Yay! We're finally done filming!
W-wonderful work, P-President... Would you like some water?
Thanks, Tsukuyo.
I also b-brought a towel to wipe your b-brow... and some h-homemade lemon honey!
Wow! Really?
Heehee! Don't mind if I do!
We really make a great team, don't we? Like we were meant to be together.
And you were way more prepared than I expected, Tsukuyo!
Oh, it was n-nothing... That's what I'm h-here for...
Nonsense! You were so helpful at today's shoot!
If it weren't for your expert skills with that light reflector...
...we never would have caught that incredible scene!
The way the shadows wrapped around the ninja prisoner... Ah!
Th-That's true... Still... I wish I could be m-more helpful during filming...
The best I can ever h-hope to be is a filming assistant...
And I c-can't even do that well... Like this morning...
O-Okay! Hold the reflector. Simple...
Huh? Oh, um...
Hello, there. P-Please don't stand that close.
I'm doing something v-very important.
Weaving around my l-legs like that makes it hard for me to do my j-job.
Please! I don't want to get in t-trouble!
Whoa! Look at all those cats over there!
It's like some kind of cat family reunion!
That's so cool! I'm gonna take a picture!
Haha! That was quite a disaster, wasn't it?
*sniffle* It... It was another 30 minutes before... before we could start shooting again...
I-I'm so sorry, P-President!
It's all my f-fault!
It's not your fault, Tsukuyo.
They probably just saw all that sunlight and thought it would be a great place to nap.
*sniffle* Then... I-I'll have to bring treats to distract them n-next time.
Next time?! I doubt it'll happen again. There's no need to be that well-prepared!
We'll be just fine without cat treats.
What do you say, Dame Tsukuyo?
Let's forget about this morning and focus on what's next!
It's time to edit the video we captured today!
U-Understood!
About an hour later...
P-President! What's wrong?
It's n-not?
Not even close. I envisioned perfect composition, camera work, edits...
Between my eye and your skills, I thought...
Well, I thought it would have more bang!
And flash! It was going to be so cool!
But this... It doesn't have that panache I was going for. I can't upload this...
Oh no...
It's fine, I suppose. It happens to the best of us.
I'm so s-sorry! I hope it's not because of m-me!
Huh?
I wasn't g-good enough... You worked so hard, and I just g-got in the way!
I'm a t-terrible n-ninja! *sob*
It's not because of you, Tsukuyo!
You're still learning.
You can't blame yourself for not knowing everything.
*sob* R-Really...?
Really. Anyway I haven't liked a lot of our videos recently.
I think we're just running out of fresh ideas...
We might have to consider...
What?
A new club member.
A n-new club member!
I know the Ninjutsu Research Club isn't an official club yet.
So we don't get any club funds like the others.
Plus we're banished to a corner of Hyakkiyako... And we're basically trespassing anytime we go into the old school...
Uh...
But we can't let that stop us!
I want more people to learn about ninjas! I want everyone in Kivotos to see how cool and hip and awesome ninjas are!
It's been months since we started the "Michiruchi, a Girl's Ninja Scroll" channel to do just that...
But we have no more subscribers than when we started.
Worse, no one's interacting with our videos. Not even negative comments!
The only comment we got recently was this.
This one right here.
O.C. said, "This is so much fun! It's the best!"
But you wrote this comment, Tsukuyo!
That's b-because I really like your v-videos.
I d-don't always understand them, but...
I'm sorry.
No, no! I'm glad you like them. But commenting on our own videos is so...
Ugh. We just need new content, something fresh...
And a new club member is bound to freshen things up!
I doubt it. I don't think ninjas even exist anymore.
Oh, really? I d-didn't know that.
Yeah. I thought it was common knowledge.
Regardless, they existed at some point.
Which means we can still learn from their philosophy!
Once we've fully adopted the ninja mindset and ideology, we can consider ourselves true ninja companions!
The only problem is... Ninja companions are hard to find.
We need someone who doesn't think ninjas are stupid, agrees with us, and wants to join the Ninjutsu Research Club.
Someone who's perfectly in sync with us! And she should be cute, because... Well, what better way to represent ninjas?
I wonder if there's anyone like that out there?
What? You're super cute, Tsukuyo!
Oh, t-thank you. But since we're not an official club...
Do you think anyone will w-want to join?
Straight to the point, huh, Tsukuyo?
I'm s-sorry!
No, you're right. That's bound to be a problem.
But sitting around moping about it won't help.
We'll always succeed if we try hard enough! After all, we're ninja companions teaching the world about the ninja way of life!
And we're way past the point of being mere fans. We may as well call ourselves ninjas right now!
One day, everyone will know who we are, the Ninjutsu Research Club!
We'll never give up! No matter what!
Come on! Let's recruit a new club member and get more subscribers! We'll be an official club in no time!
Remember the philosophy in Ninja Ninpero.
A ninja never gives up, no matter the adversity!
Y-Yes!
Okay. Let me figure out what we'll be filming tomorrow. In the meantime, you can...
Huh?!
What?
We have a g-guest?
A guest here? Is that even possible?!
Hm...
Maybe it's Hyakkaryouran! Or a raccoon from the Yin-Yang Club?
I bet they found out we've been trespassing and came here to kick us out!
Kick us... Huh?!
I always knew this day would come.
President! What do we d-do?!
Stay calm, Tsukuyo! Remember that saying...
Even when facing a tiger, um... Remain calm, um... something, something... you'll succeed!
A t-tiger? That sounds scary!
Excuse me!
President?
Stuff it! We're not leaving! Long live the Ninjutsu Research Club!
...?
Wait... You don't look like you're from the Yin-Yang Club or Hyakkaryouran.
Who are y-you?
