Ch. 19 Ep. 8: Let's Dance, Together!
Once the girls arrive at the cave they see the zombies dancing around a bonfire! Their dance is so fascinating that they must be the nine girls from Nico's ghost story! Empowered, the girls decide to go dance with the zombies.
Honoka
Hey! Can we join you?
Setsuna
Let's dance the night away together!
Ai
Teach us your zombie dance!
???
Honoka, Setsuna, and Ai as well?!
Honoka
Huh?! Chika?!
Chika
Yup, that's me!
Honoka
What?! Ch-Chika?! So that means over there is the rest of Aqours?!
Yoshiko
To wander into a banquet by the fires of the underworld, lost under this cover of darkness… Is that how desperate you were to meet the fallen angel Yohane, little demons?
Honoka
It's Yoshiko!
Yoshiko
Don't call me Yoshiko!
Eli
*Huff* *Puff* We finally caught up…
Eli
Wait, what?!
Dia
Good evening, everyone. It's been a while.
Ayumu
H-Huh? What's Aqours doing here?!
Emma
What's going on? Where are the zombies?
Honoka
Uh… Ummm… We were tracking down some zombies, but we found you guys instead. Huh? You all look normal, but are you actually zombies?
Riko
Well, uhhh… None of us are zombies, you know?
You
That's right. As you can see, we're full of energy.
Mari
We're all in very good health!
Kasumi
Whaaat? But, but! We saw all those zombie clothes strewn about that cave earlier!
Kasumi
That means they MUST be zombies! You got bitten by a zombie and now you've turned, haven't you?! Next you're going to turn all of us into zombies, aren't you?!
Kanan
Oh, you're probably talking about the costumes we wore yesterday. Relax. We're all as regular-as-can-be, normal human beings.
Shizuku
I-Is that true?
Chika
Sure is. C'mon, have a look!
Karin
You really do look like your normal selves.
Everyone
Thank goodness!
[Fade in/out.]
Riko
Ahaha. Sorry about startling you.
Nozomi
Well, we were the ones who jumped to conclusions.
Maki
By the way, what were you all doing out here?
Hanamaru
Filming our promo video, zura.
Hanayo
What?!
Chika
We wanted to film it like a horror movie, so after discussing all of our options, we decided to shoot a horror-esque promo video using special effects makeup.
Nico
What kind of discussion could've brought you to that conclusion?!
Chika
Oh, you know! …Wait, how did we come up with this again?
You
Didn't we decide on this after we watched some famous promo videos?
Kasumi
What you did was SO confusing! We were freeaaaking out because we thought you all were real zombies, you know?!
Emma
But it's okay to relax now, Kasumi.
Shizuku
Yeah. Kasumi, aren't you a little tired from being scared this whole time? You can lean on me, I don't mind.
Rina
I'll support you too.
Shioriko
I-I will also help to the best of my ability.
Kasumi
Oh my gosh, Shizuko, Rinako, Shioko!
Nozomi
How wonderful, the Nijigasaki first years have really deepened their bonds. Anyway, we know you were trying to film a horror video, but what brought you to this island?
Mari
I was searching for good filming locations and happened upon this place by coincidence.
Mari
I know the owners and, after speaking to them, they gladly gave us permission to film here. Though, they said that the only building here was already on loan to someone else.
Dia
We had absolutely no idea that you all were the ones they lent it to.
You
Right! We were so shocked when we saw you at the house last night.
Shioriko
Then you all were the ones who appeared last night?
Ruby
Yup, that was us.
Riko
When we got close to the house for the shoot and saw all of you there, we remembered your training camp.
You
That's the gist of it. We got so excited over the coincidence that we tried to get your attention from outside the window!
Hanamaru
But we were surprised when you suddenly closed the curtain on us, zura.
Umi
I believe anybody would be surprised if someone suddenly banged on their window…
Kotori
Yeah, we were so scared!
Kanan
*Laugh* Sorry about that. We completely forgot about how we looked at that time.
Dia
However, once we realized that we scared you we felt so bad. I am terribly sorry about the trouble we caused you last night.
Ai
I suppose it's totally normal to get pumped up when you're all excited!
Hanayo
So where are you guys staying?
Rin
Oh, that's right… There are no other buildings on this island, huh?
Rina
Wait, are you sleeping outside?
Chika
No way, that'd be unthinkable.
Mari
That's right. We're staying at a hotel on another island nearby. We chartered a boat to come over here for filming.
Maki
I see. Phew, and that clears up all of the mysteries.
Kanata
What a huge relief. I'll be able to sleep like a baby tonight.
Honoka
Aww, I was kinda looking forward to dancing with zombies.
Chika
Then why don't you join us? Come on over! We can all have fun together!
[Fade in/out.]
Ai
That was a blast!
Rin
Singing with everyone is always so much fun!
Shioriko
Everyone, please take a look over there.
Hanayo
Whoa, are those fireflies?
Yoshiko
Heh. I see that the fireflies have gathered to become little demons as well.
Nico
What are you talking about? They for sure came to see the number one idol in the entire galaxy, me!
Eli
Now, now. It's already very late. We really should get back to the house and go to bed. There's plenty of room for all you Aqours girls too, if you like?
Mari
Wow! Really? Then I'll tell the boat not to come back to pick us up tonight.
Hanamaru
That was so fun, zura!
Shioriko
Um, is everyone always like this?
Kotori
Ahaha… Hmm… Yeah, I think so!
Honoka
What?!
Kotori
Whoa, you scared me. What's wrong, Honoka?
Honoka
Did somebody just say something?
Shioriko
No, I don't think so.
Honoka
Hmm, that's weird. I was sure I heard something.
Honoka
Oh well!
Honoka
That was a blast!
