(There might be a little too much going on... But I guess that can't be helped since everyone gave me so many ideas...)

No, come join us!
Kusanagi worked really hard on it, so we should read through it together! Here, sit with us!

So, this story takes place way in the future...
And a series of disasters has led humanity to the brink of extinction...

Food has become scarce with the land now arid and no longer producing crops, causing great suffering.
Akito
However, a number of the privileged employ cooks from the “Dark Culinary Society” to hoard all the food for themselves so that they can live in luxury.
Akito
One man saw this injustice and stood up...
They call him the “Wandering Cook”. The freedom fighter who's sworn to make food for those in desperate need...

And so, with stomachs rumbling, the battle between the Dark Culinary Society and the Wandering Cook will soon begin...
Nene
Y-Yeah, I get how you feel...
It sorta just ended up like this after trying to work in everybody's ideas...

That's amazing, Kusanagi.
You managed to get all those different ideas to work as a coherent story.

Nene
I-I'm not sure coherent is the right word... I asked some friends for help, but I'm still a little worried...
An
Now that you've drafted a screenplay for us, Kusanagi, we can really get the ball rolling. What else do we still need to come up with...?
Nene
I'm still not sure about that either...
I was thinking that we should start by splitting into groups.

Nene
Yeah, all films involve a lot of different people and groups working together. Actors, costume designers, cinematographers, prop designers, editors...
Nene
But I don't know how we're going to decide the groups... It'd be great if we could have people with knowledge about those fields...
Nene
(The thought of talking to her never really crossed my mind since it feels like we live in completely different worlds...)
Tachibana
You called? What's up?
Nene
(Whoa... Her makeup looks even more conspicuous up close...! H-How am I supposed to talk to her...?)
Tachibana
Oh, the director's here.
Is this about the festival?

Nene
U-Umm...
So, we were just looking for someone to talk to about costumes for the film, and your name came up...

Really?! You can count on me.
I love designing clothes and stuff.

Here, take a look.
It's a little beat up, but...

(And there's dozens of pages...
She's even gone into really fine detail... Which fabrics to use, how to get these shapes and even the concepts for each design.)

Tachibana
Yeah, because I wanna become a fashion designer. I try to come up with new ideas every day.
Tachibana
Hey, you don't have to go there!
I mean, An, you're one to talk.

Tachibana
Anyway, ask me whatever you want about this stuff. I'll be more than happy to help...
Tachibana
Then, let me know once you know what you wanna do.
Classmates
H-Huh?
What's going on?
What's going on?
An
There's some things we wanna ask you guys regarding the arts festival. Do you mind helping us out?
Female Students
Ooh, is this about our film?
Male Students
Come to think of it, nothing's really been decided yet.
Nene
So, in order to get it off the ground, we're gonna need to figure out how to film it and edit and stuff. I don't know how to do a lot of those things, so...
Classmates
About filming...
Amisawa
Oh, I know a few things about shooting films and stuff because it's my dad's hobby!
Amisawa
We might have some spare equipment lying around at home. I'll ask to see what he'll let me borrow...!
Soda
Like I mentioned the other day, since we're doing an action film, we've got plenty of judo and karate club members ready to help!
Soda
Not just judo and karate. Boxing too...
We've got a lot of skilled martial artists who've been training since they were little!

Also, this is a class project. It wouldn't be fair for us to make you do everything, Kusanagi.
Amisawa
I agree! We're sorry about not helping you sooner, so please let us know what you need.
Classmates
Yeah...
Let's make our film a good one, Director!
