Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines! (2024) s01e10 Episode Script

[birds chirping]
[door slides open]
[door slides shut]
[bird chirping]
Uh-hmm.
[car horn honks]
[KOMARI]
Huh?
[car door shuts]
[HAYATO]
Wait a minute, Yuki,
I don't think
I'm ready for this yet!
Weird.
What's up?
What are you doing here?
There was no way I would let
my sleepy little Komari
go to school on her lonesome.
[KOMARI]
Hm.
[HAYATO]
Oh, it might be too tight.
-I guess it's bigger than it
looks. -[KOTO] Dirty, huh?
Well, I only play this one
on very special occasions.
-I told you I'm a size 14!
-Good grief.
[YUKI] Now,
just hold still for me, okay?
[HAYATO]
Don't put it in!
[KOMARI]
Turn down the volume, jeez!
[Hayato screams]
[door opens]
[NUKUMIZU]
Pardon me.
[gasps]
Wait, what are you doing here?
-Tiara, say it.
-[TIARA] Huh?
Come on, please just once.
"Meow," just like that.
[TIARA]
Sorry, but even for you,
-that's a little too weird.
-This is the Student Council
-office, right?
-[SHIKIYA] You're gonna
refuse
the chairwoman's request?
Really?
Ugh, fine, you win, I'll do it.
[SHIKIYA]
"Meow."
[TIARA]
Okay, um. Meow!
[whimpering]
[clears throat]
Sorry about that.
Is there anything
I can help you with, meow?
Yeah, here's a picture
of our completed exhibit.
Great, then we've officially
received it.
Say the word.
We've officially received it,
meow!
[NUKUMIZU] What am I being
exposed to here?
[door slides open]
Hey, you're late,
where have you been?
[chuckles softly]
Yeah, well,
you got here super early today.
[KOMARI]
Oh,
that's because Tsukinoki
gave me a ride.
[KOMARI]
So, Nukumizu?
Huh?
For real, thank you.
Um, the room looks great.
[KOMARI] It's obvious
how hard you worked
to make the displays
cover everything I wrote.
[KOMARI]
It's perfect.
[NUKUMIZU]
Asagumo did this part.
Uh,
I mean, you should thank
Yakishio's friend for it.
She's the one
who did the layout.
[KOMARI]
Oh, that's cool.
Still,
you printed it out so nicely.
[NUKUMIZU]
The president ended up
giving us a hand with that.
Super impressive, huh?
[KOMARI]
Oh, well,
what about
the room decorations?
They decor was
actually Tsukinoki's idea.
All those guys got roped in
by Yana--
[NUKUMIZU]
Hm?
[KOMARI] Would you let me
compliment you on something?
Oh, what's this?
You want to pat me on the back?
Nice, feel free to shower me
with compliments and praise.
[KOMARI]
Drop dead.
[chuckles softly]
[NUKUMIZU] Yanami said she has
some free time this afternoon
and can take over for a while.
Oh,
and our teacher said
they'll probably come by
after their assembly as well.
-Right, sounds good.
-[PA ringing]
[HOKOBARU] Good morning,
ladies and gentlemen.
This is your Student Council.
We are expecting
a large number
of visitors today,
so please remember that
each and every one of you
represents
Tsuwabuki High School,
and because of that,
we'd like to remind you
not to do anything that
may tarnish our reputation.
[HOKOBARU]
So, without further ado,
the 98th Tsuwabuki Fest
has officially begun.
[crackers bursting]
♪
[MALE STUDENT]
Who's hungry? We're open!
-[BOY] Thank you.
-[both chuckle softly]
That kid just told me
he read every single one
of the picture-book reports
we put up.
Looked like he also decided
to buy a pancake from us, huh?
[GIRL]
Excuse me.
[NUKUMIZU]
Hi.
If you can
collect all the stamps,
we'll give you a fun treat.
[GIRL]
Hey, thanks!
