Far from being helpful with 〜どころか

藤原くんはだいたい正しい » Volume 1 » Page 140

Fujiwara catches Hitsuji writing inspirational messages with his signature on wristbands. Hitsuji explains that female classmates requested she get Fujiwara to sign them, but she couldn’t find the right time to ask him, so she took on the task herself.

Fujiwara vetoes the idea, but when he sees Hitsuji apologize to their classmates, admitting that she wrote them herself, Fujiwara tells the classmates to pretend as if he wrote them.

After the wristbands are handed out, Hitsuji thanks Fujiwara and the council.

ヒツジ:
「また みんなに(たす)けてもらって…」
"Again, everyone came to my rescue..."
(やく)()どころか迷惑(めいわく)かけて…」
"Far from being helpful, I caused you trouble..."
