Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines! (2024) s01e08 Episode Script

[leaves rustling]
Good.
-Just one more bag.
-Okay.
[MALE BOSS]
Let's go make that report.
[MALE WORKER]
Yes, sir.
[MALE BOSS]
We sure finished early today.
[MALE WORKER]
Yes, sir.
[NUKUMIZU]
Huh?
[sighs]
[footsteps approaching]
All right.
Let's see
what this bad boy's made of.
-Huh?
-[footsteps approaching]
[NUKUMIZU] Komari,
looks like you figured it out.
Sorry, though.
The first sip
of the new faucet goes to--
[gasps]
[NUKUMIZU] You gonna tell me
what's going on now?
[KOMARI]
You'll see in a minute.
Hurry up and open the door.
[NUKUMIZU]
Huh?
[door slides open]
-[SHIKIYA] Boo!
-[both scream]
[slams door]
[KOMARI] Nukumizu!
Push harder! She's coming!
[NUKUMIZU]
It won't close!
-Whoa! Hey! Hey!
-[whimpering]
[groans]
[whimpering]
[knocking on door]
[KOMARI]
Help me! Open the door!
I'm trapped in here!
Hey, stop that.
[wheezing]
[Komari screaming]
[NUKUMIZU]
I understand the first half.
The outfit is
because you were doing
a costume fitting
for the festival.
But why are you here?
[sighs]
[SHIKIYA]
Literature Club.
Your exhibit.
The application
has been found lacking.
I tried to tell your friend,
but
she ran away.
Uh.
[SHIKIYA]
If you don't do it right,
we'll reject you.
Understood?
Yeah, we'll do it right.
We want
No,
I want lots of visitors,
so, I'll do it.
[TAMAKI]
I'm sorry for leaving you guys
with all the prep
for Tsuwabuki Fest.
[NUKUMIZU] Don't worry,
it's not a big deal.
To tell you the truth,
Komari's way more into it
than I am.
[Tamaki chuckles softly]
[TAMAKI]
Good to hear.
I also wanted to talk to you
about the next club president.
Koto and I have entrance exams.
So, we're leaving the club
after the festival.
We were thinking
of asking Komari
if she wanted to take over
for me when I step down.
-As president?
-Yup.
We're eying you
for vice president by the way.
Komari will need
someone in her corner.
[NUKUMIZU] I guess I wouldn't
mind taking on the role.
But you knew that.
It's Komari
you're really worried about.
[KOTO] Of course,
we're worried about her!
We're graduating and leaving
little Komari all alone
and I can barely
stand the thought of it!
Maybe I should stay
one more year
to keep an eye on her.
Koto,
when you say it like that
it feels too real.
We're counting on you.
We're gonna be
background characters
for this year's Tsuwabuki Fest.
We thought letting Komari
handle the prep
for the club's exhibit
would boost her confidence.
Just look after her for us,
will you?
And be nice to her!
Okay.
I'll do everything I can
-to make--
-She prefers
pudding over ice cream.
And she doesn't like
to drink coffee.
She's also not big
on the green parts
of green onions,
so you have
to chop them finely, okay?
I'll remember that
if I ever decide
to make her pork soup.
[KAJU]
So tell me, dear brother.
How are things
going these days?
[NUKUMIZU]
Like at school?
Well, the cafeteria sink
was removed over break
and they changed the plumbing
for the faucets.
[KAJU] Oh,
they changed the faucets, huh?
Yeah,
and I got to test them to see
how much
the flavor had changed.
[KAJU]
Well, isn't that just lovely?
Hey, look at that!
While you were telling
me about the new faucets,
you got a message from Yanami!
It says, "lunch tomorrow
at the fire escape stairs."
Kaju,
why are you checking
my messages
without my permission?
You always act so indifferent
toward Yanami,
I can't be sure
you'll answer without me.
As your sister,
it's my job to make sure
your relationships
are going well.
[NUKUMIZU]
Whoa, hold on!
