Part 1Part 2

Izumi	Alright, that's it for today then. Good job guys.
Banri	Nice work.
Taichi	Good job!
Juza	I'm hungry…
Sakyo	Phew.
Azami	I sweated a lot. I wanna take a bath.
Izumi	(Alright, then I'll close up here…)
Banri	I closed this window here.
Izumi	Thank you, Banri-kun.
Omi	My bad. Director, Banri, do you have a minute. There is something I want to discuss with you.
Banri	Discuss?
Izumi	What happened.
Omi	I've been thinking about ways to get into character see…
Izumi	I think you're doing well for now.
Banri	You've got a hang of it much better than in the beginning.
Omi	Yeah, and I wondered if there was something I could do besides the practice in order to get an even better understanding.
Izumi	Outside of practice, huh…. hmm.
Banri	Like something you're familiar with you can relate to your normal daily life?
Izumi	Speaking about familiar….
CHOICE 1: Cooking? [+] Izumi Something like cooking? When thinking about Omi-kun, you give the impression of making delicious food. Omi It is indeed something I'm familiar with, but I can't really think about how zombies and cooking are related. Izumi Y-Yeah, you're right. You can't really picture a zombie cooking.
CHOICE 2: Bikes? [+] Izumi Bikes? You give this impression of liking bikes. Omi Well I am familiar with bikes, but I can't really think about how zombies and bikes are related. Banri I do feel like it's going to fit judging from the settings of the plot though. Omi If I ride a bike dressed as a zombie in real life, I'm probably going to get into protective custody. Izumi True that… Other things Omi-kun is familiar with are, cooking?
Banri	Then, how about zombie food? Personally it's not something I wanna eat, but I do see it being discussed on social media.
Omi	Zombie food?
Banri	Kinda like this.
Izumi	W-Woah… this thing, is it even edible?
Omi	Its appearance sure leaves an impact…
Banri	But then again, in the end the zombies in the script we have, eat stuff like this right? It's just perfect for trying to grasp the role.
Izumi	True…
Omi	Maybe I'll give it a try…
Izumi	If it's Omi-kun, I'm sure you can make it delicious, but if I see such dishes lining on the dining table, I'm going to lose my appetite…
Banri	I can't tolerate all of dinner being like that. If it's just one dish it's fine though. The others might actually like it too.
Omi	Haha, got it. I'll give it a try tomorrow.
Taichi	Yawns. Gotta go to bed soon~.
	Eh, speaking of which, Omi-kun hasn't been back in a while. I wonder what's up with him.
	From time to time in the night, he's making preparations for tomorrow in the kitchen, I wonder if he's there…
	I'll go peek on him.
	(Woah, somehow it's really quiet~. I wonder if everyone is already sleeping)
	Uuh… because of the upcoming performance, I feel a bit scared at night.
	*sharpens*
	Eep!?
	W, W-W-What was that sound!?
	*sharpens*
	Uwaahh, Omi-kun, where are youuu!
	*sharpens*
Omi	…..
Taichi	Omi-kun, there you are…! You know, just now, there was a weird sound…
Omi	……
	*sharpens*
Taichi	Wait, so that was it. It was the sound of Omi-kun sharpening the knife~. I was so scared.
Omi	…. *sharpens*
Taichi	Y-You're Omi-kun right…?
Omi	….
	*sharpens*
Taichi	O-Omi-kun!!
Omi	?
	Ah, it's you Taichi. I was sharpening the knife so I didn't notice you.
Taichi	I-I see. Somehow there was a weird air about you so--.
Omi	With this I think its sharpness became real good but…
	Maybe I should test it. Right, Taichi…
Taichi	…!! I'm going to get murdered---!!!

Omi	Alright, that's about it I guess…
	I've simply added boiled eggs to this minestrone, and yet it sure became something amazing.
Taichi	G-Good morning...
Omi	Yeah, good morning, Taichi.
Taichi	Huh… today you're acting as normal right.
Omi	Normal?
Taichi	Yesterday night, when Omi-kun was sharpening the knife, it was super scary.
Omi	If it's knife sharpening I'm always doing it you know.
Taichi	It's not something to do so late at night!
Omi	Just when I finished the preparations and cleaned up I noticed it, see. Seems like I've scared you, I'm sorry about that.
Izumi	Ah, Omi-kun, can I have you for a moment.
Omi	Hm?
Izumi	We received some packages earlier and they're pretty heavy. Can you give me a hand?
Omi	Yeah, I've just finished here too.
Izumi	Thank you!
Omi	Taichi, can you watch the pot for a little bit?
Taichi	OK~.
	Hm~ smells great. The minestrone looks delicio…us?
	!! T-This is an eyeballs filled minestrone… nay, bloodystrone…!
	Omi-kun, then he made zombie food to match the upcoming performance huh…?
	If that's the case, it might be better if it's even redder~.
	I'll add this red spice, and… hmhmhmh~m ♪ It became all nice and red~.
Omi	Guys, breakfast is ready.
Juza	I'm hungry.
Muku	Thank you for the food… eh!?
Izumi	There are eyeballs inside…
Yuki	What the heck is that…
Banri	I did say it's okay if it's only one dish, but actually seeing it here is repulsive.
Omi	Haha, well it tastes just like any normal minestrone, so for starters try drinking it.
Yuki	If you ignore the eyeballs, it really might be normal…
Muku	Y-Yeah, you're right.
Juza	--ugh.
Yuki	Uuh…
Banri	Uuh, this is…
Izumi	G-Guys, are you alright!?
Omi	What happened…?
Taichi	They're fainting in agony one after the other…! To think the bloodystrone had such an effect…
Izumi	B-Bloodystrone…?
Muku	Wa, uh…
Izumi	Do you really turn into a zombie if you eat zombie food…!?
Omi	That's impossible…
Chikage	Morning. What's all the noise about?
Izumi	Ah, Chikage-san! Everyone has become like this after they drank from Omi-kun's minestrone…!
Omi	I don't think I added anything weird but…
Chikage	Heh?
	--.
Taichi	Ah, Chikage-san, you better not drink it--!
Chikage	…
Izumi	Are you okay!?
Chikage	It tastes great. Did you add my spice?
Izumi	!!
	Which means, can it be that everyone is just moaning because it's too spicy…
Juza	Uh, W-Wa…
Izumi	Wa, water?
Omi	But, I don't recall ever adding Chikage-san's spice…
Banri	Ugh…
Chikage	If you don't hurry and give them water, they'll turn into zombies.
Izumi	Aah! Guys, wait just a bit okay!
Omi	Let's hurry!
Taichi	Woah, that red spice… it was Chikage-san's spice!? I haven't noticed and added tons of it…!
Banri	Ugh… Taichi, so it was you…
Muku	H-How… mean…
Yuki	Take… responsibility…
Taichi	Y-You're scaring me!! Omi-kun, save me!!
Omi	Wait just a moment. I'll give you water right away.
Juza	Ta… ichi…
Banri	I'll give you… the same…
Taichi	Please hurry up!! A whole herd! A whole herd of zombies is--!!!
