Shinobu Management Stories
NOTE: Management stories take place in early !-era spring, so they're a good gauge for relationships pre-development.
with Makoto
(Nnh. It feels like the second year's floor has such a dignified atmosphere. I’ve only just changed one floor, how is it so different?)
(I can only hope I manage to conceal my presence until I reach Isara-dono's classroom…)
Huh? Shinobu-kun! What's the matter? Did you have business in the second-year classroom?
Y-Yuuki-dono!? Hold on, I was spotted almost immediately…!?
Ah, could it be that? You were training to walk without detection?
Well, there’s no wonder you’ve become a bit of a celebrity around here. I heard people say there’s a kid training as a ninja in our school, y’see~♪
Huh!? D-Do I really stand out that much?
Mhm, mhm. There aren't many kids who aspire to be ninjas, much less train like one.
Eeep, spare me~! I'm not doing this to stand out at all… Or rather, I don't want to stand out!
Is that so? See, I was thinking of proposing a segment like “Blitz☆Yumenosaki Academy's Celebrities” for the next noon broadcast.
So I was hoping to ask you if you wanted to do an interview as well, y’know?
I-If that happens, I'll definitely disappear off the face of the earth for a while?
with Mao
Isara-dono~☆ Look, look, the shuriken I ordered online came in!
When I saw they ran out, I came to terms with it and abandoned all hope — But when I checked the site just the other day, it was back in stock!
I used up my allowance on it because I had to get it right away.
Thanks to that, I’ll have to rely on hyorogan to make it through the month, but… I have no regrets! If anything, getting to see the real thing puts my excitement through the roof~♪
Ah, yeah, I get that you’re thrilled, but could I ask you to get off my stomach?
The pressure’s been hurting for a while. You jumped on me so suddenly, so I wasn’t able to brace myself.
Uwaa, are you hurt? I was so happy to get my shuriken and see Isara-dono, I lost my composure.
That sort of trait isn’t very ninja-like, is it? Anyway, don’t you always have a shuriken on you?
My rubber shuriken? Of course, I have tons of them~
This time, I ordered a replica of a shuriken said to have been used by Hattori Hanzo.
What? That sounds a little shady… Are you okay, Sengoku? You’re not being swindled, are you?
Ahaha, I’m alright. If it said it were real, even I’d know it was a scam.
I’ll love anything that has to do with ninjas, replica or not~♪
with Midori
Midori-kuu~n! I found what you were looking for! Just to be sure, could you check that it’s the right one?
Yeah… I’m sure this is the one… Thanks for helping me out, Sengoku-kun…
No need to thank me, it was a help to me that you gave me this mission.
There was nothing to do for RYUSEITAI today, so frankly my schedule was pretty open…
Finding things is my specialty. If you ever need my help again, call out for me without hesitation~♪
But, what kind of basketball practice were you having that sent the basketball flying all the way to a place like this?
That’s what I’d like to know... I was told that we’d have practice at the basketball court today, so I came over knowing it was gonna be a pain…
Then Morisawa-senpai said that he launched the basketball or something…? This isn’t soccer, for crying out loud…
Ahaha… At any rate, I’m glad we found it.
… Hm? Isara-dono’s messaging me? Heheh, it seems I’ve been given another mission to carry out!
Excuse me, but I have to take my leave now! See you tomorrow, Midori-kun!
with Nazuna
There~...♪ Like~ that...♪
Oh, Nito-dono? By any chance, is the tennis club in the middle of practice?
Ghh?! Shinobun, don’t come into the tennis court outta nowhere. I almost hit you with the ball by mistake.
M-My apologies! When I saw Nito-dono, I just couldn’t help but barge in!
I seem to be in your way, so I’ll make my exit.
Nah, I’m just practicing on my own, so you’re not bothering me. Anyway, what were you up to, Shinobun?
I was looking around for a good ninja spot. If you find a place like that, please let me know~♪
Ahaha, a “ninja spot”? Mm, got it. I’ll contact you when I do, Shinobun.
Thank you~! I don’t know if you would consider this repayment, but… If you ever need a ninja, please seek me out~♪
Mnn…~ Is it fine if I don’t need a ninja? I feel lonely practicing alone, so if it’s okay, I'd like you to keep me company.
Of course, as long as it's okay that it’s me! The Ninja Association conducts solitary activities too, so I don’t have much to do at the moment.
Ehehe, it looks like we'll have fun doing club activities today~♪
with Yuuta
Let’s see, we’ve got class duty together today, right? Thanks for having me, Sengoku-kun~♪
A-And to you as well
Ahaha, we’re classmates, so you don’t have to be so nervous~
Fweh? Err, umm…~?
Well, I’m gonna write in the daily log, so could you erase the blackboard?
Y-Yessir! I'll make it quick~!
(Uuu~… I’m making Aoi-kun worry about me. I’m sorry for being so shy.)
(At any rate, I must get the job done properly! I'll clean the blackboard and make it as good as new!)
Take that! And thaaaaaat… ouch?!
A-Are you okay? You’re not hurt, are you?
Don’t worry! I just slipped and fell! I’d rather you focus on the daily log, Aoi-kun!
You say that, but hearing someone go “Take that!” is gonna concern me whether you mean to or not.
Mm, I know a way to erase the board without having to jump around. If you’d like, I can show you how?
Eh? But wouldn’t it be a bother…?
We're on the same class duty shift, so we’ll finish up faster if we help each other out. You’re not gonna be a bother at all
Aoi-kun… W-Well then, please do. Ehehe, I'm glad that Aoi-kun’s on duty with me today~♪
with Souma
Take that…☆
Hm…? Is that you there, Sengoku? Are you playing around with a bug net?
Oh, Kanzaki-dono! I wouldn’t call it playing around! I’m in the midst of catching frog food!
I see, come to think of it, you look after frogs, don’t you?
Indeed I do! I'm glad that you remember what I said before~♪1
Momocchi and Thunder require lots of food every day, so today’s yet another day I'm busy catching insects.
Is that so? If that’s the case, I’ll help you.
Eh, are you sure? You’d be seriously saving me~!
After all, you can hone in on moving objects so well that you can even catch flies with chopsticks!
I bet you can catch tons of insects, even with the butterfly net, Kanzaki-dono~!
Heheh, you have such sparkling eyes. That expectation for me makes me happy, and it urges me to respond in full.
Mm… Sengoku, stay still… Take that!
Oh! There are bugs in the net!
No way, that’s amazing! I didn't even realize there was a bug on my head!
As expected of Kanzaki-dono, you’re seriously the coolest ever…☆
I feel quite bashful being praised so earnestly like that. Sengoku, do you still need more insects?
Yes, I want to catch lots and lots! If you have the time, I’d like your assistance just a little longer, Kanzaki-dono~!
I don’t have any particular matter to attend to after this, so I’ll keep you company until you’re satisfied.
Wow, I'm so grateful~! Momocchi and Thunder will get to eat to their heart’s content, kyahoo~☆
