A Couple of Cuckoos (2022) s01e07 Episode Script

Is my fate going to change?

1
Do you get what I meant
when I said I'm engaged?
You meant you're inheriting this place.
That's right.
Have you told Amano-san yet?
No, I haven't.
Really? I thought you would have
by now, since you're so close.
I don't think I could, you know?
I wouldn't want to burden
her with such a heavy story.
I guess.
I do think it's heavy.
So why did you tell me, then?
I thought you'd be willing
to take on the burden.
That's what it seemed like.
I never thought the day would come when
Segawa-san would say such a thing to me!
I even got to go to her place!
I'll take it on.
I'll take on the burden!
That means I have to learn more about her.
Should I really be letting
her make all the moves?
Nay!
All right, I got this!
Heya.
Seriously, knock, damn it!
I did!

Here, look.
A handout for the field trip.
Field trip?
You weren't listening. I knew it.
You were spaced out during homeroom, too.
And you were grinning every now and then.
You've been weird ever since
we went to Hiro-chan's place.
Did something happen?
Er, no, not really.
Well, whatever.
Anyone who's going has to
form a group and submit it.
Okay, it's yours now.
What, like it's not your problem?
Well, I'm not going.
Listen
I'm sure you know, but I'm the
daughter of a hotel tycoon.
I'm famous.
It's my policy to never participate in
school activities, for security reasons.
You know, so I don't get abducted
and held for ransom and stuff.
Y-You do?
I feel like you've been out all the time.
That's only ever since I met you.
I was more strict about it before.
Also, I'm not even interested to begin with.
Go have fun, Nagi-kun.
Wait.
I'm not going, either. Take it back.
School activities are a waste of time.
I'd rather be studying at home.
That's what I did as a first-year, too.
Oh, right. You don't have any friends.
I won't deny it, but you're
in no position to talk.
I don't know, though
I think you should join in this time.
Group member submission
(At least two)
Group leader:
That's it!
Library
Though, then again
Segawa-san's popular, so I'm
sure she has a group already.
Morning.
M-Morning.
I'm usually the first one here.
You're here early today.
So
About the field trip
The field trip?
I'd like you to join my group.
Sure.
Let's do group stuff together.
P-Please and thank you!
All right!
Oh, man, where should we go?
Also, what should we bring for snacks?
Okay.
Group member submission
(At least two)
Group leader: Umino Nagi
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hSegawa Hiro
I-I wrote down Segawa-san's name!
I never would have thought the
Segawa-san would give me the okay.
Could she have been waiting
for me to invite her?
Sorry.
I want to be in a group
with people I'm close to.
I see it now.
All right.
I need to get this handed in.
Enter the itinerary for the day, huh?

