78.105.205.175: Use Of Onee-sama

In the world of the Lillian Academy, Onee-sama has a specific usage.

Unlike normal schools, where you would refer to older girls you know as Onee-sama and use ''name''-sama for closer acquaintances; within Lillian, the opposite is true.

For distant acquaintances, you use "name"-sama (or San as necessary)in normal use and "title"-sama when speaking to the Roses and their bouton. Only petite-soeur use Onee-sama (think of it as a title) and then only with their grand-soeur.

This is why Yumi always refers to Sachiko as Onee-sama, while everyone else in her year call her Sachiko-sama or Rosa-chinensis (en bouton). Early on in their soeur relationship, Yumi uses Sachiko-sama, and is told 'I won't respond if you don't call Me Onee-sama!'

Hope that clears up any misunderstanding.

78.105.205.175: Very heavy parrot

When a speaker talks for more than one paragraph, then it's customary to omit the end quotation marks (") in all of the paragraphs except for the last paragraph.

If you are speaking of the ''Then Then'', it's not between quotation marks but in italics.

== Very heavy parrot ==

"Argh... Why are birds so dumb? As expected when you have a brain that weighs only 1kg, Ryuuji sighed, wrapping up the soiled newspaper."

Given that parrots rarely weigh more than a kilogram total, this must be the heaviest parrot in the world (200kg+!)

I think you must of meant 1g, not 1kg (0.035oz vs 2.2lb).
