CR Let's make a movie! With that being said… What should we do? Oh, yeah, we only have video from Taishou's helmet cam and video of Ms. Haru sleeping. And the footage of us skateboarding downhill. I've been shooting footage here and there. What's up with the tatami anyways? We got it from the tea ceremony club after they got new tatami mats. Let's put a kotatsu here when it gets cold! It's starting to look like Ms. Haru's room. What kind of movie do you want to make? Like, sort of a short movie that strikes at people's heartstrings? So you don't have any sort of plot in mind. Shooting a movie is good and all, but editing is a pain, you know. It's such a pain that it'll affect your perception of time. It's that bad? Ms. Kako was saying something like that. Taking the video is all fun, but editing is a huge pain! I'm still editing a video I took two years ago. That's taking way too long. You can't just take the video and not edit? You can't watch a video that hasn't been edited. Why don't we make it into a POV mockumentary? A POV mockumentary? A POV mockumentary? It's a work of fiction in documentary format from a first-person point of view. An unedited action cam footage can get the job done. The horror genre is a good match for it. The dim and low resolution of the camera creates blurry images that makes the footage scarier than it is. Gotcha. Even a suit that's not scary at all… put it into a POV horror and ta-da! That's going too far. Tajima might come too if it's horror. Tajima? The phantom member of Cinema Club? She's always liked horror, but it seems she stopped coming when there weren't any other horror fans around. What are you doing? A ritual to summon Tajima. So you are just texting her. Says she's coming. I've never met Tajima. I wonder what kind of person she is? She's a horror-loving phantom member. I'm Tajima. She's probably like this. Yeah. Wassup? What's the meeting about, Sakurako? The phantom member, Tajima. Nice to meet you. She's pretty different from what I imagined. A POV horror movie? I love it! Have you all seen one? No. No. Then you have to watch one! Here's my recommendation. If I start watching now, I won't finish till tomorrow. Then at least watch the previews. Look here. Isn't there something stirring at the end of the pool? This one is about a poltergeist bumping around a house in the middle of the night. American homes always have a pool, don't they? Who's playing such heinous tricks in the middle of the night? College students go missing in a forest rumored to have a witch living there. So there's a school close by. The school's not a landmark. That's about it. There's so many POV horror movies. Basically, the main characters let their curiosity get the best of them, and end up in a terrible situation. You summed that up real simple. We can't use monsters or do any flashy production, but we could make one where a human-shaped ghost comes out. Right! Okay, let's make a POV horror! Okay. Okay. Well, first we have to decide where to take it. A paranormal hot spot around here would be the woods in the mountains near Fuji. We could make a real horror movie there. It's a mockumentary, so I think anywhere that has the vibe would be fine. Right, if it's nighttime, the mood will come. Can't we take it during the day and edit it to look like it's nighttime? Mountains are scary at night. We're taking a POV because we don't want to edit. Our priorities are already backwards. Let's do a walk-through while it's light out. Somewhere close would be convenient. Then maybe a lake or a pond? Why? They say spirits gather by water. Really? And also tunnels? What about we don't go to a real paranormal hot spot? They're scary. They say that paranormal spots are mostly placebo effect. There's no need to worry that much about it. Aside from the real ones. The "real ones"? Where'd Tajima go? I think she went home. What? Since when? She left without saying anything during Cinema Club too. She's a real phantom member. She's a real phantom member. A movie? That sounds amazing! You're always helping me gather material, so I'll help by driving you around or however I can! Thank you! So let's get to business. So let's get to business. Wow! It's got the vibes. There's plenty of space to film. The shore is extra terrifying at night, like something is lurking in it. How about this? A group of high schoolers come to the dam, hearing it's a paranormal hot spot. At first, they were casually enjoying the test of courage. What is it? They had crossed the bridge, when suddenly, they feel someone watching them. When they tried to turn back, they feel the presence of wild animals and are unable to return. Out of necessity, they decide to make a round around the dam and then go home. But one of the girls begins to act strange. Finally, they come to witness a demonic ritual in a park. Table cloth. Table cloth. We don't need this trope in horror movies! I think it's good to have the fear factor rise halfway through the story. Then we just have to decide on an ending. What if one of the girls goes crazy and dive into the lake? That's just plain dangerous. What if she doesn't dive into the lake but go