Watamote ch213-3: Since I'm Not Popular, It's the Day Before the School Festival (Part 3)

p1
>Ooh~ It's showing.
>Where's the sound?
>We can use it once the dancers have finished using it to rehearse.

>Checking over the film, huh?
>Huh? You're doing something in the gym too, Fuuka?

>I'm rehearsing with the band.
>Ah, I see.
>So it's your band that's going on before us, huh?

p2
>"I'm rehearsing for a live performance" is one of those phrases you always wanna try saying once in your life, huh?
>Really?
>Every normal person has dreamed about being in a band at least once, right?

>You've got the face of a bassist, Yuri-chan.
>The type who can liven up the mood even if you suck at playing.
>You're deciding from my face?

>Then I guess Mako would be a keyboardist?
>True. She has that kind of face that wouldn't look out of place next to a keyboard.

>What about you, Tomoko?
>Guitar.
>I think you'd go best with that instrument that makes that "rattle" sound.
>Would the band even need me?

p3
>...My face aside, I'd never be able to perform in front of such a huge crowd.
>Yuri-chan and I were trembling enough as is from that [Kowalith] from Disneyland...
>...

>You act like it doesn't concern you, but we're screening our movie here too, y'know?
>Well yeah,
>but just screening it should be fine.

>Although I might start trembling again depending on how the crowd reacts.

>If nobody reacts, we can just leave our seats right away, so it's okay.
>That's certainly an option...
>What's okay about that? You'll just make it seem like it's doomed to failure.

p4
>If there's no problems with the equipment,
>the drama club is up next.
>>School Festival Committee
>Think this'll work?
>Probably.

>How's the other one coming along?
>I'm editing it right now. It's probably gonna take me the whole day.
>Sorry for relying on you so much.
>It's fine. It's surprisingly fun.

>Oh yeah. Two years ago, I didn't have anything to do, so I just pulled up the chairs...
>and sat here by myself on the day of the festival.

p5
>...mo-chan?
>Kuro!

>What's wrong?
>Did you forget something?
>Ah... No...

>I was just remembering the school festival from our first year.
>You mean back when Nemoto-san was leaving you out?
>Don't speak ill of me... We just didn't talk to each other back then.

>>No Entry

p6
>Aren't you guys gonna do anything?
>It's fine. We'll be working tomorrow.
>Yeah, yeah.

>Our job is to scare people with this.
>What's that?
>You stick it in people's faces in the darkness. A common staple.
>Uwaah! Gross!

>There's a trick you can do to make this even scarier.
>Huh?

>If you cut a hole in the middle, it'll be really scary.
>That's not so much scary that it is incredibly unpleasant.
Hahaha!

>?
>Do you know what she meant, Mako?
>Eh!?

p7
>I don't.
>No, you totally know. I can tell from your expression.
>Wah wah
>So what did she mean?
>It's not something I should tell you while we're working, but...

>You have this in this thing like this

>and then you apparently do this.

>What an idea.
>Are you seriously a genius?
>Combining konyaku's intended use with horror.
>No, it's really not worth admiring...

p8
>...So, what does that mean?
>Give it a rest already...
>Surely you could tell by what you just saw, right?
>I couldn't.

>Yoshida-san's become intrigued too.
>I didn't want to say anything since it'd ruin my image, but...
>Gya~
>Wah~
>A little to the right
>Wah Wah

>Yuri, you should known since you often read manga with depictions of violence and sex, right?
>I can't pretend not to know things unlike you, Mako.
>My image is getting worse!?

>Why is it that just because Yuri and Minami-san lack common sense, I'm being treated like I'm the impure one.
>Yoshida-san aside, there's more people here who know than those who don't...
>>Those who know
>>Those who don't

>So, what is it? Hurry up and tell me.
>Alright already. I don't want Yoshida-san to hear so I'll tell you later.
>!?

p9
>The heck? So you're okay with telling Tamura but not me?
>Eh?

>What the hell can't tell me!?
>What do I do? She's getting the wrong idea.
>But I can't exactly say that I can't exactly say.

>Um, it's something that might shock you, Yoshida-san.
>Don't treat me like a kid!!
>I think you should tell Yoshida-san too, Mako.

>Yuri...!!

>This is just something I've heard from boys talking and late night talk shows, but...

>Um...
>You cut open a hole in the konyaku... um...
>and then a man... erm... goes inside it...
>That's apparently a way to use it.

p10
>WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN!?
>The kiddy treatment didn't work, huh?
>She's so pure that she still doesn't get it.

>Basically,
>they stick their d*cks in the konyaku hole...
>Why would they do that!?
>I dunno.
>Cos the stickiness feels good, I guess?
>I-Is that so? And everyone does that?
>Yep. Everyone does it.

>Senpai, I brought some refreshments.

>Getting close to the end yet?
>It might take me until morning.
>Seriously!?

p12
>What should we do? Is there anywhere we can all stay until morning?
>Eh? Ah... Tomoko's house?
>Treating it like your own, I see...

>It's fine. As long as you check through it, I should be able to finish it by myself.
>We haven't gotten to do anything, so at least let us join you until the end.
>You've been giving me plenty of treats, though.

>Wanna try sneaking into school on the night of the festival?
>As an anime and drama staple, I've always wanted to try it,
>but doing it in real life is a tall hurdle.

>Ah, a place you can stay until morning?

p13
>Yes, I do believe we'll be able to work all night there.

>Pulling an all-nighter with everyone on the night before the school festival. The kind of youth you see in anime.
