Ch. 19 Ep. 3: A Brief Reprieve
Everyone is totally exhausted from the tense night. They manage to make it to the next morning safe and sound and take a bit of a breather.
Ayumu
Nnn… Nhhh…
Honoka
Good morning, Ayumu.
Ayumu
Oh… I passed out at some point…
Umi
I completely understand why. After our long trip, exhausting shenanigans, and dealing with zombies as well, it's no wonder we are well past our limits of fatigue and anxiety.
Ayumu
Right…
Kotori
We just woke up not long ago too.
Kanata
*Yawn* I slept so well.
Kasumi
I just woke up and I'm still the cutest.
Shioriko
Hmm… Phew, getting some sleep has also helped to clear my mind as well.
Hanayo
I wonder how everything went?
Umi
Setsuna and the others went to take a look around outside. They should be back soon as long as nothing has happened to them.
[Fade in/out.]
Setsuna
We did a thorough search around the building perimeter but didn't find any trace of the zombies.
Eli
Really?
Ai
Really, really.
Eli
Th-Thank goodness.
Umi
What does it all mean? Perhaps they are not active during the day?
Rin
I'm not sure, but I'm just glad they're gone.
Nico
True. Whatever they were, I'm just glad we're not in danger. Of course, we have to keep watch until we leave the island.
Hanayo
*Sigh* Now that the pressure is off, I'm starving.
Honoka
How about we get some food going? We won't be able to muster up the energy when the time comes if we're hungry.
Emma
Agreed! And we might come up with some great ideas once there's food in our bellies.
Kanata
I'll have everyone's order up in short order, so take a seat. That's an order!
Ai
Oh! Kana just made a pun! You've got the gift!
[Fade in/out.]
Kanata
Here you are. Enjoy!
Hanayo
Wow!
Rin
The rolled eggs look amazing!
Kanata
Oh, Ayumu actually made those. She said that she's a little picky when it comes to rolled eggs.
Honoka
She's picky?
Ayumu
I-It's not that big of a deal. But since the Prez really loves rolled eggs…
Kasumi
Hmph! I can make perfectly delicious rolled eggs too, you know!
Kasumi
And I bet she loves my bread rolls just as much. She always says they're really tasty!
Shizuku
Now, now, it's okay, Kasumi.
Kasumi
Hmph! I'll show you rolled eggs! *Chomp*
Kasumi
They're…good.
Ayumu
I'm glad you like them! I can give you all the tips and tricks for them later. And I'd really love for you to teach me about baking bread.
Karin
Kanata, did you use the fish we caught yesterday in this miso soup?
Kanata
Oh, you can tell? I used the perch that I had saved for later.
Hanayo
It's so yummy! Kanata, Ayumu, everything you made is super yummy! I could eat bowl after bowl of white rice with this miso soup and these rolled eggs as side dishes!
Nozomi
Totally. We're all kicking off our morning in high spirits.
Kotori
We really are!
Honoka
We had some hiccups, but this does feel like a proper training camp with all of the events leading on from yesterday.
Umi
I think zombies showing up counts as a bit more than a hiccup.
Honoka
Ahaha…
Umi
Things got really out of hand thanks to the prank Honoka and her co-conspirators came up with.
Honoka
W-We're so sorry!
Setsuna
It's all right. If we'd taken a moment to think the whole event through, we'd have noticed something was off. We're also to blame for jumping to the wrong conclusion.
Honoka
Setsunaaa!
Umi
Please refrain from spoiling them, Setsuna.
Setsuna
M-My apologies.
Ai
Now, now, I'm enjoying everything. Zombies included.
Rina
I don't dislike thrills.
Eli
I'm jealous that you can enjoy this situation. Though, I do actually feel heartened with all of you here.
Nico
When the time comes, our unity will get us through this. So loosen up those stiff shoulders of yours a little more.
Maki
And who was the one freaking out yesterday?
Nico
M-Maki, you were shaking like a leaf the whole time!
Maki
Wh-Who was?!
Nico
You were!
Nozomi
*Giggle* I bet even the zombies would turn tail and run if they saw how rowdy we are.
Everyone
Ahahaha!
