Watamote ch143: Since I'm Not Popular, The Three of Us Will Study

p1
>It's Naruse. Is Tomoko-san here...
>Ah, it's me. Come on up.

>I brought some cake, Mokocchi.
>It's from the old man's shop from when I came here before...
>Ah.
>Thanks. Let's eat it later.

>...

>I didn't bring you anything.
>Ah, it's fine. I wasn't expecting you to.
>It would've been more bothersome if you did bring something.

>Ah, y'know, cos I'd end up thinking that this stuff is normal for human beings or I'd have to pay you back or something.
>...

p2
>Third years are all about study, study, study.

p3
>Okay, let's study.

>Yuu-chan, is something like this okay for a study session?
>Eh!?

>I've never done one before so I dunno if I've got it right.
>I haven't really done that many either...
>But when I did it with my friends before a test...

>We went to a family restaurant and talked while helping each other with parts we didn't know.
>Heh~
>I'm not smart compared to Mokocchi's school so it might be a little different, though...

p4
>It's not really a study session, but before a test
>me and my friend would study together over Skype.
>Is that so?

>There's a lot of distractions when you study alone, so we monitored each other so we don't slack off.

>Shougo
>Shougo

>Nakamura Shougo
>Fufun

>...

>...eyeball.

p5
>I wanna lick the corner of Tomoki's eyeball...

>There are times when I get too relaxed and embarrass myself by letting me hear my humming, though.
>Heh~

>You have such a kind friend, Komi-chan.
>Watching over you for such a long time.
>Eh? Y-Yeah.
>She's creeped out.

>So in other words, a study session is about keeping an eye on each other to make sure you study.
>Well, you're half-right.

>I'm throwing aside science for fine arts
>so it's not something I can really learn just by memorizing things.
>Eh!?

>You don't have to study for all subjects for your exams?
>It's a private school. In my case, I'm taking English, Literature, and Japanese History.

p6
>I had no idea...
>Okay, let's do this.

>ah...

>...

>...

>!
>Sorry, let me put the TV on.
>Ah?

p7
>Lottes have a chance for bases loaded.

>I know all too well they probably won't get the bases loaded.
>They never do, and this time for sure...

>And three strikes! The Lottes have wasted their chance.

>...Well, I knew it, but...

>I know about Yuri-chan but
>who are Nemo-san and Katou-san?

>You went on a college visit right, Mokocchi?
>How did it go?

>Yeah. I went to Morinaga and Aoyama too, but it went well.

>It's almost 3pm.
>How about we have that cake and some tea, Yuu-chan?
>Ah, yeah...

p8
>Komi-chan, what kind of people are Nemo-san and Katou-san like?
>Eh?

>Nemo... Nemo... Ah... From the cafeteria...
>She apparently wants to be a voice actress and has a pretty flashy hairdo.

>Katou-san... I'm not sure what she's like.
>I've never talked to her, but she's kinda Gyaru-ish, I think...?
>I see.

>Mokocchi's got lots of friends, huh?
>Kinda surprising, huh?

>Oh yeah, the other day she was with this pi-... girl that I never met before.
>Is that so...?

>Ooh

p9
>Let's take a quick breather with a quick game.
>We can all play Everybody's Golf.

>Loser gets a penalty, right?
>If Yuu-chan loses, you'll have to grope your boobs.

>If you lose, Komi-san, pack your things and leave
>never to return.
>That's not a penalty for a quick breather!

>>Nice Shot!

>Here, Yuu-chan.
>Right.

>I've never really pictured myself as a sports person, but I kinda wanna become a golfer.
>Since women can make a living off of it too.

>I could even become an e-Sports player right now.
>Even if I don't become a top player, I can rake in the otaku money since I'm a woman.
>I doubt it.

p10
>Tomoki-kun's home...! He's in the next room...!!

>Right now, I'm in the same house as Tomoki-kun...!! A tribe in the same house.
>Family...!!

>Hah Hah

>Komi-san's being kinda creepy so let's call it a day.
>A little early, but...
>Eh!? O-Okay...
>Wha...!? Oh come on!!

p11
>Let's walk together a little.
>There's something I wanna show you, Yuu-chan.
>Eh?

>Should be around this bench somewhere...

>Ah, there!

>Look, Yuu-chan. You like cats, right?
>Yeah! So cute.

p12
>The other day, this dog showed up on campus.

>That dog stuck its head up the skirt of this delinquent from my class
>and got punched in the face.
>Eh!? I-I feel sorry for that doggy.

>Komi-san got punched in the stomach by that delinquent too.
>Is that true, Komi-chan? How cruel.
>No, don't treat me the same as the dog...

>Well, she's punched me in the face several times, though.
>Are you okay!? She's not bullying you, is she!?

>Unlike you, Yuu-chan, she's very strict when it comes to sexual harrassment.
>Did you do something to her?

>All I did was rub her naked tits for a bit.
>!
>I-I see. Is she your friend?

>I wonder about that...? She and those two from before...
>Tamura-san and Tanaka-san, we sometimes walk home together.
>I see...

p13
>Mokocchi never really talked about school before.
>But these days she's really into it.
>Ah... You think so?

>Mokocchi and Komi-chan's class
>sounds really fun.
>Hmm, I wonder about that.

>...Komi-chan, do you think I could take part in those study sessions with your friend too?
>Eh? Sure, but why do you ask?

>I think it'd be really fun if I could go to the same school as Mokocchi and Komi-chan...
>Even if I'm no good, I wanna study hard.

>Then you'd be better off studying with her...
>Yeah, I was thinking of doing it with Mokocchi but...
>I'm sure she wants to study with her friends...

>Well, it might be boring since I don't have as many friends as her.
>Th-That's not what I meant...
>Just kidding.
>Itou-san should give you the okay so I'll send you an invite over Skype.

p14
>A few days later.
>Nice to meet you. I'm Naruse Yuu.
>Uh yeah. I heard about you from Koto.

>I'm Itou Hikari. Nice to meet you.
>Yeah. Likewise, Hikari-chan.

>...chan.

>I just simply wanna make Tomoki-kun my onii-chan...

>>Let's use the power of "observation".
