Honestly, that Chihiro...
Why did I have to get them...
Hurry up.
Wait for me.
I'm going to leave you behind.
Don't!

is just a fantasy?

I regretted the present

Honestly, it smells great.
#7 「Childhood... Friend...」
I'm Saoji Ranko,
a second year student at Sanka Girls' Academy.
My mother is the Saouji landlady of Kyoukaiseki.
My father is the head chef.
In other words, I am the daughter of this establishment.
Ever since I was young, I would help out from time to time,
so at times when they are short-handed,
I'd conveniently be recruited.
Thank you for your business.
Eggplant..
Come on, use your hands more efficiently.
Who cares?
Don't suddenly interrupt me.
l might cut my finger.
Besides, why do I have to help out at your family's store?
And it's finally Sunday as well...
Don't say things like that.
We've known each other for a long time, haven't we?
Hey, you stopped working.
You stopped me!
Aren't you the one doing what you want?
From what I can see, you two look like a well-matched couple.
Mother!
It's okay, Chihiro-kun.
Even if you marry her, I won't tell you to take over the family business.
Don't worry.
If you get a chance, it's all right to push her down.
Isn't that right, darling?
What are you saying, geez...
Hey!
Be more careful.
Sorry, sorry.
Oh, aren't you two hot?!
You didn't have to let go of me so fast...
What?
Nothing!
I met Chihiro for the first time when we were in kindergarten.
Unlike emotional dramas where they initially hate each other...
...but gradually fall in love as they get to know each other,
the first time we met was the best.
Aren't you scared?
I'm not scared at all.
I thought a prince had appeared.
The next day, Uncle Don introduced me to that prince.
Ranko-chan, this is my son Chihiro.
He's a year younger than you, but please get along with each other.
Yeah.
Chihiro-kun.
Huh?
Let's play.
Sure...
I thought I would definitely get along with him.
Are we watching a movie?
Yeah, it's interesting.
What's wrong, Adriana?
Did you have a nightmare?
Adriana?
Chihiro-kun...
Chihiro-kun!
What?
Let's go outside.
Why?
Let's play outside.
Sounds boring.
Let's go outside.
Chihiro-kun, what do you normally do for fun?
Watch zombie movies.
Other than zombie movies?
Read zombie books.
Other than zombies?
Eat food.
That's not playing.
How pretty!
Chihiro-kun, let's use this and play house...
What are you doing?
It's said that a dead body is buried underneath a sakura tree.
Eh?
A zombie may be buried here.
Eh, let's stop.
That stuff is scary.
Hey, it's the priest's son, Chihiro.
You're right.
Wow, he's playing with a girl.
That's so lame!
Since we wouldn't let him play with us,
he's playing with a girl.
How disgusting!
What's with you guys?
What's wrong with playing with a girl?
Chihiro-kun?
Chihiro-kun!
He's crying again.
He cries really easily, doesn't he?
Don't you think it's all right to let him cry all he wants?
My prospective prince was actually just a zombie loving weirdo...
...who gets tired of things easily and can't get along with other people.
Nothing but a lame crybaby.
He can stay calm in the graveyard only because...
...he's used to watching zombie movies,
and he's from a priest's family.
So when it was time to go back,
my romantic feelings had completely cooled down.
...can't do.
No, you help us a lot every time we come here.
Thank you so much.
If it's okay with you, come here from time to time, and not just during the festival.
Thank you very much.
Oh, where is Yuzuna-san?
Mero has a fever, so Yuzuna took her to hospital.
R-Really?!
If so, it wasn't necessary to see us off.
No, no.
It's not that important.
Well Nii-san, see you.
Ranko, are you okay with not saying goodbye to Chihiro-kun?
It's fine.
Geez... I was supposed to be helping in the kitchen,
so why do I have to deliver food as well?
It's because you didn't help much in the kitchen.
That can't be helped.
I don't usually cook.
Yeah, that's true.
Then why did you come along?
If you went alone, you wouldn't greet the customers properly.
That'll affect my shop's reputation.
It's not like I have no common sense.
I can greet properly as well.
Hey, Chihiro.
Stop moaning and work properly.
Ranko-chan, thank you for today's work as well.
Not at all, it was nothing.
You can use Chihiro as much as you want,
since you always take care of him.
Thank you very much.
Eh, don't I have the right to decline?
No.
Hey, hey.
How many more deliveries are there?
Two more.
What?
Are you that against helping out?
Not really the case, but...
I am worried about Rea.
Oh, about Rea-san...
Hey, I've told you that it's not what you think.
There are still a lot of things that we don't really know about,
like the stability of her condition.
It's fine. I got it.
I see.
Can't take your mind off her, eh?
Rea-san is that cute, eh?
Th-
You totally don't understand.
Maybe those two are dating?
Is it really a date?
I-Is it a date?
Are you stupid?
There's no way it is.
Wait a minute.
You don't have to decline so bluntly.
But this really isn't a date.
What?!
Do you dislike the idea of dating me so much?
It's not like I dislike it.
Wait, wait!
Could this possibly be...
...what they call a lover's quarrel?
No, it's not.
Damn you!
You get along with Rea-san... You get along with Ranko-san...
Why are you the only one who's popular?
What's more, you're only interested in crap like zombies.
Surplus?
Is it a surplus?
Are you making a fool of me?
You are, aren't you?
Yasutaka-kun, calm down.
As if I could calm down!
I can't keep up with you...
