God!
D-Danichirou-sama!
Rea?
Rea!
Danichirou-sama!
Thank goodness...
You're still alive.
But... you're all bloody.
Come, let's go to the hospital.
Is something wrong?
You have no pulse!
It's just as if...
That is right, I died.
And then I was reborn.
What do you mean?
Wait! Don't go.
My Rea...
No, I am no longer your daughter.
Because...
...I am...
...no longer human.
Why... did it turn out like this?
nemurenai yoru ni
眠れない夜に
What if the story I've heard
kiita monogatari ga
聞いた物語が
in sleepless nights
esoragoto datoshitara
絵空事だとしたら
is just a fantasy?
Sankarea
eien wo shiruyori
永遠を知るより
Perhaps to escape
kairaku wo motomete
快楽を求めて
from the shadows
ima wo kuyande shimaunowa
今を悔やんでしまうのは
which cling to my heart,
kokoro no fukaku ni
心の深くに
I regretted the present
sumi tsuita kage kara

and sought pleasure
nigeru tame datoshitara
逃げる為だとしたら
instead of knowing eternity.

Even so, as long as I can love myself,

the half-split Sun will bring the morning,

and will stimulate my nerves that've grown used to the darkness.

置き忘れた脳内はあえてそのままで
The forgotten thoughts are a story whose scenario has disappeared,

and I’ll just leave things that way.