missing in the park? I like that. Yeah, that might work. Then the performance of the girl going crazy will determine how good the movie is. Action! I can feel it! Someone's watching us! I sense wild animals. No, the acting is awful! I feel like someone's watching. What! What! Cut, cut! You've got the part. Yes! Tajima used to be an actress at the Cinema Club. She is good, but it's a bit overboard. What if you tone down the screaming and run away instead? Okay. It will be too dark to see even if you exaggerate your expression. We've got the location and the story pretty much down. Why don't we go ahead and start filming this weekend? Okay. Okey dokey. Oh, yeah, Ms. Haru. Can't we talk to Ms. Kurokuma? Talk to Ms. Kurokuma? She's a professional horror manga artist. I thought it'd be a good idea to pick her brain. Got it. I'll ask once we get back. "POV horror"? We showed Ms. Kurokuma the plot. From the ancient castle hidden in the dam, a golem appears. The main characters are caught and become sacrifices in a ritual of black magic. In a few days, it came back to us as an American horror story. One of them... Let's do it ourselves. We made careful preparations and welcomed the day of filming. Last check of plans. To summarize, the story is about three high school girls living in the city. They go to try a test of courage and run into strange phenomena. They start from the bridge by the dam, walk along the lake, and finish at Koganezawa Park. Everything is peaceful at first. But once they cross the bridge, Tajima starts to make a fuss about feeling someone watching them. Right. And they find this mysterious stone monument at the park. There's actually a Bluetooth speaker inside. It doesn't need to be this functional. Hearing noise from the stone, Tajima starts to go crazy and runs. Yep, yep. Once you run to the back of the tunnel, just hide and wait somewhere. We'll scream stuff like, "She's gone!" Okey doke. We'll be backstage crew. Yep. Leave the over-the-top acting to Tajima. The two of us will act naturally. Got it. Did you hear something just now? No, I didn't imagine it. I just set up the stone. Then let's start filming, shall we? So we like to go around to different paranormal spots in Yamanashi. Tonight, we're going to a lake in east Yamanashi. It may not be real because it's just a story we heard at school, but we're going to go make a round around the lake. The air feels unusually chilly tonight. They say spirits gather by water at night. Tajima's acting is very convincing. Yeah, no joke. Since we're in the mountains, we're more likely to see bears and boars, not ghosts. I would be so scared. Sacchan is stiff as a board. Hey. Does it feel like someone's watching us? I've been sensing an unsettling presence for a while now. Don't say scary things like that. It's just your imagination. We're finally coming up on the park. If someone happens to stroll by, they'd faint from the surprise. Wait, do you hear something? What the-- I think I hear a chant! We have to head back. This is too dangerous. It's watching us. It's looking right at us from over there. Tajima, is something wrong? Tajima? What? What? Tajima! Hey, that's not the direction we rehearsed. No way. Did she fall in? Fall in? You mean, into the lake? Tajima? She didn't actually fall, right? Did she fall? Tajima! Tajima! Tajima. Tajima! Tajima! Tajima… We can't find her anywhere. What should we do? How could this happen? Please tell me this is a joke. She couldn't have fallen in. Keep a level head, everyone! A pay phone number. Hello? Hey, it's me. I forgot I had some urgent errands to run. I'm hopping on the bus now. Tajima is going home to run some urgent errands. Urgent errands? Thank heavens. I thought she was in serious trouble. She had us worried for a second there. Shall we start heading back too? I suppose. However, this was the last time we saw Tajima. She never came back to school. I've been trying to call Tajima's cell phone since last night. But it just says her number isn't currently active. Her social media is gone too. None of this is normal. Let's go check out Tajima's class. Yeah, let's. Wait, that girl is Tajima? Yeah. Why? But Tajima is a preppy girl with long hair. She's the only Tajima in our class. What on Earth is happening? Looks like there's no other Tajima on the class roster either. And I've only come across her during club activities. Then who was that girl we were making the video with? Remember how Tajima called me from a pay phone? I looked into it, and there's not a single phone booth anywhere close to that lake. Then how did she call you? And there are no buses running in that area at that hour. Really… The phantom member Tajima we met had disappeared without a trace, just like a real ghost. A week had passed since her disappearance. No one seemed to remember her at all, no matter which teacher or student we asked. We couldn't file a missing person report since we never learned her address or her real name. The more we dig into this fake Tajima, the more baffled I get about this whole situation. I was replaying the video we took at the lake and noticed a strange voice. And it sounds just like