“Really like you, really want to hug you tightly!” Narration: “Kira-kun
*Kira held Nino’s hand and said, ‘The meaning of my existence is you,
Nino’* had thrown my own words back to me.” Covered with a blanket, Nino
sits on her bed with a blank look. Sensei perches on her bed post and
quietly sweatdrops. He flies to Nino’s bed and asks if she couldn’t
sleep. Nino says, yes. She blushes and lies back on her bed. She tells
him that just thinking of what happened yesterday made her somewhat
excited. With a teasing look, Sensei says that is right, after all, she
got promoted to ‘girlfriend’. This made Nino blush even more. Nino
wonders out loud over what kind of progress will happen between them in
the future. “Just thinking of this since the start, I couldn’t stop
imagining it.” With folded arms, Sensei says that Kira is a pretty boy
so he ought to quickly make a move on her. He tells her not to say other
things for won’t he directly kiss her and if he does any strange thing
to her, *gesturing a punch* she should definitely hit him. Getting out
of the blanket, Nino says that she thinks that ought to be not quite
possible and she had also thought about that. Narration: “Today is the
first day of starting going steady.” Kira is waiting at the gate. Nino
comes out and nervously greets him. Kira just says, morning with a blank
look. Surprised Nino exclaims what’s up with him. Kira says that it is
nothing and everything is normal with him. “Come, let’s go.” Nino
notices that Kira has his hand[/s] is in his pocket. While walking, Kira
is telling her about watching a television show that he didn’t notice
that it is already the middle of the night, and it is a movie about
zombies. It is by seriously watching the deeper contents of the movie
that he finds it very interesting. It is quite philosophical that he
starts to like zombies. Nino keeps looking at his hand on his pocket
then, she looks at her hand. She agrees about what Kira is saying.
Sensei seems puzzled. Narration: “Ah- about that, how should I say it.
It is a start which is, just like before, with no change.” In the
classroom, everyone looks at the door when Kira and Nino come in. A
student says that they’ve arrived so who is going to ask. Another
student says that after all, they hugged in the classroom. This made
Nino blush as she remembers that when they returned yesterday, everyone
is already gone. A guy holds Nino’s hand and exclaims, “Hey, Bird Girl,
are the two of you going steady!?” Kira chops their hands to separate
them. Kira pulls Nino to him and says, “Right now, she is my girlfriend.
No one is allowed to touch her.” Everyone blushes and exclaims if this
is for real. Nino is surprised by Kira’s declaration. Yabe looks glum
while lying his head on the table.
During PE class, Hyakuta says that she is really curious about it
that she can’t help but straightforwardly ask her. Ikigoma asks up to
what progress they have gone to. Nino looks at them with big eyes.
Blushing, she tells them that nothing has happened. She wonders if this
is the so-called girl’s talk. To Nino’s surprise, they tell her that she
definitely wants to have deeper affection early on and it isn’t bad for
her to take the initiative and attack. Ikigoma says that every time her
boyfriend kisses her, she always feels like floating. Hyakuta says that
she understands, for there are times when she has the urge to bite him
[/her boyfriend?]. Nino is quite surprised about this ‘urge’. While the
girls are changing their clothes and talking about cosmetics, Nino
thinks that she doesn’t quite understand what they’ve told her. Nino
goes out of the room and thinks that in the end, everyone is girls and
she’ll ask her mommy to teach her to put make-up. She is the first one
to go out of the dressing room. She notices a couple of girls with Kira.
Kira apologizes and tells the girl that he can’t go steady with her.
The girl’s friend says that even if she doesn’t want to say bad things
about Nino, but this girl is not only cuter but her character is not
bad. “It is also okay for you to try out and date with her, how about
it..?” Nino freaks out for Kira is being confessed to and that girl is
even saying that she has no charm at all. Kira says, “I’m sorry, all of
my time belongs to Nino.” Nino blushes over that. The girl’s friend
leads the dejected girl away and says that since he said that, then
forget it. Kira scratches his head then notices Nino peeking from the
corner. Kira asks her what interest is that, for her to secretly watch
from here. Nino exclaims that it is a coincidence. Kira leans toward her
and rests his head on her shoulder. Kira tells her that he refused
[that girl] so give him a reward. This made Nino blush redder. She
starts to stroke his hair and says, “O—okay.
Nice guy!!” Kira
asks if she is foreigner. Blushing Nino wonders what to do for she is
starting to understand what Ikigoma and others are saying. Kira suddenly
stands up and says, let’s go. To his surprise, Nino suddenly clings on
to him. She says, “I still want to be with you for a while.” Kira looks
at blushing Nino. To her surprise, Kira pulls her away from him. He
apologizes and says that he suddenly remembered that the old timer
[teacher] told him to see him. While walking downstairs, Kira tells
stunned Nino that it is about being lectured about what happened
yesterday so she can go ahead.