[girl chuckles]
[NUKUMIZU]
Hey,
maybe it's easier
to talk to people
who are younger than me.
A collaboration between
literary works and snack food?
That's quite
an intriguing concept.
-Let's check it out.
-[NUKUMIZU] Uh, sure.
An inspection?
[HOKOBARU] [chuckles]
You do get right to the point.
You may see it
that way if you like.
This is quite a good exhibit.
[HOKOBARU]
But, unfortunately,
the Lit Club
has been in trouble
countless times in the past.
If there's a next time
Would we dissolve?
[smirks]
My, my.
[gasps]
[HOKOBARU] That
may be a little too severe.
How about something more
along the lines
of a temporary dissolution?
What, what exactly
do you mean by that?
I'm not sure, to be frank
but I guess
if it happens three times,
then you're out.
But I'm not sure.
[NUKUMIZU]
Is the Student Council okay.
[Tiara panting]
[TIARA]
Chairwoman,
we're on an extremely tight
inspection schedule, meow!
Meow?
What in the world are you doing
in a place like this, meow?
[NUKUMIZU] This is
the Literature Club's exhibit.
Oh, that make sense, meow.
In that case,
please excuse me, meow.
I'll be on my way then.
Oh, and also, Chairwoman,
when will you be
changing into costume, meow?
[HOKOBARU]
Huh?
I wasn't intending to.
Meow?
[TIARA] But I could've sworn
Shikiya said you were going
[SHIKIYA]
I'm impressed.
-[both gasp]
-So good job.
[NUKUMIZU]
Tell the truth,
have you been lying
to the vice chairwoman?
Well, Tiara is,
so cute and gullible.
[cat meows]
[machine beeps]
[crowd cheering]
[Sosuke laughing]
And now you're a vampire too,
my love.
Hah! We are finally
of the same kind, darling!
-Will you marry me?
-Will you marry me?
[crowd cheering]
[NUKUMIZU]
Hm?
-[whimpering]
-[NUKUMIZU] What's up?
[whimpering]
[Amanatsu chomps]
Did Ms. Amanatsu scare you?
She did say something to me.
[NUKUMIZU]
Well, that's unfortunate.
[AMANATSU]
Oh, Nukumizu!
You know, these peanut things
are really tasty!
You'll have
to give me the recipe.
Oh, um, my little sister
made all the snacks.
[AMANATSU]
Uh-huh.
Hmm.
-[bell dings]
-[AMANATSU] Hm.
So, tell me,
does your little sister
have a big brother then?
Um, yeah, me?
No, no, not you.
Someone around 30
with a job,
a big house, no kids,
and a nice kitchen!
Uh, the next time
I see my relatives,
I'll ask
if they can think of anyone.
Oh, how sweet.
When Konami finds
her ideal man,
I'd sure like to ride
Oh, I mean,
I'd sure like to meet him.
[AMANATSU] I'll never
let you near him, Konuki!
I'll force you to watch
[NUKUMIZU]
They are such a bad influence
on these poor kids.
I wish
they'd hurry up and leave.
[KONUKI]
Hurray!
That last exhibit we saw
was so well-done, huh?
[Anna groans]
[gulps]
[KOMARI] Something wicked
this way comes.
So, how's it going everybody?
[NUKUMIZU] Yanami,
glad you could make it.
There's so many people in here!
[NUKUMIZU]
Hm?
Your costume's a little dirty.
[NUKUMIZU]
Are you okay?
Yeah, it's just chocolate.
All the kids who have come by
to see me today
have had chocolate
smeared on their grubby,
little hands
or, maybe even worse,
bits of different candies
stuck around their mouths.
[NUKUMIZU]
No clue why, but that tracks!
[ANNA]
I can watch the room for a bit,
so why don't you guys
take a little break?
Sounds great.
Thanks a lot.
One more thing.
Don't you dare
set foot in the clubroom, okay?
[both gasp]
[NUKUMIZU] But I have
a book I need to finish.
