"Li... Little Umaru, Little Umaru, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly grow this big?" Sogo Doma, who had slipped into character in an instant, immediately hugged his little sister. Don't ask him how he knew what was going on—Umaru would never wear that hamster pajama set in front of outsiders. The way things were now could only mean one thing: Umaru had definitely shrunk just now.
"Eh..." Sure enough, Umaru was instantly struck dumb with shock, but she lowered her voice and said, "Onii-chan, it wasn't Little Umaru. It was Komaru..."
Fortunately, Erina Nakiri and Arato Hisako were both left utterly bewildered by this sudden turn of events. A tiny little Umaru had become nearly as big as them in the blink of an eye—compared to such a bizarre phenomenon, Senzaemon Nakiri's exploding clothes seemed far less shocking.

"Wait a minute!" Erina Nakiri finally snapped out of her shock. "We didn't do anything..."
"Stop lying!" Of course Sogo Doma knew that, but could he admit it? No! He pressed his hand downward as he spoke. "My family only had one tiny little sister, and she suddenly became this big. Yet you're saying you didn't tamper with her?"
Umaru: "..."
She wasn't that short, was she?
Erina Nakiri was actually left speechless as well. After all, the little girl before her had been so tiny and so adorable just moments ago, yet she had suddenly become this big. Though she was still adorable, Erina herself wouldn't
