Unfortunately, there wasn't anybody in my class so I'm not really sure about how well this would go...

...Not that I can guarantee I'd be any more accurate about the people I can observe directly, obviously...

Anyway, this is more of a theory than anything--

C'mon, Koma-chan! Out with it! Match for Smoogs, pronto!

Uh--

You do have somebody picked out, riiiiight? You weren't just sayin' that because you got caught with your pants down?

Y-yes, I have a match I was considering...

Let's hear it! I'm assuming this means somebody from the other class? Not mine, not yours, the other one?

Yes. My class doesn't have any-- Well, I guess maybe... Sonia..?

As I was saying, my class doesn't really have any overt otaku-types. Since her talent is for cosplaying fictional characters, it makes sense she would bond the most with some type of fan-artist.

...

Since I don't know this individual personally, I'm not sure how varied their interests are? I know of one media property they're a devout fan of...

Anyway, that individual is Hifumi Yamada. Since Shirogane-san has her affinity for costumery and a very pronounced otaku streak, I'm sure she and Yamada-kun will have enough in common to bond. Maybe they could even work together to build up an impressive and unique hope, one only they could strike up with each other.

Nagito! That one doesn't help me at all!

Huh? Why not? Have you had difficulty with Yamada-kun?

...

Fiiiiine, I'll help. But I'm not happy about it!

Ouma-kun, what's going on? I don't understand.

...

You really do this for the love of the game, huh? Matching people up, that's like... The whole point for you?

Yes. Definitely.

Whatevs. Fine, I'll help. Matching up those dweebs won't give me any more leverage over either class, but it's fine.

I have court-ordered community service to do anyway - maybe this will qualify as volunteer work!

Thanks, Koma-chan! I'll expect you to come with and vouch for me when I go to claim this for my volunteer hours!

Of course, master!

Neeheehee~!

[ mod note: consider this the formal announcement that the official morgue ship for Smoogs and Hifumi is Shiromada XD!! This one was not a joke, that ship does seem like they would probably get along together. ]
