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!
