## Plot

Nagatoro has a nightmare in which, after she called Senpai a creep repeatedly, he left her alone and hang out with Gamo-chan and Yoshi instead. After she woke up in the art club, the girl found out Senpai has covered her with a blanked in order to prevent her from catching a cold; the girl watched him with a cute, shy and moved expression, finally telling him that he wasn't that much of a creep.

One afternoon, Nagatoro tickled Senpai in order to prove her assumption that he was sensitive, due to the fact that he was a virgin. After she did it the boy proved to be as ticklish as she expected, however afterward Senpai asked about her, prompting the girl to said she wasn't but stating he would never found that out as he was too shy to tickle a girl. After Senpai told her he could totally do it, feeling challenged, Nagatoro took off her shirt showing the top of her swimsuit and offering her armpit to him. However, as Senpai got close to it with her hand, Nagatoro freaked out, covered both of her armpits and started to make up excuses in order not to be tickled. Later, the girl shown a video of a sheep getting shorn. Then, looking at Senpai's hair Nagatoro noticed that they got pretty long and sarcastically asked him how long it has been since the last time he got shorn, then offering to give him an haircut. Although Senpai was skeptical, Nagatoro swore that she was really good in cutting hair and that sometimes she also cut her big brother's hair at home. Before starting however she got a call from her friends to join them in their class so that Gamo-chan could gave her back her math notes; however this is revealed to be a mere trick of the girls and, while she was out of the art cub room, they went inside it in order to look at their friend's and Senpai's "love nest"; however after seeing Nagatoro's brother's razor, they decided to shave Senpai themselves and, right when he opposed them shouting that he promised to Nagatoro he would have his hair cut by her, the girl went back, causing her friends to run off. Moved by Senpai's statement, Nagatoro finally cut his hair and the two shared a sweet moment as he thanked her.

Later that day, while walking back home, due to the heat, Nagatoro suggested taking shaved ice, however the hidden store she knew was "discovered by the world" after having been featured on TV the previous day and has a massive crowd of people lined in front of it. Nagatoro stubbornly decided they would have waited their turn in line, prompting Senpai to shield her from people who ogled her as her shirt turn transparent and later dragging her away as she was on the verge of an heat stroke. Then he bought her some water from a vending machine, impressing and deeply moving her, which led her to dismiss the idea of waiting in line for the shaved ice cream and instead buy some convenience store ice cream just like Senpai previously told her to do. Nagatoro also composed an haiku to celebrate the moment and offered an embarrassed Senpai to feed him.

Later, as they were walking home, she asked Senpai to drink from his bottle of green tea and, knowing the summer break was about to start, to exchange mail contacts. Nagatoro was overjoyed after the boy accepted and, when he told her there was nothing special in having his line ID, she sweeten up and tenderly saying that she believed otherwise. Not wanting to get too emotional, Nagatoro added that from that point on she would have sent him a cat-sticker every time she "sensed" he was thinking about something lewd. After they parted ways, Senpai prepared to drink from his tea bottle but hesitated remembering that it would have been an indirect kiss. In that moment he received a cat-sticker from Nagatoro and, turning, found that the girl was looking at him. Smiling, she jokingly called him a "pervert".
