- Watamote Special Chapter
- p1
- >>Special chapter celebrating 15 years of GanGan Online!!
- >Where are you going?
- >Just for a walk around the area.
- >Kuroki Tomoko (32)
- >This place went out of business, huh...
- p2
- >You really came back.
- >Ah, yeah. The rents over in Tokyo are way too high
- >and I can just work from home.
- >Wasn't your short novel axed?
- >I'm doing part-time work while working on my next piece.
- >What kind of part-time work?
- >I listen to celebrities on radio shows, pick out things that they say,
- >and write web articles about them while they're hot. It's the kind of job all NEETs long for.
- >Sounds easy and fun.
- >What's your job again, Yuri-chan?
- >I'm working at the library.
- >Ah, that's the one. I'm just lazing around so I'll come visit.
- >That's fine. There's not much I need to do anyway.
- p3
- >By the way, is it true that Yoshida-san got arrested?
- >Yeah.
- >I don't really get it, but she was apparently found guilty of selling veggies through some kind of app...
- >By veggies, you mean "those" kinds of veggies...?
- >Mako came up with all sorts of plans for Yoshida-san's sake,
- >but the weight on her consciense proved to be too much for her and she turned herself in, leading to Yoshida-san's arrest too.
- >>Two women in their thirties arrested.
- >>Cultivation and sale of cannabis.
- >>Suspect Tanaka Mako
- >>Suspect Yoshida Masaki
- >I see...
- >I'm gonna go visit them next time. Wanna come with, Tomoko?
- >Sure...
- >Ah! Hey~
- >Ah...
- >Nemo.
- p4
- >You're wearing that when you're over thirty?
- >I'm a celebrity, unlike you two.
- >Do out of work voice actresses count as celebrities?
- >Hey, I'm getting plenty of work, thank you very much.
- >That's not work under the name Nemoto Hina, but rather eroge and doujin work under the name N.E.M.O, isn't?
- >You showed so much potential when you appeared in a late night anime...
- >but every anime you've appeared in since has bombed.
- >That's nothing compared to your novels getting axed twice in a row, Kuro...
- >Huuuh!?
- >As fellow obscurities who pay little in taxes, you two should get along with each other.
- >Subtle as you try to be, you're clearly trying to stir us up.
- >Wait, so you're back home too, Nemo?
- >Came back last year.
- >I can just travel to Tokyo if I have work.
- >Where are you guys heading in the middle of a weekday?
- >There's somewhere I wanted to stop by.
- p5
- >It's the high school.
- >Haven't been here in over ten years.
- >The gate's open a little.
- >Let's sneak in for a bit.
- >Are you sure?
- >It's a weekday. Won't they be taking lessons?
- p6
- >Taking lessons, huh.
- >We used to be taking them right there...
- >Back then, I didn't want to go to school, but now I find myself wanting to go back a little.
- >It's not like things are going well these days and everyone's living happy lives or anything.
- >Komi-san died in that traffic accident, after all.
- >Naruse-san and Katou-san got married, though.
- >Even so, it feels sad that they've started going down different paths.
- >We may look like adults age-wise, but our minds are still that of high schoolers...
- >As a kid, I dreamed about what the future would be like,
- >but now I'm an adult, it feels like life's just heading towards the end...
- p7
- >It hasn't even begun yet.
- >Eh!?
- >What's this all of a sudden?
- >A line from a movie.
- >It just felt like the right time to say it so I did.
- >If your appearance has changed but what's inside hasn't, then you can just begin again
- >just like back in high school.
- >Begin what?
- >We have infinitely more time to figure that out than we did during high school.
- >Mako and Yoshida-san will be released in six months too, so we'll all be together again.
- >I'm not beginning a life of crime.
- >Ah!?
- >Asuka!?
- >Long time no see, you three.
- p8
- >How'd you know we were in the school...?
- >Nemoto-san contacted me.
- >You never did keep in touch all that much, Tomo-chan.
- >Well, you got married and all, so I felt like I shouldn't bother you like I did back in the day...
- >Well, I'm divorced now, so you don't have to worry about that anymore.
- >Eh!?
- >Eh!?
- >Since when?
- >Why!?
- >Half a year ago, I guess. We were both too busy with our jobs.
- >Is there anywhere you'd like to go?
- >Anywhere is fine,
- >if it's the four of us.
- >Then let's try going some place that's a little further away.
- >To the car in front, please stop immediately.
- >I don't think I was breaking any laws...
- p9
- >You're in violation of the law for exceeding the gross limit for passengers.
- >What kind of crime is that!?
- >Hey, can we stop for a moment?
- >We were having a realistic discussion about what things might be like 15 years down the line before you cut in and made things unrealistic, Uchi-san.
- >It was taking forever for me to show up.
- >Yuri, just what do you think of me?
- >Why was I
- >killed off just like that?
- >I was being realistic...
- >Or rather, why'd you start talking about 15 years into the future all of a sudden?
- >Just ten years is fine, right?
- >It just felt appropriate.
