Chapter 25

"Senpai, please don't drag me down~" (センパイ、足引っ張らないで下さいよ~) is the twenty-fifth chapter of the Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro manga series.

Summary
After receiving the picture, Nagatoro immediately run from the swimming club's lockers to the temple where Senpai was held "prisoner" by her friends, lying that her club activity finished earlier than she expected thus allowing her to came since she was free. Wanting to tease her friend/rival about her feelings for Senpai, the taller girl told her that if Nagatoro wanted to free him she had to defeat them in some games at the festival. Competitive as always, Nagatoro accepted the challenge but not without insisting that she didn't care for Senpai at all.

They began with a shooting game, splitting for a 2 vs 2 team battle in which the winner would have been the pair who managed to get the most decent prizes. Paired in the same team with Senpai, Nagatoro asked him why she was at the festival, to which he lied that he wanted a change of pace, Nagatoro replied asking if he was waiting for her to invite him at the festival, making him blush. The girl then pointed out that if there was a place he wanted to go with someone, he had to invite that person himself.

After playing some other games, Nagatoro and Senpai managed to win a big Squiddy plushes and, knowing Yoshi collected them, the girl gave it to her, thus "bribing" her and winning the contest. Her other friend immediately freed Senpai from the collar, then she and Yoshi left so as to let the pair enjoy some time alone at the festival.