Tajima. I'm supposed to go show it to Ms. Haru in a bit. Won't you guys come with me? I'm pressing play. Okay. Okay. So we like to go around to different paranormal spots in Yamanashi. Tonight, we're going to a lake in east Yamanashi. It may not be real because it's just a story we heard at school, but we're going to go make a round around the lake. Since we're in the mountains, we're more likely to see bears or boars, not ghosts. When is the strange audio? I would be so scared. Around the 35-minute mark. Skip to it then! Tajima is going home to run some urgent errands. Urgent errands? You still had the camera on? Yeah. I was so panicked, so I forgot to press pause. Shall we start heading back too? I suppose. Why did you leave me behind? It's Tajima! It has to be! Tajima's the one who left us behind. She has no right to hold grudges against us! Did I film this scene? Tajima! Hey, that's not the direction we rehearsed. No way. Did she fall in? Man, I haven't sprinted in forever. Hey, it's me. I forgot I had some urgent errands to run. I'm hopping on the bus now. What? What? That's the gist of it. Did I catch you by surprise? You pranked us? You pranked us? Ms. Haru, were you in on it too? Well, they told me after I got back home. You kept us in the dark for a whole week! Let me reintroduce myself. I'm Inomata, a former Cinema Club member who's a year above you. I played the role of fake Tajima. I knew it, she was an impostor. I thought you'd figure it out when I said Tajima was an actress for Cinema Club, but you didn't catch on at all. As a phantom member, Tajima only came twice. That's right! That's right! How was it? Did you cool down from the sweltering heat? We did, but it cost us our peace of mind for the week. After I tossed that rock into the lake, I made a beeline for the car on standby. It totally wiped me out. So that's how she is when she's not acting. She was playing the role of Tajima when you met her. These one-offs are fun to participate in every once in a while. Invite me if you decide to pull off another prank, Sakurako. We'd instantly know that it's a prank if Ms. Inomata is involved. Another thing. Allow me to introduce our co-conspirator. Come here. Co-conspirator? That's not very nice, is it? This voice… It's been ages, Amamiya and Kiriyama. It's Makinohara-senpai. You haven't changed at all, Amamiya. What are you, Pavlov's dog? Sorry. My reflex kicked in. I'm the one who owes you an apology. I was only trying to help Fuuka, but I ended up tricking you. Come on, she was just the driver. How have you been? How's life? Things were rough for a while. Once you graduated, Senpai, Sacchan turned into an empty husk. Did she really? But I've still been snapping away. Oh? I'd love to see your photos. Sure. Want to screen-share? Right now? Wow, they're pretty good. Yes. Is there something that catches your eye? Is this… It's more interesting if you interact with it. Ms. Kako showed us how to upload it online too. Why not share the link? Okay. So, Senpai, after you graduated, I did hit rock bottom for a while. But Kiriyama is always in my corner, and I met Ms. Haru when I bought a camera from her. And we've merged with Sakurako's club and became the Cinephoto Club. We are even friends with Ms. Haru's friend and other manga artists. Since we started helping Ms. Haru with her manga's story, we've been taking lots and lots of photos and videos. Really, I couldn't be… any happier than I am now. It's easy to tell how much fun you are having. You must have traveled all over the place. Yes. I want to capture everything. This year, I was short on time and was only able to swing by town for a day. But I'll take a proper break for New Year's. So I'll see you then. I'm so happy I got to see Makinohara-senpai's face after all this time. Even though it was on a screen. Seriously though, I'm glad no one actually went missing. You can say that again. How long have you been scheming, Sakurako? Right about when we got back from Nirasaki. Way back then? Well, Ms. Haru, catch you later. Yes. See you. What if I pick out a camera of my own? I love that. Which one? Haven't decided yet. Be wary of online auctions. Though we wouldn't have met Ms. Haru otherwise. If I buy a camera through an online auction, I can have a shot at pulling a super-rare character like Ms. Haru? Like it's a mobile game? Next time, I want to make a proper movie. You'd do this again? Next time, no pranks. A Grand Spectacle Romance Suspense Space Detective Adventure. That's so chaotic. Don't forget ninja, Sacchan. What for? How about, A Grand Spectacle Ninja… What was it? You don't even remember! Throw in action too… Okay, so… A Grand Spectacle Ninja Action… Romance Suspense Space Detective Adventure. You have it down.

