2. Salutations.
3. Behind the dazzling scenes of the Blume selection, Sumika and Kanoko butt heads. I hope that both of their feelings pluck at your heart strings.
1. I've kept the feelings that were born that day hidden...
2. I have until today, and I will from this day on.
3. ...all this time.
1. "I'm not done talking to you."
2. "Didn't you want me to be the blume?"
3. "So you're not even going to listen to my request?"
1. "I'll bring hime-chan back to me some other way."
2. "...about the blume anymore."
3. "I don't care..."
4. "Please don't interfere anymore."
5. "If I become lady blume..."
6. "...I'm going to decree that, 'schwestern pairs can never be annulled.' "
1. "But..."
2. "...romance tore apart everything we had."
3. "Before you and hime-chan and even yano-chan were here..."
4. "...we had two other students in the salon."
5. "Kanoko-chan..."
6. "...I need you to hear what happened."
7. "Back then, in the salon..."
1. She quickly became popular with the guests.
2. Later, a third-year named goeido joined.
3. She, along with mai-san and myself, was one of the founding members.
4. The first was a second-year named saionji.
5. ...saionji-san.
6. Though, she did have an allure that drew people in.
7. I really couldn't stand her.
8. She had a way of narrowing in on people's insecurities...
9. You could never tell what goeido was thinking.
1. "I've taken our guest's order..."
2. "Saionji-san..."
3. "I'll take care of-"
4. "Oh..."
5. "...but what am I supposed to do now?"
6. "I can't always be relying on you, saionji-san."
7. "I want to get this right."
8. "..."
9. "Won't you teach me once more?"
1. It's nothing to worry about.
2. "You dummy!"
3. "It's a little thrilling, no?"
4. "What are those two doing skulking around...?"
5. ...could always be justified to a certain degree.
6. Every-thing Goeido did...
7. 'What's there to do about it?'
8. Inputting order tickets is something that we try to avoid showing the cutomers.
9. It only makes sense to go into the back to show her.
10. "...tachi-bana-san?"
1. "It's fine if that's what you really think..."
2. "You're taking lessons in serving from a mere second-year."
3. "No, I haven't."
4. "...been playing with me much lately."
5. "You haven't..."
6. "It seems there's no role for me to play."
7. "I was worried that that might be putting you in a foul mood."
8. "...but saionji-san's been spending an awful lot of time with me, hasn't she?"
9. "Is that so?"
10. "I'm not the sort to quibble over such trivialities."
11. "It's so that you can become accustomed to serving, isn't it?"
12. "What's this all of a sudden?"
13. "..."
1. "If I was in your shoes, I wouldn't like it..."
2. "I really pity saionji-san, then."
3. "...seeing my own little sister growing more fond of another upperclassman than of me."
1. "Hang in there, tachibana-san!!!"
2. "What about their sisterly vows...?!"
3. "There's trouble...! Trouble in paradise?!"
4. "..."
5. "This is just something to amuse the customers."
6. "No need for you to worry."
7. "Don't be afraid, sumika-chan."
1. 'What's there to do about it?'
2. By the time I realized it, it was too late to take it all back.
3. Always making moves no one could disapprove of.
4. That was her M.O.
5. ...our bond as schwestern was being torn apart.
6. And, as they got closer and closer...
7. I think at that point, they had already become lovers.
1. "And same to you, sumika-chan."
2. "..."
3. "You too..."
4. "...yoko-san."
5. "Good work today."
6. "...see you later."
7. "Well..."
8. "Today was fun, wasn't it?"
9. "..."
1. "Then what about weekdays...?"
2. "Huh?"
3. "Mai-san..."
4. "I'd just like to change as many shifts as I can."
5. "...could we move more of my shifts to weekends, instead of weekdays?"
6. "Great work, girls!"
7. "Then I'll try and work the weekdays as much as I can, so please..."
8. "We usually have yoko-san on the weekends, so that's already plenty..."
9. "I'm just going to start closing up, so feel free to head out!"
10. Is romance really that important?
1. ...just for the sake of keeping it alive?
2. So important you'd prioritize it over everything else around you...
3. "None of the servers are doing their work!"
4. "Tachi-bana-sama!"
5. "..."
6. "Mai-san..."
7. "...I'm going to have to leave you alone for a little while."
8. ...from bringing romance into the salon...
9. If only I had stopped her sooner...
10. I should have put a stop to it sooner.
11. "...?"
12. "All of my big sisters have vanished!"
1. "Sumika!!!"
2. "...wearing a kreuz?!"
3. "...why are you..."
4. "I'm sorry..."
5. "...but I want to be schwestern with yoko-san..."
6. ...goeido became her big sister instead.
7. My schwestern-ship with saionji-san was annulled...
8. "Take off your kreuz, sumika..."
9. ...I tried to believe...
10. ...that she was a better big sister than me.
11. "Still..."
1. Could this really be what romance was all about?
2. Schwestern who were also lovers would obviously get along well.
3. I tried to tell myself...
4. The two of them were completely lost in their own little world...
5. ...that things were surely better this way.
6. It was like the world of liebe was being woven into the threads of reality...
7. But I was wrong.
1. "It's been fun, yeah?"
2. "...guess that's it for me."
3. "Well..."
4. ...like it was nothing.
5. She tossed saionji-san and their relationship and everything to the curb...
6. Goeido ended up quitting liebe due to changes at her primary job.
7. ...saionji-san could no longer continue in the salon.
8. Having been tossed aside like that...
9. Saionji-san was the only one who had been serious about it.
1. "I won't be just..."
2. "...some good girl..."
3. "I... Won't..."
4. "...your love for hime-chan into the..."
5. "So, you can't bring..."
6. "I won't!!!"
1. "I will never..."
2. "...give up on hime-chan."
3. "I don't care about schwestern or the blume or anything anymore."
4. "Please..."
5. "Just leave me alone already..."
6. "...the relationship you have with her now is going to fall apart someday, right?"
7. "But as long as you have feelings for hime-chan..."
8. "..."
1. "I won't do anything."
2. "Kanoko-chan..."
3. "That's the kind of 'love' you have, isn't it?"
4. "And then we won't be able to continue the way things are now."
5. I'm not going to confess to her...
6. Hime-chan will never fall for anyone.
7. Things are fine as they are.
8. ...or anything like that.
9. I'll just stay her friend forever.
10. We'll be together forever, just like this.
11. And that's fine with me.
1. "So, what else is there for you tell me to give up?"
2. "I'm not going to do anything."
3. "...so you aren't... Going to give up on this?"
4. "There's nothing to give up."
5. "..."
1. "Huh?"
2. "Guess I'm just a little down..."
3. "I'm fine."
5. "No, I mean, it's nothing like that..."
6. "I just wanted to talk to you, hime-chan."
7. "If you've got something to gripe about then say it, okay?"
8. "Well, you're always bottling things up, kanoko!"
9. "And don't hold back!"
11. "If anything happens, I'll tell you."
12. "Okay..."
2. "Yeah."
3. "Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow then."
4. "Good night, hime-chan."
6. I feel a lot better now.
7. Hime-chan really is amazing.
9. I'll work even harder tomorrow...
11. ...hime-chan.
