Oh, hi, Nishikata here again. Sorry if I seem preoccupied, but it’s the end of the year.

If I don’t come up with a foolproof showdown and claim at least one victory, it would mean my entire year has been a washout!

These days, even texting Takagi-san can be a minefield.

All I wanted was to tease her with some lame meme, but if I’m not careful with how I reply…

it suddenly sounds like I’m confessing a crush…?
