EPISODE 3 OF THE ANIME

(Manga Cross-Reference---Chapters 7, 9, & 10, and Omake 9.5)

## Previously

Major changes in Mahiro's personality and lifestyle have been occuring ever since she woke up one morning, and noticed that her transition to that of an anatiomically correct girl was, more or less, complete. As soon as her first day as an authentic girl, Mahiro was instructed how to begin abandoning the negavite traits and attributes that she had been used to when she was presenting as a 'nale', and to start to embrace positive attributes and personality characteristics that many times are thought of as being female oriented. Mahiro was taught to bathe every day, and to begin wearing clean, yet cute female clothing. She was snookered into going outside for the first time and doing healthful exercise, like running with Mihari. Mahiro found out that she is not aroused by XXX video games and DVD's, at least not like how a male does so. And finally, Mahiro had an event that 'sealed the deal' that she was now an real, authentic girl, and not a cross-dressed boy---She had her first period. But much more transition needs to be done.....

## This Episode's Story

Typical of Mahiro these days as a girl, she waits until the last few seconds before she decides to go to the restroom. This particular day, she dashes out of her bedroom, and makes a 'bee-line' for the upstairs toilet. She swings open the door, only to find a strange high school girl already sitting on the toilet. What gives ? Mahiro closes the door and backs away from the door, forgetting about the urge, and pondering what she has just seen .... ?!? Soon, the sound of a flushing toilet is heard, then the door is opened, as the stranger smiles sweetly at Mahiro !

>>>>>>>ANIME OPENING SEQUENCE<<<<<<<

About the time of the restroom incident, Mihari comes out of her upstairs bedroom, only to find the strange girl hugging Mahiro like they are long-lost intimate friends ! Mihari leads the way downstairs to the front room, wherein the strange girl sits down on the floor, and has Mahiro sit in front of her, so as to continue to hug Mahiro. Mihari introduces the girl; she is a friend from middle school, and her name is Kaede. Continuing to be apprehensive, Mahiro silently debates with herself, wondering if Kaede is a Gyaru Girl (\*), and furthermore, what would she think if she knew that she, Mahiro, has transitioned from male to female ? A pervert, maybe ? Kaede wants to know the name of the cute little girl that she has taken a liking to, hugging her in fact ? Mahiro only squeaks out, "....mahiro...." Recalling, Kaede mentions that she never knew that you, Mihari, had a little sister ? Mihari answers rather cryptically by saying that it's "a family affair!"

Soon, Mihari asks Kaede if she could keep Mahiro company for a while, as she has to complete a research paper for her college course. Kaede agrees, as Mihari leaves the room. Left alone together, sitting on the couch next to one another, Kaede is relaxed and affable, whereas Mahiro is still apprehensive and nervous. Breaking the ice, Kaede begins by asking Mahiro what she likes to do with her free time ? Read manga and play video games is the reply. Kaede whips out her iphone and calls up a popular puzzle game that she enjoys. However, Mahiro does not play that particular puzzle game, so Kaede just 'brushes it off', and returns to her iphone. Just then, Mahiro's stomach grumbles, therefore, Kaede suggests that they fix lunch.

Leading into the kitchen, Kaede looks into the fridge, and declares that something can be made from all the leftovers. Fixing food in the kitchen is completely foreign to Mahiro, but Kaede proudly calls herself a 'domestic' ! She has her own little sister, after all, and she does all the cooking for the both of them ! Inviting Mahiro to carefully watch, Kaede shows her kitchen prowess. Soon, a delicious meal is on the table for two. After prayer, they both 'dig in'. The food is excellent, declares Mahiro ! An extra portion is held back for Mihari. Afterward, they do the dishes together, and Mahiro finds that they have lost their worrisome feelings, and now she is becoming somewhat enamored towards Kaede. Thinking to herself, Mahiro comments that she thought that Kaede would be more of a Gyaru 'Wild Child', rather than the friendly person who is being amiable towards her.

Both Mahrio and Kaede end up sitting on the couch, close to one another. However, Mahiro's perception of Kaede is about to get a rather extreme update ! Beginning the conversation, Kaede comments that apparently, Mahiro has 'never done it before', has she ? Maybe Mahiro needs a little 'demonstration' ! Approaching Mahiro, Kaede leans into her, as Mahiro falls backward to being prone on the couch, with Kaede hovering over her. "She's acting frickin' crazy!", Mahiro's mind silently screams 'for all she's worth' ! For her part, Kaede calmly and serenely coos that there is nothing to be embarrassed about, just leave it all to me ! Now close your eyes. A 'frightened out of her wits' Mahiro has no choice but to merely close her eyes, and expect the worst. "My head will explode like a party favor into a million colorful shreds, just like what Miahri told me would happen !", yells out Mahiro !

