Intro
When you return home from school, you hear Cocoa's groans coming from the yard.
Rushing to the yard, you see your older brother, Masato, beating Cocoa.
Cocoa notices Guest and reaches out a hand.
Ugh... Guest-san... h-help me...
Huh?
Masato looks back while still gripping Cocoa by the collar. Then, the crazed expression from a moment ago vanishes, and he instantly flashes a bright smile.
Guest, welcome home. There's that ice cream you love in the freezer.
Your brother stares at you with a smile, while still pinning down the pet dog he was just punching.
This bizarre sight is just another day in the Sonokawa household.