While walking the hallway, she wonders if she can understand that
literally or was it deliberate that he pulled her away from him. Then,
he notices that Yabe is walking beside her. Yabe says that they’ve
already thought properly over what the cat’s name will be so he thought
of telling her. Nino says is that so, so what the name is. Yabe says
that it is Arashi because his older sister likes that idol group. Nino
says that’s cool..then she thinks that wasn’t that cat female. Then,
Yabe asks if she is really going steady with Kira. This made Nino blush
that she is lost for words but managed to say pretty much. Putting his
hand on the wall to block her way, Yabe says she should break up with
Kira. This surprises Nino. He walks away and mutters that it infuriates
him that she was snatched away. Nino nervously wonders what was that and
that startled her. At the staircase inside the building, during lunch
break, Kira comments that Sensei seems to be asleep. Nino says that
Sensei explore around the school during PE class so he is a bit tired. A
note says that they are eating inside because it is cold outside. Kira
is puzzled for how come he is exploring when he usually just stays in
the classroom. Nino says that it seems that Sensei wants to exercise
lately. Kira mutters over assuming before, that Sensei would be his
first love rival. Looking somewhat serious, Kira says that he always
feels that he only have to do some ordinary sports and it will be
strenuous[/tiring]. This surprises Nino. Kira says that it is nothing
and possibly, it isn’t that serious yet. If excessively no sports, one
won’t be stuck with a name[/logo] of being a sports idiot, right? Nino
starts looking worried that Kira notices this. He pinches her face and
says that at this point, give him a smile. Deciding to change the mood,
Kira says that compared to that, he has something to give to her.
Holding a small box, he tells her that it is her birthday gift and sorry
if it is late. Surprised Nino exclaims that she forgot. “Thank you. Can
I open it?” Kira says yes. She opens the box and it is a beautiful
small bottle. Nino exclaims that it is a perfume and there are even some
bird wings on it. Kira tells her to try it out. Nino is sparkling. She
takes the tip of the bottle with a dropper and puts some of the perfume
on her wrist. Nino says that it is a fragrance like the smell of a
mature woman with rose as part of the ingredient. “With this, I also can
be a girl who can properly interact with guys.” Kira looks surprised.
Realizing what she said, Nino quickly tells him that it is nothing, she
is just talking to herself. Kira holds her perfumed hand and says, “Ya,
it’s very fragrant.” Nino blushes. Kira leans to her. Anticipating a
kiss, Nino closes her eyes. She waited and nothing. She opens her eyes
to see Kira covering his mouth and looking away. To her surprise, he
says that it is almost time to go back to the classroom. While Kira
wakes up Sensei, Nino is downcast over it.
While walking downstairs, Nino wonders if it is just her
misconception that maybe the cause is due to her excitement but then,
when she just hugged him a while ago, Kira had particularly pulled her
away. Kira turns around and says that about a while ago.. To his
surprise, Nino is no longer behind him. In the classroom, Kira nervously
looks at Nino’s empty seat. He thinks that it is bad for she
unexpectedly ditched class. He also thinks that she had totally
misunderstood and she also won’t answer the texts he sent her so he
should have looked for her earlier on. At the roof, Sensei looks at
downcast Nino sitting at the floor. Nino had told Sensei that she wanted
to be alone for a while. Sensei thinks that even if he doesn’t know
what happened between the two but with that dismayed look, most likely,
it has something to do with Natural Perm’s attitude. Then, he notices
someone arriving. Kira says that he has found her. He asks Nino what she
is doing, she’ll catch a cold. She looks flustered. She gloomily says
that it is because she is ashamed for she’s the only one who is quite
excited over this. Surprised Kira exclaims that it turns out that she
has that kind of misunderstanding. Nino continues to say that it is okay
and she’ll pay attention to it from today on. Kira shouts, “It isn’t
so- *covers blushing face* I only feel that I only have to make a move
and I have this feeling that I won’t be able to stop. I’m actually
enduring, idiot!! *Nino looks at him in surprise* ..this morning, I’m
already giving it my all for me not to be excited. If possible, I really
want to make you always stroke my hair every single day. I’ve become
strange. I like you too much, up to the extent that I don’t know what to
do.” This made Nino blush and wonders if that’s true. Still covering
his face, Kira lies down on the ground and says, “Ah, geez.. I
originally do not want to say those words.” To Kira’s surprise, Nino
clings on his shoulder. He turns to the side and tells her not to come
near. Nino lies down on the ground beside him. He rolls sideways from
her and she follow him by also rolloing towards him. Kira somewhat sits
up and wonders what she is doing. He exclaims that he said, not to come
close to him. Clinging on to him, Nino giggles and says, “Kira-kun,
you’re so cute.” This made Kira blush. He says that he doesn’t care
anymore. He holds her wrists and they are about to kiss. They were
interrupted by Sensei shouting for them to stop, that’s enough.
Embarrassed Kira shouts that he is unexpectedly peeking. Sensei shouts
back that he is always there. “Don’t complain in front of me, you
perverted kappa!!” Kira covers his face and says that it is no good,
this is also too embarrassing. Sensei shouts that serves him right. Nino
smiles and says that he’s cool. Narration: “November 29th – Starting
today, I have officially become Kira-kun’s ‘girlfriend’.”
