p1
>You seem bored, Kuro.
>Let's play a game.

>...
>Nah, don't wanna...

>Besides, we're not really bored. We're just waiting for Tanaka-san...
>Yeah, yeah. Which means you're free.
>You sit over there, Tamura-san.

>...Well, whatever.
>What game are we playing?
>I've only got smartphone games on me today?
>Ah, don't worry.

>Here.
>We're playing this.

>...What are those? Cards?
>Home-made?
>That's right. Cards.
>This game has you turn over cards in order of the number printed on them, which each have stuff written down
>and you basically whatever combination you get.
>The 1 cards are "who does it", the 2 cards are "who is it done to", and the 3 cards are "what to do". Got it?
>I made them at home.
>I guess so...

p2
>But is this... supposed to be fun?
>Were you bored, Miss Exam-taker?
>Hah~ There it is, right on time.
>You're always complaining, Kuro~
>I was taking a break!

>I mean, you're not telling us the entire truth with that explanation, are you...?
>Always complaining and never doing anything, Kuro. You're always like that~
>What does that mean...?

>Well, it can't be helped, since you were such a loner this entire time, Kuro.
>You've never played the games you can only play with other people, have you?

>Huh!?

>Well, whatever. You'll see how fun it is once you try it.
>You sure about that...?

>Well... She's right that I've no experience with the normie kinds of play...
>I've done karaoke... I suppose?

>I remember back in the old days, I'd see those guys hanging out after school
>and wondering what's so fun about it...

>I'm sure they would've played games like this too...
>Alright, I'll start off.
>Then it'll be Tamura-san, followed by Kuro.

p3
>Hmm~~~
>What shall I pick~?

>Okay!
>I'll go with this one first.

>Ah.

>>Kuroki-san

>Me right off the bat...?
>And number two will be this, and number three will be this.

p4
>So there you have it. What're you waiting for, Kuro? C'mon!
>You're... such a moron!
>You're the one who...

>Hey, what's wrong, Kuro? Friends say this to each other all the time~
>"I love you" and stuff
>R-Really...?

>Or could it be that this kinda thing
>is too soon for you, Kuro~?
>...Grr!

>...This bitch! She really is a lewd pink from the bottom up!
>What was that, bitch...?
>Fine, I'll do it! I'll show you the techniques(?) I learned from playing dating sims!

>A-Alright...
>Ah

>You almost had me there!
>Nice one, Kuro!
>You might have a talent for this, huh!?
>The heck...

p6

>It's your turn, Tamura-san.

>Kay.
>I've already drawn them.
>Eh?

>Kuroki Tomoko
>to whoever drew this card
>pat head

>There you have it.
>Whaddaya mean, there you have it!?
>Pat head!?

>Don't you think this is strange...
>Or rather, when did you draw those? You definitely peeked, didn't you!
>I did not.
>I drew them properly.
>No, look in my eyes when you say that! Hey, Yuri, come on!
>I did.
>Just now.

>Head pat, huh...
>How do you want to be patted, Tamura-san?
>Hey, wait!
>Eh? What? Does my opinion not matter?
>Is this some kind of bullying...?
>...

p7
>I just gotta stroke it, right?

>...
>Erm...

>L-...
>Like this...?

p8
>That'll do. Thank you.
>Looks like you did good, Kuro.
>You too, Tamura-san.

>The heck is this!?

>...Wait, isn't it odd?
>I've been showing up for the first card a lot...
>Eh~? That's not true~

>Look!
>>Kuroki-san
>>Nemoto-san
>>Tamura-san
>>Kuroki Tomoko
>>Kuro
>>The person who drew this card
>Tomoko
>There's a whole lot of me!!!

>No no no, why am I facing the five punishments...
>Eh~? It's normal, right?
>It's not normal! For starters, isn't it strange that it's just our three names lumped together...?
>Five punishments!? Who!? ...Oh, it's just her...
>Koto~ We're going home~
>>On break from club activities

>It's not strange at all. The two of us made them together, after all.
>Since we're neighbors.
>Yup.
>Take your lessons seriously, exam-takers!!!

p9
>Wait, when did you two get so close...?
>Hehe~

>Well y'know, a lot happened and we ended up joining forces for the sake of obtaining our mutual goal!
>I don't think that's what happened.
>Of course!! I knew that!!
>What's with these two?
>They a comedy duo or something?

>Wait, hold on.

>That means you two knew which cards were which...
>Okay, it's Kuro's turn next!
>Shuffle the cards, Tamura-san!
>Aaaaaaah...

>Erm...
>What happened...?
>Thank goodness you're here, Tanaka-san...
>Now I can finally go home...