You'll definitely be able
to make some progress now!
[giggles]
I'll do my best to cook up
a nice lunch for you to share!
[bird squawking]
Don't get the wrong idea,
Nukumizu.
'Kay? It's not about
me being jealous.
As their friend
No, as a member
of the human race
I raise this objection
in the name of decency.
[ANNA] You know
how our class has started
preparations
for Tsuwabuki Fest.
[ANNA]
Remember the theme?
Yeah,
"Halloween on the Corner."
Right.
So, we went
to the nurse's office
to get our costume
measurements taken.
[chomps]
[ANNA] Even though Sosuke
was still sitting there,
Karen started
taking off her clothes!
[ANNA] Of course,
the girl in charge of wardrobe
kicked Sosuke out
as soon as she saw it.
[ANNA] But you won't believe
what he said next.
My bad.
I guess I've gotten used to it.
Unrelated.
But you can have
some of my lunch if you want.
Mean it?
Like, really?
Sure.
Help yourself
to whatever you'd like,
but I highly recommend
the Scotch egg.
It all looks good!
[ANNA]
I think I'll take this.
Seriously?
I made it clear you could have
anything you want
and you pick rice?
Yeah, this is what I wanted.
[NUKUMIZU]
So, um,
sorry to change the subject
but the Lit Club
is doing an exhibit, too.
Do you have any ideas for that?
[ANNA]
Hmm,
what's Komari's plan for it?
All I know is that
she's working
really hard on it.
She said
she wanted to make sure
we got a lot of visitors.
No plan though.
Oh, wow, who knew?
She's a girly girl after all.
[NUKUMIZU]
A girly girl?
[ANNA]
The third-years are quitting
after the festival, right?
Even though her crush
didn't return her feelings,
she still wants to make his
last club activity a good one.
[ANNA]
Good for you, Komari.
She's so innocent.
[NUKUMIZU]
Hmm.
Is that
really what she's doing?
That's really
what she's doing, Nukumizu.
I think it's kind of beautiful.
And she's in line to be
the next president, right?
[NUKUMIZU] Not so fast,
how'd you know about that?
Tsukinoki sent me a message
that said,
"Look out for Komari for me."
And I've got a brilliant idea
for the club's exhibit.
Ready?
Sure, lay it on me.
We're gonna
draw in the crowd with food!
That figures.
[NUKUMIZU]
We don't have enough members
and plus, food has
nothing to do with Lit Club.
[ANNA]
Sure it does!
People write about
food all the time.
It won't be hard to
come up with a theme that fits!
Now, let's find Komari
and get researching!
So, why did you bring us here?
What about the research?
[ANNA]
Try to keep up, Nukumizu.
This area is the perfect
place to take in ideas,
both old and new.
The community
has a long history
of artistic innovation.
Cool,
but how does that help us?
It's obvious.
We're gonna walk around
for a while and like,
soak up the creativity,
which in turn,
will lead to inspiration.
It is obvious, right?
[NUKUMIZU] The more she talks
the less confident she gets.
[ANNA]
Oh, over there!
[KOMARI]
Hey, Nukumizu.
Why'd you guys ask me
to come with you today?
[NUKUMIZU] Well, I noticed
you were having trouble
coming up with a theme
for Tsuwabuki Fest.
Yanami thought
you'd get
some inspiration here.
But are you
Are you sure
I'm not getting in the way?
-[NUKUMIZU] "In the way?"
-I
I just mean,
you and Yanami are going out,
right?
No, absolutely not.
Where on Earth
did you get that idea?
[KOMARI] You guys are
always doing stuff together.
Pay attention.
See otters are cute, right?
[KOMARI]
Otters? Like, the animal?
[NUKUMIZU]
Exactly.
They're super cute
and if everything goes
how they want it to,
they'll eat more than 20%
of their body weight
in a single day.
[KOMARI]
Huh?
[NUKUMIZU] Otters are cute.
They're big eaters.
