Watamote ch215: Since I'm Not Popular, The School Festival Begins

p1
>Okay.
>We're counting on you, Yuri-chan and Mako-san.
>Right.

>So we're really going with your first idea.
>That thing.
>Yeah. Even with editing, getting to an hour was impossible...

>Are you sure we don't need to tell everyone?
>Well, maybe just the guys who were here yesterday.
>I want that adlib vibe, after all.

>Ah, Hina. Kuroki.
>We need to head to the gymnasium.
>Okay, got it.

p2
>>Firefly Light Festival

>>Volunteer Bussers
>>Entrance here

>>Temple Fair

>It finally begins.

p3
>Eh...? We're showing our independent film to this many people?
>Should we swap it out for Tot*ro or C*mmando or something?
>People would enjoy those more, right?
>If we could do that, we'd be doing it every year.

>I feel like the ones starring in the film are more likely to take damage if this flops than you are.
>!?

>But well, it was kinda fun to be on camera,
>so what we filmed is good in its own way.
>Komiwotsit...
>She's right.

>I had fun too.
>I found the content to be surprisingly amusing too.
>Moving Nemo's bl*wjob scene to the director's cut edition was the right choice.
>There's no such thing.

p4
>Wah~
>Kya~
>Kya~

>Wah~
>Is it me... or is the hurdle to get everyone excited surprisingly high?
>Is this what the school festival from two years ago was like?
>This is way more exciting than the one from our first year.
>Wah~

p5
>Okay! And with that, the curtain has risen on the Firefly Light Festival.
>I'm Wakui Mitsuki, president of the festival committee.

>The festival that every student has been preparing for has finally begun. All that's left is to enjoy these next two days to the fullest!!

>Just strip already! That's what the last student council president did!!
>No she didn't.
>You're terrible. Cut that out.

>She's right! Take it off!
>Don't learn from her.
>Take it off~

>Coming up next, we've got the dance club, wind instrument club, a band performance and a movie! There's so much to look forward to~
>You're in the band, right?
>Shouldn't you get going?
>Oh yeah...

p6
>Hina, we'd better get ready on standby too.
>Right.

>Uwah. I'm getting really nervous!
>This is bad~

>Kuroki and Nemoto. Oh yeah, you've got the movie.

p7
>I'm gonna sit down for a bit.
>There's still plenty of time.

>This is bad! I'm getting really nervous!

>Wah~
>We're up next!
>Do your best.

>Yeah. I'm looking forward to your movie too.

>Oh crap... It'll be our turn once the band's finished.
>What do I do!?

p8
>She really does look cool when she's doing this.

>Only the top tier humans of this school are allowed to stand on that stage... Not d*ck cheese like me...
>Wait, I'm a girl, so it would be pus-... No, I should stop with the dirty jokes. At any rate, it's not a place for cheese like me to stand on.

>Um.
>About the movie...
>Could you go up by yourself, Nemo?
>Eh!?

>What are you saying!? This was your plan, wasn't it, Kuro?
>There's no point if only I do it!!
>No, going up on that stage to talk is just impossible for me...

p9
>Just thinking about what the mood'll be like if a gloomer nobody asked for
>went up on stage and suddenly started talking makes me shake so much that I can't stop.
>...

>Kuro, can you stand?
>Eh!?

>I guess I can techincally stand, but...

>!?

>My hands are shaking a little too, right?
>I'm really nervous too.

p10
>Do you remember our self-introductions at the start of the third year?
>We were really nervous and shakey back then too.

>It's because of the courage you showed me back then that we're able to stand up on a stage like this.
>Wah~
>Wah~
>Everyone's followed your idea this far, so it'll be okay!
>Believe in yourself.

>....What is this? It seems like she's saying something nice, but...
>it doesn't resonate with me at all!!
>Maybe it's cos it sounds so cliché?

>Also is it me, or is she getting off on her own words and this situation?

p11
>She's just using me as shl*ck fuel!
>>Taimanin Kuroki
>This'll do for today's Kuro...
>You're supposed to be calming my nerves, not giving yourself self-satisfaction!!

>If it was someone besides this debauched pink shl*cker...
>like Asuka, who I can rely on while she relies on me,
>>pat pat
>>grope grope
>or even Yuri-chan, who'd be as nervous as I am,
>that'd be way better!!

>Kya~
>Wah~
>Ah, looks like they're done.
>Geh!? Already!!?

>Let's go, Kuro.
>You and I can do it!
>Hey, are you still shl*cking at the final hour!? Just how many school festival clichés are you planning to get off on!?

p12
>Excuse us. We were planning to screen a film just now, but we've run into a little trouble.
>Ah...
>Erm...
>Th-That's right. In order to shoe... show the film
>we... we need the...
>data...

>It seems the one holding onto the data is currently outside the school.
>...
>Outside the school.
>Ah.
>Ah.
>Ah.
>W-We can show the film once the person with data gets here, s-s-s-so just wait a little longer...
>Hehehe...

p13
>Ah.
>S-Scratch that. The data was in my pocket all along.
>Eh!?

>Hey!? Eh!? What's going on...
>I-
>I'm gonna take it backstage, so just wait a moment.

>>murmur...
>What was that all about?
>No idea.
>Gross.
>What gives!? What are we supposed to do now!?
>Well, they weren't giving any reaction, so I figured they weren't biting...
>What about the time?
>The quicker version should be okay...

>She's not calling us.
>I think the pressure might've gotten to her.
