This one's really cute and sweet! I like Mamori's quiet recognition of what she's feeling towards Hiruma. Was it admiration? Like? Perhaps now she wouldn't be so opposed to the idea of them together? Though that would still be far off ...

What? I read this again and just realized this. Was this a sort of confession? Hahaha! Or maybe this was shortly after they have just been together?

I read this again but today hahaha
Because this is one of the pieces that really captured the Hirumamo feels as it is in canon?
I just realized how Hiruma always deflect Mamori's gentle confrontational advices/worrying over him. But then he recognizes that she's saying something that hits him but dismisses it as gabbing/mumbling. Haha But then hides his acceptance of what she is saying with a deal. Hahaha Hiruma! XD You must know you can be honest with Mamori.

Many things changed but not how they feel for each other. :3 Though I still go for my head canon that they would not lose contact despite their distance because isn't it obvious? XD

This is really nicely written! From how it started at the beginning to the time he admitted to himself he fell IN LOVE. It's also really smart that it is indeed a side that is not shown to the world but only to the recipient of his feelings. Though we'll still see the unconcealable glimpses of it.

Hahahaha! Those moments when a man can't say a thing because he was just captivated. Yep. CAPTIVATED.
HAHAHAHAHA!

Huahuahua Sweet~ xD And of course, we know who loves her for who she is, weaknesses and all. So much that he knows just what to give her.
That was really vulnerable of Mamori to say that. And to admit that to Hiruma who is a man (like will a man understand as much as a fellow woman would? Haha), just shows how close they are to each other and how strong their bond is. Weeeehihihi~

I like this very much! The maturity is really there and yet they are still on character. It's so refreshing to read this! And that they don't have the unnecessary drama that is totally avoidable when they think and talk through things well. And Hiruma trying to encourage Mamori is really sweet of him haha and more when he wanted to teach her how to use a computer. He really is willing to put work through so that they will make it. Aaahh~

She stopped asking because she figured out it was him?
How cute and sweet of Hiruma to give those to Mamori. You know he thought about it and wouldn't want to give her any lesser gift. Ayie~

Whut! Awake for more than 48 hours?! O.O Well, Mamori's there anyway to take care of him. I wonder how their meeting with his father will go. :3

How sweet of him to comfort her by holding her hand all the way back. :D A small gesture that makes a difference nevertheless, and really shows his affection.

What a cute encounter between them~

Oh, the president of the Hirumamo fanclub! XD

Ah~ Did they just had a date? Ah! The same feels when they were at the classroom is so in here! It feels like this could really be a part of canon! It's really cute, though. Not having romance as the main reason to spend time at the festival with just the two of them but friendship. Though something is definitely blooming in each one of them for each other.
Curious as to how she got him to go with the festival with her. It really inks to their closeness if Mamori can get Hiruma to do this.
And Hiruma's training during their third year? Could that be why all the more Mamori wanted to go with him to Saikyoudai? Seeing just how much he pushes himself? Her mothering instincts definitely got a new recipient then. Hahaha! But it's different because she's more of letting him have his dangerous way instead of caging him with sure safety all the time. I'm ranting. This piece is really, really good!

It is alwaysfunny to tease the fandom like this
