A Home Date With Meme-chan and Her Stuffed Toys (
Summary[]
Rentarou has been invited by Meme to her home to watch a movie with her in her room, which he sees as extremely cute and smelling nice; however his compliments make her vanish to hide under a table, the girl embarrassed about someone looking around her room, making Rentarou believe he should keep his eyes closed the whole time even during the movie. Meme tells him not to and to sit next to her on a cushion, but vanishes again ending up under her bed out of fear of Rentarou sitting next to her, making him offer to pretend sit. With Meme nervous, she starts the movie only to vanish again into her closet, just having nerves of the two of them alone in her room, leading to the two sitting far apart instead.
Rentarou and Meme ultimately watch and enjoy the movie and start talking about it until Meme's closet opens, revealing a life-sized Rentarou doll inside! As Rentarou realizes what it is, Meme vanishes; ultimately taking 3000 pages of manga before Rentarou finds her shuddering in fear asking him to kill her like Kishika! Rentarou asks why and Meme states that no matter how much she loves him, it doesn't justify her knitting a life-sized stuffed toy version of him! But Rentarou states he's happy for her in taking das to knit something and putting all the effort into it, thus proving her love and believing any boyfriend would be happy to see it spelled out like this. As Rentarou asks what Meme uses it for, she states that she uses it to watch TV and sleep with, making Rentarou upset about how she's able to do it with a toy and not the real thing and wondering if he could be a stuffed toy! Meme worries about him entering into "obsessive boyfriend mode" due to this and decides on a compromise: having Rentarou briefly wear the doll like a costume since it is life sized with him able to see through the knitted mesh.
Testing it out, Meme returns to her room, knowing that she has to try to make real Rentarou feel like "stuffed Rentarou" so he doesn't try something crazy. She sits next to him before laying on his lap, making Rentarou freak out at how she looks; he wants to pat her head but he has to stay in character as a stuffed toy. Meme feels calm feeling like how she usually does with her toy and feels like she can handle it as she leaves the pillow's lap. She then sits in the pillow's lap with the arms around her waist as they watch TV; Rentarou feels the temptation to hug but holds himself back. She then lays with it on her bed as she checks her LINE messages on her cell phone before rolling into it's side, hugging it as Rentarou freaks out about how assertive she is with it, making him want to say he loves her until he ultimately does. She then starts kissing it as Rentarou keeps confessing his love for Meme within the doll and kissing her before she leaves Rentarou to leave the doll as she gets a drink.
As Meme leaves, Rentarou feels depressed about how he screwed up in reciprocating instead of acting like a doll and states he can't endure it every day just to make Meme happy but can't pity himself, ultimately thanking the doll by hugging it as "my other me". However, Meme sees it and wonders why Rentarou is hugging himself making a blushing face; leading to Meme having a rather stimulating dream that night and vanishing instantly upon seeing Rentarou the next morning.
