Morning!
Good morning.
It's definitely not unenjoyable.
However, I thought that each of them were hiding...
...their unspeakable bitterness behind their smiles.
Don't you find it surprising?
It surprised me.
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,

もっと高くへ舞い上がって
and soar to greater heights.
#2 「It's... successful」
Why don't you put down your legs?
Yeah, thank you very much.
Um, they are tearing and eating their colleague's internal organs.
Well, that's because...
...they're zombies, and it's in their nature to attack and eat humans.
Eat?
This is unexpected.
She said she'd never watched any zombie movies before,
so I brought some hardcore movies.
She's watching them so intently.
Amazing!
So much is coming out!
Since she's a lady, she's quite stubborn!
Well, I'd like your help soon.
Ah, I am so sorry.
I got too absorbed in the movie...
Can you rip these off as well?
Sure.
So what kind of poisonous herbs are you going to try today?
Well, I'm running out of ideas.
Eh?
Even if I follow the manuscript,
whether it can bring the dead back to life is still uncertain.
What's more, there's a part that's unreadable.
So, what will happen to Babu-chan?
Well, I guess I should bury him.
Eh?
Five days have already passed.
Or how about... you eat him?
No!
How can you think of something like that?!
To eat Babu-chan... No way!
She really can't take any jokes.
But having said that,
I've tried most of the poisonous herbs that I can get.
Morning glory, lily of the valley, hemlock, plum...
...and what else?
Please wait for a moment.
I will go get it right now.
Hey, what are you going to get?
She is unexpectedly aggressive.
My father's love for me is beyond normally accepted levels.
Rea-ojousama, Rabbit-san wants to play with you this time.
Ojou-sama, this way. Come...
Ojou-sama.
It's fine. Don't cry.
Ojou-sama, you're strong.
Before anyone knew it, that maid was fired.
The cat never showed up again, and the maids also disappeared.
And in the end, only my cold mother, Aria, was left for me.
Rea, let's take pictures of you this year as well.
Now open your eyes and smile.
Now that I am growing up,
I have come to understand that this is not normal.
It seems that my mother knew about my father's abnormal feelings towards me.
I feel like running away.
I constantly feel the presence of my father and his subordinates.
They monitor me all the time, no matter where I go.
Rea, good morning!
What happened?
You look down.
Nothing is wrong.
Good morning.
She is the first person whom I could call a friend.
Nakadai
Since her family is also of high social class,
my father has approved of our friendship.
I thought that behind their smiles,
each of them was hiding their unspeakable bitterness.
However, from associating with her...
...I realised that wasn't the case at all.
I am the only unfortunate one.
Is that really true?
Yeah.
It's the first time I've told anyone about this.
That's strange...
Taking pictures of your daughter in the nude...
I guess.
You should ask your father to stop.
Yes...
But...
I too fight with my dad all the time.
Even if it'll be a huge argument,
you should make him stop, no matter what!
Is it really okay to argue with him?
It'll be fine since you are father and daughter.
Nakadai
I have deeply regretted confessing to her on that day.
She's slow.
Did she get lost in the mountains?
Or maybe she slipped, and fell into the river.
I guess there's no way she would do something so dangerous.
What is she thinking, climbing up a place like that?
Furuya-kun!
Gosh!
I guess a lady needs a bodyguard all the time.
H-How rude!
I can climb this slope by myself.
In that case, should I let go?
Wait a minute!
So... what made you do something like that?
I-It was...
As I was searching for it, I saw one blooming right below the grave.
I thought it'd be much faster and closer to climb up and pick that one.
Even though you're a lady, you sure are reckless.
It is fine.
Even if I die, Furuya-kun will bring me back to life as a zombie.
Hey, hey...
I haven't been successful in reviving Babu.
Even if it works, have I ever said I would bring you back to life?
If so, I will say it now...
Huh?
Please... bring me back to life.
Sankarea
What is it?
I do not want this anymore.
Could you please stop doing that?
Why should I?
As a father, recording my daughter's growth is the proper thing to do.
That is definitely not "proper"!
Can't we have a normal father-and-daughter relationship?
I want to be a normal girl, Otou-sama.
Did someone tell you something?
No.
Someone did tell you something...
If anyone heard about this, they would find it weird.
Rea, you don't understand.
You do not understand the situation.
There is only one thing that is right in this world: my love for you.
I had a feeling something bad would happen.
Transferred?!
She transferred suddenly due to some circumstances with her father.
It seems he was forced to quit his job.
Once again...
Once again, he has forced people away from me...
Nakadai
Thank God!
I thought I would not see you again.
It seems the place that my family is moving to does not allow pets.
Therefore, I am going to the veterinary centre.
