My Dress-Up Darling (2022) s01e08 Episode Script

1
What? Wait.
Really? Oh, my god!
I really like this one too.
This one is so cute!
She's an angel! Lady JuJu is so cute!
You took all of these, right?
What?
Yes.
That's really amazing!
I really love the photos you took!
Thank you so much.
I only asked for a photo shoot,
and she's the one who created
my cosplayer name and account.
Really?
But why is that?
Well, you see
She doesn't show her photos to anyone.
And then I thought, "I want someone
to see these cute photos of my sister."
I asked my sister
whether I could create an account.
And then, it got a lot of good feedback,
and a lot of people
were praising my sister!
But I didn't know
how to reply to strangers online,
so I ended up ignoring them all.
So that's why
you're not involved with anyone.
Yes.
I'm doing it for my own self-satisfaction,
so I don't care about anyone's impression.
But you've got a lot of followers,
and I think you're really cute,
and that makes me happy.
Shinju.
Yes?
You really like Lady JuJu a lot,
don't you?
Yes!
I really love her!
Oh, my!
Looking happy, aren't you?
Shut up!
For the camera,
we borrowed our father's SLR camera.
That's so cool!
Is your father a photographer?
No, cameras are merely his hobby.
So mature!
This is a camera where you don't have
to change lenses, so it's convenient.
-I see.
-Do you have to change the lenses?
You can change it
depending on your preferences.
When you change the lens,
even though you take the same photo,
the results could vary, and it's fun.
I have a question.
Oh, sure, Gojo.
Is there any big difference compared
to doing it with a smartphone?
Yes. After all, you can do many
expressions paired with high resolution.
For example, if you are taking
a photo with flowers in the background,
you can blur the background
to make the cosplayer stand out,
you can blur the foreground to create
a gentle atmosphere for your photo.
And if you control the shutter speed,
you can capture falling petals in a blur.
That's awesome.
How nice.
And it sounds so fun.
Yes!
Taking photos just as I imagined,
and accidentally taking a picture with
a good expression makes me really happy.
I want to get better,
and take a lot of cute photos.
Moreover, it's Lady JuJu's picture.
It's exciting, right?
Yes.
By the way,
you're not doing cosplay yourself?
What?
When you see others cosplaying,
doesn't that make you want to do it too?
It's so cute and fun, too!
It makes you go,
"I want to do it too!" or something.
I
So you wanted to cosplay too?
No
No! Not in a million years!
I love taking photos of my sister,
so I won't do it myself.
So that's the reason, huh?
Yes!
Hey, Shinju,
can I see your camera for a sec?
Sure.
Cameras are so cool!
I want to take pretty photos
with blurry backgrounds too!
I've got to save up and buy one soon!
How much does an SLR camera cost?
Oh, there it is.
What?
What?
What?
LENS SOLD SEPARATELY
"Lens sold separately"?
Look at you screaming!
If you buy a tripod and a strobe light
as well, it will cost more.
What?
10,000 YEN
Really?
Come on. Cheer up, Gojo!
During the event the other day,
I never thought the stuff everyone
was carrying was this expensive.
Crazy, right?
Well, until I save enough money,
I guess I'll keep using
a smartphone for photos.
Oh, Kitagawa is not hesitating
to buy this at all.
There are many types of cameras out there,
so you have to choose a reasonable one.
Speaking of which
-Thank you!
-We're planning to scout for studios.
Do you guys want to tag along?
This is our first time renting a studio,
so I thought it would be better
if we looked around first.
Yes! We're definitely coming with you!
It will be our pleasure.
Well, let's meet
at Shim-Misato Station on the weekend.
Okay!
As for the location
It's an abandoned hospital studio.
So there's a studio like this too, huh?
This is my first time going inside
an abandoned building!
Me too!
I was really looking forward to today,
so I didn't get much sleep yesterday.
Oh, cool! This is nice!
-Oh, my. So this is how it feels.
-I guess
When defeated by Princess Daisy,
Black Lily would've taken refuge
in abandoned hospitals like this one.
You're right.
It's a dark turn of events,
but I really like the scene
where the defeated
Shion starts questioning herself.
