Summary
The first thought that sluggishly passes through the morning fog of Wise's brain is that he's glad that Manato finally relaxed and got comfortable. The second thought is that Manato must run warm, and Wise laughs internally at how fitting that is.
The third thought hits him like a brick as Manato's hot breath puffs against his back and sends a warm tingle through his body.

Summary
It has to, when your life has become this comedy of errors. It's not just your miserable wallet of coins or your situation, not exactly. Your morning had started off normally, a cup of orange juice and a couple of slices of toast as you looked over your bills and the latest news. Same old thing you did every morning, nothing fancy or complicated.
And it would have stayed that way if a Hollow hadn't consumed your entire street and left you homeless.
Thankfully, there's Komano Manato to save the day.

Manato likes Belle. A lot. Too bad it seems like everyone else has got it figured out, too.
Or is it really that bad?

Summary
“Is Wise special to you?” A-Cing pipes up.
“Y-Yes?” Manato quickly stuffs his mouth with a thin slice of char siu, as though taste-testing the meat. If his face gets red, it’s really the heat from the oven.
A-Yuet blinks huge, innocent eyes up at him. “The same way Uncle Wu cares for Uncle Zhang?”
Here, Manato nearly spits the barbeque pork out, catches himself, and swallows it down with a few fist-beats to the chest. “A-A-Yuet! Where did you– how did you–!”
Manato develops a crush on Wise, and doesn’t know how to handle it.
This is the B-side to Puppy Love, now told from Manato’s POV. While I tried to write it as stand-alone as I can, a lot of the events slot in between stuff happening in Puppy Love.

Summary
Spending weeks together venturing through the Hollows and helping others tends to be quite the bonding experience in New Eridu — at least, for a sweet Proxy and her endearing 'bodyguard.' But how could these shy individuals ever brave their hearts' wish? Well, it was up to the two adorable troublemakers to meet Belle — the blue-haired Proxy whom their Big Brother Manato had been ceaselessly talking about — and invite her over for movie night and dumplings... A surprise, but welcome excursion for both Belle and Manato alike.

*Spoiler: A-Yuet and A-Cing (Manato's siblings) were introduced in the 2.3 MSQ (as well as his character trailer), and it felt out-of-place meeting them later in the story... especially after all of the side/event quest and MSQ bonding time with our precious canine Thiren since 2.0!
