Watamote ch157: Since I'm Not Popular, I'm Suspended

p1
>The atmosphere seems quieter than usual without her...

p2
>I'm sure some of you already know this but

>Kuroki and Yoshida are currently suspended.
>It came to light from reports from the neighborhood that they rode a motor scooter from school, which is against school rules.

>The suspension will last a week
>but even if some of you are her friends, you are not to contact them via phone or whatever.

>And if anyone else is commuting to school using motor vechiles, I reccomend you stop it.

>That idiot was always up to no good ever since middle school...
>I better let Naruse-san know.

>You texting someone, Koto?
>Kuroki-san?
>Ah.
>Naruse-san is that girl's friend.

p3
>Yuri, Sensei just told us
>not to contact them.
>They're not responding via LINE. Chances are their phones have been confiscated too.

>Kuroki-san and Yoshida-san getting suspended together is something else.
>They were reading manga together yesterday.

>That's it! We should send those two some manga.
>They're not in prison.
>Kuro's suspended, huh...

>Kuro really isn't normal~ She's an idiot, but I kinda admire her...
>Why do you look so happy, Hina?

p4
>Where'd Ucchi go?
>Who knows? 3-5, perhaps?

>That's odd... It's the third period and Kuroki isn't here.

>Her shoes are in her locker.
>She shouldn't be home sick...

>And I was just about ready to apologise...
>Whatever, I'll just ask one of these girls I don't know.
>Do you know where Kuroki is?

>Who's this?
>Kuroki-san's been suspended.
>!!?

>Ah, Ucchi~
>Class is about to start...

>UCCHI!?

p5
>Ucchi? Why were you running?

>Uwaaaah!!
>Kurokiii!!
>Ucchi!!?

>Kuroki~~
>Ucchi...

>So Masaki really got suspended, huh?
>Apparently an old fart from the neighborhood caught her on film.
>Ah, no getting out of that one.


p6
>Kuroki, was it? She got suspended too, right?
>There second one
>Yeah.
>She got wrapped up in it...

>Kuroki's... suspended!?
>I thought she was just a plain girl, but I'm getting less and less of an idea of who she is...!

>Asuka.

>I heard that Kuroki-san girl was suspended.
>Heya~
>...That's right.

>What? Is that it?
>Eh!?
>N-No...

p7
>I was just curious since we were getting along while studying together.
>Yeah, that's right.

>...That day... your... um...
>Well... um...
>Asuka.. breasts...
>Eh?
>Speak up. I can't hear you.

>Did you let that Kuroki girl touch your breasts?

>...Sorry. I'm not in the mood to talk about that right now.
>And I don't think you should be talking about that kinda thing in public anyway.

>Gh!?
>You're the one who told her to grope your breasts right in front of us!!

p8
>Let's go home.
>Okay.
>But before that...

>>Counselling room

>She's in there, right?
>Probably.
>...Let's go.
>Yeah.

>See you tomorrow.
>Yeah.

>A week, huh...

p9
>Naruse-san, did you talk with Kuroki-san?
>Yeah. She seemed tired, but other than that she's fine.

>I'm sure getting suspended would be something she'd brag about.
>Fufu. I guess so.

>You said she was writing on a motor scooter with someone.. Was it that delinquent girl you mentioned before?
>Yeah.

>It's a good thing you didn't get suspended when you picked a fight with her in the cafeteria the other day, Koto.
>No, she just hit me even though I didn't do anything.
>...

>The next day

>And then, you know that Uchi person who used to be in our class?
>Yeah, Ucchi, right

>She was so mean, telling me not to come to 3-4 again.
>That plain-faced jerk was so rude. Comfort me, Makocchi.
>Yeah.
>But y'know, Ucchi may be weird, but she's not a bad girl...
>No.

p10
>But y'know, if those girls stay suspended, I can keep setting next to you, Makocchi.
>...

>C-Class is about to start so I better get back.
>Later, Makocchi.
>Yeah.

>Well, I can't say I'm surprised.
>She's still as annoying as ever, though.

>Still
>it sure looks empty without those two around.
>Yeah.
>Hahaha

>!

p11
>...Hey.

>If you're waiting for Kuroki-san, she ain't coming.
>She's been suspended.
>Ah...

>Yes... I know.
>Um... She contacted me about that.
>I see.
>So she swapped contacts with this girl too...

>Senpai's not coming, but I still promised I'd come here today.
>I see,

>I hope her suspension ends soon.
>...Yeah.

p12
>Yuri, I've got a committee meeting today.
>I know. I'm leaving first.

>...

>Y-Yuri-chan.

>How was it? Do I sound like her?
>...
>What?
>I figured we could walk home together.

p13
>Still, Kuro sure is a moron, getting suspended at a time like this.
>...Yeah.

>I figured a week would go by in a flash, but it's pretty long, huh?
>Still two more days.
>...

>Huh? You don't think so?
>No, I thought the same thing.
>Oh, we think alike, Tamura-san.
>Do we have similar interests in Kuro?
>It was just coincidence...