washed Let's make a movie! With that being said... I have no idea what we'd do. For starters, we've got Taishou's topknot escapades and footage of Ms. Haru napping, but that's pretty much it. Don't forget the downhill skateboarding video. I've been recording stuff here and there. By the way, what's up with the tatami? We got it from the Tea Ceremony Club after they got new tatami mats. Let's put a kotatsu here when it gets cold! That'd basically make it Ms. Haru's room. What kinda movie do you want to make? Um, like, a short film that warms the heart, maybe? So we're starting from ground zero, got it. Shooting a movie is good and all, but editing is a pain, you know. It's such a pain that it'll permanently alter your perception of time. I-It's that bad? Ms. Kako was saying something similar. Filming is a breeze, but editing is a huge pain! I'm still editing a video I did two years ago! Seems endless, in more ways than one. You can't just take the video and not edit it? It'd be hard to sit through a bunch of raw footage. In that case, why don't we just do a POV mockumentary? A POV mockumentary? When you shoot a fictional story documentary-style from a first-person POV. Even we film it in one take with the action cam, it should still be pretty watchable. Horror would be a good genre to choose. The dimness caused by the low-spec camera and the shaky footage making it harder to see help build suspense for the viewer. Gotcha. Even a completely goofy headpiece turns out like this in a POV horror! Don't know about that one. Plus, if we're doing horror Tajima might come too. Tajima? You mean that other Cinema Club member? She was big on horror movies, but it seems she stopped coming after finding out there weren't any other horror fans around. What are you doing? A ritual to summon Tajima. All that just to text her is crazy. Says she's coming. I've never met Tajima. I wonder what kind of person she is? I mean, she's a horror fan who doesn't go to club. I'm Tajima. Prob this kinda vibe. Yeah. 'Sup! Sakurako, what did you wanna talk about? Introducing Tajima. Nice to meet you! Our expectations were off by a mile. A POV horror movie? I love it! Have either of you seen one? No. Then you have to watch one first! Here's what I'd recommend. I-If we start watching now, we might be here till tomorrow. Then at least watch the trailers. Look, here. Is that something moving at the end of the pool? This one's about a poltergeist that haunts a house by night. American houses always have a pool, don't they? Who's playing this awful trick on us in the middle of the night?! College students go missing in a forest where a witch is rumored to live. Couldn't they just call 911? Those aren't telephone poles. That should be good enough. I didn't know there were this many POV horror movies out there. So the protagonists do dumb things out of curiosity and end up in trouble. Basically. You summed that up real simple. We can't really do monsters or anything too complicated, but having one of us act as a ghost or something seems doable. Sounds good! Alright, let's get this show on the road! Okay! Well, first we have to decide where to film. The Sea of Trees is a haunted spot nearby, but we might end up filming a legit horror there. I think anywhere with that kind of vibe would be enough for a mockumentary. True, it being night already helps set the mood. Can't we take it during the day and edit it to look like it's nighttime? Mountains are scary at night. We're doing this because we don't want to edit. Our priorities are already backwards. We should scout the location before it gets dark, so somewhere close would be convenient. Then maybe a lake or a pond? Why? They say spirits gather near sources of water. Is that true? We could also do a tunnel? H-How about we stay away from actual haunted spots? They're too scary. They say that paranormal events are the result of our minds playing tricks on us. I don't think there's anything for you to worry about. Most of the time, anyway. Real comforting. Where'd Tajima go? I think she went home. What?! Since when? She'd leave without a word back at Cinema Club too. That's a true no-show for you. A movie? That sounds amazing! You're always helping me gather material, so I'll help by driving you around or however I can! Thank you! So let's get to business! Wow! It's got the vibe we're looking for. And there's plenty of space to film! Lakes are extra terrifying at night. You almost feel something lurking in the water. What about something like this for the story? Three high school girls hear about a haunted dam, and decide to go for a test of courage. At first, they enjoy themselves, not thinking much of anything. What is it? As they cross the bridge, they start to feel like something is watching them. They try to turn back but can't, sensing the presence of wild animals. Having no choice, they decide to walk around the dam once and then go home. But one by one, the girls begin to lose their sanity. After a long and arduous adventure, they come to witness a demonic ritual in a park! Table cloth... table cloth... We can't end a horror movie like that! I do like how the suspense really picks up in the middle. Now we just have to decide on an ending. What about having one of the girls dive into the lake after going crazy? That's just plain dangerous. What if she doesn't dive into the lake, but goes missing in the park instead? I like that! Yeah, that might work. Then the performance of the girl going crazy will have a big impact on the final product. Action! O-Oh no! Someone is watching