Furuya-kun!
So it has come to this...
Shouldn't we make it clear?
Don't you agree, Furuya?!

What if the story I've heard

in sleepless nights

is just a fantasy?

Perhaps to escape

I regretted the present

instead of knowing eternity.

The forgotten thoughts are a story whose scenario has disappeared,

#10 「Strong... Affections...」
Green is a healing colour.
Furuya-sama, we sincerely welcome you here.
Here is your welcome drink.
I am really thirsty right now!
Now's not the time to talk like that!
Please take your time.
Untie me!
Hey!
Hey, wai-
Is this for real?!
Hey, stop messing around.
This could be considered an abduction.
This is kidnapping and confinement!
Are you listening?
I told you to untie me!
What are you going to do if my back starts to itch?
My back is starting to itch.
Really, really itchy!
Okay. So now you've come back.
Shut up.
I can hear you all the way from the corridor.
Who are you?
People keep coming to my house, and they're all so rude.
It's not like I wanted to come here.
I guess so.
I am Sanka Danichirou's wife, Sanka Aria.
So, you are Rea's...
You are Furuya Chihiro-kun?
You take care of Rea, right?
No, "take care of" is a bit...
So?
How far have you two gone?
Eh?
Still at the kissing stage?
Since that girl has suppressed her feelings until now,
she must have become wild and sexual.
W-What are you talking about?
There's no way Rea would...
Oh.
So you still haven't...
I see.
Well, she is a monster.
Zombies will rot and start smelling, right?
Her skin will also become more and more dirty...
How can you say something like this about the daughter whom you've given birth to?
Given birth to?
Me?
No.
I have never given birth before.
What does that mean?
If so, you are...
I am Danichirou-san's second wife.
Yes.
That girl is the child of his former wife.
She's not related to me by blood in any way.
Rea hasn't told me anything about this.
Of course.
This is the biggest taboo of the Sanka Family.
Only very few people know about this.
Since I have the opportunity, I will tell you this.
I was originally a maid in the Sanka Family.
Even so, don't get the wrong idea, and think that I was low class.
Before Rea was born, all the maids working in this house were prospective wives of the Sanka Family's successor.
Family class, education levels, even their personalities...
Only people who qualified in all these areas could work inside the house.
I guess there's no chance of putting a picture of her up here.
Therefore, from now on, let's put up a picture of me.
Since Danichirou-san was little, many maids had tried to please him...
...so they could become a member of the Sanka Family.
However, Danichirou-san never showed interest in any of them.
By the time I came here as a maid,
Danichirou-san was studying in college.
Even though you have worked hard to become a maid of the Sanka Family, it is a pity.
The current successor has no interest in women.
You will also be kept like a useless pet until you die.
It's not like he has no interest in women,
but rather, he isn't interested in any of you.
I was confident, since there hasn't been a man who didn't fall for me.
Come in.
How did you know that I wanted coffee?
I thought it was about time that you would finish your drink.
I have also brought the lap blanket.
What's your name?
I am Aria.
I got called to Danichirou-san's side regularly.
However, in the end, Danichirou-san didn't fall for me.
Good morning, Danichirou-sama.
I slowly started to think that Danichirou-san was not interested in women.
However, the situation changed drastically.
On that day, treating it as a social welfare event,
the Sanka Family invited people with disabilities and people from the neighbourhood to the fencing tournament.
Of course, Danichirou-san was one of the participants.
Danichirou-sama has won.
Danichirou-sama is fantastic!
That was a good fight.
Why didn't you fight me seriously?
Did you think I would lose?
The Sanka Family has given a lot of money to the International Fencing Federation.
In other words, they are the biggest sponsor.
It was decided beforehand that Danichirou-san would win this annually held tournament.
Since Danichirou-san was not someone who could read the atmosphere,
he didn't seem to like the fact that the game was set up.
When the tournament was over, and the visitors were leaving,
that girl called out to Danichirou-san.
Excuse me.
Here...
You must be dissatisfied with today's match.
However, if you don't treat it with respect, God will be angry with you.
