Ichikawa.

Do you use LINE?

Is she mocking me?!

I may not have any friends, but even I use LINE!

Although I mostly just use it to talk with family.

Well...

I enjoy it in moderation.

Just like alcohol!

AUTO-ADD FRIENDS - CREATE A GROUP

Look at this.

ON MY WAY

I think this sticker is really funny.

How unfunny, as usual.

Do you want me to send you these too?

No, I'm fine.

Our class doesn't have a LINE group.

I hear class 2 does.

Class 2 really tries hard to come off chummy, huh?

The basketball team had one.

Oh, that's right!

Does the tech club have one?

What's this conversation getting at?!

I don't think so.

Well, maybe they just never invited me.

You should ask then.

Huh? No way!

Why not?!

If they didn't invite me in such a small club...

it must mean they didn't want to.

I'm sure Yamada can't understand.

How it feels to be the one left out.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 16TH

-I want a bae before Christmas! -Oh?

Come on! This is the part where you say, "Me too!"

But I know nothing will come out of just saying I want one!

I need to take some real action!

Like what?

Hmm... for example...

I know!

Exchanging LINE accounts with all the boys in class!

-Oh. Good luck with that. -I like it!

Oh? Anna's finally playing along!

Getting a boyfriend would be easier than breathing for Yamada!

Go out with me.

Yes!

Don't get Yamada involved in this!

Um...

Wait!

No level 99 goes around beating up slimes!

A slime...

Well, didn't you say we were swapping with all the boys in class?

Ah, you're right.

In that case...

-Icchi, what's your LINE? -Icchi?!

QR code fine? Here.

Ah... well...

Ah, here it is.

Oh, your icon is Rem from Re:Zero!

Huh? You know it?

Yeah, my big bro's an otaku.

I prefer Ram, though.

Is this proof that there really are gyaru who are nice to otaku?

What's with those eyes of a murderer?

Well then.

At your level, you need to tackle some stronger enemies.

Stronger?

Hmm, from this class, someone like Ishimuro-kun?

It's true that Ishimuro-kun is the star of the track-and-field team,

with good grades and normal looks.

Go and ask him!

Moe-chan, you're the one who wants it, right?

Ishimuro-kun lives in the same apartment as me.

For real?!

So, do you two know each other?

Our parents get along.

When we see each other, I say hi.

The same apartment... abbreviated as "sament"!

In other words, that means they live under the same roof!

So you have his LINE, then?

Well, no I don't...

Go and ask him!

And that's when...

No! Don't do it!

Um...

However, I have no reason to stop her...

Ishimura-kun, do you use LINE?

Could it be?!

Ichikawa.

Do you use LINE?

I do...

Then let's add each other.

That kind of situation?!

Ah!

Eh?

Ah, no, well...

-That guy's got a screw loose for sure. -What happened?

Sorry, never mind.

Wait. Calm down.

There's no way...

Well, but...

Either way, next time she asks, I'll respond immediately!

-I do, I do, I do... -Hey, Ichikawa.

-Would you do it with your sister? -I do!

Ah...

You do it with your sister, man?!

What a freak!

Next, try spelling out "I cup."

KIMIIRO OCTAVE

Yamada tried to swap LINEs with me.

Wait, she has plenty of friends.

I'm sure she thinks nothing of giving her LINE to people.

The kind of guy Yamada is into...

Icy and blunt with his words,

but he's actually really nice, and cute at times, and clumsy...

Like hell someone like that exists!

Oh, whoops.

I keep running into you.

Are you in love with me?

You say some vain things for such a gloomy jerk!

What if you turn out to be wrong?!

Well, of course he conveniently happens to be right.

Stop it...

Oh no! These idle thoughts are no good!

Don't consider the possibility! Stop it!

I NEVER SAID I DIDN'T LIKE IT

In the end, I only read three pages last night.

It's really good.

The new Dead or Dead game.

Yamada-san, wanna come over and try it?

Your intentions are obvious!

Yamada only plays Animal Sailing.

What's that?

Not even that?

Good! Keep it up, Kobayashi the iron-clad defense!

Again?

More importantly, who's that?

You think she's his girlfriend?

If it was, not even Nanjo-senpai would hit on Yamada so obviously.

No, he's a polygamist, you see.

You know a lot about scumbag biology, huh?

Then you come, Kobayashi-san.

More like, I'd be fine if it was just you, Kobayashi-san.

Huh?!

That's way too blatant, dude!

It's clear as day he's only out for Yamada...

Eh?!

No?

-I... I don't mind... -Chi?

What a pushover!

Then that's that.

Feel free to come along, Yamada-san.

You don't have to worry with the two of you. Right?

Not good... This isn't good at all!

I didn't think the wall would crumble so easily!

Hey, why aren't you saying anything?

I'm not going, okay?

I see. Maybe I'll invite Moe-chan then.

You're really gonna go?

Well, I don't have any reason to say no.

I'm sure it won't be any fun.

Hey, isn't that a little mean?

How can you be so sure?

Yamada's too kind to tell her she's being used as bait.

Well, he's... you know... kinda...

She's bad at badmouthing people.

What, you're dissing him?

You're not the kind to put others down.

Whatever!

You do what you want then!

What's with you?

Looks like I'll need to seriously think about how to kill Nan-pai.

What's the matter?

No, I just thought it'd be nice to read outside once in a while.

She found out I was trying to be considerate.

How lame of me.

Hey Ichikawa, do you play games?

Well, I do have a Smitch.

Although even that's a recent purchase.

Tatsuo's parents got him a Smitch.