us! I sense wild animals! How are you guys this bad?! I-I feel like something's watching us. What?! Cut, cut! You've got the part. Yay! Tajima was an actress for the Cinema Club. She is good, but that was a little overboard. What if you tone down the screaming and run away instead? Okay. I don't think we'll be able to see that face in the dark. We've got the location and story pretty much down. Why don't we go ahead and start filming this weekend? Okey dokey. Sounds good to me. Oh, Ms. Haru. You think we could talk to Ms. Kurokuma? What for? I thought it'd be a good idea to pick her brain, seeing as she's a professional horror manga artist and all. Got it. I'll ask once we get back. "POV horror"? We showed Ms. Kurokuma the plot. A golem appears from an ancient castle at the bottom of the lake. The main characters are caught and become sacrifices in a black magic ritual. A few days later, it came back to us as an American horror story. One of them... Let's just do it ourselves. We made thorough preparations, eagerly anticipating the weekend ahead. Let's go over the plan one last time. Our story follows three high school girls living in the city. They go on a test of courage and experience a series of strange events. Starting from the bridge by the dam, they walk along the lake, ending up at Koganezawa Park. At first, it's smooth sailing. But as they cross the bridge, Tajima begins making a fuss about feeling someone watching them. Yep, yep. And then they find this mysterious stone monument at the park. By the way, I put a Bluetooth speaker in this thing. Functional to a fault. Hearing noises from the stone, Tajima loses her mind and runs away. Yep, yep. Once you run to the back of the tunnel, just hide and wait somewhere. After that, we'll scream stuff like, "She's gone!" Alrighty. We'll be the backstage crew. Yep. Leave the dramatic part to Tajima. The two of us can just act naturally. G-Got it. Did you hear something just now? No, I didn't imagine it. I just set up the stone. Then let's start filming, shall we? So we live in Yamanashi, and go around visiting haunted spots in the area. For tonight's adventure, we're at a lake in east Yamanashi! We heard a rumor this place was haunted at school. Even if it isn't, we're going to do a lap around the lake anyway. The air feels unusually chilly tonight. They do say spirits gather by water at night. Tajima really is good at acting. Yeah, seriously. Since we're in the mountains, we'd probably run into a bear or boar instead of a ghost. I-If we did, that would be so scary. Sacchan's as stiff as a board. H-Hey. Doesn't it feel like someone's watching us? I've been getting this weird feeling for a while now. D-Don't say scary things like that. It's just your imagination. It's finally time for the park scene. If someone passing by came across the stone, they'd probably faint. Wait, do you hear that weird sound? Hey, what's that?! I think I hear chanting! Let's head back already. This is too dangerous! Something's there. It's staring us down from over there. Tajima, what's wrong? Tajima? What? Tajimaaa! Hey, she wasn't supposed to run that way! She didn't just fall in, did she? Fall in? You mean, into the lake? Tajima? There's no way she fell in! Did she actually fall? Tajima! Tajima! Tajima. Tajima! Tajima! Tajima... We really can't find her anywhere. What should we do? How could this have happened? This has to be some kind of joke. S-Stay calm, everyone! It's from a payphone. Hello? Hey, it's me. I remembered I had something urgent to do, so I'm taking the bus home. Tajima had something urgent to do, so she went home. What now? Thank goodness. I thought something actually happened to her. Sh-She had us worried for a second there! Shall we head back as well? Yes, let's. However, that was the last time we saw Tajima. She never came back to school. I've been trying to call Tajima since last night, but it says her number is currently inactive. Her social media's been deactivated too. No matter how you look at it, this isn't normal. Let's go check out Tajima's class! Good idea! You're saying that girl is Tajima? Yeah. Why? We're talking about the outgoing Tajima with longer hair. The only Tajima in our class is the one sitting over there. What on earth is happening? Looks like there's no other Tajima on the class roster either. And I've never seen our Tajima outside of club. Then who was that girl we were filming the movie with? Remember how she called me from a payphone? I looked into it, and there's not a single phone booth anywhere near that lake. Then where did she call you from? On top of that, there aren't any buses running in that area at that hour. No way... The Tajima we knew vanished as suddenly as she had appeared, almost as if she were a ghost herself. Over the next week after her disappearance, we continued asking around the school, but not a single person seemed to know who she was. We couldn't file a missing person report, since we didn't know her address or real name. The more we dig into this fake Tajima, the more baffled I get about this whole situation. I was replaying the video we took at the lake and noticed a strange voice. And