The filming continued on until evening.

The scene that was Tsurayuki and Kawasegawa’s point of argument earlier became a never ending back and forth between them.\nSo even after the filming was over we still had to a lot of trial and error.\n 

“Rather than putting the refreshing sandy beach and the blue sky as the background I do think it’s better for to agree with the backlit scene illuminated by the setting sun.

Dir. Kawasegawa was satisfied with Tsurayuki’s proposal. 

Corresponding in places like on the spot policies just like this is also one of my roles as a producer.

 Obtaining an extension of approval from the actor-san who requested an extra, Asking permission from the person managing the beach that filming time would be extended, checking the timetable for the support staff who are coming here on a daytrip from afar, giving, and after all the confirmation in the end phase, starting giving instructions about the extension.

By the time we got on the train home after filming it was already completely dark.\nAlthough the beach was only three stations away from the resort that was accommodating us but I think everyone was already burned out as almost everyone drift onto dream land as soon as they sat down.

“Fuwaa~~~  As expected, completely letting loose makes one sleepy~~”\n\n 

And speaking of the survivors Nanako was already in a state of being half-dreaming

\n “We’re almost there so try to hang on”

“Mhmhm, I know…but I’m just so sleepy…”

She shakes her head as if she was fighting the drowsiness.

Voicing out complaints couldn’t be helped as she continued to act with everything she’s got all the way through.

“Well, but you see Isn’t everyone irreplaceable besides me? If that’s the case it wouldn’t be good for if I didn’t do my best.”

Thinking bout it though, this work was planned based on Nanako being the actress.\n 

“When I perform like earlier I get a great sense of accomplishment, I guess I like doing this kind of stuff, is what I think”

Nanako didn’t particularly have any particular goals in mind when she enrolled into  Geidai, so I’m actually very happy with her thinking about acting as she does now.\n\n 

“I’m glad you found something that you really want to do.”\n“Yup, Though that just means that I’ll just have to work harder from now on.”

 She says as if she was persuading herself.\n 

“It would be nice though if I could become accustomed to other people watching me though, even if just a little. ”\n“….Yeah,  I do think you think to try hard with that too... ”

 However, Nanako is extremely shy.\nIf someone really wanted to be an actor, I do think that it’s better to be more open with the idea of being seen by others.\n 

“Uwah, It’s already this dark”

Together with Nanako we admired the view outside the slightly open window as the salty tang of the sea wafts in. 

The darkened sea layed there endlessly. It’s hard to believe that it was the same place that was filled with white, blue, and smiles just a while ago.

“The air around here is completely different from the neighborhood of the university. Lake Biwa really does feel different compared to the sea.

Nanako smirked as she said so.\nShe was originally from the Shiga prefecture, It seems she thought that Lake Biwa that spread before her eyes was the see.

 \n 

“This place is still in the Kansai Region, but it’s pretty far away.”

“I agree, It feels like I went on an excursion, the moment I heard about this place I thought that a daytrip wouldn’t be possible”

“Yeah, It’s really tough unless you stay overnight”

It takes more than 2 hrs by car ride from the university to Shirahama.

 (TN- It’s true it does take a 2hr car ride based on google maps)

“Although there were a lot of cuts, I still think going here was the right call.”

Kawasegawa woke up before I noticed and interjected in the conversation from the side.

“The schedule was set up with a margin for error, I think we made good progress.”\n“Thanks. I feel grateful for your words Kawasegawa.”

Even though it feels like she only approves those with experience in production.\n 

“However there are some things that don’t add up”

*hmmm*

She puts her hands over her hands over her mouth and thinks about something.

“What’s the matter? Didn’t things end smoothly?”

 Nanako asked.

Kawasegawa then looked over at me with suspicion in her eyes.

“It’s the equipment. We can’t borrow the filming equipment across days as first years.”

The Film Department rents out equipment for filming. The borrowing period starts Monday to Saturday at 10am in the morning and to be returned at 5pm in the evening. For freshmen there is a rule were they required to return the equipment on the same day as the. The first years were still immature in the comprehension and handling of the equipment so its been judged that it is not necessary for them to film for long periods of time.

“However, this time a location for 3 days and 2 nights was arranged for us with the equipment. It’s strange no matter how you think about it.”

“Now that you say it… It really is huh”

Nanako expressed her curiosity too.

As expected of Kawasegawa, she really did notice that.

“That’s right. I have a teensy bit of a request for Kawasegawa about that”

“……As I thought, you are planning something.”

 With her expectations right on the money, Kawasegawa sighed.
