Kyupicchi Cupid ch1

I, Daidaisaki Mikan, have someone I like.
Ichigo, wanna come over to my place tomorrow?

Eh~!? Sure, I'll go~
But she doesn't notice my feelings at all...

Night
I've invited her to my place,
so I wanna do something that'll make her aware of me...
Hmm~...

Invite to my house - Clear!
Make her aware of me by...

Oh?

Who's that appearing before girl worrying about love...?

I'm the cupid demon Debi Ruriko, at your service!
Are you the one who summoned me?
Kyururu~n
A girl in a crazy getup just showed up!?

Um, I don't recall summoning you.
Hmm. That's odd.
But right here

is the summoning mark.
My scribble became something so crazy...!?

So basically, you have someone you love, right?
Eeh!?

Indeed, I am a cupid demon.
I appear before those facing troubles with romance.
Aren't cupids usually supposed to be angels...?
They've been using little devils a lot lately~ In fact, I hear this originally used to be our job.
Little devils...
Gulp...
So with that said,

please leave it to this rookie cupid demon on her first mission!
Those aren't words that make me want to leave it to you.

Now, without further ado, Mikan-san, let's do some profiling on your partner.

Data (Secret)

An investigation!?

I see. Akano Ichigo-san. Height, 165cm.
Wait, how do you know that?
I am a cupid demon, after all.

A kind girl who's popular both inside and outside her class.
What's more, she's athletic, gets good grades, and is even kind to otakus.
This is...

really difficult, isn't it?
A popular girl...
And this is my first mission as a rookie cupid demon too...
Is this really okay?

Hmm.
You're cute, Mikan-san, so it should be able to work out.
Or so I thought, but...
your partner is popular with a lot of people...

What do I do...? Can I really place my faith in this girl...?
Even so,

if you two were to date,
you'd really suit each other.

Y-You think so? Ehehe~
I'm sure it'll be okay with this girl!
Mikan was a pushover.

Let's study by watching this romance drama I've downloaded!
I've got a subscription!
It wasn't okay at all.

Hmm, it seems going on the attack is important.

Attack...
At... tack...

Fweeh~
*Romance dramas on subscription services had a lot of love scenes.
You wear that kind of outfit and yet you have no immunity to this kind of thing!?

I at least understand that going on the attack is important!
Hang~!
So with that said,
let's come up with a plan.
Yeah~...

First, I'll use this favorability meter.

All Purpose Item: Favorability Meter DXαV2

So those weren't actually glasses?

In the meantime, Mikan-san, please get a good mood going on.
That's sloppy.

Mikan-san
Ichigo-san
Favorability Gauge

I'll watch in hiding and give you a signal if her favorability goes up.

That's your signal to attack!
So you're basically letting me know when I've got a chance, huh...!
Got it...!
Well then, we'll commence the plan tomorrow!

The next day
Pardon the intrusion~
So this is your room, huh, Mikan?
Ooh~!
C-Come in~

Here we go! Commencing the operation.
First, let's measure their favorability.

All Purpose Item: Favorability Meter DXαV2 (New)

Th-This is...!

They're already
mutually at MAX!?

Evaluation: Mutually unrequited

Okay, I'll fetch us some-
Hey, Mikan.
Thanks for inviting me over today.
Eh?

You don't invite people to your home often, right?
I feel happy that I'm somewhat special.

...
Yeah...!
Huh? The mood is kinda

nice...

You're not even
trying to hide!

If Ichigo sees that, the mood will be ruined...!
That girl's gonna ruin everything!!

What's wrong?
Eh!?
H-How about we play a game while you're here?
I need to make sure she doesn't look up!!

How about Jenga?
Putting the cart before the horse.

Aah, Mikan-san! You had a good mood going on,
so why Jenga of all things...!?

It wasn't in the drama, but you just need to attack!
It's mutual! You'll win as long as you just attack!

Mikan-san! Attack! Attack!!
Hey, she's gonna notice you if you move around like that!

Ah.

Slip

What are you doing!?

Wait a minute. Don't tell me.
While she's falling,

she's signalling me to attack!?
What kind of pose is that!?

Before the notices the sound of her falling,
Finishing Move: Thing She Saw in the Drama Last Night

I've gotta do it~
Push and Pull Rocket

M-Mikan!?
Erm,
m-my foot slipped...
I-I see.

