Haha, I think I've personally done it both ways on different pages, and I haven't even translated most of the comic.
Well, I suppose whoever has the perseverance to go through the whole comic can decide what we do. I generally prefer English ("Lady Satori" is much better than "Satori-sama" for reasons I've beat to death elsewhere, and "Orin-san" in the final panel here risks being overlooked compared to "Miss Orin"), but "onee-chan" is the sticking point ("sis" is too informal, "sister" is too formal, and alternatives like replacing it with "Satori" are right out). It's not like either option is going to destroy the impact of the comic, so whatever works is good.

Gotta go with the latter. Imagine Orin's thought bouncing off of Satori's head with a little "doonk" noise; I know I am.
Seems like the story is heading slowly towards the conclusion. This should be interesting. But why are there trees underground? It is underground, is it?

To karaagetarou the underground is the same as the surface with the only difference being that the sky is a lot greyer.
and a lot harder.