自由に自由に舵を取って
More and more freely, I'll take the helm,

Hey, have you heard?
What?
Rea-sama has been sneaking out to see a guy recently.
#4 「An Ordinary... Girl...」
That's old news.
You want to know what's happened recently?
Eh, what is it?
It seems Rea-sama has run away.
Eh?!
No way!
What do you mean by that?
A-Aria-sama... Welcome home.
Welcome home.
What do you mean Rea ran away?
When Danichirou-sama returned, he said that Rea ran away.
How is he?
He has been in the bath the entire time since he returned.
The bath?
Move!
Quit just standing around!
Go tend to the garden or something!
It's this early, and she already reeks of alcohol.
Recently, she's been going to Host Clubs around noon.
Host Club?
You know, since Danichirou-sama won't keep her company,
she's been frustrated.
Dear!
What do you mean Rea ran away?
Even though she died,
she stood back up.
Huh?
She stood back up...
...and left me.
What are you saying?
In any case, if she runs away,
it will ruin my reputation as the School Board Head!
So, do you know where Rea is?
Most likely she's with a Shiyou High School boy named Furuya.
Furuya?
Who's he?
Fu... ruya...
That's it.
He...
That boy deceived my Rea.
He's the source of all this evil.
Furuya!
Wait for me, Rea.
I will free you from that bastard.
With my love, I will once again purify your body and soul!
At the Sanka Girls' Academy,
there is a special course called meishin.
All of the students sew earnestly for 10 minutes before the first period.
More than just learning how to sew,
it is a form of meditational training.
The class is held without fail every morning.
Furthermore, ever since I was a preschooler,
it's become a habit for me to perform meishin every morning.
Ah, I see.
So that's why you're able to sew your own wounds shut.
As if!
Ah, please hold it properly.
Just a little bit more.
I'm lucky that I can't feel any pain, aren't I?
You don't get it, do you?!
You really are dead!
Your skin is cold, you have no pulse, and your pupils are dilated.
How can you still laugh like this?
Because...
Because this is the first...
The first time I have been in a boy's room.
It makes me...
...happy.
Huh?
Aw, it's finally over.
Ranko-senpai!
Do you want to get some sweets on the way home?
I found a pretty stylish cafe.
Sorry, I was planning on going straight home today.
Ah, is that so?
That damn Chihiro.
He was so caught up in chasing Babu-chan...
...that he abandoned me in that small hole.
Unforgivable!
I'll strangle him.
What did you say?
Ah, nothing!
Huh?
The evening after rain is nice, is it not?
Don't tell me, today she...
No, she is planning on freeloading here from now on.
Hey, hey, Furuya-kun, can you see it?
Eh, I wasn't looking!
Look, up in that tree over there,
it's Babu-chan.
Over there.
You're right. Geez, making me worry like that.
Hey, Babu!
Babu.
His irises are back to normal.
Ba~bu.
It seems Babu-chan has a stuffy nose. Is he okay?
Ah, he's been like that since I first met him.
I even took him to the vet, but they couldn't cure it.
He's always meowed like that.
That's why he's Babu.
Is that so?
Man, he has no idea how much trouble he's caused us, and he's just lazing about.
Babu.
Babu thinks that tree is the most comfortable.
Eh?
You can understand what Babu is saying?
Somehow it seems like I can... you know?
Is it possible that,
because they are both zombies, they can somehow understand each other?
Speaking of which,
her personality hasn't changed much since she became a zombie.
What is it?
No, it's nothing.
Ah, were you thinking that I should act more like a zombie?
Like this... Just what Furuya-kun likes.
You're plenty cute as you are.
It really doesn't bother you that you've become a zombie?
Yes.
After all, you said you will take responsibility.
That is... How to say this...
How do you want me to take responsibility?
Eh?
Usually, if you say "take responsibility"...
Hm, let me think.
Go shopping with me, go to an art gallery...
Huh?
Also, let's go see a zombie movie.
Um, what else?
That's right, an amusement park!
What is she saying? It's as if we're just...
A normal festival would be nice too.
Basically, what I couldn't do up until now.
Please let me experience everything normal girls do.
Um...
Even though you're now a zombie,
you want to experience being a normal girl...
Huh, is something strange?
Am I not allowed to?
No, it's not like you can't, but...
Such ridiculous strength.
Furuya-kun...
I... some... how...
Hey, so sudden!
Sankarea
Hey!
Chihiro, get out here!
This is bad, it's Wanko.
He finally shows himself.
How dare you abandon me this morning!
Hey, is there someone in your room?
No one's here. It's just me.
I'm coming up, then.
Let's talk about this outside.
Why?
A guy has his reasons.
At this point, finding a porn magazine wouldn't surprise me.
Anyway, wait outside.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm heading out for a bit.
Don't leave this room.
Got it?
Hey, if we're going to talk, let's go to the riverbank!
Why the riverbank?
Just listen to me.
Let's go, let's go!
Just then I...
What was I going to do with Furuya-kun...
This feeling is...
Sorry, I completely forgot I left you back there.
You forgot?!
Is that the only excuse you've got?
You're pissing me off!
Ow, ow, sorry, I was wrong!
And how is Babu-chan?
He seems okay.
It's not like he's been attacking people or anything.
Seriously, you need to get a cell phone.
It's really troublesome at times like these.
I don't need a cell phone.
But what's going to happen to Babu-chan?
Is he going to remain immortal?
Something like that, I guess...
Hey, Furuya!
What is this, now it's Yasutaka.
Fu-ru-ya!
You!
Please introduce me to Rea-tan too!
Huh?
Furuya, you're a god!
If you already knew her, why didn't you tell me?!
Sick...
Yasutaka-kun is getting a little too reckless.
Hey, by Rea, do you mean Sanka Rea-san?
That's right, that Sanka Rea-tan.
What, so you already knew her?
You kept asking "Do you know Sanka Rea?"
It's not as if I know her, we just met by chance.
You bastard!
What do you mean by chance?
You just hit the jackpot, and got close to her.
Thank goodness he wasn't interested in just zombie women.
No, I seriously live for zombie women.
Daiichi, it's not like she's...
What's up?
Is it really not like that...?
Right now she's the zombie woman I have always wanted.
That zombie girl's in my room?
Hey, now that I think about it, this is my dream situation!
What are you grinning for?
I'm not.
Furuya-kun... sure is slow.
Who was that girl?
She was wearing the Sanka uniform,
and they seemed really close.
That's it, she must be Furuya-kun's...
At this point, finding a porn magazine wouldn't surprise me.
That's right.
Since it does not seem like there's anyone home...
Even though I'm a zombie, it should be okay to take a shower... I think.
What is this strange feeling?
Ah, that's it.
I can't tell if the water is hot or cold.
But it is refreshing.
This is the first time I've been in such a small bathroom.
Hm?
I wonder what this is.
What is it used for?
It's a bit hard and flexible...
Don't tell me, you use it like this to exercise...
Hm?
Caltrop
E-Erm...
Eh? Someone was home?!
Ah! Sada, is that you, Sada?!
Oh, Sada!
I see, you've been resurrected.
No, I am...
Sada, I'm so sorry...
Um, you have the wrong person.
I'm back.
Sada!
What's going on, Grandpa?
You've been resurrected.
Sada, you've come back for me!
I don't know anything about her being resurrected,
but wasn't grandma's name Kiyo, not Sada?
Eh, is that so?
Huh? What am I doing right now?
Good grief.
I wonder if I have been exposed.
Otou-sama must be having dinner about now.
And here I am in someone else's home.
A boy's room, no less.
It was really busy today.
Finally, I...
...have become free.
From now on,
forever...
...just like this...
Somehow I was able to talk my way out of it.
But that damn Yasutaka was quite persistent.
He has no other way to use his pent up energy.
Hey, Nii.
We're having boiled animal intestines for dinner.
Sorry, I'm not hungry.
It doesn't seem like Mero found out.
Sorry I'm late-
Ah, welcome back.
Hey, what's with that outfit?
Sorry, I was just borrowing your shower...
More importantly, you're still soaked.
You'll catch a cold.
Ah, I'm fine.
Since I'm a zombie, I can't catch a cold.
Ah, that's right.
Huh? Wait a moment, this conversation just now...
I'm having a conversation...
...with a moe zombie girl, just like I've always dreamt of!
Uh, well then.
Your stomach doesn't ever get upset either, does it?
Hm. Well, since I am a zombie, my stomach is broken.
Bear with it!
Furuya-kun?
Ah, sorry.
I was so absorbed in my dream coming true that I lost myself.
Anyway, hurry up and get dressed.
Um, well, you see...
Honestly... I've been able to move less and less.
It's as if my body's stiffening up.
Eh? Stiffening?
Is that why you are slurring your words?
Yeah, something like that.
What's going on?
It's as if the drug is wearing off.
I'm going to touch you for a moment.
Don't tell me it's...
...rigor mortis...
Rigor... mortis?
Yeah, that's probably what it is.
Don't worry, it's a natural phenomenon.
Hmm... As expected of... Furuya... kun...
You are well informed.
Yeah.
Rea is so cheerful she doesn't even feel a thing,
but even if she is conscious her body is still that of a dead person.
Then, if I just leave Rea alone,
her body will gradually start to rot away.
In less than a month, she'll be just bones...
I have to think of something.
Please let me experience everything normal girls do.
If I don't...
...protect Rea's body...

What? You'd like me to tone it down a bit?
I wonder what you mean by that.
Eh, I'm out of character?
What do you mean?
I really am the same person.
Next time: Sankarea.
Episode 5: "Zombies are about".
#5 「Zombies... are about...」
Next time
Watch it, everyone!
Also, I'm still not convinced.
Even if you tell me to put a damper on it, I'll still be troubled.
