going to be accepted somehow!

That's great!

Thanks for the meal.

No problem.

It was really tasty.

We've got some apples for dessert.

Or should I say scores going upples.

Just kidding!

Ako-nee, it really was delicious...

What?

Ouch!

What are you doing, Riko-nee?!

I know all I can do is make a headband!

Hey, I'm not just going to get beaten like this!

Ouch! That hurts!

Take that.

If you're getting serious just because of this,

you're still a kid, Keita.

The one who started it is the kid!

What about me makes me a kid?!

Your height for example!

Stop judging me by my looks!

I'm sorry, did I hurt you?

Riko-nee?

Riko-nee, are you alright?

Gosh...

This won't do.

Huh? That's why I said sorry...

You did it on purpose, didn't you?

D-Did what?

We were having fun, but I guess you want this more, Keita.

What are you talking about?

You know already, don't you?

Where's your foot touching me?

Tell me, where is this?

Th... there...

I won't understand if you say "there".

Say it properly.

Like I could say that!

But you're the one at fault here.

Ri-Riko-nee, what are you...

I'm not letting you go. I'll show you that your sister isn't a little kid anymore.

How am I going to figure that out from this?

You'll figure it out soon enough.

Well, we did show each other our naked bodies in the bathroom before...

W-We didn't show each other,

it was just an accident and I saw it by chance!

I saw your balls and your pole.

Don't call it a "pole!"

But I remember it...

The feeling of your hand touching me down there.

Even now, really clearly...

You flipped my switch.

I feel like I'm going to lose myself.

Riko-nee, what are you doing with my foot?

It's good, Keita...

This feels great...

Stop it!

Did it just get wet?

Oh, you felt that?

Your sock starts to absorb some of mine.

Absorb?!

I'm sorry...

But I can't stop.

Your foot's pretty big, isn't it?

I might like feet better than hands.

Riko-nee looks kind of cute...

Don't stare at me like that.

It's your own fault, isn't it?

I can't take my eyes off you.

It's fine, you can look.

No, I want you to look at me.

Do you think I'm a bad sister for making myself feel good using my brother's foot?

Yeah, this just won't do...

Doing stuff like this!

Sorry! Was that too strong?

That felt really good.

I might not be able to become a bride anymore...

At least say "I'll take responsibility."

That's kinda...

Are you saying you won't?

Or do you think I'm joking?

I couldn't possibly be joking about something like this.

Riko-nee...

Kei-chan, sorry to keep you waiting!

Ah, is something wrong?

No, it's...

...nothing.

Oh? Riko, your face is all red.

I guess I'm just feeling a little hot.

Then why don't you get out of the kotatsu?

TL Note: A kotatsu (炬燵) is a low, wooden table frame covered by a futon, or heavy blanket, upon which a table top sits. Underneath is a heat source, often built into the table itself.

Kei-chan, aren't you sweating you a lot as well?

Yeah, I'm feeling kind of hot. Maybe I should come out from under the kotatsu-

Or not.

What?

To be precise, I can't get out...

Keita... You don't mean...

Aren't you going to eat the apples?

Of course I'll eat some! I'll eat them!

What's wrong?

Riko-nee... In this situation? Are you insane?!

Just as I thought, Keita got bigger too.

I'm so happy.

I'm wearing thin sweats, so I can even feel each of Riko-nee's toes...!

Keita's...

It's not only its shape, it's hot and feels like it's ready to burst...

I can feel it.

I can feel it.

What's going on?

Since I came in, they've...

What the hell are you two doing?!

Damn it, seriously...

You've done nothing but bother Keita. What are you going to do if he fails his exams?

I'll take responsibility and take care of him.

Are you planning to make him jobless as a middle school graduate?!

Don't say such stupid things.

If it really helps Keita pass, you should at least-

There sure are a lot of people here.

It's right before the exam period, after all.

Huh, isn't that Toda?
