Hey, it’s Nishikata, and I’m on a roll! I’ve been pulling off so many ties instead of losses lately, that’s progress, right?!

Takagi-san’s punishments have been getting tougher, though. Like, um... h-holding her hand, or calling her first name... but she did put that one on hold—I can call her name anytime in future, only when want to.

I don’t know if that day will ever come, but somehow, it feels like she can already see me doing it...?!
