01x12 - My Dress-Up Darling

What?

MARIN KITAGAWA: HELP

What?

Thanks for coming to teach me.

No problem.

I wanted to double-check

these ribbons' position too, so it's fine.

But it's a pity that you can't go

to the festival with your father.

He doesn't seem to think that way, though.

Even though he's the one who caused it.

Homework? No, I still haven't touched it.

I mean, there are still two weeks

left for summer break, right?

What? Come on, I can do that real quick.

What? What do you mean we're not

going to the festival? I don't get it!

Unbelievable.

I told him it would be fine,

but he didn't believe me!

Not to mention, I have to send him photos

every day as proof of my progress.

Who does that? Is he a demon or what?

What a bummer.

I haven't been to any festivals this year.

That reminds me, there was

a firework show in Iwatsuki yesterday.

What? Why didn't you invite me, then?

You meanie!

You were preoccupied

with your homework, right?

You see, I've been busy

with my part-time job,

I haven't gotten any time

to do my homework.

What's your part-time job, anyway?

Right.

This one.

Kitagawa?

You're in a magazine! Are you a model?

Just a reader model.

You know, an amateur fashion model.

Reader model?

The magazine editor came by

my usual beauty parlor

and somehow introduced himself to me.

I got more photo shoots

than usual these days, but that's it.

Oh, my gosh.

You got a different vibe in a magazine

compared to the usual.

Maybe because my makeup

was done by a makeup artist?

Is there any reason

why you took more jobs recently?

Oh, about that

I must get that single reflex camera,

so I had to!

She's really down

for that expensive camera.

Gosh! Time out!

Care to watch a movie, Gojo?

THE RINGING

Do you fancy horror movies, Kitagawa?

Not really.

We're watching this series' third sequel

because it's so popular it piques you.

Also, it fits well with summertime!

I don't usually watch horror, so

May I know how scary this movie is?

It's just a movie,

I'm sure it won't be that scary!

No worries!

What? A voicemail?

Who could it be?

Hello.

Right now, I'm

behind you!

What do you want from me?

No! Please! Don't!!

That last part was great!

It was well done!

Well, it's just so-so.

Wasn't that scary

There's a part

that I want to watch once more.

Can we rewind it?

But why?

I want to get more insight

into the clothing

and the special makeup they did.

I wonder how they made it

look torn out like that.

Those eyes were made

with contact lenses, I assume?

Aren't those just CGI?

This, and also this!

I could learn a lot with all of this!

Yes, this is the last one.

I'm done with English!

Oh, I'm beat.

If there was math,

I might as well be dead.

There is, though.

I did mine.

No way. I don't have it.

Now, a question.

Don't tell me

I left mine in school?

We got scolded

because we didn't wear our uniforms.

Sorry for dragging you into this.

It's okay.

I'm also going back home, anyway.

I'm glad you found your question sheet.

Yes.

Anyway, doesn't this feel

exactly like in that horror movie?

Our steps are echoing too, right?

If we got here just a little later,

we would have been in a courage test.

-Scary.

-Yes.

Oh, I have to buy groceries after this.

Oh, right. Do you want

to join us for dinner?

What? Can I? Wow, it's been a long time.

Because you would end up eating

that so-called fried rice, after all.

What are we having today?

Somen noodles and kakiage made

of shrimp, onion, and parsley mix.

Wow! That sounds delicious!

If it's kakiage,

I'm sure you're going to nail the taste!

Deep-fried stuff is just

too high level for me to make,

so I never make any.

This is my first time seeing

the pool outside of class hours.

It's so big when you look at it up close.

We're not members of the swimming club.

Trespassing the pool is a bad idea.

It's fine even if we're not.

It looks so refreshing.

Here comes the foot!

I think that's

Just for a second.

Kitagawa!

Kitagawa!

I thought I would be dead

for a moment there.

You were! Can't you swim?

I can't even float.

You told me that you went

to the beach with your friends, right?

Were you having fun?

Even though I can't swim?

Yes.

Surprisingly, it was all right.

I took photos, chatted,

and ate at the beach house with them.

I had a lot of fun there.

I see.

-You know

-What?

I like it when I stand by the sandy beach,

hear the waves roar,

and see the glimmering sea.

I love to see such scenery.

That's why I can have fun

even if I can't swim.

Isn't it ridiculous when I say

I like the sea when I can't swim?

What? Was that right on the mark?

Oh, sorry.

It isn't ridiculous.

Right.

I'm also like that.

I still can't properly draw

a Hina doll's face yet

but I like Hina dolls so much.

Yes! Exactly!

More like, isn't everyone like that?

Yes.

But in your case,

you would be dead if you drown, so

I'll take precaution to that.

-Gojo.

-Yes?

I plan to look for an ongoing festival.

Do you want to come along if I find one?

What? What about your homework?

You still have piles of it.

Oh, sh**t.

I'll finish it quickly,

so you better guide me through, okay?

Of course.

What?

I'M DOING MATH NOW. ISN'T THAT GOOD?

