Ch. 19 Ep. 5: The Zombies Are Victims?!
After some careful thought, the girls question if the zombies they saw last night were actually innocent victims who washed up on the island for some reason. They rush to scour the island to provide help, but what do they find?
Honoka
Did you find anyone stranded on the island?
Karin
We didn't obviously didn't find any zombies, but also no signs of people in distress in the area we searched.
Ayumu
There wasn't anyone around the rocks either.
Nozomi
How about the cave?
Kasumi
We didn't look. It's creepy there, so we figured no one would go to a place like that…
Hanayo
Creepy or not, that cave might be a good place to take shelter from the elements.
Ai
Wanna go check it out together, then?
Emma
Sure. I'm a bit scared, but I should be fine if everyone's with me.
Eli
That's true. We should all go together.
Rin
Let's go!
[Fade in/out.]
Kanata
For some reason, this cave seems even creepier than the last time we came.
Nico
H-Hey, look at that. Was that there yesterday?
Hanayo
Nope, it wasn't. There were some clothes and boots scattered about, but nothing like that.
Kasumi
So I know my eyes are super cute, but I think they might be deceiving me. That looks an awful lot like an axe.
Eli
What?! Th-There's no way!
Setsuna
Let's take a closer look.
Nozomi
You know… I've got a really bad feeling about this.
Honoka
No way, there's definitely not something like an axe in here. I'm sure our eyes are playing tricks on us. It's gotta be just a branch.
Honoka
Let me see.
Honoka
Hmm?
Shioriko
What do you think, Honoka? It's just a tree branch, right?
Honoka
U-Umm…
Eli
Honoka! Tell me it's not an axe!
Honoka
Don't worry, it was a branch after all. But there's a bunch of other stuff back there. Kotori, Umi, can you come with me?
Umi
Why are you asking for us?!
Kotori
Ahaha…
Nico
Go on, take a look then come right back!
Umi
Well then, can you come with us too, please, Nico?!
Setsuna
I'll go!
Shizuku
Setsuna?! R-Really?
Karin
Why don't we all go?
Kasumi
The way I'm seeing things might be totally off! It'll be an absolute disaster if I'm wrong again, so I'll just wait right here!
Rina
Who cares. We're going together.
Ayumu
Kasumi, you can follow right behind me.
Kasumi
Waaah! Ayumuuu!
[Fade in/out.]
Kotori
Th-The air is pretty chilly back here. It's completely different from the temperature outside.
Emma
It's hard to see everything, even with our smartphone flashlights on.
Kanata
It's so dark… I'm getting…sleepy.
Nico
How can you possibly sleep at a time like this?!
Maki
Nico, don't yell so much! It echoes around in here!
Honoka
Everyone! Look over there!
Rin
Th-There's so much stuff. And… And…
Kasumi
A-All of it is in tatters! Th-This… This is…
Setsuna
There's some really worn-out clothes, shoes, hats, and…coats? Oh, I see books and suitcases too!
Hanayo
Th-This stuff looks way too worn out to belong to people caught in some sort of accident.
Shioriko
These look like things that would belong to zombies, rather than someone marooned.
Shizuku
Th-Then…this really means…
Shioriko
That's not all. For so many items to be scattered here, could it be that this is perhaps the zombies' den?
Eli
EEEEEEEEEEK!
Nozomi
E-Eli-chi?!
Nico
H-Hey, wait!
[Fade in/out.]
Eli
I don't want to spend another second on this island! Let's escape!
Nico
We already told you, it's still going to be a while before the boat comes back to pick us up!
Shizuku
No, we can't wait! Not only did we not find any stranded people, but we found all that stuff, so they really were zombies last night! They'll be back here when night falls!
Rina
I don't wanna die!
Ai
Rinari, that's the same line as yesterday, but now you sound like you really mean it!
Kasumi
Of course she really means it! Ai, please take this seriously and help us think of ways out of this situation!
Maki
We can't use the phones or radio, so how do you suppose we get off this island?!
