CHAPTER 1 STORY 9
There’s No Way My Little Sister Could Be So Cruel
Elaina, can I talk to you about something…? Recently, my little sister has been super mean to me. She’s always been a cruel girl, but recently I feel like it’s gotten more obvious, or at least more frequent. As her big sister, I’m very unhappy about her rebellious phase.
Today, I was arranging my things to get ready to go back to work, but as I was doing so, my sister came to me and said, “Huh? What’s with that filthy towel? You’d actually use something like that? Big Sis, you’re a girl, so why don’t you take a little more care with your grooming?”
She said that, and then she confiscated my towel! Isn’t that awful? Even though I had only used it a few times! I mean, it wasn’t even that dirty!
What’s more, she had the nerve to say, “Big Sister, this one suits you well,” and threw a new towel at me! Moreover, it smells great! I love it!
Huh? Isn’t her behavior adorable, you ask? No, no, listen, Elaina. As a matter of fact, my sister’s acts of savagery didn’t stop there.
“Big Sister. What do you usually eat? Bread that you bought at a street stall? Oh no. That sort of thing is why you’re still a little shrimp, no matter how much time passes. Eat things that are better for your body!”
She had the nerve to say that, and then she dragged me out to a nearby high-class restaurant against my will! Isn’t that just awful? First she abused me, calling me a shrimp, and then she exposed me to public scorn by taking me to a restaurant that was a complete mismatch for a shrimp like me! What’s more, after we got there, she said, “Okay, open up!” and fed me my food! Isn’t that cruel?! She wasn’t satisfied just making me a laughingstock, she went so far as to treat me like a child! It’s the first time I’ve ever received such treatment!
Eh-heh-heh…but I did like that part, too.
Ah, even though I say I liked it, it wasn’t like that, you know? She’s a far cry from you, Elaina. I mean, I like her in a totally different way—
“I didn’t really ask.”
Who on earth was the witch who interrupted Saya’s lovestruck boasting?
That’s right, it was me.
I’m sure I was probably making a very annoyed face.
“…So Saya came to me yesterday to discuss that with me. What do you think?”
“I don’t really care much.”
“Is that so? …By the way, what is that thing you’re clutching so dearly right now?”
“Huh? My big sister’s towel.”
“……”
“It smells like my sister.”
“…Oh, I didn’t really ask.”
“I’m not giving it to you.”
“I don’t want it! What’s wrong with you?”
I’m sure I was probably making a very annoyed face at this time, too.
“Oh-hoh-hoh… I love my big sister.”
At any rate, I felt that at this point, there was only one thing I could say.
There was no way Saya’s little sister could be this cruel.

[Author Comments]
This story makes you think that Saya is just bragging, even as she calls her sister cruel, but as a matter of fact, she was in a different sense being awesome (that’s a compliment) all along.
By the way, these bonus special stories jumped straight from Volume 2 to Volume 5, so you’re probably wondering, “Hey, hey, what happened to the bonus stories for the volumes in between?” but since there weren’t really any requests for bonus stories to go with Volumes 3 and 4, I never wrote any. Incidentally, some of the bonus stories from Volumes 1 and 2 were recycled into the main storyline, so the spread of bonus stories from Volumes 1 through 5 that made it into Volume 15 is quite sparse.
