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!
