Chapter 9

"You're too gullible, Senpai~♡" (センパイ､ちょろ過ぎる～♡) is the ninth chapter of the Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro manga series.

Summary
Senpai woke up in a fantasy world with dragons and living puddings, he got attacked by a giant lizard only to be saved by "Nekotoro" (a cat-version of Nagatoro) who told him she would be his companion in the quest to defeat the Demon King. Together, Senpai and Nekotoro faced hordes of puddings, goblins and barbarian, while Senpai's character status progressed like in an RPG from villagers to wizard. Eventually they managed to defeat and tame a dragon, getting progressively closer, to the point that Nekotoro kissed him on the cheek.

After arriving the Demon King's castle, however, Nekotoro assumes a devil-esque attire revealing that she herself is the Great Demon King Nagatoro, and has only toyed with him since the very beginning. She stated that she tricked him because he was too gullible, and mocked him for falling for her due to something like a simple kiss on the cheek, she then called him a coward, unsure, gross and wriggling small fry that nobody could ever loved and doesn't stand a chance with a girl like her. As Senpai's heart broke, the Great Demon King Nagatoro bond him with a dog collar with the intention to turning him into her plaything.

Senpai woke up screaming from his bad dream and, the following day, walking to school, is approached and cheerfully greeted by Nagatoro in a cat pose. Shocked by that coincidence, he was unable to answer her, making the girl suspicious.

Trivia

 * This is the first time Senpai associated Nagatoro to a cat in his subconscious.
 * Said association went so far as he assumed out of nowhere that she actually has a pet cat, which in Chapter 18 is revealed not to be the case.
 * It is strongly implied that Senpai's dream is caused from his insecurities due to Nagatoro's kiss from the previous chapter: he was deeply affected by it but eventually convinced himself she was only toying with him, just like his mental projection of Nagatoro told him at the end of the dream.
