MAHIRO AND A DOUBLE DATE

CHAPTER 29 OF THE MANGA

Japanese title: *Mahieo To Daburude-to*

## Previously

After the all-night sleepover at the Oyama household, Mahiro and Momiji have become ever closer together as intimate friends. At the sleepover, Mahiro took the heat for an accident that Momiji had during the night, with it looking like Mahiro had made the mistake. Now being so close to one another, Mahiro and Momiji are together 'like bacon and eggs'. Today, Mahiro gets wind that Mihari is 'going on a date'. So who does Mahiro ask to help her in getting to the bottom of this ? Momiji, of course !

## This Chapter's Story

" Take a good look at this gorgeous illumination ! The city is overflowing with couples in a Christmas mood ! "

Or so says the commentator on the TV. Mahiro is not impressed. She says that this is poison to her eyes! Mihari is not impressed either, that is, with Mahiro. She tells Mahiro that Mahiro should be playing video games right about now. This because, soon, Mihari is 'going on a date' ! Sure enough, in a while, Mihari is dressed and gone, soon waiting at the statue of the faithful dog. But Mahiro is not about to 'play video games', not when a more enjoyable and enlightening project is about to happen. Why, Mahiro even called Momiji to join her in this clandestine endeavor. Mahiro and Momiji are about to spy on Mihari, to see what she meant that she was 'going on a date' ! While waiting out of sight, Mahiro tries to fill in Momiji on what is happening, except Mahiro knows almost nothing as to 'what is happening' !

And here comes the date, apologizing that she is late ! IT'S KAEDE !!! Mahiro is clearly disappointed, saying that she knew all along it would be something like this. Right; now back home to the video games ! However, Momiji doesn't want to give up the project without a fight ! Let's tail them, she implores Mahiro. They might have a secret, hardcore, knock-down-drag-out Yuri relationship going on that nobody would ever suspect, continues Momiji. Mahiro only matter-of-factly replies that we're not talking about Miyo-chan here, are we ? Mahiro then reasons that is was she, Mahiro, that called Momiji out into the cold. It would be rude and impolite to split up now and go home. " Let's go !!! " Just at that moment, Kaede has a strong premonition that something might be amiss, and looks around. Mahiro and Momiji hide behind a hedge.

Mihari and Kaede go to a Kentucky Fried Chicken fast food place, and order a barrel of chicken to go. This they casually eat while they leisurely stroll down the walkway. Mahiro and Momiji tail them like shadows. The two on the date next get drinks from a snack bar. As soon as Mihari and Kaede leave the snack bar, Mahiro and Momiji step up and order the same drinks for themselves. Next, it's on to shopping. While the two on a date browse the aisles, Mahiro and Momiji watch from the secret hideout of a dressing room. Mahiro seems to be getting tired of the whole spy vs spy game, and wants to go home. But Momji has a better idea. Since we're here, why not go clothes shopping, too ? Momji wants Mahiro to pick out some cute winter clothes for Momiji to wear. Now it's Mahiro's turn to accept the fact that their spy project is turning into a real date for themselves, seeing as Momiji is dressed like a handsome young boy (sweatshirt, boy pants, fur trimmed jacket, knit cap), and Mahiro is dressed cute and feminine like an adorable tween girl (shirt, white pleated mini-skirt, black tights, double breasted coat). A cute teenage couple shopping together. How lovely ! Momiji only says, " Hey! ". But this is enough to trigger Mahiro to proclaim that what this looks like is absolutely wrong !

Nevertheless, Mahiro does what is asked of her, and selects a very attractive, ultra-feminine outfit for Momiji to try on. This she does. Mahiro proclaims success ! " HOW CUTE !!! " However, Momiji becomes mesmerized by the outfit, as her eyes turn into pinwheels when she sees herself in the mirror. Momiji is wearing a frilly, lace-down-the-front blouse, over that is a little girl's bolaro jacket, then a pleated mini-skirt with a tiny petticoat underneath that fills out the mini-skirt and really makes it stand out, white above-the-knee knee socks, and girl's mary-jane shoes. A huge lolita bow and headband has been placed in her hair at the top of her head. Momiji's first comment is that her skirt is ***so short !!!*** But Mahiro already has another outfit picked out for her to try on.

