Watamote 212: Since I'm Not Popular, It's the Last Scene

p1
>A chance meeting will soon occur.

p2
>Naruse-san, this one's wrong.
>That one's wrong too, Fuuka.
>I'm sure I did the right calculations.
>No, this is Japanese history.

>!?
>Mokocchi!
>Eh?

>Are the school festival preparations going okay?
>Yeah. We were just about to discuss that now.

p3
>So, what do we do? Tomorrow's probably the last chance we'll get to film anything.

>Wasn't there at least something noncommittal written for the ending in the scenario we got?
>>A bunch of stuff happened and it's basically a HAPPY END - Fin
>There definitely wasn't anything concrete written.

>Well, I did have a vague idea, but it wasn't very interesting,
>so I was gonna change it once I thought of a different idea.
>We don't have any time left, so we'll have to go with your uninteresting idea.

>Since we'll be shooting tomorrow anyway,
>we may as well spend today thinking it over.
>But we can't think of anything...

p4
>Think you can come up with any ideas?
>Eh?

>Hmm, let's see... I wonder if there's any good ideas for how to end it...
>That is a tough one.
>Then how about asking everyone what their favorite endings are? It might make for good reference.

>I like developments where heroes have to sacrifice themselves to save the world.
>That's pretty grandiose.
>Sorry, Tomo-chan. I sincerely doubt that's gonna be useful.

>...Actually, unbelievable thinking like that might be better.
>If anything, limiting our thinking to the school and common sense would just make it uninteresting.
>What endings do you like, Yuu-chan? Like in movies or anime. Anything's fine.
>Eh?

p5
>Erm... I like the ones where they get married and live happily ever after~
>The so-called pregnancy ending, huh?
>Who calls it that?

>I can't think of a favorite last scene,
>but I love stories where love and friendship grow in the workplace.
>That S*x and the City film I saw with Miho and the others the other day was fun.
>Yeah~
>We watched that.
>It's that film, right...? The one loved by manga women who often criticise The D*rk Knight on the web...

>You got anything, Miho?
>Hmm~
>I think there was another film that I watched with you guys.

>I forget the title, but it's something Kaho brought over...
>It was about a worthless protagonist who just left prison getting along with a girl she kidnapped...
>At the end, he intends to kill someone before killing himself, but instead gives up and chooses the girl.

p6
>Buffal* 66!!

>What about you, Nemo?
>Well, as far as anime's concerned, I like the endings where they just continue to live their daily lives together.
>They're pretty sad in their own way, though.

>And you, Yuri-chan?
>I'm betting ones where they die in the end, right?
>I don't like death or anything.
>There's just so happens to be a lot of death in the films I like sometimes.

>So the same films as me, then?
>The kind I like aren't about dying for someone else's sake.
>They mainly either die pointless deaths or commit suicide for their own sake.

p7
>Films don't need to cater to people with easily understandable messages and themes about good or evil.
>But that's not to say I like films that are completely incomprehensible on purpose.
>I like films the directors themselves thought were interesting as they filmed them.
>Sure, an ending is better than none at all, but we don't need an ending that's pandering to someone.

>You give this girl the slightest opening and she starts chattering away about movies!!

>Buffal* 66.
>Eh!?

>The film you were talking a moment ago.
>I love it too.
>Y-Yeah, that's the one!
>You sure know your movies, Yuri-chan~

>Yuri-chan...!

p8
>So, think that'll help?
>Ah, yeah. I should have some hints now.

>Okay, it's 6pm now, so lets get this ending done before 10pm.
>Eh? We're not going home until it's finished?

>This part here.

p9
>Hurry up and write something already.
>Hold on. I'm thinking.

>You certainly don't look like you're thinking.
>Don't judge people by their expression.

>Despite how I look, my brain's running at full power.
>Doesn't look very powerful to me.

>This is just how people look when they're thinking seriously.
>Yuri-chan, try thinking seriously about world peace for a second.
>Eh?

>See?
>She looks like she's not thinking about anything.
>That's because she isn't thinking about anything...

>I am thinking, though.
>You try thinking too, Nemo. Like about your future or something.
>Wait, what is this?

p10
>That's not a thinking expression. That's just acting.
>A useless idol act.

>It's because of performers like you who only act with their faces that Japanese films are getting worse, Nemoto-san.
>You're just using this pointless exercise to speak ill of me and Japanese films, aren't you?

>Look at Yuu-chan studying Japanese. Now that's the face of someone thinking seriously.
>She's thinking so hard that her facial expressions are pretty much dead.
>Think about it logically and choose.
>Log.
>Okay, I get it already. Just get thinking and writing already.

>If this is a thinking expression championship, Fuuka's got you beat.
>Since when did this become a championship...?

>She seems to be thinking about something right now...
>It's certainly got a different level of realism from the rest of us.

p11
>Ramen...
>No!!
>Udon...!!
>It's udon!!

>I'm just gonna step outside to order some udon.
>You were just thinking about food, huh...
>At this hour?

p12
>It's done.
>Eh!?

>You haven't written anything.
>It's done in my head.
>I'll type it out on my PC later.

>If you could do it that easily, you should've finished it earlier.
>Oh, you're awake.
>No, I thought of it from everyone's ideas.

>I wanted a more "it's over~!"
>kinda ending.
>Well, this isn't a movie. It's real life.

>A bunch of stuff happened and it's a HAPPY END.
>Their everyday life will continue. The end.

>Tomorrow, this movie will come to an end...

p13
>School Festival in just 2 days
>Okay, let's start filming the last scene.

>What kind of development is this?