In a little while, Kaede announces, "We're all done !", as Mahiro opens her eyes, and Kaede gives her a small hand mirror. Why, Mahiro is 3X times more cute and adorable, now that she is wearing skillfully applied light makeup for the very first time ! "So all this time you were talking about makeup, not .... ", exclaims Mahiro. Kaede responds that Mihari is not into makeup after all, at least not like I am. (Mihari has come downstairs and is sitting at the table, eating Kaede's homemade meal.) Casually, Mihari gets up from the table, and comes over to the coach. There, she shows Mahiro, with Kaede also looking on, a picture on her iphone of what Kaede looked like in middle school without any makeup whatsoever ! Kaede takes one look at the picture, and demands that Mihari delete it, right now ! "Not a chance !", asserts Mihari. That being the case, Kaede turns her attention to Mahiro, asking if the two of them can go to Mahiro's bedroom, and color-coordinate a pretty outfit for her ! "Definitely NOT !", exclaims Mahiro, thinking to herself that her bedroom is still filled with XXX video games and DVD's.

Late that afternoon, it is time for Kaede to leave. Out on the sidewalk in front of the house, the three say their 'goodbyes'. Kaede walks away, as Mihari remarks that Kaede is so good with being around people and getting them to 'open up'. Mahiro agrees that Kaede was a very nice person, after all. In fact, she is like the perfect Onee-chan (Big Sister), adds Mahiro. "You could learn a lot from her, Onee-chan (lit. Big Sister) !", nonchalantly remarks Mahiro as she walks back to the house. Mihari is nonplussed, especially about being called 'Big Sister' !

>>>>>>>ANIME EYECATCH (Kaede is kneeling down on all fours, and looking behind her.) <<<<<<<

The next day, Mahiro is glued to the video monitor in her bedroom. A movie trailer is being shown for the recently released movie, *Titanic in Space*. Mihari comes in, and mentions that she wants to see that movie. So does Mahiro, but she is reluctant to leave home by herself to go see it. Why not the both of us go together, offers Mihari ? Sure enough, that very afternoon, the two siblings are at a gigantic mall. Of course, Mahiro is apprehensive about being in such a large crowd, even with Mihari along. Mihari is looking on her iphone to find out where the movie theater is inside the mall. In a few moments, who of all people walks by ? Kaede-chan, of course, who is out shopping ! As a consequence, Kaede suggests that they go shopping before the movie starts. Mihari states that there enough time to do just that. Mahiro thinks that she has been tricked into a girl's shopping spree, but Kaede sees it as a 'date with Mahiro'. So off they go !

The three of them hit the stores and check out all of the girly stuff ! But soon Mahiro is tired, and wants to take a break on the sofa in one of the clothing store's women's department. This she does, sipping on a bubble tea. Right above the sofa is a poster board advertising this year's new female swimsuits, *on sale* ! In record time, the two girls, dragging along Mahiro, are in the teen swimsuit department, looking at all the latest fashions, mostly bikinis. Kaede and Mihari plunge right in, with exhausted Mahiro looking on. Kaede selects a very revealing lime green string bikini. Mihari declares that she has not worn a girl's swimsuit since PE class at the middle school's pool, yet she also picks out a somewhat skimpy pale blue and white bikini. So now Mahiro is snookered into trying on a couple of bikinis. However, she complains that it is like wearing your bra and panties out in public. As such, Mahiro settles on a yellow one-piece tank style swimsuit, that would not look out of place on a 6 to 8-year-old little girl.

But what about the movie ? All three hustle to the movie in record time, and make to the theater seating just as the movie is starting. About the time that the Space Ship Titanic is smashing into something huge in the vastness of outer space, Mahiro has to make yet another mad dash to the ladies room. But the line to the restroom is 'a mile long'. Eventually, Kaede notices that Mahiro has been gone for quite a while, and goes looking for her. Mahiro is found in a stall in the ladies room, but 'could not hold it', and has wet herself. Thankfully, Mahiro's mini-skirt is not wet. Kaede asks Mahiro to wait in the stall, as she will be right back. "This will be our little secret !", declares Kaede. Meanwhile, Mihari is 'freezing to death' with the theater's air conditioning on 'full blast'. Mahiro and Kaede return, with Mahiro smiling, and whispering to Kaede, "Thank you, Onee-chan (lit. Big Sister).

>>>>>>> ANIME EYECATCH (All three girls are wearing their new swimsuits. Kaede is sitting on the floor, hugging a sitting Mahiro) <<<<<<<

The next day, and after a strenuous and lengthy video game encounter, Mahiro notices that it is already the afternoon, and well past lunchtime. Where is Mihari, and my lunch ? Subsequently, Mahiro finds that Mihari is not in the kitchen, so goes on the prowl for her, thinking that she had better not be sleeping so late. But that she is ! Opening her bedroom door, Mahiro sees her sister in bed, languishing in some sort of illness or distress. "Your period ?" , speculates Mahiro ? "Just a sudden cold that has overcome me, from sitting in that theater's ice-cold A/C !" , is Mihari's response. Mahiro apologizes, with Mihari countering that she has already taken medicine, and now just needs to rest. She tells Mahiro that she will have to do with instant ramen, and that she can fix it for herself for lunch, before Mihari descends into a coughing fit. (Boiling water for ramen ? A daunting task, indeed !)

