The Day Kirino Grew Up

She ran upstairs to her room to change her clothes, tears streaming down her face.

Yukino's expression was complicated. "Well... I just feel like, um, sorry."

As the younger sister, she felt really embarrassed.

Shuya said, "I originally wanted Haruno to go back on her own, but let's use it to punish Motoko first."

Yuigahama was too scared to speak.

Before long, Shuya sensed that Motoko was lingering on the stairs, hesitant to come down.

So he urged, "Get down here! What are you doing standing there!"

"... Waaah."

Motoko walked down with her head down.

Yukino lowered her head as well. "I'm sorry! It's all my fault."

"Big, bold..."

Yuigahama's eyes widened.

The maid outfit that Motoko was wearing was dangerous in every sense of the word.

The skirt was extremely short, about 20cm above the knee, and her legs were clad in white stockings.

The top had a large heart-shaped opening at the chest, and not only that, it was also backless...

Yuigahama, a girl, blushed. "It's very revealing, but it's... kind of cute..."

Motoko kept her head down the entire time.

"Haruno bought the maid outfit purely for that purpose, right?"

Shuya clicked his tongue twice.

"..."

Motoko kept her head down, too ashamed to face anyone.

"Alright, go ahead and clean up."

Shuya casually gave her instructions, Motoko silently complied.

Yukino couldn't bear to watch any longer and went to help, wanting to make up for Haruno's mistake.

Seeing this Yuigahama couldn't just sit idly by, so she... decided to go home.

See you tomorrow! Bye-bye!

She ran away.

"... Did something happen between you and Yuigahama?"

Yukino asked astutely.

"It's nothing, she's probably just shy. She only told me she liked me when she did the gender swap."

"Yeah."

Yukino simply nodded after hearing the explanation, Shuya completely unsure of her attitude.

She and Motoko did some housework like that.

Then Shuya's phone rang. He answered, "Hello, who is it?"

"It's me, Kyousuke! Something terrible has happened!"

"What's wrong now?"

Shuya, and Kyousuke replied hastily, "Kirino's affair has been exposed! My dad is furious now that he knows!"

"What the hell... She's so weak, how could she be exposed like that?"

Shuya scoffed, "Hey, hey, hey, isn't this another case of Puberty Syndrome? I just finished here!"

"Ha, ha... whoosh...! What did you just say? I... ha... can't hear you!"

"No, what's wrong with you? You seem to be having trouble breathing?"

Shuya heard Kyousuke's voice sounding very breathless.

"That idiot Kirino ran away right after having a huge fight with my dad. I'm chasing her, but I can't catch her at all! Huff... huff, ha---I can't take it anymore!"

After Kyousuke finished shouting, he was completely out of breath for the rest of his sentence.

He seemed to have stopped.

"Are you sure you can handle it?"

Shuya felt helpless about his weak stamina and wondered if he should train him a bit.

These days, voice actors might get roles in idol projects that require them to sing and dance on stage, which can be incredibly physically demanding.

We don't expect him to be able to kill a bull with one punch, but he still needs physical strength.

However, Shuya knew that now was not the time to talk about this.

"I'll go help look for it too, but... I have a feeling things are going to get complicated."

"Thank you, I'm counting on you!"

Kyousuke hung up the phone.

"Yukino- chan, Motoko- chan! I have to go out for a bit!"

Shuya called out towards the stairs, and the two people popped their heads out, looking at him with suspicion.

Where are you going?

Yukino asked.

"That silly girl Kirino- chan has revealed her terrible interests. I wonder where she's off to now. I'll go look for her."

Shuya sighed, "It's best if I don't get Puberty Syndrome again, otherwise it'll be really annoying."

"... I understand, you can go now."

May you rest in peace!

Motoko's eyes lit up, wishing he would leave quickly and never come back.

"Uh-huh."

Shuya replied casually.

Then he changed his shoes, opened the door, and was about to go out.

However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a figure running towards him.

"Shuya- senpai!"

A familiar voice appeared, trembling with excitement. "From today onwards, I will be a disciple of the senior family!"

"Who?"

"Um?"

Yukino and Motoko peeked out from the stairs.

"That..."

Shuya looked at the woman in front of him, and an indescribable smile slowly spread across his face:

"Excuse me, who are you?"

The woman said, "I'm Kirino!... Why do you ask me that, Shuya- senpai...? Hmm?"

She looked down at herself, her voice stammering.

Shuya covered his head, just as expected...

Puberty Syndrome is back again.

The woman in front of me was 1.7 meters tall, with a large bust and long legs, and a mature face (although she still had a round face).

Her body doesn't look like that of a middle school girl at all.

That's right... Kirino suddenly...

They've grown up.

"Ah---! How did I become like this?!"

Kirino, the older sister, let out a piercing scream.

"Emmmmmm."

Shuya also temporarily lost his ability to speak.

"... Anyway, shall we come in first?"

Yukino, holding a broom, peeked out from behind Shuya and calmly looked at the enlarged Kirino.

Her gaze lingered on Kirino's chest, then suddenly turned deep and unfathomable.

A shocked Kirino entered Shuya's house and then met Motoko's eyes.

"Su, Motoko- senpai? What's with your outfit? And your hair..."

Kirino was surprised again.

"This was... forced upon me by Inoue- kun..."

Motoko bit her lip in embarrassment.

"?"

Kirino's gaze shifted as she looked at Shuya.

"It's just punishment. That Motoko ruined my reputation... and the hair issue has nothing to do with me."

Shuya offered an explanation.

Kirino saw that Yukino was also present, and knew that Shuya and Motoko probably hadn't done anything impure.

Shuya first notified Kyousuke by phone, and then spoke to Kirino.

Motoko served tea to the customer on her own initiative, and then stood aside to listen.

Yukino circled around Kirino for a while, trying to figure out if it was some kind of illusion.

Unfortunately, it wasn't an illusion; it was real.

Shuya didn't let Yukino watch any longer and asked directly, "So, Kirino, what brings you here?"

"I'm not going back!"

Kirino said indignantly, "That stubborn old man! How dare he slander something I like like that... Ugh! I can't stand it!"

Shuya and Yukino knew about her interests, but Motoko didn't. Curious, she asked, "What do you like?"

Shuya said, "Little butter, it's something like that."

He explained to Motoko what all those things were.

"W-w-w! I can't believe Kirino, you... you actually...?!"

Motoko was extremely shocked; she never expected that Kirino, this little girl, would be so obsessed with that kind of thing.

"I couldn't help it! I like it, that's it! No, you could even call it love! The thing I love so deeply was despised and slandered like that, I'm just... incredibly angry!"

Yukino calmly said, "To be fair, it's fine if you like anime, but why is something rated 18+? I think you should think carefully about the meaning behind that."

"I...! Isn't Yukino- senpai on my side?"

Kirino looked at Yukino with a wronged expression.

"Um... cough cough."

Yukino looked away hesitantly. "It's not... a question of which side to take, but rather..."