Destination: Kamakura (rain or shine)
Itinerary to be determined by each group
What to bring:
- Field trip pamphlet
- Materials needed for your group's assignment
And we're going to Kamakura
Huh
Umino-kun.
It's so quiet, huh?
I'm getting kind of nervous.
I heard that if you pull out a gray hair,
you end up with three more.
Sheesh.
You're so funny.
I wish we could do this forever.
This is a date, isn't it?
We're collecting shrine stamps, obviously.
S-Segawa-san?!
You still haven't submitted the itinerary?
Well, I was thinking about what to
What is there to think about?
Kamakura means shrine stamps.
But if we're going, why not the
beach or art museum or something?
I'm not interested.
Of course
Just so you know, I'm going
to collect more than you.
I-I won't be that easy to beat.
Wh-What?
Nothing.
You know, though
I just can't wait for the trip.
Yeah.
Isn't it safe to call this a date?
It's really pouring now.
It's not going to clear up, is it?
D-Does this mean
An opportunity to walk home
under the same umbrella?!
Segawa-san, if you don't mind
Wanna walk to the station together?
Y-Yeah
I don't know what I was expecting.
So you were going to invite
Amano-san, too, then?
Yeah. We don't get to go
on field trips that often,
so I was hoping I could go
with the whole study group.
I-I had no idea.
Erika-chan says she can't make
it due to family reasons, though.
So I thought, since you two are close.
Never happening.
Really?
B-By the way
About my confession
Um So, like, y'know
You're going to process my confession once
I beat you ten more times in exams, right?
Was that really the agreement?
I told you I'm engaged.
B-But that's not what you want, is it?
See, Umino-kun,
when I say "engaged," I mean that it's
something my parents decided for me.
I can't do anything about it.
Do you get it now?
That's just how Dad is.
But that's not—
That's how I've lived my life.
Ever since I was born,
I've kind of been a slave to my fate.
You know, though
Just hypothetically
I've never lost to anyone before,
but supposing I ever do
Would my fate change if I
met someone that amazing?
Umino-kun
Could you please change my fate?
Bring it on! Bring it on!
Bring it on, damn it!
I'm going to beat you in exams!
Shut up!
Leave me alone! I'm about to
Hey, do you know this guy from our class?
What do you want now?
How would I know some random dude?
It looks like this guy's in your group, though.
Huh?!
Wh-What's going on?
He's one of my fans, apparently.
Your fan?
A stalker?
Why do you assume all my fans are stalkers?!
He even knows that the three of
us are morning study buddies.
He's seen us?
He figured our study group
would be forming a group,
so he begged the teacher
and forced his way in.
I see
And so, I've decided to go
on the trip with you guys.
H-Huh?!
I'll take care of him for you.
Wait, "take care of him"?
I'm used to dealing with those kinds of fans.
Although I can't handle stalkers.
Well, if that's what you want to do.
Besides, I thought a field trip
would be all about visiting parks
or digging up potatoes or whatever.
But we're going to Kamakura, right?
What are you, a preschooler?
Read the handout.
I googled Kamakura,
and now I'm actually excited.
I bet I can get some great photos there!
So you go ahead and enjoy
your date with Hiro-chan.
Where should I take photos? The giant Buddha?
Can't go wrong with the beach, either.
What to do
She's just looking for an excuse to have fun.
A field trip
It's been years.
I can't sleep!
Kamakura Station
Okay, I'm going to take attendance.
Segawa-san.
Here.
Amano-san.
Here.
Asoma Shion-kun.
'Sup, 'sup, 'sup?!
Hey, besties! 'Sup?!
Heungh.
And I'm the group leader, Umino.
Field Trip Pamphlet
Kamakura
All four members confirmed.
I'm so glad you made it, Erika-chan.
Yeah.
I had to beg my dad.
You're welcome for having me!
Nice to meet you, too.
This guy's gonna be even more
of a pain than I thought.
Zaaaamn, I never thought I'd get
to be in a group with Erika-chan!
Am I tripping?
Right, boo?!
Yeah, nice to meet you.
I'm super happy you're here, too, Segawa-san!
All right, let's get going.
Hold it!
Umino-kun, got a minute?
So, like, anyway
The first time I saw Erika-chan on
social media, my heart went kaboom!
I smashed that like button
so hard with my e-love.
And now she's attending my school!
I'm dreaming, right?!
No, this is reality.
And she's even hotter in
person than in her photos.
That's so not a thing these days!
You dig, right?
I do not.
You're such a meanie, Nagi-kyun.
"-kyun"?!
Bruh, I DMed her one time, right?
But she swiped left on me,
even though I was killing it, right?
And, like, I was giving her all
the upvotes IRL, too, right?
He needs to stop saying "right."
But she blocked me anyway,
or like, ignored me, I guess, right?
So I'm gonna give it a mega-pint
of get 'em spirit this time.
I'm sure he's a nice enough guy,
but I can't stand his type.
So anyway
You mind if I go for Erika-chan?
Huh?
Wh-Why are you asking me?
Because you two seem close, you know?
Suit yourself!
Really?
Thankies!
Later!
I'm back!
What were you two talking about?
Do you really want to know?
What's up with him?
Sweet, sweet!
Well?
Totally grammable, right?
It's okay, I guess.
That's so little praise.
Okay, from over there this time, please.
Okie!
E-ri-ka-chan!
Ready?
Sorry, I want to get a
few more pictures taken.
I'll see you later.
Okay.
Let's go, Umino-kun.
O-Okay.
I see.
Good thinking, using him as a photographer.
Here we go!
Get some good pictures.
Nice!
Bam!
Nice.
It's really vibey.
Right? Right?
May I have a stamp, please?
Nice, nice! Looking good!
Oh, man, that's hilarious!
Don't go crazy with the filters!
Ready?
You're like Princess Kaguya.
Yup, I'm Princess Kaguya.
Whoo!
Yeah, that looks good!
Map of the Grounds
Right?
Umino-kun, stamp orders are over there.
Let's go.
Okay.
Hey, you two, we're moving.
Okay.
You two go ahead.
We're gonna look at the souvenirs here.
We'll be right back.
How about this one?
You'll go viral.
What's the point if you can't see my face?
Umino-kun?
We can't do that.
As the group leader, I can't have
the group getting separated.
Wait, really?
Come with me, you two.
Why is Nagi-kun being so stuck-up?
Bossman's so stiff.
All these photos kind of suck.
Your standards are so high.
Are you that worried about those two?
You've been watching them this whole time.
No, I was just keeping an eye
on them, as the group leader.
Those two always go off on their own.
Well, we're making them put up with
our stamp collecting, after all.
Are you not going to eat?
I-I am.
Have I been worried about them?
Oh, man, this is gonna be a great photo!
Grammable!
I don't mind the photos, but it's almost
our meet-up time. We should get back.
Erika-chan, I'mma go buy
some grammable ice cream.
Huh?!
Thanks!
Huh?
Where's Segawa-san?
She didn't go to get stamps
by herself, did she?
Well, what did you expect?
That was a bit much, even for a group leader.
More like supervision than leadership.
You ruined my plan.
That's because you two kept vanishing.
That was the plan, wasn't it?
I wonder where Hiro-chan went.
I wanted to get some pictures with her.
I even made sand art.
Whatever, I'll just do it with you.
I'll pass.
Don't worry.
I won't post it by accident this time.
Okay, hand me your phone.
Yeah, it's perfect.
The art's in the shot, too.
Hey, it's obviously no good!
Why am I by myself when it says "friend"?
What happened to my friend?!
I-It expresses the loneliness of
Segawa-san's absence, though.
I can't!
Give it to me!
Wait! I'll take a proper one this time!
Sorry.
Yeah, I knew it.
I still think the pictures you
take end up being the best.
I didn't really intend it. My hand slipped.
That's good enough.
Although I can't post it,
so it's still a dud.
Maybe I'll just post that loner pic instead.
It might go viral by some miracle.
Come to think of it, didn't you say
there's someone you want to reach?
Is that what you came to do today, too?
Amano-san?
Wanna know?
Your fate might change if I tell you.
