私がモテないのはどう考えてもお前らが悪い!

Watashi ga Motenai no wa dō Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui!

No Matter How I Look at It, It’s You Guys' Fault I’m Not Popular!

Synopsis

Tomoko and her group look at various hats and ears in the souvenier shop. Hina Nemoto calls Tomoko over to tell her that she offered to buy Yuri a hat, but she refused, and Nemoto wants to know if Yuri hates her. Tomoko replies that Yuri is "just always like that." Hina tries again to convince Yuri to buy rabbit ears, then observes a group of girls agreeing to buy them and forms a plan based on girls acting together. She looks at Tomoko, whom she refers to as "A-chan" to herself, and concludes that she hates group mentality while Tomoko admits the mouse ears she holds are "cute" but she would be embarrassed to wear them.

Hina playfully calls Tomoko out on that point, as Yuri slowly tries on her rabbit ears, and tells Tomoko that they should get them not just because they are "cute" but because they make them a group and this may be the last time they will all hang out together. She is interrupted by Yoshida loudly telling Yuri she looks "awesome" in her rabbit ears. Nemoto again asks Tomoko if Yuri hates her as Tomoko wonders why she cares so much about Yuri's opinion.

All donning various "ears," the girls approach a ride clearly based on Space Mountain. Mako reminds Yuri that Yuri is afraid of roller coasters, but Yuri replies that "that was two years ago," and she is fine, "probably." To Tomoko's surprise, Ucchi turns to her and asks if she is scared. Yoshida suddenly asks Hina why she is with them. Nemoto finds the question rude, then gives a long explanation that Yoshida clearly does not care about.

Ucchi sits next to Tomoko. During the ride, Tomoko screams and clutches Ucchi's hand on the railing which shocks Ucchi. Tomoko's hair blows into her face. At the end, the girls assess their reactions with Mako asking Yuri if she is okay. Yuri remains silent. Suddenly, Ucchi demands to ride it again and throws a bit of a tantrum when questioned. Hina suggest to Tomoko they do to appease Ucchi but suggests they switch up the partners based on "rock-paper-scissors" to Ucchi's shock. Ucchi rides with Yuri and shows no reaction while Yuri appears sickened. At the end, Ucchi considers the experience "boring" to Yuri's irritation.

As the girls walk to the next ride, Ucchi inwardly laments being next to Yuri "again." Nemoto quietly thanks Tomoko for letting her "cheat." They cheat again in the next rock-paper-scissors so that Tomoko ends up with Nemoto again to Ucchi's visible irritation. Hina thanks Tomoko for letting her sit next to her while Tomoko inwardly wonders what they can talk about. Tomoko remembers that Hina admitted to being an otaku which at least allows them to discuss anime.

Tomoko accidentally calls her "Nemo." Hina picks up on this, and Tomoko tries to cover up assuming Hina is angry with her. Instead, Hina likes that Tomoko has a nickname for her. As they enter the next ride, Hina decides to call her "Kuro," then suggests that Tomoko may find it "too cute," to which Tomoko snaps, "shut up!" Hina teases that that is what she is really like while Tomoko grouses she really was not trying to hide it.

Behind them and next to a sick Yuri, Ucchi seethes in jealousy: "How dare they flirt like that in public! Disgusting!" Without saying a word, Yuri pinches Ucchi's arm as their ride descends. Yoshida, Mako, and Hina laugh, Tomoko screams, Ucchi cries in pain, while Yuri stares. Noticing Yuri's expression on the photographs taken for the ride, Hina still wonders if Yuri, sitting behind her, hates her.

A very quiet Yuri starts to wander off. Tomoko asks her where she is going to which Yuri only replies "bathroom." Tomoko says she will go with her, but Yuri keeps walking away. Tomoko cries out, "hey!" a few times. Yuri finally stops, turns, glares at her and informs her that her name is not "hey."
