Chapter 37

"Senpai's staring into space" (センパイが遠い目してる) is the thirty-seventh chapter of the Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro manga series.

Summary
Posing for him in the "Nekotoro" costume, Nagatoro teases Senpai on making her look sexy, while Gamo-chan, Yoshi and Sakura mocked him for his embarrassment. The girls then started to chat regarding what they planned to do with their clubs or class for the Cultural Festival, then, while asking what would be the art club exhibition Senpai stared into space and began to remember...

The previous year, while still a freshman in high school, he helped the zealous President of the club to organize the art display for the club's exhibition at the previous Cultural Festival, which is revealed to be a huge success; the boy indulged in how much he admired the driven, charismatic and amazing person the she was and how the last day of their exhibition she thanked him for having allowed her to have some good memories before having to go to cram school like all the second years, thus becoming unable to join club activities anymore and leaving the art club to him.

After Nagatoro woke him up from his memories, Senpai answered that he would probably make an art display like the previous year, causing the girls to said it would be boring and that they would give him an hand to fire it up a little. Nagatoro ironically suggested it would be fun to have games in which torturing him or a kitty-themed while Sakura suggested a cross-dressing café featuring Senpai dressed like a female maid, which a secretly amused Nagatoro refused, fearing the boy could get too much attentions.

In that exact moment, Senpai heard some familiar footsteps and asked the girls to hid in the prep room right before the President entered with a stern expression.
