Tenma | ...So why did we have to come too? |
Kumon | Eh~? It’s more fun with everyone! |
Kazunari | Agreed! Senpai gave us lots of tickets for helping out with the fashion show, after all~. |
Yuki | I’m not interested in zombies. |
Muku | Will it be scary? |
Taichi | Uu, I’m bad at this sort of thing.... |
Sakyo | What even is Zombie Run Night? |
Omi | Apparently it’s a seasonal event that uses the entire amusement park. The zombies attack the participating guests. |
Tenma | ...Oh yeah, where are Banri-san and Azami? |
Izumi | Huh? You’re right, they’re not here. |
Kazunari | They’re both helping out. Azamin is doing makeup, and Settsuar is a zombie. |
Muku | Eh!? |
Izumi | I guess it’ll be good special effects practice for Azami-kun, but Banri-kun too...? |
Kazunari | Apparently most of the zombies are students who are studying to be actors—first years from Amabi’s theater course. |
Muku | I see. |
Kazunari | It’s a popular part-time job every year. They’re really pumped. |
Juza | We might get to steal some moves from the zombies. |
Sakyo | We better. Otherwise there will be no reason for us to have come this far. |
Omi | We need to study hard. |
Taichi | ...I’m realllly scared, but I’ll do my best. |
Tenma | B-but we don’t need to practice for any roles! Why do we have to do it too—. |
Misumi | Are you scared, Tenma~? |
Tenma | Nobody said that! |
Kazunari | Ah, don’t worry, don’t worry! There’s a marker to distinguish the event participants from all the other guests. |
|
| The zombies won’t chase after you unless you have this eyeball necklace, so you don’t need to be afraid. |
Tenma | Look, I’m not scared—. |
Yuki | So you’ll put it on? |
Tenma | I never said that! |
Yuki | So you are scared. |
Kazunari | By the way, if a zombie catches you and traps you in the wire cage, you can’t get out until someone frees you from outside, so be careful! |
Taichi | I don’t wanna get caught...! |
Juza | We just have to get back at them. |
Izumi | The actors are normal people, so don’t hurt them, okay...!? |
Kazunari | Here, I’m gonna give everyone a necklace~. |
Sakyo | So they’re testing our courage. |
Misumi | Looks fun~. |
Muku | I’m a little scared, but.... |
Tenma | ...This is so stupid. I’m not joining. |
Yuki | .... |
Tenma | What is it? |
Yuki | Nothing. I think that’s fine. We’re just tagging along with Autumn Troupe this time, after all. |
Tenma | Eh.... |
Kazunari | Yeah, you don’t have to force yourself if you don’t want to~. |
Muku | That’s right. |
Tenma | ...It’s not because I’m scared, okay! |
Yuki | Yeah, yeah. |
| |
Zombie A | Oh no! My makeup’s coming off! |
Zombie B | I need a change of clothes! |
Azami | Who’s next? |
Banri | Me. |
Azami | Oh, right, you were gonna be a part-time zombie? |
Banri | Yup. Seems like it’ll help out with our performance, after all. |
Azami | Sit down. |
Banri | ...Huh. You’ve really gotten used to special effects makeup. |
Azami | I can’t do stuff with latex, but I figured out how to do most of the affordable stuff by watching. |
Banri | Latex? The mask-like stuff? |
Azami | Yeah. I think we’ll be fine without latex for this performance. |
Banri | Huh. I’m looking forward to it. |
Azami | ...Close your eyes. |
Banri | Yeah, yeah. |
| ...Hey, Azami. |
Azami | Ah? |
Banri | Is acting fun for you? |
Azami | What’s this all of a sudden. |
Banri | Just answer. |
Azami | Having fun isn’t really the point right now. |
| I’m playing the lead with no experience or knowledge. There’s so much I still need to learn—I don’t have time for fun. |
Banri | Hmm.... |
| Hey, you should put on makeup and play a zombie today. They won’t know if there’s an extra one running around. |
Azami | What? |
Banri | I’ll teach you what it means to have fun acting. |
