Himouto! Umaru chan R

The Master was as cute as always today...

She truly is an angel from Heaven.

Yo. Welcome back.

Close the door already! I'm in my boxers.

Oh, and the folks will be visiting Mom's hometown over the weekend.

As of tomorrow, it'll be just the two of us.

You wanna get some food delivered?

A-and so...

When I go back home today,

it will just be me and my brother!

What's so bad about that?

Our house is Hell as it is, but now it will be Hades!

How is Hades different from Hell...?

Hey, you should just stay here tonight!

WHAAAAAAAT?!

I-i-i-is th-th-that okay?

Yeah. I'll have to ask my brother, though.

Sure, that's fine.

Score!

I guess I'll head over to Bomba's place later.

I'm sure he'll be lonely without you around.

Huh? You already knew about this?

Huh? Yeah, he'd mentioned it at the Enoshima aquarium.

That was so long ago!

Well, guess I'll make dinner.

So full...

It was quite filling, wasn't it?

Well, I'm going to Bomba's. I'll be back tomorrow.

U-um, about me being here...

You'd rather I not say anything?

No, it's all right. I get the feeling he'd be worried otherwise...

'Kay.

Well, I'm off.

See you!

S-see you later.

Master... your brother is kind, isn't he?

Yup!

Kindness like this...

It sort of reminds me of Ebina.

Kirie, let's play a game!

Yes, Master!

It feels a little strange being under someone else's roof...

Well, what's YOUR house like?

It's pretty old and rundown.

Our house, huh...?

Big Brother! I'm back!

What the heck, Kirie? You're so late, that I was worried you'd gotten lost!

I-I took the long way home.

You don't say.

Big Brother!

Give me a piggyback ride! C'MON!

Sure. No problem.

Kirie...

Kirie!

Th-the Master is calling out to me while she's dreaming!

You're riding a fish...

A fish?! Don't tell me she's formed a bond with my storybook!

Kirie, you're gonna fall.

Fall?!

Well then, Master, I'll be on my way.

Sure. See you!

Woo-hoo!

That Kirie, I'm tellin' you...

Up until the start of elementary school, she'd be all like, "Big Brother!"

Are you listening, Taihei?!

Y-yeah. I'm listening...

Are you? Are you listening? You gotta listen!

But now, my Kirie...!

She's gone off and made some great friends, like Tanukichi and Ebina, and I... I...

Are you listening, Taihei? Well, Taihei?! Taihei! Are you listening? Hey, are you listening?!

H-hey! I am! Are you listening, Taihei? Well, Taihei?! Taihei! Are you listening? Hey, are you listening?!

Are you listening, Taihei? Well, Taihei?! Taihei! Are you listening? Hey, are you listening?!

Taihei?

Don't abandon me!

Taihei?

Taihei!

TAIHEI!

My, my... reading manga indoors on a hot day with the AC blasting sure is great, huh, Kirie?

Huh?

Kirie?

Huh? What did you just say?

I...

I love you!

They're ending it HERE?!

I can't stand it, Master!

And I bet it'll follow the standard pattern of him not hearing over the sound of the train!

It's kinda vexing, but you want to root for them because a romantic comedy needs a happy ending, huh?

Root for them...?

Say goodbye.

Kirie, what's got you yelling all of a sudden?

Th-that vision just now was my dark side... and that was something I would've said up till recently!

It looks like those two are a couple now!

So, for our next girls' day out...

If you two start dating...

What kind of boy would you like to...?

Umaru sure is cute, huh?

She's got a great bod, and she's smart too.

And good at sports!

She's perfect!

"Umaru"? That's MISS Umaru to you, punk!

I'm so embarrassed!

Kirie, what's got you crouching all of a sudden?

I didn't want to admit that I just can't get used to being part of a community.

All I would ever do is despise the people around me.

Master.

Huh?

I've... made an enemy I must defeat.

Kirie?

M-Master!

I... cannot root for love!

Huh?!

She sure gets emotionally involved with her manga...

You don't have to get that worked up about it, you know.

Wait a minute.

Kirie wants to be a storybook author, so maybe that's why she's taking this manga so personally.

In that case, I must give her a definitive answer, as her Master!

Kirie.

Y-yes?

There is no need to overthink this.

Only one thing is important...

you should just believe in what you want to believe!

What I... believe in?

Huh? Kirie!

H-hello.

What's going on? You're in your school uniform ...

There is something that I would ask you!

Huh?

You like Taihei Doma, don't you?

Whaaaaat?!

It was obvious from your reactions the other day.

I-I...

That is what I wish to discuss with you. I have decided on something this day...

Huh?

You want to root for them because a romantic comedy needs a happy ending, huh?

I shall root for your love with all my strength!

Whaaaat?!

You should just believe in what you want to believe!

And what I believe in... is my Master.

U-um...

O..okay!

Please leave this to me!

My little sister, Umaru...

is renowned for her beauty.

She's kind and smart, and graced with many talents. She's loved by young and old, men and women.

She's flawless, the perfect high school girl.

Well... that's what everyone seems to think.

This is Umaru when she's at home.

My lazy, dried fish of a sister... a himouto.

HEY! Get up, Umaru!

Gah! What, what's going on?

Now look here, Umaru: summer vacation isn't just for lazing around!

It's a time for you to do and experience things you don't usually have the chance to at school.

Are you listening?

Don't you worry, Big Brother. I may not look it, but I've changed.

See?

I always read Jumpu, but today I got Jumpu SQUARE!

Still, I'm not so sure what "Square" is supposed to mean...

This is not good. I have to at least get her outside!

Oh, yeah...

Umaru! There's a fireworks festival today!

You want to go?

There will be lots of big, beautiful fireworks!

Huh?

The first thing is to try to get her to an event that she'd like.

Nah, no thanks. There's too many people, and insects, and it'll be hot.

This isn't working.

Man, I was thinking we could buy some food from the stalls there...

Stalls!

I'm not buying all that! How greedy can you be?!

This is no time for sitting around! Let's go, Big Brother!

The festival's at NIGHT!

Don't sweat the small stuff.

Umaruuun!

She really is a different person outside...