I have say good bye to him.
Both my father and mother have become strange.
Being accused of things we have no memory of doing...
This...
My relatives told me.
What did you tell your father?!
Have I ever done anything bad to you?!
No way, I...
I shouldn't have been friendly with you in the first place.
He will snatch everything away from me.
You still don't understand anything.
The idea of happiness varies from person to person.
The pureness of my love for you...
...is not something normal people would understand.
I do not want to understand something like that.
One day you will understand... the depth of my love.
My love is a unique form in this world.
Rea, if you don't comprehend this,
it will only cause misfortune to others.
What an extravagant daughter...
Your life is far more luxurious than anyone else's.
How can you not realize that?
Rea, take off your clothes.
If my happiness leads to the misfortune of others,
Happy birthday, Rea.
it would be much better for me to stay miserable.
Well then, let's use what I just picked and make the potion.
But this is...
Yes, it is a hortensia.
Hey, hey, are you saying that the normal hortensia,
which can be found all over the street, is poisonous?!
Yes.
Although I do not know much about it,
my family crest is actually a hortensia,
and lot of them are planted in my garden.
Therefore, when I was small,
Father warned me not to put any of them into my mouth.
But...
...at home, when he is in a daze,
my grandpa sometimes bites the hortensia leaves.
Eh?!
Does the effect vary depending on the person?
There really is poison in hortensia leaves!
Please do not copy what they do!!
There really is poison in hortensia leaves!
Please do not copy what they do!!
There really is poison in hortensia leaves!
Please do not copy what they do!!
A-Anyway, let us try using this today.
So let's do it!
Finished.
Hold this for a minute.
I'll take Babu out.
Babu... Come back to life.
Pass me the medicine.
Here.
Babu-chan, today, you'll definitely...
What a shame.
But surely it'll be fine.
We can try another kind of poisonous herb tomorrow.
No. Let's stop already.
If this goes on, I'm going to feel really sorry for Babu.
I'm only being selfish.
I'm sorry, Babu.
I'm going to bury you.
I see...
It's already late.
Let's bury him together tomorrow.
Thanks for helping me up until now.
You've been really helpful.
I see.
Then, from now on, I will not be able to meet you here again.
Huh?
Nothing!
Let's go home!
Well then, see you tomorrow.
Hey, you...
Aren't you dragging your foot a bit?
I twisted it earlier when my foot slipped.
But it will be fine,
going back to my house...
Honestly...
Hey!
What are you doing?
No~!
Where are you touching?!
Why did I have to be born into this family?
Why was I not born into a normal family like everyone else?
Obviously, I want to live on.
I want to smile from the bottom of my heart, like everyone else.
Welcome home, Ojou-sama.
I'm home.
That's why I want to be reborn.
After I am reborn, I will be free.
If I cannot do that, I would rather...
Can I leave you here?
Yes.
Your house is the mansion on top of the hill, right?
I can take you further up...
No, it's fine.
I am not going to use the main entrance since I sneaked out.
I always use the hidden path at those bushes to come and go.
Ah, I see.
It's good that my father does not know about this yet.
I really am reckless.
Hey, you really are afraid of your father.
I'll give Babu-chan back to you.
See you.
Yeah.
Don't be late for Babu's funeral tomorrow!
Of course I won't!
See you.
How can this be...
Rea!
Babu
Welcome home...
Eh? Ranko!
Why are you in my house?
I came to return some DVDs.
Don't randomly use other people's bathroom.
It's fine! We're cousins after all.
So, you'd better spit out where you've been this late at night.
Oh crap! Surprise attack!
Today I randomly went to the convenience store and bought some ice cream.
Then I laid down next to the river...
Eh? How suspicious.
Your sister said that you've been going out every night,
ever since the day that Babu-chan died.
And what's more, you're carrying a box like that...
That... I want to use that to have some adventure on the river...
Hey, what do you have inside it?
Hey! Don't open-
Perhaps your zombie hobby has got worse,
and you've been doing terrible things to Babu-chan's body?
Wait!
Hey! Just now, wasn't that...
I-It worked!
I'm sorry, Furuya-kun, Babu-chan.
I cannot come tomorrow.
I will never be allowed to leave this house again,
not even to go to school.
My father is definitely serious about that.
I am sorry.
I took a little bit of that medicine.
Even if it does not have the power of resurrection,
it does contain the extract of a poisonous herb.
The opposite effect will be...
I decided I would rather die.

I would like to be

a little flower flowering in your hand.

I would surely find you.

Hey, stop this already!
I thought it wouldn't have any effect.
Eh? Favourable reputation?
How can that be?
Next time: Sankarea.
Episode 3: "Sanka... Rea."
#3 「Sanka...rea」
Next time
You better watch it, Mer!
For now, can I meet the person who wrote the script?
I have quite a few things to say to him.