MUMBLING
Wait. You really watched
every single episode, didn't you?
Gojo, we're going to check upstairs.
Okay.
Let's go, Shinju.
-Yes!
-It's got the atmosphere, right?
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Could it be that
you can't handle this kind of place?
Of course not! What are you talking about?
Come on! We're going!
So she can't handle it.
Well
This feels good, but
Isn't it a bit too dark?
I have a strobe light, so it's fine.
Isn't that invincible?
With a strobe light and a reflector board,
we can do outdoor photo shoots,
so they're good to have.
Even when it's already bright outside?
Yes.
What?
On a sunny day, it's so bright
that you can't open your eyes,
so we're using backlight.
The skin texture will look beautiful too.
But if we do that,
the face will look darker.
I see!
So using the reflector board
will make it look brighter!
Yes! It also makes your wig look shiny,
and you can make it look glossy as well.
That's very cool!
Teach that to Gojo as well!
I recommend backlight.
It looks like it's going to rain.
Yes.
Oh, I would love to do it
in a bright place someday.
By the way, when you girls do
an outdoor photo shoot, where do you go?
To our garden.
It's raining, huh?
Are you okay?
Inui?
I'm okay! I'm just tired!
She doesn't seem to be okay.
Should we wait at the entrance?
No!
I'll finally be able to cosplay
as Black Lily,
so if we don't check
the location thoroughly,
we won't be able to take good photos.
I'll go to check it,
so please wait at the entrance.
Wait. I can do it myself
But you're pushing
yourself now, aren't you?
Is there any reason behind it?
You
Do you have a dream about your future?
Yes.
I want to be a Hina doll artisan,
the craftsman who makes the dolls' faces.
That's a wonderful dream.
You have to make it come true.
As for me
I wanted to become a Magical Girl.
Strong, sparkling, and cool,
wearing all sorts of frilly clothes.
Ever since I was a child,
I was obsessed with Magical Girls.
"Once I grow up,
I'll become a Magical Girl!"
That was what I really thought back then.
But you would soon realize it
when you entered school, right?
All of that was just fiction,
so no matter how hard I tried
and prayed to become a Magical Girl,
my dream would never come true.
But when I was in middle school
I found out that they sold
the costumes for Magical Girls.
But I didn't have
any knowledge of cosplay,
so I didn't know how to set my wig.
I didn't do makeup either,
and the costume's size didn't fit me,
so it looked too big.
My first cosplay was a complete mess.
But even so, I was so happy.
Even if it's unreasonable,
even if all of it's just fake,
I want to make my dream come true.
Inui.
Yes?
If that costume is so important to you,
why did you ask me to make it?
There are a lot of people
who are better than me.
It's not too late now to ask someone else.
But why does it have to be me?
I
When I saw Marin Kitagawa's photo,
I felt jealous.
I knew that it wouldn't do me
any good to feel jealous,
but I really felt
immense jealousy back then.
"I want to wear the costumes
made by this person."
"It has to be made by this person."
Sure, there are a lot of people out there
who can make better costumes.
But
Sorry, I can't really explain it.
I'm sure it doesn't make sense to you now.
But I'm sure at that time,
I fell in love at first sight.
-What?
-With the costume that you made.
To be honest,
I'm surprised that I'm jealous.
But you don't feel jealous
of things you don't care about, right?
Beautiful, isn't it?
We made these Hina dolls, you know.
Isn't that amazing?
Yes, it's amazing.
Amazingly beautiful.
It's the most beautiful thing
in the world.
"In the world," you say?
There are many doll shops,
so I tried so hard to make dolls
that catch people's eyes
and make them think,
"This one is the best."
So hearing you say that
this is the best thing in the world
really makes me happy.
What do you mean
by "catching people's eyes"?
What? Well, how do I say it?
It's "to fall in love
at first sight," maybe.
Me too.
What?
When I grow up,
I want to be a Hina doll artisan.
I want to be like you.
-Wakana.
-What?
You can also be like me if you train hard.
What
Grandpa
What? Hey, what the
Why are you crying? What?
