I have to think of something.
Babu.
If I don't protect Rea's body...
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
住み着いた影から
and sought pleasure
nigeru tame datoshitara
逃げる為だとしたら
instead of knowing eternity.
soredemo atashi wa atashi wo aishiteirareru nara
それでもあたしはあたしを愛していられるなら
Even so, as long as I can love myself,
hanbun ni wareta taiyou ga asa wo tsuretekite
半分に割れた太陽が朝を連れてきて
the half-split Sun will bring the morning,
yami ni nareta shinkei wo jiwari shigekisuru
闇に慣れた神経をじわり刺激する
and will stimulate my nerves that've grown used to the darkness.
okiwasureta nounai wa aete sonomama de
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,
shinario no kieta monogatari da
シナリオの消えた物語だ
and I’ll just leave things that way.
jiyuu ni jiyuu ni kaji wo totte
自由に自由に舵を取って
More and more freely, I'll take the helm,
motto takakue maiagatte
もっと高くへ舞い上がって
and soar to greater heights.
#5 「Zombies... are about...」
Good night.
Rea's body is undergoing rigor mortis.
At this rate, her body is slowly going to rot away.
At any rate, before rigor mortis lets up,
I have to find a way to preserve her body.
Mindfulness of the Buddha
Class 4-2 Furuya Mero
A book on how to preserve a corpse?
Yes, if I'm not mistaken, you've read one before.
I would like to borrow it.
Ah.
That book about embalming?
Class 4-2 Furuya Mero
Mindfulness of the Buddha
I lent that to a classmate.
What kind of middle schooler is that classmate?
Older than an elementary schooler, younger than a high schooler.
No, I already know that...
You too, Nii. Why do you want that book?
Huh?
Uh... well.
If you don't have it, that's fine.
Class 4-2 Furuya Mero
Mindfulness of the Buddha
See ya.
He's been acting strange lately...
Still, the most common one is formaldehyde,
but the smell is really strong.
Don't Enter!!!
I must be careful not to let my family or neighbours find out.
Don't Enter!!!
Looking at her now, she looks like a normal person sleeping.
Hey, Chihiro, Mero, wake up and come down.
All right already!
As I thought, the bed isn't a good place.
Maybe I should move her into the closet.
All right.
Although I say so, I don't know where to look.
Chihiro, what's going on?
Ah, geez...
I said I'm coming!
Rigor mortis will probably wear off by tonight.
I'm sorry it's small, but wait here until then.
Okay?
W-What was that sound?
Her stomach?
Could it possibly be...
She's hungry?
Well, once you're able to move again...
...I'll get you something to eat.
Otou-chan, I'm coming down.
Itadakimasu.
The usual breakfast.
Hey, did you stop adding fish paste to the miso soup?
Father, that's tofu.
Eh?!
Our usual morning scenery.
Please let me experience everything normal girls do.
Hey, what do you think is normal?
What are you saying all of a sudden?
No, never mind.
Hey, did you stop adding fish paste to the miso soup?
Father, that's tofu.
Eh?!
Thank you.
Hm, Rea-san is...
Ah, if it isn't Ranko-senpai!
Eh, it's you again.
What are you doing way out here?
Just running the family business.
Speaking of which, what are you doing here?
Um, well, as you know.
Our classmate Rea-sama has been absent from school.
I got worried, so I came to see how things were going.
Is that so?
You know, you could have just used the door.
Eh?
Even so, you sure have free time on your hands.
But... Rea-sama is our idol.
Of course Ranko-senpai's just as much of an idol.
I told you to stop calling me that.
Somehow,
it seems like Rea-sama's appearance has changed a bit.
Well, her beauty hasn't changed, but it seems like she's sad...
Is that so?
On top of that, she has also been truant lately.
I'm starting to get really worried.
Is that so?
Well, from your perspective, she's just an underclassman,
so you probably aren't interested.
But to us first years,
there isn't a single person who isn't interested in her.
Because she really is beautiful.
Ah, look at these pictures.
Uh, let me see.
I have a lot of different versions.
So, why don't we start from the photo I think is most beautiful.
What do you think?
Aren't you spellbound by her gentle, noble figure?
And this is a shot of three of us together.
This next one is my precious shot of both of us.
Hm...
But it seems like the maids at Rea-sama's house are busy.
I wonder what exactly is going on, you know?
Ah, they are making quite a racket there.
I wonder what happened.
Maybe something happened to Rea-sama?
Ah, Ranko-senpai!
Sankarea
Today's a school holiday, so we have the day off.
We are going to clean the temple together as a family...
Damn it, I don't have time for this.
Chihiro.
I heard you're going to take care of another cat.
Babu just died the other day.
What's the meaning of this?
Dad, you're wrong.
