Story by Akira Sugano
Art by Etsumi Ninomiya

Shuu Asuou, an SF writer whom Taiga Obinata worked together with as an editor, turned up in front of Obinata's household with his 'brother', Yuuta Asuou. Obinata brothers - Taiga, Juu Sanan, Akinobu Jinan and Mayumi - were shocked, even more when he asked whether they'd heard from Shima-san. 'How did you about know Shima-nee?' 'How'd I know her... I'm her husband.']]></description>
