Heya, it’s Nishikata again. You know, I’m beginning to think the reason I can never defeat Takagi-san is because of how we met on the very first day of middle school!

From then on, it’s been one fiasco after another; like, I couldn’t even trick her with the souvenir snack I bought her on my family trip!

I’ve been led around by the nose so much… so why am I now risking my pride to ask her out to the summer festival…?!
