"You put up a good play. Very good."
Yuki said as he patted on Yumi, who turned her back towards him in a tandrum.
"Really?"
Yumi looked back and stared unbelievably at her brother's face, thinking just when did he become so natural at comforting others. Well, Yuki had always been a gentle boy, but his had always been bad at expressing it.

"Sure. Though playing the role of a villian sister, you were too cute to be hated."
"Hey, isn't that a problem on my performance ability...?"
"What's wrong with that? That is not your character originally, right? Among us the reviews were excellent."

It sometimes amazed Yumi how quick-witted his encouragements were. If only I could be at least half like Yuki, speaking the accurate words fluently, Yumi thought to herself. If so, she could be a more robust and supporting petite soeur to her onee-sama.

"Are you coming this year as well?"
"Well, I need to go, I guess. No matter what plans you have on your side."

Then Yuki threw again some discouraging words to Yumi.
"This year, I will be there with you to humiliate ourselves."
