Watamote ch191: Since I'm Not Popular, I'll Start Over

p1
>Prioritizing what's fun over what's right.

p2
>...

>?

>She wasn't there...
>I'll try again during lunch break.

>Not there...
>Is she home sick today?

p3
>Ah... Maki...
>So like~

>Hey.
>Are you sure about that?
>About what?

>I heard about it from Nori, but...
>being ignored like that in real life is...

>Well... That's all because of the way we were...
>...I guess... I should forget about Sachi for today...
>Hey.

>Did you need anything?

p4
>Ah, Sachi... Did Sachi come to school today?
>Sachi... You mean Mima?
>I believe she did, but...

>she probably went off somewhere.
>I see.

>Later.
>Ah...
>Hey, um...

>Didn't you tell me not to show my face here
>because I made fun of Kuroki that day?
>Did I?
>I forgot.

>When it comes to Kuroki, I get a little weird every now and then. Don't let it bother you.
>It doesn't bother me, after all!
>Hm...? Ah... okay?

>But still, you really saved me, in more ways than one...
>How so?
>Minami-chan?
>What are they talking about, I wonder?

p5
>You called out to me.
>?

>I didn't think there'd be anyone left in this class who'd want to talk to me anymore.

>I only spoke to you cos I don't really care about what's going on with you, Minami.
>Even so,
>I wouldn't have understood anything on my own.

>Hmm. I hope you and Mima can make up with each other.
>You knew about that?
>I had a feeling that's what this conversation was about.

p6
>Futaki said she saw her around this area, but is she really in a place like this?

>Knowing Sachi's personality, she might've changed locations after Futaki spotted her...

>Ah!?

>Sachi...
>Ah, so you came here too, Koharu-chan...
>I was spotted by [Futaki head], after all.

>I wanted to find somewhere I could be alone
>but this place surprisingly has a lot of people come by.
>A third year boy came here yesterday too.
>...

p7
>...So, what is it?
>You came to see the loner even though we're in seperate classes?
>That's right.
>...What do you want?

>Nori and Maki won't be there anymore,
>but do you want to eat lunch together?
>Since you're by here by yourself.

>Eh~ You're so kind~

>But no. You're the last person I want showing me pity, Koharu-chan.

p8
>I thought you'd bring your little friend along to poke fun at me, but you're being nice to me instead~
>I thought about doing that at first,
>but I'm above you now, so I have to be kind.

>I love how you're able to say what you truly think.
>But I'm feeling all refreshed inside after what happened the other day,
>so I don't think I really need you anymore, Koharu-chan.

>Well I don't feel refreshed at all,
>so I thought I'd ask if we could keep being friends.

>No way. I don't like it when you're not below me, Koharu-chan.

p9
>Since when have you even been above me, Sachi?
>You were a total loner until just a short while ago, weren't you, Koharu-chan?

>I may have been a loner, but I've still got the cuter face, which means I'm on a higher tier than you, right?

>...
>I've got the slimmer body.
>You're just fat, Koharu-chan.

>Fa-...!?
>No, my body weight's pretty average!!
>Average weight is still fat.

>My face is well-proportioned too.
>Your teeth are all crooked, Koharu-chan.
>Well-proportioned!? All that means is that you've got a face like a mask!!

>...
>...

>We've badmouthed a lot of people before,
>but this is the first time we've badmouthed each other, isn't it?
>!

p10
>Did you forget what Nori said?
>We used to badmouth you behind your back a lot.
>I meant face-to-face!

>Right now, we're technically on even ground.
>Would this work for you?

>...Don't you dare bring that [Futaki head] girl here, okay?
>Okay.
>And definitely don't bring those otakus along either.
>Got it.

>Makocchi is okay, but Tamura-san is... Well, she's fine too, I guess...
>Why Tamura?
>We were all in a group during the first year, remember?
>No, I was against it, but she just ended up joining by accident since we went to the same middle school.

p11
>What should we do about the movie, Kuro? Wanna do bubble tea instead?
>Stop looking at me like that.

>I mean, I was hoping to finally ask Futaki-san for her help today and was keeping watch over her...
>but the instant I took my eyes off of her, she disappeared!!

>We need to split up and search for her!
>Yuri-chan and Mako-san,
>check the third floor!
>Nemo and I will check the courtyard and the other building!!

>If you're looking for Futaki, she's probably in the gymnasium on the second floor.

p12
>She's usually there doing weight training in the sports clubroom.
>Kibako!

>Later.

>Where's the second floor gymnasium?
>It's up the stairs by the entrance, right?
>Minami-san!

>Let's go, Yuri.
>Ah, sure.
