My Stepmom's Daughter Is My Ex Episode 2

Mizuto is reading a book in his room

Then he hears a knock on his door and goes to check who is knocking

He opens the door and see that it is Yume

She walks in

Yume Irido (FL)

I've completely reached my limits

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Is something wrong?

Yume Irido (FL)

How much longer do you plan on calling me Yume like it's nothing

Mizuto Irido (ML)

You're calling me Mizuto too

Yume Irido (FL)

That's better than you using mine

In Japan they call each other by their last names only close friends and family call each other their first name

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Not much that we can do now that we share a family name. What would you suggest I call you?

Yume Irido (FL)

That's obvious, isn't It? it's perfect

Mizuto Irido (ML)

What is?

Yume Irido (FL)

Onee-chan (it means older sister in Japanese)

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Huh?

Yume Irido (FL)

We're siblings now, so addressing me as your older sister makes perfect sense, no?

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Hold it, hold it, hold it

Mizuto Irido (ML)

You're the older sibling?

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Gimme a break. It's the other way around

Mizuto Irido (ML)

I'm the oldest sibling here *pointing at himself

Yume Irido (FL)

*sighs Let me put this simply, since your brain cells seem to be off duty right now

Yume Irido (FL)

Listen well

Yume Irido (FL)

Our society considers the firstborn child to be the eldest

Yume Irido (FL)

That's number one

Yume Irido (FL)

I was born before you. That's number two

Yume Irido (FL)

Therefore, I am the older sibling

Yume Irido (FL)

It's the logical conclusion. You follow?

Mizuto Irido (ML)

But if my memory serves, weren't we both born on November 3rd?

Mizuto Irido (ML)

So we are the same age, correct?

Yume Irido (FL)

By the day, perhaps, but that's not everything

Yume Irido (FL)

You must also consider the time of birth

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Time of birth?

Yume Irido (FL)

I asked Mineaki-san in order to settle this matter (san is used with a name to show respect)

Yume Irido (FL)

I was born at 11:04 AM

Yume Irido (FL)

While you were born at 11:34 AM

Yume Irido (FL)

In other words, I was born 30 minutes earlier. You with me?

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Didn't Japan used to consider the firstborn twin to be younger in ancient times?

Yume Irido (FL)

But we're not twins

Mizuto Irido (ML)

We're not even siblings in the first place

Yume Irido (FL)

Hey, wait a second...

Yume Irido (FL)

We consider the firstborn to be the eldest now anyway

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Tch

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Just go along with it, would you?

Yume Irido (FL)

Thought you could fool me?

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Whatever. I'm the older sibling. QED

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Case dismissed

Yume Irido (FL)

I'm going to be the older sibling

Yume Irido (FL)

The thought of being your little sister creeps me out

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Same here!

Mizuto Irido (ML)

I'd take anything over being your little brother!

They both start glaring at each other

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Wait, hang on

Yume Irido (FL)

What?

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Glaring at each other won't get us anywhere

Mizuto Irido (ML)

At times like this, any reasonable person would settle things with a game

Yume Irido (FL)

Irritating choice of words, but you're right

They are both thinking about the game they should choose

Yume Irido (FL)

In that case...

Yume Irido (FL)

How about this? We've both accepted the fact that we'll have to hide our previous relationship and act like any normal step siblings would

Yume Irido (FL)

We've both been doing well so far, but either one of us may yet slip up. So whoever screws up first loses

Mizuto Irido (ML)

So whoever first act in a manner unnatural for a step sibling

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Becomes the younger brother or sister?

Mizuto Irido (ML)

So do these rules apply even when our parents aren't around

Yume Irido (FL)

Of course

Yume Irido (FL)

Also, that's per slip up

Yume Irido (FL)

The winner gets to decide how the younger shows it every time

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Hmm

Mizuto Irido (ML)

I guess there'd be no point if it was sudden death

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Okay, let's go with that

Yume Irido (FL)

Then the game starts now

She slides his bookshelf

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Wai-What are you doing?

Yume Irido (FL)

Oh, what's wrong? Isn't this normal sibling behavior

He realizes

Mizuto Irido (ML)

(I get it now)

Yume Irido (FL)

(It seems he's finally realized the true nature of the rules I laid out)

Mizuto Irido (ML)

(Even if it's an obvious provocation, I'm not allowed to show irritation over any action)

Mizuto Irido (ML)

(that would be considered normal among siblings. Such a reaction fall into the category of "unnatural for a step sibling)

Mizuto Irido (ML)

(In other words, this was just a ploy to get under my skin)

Mizuto Irido (ML)

(Stupid girl... She proposed those rules just for that?!)

Mizuto Irido (ML)

(She's twisted)

Mizuto Irido (ML)

(This is bad. My own personal Pandora's box is right there! That drawer contains things I can't let anyone see!)

Yume is about to open that drawer

As she's about to open it

Mizuto Irido (ML)

(What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?)

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Forgive me

Mizuto Irido (ML)

I can't bear to fight with you any longer

Yume Irido (FL)

*Looking at him confused

Mizuto Irido (ML)

If I've upset you, I apologize *he stands up and goes close to her

Mizuto Irido (ML)

I'll even get out of your sight

Mizuto Irido (ML)

So please, Can we put this behind us? *acting coy

Yume Irido (FL)

(She remembers when he was young, and they were dating)

Yume Irido (FL)

Irido *blushing

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Yup, you're out!

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Siblings don't call each other by their last name

Yume Irido (FL)

*flustered, her face turning a deep pink

Yume Irido (FL)

But you're out too, aren't you?

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Wanting to bury the hatchet is completely normal for siblings, don't you think?

Yume Irido (FL)

*Shaking her head

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Now then, since this is the first round, let's keep it simple

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Just say it

Yume Irido (FL)

H-How should I say it?

Mizuto Irido (ML)

However you'd like

Her shy cuteness was on full display as she fidgeted, her legs touching, her face flushed

Yume Irido (FL)

O-Onii-chan (this means older brother)

Mizuto Irido (ML)

*He blushed then looked away

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Well, you've learned your lesson

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Now you know not to mess with me. You may fancy yourself a hardcore mystery fan, but you and I simply aren't on the same level up here.

Yume Irido (FL)

You never used to be this mean to me back then! *on the verge of tears

Mizuto Irido (ML)

There, there. *patting her head

Mizuto Irido (ML)

You're right, I'm sorry

Mizuto Irido (ML)

Nee-san (which means older sister)

Yume Irido (FL)

This is the part of you I always hated, how you flip-flop like that!

Yume Irido (FL)

Stupid Onii-chan!

Then she goes out of his room and slams the door