I brought Babu back to life.
I don't get what you're saying.
Hey, Grandpa, you saw Babu, didn't you?
That's right. That was Babu.
See! Grandpa says so, too.
That's right, that's right.
Sada and Babu have both been brought back to life.
That's right, both Sada and Babu...
Who is Sada?
I was talking about Babu!
Seriously, you two are idiots...
Yeah.
The world should appreciate my resurrection pill more.
Yes, your resurrection pill-
Eh?
G-Grandpa!
What did you just say?
Eh? Sada?
Not that!
After that, after that.
Eh?
By resurrection pill, do you mean that drug?
On top of that you said "you made it"...
Huh, did I say that?
You said it.
I don't know anything about that.
I'm taking a bath.
Wait, hold on...
Hey! We haven't finished cleaning yet.
You're always quick to run off.
Nii, how disgraceful.
Hey, what if Grandpa actually did make that drug?
Grandpa is definitely capable of it.
If that's the case, then he may also know something...
...about preserving a resurrected body.
Nii.
Oh!
What do you need all of a sudden?
As usual, Nii hasn't been keeping his room clean.
Afterwards, I am going to clean Nii's room, too.
Yeah, thanks.
Ah, Mero, wai-
About my room... I already cleaned it today.
What do you mean?
Uh, well...
I just realised I should clean up after myself more often.
No, really, you don't need to clean my room.
Really, it's clean.
Yeah, understood.
I don't understand him.
Thanks as always.
Hm? Wanko?
Ah, if it isn't Ranko-chan.
What's going on, Wanko?
You come here every day...
I just finished deliveries and thought I would drop by.
Mero-chan, here's lunch.
Thank you, Wanko-dono.
You're always helping us out.
As I thought, that's it.
Really, this guy only thinks about himself.
Wouldn't it be great if he could find a wife like Ranko-chan?
A wife! Really, Oji-sama, you...
Ah, that's right.
Chihiro, did you hear?
Hm? What is it?
It seems the Sanka family's daughter ran away last night.
Hm?
Ah, nothing.
And you know, the Sanka family is one of our frequent customers,
but when I made my delivery, their house was in an uproar.
I guess even a girl like her has her own problems...
Maybe she was reunited with a lover separated by death.
Perhaps she is going to elope with her forbidden love!
Separated by death...
She is dead...
Then the two of them will spend a night together in a private room overlooking the ocean.
The couple who should have never met.
Yet, not knowing this, their bodies and souls grew closer together.
Then again, this kind of a girl isn't Chihiro's type either, is she?
Eh?
Huh? But didn't your strange friend say that, too?
That you and that Rea girl are close.
No. How it happened...
We happened to meet while I was out one night,
and just ended up talking and stuff.
Hm?
Anyway, why do I have to tell you this?
Hm, that's because, as your sister,
I have to know about my younger brother's relationships.
That's why I'm telling you it's not like that.
Okay, I understand.
Well, I have to help with stuff at home, so I'm heading back.
See you later.
What's with that.
What was she trying to say?
Hey, Chihiro!
Hurry up and clean the back of the house, too.
I know!
That's right, since I'm already over, I'll borrow another zombie DVD.
So Rea's house is in an uproar, huh...
That's right, her father seemed quite sad.
But it's not like she can return like she is now.
Pardon the intrusion.
Hm?
Eh, it's freezing!
What is this?
Is he really using the AC in this weather?
Hmm, let's see. What haven't I borrowed yet?
Zombie movies really have similar names.
Huh, this isn't what was on the cover!
Babu.
Which one should I choose?
TL Note: This is a Japanese counting rhyme similar to the English counting rhyme "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe".
As god says...
This is the one I watched last time.
Hm?
Long black hair.
No matter how you think about it, this isn't Chihiro's.
Ah, it must just be my imagination.
Now that I think about it,
Rea's stomach seemed to be growling earlier.
If her stomach doesn't work, what would she want to eat?
Being a zombie...
No way.
Wait, w-who is it?
Ow!
What's with this strength?
Wait...
You're...
...the Sanka family's...
Wait!
No...
Wa- Wait...
Sto-
Wait!
Geez...
You're... wounded.
W-What are you laughing at?
Hurry... an ambulance...
Something's... strange.
Don't tell me... this girl also...
Wanko.
Don't tell me...
What I just heard in the house...
Don't tell me...
Wanko!
Are you okay...?
Rea...
The rigor mortis already wore off?
C-Chihiro.
Wanko... you...
Furuya-kun.
What is it?
Eh?
Eh?!
Babu.

Supporting?
What is she referring to, I wonder?
If its not in good taste to say,
then maybe there's another way to say it?
Hm, well, I have no choice.
I wonder if this is okay?