But those two things
alone aren't enough
to make you
fall in love with them.
That's essentially
what I'm getting at.
Yeah okay.
[ANNA]
Hey, get over here, you two!
I found a shop
I think we should check out!
[ANNA] I'd like
a matcha framboise, please.
What about you, Komari?
[KOMARI] Uh,
I think I'll pass this time.
[chuckles]
[chomps]
[ANNA]
Whoa, it's so good!
-[NUKUMIZU] Here.
-[KOMARI] Huh?
[NUKUMIZU]
I know it's messy,
but I didn't bite it
or anything.
For me?
Are you sure?
It's for research.
All of us should have
at least a little bite.
Oh, okay.
It's research,
that makes sense.
I can't say for sure
but I just can't shake
this weird feeling.
You wouldn't have done that
if I was out of money.
Would you like me to explain
the source of that feeling?
[NUKUMIZU] [groans]
Ow!
[ANNA]
That's the kind of treatment
-I'm talking about!
-[NUKUMIZU] What do you mean?
-What treatment?
-Wow, this is
This is delicious.
[NUKUMIZU]
All right, that's the gist
of what Komari
and I talked about
after we went out yesterday.
We'd like to hear
your thoughts on it.
[Anna growls]
You want my thoughts?
On a conversation you didn't
even involve me in?
[NUKUMIZU]
She saw right through us.
We didn't want the distraction,
so we left her out.
Hmm.
Actually, Yanami,
we have a role in mind
only you can do.
[NUKUMIZU]
I mean should you choose
to accept the responsibility,
that is.
What kind of responsibility?
Well, it's important.
We'd like to ask you
to be our consultant.
I think you would be
the perfect fit.
[ANNA]
Consultant?
That means you're going
to consult with me, right?
[NUKUMIZU] I thought the job
title made it pretty clear,
but yeah, that's right.
We'll consult you.
Oh, now, I get it,
that sounds like
something I can work with.
I bet I would be
the perfect fit.
Well, you've already
done a great job.
We're going forward
with your idea.
The theme
of food and literature
seems like a good one.
[NUKUMIZU]
We'd like to showcase
authors' favorite foods
or maybe foods
that appear in their books.
Yes.
And put them in the exhibit!
Uh-huh.
We're thinking of listing
classic recipes
and putting up some photos.
[ANNA]
Hold on. Photos?
Aren't we going to be
serving actual food?
We didn't sign on
to do a restaurant so we--
[ANNA]
May I have your attention?
[clears throat]
Now, listen
I think you misunderstood me
when I pitched food
as the theme.
Photos and recipes are not
what I was going for!
So, then,
what were you going for?
[ANNA]
Like, don't you picture
Showa-era authors eating
beef hot pot and eel and stuff?
We're in the Literature Club,
so we've gotta try to show
some creative spirit, I mean.
[NUKUMIZU] She really thought
we could put out
a beef hot pot at a festival?
You know
we aren't allowed to cook
in the classrooms though,
right?
And the deadline
for club restaurants
has already passed.
Hey, I just come up
with the ideas here.
You're the one
who's gotta figure out a way
to make them actually happen.
[NUKUMIZU]
Consulting's not her thing.
Um, it says here
that baked sweets are okay
and light snacks.
So, there's that.
[ANNA] My friend
in the Cooking Club said
we can use this room
if we make sure to clean up
after ourselves.
Well, what do you think
we should do now?
[NUKUMIZU]
This was your idea!
Surely
you know some recipes, right?
Um,
I guess I know
how to make fried dough.
[NUKUMIZU]
You do?
Just mix flour and water
and fry it up.
The real key to enjoying is
to let go
of all desire for flavor.
[NUKUMIZU]
That's a depressing snack.
[liquid pouring]
[ANNA]
What a treat!
Well, I'm impressed.
You seem to know
a thing or two about this.
Huh?
Yeah, I've got rugrats at home.
I'm always making
snacks and stuff for them.