How about
I set fire to it then?
Come on,
where else can we go?
[ANNA] You're both
going to walk around
and enjoy the festival
like everyone else.
Yeah,
but, I don't really want to.
As a girl
in the Literature Club,
you should really have at least
a boy or two to doting on you.
I know we're talking
about Nukumizu here,
but he's still a boy.
[chomps]
[chuckles softly]
[both whimpering]
[indistinct chatter]
Oh, yeah, quick question.
[NUKUMIZU]
Hm?
Right, there was
this little kid earlier
and they said
they need more time to read,
so they asked me
if they could take photos.
Ah, really?
That's great.
[KOMARI]
Hm.
[chuckles softly]
[NUKUMIZU] Where should we go
when we finish eating?
[KOMARI]
Oh, I don't care.
Anywhere you want is fine.
[sighs]
[MALE STUDENT]
It's so good!
[NUKUMIZU]
If you didn't know any better,
it could look like
there was something going on
between Komari and me.
I really don't want to give
-anybody the wrong idea.
-[Komari slurps]
Hey, can you do me a favor?
[KOMARI]
Hm?
As an experiment,
would you call me
"big brother?"
[gagging]
[Komari coughing]
You're serious?
Have you gone totally nuts?
No, wait.
That didn't come out right.
It's just that when we're
eating together like this,
it almost looks like
we're here on a date.
-[gagging]
-[NUKUMIZU] Then again,
that's probably not the first
assumption people have
when they see a girl
choking on her udon.
[Nukumizu chokes]
[both coughing]
[shatters]
Jackpot!
[chuckles]
Can you believe
I made that all by myself?
It can even shoot holes
in a soda can
like the real thing.
[NUKUMIZU]
Is it even legal then?
Hey, uh,
I brought Komari
from my club with me.
-[CHIHAYA] Awesome!
-[NUKUMIZU] Hey, Komari!
[KOMARI]
Hm?
[CHIHAYA]
You're that Komari?
The reports you wrote
for the exhibit
were incredible!
Uh,
that is so nice of you to say.
Thank you very much
for your help, too.
No way! I thought
you did a fabulous job!
I was especially enthralled
by how the report
so skillfully aligned
male social camaraderie
with structures
of romantic engagement.
[CHIHAYA] You must be
a tremendous fujoshi.
I don't have
any other fujoshi friends,
so I must tell you
that I'm interested
in hanging out with you more,
Komari!
Please, when you
have a second to spare,
list all your favorite
BL works!
[whimpering]
[NUKUMIZU] Looks like
I got a message from Yakishio.
What do you think
wanna say hi before
we head back to the room?
Nah, I feel trapped.
There's too many people here.
[NUKUMIZU] Okay,
but I'm still going to say hi.
Huh?
Yakishio!
[LEMON]
Oh, hey, it's Nuku!
[NUKUMIZU]
So, what's on your face?
Get this.
I'm dressed as the Masked Lady
of Track and Field!
So, challenge me
to anything on this list.
[NUKUMIZU]
"Face the Masked Lady
of Track and Field
in a no-handicap,
100 meter race."
[NUKUMIZU] Yeah,
I think I'll pass on that one.
[TAKA-BO] Great, then
I'll challenge you instead.
-[NUKUMIZU] Huh?
-[LEMON] Hm?
[LEMON]
Whoa, Takabo?
[LEMON]
It's been so long!
It's "Takahashi the slacker!"
Remember back in middle school,
he and I were both
sprinters in track?
[NUKUMIZU] I keep telling you
we didn't grow up together.
So, you still running or what?
Yeah, I've been doing
a lot of training lately.
I've gotten a lot faster.
You run a slow 100 meter
next to me.
-Ha! -Then let's go!
Or are you just all talk?
[TAKA-BO]
Hmph. I'm here to race you.
But, one thing
if I beat you today,
will you agree to go
see a movie with me?
[GIRLS]
Aww!
Go see a movie.
