Rascals

(Patsumi 7yo, Mimiko 6yo)

After Mimiko moved in with Patsumi's family, the two girls quickly became friends. After leaving her family, Mimiko really needed a trusted friend and Patsumi readily accepted the role of her "older sister". She made sure that Mimko grew accustomed to her cover story, often saving the day when he other girl slipped (she was always apt at lying). At the same time Patsumi made sure that Mimiko felt comfortable and accepted - she introduced the other girl to her friends and made sure that no one would try to bully Mimiko or otherwise bother her because she was "an outsider". The two of them grew inseparable to the point when Mimiko, who was always more soft spoken and reasonable of the two, participated in Patsumi's pranks.

And Patsumi never knew when to stop when it came to picking up her "targets".

At least they learned a great deal about cooperation thanks to that.
And Mimiko lived a proper, carefree childhood.
