A Couple of Cuckoos (カッコウの許嫁)

Amano-san.

Wh-What now?!

I think the two of us should pair up.

They're going to be in the culture festival.

Nagi, too?

He stayed home to study last year, didn't he?

Nagi can be surprisingly motivated when there's a girl involved.

He took after me!

Guess we'd better pop in.

Yeah, sure, but...

But what?

Sachi says we absolutely can't go.

Which means we absolutely have to go, right?

Oh, yeah, of course!

Sachi is never straightforward.

Hoppy

Umino-tei Diner

Closed for the day

Monshiro-cho Shopping District

Onii?!

Hey, did Onii just come here in a car?

He wasn't here.

And why are you here?

I just stopped by because I was in the area.

Aw, so it wasn't because you missed us?

That person looked just like him.

You came back to Japan out of nowhere. What a surprise.

And to see your kid's culture festival, no less.

You've never even been there for parents' day yourself.

It's too boring.

Seems you've pushed a pretty harsh condition onto Erika.

I suppose.

There's no sense in having them live together forever.

Now, then, what will our two children do?

Culture Festival

Episode 11: That's the First Time I Ever Found You Attractive

Welcome, master!

To the Class 2-A maid café!

They're both so cute!

I should ask for pictures later.

Gotta make it tasty!

Kyun, kyun, kyun!

We currently have a wait time of one hour.

Be sure to take a ticket.

Man, look at Class A.

They're killing it.

My class is killing it because...

Okay, party of four, over here, please.

Here you are! Service!

...my parents have joined the fray!

Help me, Onii-chan.

Sachi?!

"Onii-chan"?

Seriously?

Where's the kid sister rental?!

Find the class that's doing it!

Sister rental?!

Jeez, Sachi, you could have told me you were here.

Never mind that, Onii...

Studying during the culture festival is the height of lonerdom.

Shut up.

I have the great task that is the M-1 coming up.

This is my brief respite.

A Ticket

You don't mind if I take your ticket, then, do you?

Bye.

That's your brother?

You don't look alike.

Nagi-kun.

You think so?

I'm here.

What?

Don't "What?" me.

We're walking around the school together.

Huh?

Escape Room Game

Haunted House

1st Prize

Hurry, Nagi-kun! They're starting!

Wait!

Wait, Amano-san!

Sorry!

So that's my...

Oh, Romeo.

Oh, Juliet.

Oh, Romeo.

Oh...

That was a blast!

School events can be fun once in a while, huh?

I'm glad I got to spend time with you at this school.

What brought that on?

What about you?

Huh?

I'm asking, what about you?

Amano-san, you're hiding something from me.

I just never told you because there's no point.

Then tell me.

What?

You mean now? Right before the M-1?

Okay, so...

I don't want to hear it.

Could you not make it sound like we'll lose if you say it?

Don't ask, then!

You don't need to worry about me.

We're going to win no matter what.

You could have told me you already knew.

I was feeling the pressure all by myself.

I feel stupid.

I didn't think there'd be any point in asking.

I don't know what it's about, but it doesn't matter, because we're going to win.

You know, Nagi-kun...

You're more mentally resilient than you look.

That's the first time I ever found you attractive.

Here we go!

It's time for the Megurogawa Academy High School After-Party, also known as the M-1!

We have a packed roster of amazing talent!

Got your kawaii Takahashi

Notice me, Hiro-sama Yonezawa

Who will stand victorious?

The winner will be chosen by audience vote.

Ten imitations of language teacher Maeda-sensei.

Language is thus life!

Megurogawa Sisters duet.

Are Nagi and Erika-chan up yet?

Where did Sachi go?

They may be high schoolers, but they're still children.

I suppose I shouldn't have expected much.

And now, we have a guest from the special entrant category.

My biggest oshi!

The unstoppable ponytail duo, Love & Happy, brings you a live performance!

Here we go, Sachi-chan.

They don't recognize us, do they, Ai-chan?

Oh, they're so cute.

It's so nice to be young.

Hey, where's Sachi?

These two smell like pros.

I wonder which agency they're with.

And here we go.

The song is "Love & Happy Rivals in Love"!

They win! They absolutely win!

It's an expedited parcel of cute!

Or so we would like to say,

but special guests are not eligible to win.

Thank you very much!

And now for our next act!

The time is right for them!

The biggest duo of the day, Hiro and Shion!

Hiro-chan's up.

Let's get a look at Segawa-san's M-1 skills!

Hiro-chan!

Hiro-senpai!

You got this, Shion!

The two of us...

are forfeiting.

Segawa-san...

Why?

This is my M-1.

Are you sure about this?!

This was the only way Umino-kun would have participated.

I need him to give it his all and win, or we won't have a legend to end the legend.

What?! That's so badass!

All right, let's get back to it.

The next duo is Ama-Umi House!

Here we go!

It's Nagi-chan!

Sheesh, Sachi! She's going to miss it!

Well, let's see what they're made of.

There was an accident that day.

The two of us, who happened to be born on the same day at the same hospital,

were swapped at birth.

The son of poor eatery owners, Umino Nagi.

The daughter of a well-off hotel tycoon, Amano Erika.

We met on our seventeenth birthday and learned of that fact.

And that's us.

We apologize for having kept this a secret until now.

That is all.

Fire!

Huh?

Where are the cheers?

Nagi-kun, I don't think this is landing.