Mahiro was able to successfully boil water for the ramen, but then she just sits there and stares at the paper cup !?! Her conscious begins to berate her something fierce. She notes that Mihari is always busy with her college work and her clandestine research and experiments, she never seems to get enough sleep, and she does all of the housework and cleanup duties, too ! Meanwhile, I am the one who often sleeps well into the afternoon ! Her conscious now becomes Judge, Jury, and Executioner---

**"I CAN DO THIS . . . . I DEFINITELY WILL DO THIS . . . . ONE DAY OF TAKING CARE OF THE HOUSE IS A PIECE OF CAKE . . . . It's my duty as a Home Security Officer. . . . I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT YOUR SISTER CAN DO !!!"**

Fired by the Rapture of Redemption, but not knowing how to do anything, Mahiro strikes out on her first domestic duties adventure. In the laundry room, she is able to stoke the washing machine, but does not know how to add the proper combination of the various cleaning agents. So the cleaners are just dumped in at random ! She does manage to work the vacuum sweeper, but it catchs something that gets all tangled up. Towards late afternoon, it dawns on Mahiro that she needs to prepare Mihari's evening meal and take it to her in bed. But what to fix ? Only one thing will do---Rice Porridge !!! (Is that even possible ?)

A confused Mahiro calls Kaede on her cell phone to ask how to make rice porridge ? Kaede learns that Mihari is sick and offers to come over to help out. Mahiro thinks a few moments, and declines. "I'll be fine", she explains to Kaede. (Really ?) Operating on gut instinct, Mahiro is able to boil the rice and proceed with the recipe. Soon she is congratulating herself on her new found cooking abilities. In a while, there is a knock, knock on Mihari's bedroom door, and in comes Mahiro with the steaming bowl of rice porridge ! A very surprised Mihari sits upright in her bed as she inquires who made it ? Mahiro ? Responding, Mahiro says that she can't guarantee that it will taste good. Mihari breaks out into crocodile tears, telling her sister she is crying because you, Mahiro, was able to actually cook food ! Mihari tasts it. "It's so bland, but *I am so happy !!!*", shouts Mihari. "I think I forgot the salt.", confesses Mahiro. After finishing the meal, Mihari thanks Mahiro for her kind, loving concern, and promptly falls back onto the pillow. Soon, she is in a deep sleep, dreaming.

DREAM SEQUENCE---

Mihari and Kaede are both in middle school. One morning, Kaede and Mihari exchange 'Good Mornings', with Kaede then asking Mihari about the new hair clip that she is wearing today ? Mihari happily relates that it was a present from her big brother, for her doing so well on a recent school test. "Must be nice to have a sweet older brother!", replies Kaede. Mihari then asks Kaede if she has any siblings ? Yes, a younger sister, but we don't have much in common....! Too bad. "But she is really cute, and I like to bake cookies for her.", admits Kaede. "Teach me how to bake!", implores Mihari. (END DREAM SEQUENCE)

Next morning, Mihari awakens, feeling much better. She rises up from the pillow, and notices Mahiro sleeping at the foot of the bed. Mahiro is kneeling, with her head resting on her arms, and her arms folded onto the bed cover. Each finger of her right hand has a bandage on it, with the index finger having two. Mihari quietly gets out of bed so as not to disburb the sleeping Mahiro, dresses, admires her hair clip, and goes downstairs. She notices the awful mess made in a frightfull attempt to do housework. Nevertheless, Mihari begins baking cookies. Mahiro finally comes downstairs, still wearing the bare-midriff top and short shorts that she had on yesterday. Are you, Mihari, okay ? Yes, she is fine now. Mahiro tastes one of the cookies, as Mihari comments that it was a recipe that Kaede had taught to her.

Mihari silently thinks to herself that way back when, she and her older sibling were really close to one another. She wanted to always please 'him' in what she did, and earn 'his' praise. Then they drifted apart, and 'he' quit spending time with her, almost to the point of us being total strangers. But now, with her sibling's sex transition and gender affirmation, in a way we are getting back together like the good old times. Our family roles are reversed now, as I am now the Onee-chan (older sister), and Mahiro is the Imouto (little sister), yet I wish that we could stay like this, for a little while longer, and maybe into the future, too !

( \* ) **Gyaru Girl**---

Gyaru is a Japanese transliteration of the English slang word "gal", meaning 'girl' in the sense of a young woman (a shoujo or josie). Gyaru is a description of many people who follow many types of Japanese Street Fashion, but can also refer to a particular kind of street fashion. Gyaru fashion is typically characterized by having brown-tinted or tanned skin (as in not their natural skin color), heavily bleached or dyed hair (mostly shades of dark brown all the way to bleach blonde), highly decorated nails, and very dramatic makeup. The makeup style typically consists of dark eyeliner and fake eyelashes used in ways intended to make eyes appear larger (as in anime and manga girls), as well as contouring the face for a slimming effect. The choice of fashion for clothing is typically that of summer oriented clothing, as in wearing a sailor suit or a short-sleeve top and a regular or pleated micro mini-skirt worn with leg warmers. Wearing a skirt that is so short that showing and seeing one's panties, is not an uncommon fashion choice. Hair is many times worn in exaggerated, sexy twin tails, with gaudy ornamentation.
