Numakoi News
Kirino reports on Numakoi News: "Next on the headlines. There is an unprecedented spike in popularity of Kametani-kun from Year 2, Class 2. Let's hear about it from everyone."
A-san from Year 2, Class 2: He helped me to move some heavy items. 😊 (Thought that he was an extremely scary person in the beginning, but of late, not as much...)
B-san and C-san from Year 2, Class 2: When I took a good look at him, I realized that he's actually super good-looking! I'm jealous of his girlfriend~
Kirino's Worries
At school, Kirino sits at her desk in class and has an internal meltdown. She thinks to herself, 'Oh no. Kametani's goodness has become known to everyone......!'
She spots Kametani in another corner of the classroom, standing near a girl who is trying to stick a piece of paper onto the wall, but the height is beyond her reach. Taking the paper from the girl, he goes, "Here. I'll help you."
Girl: T-thank you...
Other girls: Hey, did you see that? Kametani-kun is so kind! Kametani-kun is cool~
Hearing these comments, Kirino's face distorts into a weird expression as she thinks to herself, 'But I know that best?!?!'
However, she quickly covers her face and tells herself not to be like this. She thinks, 'This ugly side of me will be hated by Kametani-kun!'
End of School Day
The school bell rings, signaling that classes are over. Kirino blushes as she narrates: When the bell rings, Kametani-kun will always...
Kametani approaches Kirino with his schoolbag, going, "Kirino, let's go home."
Kirino's narration continues: Come to my seat straightaway. Lately, we've been going home together every day.
Couple Time
Holding hands, Kirino and Kametani enter a playground. They sit under a bridge structure and munch on some steamed buns.
Kirino: K-Kametani-kun, recently, you've become able to be near girls without blushing, right...?
Kametani: ? Now that you mention it, that's true.
Kirino (grimacing): It-it's great, huh!! You'd been saying that you wanted to cure it!!
Kametani: Yup. It was thanks to you. Thank you.
Kametani thanks Kirino with a sincere smile on his face. Kirino blushes when she looks at him, then turns away and munches on her bun, thinking, 'How sly...'
First Names
Young children playing at the playground shout, "Go--! Shoot!!" and Kametani flinches a little.
Kirino notices and thinks while giggling a little to herself, 'Did he think that someone called his name? Cute. Shoot and Shuuto...'
Blushing, Kametani turns to Kirino and says, "I want Kirino to call me Shuuto."
Kirino: Eh?!
Kametani: Come to think of it, we're dating, but we're still calling each other by our family names.
Kirino: That's true...
Kirino panics in her head, 'I haven't prepared my heart to suddenly call him by his name......!'
Kametani goes, "Mo...Momoka." He then suddenly stands up and points, "Do you wanna go and sit on the swings?"
Kametani is visibly being shy. Blushing and turning to Kirino again, he says, "Sorry. I got shy."
Kirino screams in her head, 'Wa- uwah---- Kametani-kun called me Momoka; Momoka...!!'
On the Swings
Kirino sits on a swing. Kametani stands behind her, ready to push.
Kametani: Let's go, Momoka!
Kirino: Y-yes!
Kametani pushes the swing.
Kirino: Kyaa-! That's too high, Kametani-kun!
Kametani: Say it too. I want you to call me by my name too.
Kirino blushes while looking at Kametani's blushing but serious expression.
Kirino: Uh-um...Shu-Shuu...
Kametani (hugging Kirino from behind): Shuu...?
Kirino (lifting her head to look up at Kametani): Shuuto-kun...
Kametani releases Kirino and blushes.
Kametani: ......
Kirino: Oh, huh? Shuu-Shuuto-kun...? Um... Shuuto-ku-n!
Kametani (still blushing furiously): Oh man, so this is the destructive power of first names.
Kirino thinks to herself, 'He's red... Surely, this expression is mine alone. I want to keep it all to myself, forever.'
Next Day
After school the next day, Kametani is again at Kirino's desk to invite her to go home together. He asks if they should check out the place he texted her about last night, and Kirino enthusiastically says yes.
However, their classmates go, "Hey, we're going for karaoke, would you guys like to join us?" "Kametani-kun, why don't you come along!"
Kirino and Kametani are about to decline, but Kirino suddenly thinks, 'Wait! This is an opportunity for Kametani-kun to interact with the rest of the class!'
She immediately answers, "Sure! We'll go!!" and their classmates go, "Really? Yay-"
Kametani remains silent.
