The chapters starts with mc descroibing how amazing and prestigious the school they will be attending, St. Liliana Academy

the siblings were going to tour the school both of them will be attending for the coming school year. mc as a transferee and sister as the secretary of the student council. mc was hesitant as he knows he is not as capable as his sister. the sister assures him he will be fine. in their convo, it's revealed it was sister who asked for mc to attend the same school when they live in together.

after the tour, sister had to do student council duty. before leaving mc, sister tells him to not at any cost go near the student council room. it was a warning for mc. at first mc was confused but he had to agree. he knew his sister was talking about the council president but she added there was something more.

mc then wemt on exploring all the while regretting that it was a mistake for him attending the school but he must accept it. in his thought, mc suddenly find himself on the sports field. upon realozing it, he decided to check on the woman tracks team that were practicing. suddenly, blond haired beauty appeared and accuses mc of being a pervert. mc immediately denies this and tells that he just want to bask and breath the air around the campus. this just escalated the thought of blond haired beauty. after a convo fill with innuendo, mc agrees to have blond haired beauty to guide him in the campus. though it was just a glint, it was unsual to find a hint of smile on an expressionless character that is the blond haired beauty.

but before they could start the tour, blond haired beauty commented once more in mc's odor, like the first time they met. this made mc mad since he made all the check before hand that there was nothing about his odor that was unpleasant. mc then asks which part of his body that smells. blond haired beauty didn't tell. it seems she jusr wanted to have a chat with mc and without telling mc about the odor she smells, the convo will always keep on going. as time passed on with the convo will with innuendo coming from blond haired beauty, the two failed to realized the time they spent chatting. blond haired beauty needed to leave, mc have no choice since it was done voluntarily and he didn't want ti take up much of her time either. in mc's pov, chatting with blond haired beauty may seemed annoying but mc does not dislike it. before parting, blond haired beauty tells mc her name, Nasuhara Anastasia, ana for short. (something i forgot to mention: during the convo of mc and ana, ana deliberately admits she liked to tease/annoy mc)

mc then meets sister. sister tells mc that his feel of hesitation has suddenly vanished. mc connects it to ana. ana and mc's conversation had melted away his reluctance. mc then tells his sister that it must be because he made acquaintance with a student. although mc confirmed it was a girl. sister was not reluctant when she hears mc describe the girl acquaintance to have a lovely smile. mc did not mention ana's name. sister mentions that she fears a girl who hardly show expression, much like ana. then sister suddenly got jealous as he never say that her smile was lovely. mc amswered with:

“That’s obvious, isn’t it? Akiko’s smile is lovely. It’s not necessary to go out
of my way to state the obvious. After all, your smile’s the one I love the most
in this world.”

with that the sister collapsed as her nose bled. she was ecstatic to hear mc say that.

mc talks to gin over the phone. their conversation was about the new acquiatances mc got in the school. gin tells mc that ana is probably from a very prestigious family and that is a good ally to have. the president, nikaidou, is a good person to keep as a friend in moderation. then gin, like before, asks mc to reconsider his decision of moving out. it's also revealed her that gin was also asked by their adoptive fostrr families to persuade mc. but mc is set on stone to be with his sister. gin had to give up his prospect for the time being. gin tells mc that he'll be visiting soon.

akiko was outside waiting for mc to finish with his call.

when the phone call finish, akiko enters mc's room. she was wearing a kimono and she appeared spectacularly elegant in mc's eyes. the sister then kneeled and bowed her head it was a sign of great respect and appreciation. the sister tells mc how grateful she was for mc for everything he did. and she tells her of her own shortcomings and aplogogized for her doubts while waited for her brother to come back to her. mc felt it was unfair that he too owed her just as much. mc tells her how grateful he was to have a wonderful sister and he also apologized for his own shortcomings and also for also doubting his sister. then mc praises the sister. this in turn made the sister bashful. when mc somehow feel her embarassment, mc can't help but push on with his compliments for his sister. this made his sister collapsed. probably from being too joyful and happy to hear everything mc told her.

