Watamote ch203: Since I'm Not Popular, To Each Their Own School Festival

p1
>Okay, time to give our prototype a little spin~
>Uwhey~

>Alright, boys, we're counting on you~
>OK~

>Ooh~ It's moving, it's moving!

p2
>Let's try spinning the handle.
>It's actually spinning. Looking good~

>Ahahahaha! We're really spinning~
>Gwooooah

>No problems here it looks like.
>Yeah. All that's left is to add more teacups
>and build the same thing inside the classroom.
>Uwaaaaah

>We wanna ride it next!
>How about you guys help push too?

p3
>It's October already and yet it's still so hot...
>I wanna get back to the classroom before I get sunburnt.

>Hah Hah Hah
>...

>The teacups don't interest me at all,
>but getting Koharu-chan to do the manual labor of spinning me around sounds fun.

>Ah, homeroom's over.
>What should we do with this thing? Take it apart?
>Hmm. We can probably just leave it as is until tomorrow.
>OK~

p4
>The festival's coming up soon. Is everyone in your class doing something for it, Sachi?
>We're making something.

>Are you doing any work for it?
>You know I'm not.
>What about you, Koharu-chan?
>Well, I'm the same...

>They're filming some kind of movie, I guess?
>But I don't know anything about it.
>Hmmm.

>Well, since we're not all that involved, we can go home early every day and spend our time freely so that's fine with me.
>Yeah, I guess so.

p5
>Is this what your class is doing, Sachi?
>You're doing it outside?
>They say they're gonna take it apart later and rebuild it in the classroom.

>Wanna try giving it a whirl before then?
>It says not to touch it.
>It'll be fine. I'm in 3-4, after all.
>>3-4 Teacup Ride
>>Fragile prototype. Do not ride.
>>Danger: Don't touch!

>It looks like you move it around by pushing that pole. Give it a try, Koharu-chan.
>Why do I have to do it?

>It'll help you lose weight.
>I don't need to lose weight.
>You definitely do.
>I wanna ride in the seat.
>Let's play rock paper scissors for it!
>Tch...

p6
>Alright, I'm going first~ Go ahead~ Give it a spin.

>It's not moving an inch.
>Aren't you too fat?
>HUUUUH!?

>You're just too weak, Sachi! Lame!!
>You had a grip strength of 12 during the health check, right? Everyone was laughing at you behind your back because of that!
>...Better than having a greasy grip like yours, Koharu-chan.
>Who are you calling greasy!?

p7
>Besides, bullying people based on their bodily traits in this day and age is so lame!!
>It's your skinny physique and doll-like face that are way behind the times!!
>You're saying the same thing, Koharu-chan.
>!?

>Futaki!
>!
>...
>Ah...!?

>What are you doing?
>Ah... Just playing around with something 3-4 made...
>Oh crap... I called out to Futaki while Sachi was still here...

>You're that girl Koharu-chan's been getting along with, right? Futaki-chan, was it? Wanna play with us?
>Uwah... She's smiling now, but she's definitely gonna bitch about her later...

>I'm a creep, though. Is that okay?
>She remembered that, huh... I'm surprised she can hold a grudge...

>Sorry about that. I had a lot going on back then and was a bit on edge.
>But it's not like I was calling you that, Futaki-chan.
>...

>I just have to spin this, right?
>I'll push, so you two ride it.
>No, it's really heavy, so I should help you push it.
>It'll be fine.
>So annoying... Listen, damn it.

p8
>Koharu-chan, I thought I told you
>not to bring that girl.
>I know that. I just called out to her out of reflex since she just happened to be there.

>I had a brief chat with her, but just as I expected, we don't match.
>She doesn't read the room or match up with others. I hate girls who don't live like girls should.
>I can't say I don't feel slightly the same way...

>Putting on a face for mutual benefit and spouting insults to match with others, even if you don't want to say them, is what girls, nay, humans are all about, right?
>I hate her type the most, even more than loner otakus... Hey, aren't we going a bit too fast?

>Koharu-chan, tell Futaki to slow down a little.
>Ooooooh
>Sachi! Sachi!

p9
>Twirling this thing makes it spin around! Amazing, huh?
>You don't need to spin it! We're spinning plenty enough already!

>HYAAAAAAAH!?

p10
>We've really done it now.
>It's completely broken. Beyond repair.

>Don't worry about it, Futaki-chan. We're all accomplices here.
>Koharu-chan and I won't say a word about this.
>Right?
>Ah.
>Yeah.
>Let's get going before someone spots us.

>I'm gonna fix it.
>Eh!?

>It's broken. There's no way you can fix this completely.
>It'll be fine if we buy the same kind of planks.
>No, that'll take time and money. Let's just leave it.
>Don't worry. I'll pay for it.

p11
>Hey, why do you avoid matching up with others to such a degree?

>The mood right now is that we should leave, so you don't need to do anything unnecessary.
>Or what? Are you trying to make just us look like the bad guys?

>No, look. Futaki feels responsible too.
>If we go home the way things are, it'll probably be Sachi who'll get treated like the bad guy by her class.
>That's why you want to fix it, right?

>I wasn't thinking of that.
>I'm trying to back you up here! Geez, you really don't match up with others, do you?

>I just figured this was a rare opportunity since my class isn't doing any large-scale handicraft like this.

>I don't match up with others,
>but it's okay if you two match up with me and help me fix this, isn't it?
>This bitch is seriously pissing me off...!

p12
>You bought it, so eat up.

>Doing work after school certainly makes it feel like a festival, huh?
>We're just fixing something that we broke, though, so it's not productive at all.

>Speaking of which, Sachi, didn't you give off a scream like "Hyaaaah" when you fell from the cup?
>Did I? Are you sure it wasn't you, Koharu-chan?
>I heard it too.
>...Just get to work. We've only got 40 minutes until we're kicked off school grounds.