What's going on here?
What's wrong with you? Hey!
Say something, damn it!
Thank you so much!
I finally understand why at that time,
my grandpa felt so happy!
So this is how it feels!
-I'll do my best so that I'll be
-Sajuna Inui, 17 years old.
Enrolled in an all-girls school
with an escalator system,
she never had any chance
to hold hands with the opposite sex.
Today was her first time.
-Inui? What's wrong, Inui?
-Gojo?
-That was some lightning. Are you okay?
-Are you okay? Inui!
FINALS
-Gojo.
-What?
Let's go to the beach!
Right now!
What?
It's not beach-going season yet,
so there's no one around.
Isn't that great?
It's just as if we booked this beach!
We really came.
Hey.
Are we here today for a photo shoot?
What?
Back when we were scouting for spots,
you said you wanted
to take photos with backlight, right?
Where you can look attractive.
What?
What?
No, not at all.
We're done with our finals, right?
Yes.
And it's July, right?
It's summer, right?
"Let's go to the beach!"
Or something along the lines.
Going to the beach in our uniform,
isn't that the essence of youth?
It feels nice!
I forgot!
Kitagawa is "that" type of person!
A woman of action!
The wind breeze feels good.
Gojo, give me the potatoes.
Okay.
Potato.
What?
What?
-What?
-What?
Hey!
That's my burger!
It's still following us.
How about we eat at a different place?
Well, we've come all this way.
Don't you want to drink tapioca
while looking at the sea?
I've even bought the leisure seat.
If the bird were to take our food again,
then that's it!
All right, then.
Gojo?
Give up on your potatoes!
Let's go as far away as possible
while we still can.
There's still one hamburger left!
Oh, no. I littered.
Let's go!
Goodbye, Mister Eagle!
Here you go.
Isn't that yours? Is it okay?
Yes.
Thank you.
Here.
It's really delicious.
I'll dig in.
I didn't know you could
put whitebait in a burger.
Yes.
Dang! This tapioca is yummy!
Do you want a sip, Gojo?
What? No, I'm fine.
I see.
The wind feels so good.
You're right.
All right.
Time to enjoy the sea.
Please hold this.
What? Are you going to swim?
Of course not! Only my feet.
This is an impulsive trip,
so I didn't bring my swimsuit.
It's cold! That feels really good!
How carefree she is.
Awesome!
Hey! Look at this super seaweed!
Awesome! Hilarious!
Look over here, Gojo!
I am "looking."
You should join in, Gojo!
This water is the best!
Oh, okay!
Come on! Hurry up!
Wait a minute!
My, the waves!
It's so cold! That's awesome!
Oh, the sand!
My feet are sinking!
You're way too nervous!
Is this your first time at sea
or something?
Oh, yes.
What?
You're kidding. Really?
Well, Saitama doesn't have
a sea, after all.
No, that's not what I mean.
I
Ever since I was a child,
I only had eyes for Hina dolls.
I imitated my grandpa.
It was fun to practice face-painting.
I was so absorbed with it,
that I didn't give attention
to anything else.
That's why there are so many places
I've never visited.
The other day, Grandpa told me
to look at a lot of things.
It's true, isn't it?
It's way different
than seeing it on TV or in photos.
It's nice, right?
The sea.
It's beautiful.
Then go to many other places with me!
It's almost summer break, right?
I'm seriously inviting you!
That's why we should go.
The two of us!
Is it okay?
I'm looking forward to it!
I'm happy.
Oh, I
I'm kind of thirsty.
I'm going to drink the tea.
Okay.
I went in and said "the two of us!"
This is bad! I'm freaking out!
Wait! He can't find out
that my face is red!
It's too embarrassing!
Wait.
Even though it's summer break,
we can meet so much!
Oh, that's impossible.
This is bad!
What?
Gosh
It's true.
He looks so good.
What?
Gojo?
My body!
My body! Seaweed!
It's so slimy.
Are you okay, Gojo? What are you doing?
I tried to go deeper
and slipped on the seaweed.
You're soaked!
Oh, I have to go home. What should I do?
Dry it! Maybe!
