Chapter 129

"Even Senpai's been trying his hardest" (センパイだって頑張ってんだし) is the one-hundred-twenty-ninth chapter of the Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro manga series.

Summary
During a break while at judo practice, Nagatoro told Gamo-chan what happened when she followed Senpai to his prep school, and thus she was teased for acting "clingy" and being "a stalker" by both her friend, Asaka and Fujimin, despite she confessed to be happy that the boy was getting along with his classmates. Right at that moment Orihara finished a sparring match with Shikki and asked Nagatoro to have another one; however, before fighting her, she confessed to feel a little envious of her due to having friends, a boyfriend and enjoying life while everything she had was her dream to become a Olympic gold medalist. Astonished by her determination, Nagatoro is defeated once again for three times in a row.

Later on, Nagatoro discussed with Gamo-chan how back and forth her dynamic with Orihara felt, right before receiving a text for Senpai, who informed her he's gonna be at prep school all day long. Gamo-chan, who was informed by Sunomiya of Machida, teasingly asked Nagatoro if she wasn't worried of Senpai getting "too close to that prep school girl", causing Nagatoro's jealousy to go wild.

Meanwhile at the school, due to Senpai's improving scores and friendship with the Triumvirate, the teacher declared that from that moment on they would have been the school's "Big Four". As they shared drink to celebrate the moment, Hashimoto and Aihara asked Senpai about his girlfriend, prompting him to admit Nagatoro was not; right at that moment the girl came into the room - having been paying a visit to him - and is visibly sad to confirm his statement. Both Hashimoto and Aihara got flirty with Nagatoro, immediately causing Machida to scold them due to being close to their entrance exams, which she considered a matter of pass or fail and to whom she had thrown away everything else.

Hearing this, Nagatoro is stunned, recognizing Orihara's passion in Machida, however Senpai confess that he simply can't throw everything away for it and declared his intention to beat her at their upcoming entrance exam.
