MAHIRO AND GIRL'S NIGHT ( PART 2 )

CHAPTER 28 OF THE MANGA

Japanese title: *Mahiro To Garuzu Naito 2*

(Anime Cross-Reference---Episode 8)

(Story note---This Chapter is a continuation and the conclusion of the Flashback that began with Chapter 27, and continued through Chapter 27.5)

## Previously

The Flashback to the time of the winter break tells of how Mihari thought that Mahiro might misuse her free time and revert back to the old debased, degraded habits that they did as a male. So, Miahri invited Mahiro's three closest friends to a sleepover at the Oyama household. Mahiro was sure surprised, but fell right in with the activities that were suggested. A snafu occurred when it became time for the girls to take their evening baths before the sleepover, however, with Mahiro bathing with her sister, Mihari, things worked out well for everyone involved, more or less !

## This Chapter's Story

FLASHBACK CONTINUES FROM CHAPTER 27.5---Mihari exits the bathtub first, leaving Mahiro to finish up by herself. When Mahiro steps out of the bathroom, the three friends are all waiting their turns for taking a bath. Asahi comments that MAA-HIGH-RON smells so nice. Mahiro quips that it is just the shampoo that she used. As the bathtub is now just about filled with hot water, Momiji announces to Asahi that now is the time to go. She also tells Miyo-chan to get in, *now* ! Miyo-chan meekly stammers that maybe she should wait and bathe alone. Momiji sharply points out that it was Miyo-chan's idea to have the friends bathe together. Miyo-chan tries one last objection; that it will be too cramped in the tub with three girls inside. Without speaking, Momiji gently pushes Miyo-chan into the bathroom. Asahi follows. Mahiro thinks to herself that the reason that Miyo-chan is backpedaling and wanting to bathe alone, is because she is embarrassed at anyone looking at her ample, impressive, adult-sized bust (See Chapter 22). For better or for worse, all three girls pack into the tub together. Asahi belts out her honest assessment of the current situation---**"CRAMPED!"**!

A knock on Mahiro's bedroom door turns out to be Mihari with an armload of futons. Right now, Mahiro is the only one inside the bedroom; the three girls are still frolicking in the bathtub. Once inside, Mihari says that she will lay out the futons. Mahiro wants to know if it is okay to be sleeping in the same room with the other three girls ? Mihari points out the obvious---of how weird it would be for her to sleep elsewhere during a sleepover. Unless Mahiro *just has to* sleep with Mihari ? Mahiro apologizes for her comments made while both where in the tub ( See Chaptet 27.5 ). Mihari reassures Mahiro; Mahiro is absolutely harmless.

At that moment, the three friends burst into the bedroom, all three sweet and clean, all three dressed in their PJ's ! Asahi jumps on the futon that she wants to sleep on, thereby inadvertently intimidating Mahiro. Mihari asks Momiji if it was cramped in the tub with all three ? Momiji replies that everything went fine, except for a small incident of someone admiring the size of Miyo-chan's boobs ! Mahiro tries to help by telling Miyo-chan that she looks so mature and adult-like, a real beauty ! But this actually unnerves Miyo-chan, with her only stating the cryptic comment that she 'only wants to watch'. Mihari now takes her leave, with Asahi shouting, " Bye, bye, Doctor !"

First order of business is who sleeps where ? Mahiro makes the first move by claiming her own futon that she has slept on since she first got it ! Next in a squeal of delight, Asahi claims the futon that she was tugging on earlier. Immediately, Momiji challenges Asahi for the rights to that particular futon, with *Jan-Ken* ( See Chapter 27 Lookback section )! The intensity of the game is awesome ! But in a few moments, it is all over, with Asahi giving the 'Thrill of Victory' sign for all to see ! Momiji tactfully tells Mahiro, since her futon is next to Asahi's, that Asahi has terrible sleeping posture.

    After the last two futons have been decided upon, Miyo-chan, in a mysterious and bizarre mood, announces---

" *It's finally time for some* **GIRL TALK !!!** This is the *real part* of a girl's sleepover ! "

Momiji wants to know what they are going to talk about ? Asahi jumps right in with the scary story about----*"The Youkai Makura Gaeshi* " ( lit. 'The Pillow Flipper' ) ! She begins by saying that this is a true story that happens to Asahi ( remember, Asahi talks in the third person ). **"IT"** appears every night by Asahi's bed. 'IT' flips pillows over to change the way someone is facing. Mahiro asks if this is supposed to be real girl talk ? Miyo-chan comments that this is like '101 Ghost Stories', not real girl talk. Momiji says nothing, but is visibly shaken and scared. She shouts out, kinda scary herself---

" **BAKA (STUPID) ASAHI !!!** WHY ARE YOU TELLING A SCARY STORY ??? "

Mahiro says that this story isn't that scary after all. Momiji only trembles all the more and pulls the sheet over her head. Momiji announces, from under the sheets, that she is going to sleep ! Asahi apologizes, but to no avail. Miyo-chan pleads that she wanted to have some **Love Talk** !!! Mahiro thinks to herself that a scared Momiji is 'all too cute' !

