Kissing Within the Band? Bring It On

Door to RupaTomo's House

Ding dong ding dong ding dong~♪
Good evening~ It's Nina~<3
I made it!

Ah~ So cool~!
Don't just suck the cool air out of someone's house~!

Give that cool air back!
It's alright inside my lungs~!
Hah~ I feel cool from deep inside my body~
Try and take it if you think you can~♪

Give it back~!
Mm~!?

That was man, Tomo-chan...
That was my first kiss, y'know...?
It's your fault for sucking my cool air!
Welcome~<3
You kissed me just like that...

...Could it be that wasn't your first kiss, Tomo-chan?
Of course it wasn't.
Me and Rupa do it every...

Hah...

Yep, we do it every day~
Y-You don't have to say it out loud!
Tokyo is crazy~

And here I thought you had done it with Momoka-san long ago, Nina...
W-We're not in that kind of relationship...!

Faint Memory

I've never even had the chance to kiss anyone before...
...Hm? H-Huh...?
The sensation on my lips just now... Where have I... felt that before...?

...Nina, Nina! The bell's ringing!
Wake up! Class is gonna start...!
Mm~...

Not waking up? If you don't wake up... I'll kiss you~
You okay with that~...?
I'm gonna do it~...

smooch...

Ahahaha! Did you really think I was gonna kiss you?
How stupid are you?
Hrmm~...!

Come on! Let's head back to class~
R-Right...!

Wait for me~...

H-Huh? Could it be...
she really did it back then...!?
No... Surely not...
Or is it~!?
?

Loft of Subaru's House

...So like,
you staying over tonight~?

...Nina?

Why are you sleeping up there~? You little~...
Hey! Wake up~ You'll catch a cold~

...You sure you're not gonna wake up~?
...Danger's approaching, y'know~?

...If you don't wake up~
there's no telling~...
what I'll do~...

y'know...?

Ah~... I did it~...
It's Nina's fault for not waking up...!

Ah...!

p10

ACHOO...!
OW!

That hurt~ Wh-What the~!?
Huh...? Subaru-chan?
Owww....
Wah...!?
Wawah~!!

...Hey!?
I almost fell down the stairs because of you!
Eeh~!? ....Hey, h-how is that my fault...?
You little! You little~!!
She hasn't found out... She hasn't found out! She hasn't found out~!!

p11

Hotpot Party at Momoka's House

Nina... What's wrong?
...Nina!
...What's all this?
Did something happen?

I just noticed that Nina's walking around all wobbly~...

What the...? Hm? Hey.
Don't tell me... she's drunk!?

...Ah!? This is!

Lemon Sour

Oh geez...

Lemon Sour

Thar girl... She mistook a lemon sour for soda and guzzled it down...
...There's only half left.
Oh my~...
Come to think of it, she has been saying that she's been parched ever since she got back from shopping...

We should have her drink some water and lie down...
...Hm?

p12

Mm...

...Wha-... Wh-Wha- What are you doing~!?
In front of everyone too...!!

...Oh?

Mm~...
Oh my~?

p13

Oh my~...?
At least try to resist, Rupa~!
Ngaaaah

Thanks for the treat<3
You know what they say... when petticoats woo<3
Ah, Tomo-chan! Nina-san's heading your way~
Huh...!?
G-Go away, you drunkard!

If you kiss Nina now, it'll be an indirect kiss with me~
...Eh!?

p14

Mmm...!?

W-Wait wait wait...!?
A-An indirect kiss... makes no sense?
I mean, I'm always doing it... directly with Rupa...
Mm..Mmmm~...!

Fu...!
It's finally my turn...!
...Bring it on, Nina!!

...

p15

Hey~ Wait~! Momoka-san~?
Stealing an underaged girl's lips while she's sleeping is a crime, y'know~?
Wha...!?

Y-...Y-Y-Y-... You guys kissed her too just now~!?
Hoho...
That was an act of God<3
Yep yep
An act of God indeed...
Hmph...!!
An act of God!

N-... No fair, you guys~...!
I-I'm the only one... who didn't get a kiss...
Ah~...
N-Now now... Come on! You can at least get an indirect kiss from the drink Nina was drinking<3
Yeah...

Ah, you mean that lemon sour just now...?
Sorry~ I already drank the rest and threw the can into the trash...
Waste not, want not<3
Uwaaah~!!

p16

On the Train Home From Recording

Don't worry...!
We gave our all to make it, after all!

...Ah, Momoka-san~ You're drooling...
...Are you asleep? Geez~...

p17

Yep! Cleaned that up nicely~<3

I... love that kind of thing too<3

Good for you, Momoka-san<3

mumble... mumble~... Let me kiss you, Nina~ smooch~

Proof of Friendship

Taking a break from studio rehearsal...

Hina-san!

...Must be boring just waiting around, right?
Wanna play a game with us~?
Come over here.
Diamond Dust was originally formed from members who all went to high school together...

...One of those members, Kawaragi Momoka, left and I was assigned as her successor...
...Sure.
I guess that's fine...
To be honest, things are still awkward between us...
so my senpais are probably being considerate in order to fill this ditch between us...

p19

So,
what's the game?
Fufufu... That would be~
Here.

Marker

The King Game~!

...
...Their communication is less like college students... and more like excited high schoolers...?
Here I go~!
Come on, King~!
Kya<3
Okay... Ready~ Who is the king~!?

Alright~!
I'm the king~!
What will your order be~!
Hrmm~!

In that case~... No.1 and~ No.2 shall~ kiss~!
I'm No.1~!
No.3 here~!

No.2

Ah~ Yeah yeah. They're gonna kiss on the cheek and go kya~!... or something~
Kya~<3
It really is... like a party of cheery high schoolers. What a drag...

p20

...Huh!?

...D-Don't tell me they're...
t-targeting me...!?

p21

And then the next turn.

Who is the king~?

No.1, huh...

I'm the king, huh...

No.1...
shall have a passionate kiss with everyone here~!
Gwaah!?
...H-How did they figure out which one I was!?

...Hmmm!?
N-Now that I look closely... This stick is slightly reddish...!?

I put some lipstick on the No.1 when I drew it earlier~<3
Nice one~
Ufufu<3
Oh my~ How clever~!
Nya nya...
Grr... I was careless~!

p22

Come on, Hina-chan~ No escape~...
The king's orders are absolute~...
This isn't fair!
Ch-Cheaters...!
Tough luck~ Your fate is sealed~...

...Hey, Hina-chan. There's still a ditch between us, right~...?
Hah... Hah... Hah...
This is... a ritual to fill that ditch... Yes, a ritual~...

If we have a deep, passionate kiss, we'll fill that ditch in an instant...
You understand... don't you...?

N-No! We don't need to do this... W-We could go out to eat, or go shopping...
Woah... How strong are they!?

p23

...Mmm~!? Sh-She's sticking her tongue in!?

...Mm-mmm~!? You're taking so long...!

...Mm-mmboho!? Sh-She really knows how to suck~!

The lips of a young maiden really are great~
Fwah~ I feel young again~<3
That was great<3
Hah...
Hah...

Damn that Hina, calling me out so suddenly...!
But... she said she'd treat me, so I can't exactly not go...
