CH 12.5

page 06

The usual 765 Pro, except...

Hmm...

Everyone looks deep in thought. I wonder what they're talking about?
Homework?

So, to Miki-Miki
Nii-chan is just a plaything!?
Bfft...!


Page 07


I wouldn't say that...  She's always saying, "Makoto, Makoto."
Yesterday she said, "Makoto, I love you" too.

When it comes to Makoto
it's like she's a playful cat sticking to her

Yeah, when Nekokichi wants attention she's like that

So, in your opinion, Miki-Miki's real love is Nii-chan?
Wha- T-There's no way I'd know that...


Page 08


But
"Honey" does have that meaning, right?

It's sweet too, right?
Y-Yeah...

Knowing Miki, she probably likes them both.
In other words...
The conventional term would be...

Two-timing!
Two-timing?


Page 09


I-Is this...
something I should be overhearing...?

For starters, she's serious about Nii-chan.
On the other side, Mako-chin.

But Mako-chin has Yukipyon, right?
Huh?
Yukiho...san?

C'mon, Mako-chin and Yukipyon have looked good together for a long time.


Page 10


Yeah, yeah. It feels like Miki-Miki's jammed her way in there.
You think so?

Makoto and Yukiho match because each has something the other lacks.

Speaking of Yukipyon
Lately, she's been taking notice of Ohime-chin.
What? Takane?

That's not a gaze of respect...
but a forbidden one...


Page 11


I never noticed it.
Since when...

Takane-san is cool after all!
Really?

Okay, hold on a sec
Like this then?

ミキミキ
Miki-miki
にいちゃん
Nii-chan
まこちん
Mako-chin
（おにあい）
(Good together)
ゆきぴょん
Yukipyon
（あこがれ）
(admires)
お姫ちん
Ohime-chin

Hey!
You're all too young for this kind of talk!


Page 12


Should I give them a warning like that?
I'm interested in what they're saying too...

By the way, who does Nii-chan like?

Nfufu~ What if it was unexpectedly Mami.
If that's the case, then it might be Ami too
M-Me too
Me also

ハァー　ヤレヤレ
Haah... Goodness

Hey

Aren't we "Forbidden from love" anyway?


Page 13


We don't have...
that rule, right?

I never thought about it.

Even if we don't, it should be plain as day.

Listen, we're idols.
We need to think about the fans who cheer us on first and foremost.

But what about Miki-san...?


Page 14


It's not good, obviously.
I don't know how serious she is though.

A "fruitless love..."
No way... Now I feel bad for Miki-san~
うぅ...
Uu...
This is all because the way Nii-chan acts isn't clear.

Ami's got it!


Page 15


Piyo-chan and Nii-chan should just get married already.
Eh!?
Whaaaaaat!?


Page 16


That way everything would be okay.

Haa... you know.
You're right.

Hey, Yayoi...
Huh?
I-I'm...
with P-P-Producer-san...

Tsk~ Ami thought it was a good idea.
Jeez~ Piyo-chan is still dumbstruck.


Page 17


I'm back.
Ah

Hm?

What's the matter?
N-Nothing...

Wait, Otonashi-san?
Your face is a little red...
W-What are you talking about?

Do you have a fever...
Wha-...


Page 18


It's nothiiiiiing!
Otonashi-san!?

Nii-chan
You're such a blockhead when it comes to these things~
You just don't understand a maiden's heart.
What're you talking about?

Ah, Kotori, morning-nano☆
Good morning.


Page 19


Don't... You mustn't, Kotoriiiiii~!

What's going on?
No idea...?
