Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines! (2024) s01e06 Episode Script

[MALE ANNOUNCER] The train
will be pulling in shortly.
[AYANO]
Hmm.
[AYANO] Just be honest with me,
Nukumizu.
[AYANO]
I can handle it.
[NUKUMIZU]
Huh?
I wasn't expecting her
to find someone new,
but since it's you,
I guess it's cool--
[NUKUMIZU] Whoa, whoa, whoa
that's not what's going on!
You were in
a dressing room together!
True.
[NUKUMIZU]
You make a valid point.
[NUKUMIZU] I guess we've both
got some explaining to do.
[AYANO]
What do you mean by that?
[NUKUMIZU] What were you
and Yakishio doing together?
[NUKUMIZU] We all saw you two
walking by the station.
Wait a sec.
We weren't doing anything
we shouldn't have been.
We were talking, that's all.
[groans]
Honestly,
I needed to ask her advice.
Her advice on what?
[bell dings]
Dating.
Since I've never actually
gone out with a girl before
I felt like
I needed some pointers.
[NUKUMIZU] Okay,
but why'd you ask Yakishio?
Well, she's my friend
and plus, she's really popular.
I figured she'd understand
how girls think.
Ah?
[AYANO] Alright,
now it's your turn to explain.
[AYANO] What were you doing
in that dressing room?
We were, uh, well, you know,
just talking about
love and stuff.
'Cause I needed
some dating advice.
[AYANO]
That doesn't make much sense.
[AYANO] I mean, come on,
aren't you friends
with all those girls
in the Lit Club?
Why'd you ask Chihaya?
[gasps]
I get it now!
The girl
that you're interested in
must be in the literature club
with you.
[NUKUMIZU]
Uh, sure, let's go with that.
Lemon is cute.
[NUKUMIZU]
Relax, it's not her.
Cool.
Well, in that case,
you can leave it to me.
[NUKUMIZU]
Wait, what?
[AYANO]
I know I've got a reputation
for being dense
about this kind of thing
and now is my chance
to rectify that.
[AYANO]
Give her a call.
[AYANO]
We've got a group date to plan.
[chuckles softly]
[chuckles nervously]
[NUKUMIZU] Sorry for
dragging you into this mess.
Whatever,
I was free today anyway.
[ANNA]
Plus, I'm so relieved
Asagumo found out
he wasn't cheating on her.
[ANNA]
Oh yeah, thanks.
[AYANO]
Sorry we're late!
Hey, it's good to see you both.
I'm glad you came.
I think we'll have
a lot of fun today.
[chuckles]
[NUKUMIZU] The only one here
who doesn't realize
this is a setup is poor Ayano.
[NUKUMIZU] Oh,
and I guess Yakishio thinks
we met up to actually
hang out together.
Oh!
[ANNA]
Hold it!
[NUKUMIZU]
What?
This is summer break.
Three girls, two boys
and we're in high school.
You see where I'm going
with this, right?
Uh, haven't a clue.
Five vibrant people
practically glowing with youth!
[ANNA]
I did my hair, accessorized,
even painted my toes!
[ANNA] So why the hell
are we at a place like this?
[ANNA] An underground
museum, are you kidding?
[ANNA] You and Ayano
might like this kind of stuff,
but what about us girls?
We'll be bored to tears.
[gasps]
You have to come check out
these amazing pieces of mica!
Think how many capacitors
they could make
with just
a single one of these!
[LEMON]
Guys, there's a real minecart!
[LEMON] Does anyone know
if we're allowed to ride it?
Or not.
I guess I'll be crying alone.
[girl giggles]
Hey!
I'm willing to bet
it was your idea
to come here today.
Huh?
Well, kinda.
Ayano and I both thought
this looked like a cool place.
[NUKUMIZU] But it was his idea
to have everyone meet up
and explore it together.
[LEMON] Ah, so Mitsuki's
the mastermind here.
[LEMON]
When did you and he
become such good friends,
anyway?
[NUKUMIZU]
Well, you know,
it just sort of
happened over time.
[LEMON]
Mmm.
Uh.
[NUKUMIZU] Looks like
she's having fun now.
