Chapter 26

"This is like a date, isn't it, Senpai?♡" (デートみたいっすね、センパイ♡) is the twenty-sixth chapter of the Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro manga series.

Summary
Nagatoro and Senpai decided to wander around the festival together, eating and cotton candy, after a while Senpai has a feeling that it was kind of like a date, while Nagatoro expressed this thought out loud, before quickly correcting herself adding she was joking and there was no way she could ever go on a date with him. Nagatoro suggested though that she could play pretending and gave him a taste of what dating feel like, so she asked if he wanted to try hold hands, before he could answer the fireworks started causing the girl to getting anxious as she loved their town's fireworks, despite Senpai admitting he only saw them once in primary school.

Since they found the fireworks contest on the beach too crowded, Senpai remembered that when he saw them last time it was on a spot into the nearby woods. Due to her short stature, when the crowd started to move Nagatoro was caught between them, prompting Senpai to grab her by the hand in order to drag her to the spot he remembered, from which they had a great view on the fireworks.

Feeling uncomfortable for the romantic situation, Nagatoro started teasing Senpai asking what was he thinking bringing a girl on a dark spot like that and calling him a "perverted virgin". Realizing from his past experience that Nagatoro got embarrassed pretty easily herself, Senpai decided to gave her a taste of her own medicine asking her what she meant for "lewd stuff". Too ashamed to answer, Nagatoro started to stutter something regarding embracing and kissing, claiming that anyway there wasn't a chance he could do something like that, causing Senpai to ask her if she believe she could.

Despite stating she totally could, after the fireworks lighten the place, showing lot of couples kissing all around them, they both got embarrassed and run away to see the fireworks quietly in a more hidden place.
