The Sister I Adore |  |
Rimi
Hello~.
Saaya
Oh, Rimi-rin. Hey, how are you?! We still have chocolate cornets left!
Rimi
Ah, no no. I didn't come to buy chocolate cornets today.
Saaya
Huh? Oh, okay... So a different pastry, then?
Rimi
Uhm... I wanted to come by to thank you for everything with the birthday show. The bread was delicious, and you really helped me out.
Saaya
Again...? Ahaha, it's alright. No need to keep thanking me, unless you want to make me blush~.
Rimi
But it made me really happy! The chocolate cornets were so good... and-
Kasumi
Heyyo~, Saaya~! Huh? Rimi-rin's here, too!
Rimi
Kasumi-chan!
Saaya
Kasumi! Nice timing! We were just talking about the birthday concert.
Kasumi
Ooo~. Oh, yeah! I know I said it already, but great job, Rimi-rin!
Rimi
Thank you! You know, I was really happy when you guys brought me those pastries.
Kasumi
Rimi-rin~. It's because you love chocolate cornets so much~!
Rimi
There's that too, but there was also the ones that spelled, "Go Rimi." I thought that was really nice.
Kasumi
Heh heh heh, I'm the one who came up with that idea!
Rimi
Really?!
Kasumi
Hey, Rimi-rin. You think you could guess who made which letters?
Saaya
Kasumi, there's no way anyone could gues-
Rimi
Uhm... I think the G and O were Kasumi-chan. R was Arisa-chan. M was O-Tae-chan. And the I-shaped pieces were Saaya-chan...
Kasumi
Whoa~! Amazing, Rimi-rin! You got 'em all!
Saaya
Wow, that was impressive. How did you know?
Rimi
Hm... Not sure. Just a feeling. The G and O were bigger than the others and looked a little rushed... Reminded me of Kasumi-chan...
Kasumi
Oh...
Rimi
Ah, sorry! I didn't mean it in a bad way! The R was smaller but pretty. Someone who knows how to work with their hands made it.
Rimi
The M-shaped bread reminded me of mountains, and the easy-going vibe those mountains created was really strong.
Rimi
And the I-shaped pieces had the best size, shape and balance. It's as if they were made by someone with experience... I think.
Saaya
I think you could say each of the pieces reflected our personalities. That would make it easy to tell who made them.
Rimi
Mhm. I think it's because we've spent so much time together that I could figure out.
Rimi
That's why when I saw those pieces of bread, it made me feel like we were all together. They helped me relax.
Rimi
... But maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration. Ehehe.
Saaya
Not really. I see what you're saying! I'm glad we could give you a push, even if it was just a little one.
Kasumi
Yeah! Good thing we made those pastries.
Rimi
I told my sister about what you guys did for me, too. She said, "It looks like you've made some good friends."
Saaya
Rimi-rin...
Kasumi
And I think you're a good friend, too! No, not even! You're a... great friend, Rimi-rin!
Rimi
Kasumi-chan...! Thank you...
Rimi
I'll be the one to help one of you next time!
Kasumi
Rimi-rin, you mean it?!
Rimi
Huh...? Yeah, I think so...
Saaya
... Kasumi, you're up to something, aren't you?
Kasumi
What?! No way~. Hahaha~. Why would I be doing that~?
Saaya
Oh, really? You're not thinking about getting help with something like, I don't know, your homework?
Kasumi
Uhh...
Rimi
Ahaha. Okay, homework it is.
Kasumi
Rimi-rin, you're so sweet~!
Saaya
Rimi-rin, you can't spoil her too much.
Rimi
Hehe. Kasumi-chan, I'll get you some chocolate cornets. You start on the homework.
Kasumi
What?! Y-You mean you're not gonna do the homework with me...?!
Saaya
Rimi-rin did her best to write the lyrics to that song all by herself. You'll only get the most out of it if you do it on your own!
Rimi
Ahaha... That's right, Kasumi-chan.
Kasumi
Aww~! No fair~!!

Rimi
Hmm... That necklace is so cute but so is this handkerchief...
Rimi
Oh! But this hair clip is nice, too... Sigh... There's no way I can choose...
Rimi
Ah, BanG Dreamer-san. Hello.
Rimi
Are you here to shop?
Rimi
Oh, me? Uhm. Well, I...
Rimi
We don't have rehearsal, so I thought I would try to find a present for my sister again...
Rimi
Mhm, yeah! Her birthday just passed.
Rimi
... Everything seems like a such a good choice, though. I can't decide...
Rimi
But we did have a concert by Glitter*Green on the day of her birthday...
Rimi
That show was full of excitement! Lots of people, like friends and classmates, came to celebrate, and there was a performance...
Rimi
Yeah, Poppin'Party played too!
Rimi
I was nervous about being on the same stage as such a high-level band, but... I wanted to create a song to give as a present.
Rimi
I talked with the girls in Poppin'Party, and I made the song... I even wrote the lyrics, which I never do.
Rimi
I had to make sure my sister didn't hear it before the party, so I was stuck in the studio... Ahaha.
Rimi
It was asking for a lot, but since it was a song for my sister, I wanted to write the lyrics myself, and Kasumi-chan let me...
Rimi
Thinking of the words for a song is really hard...
Rimi
But I think I was able to say everything I wanted with that I wrote.
Rimi
It was pretty tough, but everything was ready by the day of the party.
Rimi
Even with no time to spare, the rest of the band learned the song... Words can't express how grateful I am to them.
Rimi
And on the day of the show, we gave it everything we had, and everyone was happy with that we were able to do!
Rimi
After the show, my sister told me it was the best birthday present she ever received!
Rimi
And she said she could tell that I worked really hard... I was so happy because... I want to be just like her.
Rimi
Actually, I was too happy, and I started crying.
Rimi
Ehehe...
Rimi
To see my sister smile while hearing our song... And everyone in the crowd, too... All of that filled my heart with joy.
Rimi
Of course, I also appreciate my friends in Poppin'Party.
Rimi
They put up with all of my selfishness, made me chocolate cornets and Go-Go, Bread, they cheered me on and supported me...
Rimi
And when it came time for the show, they played with smiles on their faces...
Rimi
I feel so blessed...
Rimi
Now I want to find something I can help them all with.
Rimi
You think I can do it...?
Rimi
Thank you. When you say that, I feel a little more confident.
Rimi
BanG Dreamer-san, thank you so much.
Rimi
I like that my sister enjoyed herself, but I'm also glad we decided to take part in the concert.
Rimi
I was able to learn something during that time.
Rimi
At first, I created the song only thinking about my sister.
Rimi
But that's not enough.
Rimi
Sure, it's important to perform for someone. But I learned it's also important to perform for everyone.
Rimi
Ah... Ehehe. Sorry, my story went on for a little too long.
Rimi
Poppin'Party and I are gonna keep working hard, so please, keep supporting us ♪
