Who Decided Blues Had to Be Cool ch10: Blues Are Burdened With Darkness

p1
>Y'know, Gunjou~
>?

>You look kinda...

>Ah, don't say another word!

>You were gonna say "you look kinda pretty when you keep your mouth shut", right?
>Too bad. My mouth is staying open.
>Her conceitedness is way too powerful.

>No, I was gonna say you look kinda smart when you keep your mouth shut.
>Huh!?

p2
>You saying I look like a moron when I talk!?

>You are a moron, aren't you?
>That super blunt bad-mouthing came like a fiery fastball!

>Sure, I may say some dumb stuff from time to time,
>but calling me a moron straight to my face really hurts my pride, y'know!?

>Yeah, but...

>You got a failing grade, didn't you?
>You should study for your makeup test.

>...Right.

p3
>Uuh~ I wanna be smart~
>Putting myself aside, someone with your looks being a moron is amazing in more ways that one...
>That's quite the gap.

>Could you stop calling me a moron!?
>I'm not stupid just because I like it, y'know!?
>What kind of character is that?

>But seriously, if it was just your appearance, Gunjou, you'd seem like a cool honors student.

>Well excuse me for being neither cool nor an honors student!
>I'm just a gloomy bumpkin, after all!

>Sure, right now you give off the impression of a bump-... an unsophisticated person,
>but y'know... if you tried changing up your image, I'm sure you'd look more sophisticated!

p4
>Huh?
>I already went through a pretty drastic image change...
>Eh?

>Compared to the old me that people called "dug out and fresh from the farm",
>aren't I now a modern, urban, sparkling high school girl...?
>Your standards for a level-up are way too low!
>Gunjou Azusa's dark middle school era

>Erm... Then how about taking a cue from one of those animes about transforming heroines?
>You seem like you'd be a good BLUE character, Gunjou!
>In terms of your image color.

>Huh...? Why would she throw such a dangerous ball towards me?
>Her killing intent is too strong...

>She couldn't have figured out my identity the other day... could she...!?
>*See chapter 9

p5
>For starters!
>Blue characters are generally stylish, strict, and noble...
>Above all else, they have a reputation for being cool!

>Now look at me. What part of me looks cool to you?
>There's not an inch of me that fits a blue character is there?
>...

>I'm more of a pink, wouldn't you say?
>Putting aside whether you're pink or not, your personality certainly isn't cool.
>"Fool" would be more appropriate.

>What are you so upset about~?
>You're so sensitive~

p6
>But yeah, I guess you're right.

>In the end, Gunjou is Gunjou.
>I wouldn't like it if you forced yourself to change your image and lost your original Gunjou-ness.

>Minami...

>Eh~? Then shall I show off my original me-ness to your heart's content?
>Let's forget the studying and goof off somewhere...

>That won't do!
>If you end up repeating the year, we won't be able to graduate together!
>Just do it already!
>Uhiii! On second thought, I wanna be a cool honors student after all!