" Mahiro-chan, why are you here ? ", comes a voice from behind. Another voice says, " I knew it ! "

Kaede begins the questioning by stating that you two have been following us from the start, right ?

" Busted ", utters Mahiro. " But where's Momji ? ", intones Kaede. " A real date ! ", observes Mihari. Kaede spots Momji's shoes outside of a dressing room. She draws back the curtains as she announces, " Are you here, you naughty child ? "

***" WOW !!!!!!! "***

Momiji is wearing an authentic Gothic / Lolita outfit. She has on a white, formal, long sleeved dress shirt with ruffles around the wrists, a black bolaro jacket with soft gray trim, held together in front with criss-cross bands, and with white lace around the hemline of the jacket, a white shoulder and back covering like a sailor flap, with ruffles around the sides and back, and ruffles around the high neck opening, a huge pink bow adorns her throat, with a black rose in the center of the bow, below is a black multi-layered lolita knee length skirt with gray trim and gray Gothic Crosses around the hemline, a white petticoat that makes the skirt really stand out in a perfect bell-shaped couture, midnight black tights, and gray snow boots with white fur trim ! On her head is a Gothic / Lolita headband that is in the style of a sanitary napkin, black with white lace trim !

***" WOW !!! "***

" Awww ! So cute ! " , remarks Mihari. " Yeah, it's great ! ", adds Kaede.

Momiji picks up on the mood and excitement that her outfit has generated and released, and assumes a pose of her hands making some kind of incantation and summing movement. She then crosses her arms, with both hands in some sort of secret signal motif, one hand at her forehead with fingers spread out, the other underneath her arm with fingers in a defiant pose. **" GIRLS RULE SUPREME ! "**

*" **NO!!!** **Don't awaken, Momiji !** **Don't do it .......!!!** "*, shouts Mahiro !

" Isn't this pretty cool . . . . . . . . !?!?!?! " , barely utters Momiji ! It's now so quiet that one could hear their own heartbeat.

That evening, Mihari makes an offhanded comment to Mahiro, " I shouldn't underestimate you, Onii-chan. By the way, how long have Momiji and you been dating ? "

Mahiro retorts, " WHADDYA MEAN ***DATE*** ? If you are going shopping with Kaede, THEN JUST SAY SO !!! "

Mihari asks if Mahiro is worried that she, Mihari, might have begun dating ? Mahiro says that it's not like that! Mihari only giggles, then says that she had a reason to keep their shopping trip a secret, as she rummages around inside a shopping bag.

" MERRY CHRISTMAS, ONII-CHAN !!! " , shouts Mihari as she wraps a very ornate scarf around the neck of Mahiro !

" Gezzz ! ", Mahiro thinks to herself, " She got one over on me .......... "

Mihari tells Mahiro that Momiji also got a scarf, one that is an exact match to yours ! A matched set !

" Why ? ", implores Mahiro.

... " C'mon, now it's like we're on a date... since Momiji looks like " the boyfriend " . . . ( guess that makes Onii-chan [Mahiro] the " girlfriend "! )

timesen / 1 year ago
Onee-chan is shipping her (older brother?) no, little sister with the little sister of her best friend...
Seems legit...

"It's not Miyo-chan we're talking about" ---Mahiro

Ouch!

Chuuni Goth Loli Momiji, is one of the top 3 best Momiji's [ever].

karappo / 1 year ago
I have to admit. Momiji looks adorable in any cute outfit. (page 8)

Random Fanguy / 1 year ago
They keep saying she [Momiji] looks boyish, but I seriously don't believe that. She's plenty girly.
Although maybe that's just the art style.

This is yuri now. Little sisters, both.

We now live in a world where anyone can theoretically be a little sister in Yuri Love. Is this not paradise?