I guess
we shouldn't fall behind.
Let's hang back.
I don't want to spoil
Mitsuki and Chihaya's fun.
Those two should try to get in
plenty of quality time today.
Right, but still.
[LEMON]
I know that look.
[LEMON] You're worrying about
my feelings again, aren't you?
[Lemon chuckles softly]
Well, quit.
'Cause there's no need.
I'm like,
their biggest cheerleader now,
so you can stop
looking out for me.
Seriously, I'm cool.
[Nukumizu sighs]
[LEMON]
They're happy.
And so am I.
I wish them all the best.
I know you always act
really silly and stuff,
but you've got
a mature side, too.
'Course I do
Are you just now noticing that?
♪
[CHIHAYA]
Mitsuki, look.
This says the show even has
some hidden Easter eggs in it.
You think we should see
which one of us
can find the most?
Yeah, that sounds like
it could be fun.
Think you'd wanna join in
on the hunt?
Who, me?
[AYANO]
We'll give you and Yanami
some space during the show.
[AYANO]
Go get her, bro.
Uh, could you please
not do that?
You can thank me later.
[AYANO]
Come on, Lemon.
[AYANO] The three of us
will check it out together.
I'm sure you and Asagumo
would enjoy it
much more without me.
Oh, no, it's all right.
I'd love it if you joined us.
[CHIHAYA]
I was hoping we could
get to know each other
a bit better,
so this works out great.
That's sweet of you.
[LEMON] But really, you should
take this opportunity
to watch it alone with Mitsuki.
Yeah, but.
Okay, Yana, Nuku, let's go!
Hey hold up!
[AYANO]
I think it's better if we--
Mitsuki!
The shows about to start
so will you please
stop arguing already!
[LEMON] The three of us
will sit together.
[LEMON] You and Asagumo
will sit together.
[LEMON] Got it?
Good deal.
[LEMON]
Move out.
[grunts]
[Lemon inhales]
[Lemon exhales]
Look, we came here as a group,
but she's your girlfriend.
And that means
putting her first,
no matter what.
Yeah, I,
don't know what I was thinking.
No kidding!
I mean, you're the guy
I fell in love with once.
Why don't you
get your act together, man!
[gasps]
[NUKUMIZU]
I know, right?
[NUKUMIZU]
If he's such a great guy
that Yakishio
fell in love with him,
why isn't he more..
Oh, boy.
[LEMON]
Hm?
[gasps]
[gasps]
Wait a sec.
Did you just say
"fell in love?"
[LEMON]
Oh, uh, that wasn't.
[LEMON] I was just.
I didn't mean. No!
Lemon!
[CHIHAYA]
Mitsuki, wait.
[CHIHAYA]
Don't go after her.
But she's upset.
[CHIHAYA] I'm asking you
to put me first!
Alright?
I'm your girlfriend, not her!
Ah..
[AYANO]
Hm.
[AYANO]
Sorry.
[ANNA]
Uh, Nukumizu?
[panting]
[NUKUMIZU]
What am I doing?
[NUKUMIZU]
Running after her?
[NUKUMIZU]
My role's in the background.
[panting]
[NUKUMIZU]
Unfortunately, at this point.
[NUKUMIZU] Yakishio doesn't
have a leading man
to chase after her.
♪
[footsteps approaching]
[Nukumizu panting]
♪
[LEMON] I'm gonna go ahead
and take the bus home.
[NUKUMIZU]
Oh, okay.
[NUKUMIZU] Would you mind
if I wait with you
until it gets here?
[LEMON]
Uh, I guess not.
[LEMON] But you better
talk to me if you do.
[NUKUMIZU]
Right.
[NUKUMIZU]
Um,
so, that club project
we're working on.
[NUKUMIZU] Have you decided
what you want to write?
[LEMON]
Seriously?
[LEMON] Isn't this
when you're supposed
to try and cheer a girl up
with a funny story
or something?
[LEMON]
Eh, it doesn't matter.
[LEMON]
We can talk about club stuff.
[LEMON] I may try writing
a children's story.
[NUKUMIZU]
Really?
Sure.
A long, long time ago,
in a faraway place,
there was a little girl.
