p3
>You want to give
>Nicocchi a present?
>>Homunculuses are...

>Yes.

p4
>Why'd you get red all of a sudden?
>Geez, don't make fun of me.
>With that happy look on your face...

>It's just that I feel such a distance between me and that girl.
>Like there's a wall between us...

>We're going to be on the same team from now on,
>so I figured I needed to be more open with her...

>I see.
>Thus the present strategy.
>How cute~

p5
>In short,
>you want to get closer with Nicocchi!
>W-Well... If you were to put it loosely...

>But I don't know what her hobbies are
>so I wanted to ask your help, Nozomi.

>Hmm, let's see.
>Stuff Nicocchi likes...

p6
>I guess it's gotta be cute stuff or stuff relating to idols...
>Also, she's surprisingly the familial type, so some convenient goods might work too.
>Thanks. That's really helpful.

>But...

>She might get bewildered if you get her a present out of the blue...
>Maybe you should talk to her for a little bit first?

p7
>Talk to her, huh?
>Even if you tell me that....

>I have no idea what to talk about.
>There she is... She's so easy to read...

>Ah...
>Huh?
>For starters...
>What should I even call her?

p8
>Yazawa-san...?
>It's safe, but a bit stilted...
>She'll get upset if I suddenly drop the honorifics...
>Hmm, this is hard...

>Hey.
>You've been like that for a while.
>What gives?
>Eh?

p9
>Ah.
>I-
>I'm sorry!
>What business do you have with Nico-Ni?

>Or rather....

>I'm
>not really
>good with you~

p10
>She said too much so bluntly~!!
>Wha...
>Wha...
> Imean...
>You're tall.
>You probably had a good upbringing.

>Your face is
>in excessively good order...

>!?
>Sh-She's complimenting me!?
>What is it?

p11
>So what is it anyway!?
>If you don't have any business, leave me alone!
>I'm sorry.

>Erm...

>Thank you!

>Huh!?
>What are you thanking me for?
>For some reason, she might be...

p12
>easier to talk to than I thought...

>The next day.

>What's up, Nicocchi?
>You seem to be having fun.
>What part of this looks fun to you!?

>Could you
>do something about that!?
>That?

p13
>Nico!
>How was the lesson just now?
>If there's anything you don't understand, give me a shout, okay?
>>Maths

>This.
>>This
>This!?
>Ah~

>How'd she get like this in just a day?
>Isn't her way of shortening the distance weird!?

>I'm sorry.
>I don't exactly have a good social disposition.
>Hah...
>Well, I don't mind, but...
>Just when did you drop the formalities?

p14
>Well, the lesson wasn't that difficult.
>Eli.
>!?

>Nico~
>You just called me Eli...
>Ah, geez~

>But your pop quiz sheet was almost blank, Nicocchi.
>Hey! That was a secret!
>Eeh!? Nico! That's no good!
>Aaaah

p15
>Okay.
>This is where I get off!
>See you tomorrow~
>Eh, wait!
>Nozomi~

>She left...

>It feels a little awkward going home together with just the two of us...
>I need something to talk about...
>Oh yeah!!

>Hey.
>!!

p16
>You go first, Nico...
>No, you go...

>Wait, why do I have to do this back and forth with you!?

>Hey, you... Eli...
>Why did you join u's?

>Eh...?

>Well, I just thought I'd reconfirm things.
>You were so stubborn about it.

p17
>...

>Let's see.
>It's probably... because you stretch your hand out to me.

>...
>Eh...?

p18
>That's it!?
>Th-That's it. What about it~?
>I thought really hard about that answer!
>Hah.

>Geez.

>Where did the cool and diligent student council president disappear to?
>Wha-

>The people around me just build up that image of me on their own!
>You're so defiant...

p19
>So, what did you want to talk about?
>Ah, erm...

>Rabbits
>or cats...
>Which do you like more?
>Huh!?

>You interrupted what I was talking about for that!?
>What kind of topic is that!?
>That's why I told you to go first!!

p20
>~Geez~
>You're throwing me off tune.

>Rabbit.
>So you know.

>Really!? Thank goodness!
>What gives?

>I thought you'd say that so...

>Here!
>A present!
>Eh?

p21
>A present... Why...?
>Erm...
>I wanted to be more open with you so I prepared this.

>You're amusing to the very end...
>Eh!?
>A-
>Amusing...?

>Fufu
>You're hopeless, so I'll take this off your hands!
>This is pretty cute.

p22
>Here.
>!

>You want
>to be closer with me, right?
>You're so hopeless.

>Yes!

p23
>Fufu
>What's so funny~?
>I'm sorry.
>I was just kinda relieved.

>I didn't think you would
>open your heart to me so quickly.

>Geez
>It's because you're so clingy.
>Eli.

p24
>If we're gonna get along from now on
>I can't stay reserved like I used to.
>I want to talk with everyone properly so we can become one as a team.

>In order to make up for all the trouble I've caused up until now,
>I need to make sure to lead the team properly.

>Eli.

>Hmph.
>What are you saying?

p25
>You just need to leave it to Nico Ni!
>If you want to become the greatest school idols,
>just follow me lead!

>Nico.

>But I'm better at dancing than you.
>Now you say that!?

>The end

p27
>Omake Manga
>Nozomi, are you jealous that Eli's clinging onto me now?
>I love Nozomi too.
>Eh~?

>But I love the both of you, so I'm really happy you two are getting along so well!

>But now that you mention it, I am a little bit jealous!
>Double Washi-washi~
>Gyaaaaah
>Nozomiii~
>Let's all get along
