Watamote ch126: Since I'm Not Popular, I'll Get Called a Nickname

p1
>Woah, that's pricey...

>Kuroki-san, a moment.

>Tamura-san turned me down earlier when I said we should buy some ears.
>Does she perhaps hate me?
>Nah, she's always like that.

>Hmm. Well, whatever.
>It's kinda refreshing.
>You gonna buy that, Tamura-san?
>Eh...
>Not really...

>Normal girl groups
>tend to just read the mood together.
>Something like that.
>Let's all get these.
>Cute!
>Sure!

p2
>Ah, but this girl's different.
>She doesn't really group with others.
>These ears are cute, but wearing them would be embarrassing...

>What is it? Were you just thinking that wearing something this cute would be embarrassing?
>As expected of a former loner. You're overly self-conscious.

>Stuff like this isn't just about cuteness.
>Wearing them lifts spirits and unites the group together.
>Y-You think so?

>Besides, I don't think the members here will ever get another chance to be surrounded by ear-wearing mice.
>Ah, that's great, innit.

>You should go with that.
>...Alright, I'll buy it.

>Are you sure she doesn't hate me?
>I guess it's bothering her...

p3
>Are you gonna be okay, Yuri? You're bad with roller coasters, aren't you?
>That was back in the first year. I should be fine now.

>K-K-Kuroki...
>Are you okay with something like this?
>Eh!?
>Y-
>Yeah.
>She spoke!!?

>What're you doin' here?
>What's with the attitude!?
>Well, a lot of stuff happened...
>Hmm...

p4
>Uwoooaaah!?
!!?
>Wooooah!!
>Uwaaaaaaah!!

p5
>Waah!?
>Aaaah

>!?
>!?

>Uwah!!?
>aaaaaaaaaaah!!?

>AAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

>You sure screamed a lot.
>Well, it was rougher than I expected.
>You okay?
>Well, let's hit the next one.
>Wait!

p6
>Let's ride it one more time!!
>Huuh!?

>What's the point of riding the same thing?
>I wanna ride it again!

>Come on, Ucchi. You're searching for you friends, right? Let's move somewhere else.
>No! I wanna ride! I wanna ride!!

>Well, I'm fine with riding it again.
>I can handle one more go...

>No helping it then...
>Do you wanna take a break, Yuri?
>I'm fine.
>Come on, let's go!

>Hey, why don't we do rock-paper-scissors
>to mix up the pairings?
>!!?

p7
>That was boring...

>Are you really alright?
>I said I'm fine.
>Her again.
>...

p8
>Sorry, that was sneaky of me.
>Ah
>Yeah!

>Five minutes earlier
>Okay, let's decide the next pair.
>Yeah.

>Kuroki-san, throw out paper.
>!

>Rock Paper Scissors!

>Well, looks like I'm paired with Kuroki-san.
>Haha
>Hahaha...

>It would've been boring if I didn't get to pair with you at least once.
>You can throw out whatever you like next time.
>Ah, sure.

>Nemo was always so plain so I wasn't sure how to talk to her...
>But I guess it's okay to talk about otaku stuff now that she's come out?

p9
>Hey, Nemo...
>Ah!?
>Nemoto-san, about this season's anime...
>!

>Did you just call me Nemo?
>Sh-She heard me...
>N-No I didn't.
>No, you definitely did.

>Have you been calling me Nemo inside your mind?
>Since when?
>What's with this sharp gaze? It's scary!!

>N-...
>No, you're wrong...
>I was just
>trying to say Nemoto-san...
>...

>It's fine. You can call me Nemo.
>You've been calling me that in your mind all this time, right? I won't force you to change it.
>...

>How many in your group?
>Ah, there's six of us.

p10
>...Picking up from where we left off,
>could you say it before the Splash Coaster drops?
>She's training me!?
>Well, whatever...
>I know Nemo's true side so I don't have to worry about this stuff anymore...

>...N-
>Nemo...

>What is it, Kuro?

p11
>Kuro?
>You got Nemo from Nemoto, right?
>Therefore, Kuro from Kuroki.

>Well, it might be too cute of a nickname for you.
>...Shut up.
>!

>So is that your true form? The original Kuro?
>No, it's not like I'm always like that...

>It feels like I've finally met you.
>Huh?
>What's with these two flirting when they're both girls? Gross!!

>We're about to drop.
>Wanna do a pose together, Kuro?
>No way.

>...
>!?

>EEEEEK!!

p12
>Eh? She's glaring at me!? So she really does hate me?

>!
>Where are you going?
>Bathroom.

>I'll go too.
>...

>...Hey.
>Hey?
>...Hey?

>My name isn't "Hey", y'know?
>Another sharp glare!? Why!? It's scary!!
