Hey, its Nishikata, and Im on a roll! Ive been pullingoff so many ties instead of losses lately, thats progress, right?!

Takagi-sans punishments have been getting tougher, though.Like, um… h-holding her hand, or calling her first name… but she did putthat one on holdI can call her name anytime in future, only when want to.

I dont know if that day will ever come, but somehow, itfeels like she can already see me doing it…?!
