Been reading a manga where a tsundere character says this line:
何ですか？事あるごとに私のことを『可愛い』だとか！ 『お姉さんになって』『綺麗だ』『甘えたい』とか！ 『特攻がわかりにくい』とか！
The 2nd line here is a problem for me. Am I right to say the 綺麗 here doesn't act as the adjective to 姉さん? Does it mean "completely, entirely" in this case?
I'd read it as...
何ですか？事あるごとに私のことを『可愛い』だとか！
『お姉さんになって』『綺麗だ』『甘えたい』とか！
『特攻がわかりにくい』とか！
I think the character is saying "What do you mean by telling [these phrases in brackets: 'Please be my big sister' 'You're gorgeous' etc.] to me at every opportunity / on every occasion?"
