Synopsis[]
This chapter takes place immediately after the previous. Tomoko sits on her hotel bed looking her phone while standing between their beds Nemo holds her bear purse. Hina suggests that Tomoko go down to the convenience store and buy something with her, and Tomoko hums an agreement. Leaving the elevator, they encounter two anonymous boys who have bags full of souvenirs. As they walk away, Tomoko observes that the two must have returned from Comiket and suggests that the Akiba hotels must be packed.
In the convenience store, Hina holds a basket full of snacks. Tomoko adds an iced coffee as she states she is going to buy it as well. Hina asks her if she loves iced coffee to which Tomoko responds that somehow she is able to drink it.

Shown: Uber Eats . . . probably.
As they wait for the elevator an anonymous girl waits behind them. After they enter, the girl watches her phone while Tomoko stands behind her. When they reach their floor – 9 – Hina politely lets the girl leave the elevator first. They pass her ringing a bell to a room and hear her introduce herself as "Noa" and ask the occupant to please take care of her.
Inside their room, Hina sits on her bed with the snacks, while Tomoko sits on hers with her coffee. Hina explains that she put the ice cream in the fridge and asks if they should begin eating some of the snacks. Tomoko tells her to never mind that, and she asks if that was a "delivery" (デリバリー・deribarī) who got off. Hina asks her if "delivery" means something like "Uber Eats" (ウー●ーイーツ・ū●āītsu), with the censorship in the Japanese Orignal, but Tomoko corrects her that the girl is a "delivery (デリバル・deribaru)."
Hina repeats the term then asks the surprised Tomoko what a deribaru is.
Sweating, Tomoko explains that a deribaru is a girl you call for delivery who also provides erotic services. The now sweating Hina rhetorically asks if she means the girl just now. Over a background of the peeping chicks, a chibi sweating Hina asks if she means they are doing such things in the next room. "Probably," replies the chibi Tomoko. Returning to normal depiction, the still sweating Hina tries to suggest that doing those sort of things for money, but Tomoko interrupts her by reminding that otaku use money to buy erotic dōjin which is just the same, but Hina protests they are entirely different.
Hina then asks what sort of erotic services are involved; Tomoko admits that she does not know and checks her phone. She reads out a number of "XXXX"'d out services with "deep kissing," "full-body lip (全身リップ・zenshin rippu), and "69" not censored. Hina sheepishly thinks that that was far more erotic than she expected, and she does not know what most of the terms mean.

Hina looks down gathering her knees to her chest and whispers that that means the two are doing such things just next door. She had thought it merely involved "fondling boobs. . . ." Tomoko dismisses this with a "yeah, right."
Sensing blood in the water, Tomoko slyly continues that despite all of her teasing of "Okada-san," "Nemo" is not immune to the erotic. When Hina asks why she would bring this up all of a sudden, Tomoko explains that Hina was disturbed by the lewd materials at Comiket, she does not know what a deribaru is, and she does not know what "xxxxx" and "xx" are. Hina pleasantly asks rhetorically if knowing about erotic things makes Tomoko important, then observes how amazing it is that she knows so much without having any actual experience. A chibi Tomoko explodes that it is just common sense that Hina does not know. A chibi Hina happily suggests that in the "world of the Net" that must count as "common sense."

Red: nekuramuttsuri
Yellow: chōdokyūhentai
Tomoko again explodes that even without the internet, "Yuri-chan" and "Komiyama-san" know it. Inwardly, she swears realizing after just saying it that the two have nothing in common as she pictures Yuri with the title "gloomy morose (ネクラむっつり・nekuramuttsuri)," and Kotomi as "ultimate high-level pervert (超ド級変態・chōdokyūhentai)."
Trying to recover, Tomoko "suggests" that since Hina may have to sleep her way up the ladder like that girl, she might as well try to increase her "erotic immunity." Hina replies more seriously that Tomoko should not rely on believing what otaku post on the internet since it is not as if she has seen anything herself.
Both sit in silence on their individual beds.
Over a view of the window with Hina's stuffed bear, a sweating chibi Tomoko announces that she will take a shower.
Hina sits in silence for a moment then inwardly regrets what happened. It is not how she imagined it, and she feels if it was anyone else, she would not have become so upset. Meanwhile in the shower, Tomoko admits to herself that telling an "aspiring voice actress" that she has to sleep around to advance would probably upset her. She also figures that Hina would not appreciate erotic jokes. Lathering her hair, she confesses that she got too involved with the moment and should apologize to Hina quickly.
Hina opens the curtain and with her hands clasped she slowly utters with a pause between each syllable an apology to Tomoko.

