Side Story 1

"Practice makes perfect, Senpai!" (何事も実践からですよ､センパイ) is the first side story of the Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro manga series.

Summary
While looking at the school's soccer team's practice, Senpai and Nagatoro noticed how good was their top star, Hosokawa, which is Senpai's classmate but is likely to go pro in the next years. Feeling a little jealous, Senpai commented on how good should feel to be praised by people and, after Nagatoro asked him if he wanted to be praised as well, he answered that it would be impossible due to not having any special talent. Nagatoro stated to "put that aside" since talent is irrelevant and what really matter is if he ever complimented others, since it would be impossible for other people to compliment him if he never do the same with them; as practice the girl suggested him to try compliment her.

Finding himself in front of this task, Senpai admitted to himself for the first time that he think that Nagatoro has a cute face, very beautiful slim legs and a good smell, however he was too embarrassed to said those thoughts out loud, so he simply said that her hair are very silky, that she's very light on her feet and that he found her martial arts skills cool. This last one actually made Nagatoro blush a little.

Then the girl tried to complimented Senpai in turn, however, finding it difficult she simply said that his face and the expressions he made were very interesting and that his back felt great to beat. Saying it, she turn behind him and started hitting his back while he shouted that none of those were compliments. Not having him in front of her anymore, Nagatoro's expression sweetened and she started to admit that there also something more about it every once in a while.

Nagatoro didn't ended up her sentence, however a little flashback shown her looking with a dreamy gaze at Senpai while he was concentrating on painting.