Even though the outcome of today's tournament was fixed,
please don't behave this way,
especially since your practice and hard work were real.
A few days later,
Danichirou-san proposed to that 15-year-old girl.
Sankarea
Since the start of the Sanka Family, that event was the most shocking.
He ignored us and chose a frail little girl,
whose lineage was unknown...
That's Rea's real mother...
Of course, such a marriage was disputed by all the members of the Sanka family.
But Danichirou-san did not listen to his family's wishes.
You said her lineage is the problem?
Of course!
A girl of unknown origin...
If so, I'll give up the headship of the family.
Then there won't be anything preventing me from marrying her.
What are you saying, Danichirou?
Don't be stupid!
How can you abandon the Sanka Family for a girl like that?!
A girl like that?
Watch your words, please.
This woman is going to be my wife.
After I have thrown away the name of Sanka,
you will be nothing but strangers.
Let me make it clear: I can't stand people bad-mouthing my wife.
Danichirou-san shut his relatives up, and married that woman.
But, right after she gave birth to Rea, that woman died.
Danichirou-san was heartbroken,
to the point where we thought he would die as well.
But I supported him to the best of my ability,
and he gradually recovered.
And then Danichirou-san finally became mine.
But, after our wedding, one year passed, then two,
and even now, he still hasn't taken me.
What do you mean...?
You are very thick.
I mean he has never made love to me.
Danichirou-san just thought that the girl needed a mother.
However, in reality, not even a mother was needed.
There was nothing for me to do.
I just looked at them from a distance.
They never let me feel as if I'm part of the family.
What's the problem?
How about we travel sometime?
Thinking back, we never went on a honeymoon.
Right.
It might be good for Rea to experience the outside world.
Are we bringing Rea?
What are you saying?
Even so, I still believe there was love since he chose me as his second wife.
Mother, let's take a photo with Father.
Okay.
I believed that his love for the girl was the same as that of a father and daughter.
But...
I've come as you told me, but what're you up to?
What are you doing?
I think you should give up, Aria-sama.
Huh?
I would like you to stop asking Danichirou-sama for his love.
What are you talking-
Please do not speak loudly.
Now, the pose is like this.
Raise your leg this way...
Yes.
Would you give up?
After all, since Danichirou-san is still chasing remnants of that woman, he continues to dote on that girl.
"That girl" is my daughter?
Don't say something so disgusting.
It seems it wasn't just her father's fault that Rea was cornered.
Hey, Furuya-kun.
Don't you think that I'm a pitiful woman?
Won't you comfort me with your body?
Hey, it's the warmth that a zombie can't give you, isn't it?
Sorry, I'm only interested in zombie girls.
Everybody looks at the girl...
Why does nobody look at me?!
Ah, kitty, are you going to comfort me?
A woman like myself...
Dear, gentle kitty.
It's also a zombie.
Someone get these two insolent things out of the mansion!
I would also prefer to leave this place if I could.
I can't let that happen.
Danichirou-sama is calling you.
Hey, like I said before, this is an actual kidnapping.
I don't care if Danichirou-sama is the head of the Sanka family.
You don't have the right to treat me like this.
So, won't you untie me at least?
I can't.
As I thought...
Isn't it good?
I envy you.
You can be his companion.
On the other hand, I...
...have never been taken seriously as his companion, not even once.
What has happened?
C-Could you turn the air conditioning up?
Okay.
Is it that hot today?
I'm sure of it.
The people I just saw are henchmen that my father sent.
Furuya-kun must be in danger.
Excuse me.
Could you hurry up?
Sure.
I wonder if this girl has money...
Please wait here.
Hey, isn't Danichirou-sama calling?
So, please wait.
Hey!
All of them were taken by me.
Here he comes.
No matter what moment, Rea is beautiful.
Because she is woven with delicacy and beauty,
she is nothing but purity itself.
I have continued protecting Rea's purity.
I am grateful to you.
Losing Rea once has intensified my love for her,
and has made me want to protect her even more.
Thank you.
But I won't forgive you, Furuya Chihiro.

Hey, you. Because work is work, it's bad to sulk or brood.
Since you have accepted this, you should do your best.
Got it?
Here we go.
Next time, Sankarea.