it sounds just like Tajima. I'm supposed to go show Ms. Haru in a bit. Won't you guys come with me? I'm pressing play. O-Okay. So we live in Yamanashi, and go around visiting haunted spots in the area. For tonight's adventure, we're at a lake in east Yamanashi! We heard a rumor this place was haunted at school. Even if it isn't, we're going to do a lap around the lake anyway. Since we're in the mountains, we'd probably run into a bear or boar instead of a ghost. I-If we did, that would be so scary. When is the strange audio? Around the 35-minute mark. Skip to it then, dammit! Tajima had something urgent to do, so she went home. What now? The camera was still running here? Yeah. I was so panicked I forgot to stop the recording. Shall we head back as well? Yes, let's. Why did you leave me behind? Th-That was Tajima's voice! It's definitely her! Tajima's the one who left first! Why is she holding a grudge against us?! Huh? I don't remember filming this. Tajima! Hey, she wasn't supposed to run that way! She didn't just fall in, did she? Man, I haven't sprinted in forever. Hey, it's me. I remembered I had something urgent to do, so I'm taking the bus home. Huh? What? Wha— Whaaat? Click. And that's a wrap. Did we manage to scare you guys? This was all a prank?! Ms. Haru, were you in on it too? For what it's worth, they only told me after I got back home from filming. So we were the only ones left in the dark this whole week! Let me reintroduce myself. I'm Inomata, a Cinema Club alum in the year above you guys. I was given the opportunity to play the role of fake Tajima for this production. So she really was an impostor. I thought you'd figure it out when I said Tajima was an actress for the Cinema Club, but you didn't catch on at all. The real Tajima only came to two club meetings, remember? Oh yeah, that's right! How'd you like our prank? Pretty exciting way to end the summer, no? Sure, but it cost us our peace of mind for the week. After I tossed that rock into the lake, I made a beeline for the car on standby. It totally wiped me out. So this is how she's really like. She was acting when you met her, after all. Anyway, these one-offs are fun to participate in every once in a while. Let me know if you ever decide to record another prank, Sakurako. Except if Ms. Inomata's there, we'd instantly know it's a prank. Oh, one last thing. Allow me to introduce our final accomplice. Come here. I can't believe you're making me out to be an accomplice. This voice... Long time no see, Amamiya and Kiriyama. It's Makinohara-senpai. You haven't changed at all, Amamiya. What are you, Pavlov's dog? I'm so sorry! I wasn't thinking... I'm the one who owes you an apology. I wasn't aware at first, but it seems Fuuka roped me into helping trick you. To be fair, all she did was drive. How have you been? How's life? Things were rough for a while. After you graduated, Sacchan turned into an empty husk. Did she really? B-But I've still been snapping away. Have you? I'd love to see some of your photos. Oh, yes! U-Um... Sacchan, wanna screen-share? Right now?! Wow, that's really cool. Yeah. Did something catch your eye? Are these what I think they are? Oh, those? It's more fun if you move them around. We uploaded them online after Ms. Kako taught us how. Why not share the link? Okay. Senpai, after you graduated, I did hit rock bottom for a while. But Kiriyama's always in my corner, and when I bought a new camera, we got to meet Ms. Haru. Then we merged with Sakurako's Cinema Club, and became the Cinephoto Club. We even got to know Ms. Haru's friend and her fellow manga artist as well. Since we started helping Ms. Haru with her manga's story, we've been taking lots and lots of photos and videos. Really, I couldn't be... any happier than I am now. That's what these pictures are telling me as well. You must have had so much fun at all these different places. I really did. I want to capture everything! I've been busy this summer, so I was only able to drop by home for one day, but I'll make time for a proper visit over New Year's. So I'll see you then. I'm happy I got to see Makinohara-senpai's face for the first time in a while. Even if it was through video call. Seriously though, I'm glad no one actually went missing. You can say that again. When did you start scheming, Sakurako? Around the time we got back from Nirasaki. Since then?! Well, Ms. Haru, catch you later! Yep, see you! Maybe I should buy my own camera. Good idea! What kind? Haven't decided yet. Watch out for online auctions. Hey, we wouldn't have met Ms. Haru without one. If I buy a camera through an online auction, does that mean I have a shot at pulling a super-rare character like Ms. Haru? They aren't loot boxes. Next time, I want to make a proper movie. So you haven't learned your lesson. One that isn't a prank? A Grand Spectacle Romance Suspense Space Detective Adventure. What are you cooking? Add "Ninja" in there, Sacchan. Don't you start now! Okay, so now it's Grand Spectacle Ninja... What was it? See, you don't even remember! Throw in "Action" too. Um, a Grand Spectacle Ninja Action... ...Romance Suspense Space Detective Adventure. You have it down.
