Chapter 31

"You lack that spirit of adventure, Senpai" (冒険心ってものがセンパイに足りないとこなんですよ) is the thirty-first chapter of the Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro manga series.

Summary
Nagatoro criticized Senpai for never exiting his comfort zone nor taking some risk, suggesting for example that instead of drinking every day the same standard flavored orange juice, he should try taking the "mystery juice" in the vending machine close to the school, which is a juice with a question mark on the can that nobody know what it taste like. Not wanting to take those kind of risk, Senpai noticed that Nagatoro herself has that same orange juice, prompting him to told her she was the same as him regarding taking risks. Sulking, the girl replied that she usually didn't drink that kind of juice, so it was risky enough for her.

After taking a few sip, Nagatoro sat back on the sofa while Senpai continue drawing, then he took a sip for his orange juice and placed the bottle on the same stool over which Nagatoro placed hers. The collision made both bottles fall but Senpai was quick to getting them back, however he couldn't recognize anymore which one was his and which Nagatoro's. Noticing the girl was silently watching, and not wanting to be mocked for an accidental indirect kiss, Senpai tried to watch her reaction as he moved his hands from a bottle to the other but Nagatoro had an impassive expression.

Senpai supposed that Nagatoro was unable to tell which one was her bottle too and, feeling thirsty, decided to take the risk drinking from one of them. Seeing this, the girl blushed and, without saying anything, drank from the other bottle. If they actually do indirectly kissed was left ambiguous.

 * Nagatoro actually knew which one was her bottle and it was exactly the one taken by Senpai however, after he drank from it, she was too ashamed to say anything and decided to play it along and drink from the other bottle, blushing as she knew perfectly that it would mean an indirect kiss.