[LEMON] She loved running
more than anything else.
[LEMON] One day, she ran
right into a boy
she hadn't met before.
[LEMON] The boy spent
absolutely all his time
reading books.
[LEMON] And he loved
reciting passages to the girl
from the ones
he treasured most.
[LEMON] The two became
the best of friends,
but she learned
the boy was actually a prince
and that when he grew up,
he would have to return home
to his castle.
The little girl
wanted to be invited
to go to the castle with him,
but she didn't know
the proper etiquette,
nor would she know
how to dance at the ball.
[LEMON] When the prince saw
how sad the girl looked
he decided he would
teach her how to dance.
[LEMON] The girl practiced
all the steps
as hard as she could.
[LEMON] She practiced
and practiced until one day,
it was decided that she could
accompany him to the castle.
[LEMON] And they lived
happily ever after.
[LEMON]
Thanks a lot.
[LEMON]
Tell everyone sorry.
But wait.
What happened to the prince
and the girl after that?
[LEMON]
That was the whole story.
[LEMON] Fairy tales always end
with "happily ever after,"
so you know
everything worked out.
[door shuts]
[hone vibrates]
[Nukumizu sighs]
[phone chimes]
[sighs]
[phone vibrates]
[groans]
[CHIHAYA] Hey, thanks.
I know it's really late.
It's cool, no big deal.
[CHIHAYA]
You haven't been able to
get ahold of Yakishio
at all, have you?
[NUKUMIZU]
Hm.
[CHIHAYA] This is what I get
for waffling on how I feel.
[NUKUMIZU]
Huh?
[cars honking]
[CHIHAYA] Back when I claimed
I wouldn't stand in their way,
that was all talk,
but I shouldn't
have stopped him
when he decided to chase
after Yakishio before.
[NUKUMIZU] I don't think
there's any point
in blaming yourself.
I'm so tired of the drama.
Uh..
[CHIHAYA] If Mitsuki actually
has feelings for Yakishio,
I should break up with him.
[CHIHAYA]
It's best for everyone.
[NUKUMIZU]
You've got it all wrong.
[NUKUMIZU] You weren't
just making things up
when you told Ayano
that you had feelings
for him right?
[NUKUMIZU]
Also
[NUKUMIZU] If you two
did break up because of this
it'd probably hurt Yakishio
more than anyone else.
[gasps]
[gasps]
Oh no.
I'm not trying to
make you feel bad, I swear.
[sulking]
[grunts]
[NUKUMIZU]
Asagumo,
you think from now on
you could trust me
to deal with him?
[CHIHAYA]
Sure,
but at least
let me keep using this.
[NUKUMIZU] Promise me
you won't use that thing!
[NUKUMIZU]
Just no.
[CHIHAYA]
Fine.
[footsteps receding]
[Nukumizu sighs]
That counts as a promise, okay!
[sighs]
[phone ringing]
Hey, what's going on?
[KOTO] Good, you're up.
Can we talk?
Sure, I guess.
I heard about
what went down with Yakishio.
That must've been rough.
[NUKUMIZU] Yeah,
it was kind of a disaster.
Figured as much.
'Cause she took off.
She went to visit
her grandmother
over in Shinshiro.
[KOTO] So make sure you clear
your schedule tomorrow, okay?
Uh, why?
I don't think I'm understanding
where you're going with this.
It's obvious, dude.
Let's all show up there
together
and cheer Yakishio back up.
[indistinct chatter]
This is so weird.
What the heck am I doing here?
[MOTHER] Do you want
to eat right now?
[BOY]
Yeah, I'm hungry!
[MOTHER]
Okay, let's sit down.
[BOY] Wow!
It looks so yummy!
[MOTHER]
But it's still hot.
[ANNA] I've been thinking
about sugar a lot lately.
[NUKUMIZU] Oh, yeah?
Deep thoughts then?
[ANNA]
Shut up.
[ANNA]
About ten thousand years ago,
humans shifted
from hunting and gathering
to an agricultural-based
lifestyle, right?
[ANNA]
So, they essentially shifted
to a sugar-based lifestyle.
[NUKUMIZU]
Wow, fascinating.
