Eugh, you saw me!? But I was tailing you perfectly!

Ten Icon
Ten

Uh, you know it was obvious, right?

Akuta Icon
Akuta

Gah, guess I’ve got no other choice now… Time to launch an all-out head-first attack!

Ten-san! Please teach me your rizztastic techniques for this close-up, 24 hour special feature!

Rizztastic techniques…?

Akuta Icon
Akuta

I’m making a “Documentary of a Casanova,” with you as the subject, and it’s gonna win the Blacademy documentary feature film award—

At least, that’s what I plan on doing. But when it all pans out, I’m gonna need some tips on being popular, or else I won’t be able to chase the moon, let alone the stars…

Ten Icon
Ten

Riiight.

Akuta Icon
Akuta

I’m gonna put 100% of my heart and soul into putting mosaics on all the girls I get filmed with!! So please!! Gimme some good footage!! Just for 90 minutes!!

Ten Icon
Ten

I get it, but isn’t that kinda counterproductive?

Akuta Icon
Akuta

HUH!?

Ten Icon
Ten

If you show the world the secret of how to be a casanova, everyone will end up being popular, so you won’t be able to get ahead anymore, right?

Akuta Icon
Akuta

OH!!!! That’s true!!!!

Ten Icon
Ten

So let’s stop the camera.

Because I only want to teach you my secrets.

Akuta Icon
Akuta

Woah… The zero hesitation close-up rizz… We’re going off-scene now… Just a click to turn the camera off…

Ten Icon
Ten

Yup. Good. Let’s go have lunch.

Akuta Icon
Akuta

Wow… And now the smooth invitation rizz! The kind that makes you instinctively wanna say yes!

Ten Icon
Ten

There’s a hole-in-the-wall cafe nearby. Their crêpes are crazy popular with the ladies~. Wanna go grab some takeout?

Akuta Icon
Akuta

Y-Yeah! Time to digest some popularity!

Ten Icon
Ten

Gotcha. It’s my treat, so go ahead and wait on that bench.

Ten Icon
Ten

Sorry for the wait. Here, a crêpe with tons of fruit and cream and super special whipped cocoa.

Akuta Icon
Akuta

Time to dig in!

Oh man, that hits the spot! It tastes so sweet in my mouth…so sweet, it’s cracked!

Ten Icon
Ten

Really? That’s good.

Akuta Icon
Akuta

So! What’s next!? Teach me more!

Ten Icon
Ten

Impatient guys aren’t popular with the girls, you know~.

Akuta Icon
Akuta

Oh! I see.

Th-Then you can tell me whenever you’re ready.

Ten Icon
Ten

Mhm. Do you want seconds?

Akuta Icon
Akuta

Yeah!

Ten Icon
Ten

Alright, I’ll go get it, so just sit tight and wait there a bit. Got it?

......

Akuta Icon
Akuta

…He’s not back yet.

Maybe it’s crowded? It’s probably a super popular cafe, so I guess that makes sense, right?

Akuta Icon
Akuta

Standing in line for your girlfriend. This must be another trick up his sleeve~.

I hope Ten-san gets back soon~!

Akuta Icon
Akuta

…He’s not coming back.

...…

I WAS DUPED—!?

Akuta Icon
Akuta

No wait.

Is this another one of Ten-san’s tricks…?

That reminds me, there was a line in a movie I saw recently that was like, “Distance makes the heart grow fonder.”

I didn’t get it before, but the longer I sit here waiting, the more butterflies I get in my stomach… and the more I feel like I want to see him…!

I knew it, Ten-san’s cracked at this… I’m gonna make it my mission to document this rizzler’s smooth moves!

I’m gonna get up-close and personal next time, too!
