Chapter 14: At the Mall, Again

MIRACLE GIRL KAKERU

AT THE MALL, AGAIN

CHAPTER 14 OF THE MANGA

It's the Winter Break from school for both Sora and Sho. It's also the time for much shopping with regard to the holidays that are soon to be here. The first morning of the break, Sora approaches Sho and asks him to take her to the Mall. Sho readily agrees, as he has recently received a sum of money from his grandfather. He wants to check out and obtain the latest video games. As Sho gets ready to leave, Sora drops a caveat on her older sibling. Onii-chan (lit. big brother), go with me as my Onee-chan (lit. big sister), pretty please ? Sho mildly protests, saying that the two of them are only going to the Mall, not on an all day shopping junket. However, Sora points out that you, Sho, can't do your Special Training unless you become my big sis. Hasn't big sis Rin repeatedly told you that ? So, right then and there, Sho does a modified Henshin, wherein he changes into a girl, but does not access her Battle Maiden costume. Instead, the Henshin stops after being unclothed, and Kakeru merely dresses herself in girl's clothes. Today, she selects a white sweater top, over that is a button-up-the-front sweater jacket, then paired with a plaid, pleated mini-skirt, and black tights (it's still winter). Sora is already wearing a logo t-shirt, a dark gray pleated mini-skirt, and black tights.

Outside, walking to the mall, Sora suddenly wraps her arm around Kakeru's arm, and begins romantically walking arm-in-arm. The two look really adorable ! Sora states that she loves her big sis ! Kakeru is somewhat embarrassed, but writes it off as part of the training. Once inside the mall, Sora and Kakeru are browsing, holding hands, and still looking ever so romantic. Kakeru asks her imouto (little sister, Sora) what is she going to use her holiday money for ? More bras and panties for big sis, of course ! Kakeru insists that she use her money for herself. Just then, two adult women walk by, and one remarks how wonderful it is to see two cute girls holding hands together. The other woman says that you are so right. Something clicks in Kakeru's mind and heart, as she begins walking somewhat proud and smug. Sora observes that big sis sure is having fun, and it's because big sis got called 'cute'! Right ? Kakeru denies that is the case, but Sora tells her that she, Sora, already knows that big sis is super cute.

Sora suddenly hears her name called. It is Momiji, the little sister of the school's Student Council President. Sora and Momiji exchange holiday greetings. A bolt of fear strikes Kakeru's heart. If Momiji is here, that means that her big sister must be around her somewhere. Sure enought, right behind Momiji is Akana-chan, the President. Sora and Akana-chan exchange holiday greetings. But where is Sho, asks Akana-chan ? Kakeru (Sho) is hiding behind Sora. Why ? Kakeru whispers to Sora that she is afraid that if Akana-chan comes to know that Sho goes out in public as the girl Kakeru, then the Prez with brand him at school as a 'cross-dressing freak' ! Then the whole class with be teasing and tormenting him. Can't have that ! Sora makes up a story right on the spot. "Sho is at home playing video games." So who is this behind you ? She is my cousin, her name is Shouko Nakabayashi. But she is just a little shy. 'Shouko' steps out from behind Sora and introduces herself. Akana also introduces herself. Akana then remarks if Shouko is the girl who she sees almost every day after school going into that pre-fab house (the Hideout) a little ways away from the school ? Flabberghasted, 'Shouko' doesn't know what to say. But suddenly, Akana and Momiji's Mom calls for them, and they take their leave. Whew ! Sora loudly giggles. "Shouko-chan, indeed !" Kakeru spits out, "Shut it...right now!"

Sora reminds Kakeru that she was going to buy something. Right ? Yea, but let's get something to eat first. Kakeru now hears her name called. It is Rin-san ! The three exchange holiday greetings. Rin then comments that it has been a while since she has see Sora; you look like you have gown as tall as Kakeru ! Sora only loudly giggles. Kakeru whispers to her that she is being so sly. Rin only smiles, as she observes the two siblings standing side-by-side. Rin silently comments to herself that Kakeru has gotten so cute lately. And Sora has been cute, big time, all along. The both of you are like pretty, adorable angels standing next to one another. Really, innocent young girls are the best, and the most lovable. But Rin's mind checks herself, asking herself if she is turning into a hardcore lolicon ? Rin's mind strongly chastizes herself. Rin is supposed to be a high school girl of notoriety and respect, the Student Council President of Kenritsu Karumi High School. You, Rin-san, need to calm yourself down right now, like right this instant ! To get her mind off of the sudden lolicon daydreams, Rin offers to take the two siblings to lunch, her treat ! Sora cheers that we're going to have lunch with big sis Rin !

Sitting in a booth at one of the Mall's food court restaurants, Rin orders for herself a set of Carbonara. Rin then asks Kakeru if she wants a kids meal ? No way ! Kakeru is a growing girl, and wants a real meal, A DOUBLE HAMBURGER ! Sora will have the Saikyu set, with fish on the side. Rin then orders three glasses for the soda machine. After the food is served, Rin asks Kakeru about her meal ? Very tasty ! Sora loves the fish, too ! After everyone is done eating, Rin orders a coffee for herself, whereas the siblings have melon soda. For desert, it is parfaits all around. As they are being consumed, Sora offers a taste to big sis Kakeru. Kakeru leans over, as Sora feeds the spoon of goodies to her mouth. Rin sees the innocent, yet highly erotic interplay happening between the two girl siblings. Once again, like a jolt of high voltage, the lolicon feelings engulf her. And once again, she has to deliberately shake off and purge such emotions with an iron will and a diamond-like heartfelt purity and serenity. Rin's mind screams at her; *what's with you,* morphing into a lolicon ***twice in one day ?***

Sora breaks Rin's self-conflagration by remarking that big brother (Sho) would prefer rice instead of sweets, but big sis (Kakeru) is the complete opposite. Kakeru mumbles what is wrong with that ? Rin silently observes that Sho/Kakeru's preferences are slowly changing, changing into more feminine tastes and selections. Is this happening because of how often the boy Sho is changing into a the girl Kakeru (it is, see Omake 11.5)? Outside after the meal on the sidewalk, and with the shopping all done, Rin offers the two some friendly advice before going home. Be careful on the way home; bad guys could be attracted to you two, and cause you a lot of trouble. Kakeru, however, is full of cocky self-confidence, saying that if that happens, she will become the Battle Maiden, and beat them into a pulp ! Rin remarks that monsters from the unknown outer space regions are not the only things that are dangerous. Certain humans can be just as dangerous as the monsters. And you two, being young, cute, attractive teen/tween girls, are especially vunerable, and are likely targeted by the bad guys. Be extra careful !

All this good advice seems to 'go right over Kakeru's head'. She walks away full of herself, as she shouts, "DON'T WORRY ! *NONE OF THAT IS EVER GOING TO HAPPEN !* Let's go, Sora !" Just then, a white mini-van sreeches to a halt right in front of Kakeru. The sliding side door opens, and a two tentacles emerge, and wrapping themselves around Kakeru, pulling her into the mini-van. The door slams closed, and the van speeds off ! All of this done in only seconds, and all done right in front of Sora and Rin ! Rin screams Kakeru's name, but to no avail. **KAKERU HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED !!!**
