I Want to End This Love Game (愛してるゲームを終わらせたい)

Morning.

Miku's back!

Hey.

Hey, how'd it go?

Huh?

It was just a fever. I'm fine.

Not that.

I mean with Asagi-kun.

I bet you couldn't keep it in your pants.

Tell us everything you can.

Wh-Why would we do anything?!

I had a fever, remember?!

Asagi-kun, Miku's safe.

Asagi-kun?!

He ran off crazy fast.

I never knew Asagi-kun could run like that.

Right?

I know, right?

How is he so fast?

Well, Miku?

Don't ask me!

NOT ACTUALLY ASLEEP

Too much attention!

I regret everything.

Do you think those two are going out?

Nah, I doubt that.

They've known each other since they were kids, though.

Sakura-san's talking to Asagi-kun all the time, too.

That isn't saying much. Sakura-san talks to everyone.

Actually, I think Sakura-san's got a thing for me lately!

I was talking to her about the other day, and she burst out laughing.

Sakura-san's so nice. Wow. Giving you any attention at all...

What's that supposed to mean?!

I mean, Negicchi's decent-looking,

but he's way too much of a loner to be Sakura-san's boyfriend, no?

Right?

All these popular guys, turning everything into a pecking order thing...

Nah, there's no way nothing happened.

Like hugging, kissing...

W-We didn't.

Shouldn't you, though?

Someone might take him.

For example, I might.

You gotta open up more.

I've been trying not to think about him.

Everyone talking about Yukiya is reminding me.

I can't!

I need more Yukiya!

Weird...

EPISODE 12 MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND IS GIRLY

We've always had some space between us in class,

but now these moments feel really lonely.

I can't wait to be next to him.

What would he say if I said we should hang out again after school?

Would it seem too desperate if I kept going?

I want to glom onto Yukiya!

So I thought I might make him some cake or something to thank him for visiting.

Cake?!

That's pretty western.

Western?

You sound like Yukiya when he sees the popular kids.

FAMILY RUNS A JAPANESE SNACK SHOP

Japanese snacks are nice.

They're hand-sized because they're each made carefully by hand.

The gentle, relaxing sweetness spreads through your mouth.

They're the very embodiment of love, don't you think?

Are you serious?

High school girls making Japanese snacks as a gift?

Actually, I used to make ohagi with my grandma every year.

It was fun rolling them up and wrapping them and stuff together.

Right?

And can you do that with western snacks?

Knead, knead...

KNEAD, KNEAD

Yeah, yeah!

I like that!

Also...

Wakana always steals one whenever I buy mochi ice cream.

My dream is to eat two someday.

Nacchan, do you know how to make daifuku mochi?

Of course! I'm a big girl!

MOCHI FLOUR

Ta-da!

What's all this?

Stuff for making Japanese snacks.

I wanted to thank you for taking care of me the other day.

Mochi tastes better fresh, you know?

So I figured maybe I'd make it at your place.

You don't need to thank me.

I guess I'll have it if you insist on making me some.

Is she telling me to make some with her?

HEH HEH

Look, ice cream!

We're making red bean paste and ice cream together!

This is gonna be fun.

Look at her, blabbing away so happily.

So, this is the recipe video Nacchan recommended.

Hey.

Hey.

Yo, Miku.

I told you to pause there for a second.

Why're you so spaced out?

That startled me.

There are pink ones and light green ones.

Pretty.

TINY

Yours looks shiratama-sized.

Wha? Yours is just too huge.

How are you going to eat that?

It's not that bad.

Here.

I-It's too huge!

Even with my mouth, it'll take three bites!

Yeah?

I guess it's a bit big.

Wait, I can't.

I've touched his hand and gotten close to him and stuff before.

There really is something wrong with me.

S-Stay calm. Stay calm.

Yukiya, Yukiya.

Does this make you think of anything?

Huh?

Hold on...

Cherry blossom color and green onion color!

It's like we're clinging to each other.

Isn't that titillating?

Did you put them together on purpose?

Isn't that titillating?!

Doubling down, huh?

So the pink one is you, then.

I wonder how this Miku tastes.

What's wrong?

Is it like I just ate you?

Does that turn you on?

Man, that's good.

Of course it is!

I'm going to go wash my hands!

I can almost feel Miku's warmth on it still.

Miku's lips were about as soft.

Was Yukiya always like this?

His voice, his hands, his figure... Everything makes my heart race.

Maybe I'm so in love with Yukiya that my senses are glitching out.

Nom, nom, nom, nom...

NOM, NOM, NOM, NOM,

Nom, nom, nom, nom...

NOM, NOM, NOM, MIKU

Miku...

Ew!

FLINCH

I'm home.

What?! How?!

I was just eating the mochi!

That's the creepiest possible way to eat it!

Those two are flirting again.

I'm going to get heartburn again.

I should have salted kombu for my afternoon snack.

Lewd!

S-Senpai, keep your voice down!

B-But...

How could the Pokitto Game end up developing into that?!

Tell me more.

What more am I supposed to say?

How many times did you do it?

I don't remember.

You did so much that you don't even remember?!

That's too obscene!

Tell me in detail how you did it.

I-I think, in the beginning, we were both really cautious.

Kinda like that.

Yukiya's hand slowly came toward my shoulder,