Two sentences in their convo that are surprised attacks, according to akiko:

“Even more than back then, you’ve turned out to be really beautiful.”

sawatari ginbei haroumi

It's the first day of school. still at home, the dorm the twins currently live in, mc is lamenting how weird he lookes like in his new school uniform. he find himself looking not good wearing the uniform in front of the mirror. so mc asked for his sister's opinion. upon meeting her, mc finds out the sister actually wear glasses but she decides not to whenever she's with mc. she says it degrades her cuteness despite being able to see clearly. without the glasses, akiko always have a hard time but she forces herself to be able to normally. their conversation went on to how akiko should wear it, while akiko tells mc that she planned on ditching them. but mc urged her to, so she had to. but as a compromise, she'll only not wear them when she's with mc. as mc tells her she'll protect her in case she couldn't see anything, as a sign of love, akiko felt ecstatic but had to control herself, if not her nose would bleed again. mc also rwalized asking her sister about his look is pointless as in akiko's brother complex pov, anything mc wears he'll look good. mc also felt refreshed and more at ease after having converse with akiko.

after that, two went off to school.

when they arrived, the first person they met was ana. she insulted mc. but mc knew she was just teasing her as she had already said. suddenly, sister got mad. she reveals that ana is the vp of the student council and also the one person mc must avoid othe than the president. but ana then casually insult akiko while telling her thst it was already too late, as mc and ana had already met each other before and akiko don't have anything to do with mc and ana being together, all the while insulting akiko. when mc suddenly tells akiko to calm, this agitated her more. suddenly, ana confessed to mc. mc couldn't have a response because this was all too sudden. and akiko just lost it and suddenly lashing out her thoughts.

suddenly, the student council president appear. she tells both akiko and ana to be her women. but both decline. then when she noticed mc. she tells mc to be her man. mc declines. suddenly nikkaido, the student president, appoints mc as assistant to the secretary, which is akiko. akiko was happy at first but when the president tells that she wants mc to be close to her as well, akiko suddenly got mad. ana also got mad and started a rivalry against president for mc. when akiko wants to join, she was disregarded as both say the two are siblings.

while the three are having feud, mc had somehow placed the three girls in order. akiko being cutest, ana in terms of beauty, and the president in terms of sex appeal.

suddenly, sawatari ginbei haroumi appeared to stop the quarrel. mc was surprised to find his friend. SHE was wearing a uniform the same as akiko. when mc asked why she was there, gin says it's her revenge on mc that she mentioned over the phone.

mc's thought on the matter:

"Something like that she’d pay me back twice-fold, that she’d prepare for a
proper full-scale review of my actions, and that before long she’d come to
visit."

mc was surprised that gin transferred to St. Liliana academy. but akiko was even more surprised, the bestfriend whom mc talks over the phone all the time was a girl. 

gin, as introduced by mc, is a close friend of mc while he was in kyoto in the takanomiya family. gin comes from a complicated family household which has yet to be said.

gin then joins the fued between rivals. mc suddenly asked why she did it, gin then answers him in cryptic message:

“You’re always treatin’ me so cruelly. When a girl goes to the far-off east on
her own chasin’ after someone, just what do you think that means? I guess
this proves that denseness isn’t curable. You’re a pretty good example for
that, if I do say so myself. Well, that’s just the way Akito is, I guess…”

with this, mc was just left more confused.

and then after a bit of introduction, somehow the president felt assured that everything was going well. she decided the three of them rivals, president, ana and gin to have a girl time and just skip the school opening ceremony. akiko on the other hand, was left out. she protested why she wasn't included. the three tells her that she doesn't need to since she's blood related to mc. when akiko continues to protest, the pres pass the obligation of explaining to mc:

“You’re a good girl, you know?”
“R-Really…?”
“Really. You’re obedient, honest, and cheerful – you listen to everything I
say, and you do things without me even asking. If you’re not a good girl, then
who is?”
“So I’ve lived up to Onii-chans expectations…?”
“Of course. You did way beyond my expectations. And you’re not only a
good girl, you’re a cute one as well.”
“Really?!”
“Really. Your smile’s cute. And it’s cute that whenever you laugh, your teeth
are showing. How your eyes give off that slightly vivid yet soft feel is cute,
and how your bangs collect in uniform just like a straight line – it’s cute as
well. Your energetic way to walk’s cute, how your back’s perfectly straight
when you sit’s cute. And how you easily start sulking’s cute, and so’s the
way you quickly recover your sunny nature. I’ve always treasured you.”
“Wawa― Saying something like that, wawa―”
“I love you, Akiko.”
“I-I love you as well! I, too, have always loved Onii-cha―”
“Although it’s still nothing more than the love of an older brother for his
younger sister.”

akiko suddenly ran off crying when she told her frustration towards mc. mc knew it would happen and so she let her be. the three rivals set off to the student council office have their girl bonding. gin was also offered the position of treasurer.

as a closing remarks, mc reveals that he and akiko are not exactly blood related as was known throughtout the volume. but he keep this as a secret.
