Watamote ch159: Since I'm Not Popular, I'm Still Suspended

p1
>The feeling of being suspended has disappeared.

p2
>...
>Okay, you can go home for today.

>...The third day is finally over.
>Just half way to go.
>More like we're only half way there...

p3
>Ah... I need to get my lexicon. Go on ahead of me.
>Aight.


p4
>..yo.
>Ah...
>So you're in the wind music club, huh?
>Its that girl who put Koto in her place...

>What was your name again?
>Itou.
>Erm...
>Yoshida.
>Ah...yes. Yoshida-san.

>Must be tough. Were you stuck in the counselling room until just now?
>I guess.
>Where's the other girl... Kuroki-san?

>She's...
>Huh? You're still at school?

>Ah, erm, good work today...
>Ah.
>Sure.
>That's Komiwhatsherface's friend...

>Koto was worried about you, Kuroki-san.
>Heh.... She should be more worried about her own brain.
>I feel the same way, but still...

p5
>Koto?
>Y'know, from the cafeteria...
>Komiwhatsher... Komiyama-san.

>Ah, that crazy glasses bitch!
>That's right! The huge pervert in glasses!
>Those are some harsh nicknames, but I can't say anything since they match her perfectly.

>So like are you still doing club activities?
>Uh, yeah. Until the summer contest ends at least.
>There's still the culture festival left, though.

>hmmmm
>Heey~

>...
>...

>Ah...
>Lil bro.
>Ah!
>It's Tomo... So he's in the soccer club...
>!
>The guy Koto likes... It's kinda creepy how blatant she is about it...

p6
>I'm still getting tonnes of texts...

>How was it?
>Whaddaya mean "how was it?"!? You're making it hard to reply!!

>Eh? Suspension? Did I do something again? <(^^;) Kuro
>Is she taking the piss!?

>Are you eating properly? Is it rough on you? Don't overdo it. And feel free to call me whenever you're available.
>Mama!?

>Kuroki.
>Who!!? I'm scared!!

p7
>There's some from Forehead and others too...
>For now, I'll just reply to Katou-san...
>It's late, so I don't want to call her.

>...Just half way to go...

>This was all Kuroki-san responded with.
>I'm fine.

>She never did call me in the end.
>Could she be avoiding me?

>Kuro didn't reply to me at all.
>What about you, Tamura-san?
>....I haven't gotten any response either.

>Well, that seems typical...
>Huh? What's up, Katou-san?

p8
>No, it's nothing.
>?
>Thank goodness. I'm the only one she replied to.
>Come to think of it, yesterday...
>I ran into Kuroki-san.
>Heh~
>How was she?
>She seems to be doing okay.

>?

>Where did you see her?
>Near the grounds.
>When?
>Erm, around 6pm...

>Was Yoshida-san there?
>Uh, yeah, she was with her.

>Was she gross?
>Eh!? I don't think she was gross...
>Who?

p9
>...She wasn't gross?
>She wasn't that interested in you, Koto.
>Hm... Yeah...

>I wanna talk about the Lottes instead....
>You should ask Naruse-san about that stuff.
>Okay.

>Looks like she called her yesterday.

>...That's my desk.

>Makocchi, whatcha doing~?
>Ah, Minami-san.

p10
>Vocational school?
>Weren't you aiming for college, Makocchi?
>Uh, yeah. My friend wanted some advice about future careers so I thought I'd help her out.

>Eeh? Then decide for me too.
>Eh? You haven't decided, Minami-san?
>I've got a rough idea, but I'd rather go to whichever one you pick out for me.

>You can't. You need to think about it yourself.
>Eh~ But you're picking one out that girl decide, Makocchi.
>Not at all. I'm just helping her out. It's up to her to make the decision.

>Finally 3pm...

>...

>You're really into that today.
>Hm? Yeah...
>Figured I should give it some proper thought...

p11
>After seeing everyone do club stuff yesterday, I figured I should at least do something for my third summer.
>Hmmm...

>Ah, how about this?
>How about getting a driver's license over summer break?
>Huh?

>Are you picking out my career choices for me?
>No. I'm just saying you'll have a lot more job options if you had a license.

>And y'know, getting a license, renting a Ha*** Ace
>>Ha*** Ace
>and going on a drive with everyone sounds fun, right?

>...
>?
>What is it?

>You've been saying "everyone" a lot lately.
>Eh...?

>She's right. Going on a trip with everyone totally sounds like a cheery character's way of thinking...
>Is my character off cos I haven't seen anyone during my suspension life?

p12
>Besides, I got suspended for riding a scooter. If they catch me riding a car, I'll be expelled.
>Well, I guess so.

>But that might be something to think about after graduation.
>Ah, yeah. One of those graduation trip thingies.

>I'll need some part-time jobs before I can get a license.
>Do licenses cost a lot?
>I'm not sure, but I think it's around 30,000 yen.
>That much...

>About the future careers. I'll probably just idly decide on something while working part-time jobs over the summer, so I'm good.

>This isn't just about you, Yoshida-san! Don't decide these things on your own!
>Huh? Why is she upset?
