My Sweet Hero Girl

p5

I haven't seen Mashiro-san in one month, two days, 2 hours, 7 minutes and 16 seconds...
I'm so inexperienced to be crying over such a thing...

If I could, I'd go to the share house right away, see Mashiro-san's smile, eat Mashiro-san's handmade cloud bread... and then... and then...
Mashiro-san...

Mashiro-san, Mashiro-san, Mashiro-san, Mashiro-san, Mashiro-san, Mashiro-san, Mashiro-san, Mashiro-san, Mashiro-san, Mashiro-san, Mashiro-san, Mashiro-san

Sora-chan!

p6

Ehehe. Welcome back~

I-
I'm...
h-h-...

p7

...having dreams about Mashiro-san yet again!!
Dreams!?
And yet again!?

That's a cute apron.
Still, I'm happy to see Mashiro-san, even in a dream.

Geez~

p8

It's the real deal today~!!

It's not... a dream...?

Mashiro-saaaaaan!!
Yes~<3

p9

...Sora-chan~

Don't cling too much. It's dangerous~
It's cute, though.

I'm sorry!
I'm just so happy that you're in my house...!
It's fine~

I'm glad you're happy.

Working every day must be rough.
You're even commuting from this house, right?
Yes. The guard unit's dorm is currently getting an extension.
We've gotten a lot of new recruits lately.
It's a little far, but I commute there every day thanks to the birds!

Although on days when I'm running late, I stay over at Elle-chan's house...
Fufu. The perks of a foster parent...
Sora, let's have a pillow fight.
It's time for good children to go to bed.

...The rest of my family is accompanying Red on his summer trip right now too...
Hah!

p10

Is that why you're here!?
Yep!
I thought you'd struggle with the house on your own, so I wanted to help~! I'm on summer break too!
Finish my homework too~

I ran into your family before they left, so I made dinner with your Mama...
Tada~! Sora-chan's Mama's stew with freshly baked bread~

My favorites! Thanks for the food!!

Your Mama praised my cooking too! She said "take good care of Sora~"!
I'll do my best in your Mama's place!!

...Erm.
Mashiro-san...

p11

...R-Rather than filling in for Ma-... for my Mom...
it's more like...
you're here to be my... w-wife...

Your wife, huh~
I see. Sora-chan's...
...

...Heh?

p12

Hah! Is saying something like a bother!?
I-I-I-It's not a bother at all!

In that case...
I have a favor to ask of you tonight, Sora-chan...

A... favor...?

B-But first, I think I'll warm up in the bath~
...Erm, should we go in together?
I-I think we'd better not, for multiple reasons...

Took baths together in the share house

...It's not too cramped, is it, Mashiro-san?
No, I'm fine...
You can scooch in a little closer too, Sora-chan.

p13

*I drew the layout of the Harewataru household from my own imagination.

Is it alright that I asked to sleep in your bed, Sora-chan...?
Of course! It's a little embarrassing to be sleeping here with you, though.

Tracksuit (her own) so she can go training first thing in the morning
Pajamas (her own) that she brought with her

I'm an only child, so I'm envious of how lively your room is...
...Is that so?
This room's always just been for me, Red and this bunk bed.
When I saw your huge house, I thought it was like a mansion for a princess.
Fufu. Maybe it is.

When we first started looking after Elle-chan,
I sometimes got to see your big sister side, Sora-chan.
...
Mashiro-san?

p14

...Yeah. When I saw you today, you looked kinda mature.

You're a little taller than before, Sora-chan.
Not by much, though.
I've grown taller? I haven't noticed...
We've been apart for a while~

The Sora-chan I went to school with

is now working as a blue guard.

p15

...When I saw how mature you had suddenly become...
I was worried you'd think of me as a same kid from middle school...
Maybe I was standing on my tiptoes so I could be like your Mama.

Mashiro-san...

S-Sorry!!
You're working so hard while I'm saying all this weird stuff!

p16

I'm the one who should be sorry!
I was so happy that you came that I've been getting all merry by myself!!

I haven't thought about how you feel at all, Mashiro-san...
I'm so inexperienced.

It's okay, Sora-chan.
I was happy too.

...Ah.
Sora-chan?

Mashiro-san, if you're not sleepy yet...

p17

do you want to go see the stars?

Is this...

the lake where you walked across the bottom with guts and heart?
Ahaha... I guess that happened too...

This place is full of embarrassing memories for me,
but I always wanted to bring you here someday, Mashiro-san...

p18

My lifestyle may have gone through a sudden change,
but I myself haven't changed from when I used to come here to cry as a kid.
Running against a wall, worrying, feeling disgusted at my lack of experience... It happens every day.

Even so, the fact I was able to realise I've grown just a little
is because you're always watching me, Mashiro-san.
Sora-chan...

p19

I-I might just be acting pretentious, though...

Earlier,
I was so happy to see you that I almost cried.

I become so worried when I don't see my beloved Mashiro-san. I haven't grown at all...
So...

Could you keep watching me by my side from now on...?

p20

...I'm sorry, Sora-chan...

I can't believe I dropped the sandals you lent me in the lake...
It can't be helped since it's so dark.
If anything, I'm glad they were just my old ones!

Also,
I-I'm not heavy, am I?
I feel like I've... um... gotten f-fatter lately...

Erm...
Mashiro-san, I think that's...
?

p21

~...
I didn't mention it earlier, but...

Rather than getting fatter...
It seems your b-breasts... have grown, Mashiro-san...
!?

I had a feeling as much, but now I can feel them hitting against my back...

Th-They're not hitting!!
I-It's not like I've been staring at them!!
That so? Geez... Don't scare me like that.

You've been watching me a lot too, Sora-chan...
...Wanna touch them later?
I-I will not touch them!!
*She touched them.

p22

Well then, I'm off!

Yeah, take care.

I'll bring your lunch over later~
I've made plans to hang out with Elle-chan too...
Lunch!! I'm looking forward to it!

...One more thing.

p23

M-M-Mashiro-san!?
...You said I was like your wife yesterday, so...
It's a farewell kiss that I saw in a drama...

p24

Besides!
I felt annoyed after you called me your beloved and did nothing else!
Ehehe
Th-That's...!

I guess my feelings of love have beaten yours~?

Girl Who Loves Sora-chan

Hm?
Sora-cha-...

Huh?
?

p25

!!?

Mm

Sora-cha...

p26

I can't ignore that, even if it's from you, Mashiro-san.
Hah...
I love you way more.
I'm sure of it.

Geez...
That's cheating...

You're gonna be late, missy~
*Bird

I got lost for a moment there...
...W-Well then, next time for sure...!
Y-Y-Yeah! Take care now...!

p27

I've done it now~!!
You're looking pretty red, Missy! You got a cold or something!?
N-No... Don't worry about me...

Ehe...
Mashiro~? Your face is looking pretty red today.
Wh-Why is that, I wonder~?
In fact, Sora's so full of energy today that she's doing all of today's work by herself.
The third unit has nothing to do because of her...
Please leave it to me!
It's hero time!
Uwoooah! Here I go!