I'M A GOOD GIRL

It's good that Marin finished

her homework.

Yes.

I'm off, then.

Okay! Be careful on your way.

GOJO DOLLS

Have fun out there!

What a crowd.

It's packed with people.

REALLY? I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO I

ME TOO

Isn't it going to be hard

to meet up like this?

Is she going to be okay?

Hey!

Thank God, I found you!

I'm sorry I'm late.

I got stuck in the crowd.

No problem.

You're wearing a jinbei!

It really suits you!

You look good.

-You're also wearing a yukata.

-What?

Yes.

I wanted to go all out, so I rented one.

What's wrong?

What?

I bet you're captivated

by the look of my nape?

GULPS

For real?

Well

That's

Well

You're kidding me!

-Really? Are you for real?

-Traditional clothes are really good.

BA-THUMP

I'm so hyped right now!

I'm glad I rented this yukata!

Let's charm him with this nape appeal!

When

When will the fireworks start again?

At seven o'clock!

You really looked forward to it that much?

Hey!

They're selling candy apples there!

I'm digging in!

Aren't you glad?

What? Okonomiyaki!

What?

Come again!

It really looks delicious. Kitagawa

What?

What?

There's yakitori too!

Welcome!

Okay.

-Is this

-How many should I buy?

IKAYAKI, BEEF SKEWERS STEAK,

CHICKEN SKIN DUMPLINGS, KARAAGE

We bought a lot.

That's normal for two people.

Let's eat at the venue!

Thank you for your patience.

The fireworks show will begin shortly.

Crap! Let's go!

Yes!

This is my first time

watching fireworks at the venue.

That's a surprise.

Iwatsuki does a fireworks display too.

You've never watched it once?

And the place is close to yours.

Isn't that a waste?

The smell of gunpowder and smoke

The people's cheer

And to see them up close

The sound rings within my body.

Last year, the year before,

and even further in the past

All these years, I was always in my room.

Fireworks were merely noises

that I heard through my room.

And yet I'm here now.

Your tongue has turned blue!

The color is so thick, you know!

That's what you get

when you eat Blue Hawaii in one go.

And you still went for it?

Yes!

Cut it out already.

It hurts.

What a bruise.

You can't walk like this.

There's a convenience store nearby.

I'll buy some Band-A*DS.

I'm fine. Walking back and forth

is going to be troublesome.

But

You can just piggyback me.

Piggyback?

So high!

I'm seriously jealous that you always

got this amazing point of view!

She smells nice.

How tall are you, anyway?

One hundred and eighty!

Please don't move so much!

Sorry!

Oh, my. So you are that tall?

That fireworks show was awesome!

It was beautiful, right?

Well, I couldn't see it clearly

thanks to the smoke, though.

That was bound to happen.

I'm glad I came today.

Same here!

Well, that's what I would like to say.

But in the end, this happened

and I was like, "What am I saying?"

To be fair, you were not

that familiar with that footwear.

But, you know,

when things go wrong,

no matter how much fun you have,

that's where you kind of feel,

"This sucks."

Sorry, Gojo.

I'll be more careful next year.

Next year

Let's visit Iwatsuki fireworks

next year too!

Yes! Let's do that!

More like, why don't we go

to the one in Kanto?

What? Are we even going to make it there?

You won't know unless you try, right?

Let's wrap it up for today.

What's the matter, Kitagawa?

Gojo.

Are you busy right now?

I'm about to sleep.

Why are you calling me this late?

Nothing, really.

I

I just want to hear your voice, or rather

What?

I'm scared to the bone that I can't sleep!

I shouldn't have watched The Grief 2!

Oh, the sequel!

But didn't you say it wasn't that scary?

You were there so I could handle it.

But watching it alone really got me crazy!

Now even a rattle startles me!

I kept thinking someone may be

behind me this whole time!

I even wash my hair with my eyes open!

What? There's no one there but you.

That was just a made-up story.

You don't know for sure!

What if I get back to my room

and someone's waiting to m*rder me?

What are you going to do?

What do I do

if I get a mysterious voicemail?

I just can't take it!

Why should they base

the horror on smartphones?

It's so mentally horrifying!

-Gojo.

-Yes?

Could you accompany me for a while?

I don't mind even if

you doze off while on speaker.

Understood.

So I said that.

Isn't Noa just too tough?

She's so simple, it's actually wicked.

She's that kind of girl, right?

I'm not as scared as before.

Thanks, Gojo.

Glad to hear that.

We're back to school tomorrow, huh?

Summer break is just too short.

I still have a lot of things I want to do.

I still want to watch Student Host.

I want to do more part-time jobs.

And cosplay!

I want to go

to a cosplay convention once more

but there's just not enough time.

Yes.

I

I

He sounds sleepy.

I

had a lot of fun this year.

Yes.

We did a lot of things together.

It was fun.

Gojo.

I love you.

As if he's going to hear that.

I should sleep too.

Later, Gojo.

WAKANA GOJO

Good night.

See you later.