Kirino narrates: Actually, I wanted it to be just the two of us, but... as a good girlfriend, it's certainly more important now for Kametani-kun to assimilate into the class more.
Karaoke Time
In the karaoke room, Kametani and the other boys are singing. The female classmates go, "Eh, isn't Kametani-kun's voice nice?" "It is!" "I want him to sing again!"
Meanwhile, Kirino grimaces, thinking to herself, 'Are you hearing this?!', then shaking her head and telling herself, 'No, I can't, I can't!'
Someone calls out to ask who's singing next. One of their classmates answer, but when they grab the microphone, their arm knocks over a glass of water.
There's a brief moment of panic around the room until someone suggests calling for the staff. After cleaning up the mess, the mood in the karaoke room seems to have been dampened.
Someone asks, "Uh, the next song..." "Isn't it Kametani's?"
Kametani answers, "Ah- yes." and Kirino thinks that Kametani seems awkward. She suddenly interjects and asks if she can add her song. She thinks, 'I can't let Kametani-kun mess up!'
The karaoke room is now playing Kirino's song. She stands back-facing the television, reciting the lyrics and singing from memory. She then dances to the song completely, impressing her classmates greatly.
After her song ends, they all cheer. "Awesome!!" "Kirino-chan, that was flawless!"
Kametani watches as their classmates fawn over Kirino, and he smiles to himself.
Couple Time (Again)
Later, Kirino is at the drinks station of the karaoke to refill her glass. She wonders to herself if she was able to fulfill her role.
Suddenly, Kametani appears behind her, putting his hand over hers as she presses a button for the drinks. "Momoka."
Kirino responds, "Shu-Shuuto-kun......". Kametani wraps his other arm around her waist. Then, he says, "Over here." and brings her to the karaoke building's stairwell.
Sitting on the ground, Kametani takes Kirino's hand and tells her, "I still haven't gotten used to it, so I took a break."
Kirino sits down with him. He then leans his head onto her shoulder and croons, "Momoka is amazing. Thank you for helping me earlier. I can't make everyone laugh like you did, so I really respect that."
Kirino blushes at Kametani's words. She thinks, 'I'm so happy that he noticed. I like him so much...'
Interrupted
The door to the stairwell suddenly opens. One of their female classmates call out, "Kirino-san, where are you--?"
Kirino is still sitting down and blocked by the door, so the classmate doesn't see her. Kametani stands up to respond to the classmate.
Kametani: What is it?
Classmate: Ah, Kametani-kun. Where is Kirino-san? There are songs that we'd like her to sing next-
Kirino thinks, 'I have to go back, though I wanted it to be just the two of us for a while more...'
She stands up and begins to go, "Ah... I'm here...", but Kametani covers her mouth.
She's Not Here
Kirino looks at Kametani questioningly.
Kametani tells the classmate, "Kirino isn't here." He then turns towards Kirino behind the door and leans into her, putting a finger to his lips as a gesture for her to remain silent.
Kirino blushes and complies.
Classmate: Maybe she's in the restroom--?
Kametani: ...Well, she'll probably return if you wait in the room.
Classmate: I'll do that~
The classmate leaves and the door shuts behind her.
Alone again, Kirino asks Kametani, "Wh-why did you hide me..."
Kametani answers while blushing, "Sorry. I want to have you to myself a little more." Kirino blushes again in response to his words.
Kirino happily narrates: In an instant, everything is filled up. Kametani-kun is such a good boyfriend. I'm no match for him at all. I have to become the greatest girlfriend too!!
Onii-san
On another day, Kirino is at her part-time job at a cafe. She goes, "Thank you for your hard work! My name is Kirino, I will be in your care from today!"
She narrates: It's going to be Kametani-kun's birthday soon (7 December). In order to become the greatest girlfriend, I'll celebrate Kametani-kun's birthday with all my might!! And to do that, first of all, I need money-
The manager briefs Kirino, "The staff in charge of guiding new staff should be arriving soon, so you can ask them for the details... Oh, they're here."
Someone arrives. It's Kametani's older brother. He greets, "'Sup-", then "Oh, you..." when he sees Kirino.
Manager: Kametani-kun, she will be doing part-time from today. Guide her well, will ya-
Kametani's older brother (towards Kirino): Got a minute?
Kirino: Y-yes!!
Kirino is screaming in her mind, 'O-older brother...?! He works here...?!'
Kametani's older brother brings them into the locker room. There, he pins her against the lockers threateningly, and asks, "Can you go back home?"
Kirino narrates: ...Eh?
