I Want to Make My Colleague Who Ticks Me Off Look My Way

p1
>Tsutsuhara Emi.
>A disgusting woman.

>Sasai Kazuna
>She treats everyone kindly
>and makes this face like she's a good person.
>How shameless...

>It's so obvious she's desperately trying to get everyone to like her.
>Some girls have already fallen for her act and are following her around.
>Just looking at it pisses me off.

>Hey, Kazuna.
>Aren't you staring at Tsutsuhara-san a bit too much?
>Eh?

p2
>She's great, isn't she?
>She's cool, refined, kind and a good talker.
>What's great about that? She's the type I hate the most.

>Hmm...
>What?

>I hear that Tsutsuhara-san like girls.
>!

>You're cute, Kazuna,
>so you may have a chance yet~
>Wha-
>I just said I hate her!
>Whaddaya mean a chance!?
>That makes no sense!

>Geez...
>What a joke.
>Who'd fall for that hypocrite...

>>Kitchenette

p3
>Sasai-san.

>You dropped your pen.
>Here.
>This is yours, right?
>Tsutsuhara...!

>...

>You're welcome, by the way.
>Nobody asked you to pick it up!
>Don't patronize me!

p4
>What's got you so irritated?
>Did something happen?
>...

>If you're worried about something,
>I can hear you out.

>Say, Tsutsuhara-san.
>Are you a lesbian?

>You like girls, right?
>Do you look at everyone with dubious eyes?
>Possibly me too?
>Is that why you approached me?

>Give it up?
>Being with a girl is impossible for me...

>...

p5
>Do you really think you're that charming, Sasai-san?
>Bit full of it, don't you think?
>Huh?

>I have the right to decide, y'know?
>You're not gonna catch my heart like that.

>I know. You hate me, don't you?
>I don't know if you're trying to hurt me or whatever,
>but considering you're not even my type,
>you're the one who should give it up.
>That's all I gotta say.

>If you want me to be your partner,
>you'd better start improving yourself.
>What...
>was that...?

p6
>I'm pissed!
>Pissed! Pissed! Pissed!
>What's with!!
>That woman!?

>I can't catch her heart?
>She doesn't know a thing about me!
>Who does she think she is!?

>Then just make her fall for you.

>!?
>You don't want her to have the last laugh, right?
>If you want her to look your way, then make yourself cuter.
>All you gotta do is charm her
>until she wants a relationship with you.

>I see! And the moment she confesses,
>I'll flat out reject her!
>Nice idea!
>Well...
>you don't have to reject her, y'know?

p7
>Now that's decided...

>I'll make myself more fashionable than usual

>to catch her interest...

>Why are you loitering around, Sasai-san?
>It's distracting.
>...

>I tried going out of my comfort zone and being more cheerful,
>but it looks like that's not Tsutsuhara's type...
>Should I try a more sexy approach...?

p8
>That's a short skirt.

>Tsutsuhara...
>Good morning...
>Good morning.

>I'm wearing this embarrassing outfit for you...
>At least show some reaction.

>I'll need to be more proactive and talk to her to force her to take notice.
>Nice weather today, isn't it, Tsutsuhara.
>It's raining today, Sasai-san...

>Tsutsuhara, want a coffee?
>No... I'm drinking one right now...

>It's no good... I can't hold a conversation with her...
>I need to research some topics that'll catch Tsutsuhara's interest...

p9
>No matter how much I talk to her, the distance between us isn't getting any closer.

>The more things don't go well, the more time I spend thinking about Tsutsuhara.
>Her total lack of interest makes my heart feel really anxious...

>I'm jealous of her followers...
>She'd never make that face... around me.

>How am I supposed to make her smile like that?
>I want her to smile at me too...

>Even though this is all to trick Tsutsuhara...
>Hah...
>she's all I can think about lately...
.It's like I'm really in love with her...

>...

p10
>You want to go home together?
>Why so suddenly...?

>I need...
>to speak with you...

>So?
>What is it?

>...

>I want to apologise.
>Apologise?

p11
>For the other day...
>when I said two girls was impossible...
>and made fun of you...
>Ah.

>I might have been a bit biased...
>Everyone seems to like you, after all...
>That's not true.

>I've got a terrible personality... so lots of people hate me...
>That's why I was jealous of you.

>I didn't truly mean...
>what I said...
>I'm sorry...

>I can't believe you're apologising...
>You're a surprisingly good girl.

>I'm sorry for being so harsh with you too.
>Don't apologise, Tsutsuhara.
>It wasn't your fault...

p12
>I wanted to get even with you.
>Eh?
>For what?

>For saying I couldn't catch your heart.
>Oh yeah, I did say that.
>That's why

>I tried to get you to fall for me.
>Ah, so that's why you've been awkwardly trying to talk to me lately.
>But you wouldn't talk back to me...
>That's because I thought you hated me.

>...Take interest.
>Eh?

>Take interest in me!
>I've been trying my best, y'know!
>I put on clothes I'm not used to and looked up topics that you'd probably like...
>so can't you at least fall in love with me a little?

p13
>!

>The heck...?
>You're sounding like you're the one in love, Sasai-san.

>Don't tell me you were trying to get payback but actually fell in love with me instead?

>Wait, seriously...?

>That expression really made my heart pound.

p14
>Confess.
>Huh?

>Tell me your feelings right her...
>I can't respond to you otherwise, can I?
>Uuh...

>Tsutsuhara...
>I... like you...

>Sasai-san.
>Even thought you're so serious at the office...
>you can make such a cute voice...
>Made my heart pound.
>Shut up!

>Wanna go out then?
>!

>A-Are you sure?
>You've really taken my interest,
>and I like you better now that you've apologised.

>I'm feeling hungry, so how about we get something to eat
>for our first date?
>Ah... Sure... I think... I'd like that.

>The End