Hey, wait. Did you hear something just-
I-Ichigo!

Just look at me for now.
!?

Uuh... I accidentally slipped...

Sneakily snuck out

Some cupid I turned out to be.

According to the favorability meter, they're both mutually unrequited,
so there shouldn't be anything to worry about, but...
Ooh, tantalizing.

All Purpose Item: Favorability Meter DXαV2

I wonder if things are going well for Mika-san...
~<3
~<3
Hm?

kiss...<3
kiss<3
kiss...<3

!?

Thank you, Ruriko!
It went well thanks to you~

too much...
Eh?

You attacked too much!?
Suddenly ki-ki-ki...ki-...ki-...

How shameless!
You heard us!?
And seriously, you have no immunity!
Business Success +1

Seems it was a bit too stimulating for our rookie cupid.

Kyupicchi Cupid ch2

I, Daidaisaki Mikan, have gotten a lover.
So like, next week,
I'll be going on a date with Ichigo.

I see! Should I prepare some shoujo manga for your date?

Supadari Festival

No, please don't.
And this girl, Ruriko, is apparently a demon known as a Succupid.

And so, she's coming over today so we can make plans for the date.
Oh~!
Taking action already. How splen-
DID!
I've found you, demon!

You're Daidaisaki Mikan, right!?
I-Ichigo?
And...who!?
Sorry for coming in without knocking~!

A scantily clad girl showing up out of nowhere seems awfully familiar.

Ichigo, who is this girl...?
Well, y'see,
this girl is actually...

I'm Enji Eru,
Akano Ichigo's assigned
cupid angel!

Ichigo has a cupid too!?

Daidaisaki Mikan, I need you
to break up with Ichigo!
!?

Yesterday, Ichigo said she was going to the house of the girl she was interested in.
Ehehe~
Fufufu~
I'm worried...
I got worried and went to check up on her.

And then, I noticed the presence of a demon in that house...!
I-Is that a demon I detect...!?
And then,
the pure and innocent Ichigo...

w-was suddenly kissing a girl
that she hadn't even dated up until now!
Hoeh~...<3

This is clearly the work of a demon!
You saw that...?
An angel saw us.

No, that's just because those two are so shameless!
Please stop.

Why must you always blame everything on demons! That's rude towards demons, y'know!?
Fufu.
I know fully well that demons are dangerous.
Eh?

Indeed. Before I became a cupid...
Hah
D-Does this angel have trauma involving a demon...?

I read it in this textbook.

New Cupid Manual 2nd Complete Edition Revised

So it was nothing!?

In any case, I refuse to let Ichigo go out
with Daidaisaki Mikan, who is friends with a demon!!

That's not for you decide.
What do you think of this, Ichigo-san?

Me?
I have no intention of breaking up with Mikan!
You see? There's no way she'd associate with a human who's been around de-...

You're gonna date her? Eh?
What did this angel even come here for?

You still don't wanna break up!? She's the friend of a demon, y'know!?
Mikan is Mikan!

And you're not a bad person either, are you, Demon-san?
Fufufu. But of course.
After all,

I'm a rookie cupid demon on her first job!!
A-A rookie cupid demon on her first job!?

Reliable - Reassuring - Cupid

There's nothing trustworthy about her...
That's a fair opinion.

Reliable - Reassuring - Cupid

I still say no! That demon is too suspicious!
In what way~!
And so is her friend!

Her friend

I know I'm worrying too much,
but I want you to be happy, Ichigo...
Eru...

I guess there's no helping it!
What say we settle this at next week's date!?

You'll see for yourself how perfect a partner for Ichigo-san
Mikan-san really is!
Ruriko!?

Evening
Okay, until your date next week,
I'm gonna make you perfectly popular, Mikan-san~!

Perfectly popular?
Indeed!
Perfectly popular. In other words,
a "supadari"!!

Short for "super darling",
it describes someone who is smart, hi-spec and attracts attention from all across the world!
Earth revolves around superdars.

Supadari Festival

More knowledge obtained from fiction...

If you become a supadari, you'll get better grades, make more friends and win the lottery.
That sounds like what a suspicious cult would say!

We'll start with the feelings! Repeat after me, Mikan-san!
Supadari is supreme! Supadari is supreme!
Is she starting a religious chant?

