Watamote ch188: Since I'm Not Popular, It's All About Her

p1
>I'm kinda jealous...

p2
>I should've sat at the back...

>Last week
>...It's no good! No matter how much I try to put some distance between Minami-san and Yuri,
>mine and Yoshida-san's seats end up being...
>...Mako.

>You seem to be having trouble with this, so I'm fine with sitting in the back.
>Eh...!?

>Yuri, who is usually selfish and does whatever she pleases, is holding back for my sake...!?

>Minami-san! I've picked out a seat for you. This should do, right?
>Eh~...

p3
>But that's pretty far up front, isn't it? I'd rather sit further back...

>Minami-san! If even Yuri can put up with it, so can you!
>What are you so upset about? I don't get it.
>"Even"...!?

>I can't believe Makocchi of all people got upset with me!!
>I don't really get it, but she seems awfully close with that delinquent!
>Wake up, Yoshida-san. The teacher's coming over here next.
>Hm...!? R-Right...

>Well, I've got Futaki in front of me, so it's fine...

p4
>Wanna eat outside today?
>Eh? Sure, but what about Koharu-chan?
>Isn't she coming over today?
>We didn't make any plans, so it doesn't matter, I guess?
>Koharu-chan went home by herself the other day, after all.

>Ah, but I do kinda wanna see how she acts when she comes over to our class.
>Sachi~
>Nori~

>Hey, Maki, if Koharu-chan comes here, take a video of how she reacts.
>You're eating with your boyfriend today, right?
>Eh~ Such a pain~

>Eh~ Haven't you been a bit of a buzzkill lately, Maki?
>I guess you don't care about us now that you've got a boyfriend, huh~
>We're so lonely~
>Ahahaha
>Just kidding. I'll do it. Sorry.

>You getting drinks?
>I can go.
>It's fine. You can let us take care of errands once in a while.
>Besides, you always go too far and make too many stops when you go by yourself, Ucchi.

>>All Fruits

p5
>Have they always had such terrible personalities?
>Ah, you mean Sacchan and co?
>I didn't really talk with them much during the second year so I wouldn't know.

>They are how I imagined the girls in Minami-chan's group to be, though.
>I suppose. When you put it that way, Minami-chan is also kinda... y'know...

>Hey, you're not going to the gymnasium!?
>I wanna work on my legs today, so I'm gonna use some equipment from the club building.

>Fu...!

>>Today
>Did Koharu-chan come? - Read 2
>She's not coming - Read 2
>I think - Read 2

>Lame.

p6
>>Study Room

>Isn't it a bit early for the study room to be closed?
>Looks like it's just for this week.

>We should've gone straight to Sa*zeriya or St*rbucks first.
>I mean, I'd be fine with that, but then Koharu-chan would ditch us again...
>You're still hung up about that? I said I was sorry~

>By the way, what did you do for lunch?
>Ah, well, I had a thing with someone in my class...
>Were you perhaps waiting for me?
>Not really.

>Alright, let's go to St*rbucks today~
>I just need to fetch my textbooks from the classroom. Wait by the entrance, okay?
>Okay. We'll wait. We're not you after all, Koharu-chan.
>I said I was sorry!
>Just drop it already...

>Erm, for this year's
>put on a movie...
>The plot would be...

p7
>Hm?

>What's wrong?
>Well, I saw someone passing by...

p8
>Seriously!? A freakin' kokushi!!?
>You were so obvious.
>I didn't think she was only one tile away!!

>Next one!! Wait, you got third ranked again, Shiki!?
>Those girls are here again~
>How nice that they don't care about their entrance exams~
>...It's that girl from the other day...
>Futaki... So she's friends with that lot too.

>Hey, Koharu-chan. The other day, one of the girls in there...
>Yeah... She was with that loner... Kuroki! The one in your class right now.

>She was spotted by Yoshida during the second year and still acts like her gofer to this day. I feel sorry for her~
>...

p9
>Nori probably doesn't know, but knowing Kuroki as she is now...
>it's not that kind of relationship. They might actually be friends...

>That kinda ticks me off, though...
>so I don't really feel like going out of my way to explain that to these guys.
>Are you okay, Koharu-chan? You're not being bullied, are you?
>If you're being bullied, be sure to tell us or a teacher~
>Ahaha

>Erm... I thought... we could make a movie...
>As for... erm... what kind of movie...

>...So annoying.

>My, erm, concept is...
>...So this is what they were doing in the classroom yesterday...

p10
>Okay, let's count the votes... First off, the musical.
>Erm, 1, 2, 3...
>Hey.

>Are you going to the arcade today?
>Yeah.
>Did you make plans with someone?
>Nope.
>Hmm...

>Hold on a sec.
>>Today
>I've got something going on today, so go home without me.

>Ah, Futaki-san.

p11
>What's this? Are you friends with those guys?
>They're my arcade buddies.

>I've been in the same class as some of those guys...
>but they were all...
>?

>It's nothing. I'm going home.
>Those guys probably remember all the bad stuff I said about them back then.
>Don't worry.

>There's plenty of badmouthing and flaming in the gaming world.
>Gamers won't be bothered by a little badmouthing.
>No, you're not making any sense.
>I don't wanna be friends with those weaklings...

p12
>So weak!

>N-No, I-I'm not weak!
>Futaki-san is just that strong...
>Huh?
>What did you say? I didn't quite catch that.

>No... You're just making it creepier...
>What are you blatantly averting your eyes for?

>Given that you're all circled behind her, I bet you'd just be peeking at her panties if I weren't around, right? Gross.
>W-We're not peeking!

p13
>So you're otakus, you suck at games and you're closet perverts. You're totally trash.
>I-I said we weren't peeking! That's going too far!

>Everyone's not as bad as you say they are.
>They're just not getting any better.
>I haven't been to the arcade in a while, so cut me some slack...

>There you are, Koharu-chan!
>It's just like you said, Sachi. Actually, don't you like Koharu-chan a bit too much?

>What's all this? You seem to be having a lot of fun with everyone, you normie.
>Khkhkh
>Yeah~ The three of us were so lonely studying by ourselves.
>No, it's not what you think it is.

p14
>Koharu-chan.
>Ah...

>We're leaving, but are you coming with?
>I don't really mind if you wanna stick around with those creeps, though.

>Hey, isn't she going a bit too far? Hilarious.
>Yeah. I don't mind it, though. Sounds fun.
>So annoying...

>Huh? Did you just say something?
>Hurry it up.
>Ah, yeah, I'm coming.

>I'm a creep?
>No, I think it was just the boys she was saying that to.
