After Band Practice

NonokaNo!

MiyakoNo—

NonokaNo!

MiyakoNo—

Nonoka-chan!

Miyakoka-san.

NonokaC'mooooon!

NonokaNot "Nonoka-san"! Yes, "Nono-chan"!!

MiyakoSurely I can call you whatever I like.

NonokaWell, sure, but why?!

NonokaAhem... Once upon a time, there lived a girl named Miyako-chan who called Nono-chan "Miyanaga-san."

NonokaNono-chan thought she was doomed to spend the rest of her life as "Miyanaga-san"... But then, one fateful day, Miyako-chan said...

Nonoka"Nonoka-san"...!

MiyakoThat's right.

NonokaNono-chan's heart lit up, and she dared to dream that being called "Nono-chan" might be next.

NonokaBut no! It's been "Nonoka-san" ever since!

MiyakoIs there some problem with that?

NonokaYes, there is! If first names are okay, nicknames should be too!

MiyakoNo. I only switched because "Nonoka" is easier to say than "Miyanaga."

MiyakoThere was no deeper meaning behind it.

NonokaMmm...

NonokaVery well. In that case...!

Miyako(She's pushing up glasses she isn't even wearing...)

NonokaMicchan!

NonokaYako-chan!

NonokaMya-chan!!

NonokaBehold! Nono-chan's nickname barrage! You're thrilled, right~?

Miyako...

NonokaWait! No reaction from Miyako-chan...!? But why...?

Maru-kunI'll tell you why!

NonokaMaru-kun!

Maru-kunThe truth is, Miyako's never had anyone call her by a nickname before!

Maru-kunSo it's not even about whether she's happy, she doesn't even know what to make of it yet!

Nonoka!!

NonokaI-I lose...

MiyakoSo... there you have it. Excuse me.

NonokaMiyako-chaaaaaan...!

Miyako(Hmph... It's no big deal. I'm sure there are plenty of people who've never been called by a nickname.)

MiyakoHuh...? Why is it raining in here...?
