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

This chapter returns to Koharu Minami's perspective.

The title panel depicts a Faceless Sachi sitting with Minami and Mako. Faceless Sachi finishes her story on how her and Minami's friendship with Maki and Nori ended. Minami confirms this. A Faceless Chibi Sachi asks the Chibi Mako if, since she still hangs out with the two, they have been "shit-talking" her and Minami. Chibi Mako happily replies that they have not, but they only basically say "hello" to one another. Staring ahead, she suggests that they can make up. Minami interrupts her by offering to trade one of her beans for one of her eggs. Sachi reacquires her face when she startles as she says that she is really not interested in a reconciliation.

The scene shifts to Masaki calling out to the passing Tomoki asking if he wants to eat with her. He sharply insists that he wants to eat alone; she slaps the empty spot on the bench next to her as she sarcastically asks if she does not want to eat with her, and she insists that he just sit down. Tomoki inwardly grouses "annoying."

The scene shift to a view behind Sachi, Minami, and Mako to reveal that Tomoki sits with Masaki in front of them. He asks her if she often eats alone. Masaki explains that her two friends were summoned by the teacher. Mako remarks that Masaki was eating alone today, and they could have eaten together. Minami interrupts this thought by asking Sachi if she wants to trade one of her wieners for one of her beans. With a Face Sachi does not reply; she inwardly complains that if she knew "that guy" would come here today she would not have eaten lunch with Minami and Mako.

Shown: Masaki Quietly Blushing for a Moment

Masaki asks Tomoki if he eats alone. He replies that he does not always, but he then confesses that he realizes that he does often. The panel focuses on her face with her eyes turned to him. She recalls that he once saw her naked. She quietly blushes for a moment as he stares ahead eating his lunch. A bit exasperated, she elbows his arm as she inwardly complains that he should give her some sort of reaction. Tomoki asks her what it is. With a smile as she looks at Masaki and Tomoki, the With a Face Sachi rhetorically asks Minami if it is Yoshida and if she is in her class. Inwardly, she notes that Masaki is the third-year student who has been connected with Tomoki. Continuing her smile, she remarks that Masaki acts like she is uninterested in boys, but she is surprisingly loose. She then rhetorically asks if "that guy" is a second-year student, and she then suggest that Masaki is hungry for the young.

Not Shown: "Subtext" . . . goodness no!

Mako's bangs shade her eyes, and Minami worries that Sachi badmouthed Masaki. She inwardly notes that for some reason Mako becomes annoying when it comes to Masaki. However, Mako seems to suddenly brighten and stare ahead then add that she agrees. She openly wonders what Masaki is thinking when she pursues younger boys during such an important time in her life. This results in a Stunned Chibi Minami. Viewed from behind, Sachi agrees that chasing after a younger boy is unbelievable, and to Minami's sweating shock, Mako agrees. Inwardly, Minami wonders if Mako's response means that today is a day where it is fine to badmouth as she takes on an expression of joy and is surrounded by animesque flowers and streaming light.

In a manner which WataMote Wiki insists contains no subtext, goodness know, Minami ejac . . . er . . . expl . . . um . . . utters forth a stream river of badmouthing.