[NUKUMIZU] Can't wait to hear
what comes next.
[ANNA]
It wouldn't be an exaggeration
to say that humans
are dependent upon sugar.
[ANNA] So,
it seems like the right time
for me to reevaluate
the kind of relationship
I want to have
with something so addictive.
[NUKUMIZU]
Circling back to.
You ate way too much somen
and started gaining some--
[ANNA]
I have not gained weight!
In fact, my friend,
your Yanami has re-achieved
her perfect body!
[KOTO] Pretty sure
plum jam belongs on the left.
[KOMARI]
Nuh-uh.
[KOMARI]
Plum jam goes on the right.
[KOTO]
It doesn't feel like deer curry
would be on the left, though.
[KOTO] The sourness of plum jam
makes it taste like
it's never even had
a naughty thought, you know?
Nope.
That's exactly
why it goes on the right side.
Generational shift, you know?
[NUKUMIZU] What in the world
are these two doing?
Oh, Nukumizu.
Why don't you weigh in
on this discussion?
I'd prefer not to.
Just listen to
this theory for me.
It's sad but true.
Certain BL fans
will sexualize anything,
even a pencil and eraser,
and assign one as the top
and the other as the bottom.
Isn't that exactly
what you guys were doing?
It's merely a new way
of looking at things.
Kinda like
retraining your brain.
[NUKUMIZU]
So, what was all that stuff
about "right"
and "left" before?
When you write out
the words "top and bottom,"
"top" is on the left.
So that means the right
represents the bottom.
It's a simple concept.
Like Morse code for us nerds.
And that means
we can have debates
even with people around.
[NUKUMIZU]
That doesn't mean you should!
But calling the spicier one
the top feels like a cop-out.
Yes, but the curry's
passionate spiciness
could injure his partner.
There, don't you get it now?
I think I do!
He can't help being so
dangerously hot and bothered.
Just touching his lover
is a risk.
Oh my God!
That is so hot!
That's enough.
I think
it's about time we leave.
[car accelerates]
[FEMALE GPS] Proceed
to the designated route.
[NUKUMIZU]
Is this really the way
to get to Yakishio's place?
[NUKUMIZU]
Feels like we're just driving
deeper into the mountains.
[KOTO] No worries.
We have our trusty GPS.
Sure hope
we don't go over a cliff.
[NUKUMIZU] So how did you know
she was visiting
her grandmother's place,
anyway?
[KOTO]
Apparently, she hasn't shown up
to track practice lately,
either.
So, the president
talked to me about it
and we decided to pay a visit
to Yakishio's mom.
[KOTO] Turns out she's been
worried about her, too,
so she told us
where to find her.
[car halts]
[chokes]
[KOTO]
We have arrived!
[FEMALE GPS]
You have arrived.
[NUKUMIZU] There's no way
the Yakishio clan
lives in an old tunnel!
[KOTO] Yeah,
we got a bit turned around.
Could you please give me
the address one more time?
All right.
Thank you.
[ANNA] Nukumizu, look at
the bridge and waterfall!
[ANNA] The light's good here,
so go downstream
and risk life and limb
to take a photo I can post!
[NUKUMIZU]
As long as you don't mind
if your phone
gets swept away with me.
[laughs]
[ANNA]
'Kay, I'm all ready now!
[NUKUMIZU] What are
you looking for, Komari?
[KOMARI]
Shh!
I found one, a crab.
Oh, a river crab?
Cool where?
Keep your voice down
or it'll hide
and won't come back out.
[water splashes]
What are you doing,
making me look like
a big idiot over here!
[ANNA]
Since when have you ever shown
any interest
in river crabs anyway?
[KOMARI]
There it is!
[KOMARI]
Crabby!
[ANNA]
Komari's crabby, too.
[ANNA] You guys really
love crabs that much?
Yeah.
Is it 'cause they taste good?
Come on, stop being a grump.
Why don't we take
a video instead.
[ANNA]
Oh, I like that.
[ANNA]
You're getting the idea now.
[NUKUMIZU]
Why so shy?
Well, when you put me
on the spot
and expect me to move around,
I kinda don't know what to do.
Couldn't you just sing a song?
