Watamote ch204-3: Since I'm Not Popular, It's Almost Time For the School Festival (Part 3)

p1
>Live Sound

p1
>Alright, hopefully we can start filming for real today.
>OK~

>Let's begin with Nemoto-san's scene. Ready...
>Mm
>Kiss...
>Shlurrp
>Suck
>Suck
>Shlurp
>Don't make such obscene noises. It's echoing throughout the entire room.

>Cut!
>Phew~

>That was some amazing acting just now.
>Eh!?

p2
>It was incredibly realistic.
>Only veterans who've done it countless times can pull off that kind of acting.

>...
>Not at all.

>Don't be so modest.
>I've never heard sounds as vulgar as those before.
>Is that what the real thing sounds like?
>No. I've never done it.

>Then what is it? You can make lewd sounds like that just from your imagination?
>What kind of daily life do you lead to be able to think of obscene noises like that!?

>It's cos I've been playing obscene eroge, okay!!

p3
>Student Council Members

>You have one week to gather members and assemble them on the grounds.
>If you can beat us at baseball, we won't abolish your club.
>Wait, we're a culture club. What's baseball got to do with anything?
>Sorry~ Our vice-pres is a bit of a meathead, so we're gonna have to settle this with sports.

>Hey, I know you cast me as student council president and all, but wouldn't Fuuka be a better fit for that role?
>In my head, both Miho-san and F-Fuuka feel like student council presidents,

>but the student council president is a role I'm pretty attached to, so letting Fuuka-san play her feels like blasphemy.
>Just what is your image of me?
>A pretty gorilla.

p4
>What's my role like?
>Eh?

>A face that blends in just about anywhere (Extra)
>>Background character
>Waaaah
>>Crowd
>Kyaa~ Kya~
>>Audience
>Waah Waah~ Waah~

>Maybe you could be the student council's secretary...?
>>gross

p5
>Everyone's Different Feelings

>Prince, as a final memory, will you dance with me?

>Fine, I'll dance.
>Ah, stop for a moment.

>Ah, Kuroki-kun. Could you put just a little bit more emotion into it?
>Also, that prattle sounds more like it'd come from a kind monster than a prince...

>We should just have Tomoki-kun and Akari hug each other.
>That should provide some emotion, right?
>Ah...
>Erm...
>Sayaka... Don't go causing trouble for people besides me.
>Go stand over there.

p6
>Well, why don't we just run with it?
>Ah, sure...
>Let's go over this scene again with Yoda-san.
>Huh?
>Sayaka, you can come back now.

>Prince, as a final memory, will you dance with me?
>Hold it right there!

>Why is a dredge of society like Cinderette talking with the prince?
>Prince, why don't you come outside with me instead?

>Don't talk.
>I'll kill you.
>Ah, sorry. On second thought, stop.

>Kuroki-kun, that was the most emotion you've shown so far,
>but the line is completely wrong. You sound more like a punk than a prince.

p7
>Sorry.
>I was really into my role.
>I don't really get it, but I can tell you're being honest, Kuroki-kun...

>The script aside, I have a small suggestion regarding the acting.
>Eh? You do, Kuroki-kun!?

>I want to low kick to the princess' sister in that scene just now.
>Was my acting great or what?
>Yeah...
>What kind of suggestion is that!?

>Princes don't do low kicks.
>It could be a new kind of prince.
>At the very least, the prince in the original story is a fairytale prince, not a violent one...

>It's surprisingly tough dealing with everyone's selfish ideas.
>Hey, you're the director, right?

>I have a suggestion for the prince's outfit.
>Instead of tights for his lower half, you could make him wear a baseball uniform instead.
>It'd be perfect for him.
>Eh? Who are you?

p8
>Acting Theory

>That should be enough filming for today.
>Yeah.
>But still, I'm surprised at how good your acting was too, Fuuka.
>Really?

>She can do pretty much anything except study.
>I can study if I try.

>>Nekowaza Bookstore

>The how-to books are over here.

>!
>!
>>Acting for Beginners: It all begins here

>Your Tomoko's...
>Hello...
>That's the boy Yoshida-san was talking to.

p9
>So, Yuri, you had a friend who's a boy, huh?
>He's not so much a friend than he is Tomoko's little brother...
>Did you not know that, Mako?

>Kuroki-san's little brother...!?
>Is that why he was with Yoshida-san...?
>Then he's the boy who saw her naked!?
>But how did she become naked in Kuroki-san's house!?

>Yuri, could you ask him a few things for me?
>Like his relationsip with Yoshida-san or what he did to her while she was naked...
>Eh? I don't want to.
>Yuriiiii!!!

>Yuri...!! Quit being selfish and listen to my selfishness... Yuri!!

p10
>That guy...!?
>And he's with Makocchi and Tamura...san? Seriously, this kid knows way too many third years.

>Why did you want to read a book on acting?
>We're doing a play for the festival...

>I'm trying to do it normally,
>but I just can't seem to pull it off, so I thought I'd study up on it.
>Same here.

>I'm torn between the movie-like acting everyone wants and the acting I envision in my head.

>Hm? Yuri?

p11
>In Japanese dramas and movies these days, they have all these young actors who can cry and shout loudly and make bold expressions.
>There's a lot of people who do that kind of acting.

>But the movies I often watch are foreign films where the actors have natural and realistic performances.
>They don't act like the young idol actors of Japan.

>Why are you suddenly talking about foreign films... Yuri?

>But Mako, Tomoko and the others only watch Japanese romance dramas and anime, so that's the kind of performance they want from me.
>And now she's criticising me and the others.

>So even if I have my own idea of acting, my job is to match the level that the director and audience is expecting.
>For someone who can't act, she can really talk about her theories on acting!!

>Nobody knows that my smile is just a mask that hides an expressionless face.
>And now she's being a braggart and saying it's all just an act...!!

p12
>Sarcasm and Restraint

>Well, I need to go.

>You're really talkative today, Yuri. Did something good happen?

>Tamura-san.
>!

>For someone who was always quiet around us,
>you've become quite the chatterbox, huh?