So the sleepover quiets down all too quickly. In a couple of hours, Momiji wakes up. She has to use the toilet. But the futons are all laid out together; she would have to step on sleeping Asahi to get to the bedroom door. Momiji resigns herself to try and hold it until the morning. Next to wake up is Mahiro. She is freezing, as she now has no sheets or cover blanket. Asahi, next to her, asleep, has taken them and is hugging them like a bedtime toy ! She really does have horrible sleeping posture, Mahiro thinks to herself as she tries to extricate the coverings from Asahi's grasp. But, no can do ! Asahi won't wake up, and she won't let go.

After a while, a shivering Mahiro thinks to herself that this is an emergency ! She will have to step over Momiji to get to the bedroom door, to go out into the hall, and retrieve more sheets and a blanket. As she begins to move, Mahiro very quietly whispers " Momiji ". This awakens Momji, as she sees Mahiro moving, and holding onto a pillow. Only one thought pops into Momiji's mind---**" MAKURA GAESHI !!!** ( The Pillow Flipper ! ) " This is absolutely too much for an already apprehensive and jittery Momiji, she 'lets go' ! Mahiro quietly apologizes, but as Mahiro moves across Momji's futon, she finds it thoroughly wet . . . . . . . .

In a while, Momiji and Mahiro are in the laundry room. Momiji is dressing herself in a clean pair of PJ's. Mahiro tries once again to apologize, telling Momiji that she, too, has recently 'messed up' ( See Chapters 9.5 & 21 ). She knows that girls need to use the toilet fast, huh ? Momiji is silent, but Mahiro tells her to return to the bedroom and sleep in her, Mahiro's, futon. Momiji wants to know where Mahiro will sleep ? Mahiro only mumbles, " Good question ?!? "

Mihari is sound asleep in her bedroom, in fact, snoring. This until the bedroom door slams shut, awakening her. It's Mahiro. Mihari asks *what is it this time ?* Mahiro only states, " Don't ask ! " Mahiro crawls in bed with her, and in a few moments is sound asleep, leaving an awakened Mihari with only a puzzling look on her face.

Next morning, a wet futon is seen outside, drying in the morning sun. At the breakfast table, Mahiro begins the tale of woe and intrigue by saying that she is so embarrassed. She finishes up with the comment that she drank too much juice last night. Mihari only comments that there was no helping what happened, after all. Momiji, sitting next to Mahiro, very carefully whispers to her that she should not have to take the blame. Mahiro whispers back that it is fine, just keep it our secret. Miyo-chan was actually awake when the wet futon happened, but she kept very still and only quietly listened intently as to what was going on. Although she doesn't fully know what happened, however, when she sees the two girls sharing some sort of intimate 'girl talk', she tells herself that "Silence is Golden", as far as anything she may know about what happened. Mahiro wants to know where Asahi is ? She is still sleeping; she is horrible at getting up. Asahi is actually right now sleeping on her back, with her pillows thrown off of her futon. She suddenly snaps awake. Seeing her bare futon, she gasps---

" It's the **MAKURA GAESHI !!!** "

( FLASHBACK ENDS )

## Chapter Lookback and Commentary

Miyo-chan suspects she knows what happened with regard to the wet futon, but she tells herself that she will also keep the secret, as far as herself trying to confirm exactly what happened.

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

The mangaka of *My Brother is Done For*, and the creator of all of the characters in the manga, gives their unbiased opinion of one of the characters, namely Miyo-chan. The mangaka predicts that Miyo-chan, in a couple or so years, will become a very attractive, full-figured, well rounded, young adult female.

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

The mangaka of *My Brother is Done For*, also provided an Omake (Extra) 4Koma panel to further explain what happened between Momiji and Mahiro the night of the sleepover. This 4Koma is from the viewpoint of Miyo-chan, based on what she though she heard, and could piece together without anyone knowing that she was awake and laying very still.

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

Miyo-chan thinks to herself that this was delicious, both the breakfast, as well as the experience of overhearing two girls engaged in very intimate 'girl talk', last night, as well as this morning.

That Miyo-chan's inner delusion. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

The gender bender tag is slowly disappearing, soon we will have no idea that this was ever a gender bender [manga].

I bet Miyo-chan got her big breasts touched by Asahi.^^
But she does look pretty mature for her age, she's gonna be a great Onee-san beauty in a couple years. Too bad she will also have a complex because of her boobs experiences. ^^

Mahiro taking the blame for the wet futon like a real knight. <3

Miyo-chan must have felt so filled [with admiration about the girl talk] at the table. XD

Wetting yourself at your friend's house at a sleepover has got to be one of the most embarrassing things that can happen to you. I feel bad for her [Momiji].

Cute chapter tho.

Mahiro took the bullet for her friend, she's a true 'man'.

Midnight Tea / 1 year ago
I get where you're coming from, but the core appeal [of this manga] is that it's a slice of life where you get to play with the idea of being one of the girls yourself. Mahiro's kind of a cipher character....... but without the "Call the FBI" level YIKES of that other panties manga that shan't be named and ideally one day forgotten.

That said, I really would like a future chapter focus more introspectively on how Mahiro feels at this point in time about their predicament. One they've now chosen to continue being in [as an atomically correct girl] as of the hot spring episode. Would definitely help retain the unique flavor of this particular manga.