Go on, Mikan-san!
E-Erm...
Supadari is supreme~
Oh, you're a bit quiet.

If you become a superdar,
I'm sure Ichigo-san will be all over you.
You're so lovely and smoochable with extra veggies and bean sprouts and firm noodles~
!!
Hah...

Super darling is supreme!
Wahoo~
Mikan is pretty gullible.

Next is this!

Project S (The S is for Super Darling) - supadari

I've put together a superdar training menu.

Wah...
Working out, marathons,
even mental training...
Will I really be able to do all this...?

Don't worry. I'm with you all the way.
I'm sure we can overcome this together.
Ruriko...

Now then, let's do our best to become supadaris!!
Right!

Project S

The training program put together by the cupid demon
was by no means easy.

*Supadari Pose Practice
Project S

But Mikan did not give in.
It was all to get Ichigo all over her...
Sometimes running, sometimes learning...

I - DU - NN - O 201
Project S

And then...
she finally became

Project S

a "supadari".
Wait, you became one, Rurikooo!?

Day of the date
Sorry to have kept you waiting, kittens...

So you're here, demon and friend!
...!?
Was she always like that...?
I'm gonna put you through the wringer today!

That frown really doesn't suit you.
Bad.
Baby.
Uwah~ What's with you!?

What is that?
Erm.
A supadari.
A supawhat?

Formerly known as Debi Ruriko,
I am now Supa☆Dariko.
Ko... ko...
So lame!

Now then, my frowny little angel,
Aaaaah
surrender yourself to me...

I'll perk you up☆
Supadariiii...
She's not so much a supadari than she is a total weirdo.

This is
a supadari...?
Hah hah hah...

A-Amazing...
Hawa...
I wonder what that angel sees in her.

Even so, I can't approve of you two!
Hyaaah

Don't go running away.
C'mere...
Kyaaaaah
That's seriously... creepy.

Supadari hidden technique: Ultimate Backhug

Kh, to think that demon could become such a supadari.
She's gonna steal my heart at this rate...
Eeh..?

Daidaisaki Mikan, since you're friends with "Dariko-sama",
Your heart's already been stolen.
I have to approve of your relationship with Ichigo...
Eh? But I haven't even done anything yet...

Fufu. Mikan-san.
Having awakened as a supadari, I realised that the fastest way to get the angel's approval,
was to just capture her heart directly.

I've protected your romance, you two.
D-Dariko-samaaaaaa!

Rookie Cupid obtained "supadari affinity" and "high favorability"!!!!!

Kyupicchi Cupid ch3

I, Daidaisaki Mikan, got a girlfriend the other day.
...
The day has finally arrived.

Fufufu. I'm itching to put my skills to use...!
This girl is Enji Eru,
a cupid angel assigned to my girlfriend Akano Ichigo.

Excuse me.
I'm getting hungry.
And this girl is Ruriko, a reliable cupid demon.

Now then, is everyone ready?
Have some candy.
Ah, thanks.
And today is Ichigo's birthday...

Here we go!
So why are we doing this again...?
Ichigo Birthday Celebration Executive Committee with Q

What the heck is going on?

A few days ago.
Oh, Mikan-san.
Is something troubling you?
Yeah...
Hrmm...
I can't decide on a birthday present for Ichigo...

It's the week after the next.
That's close...
I'll think with you!
Th-Thanks~

Ah.
That's right.
Maybe that angel staying with Ichigo could give me some advice too.
Sounds good. Let's try asking her!

She just so happens to be right there.
Uwah! Intruder!

Tell me what's going on!!
Would you mind telling us what you're doing here first?

Eru-san's been following you
for the past few days.
An angel is stalking me...

You're wrong! I'm just following this demon, I mean, Dariko-sama, since she's my target.
It's still stalking in the end.

Well,
let's put that issue aside and talk about the present for now.
Yes, let's.

The stalking issue

Is that really okay?

Ahem
Since you're lovers, your respective birthdays are very important events.
They have a huge influence on your favorability...!

And the most important aspect is the present!
Depending on what you get her, it can carry all sorts of meanings.

Isn't that right, Eru-san?

Notice me, you hunky demon

You know your stuff!
What was that just now?

Do you have any potential presents in mind?
Erm.
Maybe something like lipcream?
Oh~!!

