Watamote ch222-2: Since I'm Not Popular, It's a Live Concert (Part 2)

p1
>I wonder where everyone disappeared to.

>Over there.
>Ah.
>They're all here.

>But they're not looking at the stage.

>My little bro has become a spectacle yet again.

>Mako!!

p2
>What are you doing here, Mako? Some kind of betraya-...
>Ah!?

>Yuri, were you about to say "betrayal" as the first thing that came out of your mouth?
>I didn't say that...
>Tamura-san~ I've missed you~
>Eh? Ah... Same here...

>There's a good mood going on between Tomoki and Yoshida-san right now, so everyone's watching. Right?
>Really now?
>Yeah. I hope things go well for them.
>Eh?
>Ah, yeah, I guess.

>I feel sorry for the other girls,
>but Yoshida-san's kind and gets along well with Tomoko too, so those two dating would be the best option.

>...I guess.
>...I suppose.
>...Sure.

>But, erm...
>I'm Sayaka.
>I think you'd go surprisingly well with Tomoki yourself, Sayaka-chan.

p3
>Eh!? That's not true at all!!
>Akari and the other senpais are way cuter than someone like me.
>Yep.

>From my point of view, Sayaka-san, I think Tomoko's little brother hates you.
>He's been looking down in the dumps ever since you kissed him on stage.

>She's crying... Just how annoying is this brat...?
>You okay? She didn't have to go that far~
>Is this girl a quieter version of Sayaka or something?

>Actually, Tamura-san, you've slept over at Tomoki's house, right? I don't suppose you're just pretending to root for Yoshida-san so you can...
>take him for yourself, are you?
>Eh!?

p4
>Yuri's giving me a "help me" look...

>I'd help if I could...
>but Mima-san knows fully well that Yuri didn't sleep over because she was aiming for Tomoki-kun...

>She's probably just messing with her, so it's better not to make any clumsy reactions.
>Mako's giving me a "do something about it yourself" look!!

>I think she was probably just sleeping over with Tomoki-kun's sister, but...
>Are you close with Tomoki-kun?
>Eh... Ah... Close enough to talk about acting, I guess...
>I don't know what she's talking about.... Is she the same kind as [Komi head]Senpai?

>I did stay over, but I just slept in Tomoko's room, and while we did eat dinner together,
>the only interaction we even had was when he passed me some powdered cheese.

p5
>Powdered cheese!

>I was just poking some fun, but I didn't expect she was hit back with a brag about powdered cheese.
>This girl is really kind... just like Akari.
>She's different from the others until now. It's like I could see how naturally close they are... This person really is...

>Hmm...
>Cheering your friend on must leave you with mixed feelings, huh?

>There's traitors all over the place!!

p6
>Ah!? Glasses-cha-...

>Hah Hah Hah
>Ah!

>Glasses-chan is really gunning for it. Did something happen?
>Hah Hah
>Ah...

>Hah...
>Hah...
>In the courtyard... Hah...
>Something...
>Hah
>Hmm?

p7
>...For some reason,

>a bunch of familiar faces have showed up out of nowhere...
>...

>...Tch.

>Should we go elsewhere?
>It's fine. I'm used to being a spectacle.

>Got any other ideas?
>They're already noticed us, so not likely.
>Well, these things happen.

p8
>This is my chance to play the type of girl that cheers on a boy and girl's romance...
>I'll quietly snicker at them to make them conscious of their relationship,
>>snicker snicker
>do a little lewd teasing,
>!!?
>and then, when the timing's just right, I'll give them some alone time.
>Ah, I just remembered I had something to do.

>Ah, Hina!

>I've got a bad feeling about this.
>Oh? What are you two up to?
>Huh? You've been watching from over there, haven't you?

p9
>Oh? Are you two perhaps...
>>snicker snicker

>Huh?
>The hell?
>You laughing at our faces or something?

>That's not the reaction I expected... And the other one's straight up ignoring me.

>OWOWOWOWOW!
>The hell were you doing?

>I was just trying to lift your skirt up...
>Don't screw with me. I'll kill you.
>I'm just doing this for you and Tomoki-kun and everyone's sake...
>You're dead...
>How does Kuro always manage to get away with this!?

p10
>Did the others tell you to come over here?
>Just leave.
>!?

>Telling me that just makes it even harder to leave!
>And I was planning on leaving you two alone when the timing was right too!!

>I've only ever seen anime and shoujo manga, so this is something I can't resolve!
>Yoshida-san's one thing, but Kuro's little bro is another...!! There's no characters I know of that would just keep ignoring everything!!

>...Tamura-san!?
>Why does she seem so happy!?

>Kuro too...!!
>What's that look supposed to mean!?
