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

What's wrong?

Can't sleep?

You get lonely because you're cold.

Wakana, you're sleeping sideways again.

EPISODE 6 MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND WANTS TO SLEEP OVER

Nice shot!

Good try!

So hot...

PE class with the outgoing kids is a pain.

Look at you, freaking out.

It's hot today, huh?

Here you go.

Did I give off manager vibes? Get your heart racing?

Managers do more than just hand over drinks.

The gym was so hot.

It's about time we get AC, huh?

No kidding.

You're drenched in sweat.

You're going to catch a cold.

I'll wipe...

Wipe yourself down.

You smell like sweat.

I won't do anything that you'd hate.

Maybe it's just me, but he hasn't been as aggressive ever since that day.

GIRLS' CHANGING ROOM

What does he think he's doing?

Does he think he needs to go easy on me?

Yukiya doesn't deserve to look down on me like that.

COOLING WIPES

He doesn't need to be careful.

He could just come at me.

You smell like sweat.

Wait, hang on...

Is that it?

Is that really it?

Is it not that he's being careful or courteous or anything...

Is it because I'm still not enough of a girl for him?

Huh? I think you're really cute, though.

Onii probably is interested in you, I think...

H-He is, right?

Do you think so?

He'll never admit it, though.

This sucks.

This is just a hunch, but...

Onii was looking at this scene in a game the other day...

I'll put you in full bloom!

COSMO CONNECT SPECIAL MOVES COMPILATION

He was like...

These are huge.

...as he was watching.

Princess Floral!

I-Is that why?

Is it because I'm flat?

He said something about her having crazy high DPS.

HIGH DAMAGE OUTPUT

What's DPS?

Is it because I don't pack any hopes or dreams?

Are you serious?!

I can't stand guys!

Maybe now's the time to see what advice shoujo manga can offer.

Huh? But manga isn't reality.

You don't get it, Miku-chan.

BLAH BLAH BLAH

You see, shoujo manga has a 50-year history,

a lot of it focused on love.

It depicts countless romantic situations,

so there's no way none of them apply to you.

BLAH BLAH BLAH

THERE'S A SMALL YUKIYA HERE!

So Yukiya was using shoujo manga as a reference

Surely there's something you can learn from it.

because of Wakana-chan's influence.

And based on my research,

97% of shoujo manga protagonists end up getting together.

O-Okay.

TRUE, MOST STORIES END THAT WAY...

Point is, you can be successful if you follow shoujo manga, too.

Well, hm...

I guess.

You may have a point.

Yup, yup.

BE MINE.

HUH...

YOUR TIE'S CROOKED.

Huh?

I MADE YOU LUNCH!

Hang on...

We're right out of a shoujo manga, no?

Why? Why?

Why isn't it working out?

Okay.

I need to be more assertive.

Maybe there's something in here.

Something more...

That's it!

I haven't done this one yet!

MY PARENTS AREN'T HOME TODAY.

WANNA STAY OVER?

This is it!

I guess this is our first night alone together.

Yeah.

Your blanket has your scent. It's so relaxing.

Oh, but you're going to catch a cold.

I'll wrap you up.

Miku...

You win.

I've been stubborn this whole time, but...

What if...

What if...

But how?

Do I have to ask him to let me stay over?

Stay over?

At my place?

You sure you aren't just using gaming as an excuse

to do that kind of stuff with me?

What a tramp.

No!

No, no, no!

I'm putting my body on the line because you won't get turned on by me!

I'm not hoping for that kind of thing to begin with!

But if we could...

If we could just hang out normally, that'd be nice.

Like we used to.

How long has it been since I've been over?

Thanks for being her friend going forward, Yukiya-kun.

Oh, Miku-chan. Morning.

Come in.

Let's play video games together.

Miku-chan, do you want seconds?

Um...

I'm okay.

Yeah?

You don't need to hold back, okay?

Mom, more.

And some furikake.

You need to start getting some for yourself.

Onii, the soy sauce!

I forgot to ask if I can use the hair dryer.

Oh hey, Sakura!

Here.

I've been making some while Mom's not watching.

COCOA

Hurry up. Before she catches us.

Thanks.

It's sweet.

And crunchy.

I added extra powder for you.

Don't worry about it.

Just this once, since you seemed down, Sakura.

Hey...

Can I borrow the hair dryer?

Yay! I won!

Once more, Miku!

I'm going to play for real this time.

Sure.

One more time.

Thank you so much.

Miku, I can stay home all the time starting tomorrow.

Really?!

Do you want to keep playing our game tomorrow?

I wanna play!

Mom, can I?