Now, all that's left to do
is tie these in
with our exhibit's theme.
[NUKUMIZU]
What's wrong?
Oh,
Yakishio's flying over here.
[wings flapping]
Hey, you guys!
Sure glad
the window wasn't locked.
[ANNA]
Yay, Lemon's here!
We just got done baking cookies
and they're still warm.
Gimme!
[chomps]
Mm, these are seriously yummy!
Well, duh.
I do know how to bake stuff.
[NUKUMIZU]
Um, Komari made them though.
Sweet! Who knew you were
such a domestic Goddess?
Sorry, I haven't been
able to help you
with all this festival stuff.
You have track and other stuff,
so it's okay.
[ANNA] [mumbling]
We really need to hurry up
and find a new
club advisor soon.
[LEMON]
Oh,
we need to hurry up
and find a new club advisor?
[NUKUMIZU]
She actually understood that?
Wait, hold on.
Seriously,
we don't have an advisor?
[ANNA]
Apparently, there was an issue
and she quit a long time ago.
We can't turn in
any applications without one.
[gulps]
Tsukinoki said
we should probably
go ahead and find
a new teacher to help us.
[NUKUMIZU] Why'd you wait
so long to mention that?
So, we definitely want to pick
a teacher we already know
and get along with.
Huh!
[LEMON]
I only know teachers
who are a part
of the Track Club, I guess.
Wait, there is one!
[gasps]
Huh
[AMANATSU]
Huh, you two?
The hell you doing in here?
-[Amanatsu gasps]
-Well
Forget I asked.
Just go take care of that
at home, would you?
[NUKUMIZU] It's not
whatever you're thinking.
We wanted to ask you
for some advice.
You came here together
for advice?
[gasps]
Nope! You two can march
right to the nurse's office
where Konuki'll help you!
Not that, either.
Please, Ms. Amana.
[LEMON] Will you become
the Lit Club's advisor?
Whoa, slow down,
what's this all about?
[NUKUMIZU]
I can explain.
We're in the Literature Club
and it doesn't have
a faculty advisor.
We won't be able
to participate in the festival
unless we can find one.
How about you?
Pretty please?
Aha.
Well, I see your conundrum
and while I would like
to help you guys,
I'm already acting
as an advisor
for the Ping Pong Club.
[sighs]
Of course, you are.
[AMANATSU]
Mmm.
Wait, I've got it!
Don't even worry about a thing,
I'll figure it out.
[NUKUMIZU] First love
lemon for adults, huh?
[NUKUMIZU]
Hmm.
Here, try some of this.
Aah!
[KAJU]
What do you think?
Apparently,
it uses local quail eggs.
[NUKUMIZU]
Nice. It's really good.
[KAJU]
Why'd you suddenly decide
you wanted to go
to the market today anyway?
I don't mind,
but it's a bit out of the blue.
[NUKUMIZU]
Well,
the Lit Club
needs to put snacks out
for our Tsuwabuki Fest exhibit.
We also want
to have a small area
for people to sit and relax,
so I thought I'd come
and look for ideas.
[KAJU]
Interesting.
So, it'll be
like a roadside market
at the school festival.
What kind of snacks
will you guys serve?
I don't know yet.
There's this famous story
about how much Natsume Soseki
loved peanuts.
I was thinking
we could include it
and sell them for really cheap.
Pretty sure
Natsume Soseki was known
for having
quite the sweet tooth.
I once read
sugar-coated peanuts
were his weakness.
Sugar-coated nuts, huh?
I don't think
we have time to whip up
anything that fancy.
[KAJU] If that's all
that's stopping you
why not let
your little sister handle it?
Leave the snack-making to me
and you can focus on the rest!
[phone vibrates]
♪
[phone chimes]
[phone chimes]
[moans]
[whimpering]
[NUKUMIZU]
So, we've decided on the topic
for our exhibit
at Tsuwabuki Fest.
Please look at the sheet
in front of you.