However, she sees that Tomoko has her eyes closed as she lathers her hair. With a stunned look, Hina wonders if she should wait for Tomoko to rinse. Over a background of grey, Hina lets out an "E?"
Tomoko dries her hair with a towel and approached Hina who is sitting on her bed with a bit of sweat. Tomoko says, "Nemo" then starts to apologize for the things she said, but Hina interrups her to say it is fine and she is sorry for what she said. With a bit of a shocked look, with a bead of sweat, Hina then adds that "other than that" but trails off. As Tomoko waits for Hina to finish, Hina's view centers on Tomoko's shorts, and she then apologizes and insists it is nothing. Looking away toward the television, Tomoko announces that since she is out of the bath, why do they not dig into the ice cream. Hina quickly adds that there is anime about to start.
The two sit on their beds, in their pajamas, consuming ice cream as they watch. With a view of an anime girl, Hina notes that the character has silver hair and openly wonders if her "lower hair" is also. A chibi Tomoko snaps why she would ask that. Happy Chibi Hina explains that she saw illustrations of naked girls at Comiket and their hairs matched, even those with red and blue hair. Upset Chibi Tomoko grouses in silence.
Sweating, Tomoko asks if she is bothered by their earlier argument and assures her that she does not have to tell lewd jokes for her sake. Hina laughs it off but thinks that she is curious about Tomoko's naked body and why she dyed her "lower hair!" Returning to watching the anime Hina notes that a character just entered the bath. After a pause where she eats some ice cream, she laments that they show adds light so they cannot see the color of the character's "lower hair." Tomoko helpfully muses that it is a televised anime and, with a face like the character has, she probably shaves.
Blushing, Hina explodes that it is their first anime together, so why should they watch it with such a mindset. Shocked, Tomoko reminds Hina that she raised the point. With a view of Hina's stuffed bear against the window, Hina retorts that it is because Tomoko keeps doing "weird/perverted" things then demands "why silver color?!" Tomoko screams back surprise that she would know, then accuses her of peeping at her, declaring Hina a pervert.
Characters[]
In order of appearance:
- Tomoko Kuroki
- Hina Nemoto
- Akane Okada (mentioned)
- Yuri Tamura (imagined)
- Kotomi Komiyama (imagined)
Referbacks[]
- Down Below: Tomoko dyes her "lower hair" in Chapter 170, and Miho Narita noticed and publicly asked her why she dyed them in Chapter 175-1.
- Freak Akane Time!: Hina tried to shock Akane with a visit to a sex shop in Chapter 139 only to have it backfire. In Chapter 173, Hina assumes Akane is dating Yoshinori Kiyota and asks her what she would do if he wanted to touch her breasts or have sex with her. Akane politely dismisses this and pleasantly asks why she suddenly would bring up such lewd subjects then suggests it is Tomoko's influence on her.
- Pretty in Pink: Tomoko should not complain, because she peeped at Hina in Chapter 73, then later tried to compliment Hina on the artistic merits of her Road to a Christening, which becomes a point of contention that Tomoko uses to needle Hina. From the Fair is Fair Department, Hina can now respond "silver" whenever Tomoko says "pink."
- The Mojo Likes Iced Coffee: When Tomoko goes to convenience store with Hina to provide themselves of snacks, she buys ice coffee, this is the same kind of drink that she ordered at cafeteria in Chapter 3 when she met with Yū again after starting prep school.
- "Won't Someone Think of the A-chan?!": Tomoko mentions to Hina about how she wanted to poke Akane in Chapter 139. Teasing Akane in this way is something which she has tried to do since Chapter 129.
- "You should up your lewdness immunity": Many times along the series Hina has tried to assert how superior she is regarding sexual stuff, specially for teasing Akane, while she is actually pretty innocent and she ends up reacting afraid before erotic material, like it was seen in Chapters 139 and 144.
- "I didn't get to go to the study camp": Hina did not attend the cram school camp because she had voice classes.
Cultural References[]
- デリヘル: because WataMote Wiki cares.
- 全身リップ: WataMote Wiki could only find the untransated Japanese Wiki article which affirms it as licking the entire body. Because WataMote Wiki needs to get outside more often. . . .
Trivia[]
- "Stroke's the Word": the kanji 超 appears to be missing a stroke.
- "I just need to make a move!": In Chapter 177-2, Hina assumed Tomoko was going to peep at her while she is in the shower shower and attempted to catch her. Ironically, it is she who ends up peeping at Tomoko.
- "I wonder if her pubes are the same": In the same way Fūka does in Chapter 174 and almost all remaining girls in Chapter 175-1, Hina becomes obsessed with the reason Tomoko dyed "those hairs".
- "You don't have yourself to say dirty jokes for my sake": Tomoko said to Hina a pretty similar line to the one she used with Yuri in Not-Disneyland in Chapter 130.
Memorable Moments[]
- Girl Talk: Tomoko and Hina have tried to act more adult and experienced than they are.
- Tomoko tried to imply that she is not a virgin to Emiri Uchi in Chapter 80, while Hina tried to pretend she knows what eroge is. Both call one another out on their real inexperience, and both seem to ultimately accept the criticism.
- WataMote Wiki may read into this too much, but in Chapter 173 Hina tries to talk about sex with Akane by asking her what she would do if Yoshinori Kiyota wanted to fondle her or have sex with her. Her transition from one to the other revealed her innocence. It seems curious that she felt a prostitute and client would engage in just "heavy petting" rather than Other Therapeutic Options render'd in the Japanese with "XXXX."
- Coming of Age: which is what, ultimately, the series is about for the characters.
- "Common Sense": WataMote Wiki confesses that is seems interesting that Tomoko chooses Kotomi and Yuri as examples. Tomoko denigrates Kotomi for many reasons, including her crush on her brother, but Hina rarely interacts with Kotomi. If any character has thus far demonstrated zero interest in "erotic" topics, it Yuri.
- Heeeeeeeeerrrrrrreeee's . . . HINA!": why does Hina open the curtain rather than wait a few minutes to apologize to Tomoko when she is done with her shower?