That's a pretty nice choice!
I wonder what giving lipcream to someone means?

Let's see~ "Giving lipcream to a lover

New Cupid Manual 2nd Complete Edition

means "I want to steal your lips"."...

That's so sudden!

It's good that you two are getting so lovey-dovey,
but speaking as an angel, that extreme kind of thing is kinda...
Pretty shameless...
What are you, grade schoolers?

Any other ideas?
Erm.
How about matching t-shirts...!?

She did say
she liked this kind of thing.

Nasal Expansion for a Good Night's Sleep
Funny~
Funny~

I see.
Incidentally,
the meaning behind giving clothes is...

"I-I wanna take them off"!?
This is such a pain!

In that case, Eru-san,
do you know what Ichigo has been wanting lately?
Hmm~ Let's see...

A vacuum cleaner, maybe...
Hers broke the other day...
A consumer appliance.

M-Maybe something that's a little more in my budget?
Hmmm~...
Hmm...

This is bad. I'm been so engrossed in following Dariko-sama
that I don't really know...

Stalker xCupid Angelx

Mikan-san!
Come to think of it, Eru-san is her exclusive cupid!
She's sure to have some incredible hints!
!?

Not just anyone can become exclusively assigned, y'know!
She's sure to know this and that~ about Ichigo-san...!
This and that~...!?

She's surely a capable cupid
who knows everything!
It's reassuring to have an exclusive cupid!
Go on, Eru-san! Don't hold anything back!

I'm sorry...
Why!?

I'm such a worthless cupid angel...
What's wrong!?
I don't know why, but Eru-san's taking damage!

I'm an ignorant and powerless cupid. No, I'm just a stalker...
But trust me when I say this.
Ichigo is head over heels for Daidaisaki Mikan.
!?

She usually has a composed expression
but once she starts talking about you,
Mikan was like,
Mikan
Mikan Mikan
Portable O2
not even running out of oxygen can stop her.
At a night,
she always grins while looking at photos of you.

I'm sorry that this is all the intel I can offer you...
That's some pretty crazy intel, though!?

Thank you, Eru-san.
That was some wonderful intel.

I've got an idea.

*Gal Game
Gal Getchu

Wait, I've got a bad feeling about this.

Ruriko, what's that?
Reference material.
That's the last thing that would make for good reference.

You should offer yourself as a present, Mikan-san!!
I'm a great deal...<3
Moron!

My eyes were opened when I learned of this method.
I was wondering when I should use it,
fufufu
but it appears now is the time...!
Could you maybe not use it ever!?

Daidaisaki Mikan as the present...!?
It's revolutionary...!!
Hah...
These angels are useless!

Ichigo would definitely be happy with that!
No, she'd just be creeped out.
But Mikan-san is head over heels for you, y'know?
But...
There's no better present!
...

I-
I guess I'll be the present then~!
Ehehehe~
As everyone is already aware, Mikan is gullible.

And so, the day of the birthday.
Ichigo-san!
Happy B-day!

Just as planned,
Mikan was offered as a present...
But a few days after the meeting, a problem presented itself.

She had regained her composure.
I-I-I'm so embarrassed I could die~

Hah
Mikan-san's not moving an inch...!
She must be really into the present role...!
I'm just trying to erase my presence out of sheer embarrassment.

Daidaisaki Mikan, what an aura...
I can feel her resolve to be a present...
What kind of resolve does a present have?

Mikan-san's working so hard.
We cupids need to give her our support!

Ah, there's a lock on the present!
It seems only her lover can open it~!
Enough with the weird assist!

Erm, how do I go about accepting this present~?
Fufufu
Ichigo's playing along too!?

Hmm~?
I-I can't take it. I'm seriously gonna die of embarrassment at this rate...

In that moment,
those harsh days of training
*See previous chapter
started rushing through Mikan's brain.

What's this? You're gonna accept me?
SupaDari Mode Awakened
Something's awakened inside of her!?

M-Mikan?
No returns...
No, I'm never letting you go...!

I've caught you...
Ah<3

It's time for Ichigo and I to have some fun,
so we'll be taking out leave.
Thank you for today, cupids...!

It's a huge success...!!
Mikan-san's finally achieve it too...!
Indeed...!
bye...
Business Success +1000