Ranko-san, why do you like this guy?
He's not a sexy guy.
He's a rebellious, stubborn and good-for-nothing zombie otaku.
That's true, I suppose...
You aren't going to deny it?
Besides, aren't you a perverted otaku who only goes after beautiful girls?
That's right.
I take pride in that.
That's why if you weren't so popular, I wouldn't be complaining.
Like I said, I'm not popular.
You're still saying that, you playboy.
Calm down, you two.
I am calm.
I would meet Chihiro again...
...two years after our initial meeting.
Sankarea
When I was around six,
Dad decided we would move from Chiba to here, Shiyou City.
Our house was in the same neighbourhood as Chihiro's temple.
And then, for a while my mother invited Chihiro over to play.
Even though my love went cold two years ago,
he was my cousin, so I thought we could play together properly.
Chihiro-kun.
Hm?
Let's play.
How about a game or something?
I won't play.
Well, how about we go outside?
I won't go.
He hasn't changed at all.
Here, I brought some snacks.
Chihiro-kun, since we finally moved into the neighbourhood,
please get along with Ranko.
Ah, you're such a shy person.
It's so cute.
For some reason,
my mother took an interest in Chihiro a long time ago.
Stop it.
She told me to get along with Chihiro, which only made me feel worse.
He really is cute, isn't he, Ranko?
Ah, Ranko.
Where's Chihiro-kun?
Upstairs reading a book.
Why don't you play with him?
Because Chihiro-kun said he wouldn't play.
He didn't want to play a game or go outside.
Then go to the video rental store nearby.
Huh?
You know, they have that anime you wanted to watch recently.
Why don't you go rent that, and watch it together?
Eh?
Huh?
Is Ranko the type of kid who neglects her cousin?
I get it.
It's over here.
I know.
Chihiro-kun.
Hey, hey, Chihiro-kun.
What?
Why don't we get an anime?
They have some interesting shows.
These ones are interesting.
Zombie Academy: The Tragedy at the Cultural Festival.
Ah, as expected of Chihiro-kun.
If that's the case,
in the back I have a brand new film that I got from America.
Do you want to see it?
I do!
Really, that Chihiro is amazing.
He's only five years old,
and yet he watches horror films without subtitles.
Here.
It's a little extreme, so keep it a secret from your parents, okay?
Yeah.
Hey, what did he mean by "extreme"?
He meant that the zombies are really "dero dero".
TL Note: "dero dero" is something equivalent to the feeling of decaying.
What's "dero dero"?
How would you express it?
Dero dero...
Why did you decide what we are watching on your own?
Don't worry, this is definitely interesting.
This series is brilliant after all.
I don't really like things like horror.
But, if you watch it, you'll definitely come to like it.
But, isn't it in English?
Even if you don't understand what they are saying, it's still interesting.
I don't think it's interesting!
I wanted to watch an anime!
Yeah, it's definitely better than an anime.
I like anime more than horror.
I'm exchanging this!
Eh, Ranko-chan!
Ranko-chan...
Go away.
Chihiro-kun.
Chihiro-kun, thank you for saving me.
Thinking back,
I may have fallen in love at first sight when we first met in the graveyard.
Would you stay with me?
Absolutely.
When this all ends, let's move in together.
And, since I was ten,
Yes, please.
there's no doubt that I'd already fallen in love with Chihiro.
Actually, Chihiro...
What?!
Chihiro, how would you want your first kiss to feel?
Okay then, how about up north?
But, it's so cold.
Ah? How it feels...
There are lots of different kinds, aren't there?
With a sunset beach as a background...
...or like a couple who are about to go their separate ways...
Um...
As I thought, I would love to kiss a zombie girl.
Zombie girls again?!
Do you think something like that really exists?
There might be a chance that they do...
Think about it more seriously.
Kissing is very important.
Okay, okay.
Geez...
Furuya, you will be punished one day!
Unless you introduce me to some cute girls...
Honestly, what an obstinate guy.
So, let's go to the remaining two houses.
Chihiro.
Huh?
Let's hold hands.
Why?
Don't ask.
Just hold my hand.
It hurts... It hurts...
Okay, I got it.
I got it.
Then let's go.
What is this?
Chihiro.
What is it?
Do you remember the time we first held hands?
Wasn't it the first time we met?
You were crying in the graveyard,
so I had no other choice but to hold your hand.
Or was it not like that?
What's the correct answer?
I don't really remember a past event like that.
Ah, what's up with you?
I don't understand your behaviour.
Deliveries complete.
You even deliver to a house like this?
Yeah.
Ever since she had our lunch box at the funeral two years ago,
the old lady here has become a fan of our shop.
She orders take-out from time to time.
Your work is done.
You can go home now.
Deliveries are complete anyway,
so there's no need to come back and help in our shop for now.
There's enough manpower in our shop.
Really?!
Lucky!
See you.
What's up?
What...
...are you doing?
Don't just go along with the mood and let someone kiss you.
Hah?
Think about it more seriously!
Kissing is very important!
As I thought,
I don't want to lose.
I will definitely, definitely not lose...

Preview
Is it really all right to let me do the preview?
You have told Mero-chan about it, right?
In that case, it is fine.

Next time: Sankarea...
Episode 8: Fake... Freedom...
Eh... Mero-chan!
Producer... Where is the producer?
Mero-chan, about that...
Producer, can you explain what's going on here?
