Yoshida-san Wants to Invite

p2
>Hey, you guys got a moment?
>What's up, Yoshida-san?

>Um...
>T-Tanaka...
>What's this about Mako?

>Idiot! Not so loud!
>You're the loudest one here...

>I want to invite her.
>To join your gang?

>Why you!
>Gya!?

p3
>Tomoko's an idiot, so don't pick on her for every little thing... You won't get anywhere like that.
>I guess you're right.
>Eh? I'm the idiot?

>So what did you want to invite Mako to?
>!

>A d-d...
>A movie showing.
>You were about to say "date", weren't you. Don't try to hide it.

>You mean at the V-Cinema? I wouln't if I were you. Mako-san seems like she'd be bad with violence, and those yakuza movies don't have any Disney characters in them so I doubt you'd enjoy it either, Yoshida-san.

>Why you!
>Gya!?

p4
>Calm down, Yoshida-san. You'll kill her if you keep this up.
>I can kill her at least once, right?
>What do you think I am? Some kind of zombie?

>Speaking of zombies, if you pick a horror movie, you can cling onto Mako.
>M-Moron! Like I could do something so embarrassing!

>She's right y'know. Delinquents are known for doing dubious things in the dark, so you can do anything during a movie, right?

>GYAAA!?

>What is this? An infinite loop?

p5
>Why are you so enthusiastic, Yuri-chan?
>I don't seem like the type who'd be interested in this kinda thing.
>Hah... Tomoko, do you remember Mako and Yoshida-san's recent exchange?
>Oh? Yeah, I think it went like...

>The movie you lent me was really interesting, Yoshida-san. It left me in tears.
>Yeah! I was moved too.

>The heroine was so cute. She looked really alike.
>??? Alike to who?

>N-
>No one in particular!

p6
>S-Speaking of which, the heroine had a good mood going with that girl she travelled with.
>Yeah. They really got along.

>T-Tanaka... Are you okay with that kind of thing?
>? Yeah. Girls getting along with each other is a good thing.

>No, not that. How should I put it...
>Ah... I-I think it's a good thing!

>I think that kind thing is up to the people involved.
>I-I guess so!

p7
>...Something along those lines.

>What did you think about that conversation, Tomoko?
>Ah, well, that's a bit...

>If you don't answer me, I'll break fifty of your ribs.

>I've only got 24 of them!! That's scary!!
>Then tell me right away.

>It pissed me off.
>I should've expected as much, Tomoko. You're really cruel.
>You're the one who made me say it!?

p8
>I'm at my breaking point here. I'm sick of romcoms where it looks like they'll get together but don't. If you understand that, then help me out.
>A-Alright.

>Well then, Yoshida-san, why don't you just try asking Mako out normally.
>Alright. Normally... got it.

>Hey, Tanaka.
>Eh?

>Meet me round back after school.
>Eeeh!?

>What are you playing at, Yoshida-san? I'm seriously gonna hit you.
>Eh!? Was that not the right way!?

p9
>I don't think your head's on straight, Yoshida-san.
>Hey!?

>Hey, Yoshida-san...
>What is it?

>Unfortunately, it looks like shakedowns are the only thing you're good at.
>I'm seriously gonna kick your ass.

>Erm, I don't really get it, but...
>I guess it means I should keep my schedule after school open, right?

>Seriously? She accepted that jumbled up invitation?
>Tomoko. Your true opinions are leaking.

p10
>Just to let you know, we're gonna be monitoring them after school.
>Eh!? But I wanna go home...
>We're going.
>Yes, ma'am.

p12
>Did I get here early...
>She's already here!?

>H-Hey, Tanaka. Were you waiting long?
>That's my line, Yoshida-san!

>Nah, I wasn't waiting at all! Waiting is part of the fun!
>Fweh!?

>Ah, no.
>Forget I said that!
>O-Okay.

>I'm gonna snap.
>The feeling's mutual.

p13
>Ah, so um...
>????

>Urm, torommow...
>Oh goddammit!
>Yoshida-san!?

>I don't really get it, but Yoshida-san just bit her tongue!
>Even though she's usually so cool, I love this side of her...!

>Right now, it feels like I can read Mako's mind. Maybe we should just leave these two be.
>I've been wanting to do that from the start...

>Hey... It's been ten minutes since then.
>Mako-san must really love Yoshida-san to wait that long.

p14
>Oh. Yoshida-san's about to say something.

>Hey, Tanaka. How much do you have on you?
>Eeeh!?

>What does she mean!? A shakedown!?
>But I'm sure Yoshida-san wouldn't do something like that.

>Erm... About 7000 yen?

>Tch!
>!?

p15
>Hey, did we really need to hide behind the school building too?
>I can give better advice when I can see their reactions live.

>It's from Yoshida-san.
>Emergency.

>I thought I could be cool by treating Tanaka on the date, but it turns out she has more money than I do.

>HOW STUPID ARE YOU!?
>Never mind that. Just invite her quickly.
>Yuri-chan!?

p16
>Ah. Another LINE message from Yoshida-san.
>What am I supposed to say when I invite someone on a date?

>She's already calling it a date. Her brain must be in panic mode.
>The heck is panic mode?

>Can't you just say "Let's go on a date tomorrow"?
>I can't say that. It's too embarrassing.

>I'm gonna smack her.
>Yuri-chan!? Calm down!

>Then how about "Wanna go see a movie tomorrow"?
>Got it.
>No. I get the feeling this rotten delinquent doesn't understand anything.
>Yuri-chan? Your badmouthing is getting worse!

p17
>Okay.

>Ah, um... Are you... free tomorrow?
>Eh!? I-I'm not sure, but I can make time!

>No, you're busy right!? You don't have to force yourself!
>It's fine!

>I'll definitely leave tomorrow open!
>In fact, I'm free right now!

>Hmm, I get the feeling that Mako's broken too.
>"I'll definitely leave it open" is a phrase I'll probably never use once in my life.

p18
>Uuuh. She's definitely asking me to hang out, right!? We've not got a chance to hang out with just the two of us. I feel bad for Yuri, but I've always wanted to hang out with just us.

>Then, erm...
>...

>T-Take care during the holidays! Later!
>Eh?

>What is that simple-minded delinquent saying!? Has her brain melted or something?
>Yuri-chan!? Even I wouldn't go that far! Calm down!

>Out of my way, Tomoko. I'm gonna hit her.
>Run, Yoshida-san! She's as powerful as a mountain gorilla when she's angry! Run away right now!

p19
>W-Wait!
>Eh...

>I don't really understand, but you had something you wanted to ask me, right?
>In that case...

>Fuck yeah! Nice one, Mako! That's my galpal!
>Since when did you have this kind of personality, Yuri-chan?
>...

>Can we meet here again tomorrow!?
>I'll wait for you!
>S-Sure... Alright.

>What am I saying...?

p20
>Yes!

>Eh?

>...
>I'm confused. Was it a success or not?

>Hey, thanks, you guys!
>Thanks to you, I get to meet up with Tanaka tomorrow!

p21
>ORAAA!
>Hgh!?
>Yuri-chaaaan!?
>The next day went pretty much the same and they eventually managed to go on their date.
