Watamote ch183-2: Since I'm Not Popular, A Typhoon is Coming (Part 2)

p1
>Well, whatever. We can just watch movies all night.
>I only have one more, though.

>I've also got one I've recorded.
>It's an anime, though, so I dunno if you'll like it, Yuri-chan.
>...

>I got 1000 yen from my mom, so you can pick whatever you want.
>Watching movies and studying takes both sugar and salt, so think about the balance and sense.
>Do you mind if I buy this with my own money?

>That's certainly not what I had in mind...

>I'm spending the night, so I need to buy at least one meal's worth.
>We'd at least provide dinner for you, y'know.

>I'd be nervous eating with your family, Tomoko.
>I'll just eat alone in your room, so don't worry about it.
>No, I would totally worry about that.

p2
>Well, I totally get that you hate eating with other people's families, but try to put up with it.
>I don't hate it...

>...Okay, let's go.

p3
>Yuri-chan, are my clothes tight on you?
>They're not tight, but

>they are suffocatingly lame.
>I wasn't asking about that...

>Or rather, did you take a bath, Yuri-chan?
>I did. Why do you ask?

>I was surprised that I didn't see a single pube in the water...
>Why would you be checking for that?

>Well, seeing a lot of them floating around would probably be more surprising, though...
>Yuri-chan!?
>Are you stupid?

p4
>A long time ago, in a certain place, there was a girl.
>That girl admired the castle (love hotel) on top of the hill.

p5
>So that was a story about a class putting on a musical, huh?
>Eh? Yeah...

>It was an anime about youth, so you must've hated it, huh, Yuri-chan?
>I found it interesting enough.

>You said we'd be shooting a movie, but is this the kinda thing you wanna do for the culture festival?
>Eh?

>Something with everyone working together, helping each other out, overcoming troubles and growing from the experience.
>Well... to be honest, that kinda vibe does feel like youth, so I do kinda admire it.

>But realistically, none of those pleasant troubles would ever happen, so it'd just be everyone making compromises to move forward in the name of "working together".
>I guess that could be seen as "growing" in a way, though.
>Nemo and I did say we'd do a movie, but it's not yet decided what the class will be doing yet.

p6
>When the day of the festival arrives, we might end up cooking yakisoba or takoyaki instead.
>>Takoyaki - 100 yen
>>Spicy Yakisoba, Yummy Takoyaki
>>Yummy Takoyaki - 100 yen
>>Spicy Takoyaki - 100 yen
>My eyes!?
>Uuh!?

>Breaking news on the typhoon. Typhoon 10 is currently...

>The typhoon will continue to grow stronger as it heads north up until dawn...

>Wait, it's already past six? It's been so dark that I had no idea.
>Tomoko, dinner's ready so come on down~

p7
>Let me know if there's anything you don't like.
>Sure. Thanks for the food.

>Ah...
>Thanks...

>Ah, this gratin is really good.
>Really? Glad to hear it~

>My kids just eat and never say anything, so I appreciate the feedback.
>Ahaha.

p8
>It's gotten quiet outside.
>We're probably in the eye of the storm right now.

>It was quiet during dinner. Was it because I was there?
>No, it's always like that.

>I had this image of other people's families being more cheerful while eating dinner.
>Ahaha
>Ahaha
>Doing that everyday would be pretty unnatural, wouldn't it?

>What's it like at your place, Yuri-chan?
>Basically the same.
>I guess it's pretty much the same wherever you go.
>Yeah.

>It was easy to eat since the dining table was so quiet.
>I do have mixed feelings about how that implies we have a gloomy household, though...

>Let's watch that other movie you brought with you, Yuri-chan.
>Alright. I dunno if it's any good, though.

p9
>This is that movie that starts the day before a culture festival, right?
>I brought this one for everyone else to watch.

>I really admire pool scenes like this.
>School starts in September, but do you wanna try that?

>Nah. In terms of actually doing that, it won't be possible with the swim team around.
>If they showed up midway, they'd be looking at us going "what are those guys doing?" or something like that.
>Shall I be on the lookout for you?

>I did have Nemo help me experience that gym storage trope, though.
>It was kinda different from artificially made youth.

>...

>Woah!!?

>It's started up again.
>That scared me...

p10
>Ah, I knew it.
>That episode of the anime I like where they put on a concert was imitating this movie.

>That scene where the the protogonists get held up in a trap and their friends try to buy time felt light novelish, so maybe light novel authors watched it too.
>That anime you showed me had a similar ending too, Tomoko.

>That was fun, but since it was a movie you brought, Yuri-chan, I got anxious that the band members were gonna commit suicide at the end...
>It's not like I like stories about death or anything...

p11
>It's a blackout.
>Well, the lights should be back on soon enough.

>...
>...

>Yuri-chan, you can use that cushion as a pillow.
>Okay.

p12
>The typhoon seems to be at its peak, so it should be over soon...
>We've got school in three days time, after all.
>Yeah.

>It would be interesting if a typhoon showed up during the culture festival.
>Ah, yeah. A culture festival in the middle of a typhoon would be crazy.

>Thought of any ideas for the movie?
>I don't have any scenarios in mind, but I might something for a plot.
>Like what?
>It's hard to explain but, for example...

p13
>...When did I fall asleep?
>...What time is it?
>...1:30am.
>We slept for quite a bit, huh?

>The rain... has stopped.
>Still windy, though.
>Yeah.

>It's luke warm and isn't very fizzy.
>Should I chill it for you?
>Don't bother. This is the last of it.

p14
>Now that we've had some caffeine, we won't be able to sleep, huh?
>What was this anime you said you liked, Tomoko?
>We can put that on.

>Ana~ta ga~ i~te~
>Hoka~ no hito wa~ kie~teshiimaa~tta~

>!

>The sun's rising.

p15
>The typhoon is completely gone.
>Yeah...

>What should we do today?
>I'll probably head home at around noon while it's still bright.

>Shall I put some coffee on then? There's nobody in the living room right now,
>so let's scarf down whatever chocolate we have left with some coffee.
>Sure.
