MV Filming Begins
Shuya said, "Hmm... Judging from the current situation, it's probably Kirino- chan's love for her younger sister over the years that caused her to grow up? And her dissatisfaction with being too old to play eroge is also one of the reasons why her body grew bigger?"
"That might be true."
Yukino nodded, looking completely uninterested.
Shuya and Motoko didn't take it too seriously either.
There's no way around it; this incident can't compare to the previous two cases of Puberty Syndrome.
The impact of this incident was too minor; only Kirino grew larger, and it didn't affect anyone else's life at all.
This also involves Kirino's family.
... By the way, maybe Seya be affected too? I wonder how she'll react when she finds out.
Shuya himself doesn't seem to have much motivation.
"Kirino- chan, I think your Puberty Syndrome isn't that hard to solve."
Shuya said lazily, "Anyway, you can't go to school now that you're big, so just stay at Yukino -chan's house and play adult games. Have fun and enjoy yourself. We can talk to your dad after he calms down; it shouldn't be too hard to solve the problem."
"My dad won't accept it so easily."
Kyousuke interrupted, Kirino couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"That doting father will agree. Tell him that if he doesn't, Kirino will never go back and will come to be my child. He'll eventually give in."
Shuya said to Kyousuke.
"Could it really be like this...?"
Kyousuke was dubious.
"Kirino- chan, you don't have any objections to this arrangement, right?"
No, there isn't...
Kirino timid and hesitant.
"Let's observe for a few days then, and we'll see if it doesn't work."
Thus, the solution to Kirino's Puberty Syndrome was decided.
"That's it? It's that simple?"
Kyousuke hesitated for a moment.
"This incident doesn't seem too difficult."
Shuya shrugged.
"Um."
Yukino agreed.
The previous incidents involving Mai and Motoko were on a global scale, so this one is really insignificant.
She stood up and said, "Kirino, let me take you home."
"Wait, can I go to the office first? I have a lot of things there."
Kirino smiled sheepishly.
"No problem, I'll take you there."
Yukino and Kirino said goodbye to Shuya, and she would take Kirino directly to the agency.
As they left, Shuya noticed Kirino staring at Yukino with a mysterious smile.
It seems she hasn't given up on her wicked intentions.
"Oh, then... I'll head back now? I want to talk to my parents."
Kyousuke scratched his head and said.
"Go ahead."
Shuya watched Kyousuke leave.
He and Motoko were the only ones left at home.
"..."
When Shuya looked over, Motoko couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Were you serious about stepping back?"
Shuya was about to tease her a little, the phone rang again.
He thought it was Kyousuke calling, but it turned out to be Maeda Saori.
The phone call was about filming a music video.
Maeda Saori asked him if he was free later, and if so, they could meet in the conference room of Inoue Hikoo's company that evening to discuss the matter.
Mai, Little Senior Sister, Haruno, Hyakka will all be there; they are all scheduled to perform.
Shuya agreed.
If Maeda Saori hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten that he still had a record to release.
"Motoko, go change back into your casual clothes. Come out with me later."
Where are we going?
"Let's go discuss shooting the music video. You'll be playing a supporting role too."
"... All right."
Motoko had no choice but to agree. She felt very sorry for Shuya about her Puberty Syndrome, so she was being very well-behaved.
After changing his clothes Shuya and Motoko flew to the company.
It was still well before the meeting started, Shuya had come so early to visit his Little Senior Sister.
He found a dedicated Little Senior Sister in the company's studio.
"Shuya- kun, you're here so early? And Motoko- chan is here too... Huh? You got a haircut?"
The Little Senior Sister took off her headphones and spoke to them.
"I'm just... trying to change my mood."
For a moment, Motoko thought about complaining to her Little Senior Sister, but she figured that Xiu would definitely beat her to a Shuya if she did, so she wisely kept quiet.
At this moment, the Little Senior Sister revealed a pure and beautiful smile, "By the way, Shuya- kun! I saw your last performance, you danced very well!"
As expected of our Little Senior Sister! She easily said what we dared not say!
Motoko admired him greatly.
Shuya responded awkwardly a few times, thus letting the matter drop.
"How have you been lately, Little Senior Sister?"
Shuya then chatted with his Little Senior Sister for a while, listened to her new composition, and then went to the meeting room when it was almost time.
Maeda Saori had already arrived, and some company people were sitting next to her; they were in charge of filming the music video.
Although the company mainly produces animation, there are still people in the music department who understand this aspect, and they have previously filmed many music videos for Hanazawa Sakura's songs.
After greeting them, Shuya chatted for a few minutes, and then they started discussing things once Mai and the Mai arrived.
Neither Hanazawa Sakura nor Inoue Hikoo came; they weren't involved in this matter.
After the discussion, Maeda Saori and the other officials left immediately, agreeing to film the next day.
Yes, that means Shuya learn to coo tomorrow.
Maeda Saori and the others left, Shuya and the girls remained in the conference room.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
Mai sat upright, her gaze fixed on Shuya.
Haruno rested her chin on her hand, smiling broadly.
Hyakka's eyes darted around, a mysterious smile on her face.
The Little Senior Sister looked at everyone in bewilderment.
After thinking for a few seconds, she looked at Shuya with a puzzled expression. "You've run into another love triangle?"
Motoko was the most docile; she hid to the side and didn't say a word.
After a moment of silence, the person Shuya least wanted to speak finally spoke.
Haruno laughed and said, "Hey, Shu-chan, Shu-chan."
She leaned closer and poked Shuya.
"... What?"
"How far have things progressed between you and Yukino- chan? Did you kiss? Hey, hey, did you kiss?"
Haruno smiled on the surface, Shuya was inwardly cursing.
You're such a troublemaker!
Mai, Hyakka, Little Senior Sister, and Motoko all looked over.
Shuya said, "Actually, things didn't really progress that far between us..."
"Have you done it?"
"... No."
Shuya shook his head. "What's with all these questions? Do you really want me to play 'Sister Rice Bowl'?"
Upon hearing this, Mai's gaze became even kinder, and Hyakka tilted her head slightly.
The Little Senior Sister seemed a little lost.
Motoko's face showed a look of unbearable sorrow.
Haruno... then burst out laughing.
"Hahaha! Shu-chan, you're panicking? That's so cute!"
Ignoring everyone's gaze, she kissed Shuya on the lips.
I'm leaving now!
Haruno quickly slipped away, leaving Shuya to face the girls' gazes.
"Um... I'm going home too. See you tomorrow. Bye-bye..."
The Little Senior Sister slipped away cautiously.
Shooting of MV 477 (443) begins
"I'm leaving too. Shuya, you should get some rest early tonight and prepare for tomorrow's filming."
Mai looked perfectly normal when she said this. She walked away casually, without showing any anger or anything.
"Hmm... Mai is indeed strong; she's not even angry."
Hyakka crossed her arms and said.
"Isn't your attitude perfectly normal?"
Shuya replied.
Hyakka looked up at the ceiling and sighed, "How should I put it... I've gotten used to it by now? But I really don't understand Haruno's actions; her personality is so strange."
"Hmm, Hyakka- chan, you're still so direct."
Shuya help but chuckle; she was being far too direct.
But indeed, Haruno's behavior was too eccentric.
... It's so irresistible!
"So, you kissed Yukino?"