With you?
[Taka-Bo chuckles softly]
[LEMON]
Hm.
Sure thing.
[all girls gasp]
[LEMON] So, we're on for
a 1,500 meter race?
[TAKA-BO] What, I thought
it was the 100 meter?
Well, you're faster than me
on the 100 meter, right?
Yeah, but I
[LEMON]
You do your stretches?
Shoelaces tied?
-Okay, on your mark.
-Uh Wait!
-Get set. Go!
-Wait
[Takabo screaming]
[Lemon chuckles]
[crowd cheering]
[thuds]
[NUKUMIZU] That's going to be
his cannon event.
[FEMALE STUDENT 1] The next
one's in the courtyard!
[FEMALE STUDENT 2]
Would you wait for me?
Oh, Princess Anna, I love you!
[NISHIKAWA]
Wake up, please don't die!
Anna, my love!
[Nishikawa sobbing]
[Nukumizu sighs]
[NUKUMIZU]
Can ghosts even die?
What a crappy plot.
There's my big brother.
Shouldn't you at least
tell him that we're here?
[KAJU] The only way to capture
his personality on camera
is if he's clueless
he's being watched,
so I have to hide.
[indistinct chatter]
[crowd cheering]
♪
That thing's
ridiculously adorable!
[MOTHER 1]
Looks tasty, huh?
[BOY 1]
Hm. Can I eat it now?
Not till we get home.
[BOY 1]
Aw, Mom.
Oh, good, you're here.
Been waiting.
Yeah, we could really
use some help.
Hey, there was a lot
going on out there.
Like a lost love,
and a ghost's re-death scene.
♪
Whoa, let me help you!
[KOTO] These books tell tales
of friendship, compassion,
and all the elements
we love about adventure!
Even someone as open
to radical possibilities
-as myself would not
-Should I be safe now?
Koto and I never could've
pulled this whole thing
off ourselves.
So cool of you both.
[TAMAKI]
It turned out great.
[MOTHER 2]
Tell her thank you very much.
[KOMARI] Uh, ah, yeah,
it's not a big deal.
Komari worked hard
and gave her all.
♪
[indistinct chatter]
[TAMAKI]
Thanks, everyone.
Listen,
the Literature Club's exhibit,
"Edible Readings,"
had a 117 visitors.
[TAMAKI]
We sold 40 of our treats
and 14 copies
of our newsletter.
I couldn't have ended
my presidency on a better note.
And I know
it's all because of you guys.
[clapping]
[all clapping]
[whimpering]
[KOTO]
Shintaro, are you okay?
[TAMAKI]
Don't worry, it's nothing.
[PA pinging]
[HOKOBARU]
It is now 4:00 p.m.,
and that means the 98th
Tsuwabuki Fest is over.
[HOKOBARU]
Thank you all.
Bye, see you later!
I guess this means you two have
"graduated" from the club now,
huh?
That kinda makes me sad.
[KOTO] Well, that's awfully
nice of you to say.
But I bet
you're really thinking,
"just leave already," huh?!
[NUKUMIZU] Small talk
greases the wheels of society.
[Koto chuckles]
You've become
a pretty smooth talker,
haven't you, Nukumizu?
♪
[NUKUMIZU] I think
Komari's starting to feel
the pressure of taking over
the role of president.
[KOTO]
Who wouldn't be?
Hmm.
That is true.
There's a club president's
meeting next weekend.
She's nervous.
It's just ice breakers
and club reports, but still
Would you help her out?
[NUKUMIZU] Maybe mentor her
for just a little longer?
[KOTO]
I wish I could still do that.
But
that's your role
in her life now, Nukumizu.
[KOTO] I don't mean that
in a sentimental way.
You're just the only one
who'll be there
to stand by her side.
That's just how it is now.
[NUKUMIZU]
I don't know about that.
It doesn't seem like
Komari ever wants my help.
Are you sure?
It looks like
she depends on you
for quite a bit
from where I stand.
