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

Synopsis

The chapter directly follows the previous and is similarly divided into titled parts.

To Fall (落ちる・おちる・ochiru)

The side narration reads "Kii-chan and Tomoko at Tomoko's high school. . . ."

As Tomoki plays soccer,  Tomoko muses that this is the first time she has ever watched him play. As she wonders if he deserves all of the girls cheering him, she notices  Shizuku Hirasawa. Shizuku explains that her boyfriend who failed the entrance exam is playing in the match. Tomoko inwardly wonders why she has not broken up with him yet.

[ENGLISH Dejected Boy Pickie HERE]A boy sits dejected on the bench. Tomoko asks Shizuku if her boyfriend is out on the field; she replies that he is the one sitting on the bench. Tomoko is inwardly impressed by his "negative aura." Shizuku jokes that he may be good at "falling." [CANNOT Make out Kanji in Tomoko's response]

Nugget (ヌーゲット・nuggeto)

Shizuku asks Tomoko why she is there. Tomoko replies that she and her cousin came to look at her school, as the smiling Kii stands next to her. Tomoko explains that her younger brother is playing. Excited, Shizuku asks her who he is. Kii listens as Tomoko responds that he is "number 9." A smitten Shizuku asks if he is the one who scored a goal. She continues that "sempai's brother looks really cool!" Her comments are interrupted by Kotomi quietly taking a picture of her with her phone. Covering her mouth, Kotomi tells Akari Iguchi that it is unusual for "pigs (ブタ・buta)" to talk. Akari wonders to herself if she is the same type of "sempai." [CHECK] Shizuku explains to Tomoko that, afterall, she is hated by girls. Tomoko responds that, "That Glasses (あのメガネ・ano megane)" [furigana is censored for a kanj for some reason!] [Translation Save Point!]

Young Killer (年下キラー・とししたキラー・toshishita kirā)

Shizuku and Kii talk. Much fear from Shizuku.

Technique (芸・げい・gei)

Yoshida and her Unnamed friend sit with a dog. Tomoko comes. Tomoko speaks. Mere words cannot convey what happens next. Yoshida punches Tomoko.

[Need to Check Translation!] (チン・chin)

Yoshida scolds the dog as her Unnamed Friend watches applying lipstick, and Tomoko, with a swollen left cheek, thinks [TRANSLATE]. Kii and Shizuku arrive.  Tomoko says something stupid that results in her getting hit again. [Unnamed may finally give her name if the print were not so small!] She introduces herself to the stunned and groggy Tomoko. Tomoko and Kii arrive at Tomoko's empty classroom. They sit. They leave, go to a convenience store. They have a long conversation requiring translation.