[NUKUMIZU] The theme will be
"Edible Readings."
We'll use literary
greats' favorite foods
to introduce
guests to their writing.
[NUKUMIZU]
We'll also make snacks to sell
and give away
based on the exhibit
with brief explanations.
We're gonna sell some
and give some away?
Well, we can't
charge the little kids
'cause that'd be kinda mean,
you know?
Then why don't we give them
away to everybody?
If we do that,
we'll run out way too fast.
And you'll give stamp cards
to the kids
that are elementary school age
and younger?
That's how we tempt them
to look at the displays.
We'll have
four different ones set up
and there'll be
a stamp station next to each.
You can look over
the details for yourselves,
but Komari will handle
the research displays,
and I plan to take care of all
the snacks and the room setup.
That's awesome!
It sounds like
it's all coming together!
Hmm. We still need
to find an advisor though.
[door slides open]
[KONUKI] Please excuse
the intrusion, everyone.
Amana asked me to stop by,
so I'm the Lit Club's
new faculty advisor,
Sayo Konuki.
I have a feeling we're gonna
have a lot of fun together,
so get excited, kids.
[girls cheering]
[growls softly]
[NUKUMIZU]
Okay,
everything else
has been taken care of.
Now
[pen clicks]
♪
[indistinct chatter]
[NUKUMIZU]
Let's see
I wonder which faucet
Komari prefers to use
around this time?
[water splattering]
[NUKUMIZU]
Bingo.
[water burbling]
[NUKUMIZU]
Hm?
[water trickling]
[paper rustles]
[gasps]
What's that?
[NUKUMIZU]
It's our application to use
a classroom for the festival.
[NUKUMIZU] We need the club
representative's signature.
Hmm.
[tap squeaking]
Uh
[KOMARI]
You got a pen?
Uh, right here.
You sure you're okay?
You don't look so good.
No.
Yeah.
I'll be fine.
You don't need to push yourself
so hard, you know.
You're not in this alone.
Tamaki and Tsukinoki
are still here.
I know that!
I just have to do it myself.
♪
I understand.
See you around.
[door opens]
Come on, let's go!
[chuckles]
Hmm?
[gasps]
Huh
[sighs]
According to my calculations,
the classroom's
an 85 second walk
from this spot.
We can still beat the bell,
even if we need to wait
a minute or two.
[KOMARI]
Your calculations, huh?
They tell me we can stay put
a while longer.
And let the crowd die down
a little bit more.
Hmm.
[KOMARI]
But I'm in a different class,
and it's farther away
than yours is.
[NUKUMIZU]
Then maybe you should put
some pep in your step?
[knocking on door]
[door opens]
Um
Yes?
What do you need help with?
I'm just dropping off
this application form.
Shikiya asked me to correct
and resubmit it.
[Tiara gasps]
So, you must be one of those
Literature Club people then?
Hmm.
Why are you
staring at my chest?
You had better not
try anything weird
just because we're alone
in here!
No, no, I was only reading
at your name tag!
I was trying to read your name.
Basori there.
What's your first name?
Hmm.
Tiara, nosy!
[TIARA]
That a problem for you?
What, has my name bothered you
or inconvenienced you
in some way?
-[HIBARI] Hello.
-[gasps]
[wind whooshing]
[paper rustling]
[HIBARI]
I must say
it's awfully lively in here.
Chairwoman, hi!
[TIARA]
It's so nice to see you!
[HIBARI]
Yeah, you too.
Let me welcome you
to the student council.
Tell me
what brings you here today?
Oh, so, um, it's just paperwork
for Shikiya.
She gave you some
corrections to make, right?
Uh, well, yeah, she did.
Not to worry
your application is accepted.
Oh, that's great, thank you.
The third-years will be
leaving soon enough.
With Shikiya around I've had
to overlook quite a lot.
But I'll be
changing things up a bit.
Hmm.
[HIBARI]
If you want to go to Tsuwabuki,
you better live up
to its reputation.