Honestly,
that's pretty much
the whole reason
I wanted you as vice president.
I get your point,
but she only
listens to you guys.
[NUKUMIZU] When something's
really important to her,
she has a habit
of pushing people away.
The only people she lets in
are you and the president.
Speaking of,
he sure is late, huh?
[KOTO] The fact that
you and I are out here
must mean he's alone somewhere
with Komari right now.
[NUKUMIZU]
Yeah, that makes sense.
Hmm.
[NUKUMIZU] You in the mood
for one of these?
[KOTO]
Huh?
Don't mind if I do.
So, here's the deal,
I get that you probably think
I'm a heartless,
two-faced bitch.
Oh, that's
I knew Komari
had a thing for Shintaro
a long time before
she confessed
her feelings to him.
But like,
I didn't think she'd ever
make a move, though.
[KOTO] I definitely
underestimated her tenacity.
I was so sure
I'd never lose
to a girl like her.
But that night at camp,
if she hadn't been
that brave about how she felt,
and Shintaro
and I hadn't had the chance
to talk things out,
everything might
have turned out
very differently for all of us.
[biting]
So after all is said and done,
it feels like I used her
as a stepping-stone
to my own happiness.
I think I catch your drift.
That's why you gave them
so much time alone, right?
[Koto inhales]
[Koto exhales]
[door slides open]
♪
[KOMARI]
Well,
I'm done.
[NUKUMIZU] Did you get
to talk to the president?
[KOMARI]
Yeah,
I told him
thanks for everything he did.
[NUKUMIZU]
That's great.
I actually
learned a lot from him, too.
Maybe I should thank him.
[gasps]
I mean, sure,
but you haven't been
in the club for that long.
[NUKUMIZU] Technically,
I did join the club before you.
[KOMARI] Did you forget
that you were a ghost member
until I dug you
out of your grave?
[NUKUMIZU]
Was I really dead and buried?
[insects chirping]
[KOMARI]
Uh, yeah.
Seriously,
I've had so much fun
in the Literature Club.
Um, I'm still so grateful
we were able to snag a teacher.
The president even thanked me
for working so hard
to help find one.
He straight-up said
it was all because of me
that the club had been
able to make it this far.
Well, that's nice.
[KOMARI]
Yeah, but
I know
that now I'm going to start
seeing him less and less,
and because of that,
my feelings for him are going
to get weaker and weaker,
and I don't think I want that.
It's a lot.
[chuckles softly]
It's for the best
but it's hard.
What's best and why?
I don't know how to put this.
I know the phrase,
"Time heals all wounds"
sounds cliche,
but sometimes it fits.
[NUKUMIZU] Some things
do get better with time.
[KOMARI]
Funny coming from someone
who's never been dumped.
[sighs]
I know what you mean, though,
so, yeah.
[KOMARI]
It was so painful
to hold on to something
just waiting for it to end,
so I'm glad I got to let
some of my feelings out today.
[KOMARI]
It helped me a lot.
[gasps]
Wait a second,
you didn't ask him out again,
did you?
What, no.
There's no way I'd do that.
But, uh,
I just asked him
if he ever liked me.
[NUKUMIZU]
Uh?
[KOMARI]
Yeah, I asked him
if Tsukinoki
hadn't been around,
would he have considered
going out with me instead?
[NUKUMIZU]
And what did he say about that?
[KOMARI]
You know him.
He's always so thoughtful.
I really enjoyed
the time the three of us
were able to
spend together this year.
Hmm.
[KOMARI]
But
when we were at camp,
I was ready to throw
all of that out the window.
I couldn't deal with
any of it anymore.
So, I decided
to tell him the truth.
I wasn't just trying to have
something fun
to look back on later.
[KOMARI]
But even then,
he was willing to hear me out,
and he truly
accepted all of me.
Even the not-so-great parts.
♪
[KOMARI]
You know what?
I'm still glad that
I liked him so much.