Already? Wow!

I tried one out at Yodobashi and it controlled pretty poorly.

It's just for casuals anyway.

Sealed away memories are flooding back!

Are you alright?

Yeah, it's nothing.

My papa plays, so we have them all.

A Smitch, a PlaySaturn, and he plays on his computer too.

And then...

It's Yamada-san!

-That girl... -Whoa, she's cute!

Sorry about earlier.

You know, Haruya...

I mean, Nanjo, he's a bit pushy.

A deliberate slip of the tongue.

Trying to show off their special relationship.

I'm sure you already have a boyfriend, Yamada-san.

Huh? No, I don't.

You can't be serious!

Really!

Ah, that's right.

You're technically in show business.

So you have to say that...

I really don't have one!

I swear!

Eh... seriously?!

-What? -"Seriously"?

What does that mean?

She seemed really surprised.

Wait, what is it?!

You know...

Yeah.

You shouldn't be so close to me in front of...

What now?

Just come here.

Nan-pai?! Oh no!

Eh?

Wh... Why...?

Hey! Haruya!

Um...

Sorry!

Let's go.

What was that?

What the hell just happened?

It'd be one thing if she pushed me away,

but getting so close is going to cause misunderstandings...

Seriously, what?!

You didn't realize?

Bayashi-ko, you were obviously bait to lure Anna in.

-You were just being used. -What?

That man is one real dirtbag.

You moron. That's his charm.

-Kobayashi? -Well... it was on purpose!

I was doing it all on purpose!

I can't bear to watch this.

Look, I knew what was going on!

See, I knew which is why I stayed composed, like an adult!

Okay?

Um... Yamada.

Hey, are you listening?

Yamada! Yamada-san!

Anna! An-chan!

Giant idiot girl.

Wait up!

Hey!

Ouch! Stop that!

What?

Well, um...

I'm not gonna go either.

Good grief! What will I ever do with you?

You're so quick to lord it over.

The girls' peace has not been broken.

Nan-pai didn't get the wrong idea, did he?

About me and Yamada...

No, not a chance.

Besides, Yamada hangs out with me because...

Bayashi-ko, you were obviously bait to lure Anna in.

You were just being used.

Was I being used? By Yamada?

I see...

She was using me to ward off pesky men.

Even though she doesn't like me at all.

All of it up to now...

So that's what it was!

KIMIIRO OCTAVE

THE MURDER ENCYCLOPEDIA

Good morning!

-Yo! -Hey.

Since then, I haven't gone to the library.

Yesterday, the day before...

I couldn't care less anymore.

CLASS 2-3

Are you mad at me? Why?

Because I'm too close?

She's been worried about what I said back then?

That's not it.

Well, whatever.

Bye. I'm in a hurry.

I'm sorry.

Has her pride been wounded?

Because someone she was trying to use ended up hating her?

Ah, of course...

That's right.

I should have known all along.

That Yamada would never act like that.

I just wanted a reason to hate her.

NEW GAME RELEASE!

Want me to ask Mama to buy you one?

No! It wasn't even good.

You were playing it for two hours!

When you want something so badly, but you know it can't happen...

I was just scared I would love her even more as I spent time with her...

Um... I really just had stuff to do during lunch break.

Really? You're not mad?

I'm not.

Sorry, that was a hug for making up.

You don't like it when I'm close, right?

I never said I didn't like it.

Are you in love with me?

Shut up, go away!

Let's go home together.

Also, on the topic of natto.

Do you know the tastiest way to eat it?

It's really good if you eat it after mixing it 40 times...

Sorry, I don't like natto.

You should have told me that sooner!

I was talking about it so passionately!

That's exactly why it was so hard to butt in.

Yamada and I really do have different likes and tastes.

Alright, see you.

Wai...

Let's talk for a little longer.

Do you really want to talk about natto that badly?

I don't mind natto fried rice.

Huh?

Huh?!

Are you going anywhere over winter break?

A sudden change in topic?!

Yeah, I'm visiting my father's family.

Huh, where?

Akita.

Ah, they have that one tasty thing.

What was it?

Aki... tan... honpo.

Kiritanpo.

It's not Akachan Honpo, you know.

Also, Namahage come out every night, don't they?

Every night?

The place isn't that brutal.

Ah! I meant to give this back!

I had it in here the whole time.

-How was it? -Surprisingly good.

What was your favorite part?

-The beginning... -As for me, I like the beginning...

Where they argue in the corner of the notebook.

Me too!

I'll bring the next one on Monday...

It's nothing. I'll bring the next one on Monday.

Alright.

Yeah.

Wait, hold on!

You got me there.

No bae for me!

Cheer up.

Sorry!

I forgot to bring the next KimiOct!

Ah, it's fine.

I'll bring it tomorrow.

Wait, winter break starts tomorrow.

Oh yeah.

Then... we can meet up somewhere and I'll bring it.

No, you really don't need to go that far.

Wait, wait, wait!

Volume three ended on a real doozy, didn't it?!

What happens next is wild!

So much pressure.

Yamada!

Go on ahead!

So...

Tell me your LINE.

KYO A

Kyo...

No, I mean tomorrow!

Yeah... tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

MONDAY, DECEMBER 23RD

KYO AAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOAAAAAAAAAA THERE'S AN O IN THERE!

-I WIN -WHY??

BECAUSE YOU TALKED

TOMORROW SHIBUYA IN FRONT OF HACHIKO

-2 P.M. SOUND GOOD? -YOU MEAN TODAY

GOOD NIGHT

Good night.
