You've obviously just been fooled by her. She's nothing like that!

[ Something inside of her seems to twitch, as do her ears on her head. ]

I-I mean, it's not like she can't be cute when she wants to be, and she's actually pretty good with Pokemon. She spends a lot of her time at my house, so I should know.

[ There's a lot of information in there if Kotori looks for it, but Maki tries to pretend like she's indifferent to Nico, when it's obviously not the case.

Yaya is the one who answers for Maki, who can't think of how to explain that she thinks Kotori is cute herself. ]

Fletch fletch! [ You're very pretty Kotori! The prettiest! ]