Like a nursery rhyme.
[ANNA] I dunno,
that might be kinda pathetic.
You think I should?
[gasps]
What, you see something else?
Was it a king crab this time?
Or a snow crab?
Well, close
but it's actually
something even rarer.
-Oh yeah?
- A horsehair crab?
[shouts]
[screaming]
[birds chirping]
[ANNA]
This is a dream come true.
I'm in a real clawfoot bathtub.
I guess this used to be
somebody's vacation home.
[LEMON] Grandma said
she bought the house back
when she was
a college professor.
[Anna excited]
An ex-college professor's
vacation home?
Hey, can I take a pic?
[ANNA]
I've got flaunting to do!
[LEMON]
Huh?
[LEMON]
What does that even mean?
[NUKUMIZU] I'm glad
we met up with Yakishio,
but what should we go do now?
[KOTO]
There's nothing to do now.
Seems like her being okay
should be enough.
That's what I meant though.
It'd be one thing if she'd just
talk to us about it
but she's acting
happy go lucky.
It makes it harder
to bring stuff up.
[KOTO]
You have a really bad habit
of jumping to your own
conclusions, you know.
Fair.
What do you care
if she fakes it
'til she makes it?
She just needs a friend
who'll let her be herself.
Okay, Komari, get up!
-[KOTO] Your turn.
-[KOMARI] What?
[KOMARI] But I, I don't have
any sore muscles!
[KOTO] Come on. Sit.
[KOMARI] Wait please stop
[Komari screams]
[birds chirping]
Feel so good.
So, what are you guys
doing here anyway?
Oh, right.
You know, we just
randomly came to hang out.
-No, you didn't.
-Huh?
Yeah, well, um.
Thank you, though.
[LEMON]
For looking out for me.
[door opens]
I'm home, dear.
Oh my we have guests?
Yeah!
Sorry to surprise you, Grandma!
[KOTO] Please pardon
the intrusion, ma'am.
[KOTO] We're all members
of the same
literature club at school.
Nice to meet you.
Please make yourselves at home.
I know!
[LEMON'S GRANDMA]
This would be a perfect night
to order some sushi!
Is there anything
you kids can't eat?
Oh, no, we couldn't possibly
impose on you like that.
[screams]
We're all good!
Bring on any kind
of fish you want!
[ALL]
Now, let's eat!
[LEMON'S GRANDMA]
Yes, let's eat.
[bites]
This fish is so tender
and delicious.
[LEMON'S GRANDMA]
How is it?
[NUKUMIZU] Komari, you should
hurry up and grab some.
The sushi'll disappear
way faster than you'd think.
I-I have never eaten
salmon roe before though.
[KOMARI]
I'm kinda freaked out.
[NUKUMIZU] Yeah, I wouldn't
start with that one then.
Here, try these instead.
I think you'll like them.
It's sea urchin and mollusk.
[gulping]
Oh, well, I've never had
those before either.
[LEMON]
Let's help clean up.
[ALL]
'Kay!
[LEMON]
I'll wipe the table.
[ANNA] Okay.
Then I'll take this stuff away.
Do you ever get
lonely living alone.
Way up here in the mountains?
[LEMON'S GRANDMA]
These days I have the internet,
so that helps me pass the time.
And my granddaughter
thoughtfully
brings guests over,
so I get to play host.
[LEMON]
Hey, everybody.
It's late, so why don't you
spend the night here?
There are plenty
of extra rooms.
I really appreciate the offer
but I didn't bring
any other clothes with me
[NUKUMIZU]
Wait a minute.
[NUKUMIZU]
Yanami totally changed
into a different outfit
after falling into the river,
didn't she?
[NUKUMIZU] Um, hey,
so what's with the bags?
[NUKUMIZU]
Were you actually planning
to stay overnight all along?
Yeah, did I forget to tell you?
That appears to be the case.
Isn't it rude of us
to just barge in, though?
Oh, it's fine.
I would be happy to host
all of you for the night.
[NUKUMIZU] No, really.
You don't--
Just let Grandma
take care of everything.
[gasps]
Huh?
[chuckles nervously]
[chuckles nervously]
