September, 2015

It isn't like Yayoi dislikes her new half-sister, but between her and her two stepbrothers, it is Masatora who has most taken to spending time with the baby. When he enters the living room with a wailing baby in his arms, it is no reason to be surprised.

Seeing that Ryuuto is closest, Masatora pushes the baby toward him.

"Bro, she won't stop crying!" Masatora reports tearfully. "What do we do?"

Yayoi has been working steadily on her next manga, but now she is paying attention. From the moment Ryuuto takes the screaming infant, Masatora runs out of the room. A moment later, Ryuuto's eyes widen.

He turns to his stepsister. "Yayoi, help! I don't know how to fix this!"

"Girls don't like boys who tell lies, Ryuuto."

Ryuuto groans under his breath. "Please? I don't want to change her diaper!"

Yayoi stares him down. "Is that how you ask for a favor?"

He sighs, but relents. "Dearest Big Sister, please show me how it is done."

"Okay, I'll do it for you, but you have to stay and watch!"
