UNDEAD Easter - Prologue

Prologue

[Location: Light Music Club Room]

Kaoru: Yahoo~, is everyone working hard? I came to show my face as well~♪

(……huh? There’s no one here?)

(Too bad. The girl I was planning to hang out with suddenly had urgent business, so I came here to kill time)

(It’s embarrassing to say, but I don’t really fit in with the rest of UNDEAD)

(They’re all good kids after all)

(What should I do…… I came all the way back to school, it feels useless to turn around and return back home. I don’t want to do that~?)

(Even if I go home, there won’t be anything enjoyable to do…… The mood at home would just feel stuffed)

(Hnn~ Can’t be helped. Should I leisurely spend my time in the Marine Life club room?)

(Or maybe I should tend to my surfboard on the rooftop. If I don’t want transfer student to hate me I shouldn’t be chasing her around just to have fun…….)

Rei: …………

Kaoru: ……GYA!? Ahh that surprised me, why are you standing so silently, Sakuma-san!

Or rather, you were here? I didn’t notice~ Even though you always emit an annoying presence?

Rei: …………

Kaoru: O~i……. Don’t ignore me. Being ignored by a guy doesn’t do anything to me, you know~ You’re uselessly vain, so when you’re quiet it’s actually scary

Rei: ……Hn. Ahh, Kaoru-kun

Kaoru: Yes, It’s Kaoru-kun~ What’s wrong, you look so dejected……

The DDD last time was stupidly harsh, wasn’t it~ It must have left you tired as well?

My body is aching all over too. Muscles that aren’t usually used feel like they’re overused~ For a while, I’ll have to pass on doing something like that again

Rei: Mhm……. For the time being we can rest. I’ve been thinking about doing small jobs that don’t require much effort

I wanted to see what kind of change the revolution, DDD, would bring to Yumenosaki Academy……. I planned to observe carefully and lend a hand when necessary

Presently, there’s no need for us to let our imagination go wild with wrong ideas

Kaoru: So we’re back to the usual outsider position, huh? Though I’ll be thankful if we’re done working like our lives depend on it

Things like hard work and willpower don’t suit me~ I want to get through this without working a sweat♪

Rei: Mhm. That’s the kind of contract we made……. But if you don’t sweat, your body temperature will keep on increasing and your inner flame will end up burning out

You’ll burn in the sunlight like a vampire

Kaoru: What’s that vampire thing~ It’s a persona you suddenly made last year, isn’t it?

I don’t care about it, but wouldn’t your fans from back then be confused?

Rei: Mhm……. Regrettably, it seems I was being hated for being myself. I think you could say “I wasn’t selling”?

Kaoru: What are you talking about? Don’t say you’re not selling well, continue to do activities and increase your popularity

And then I, someone from the same unit, will become popular with the girls without any effort as well♪

Rei: Do you think it’ll be faster to rely on others, rather than working hard yourself?

Kaoru: Sakuma-san as well. I don’t know what this burnout syndrome is, but keep yourself together

They might be both undead, but right now you seem more like a zombie rather than a vampire~?

Rei: I’m not rotting, how rude

……. Thank you for worrying, Kaoru-kun

Kaoru: Not really~? It was just a casual talk to pass time!

I have no reason to be kind to guys~ Everything that comes out of my mouth is only meant to please girls♪

Rei: Hmm, you are a kind child

Hey Kaoru-kun……. I’m sorry for making use of the kind you, but

Kaoru: Eh, what……? Don’t gradually come closer to me, it’s disgusting!?

Rei: Mhm. Even if you say it’s disgusting it can’t be helped. This is a morbid and vulgar act. Virtuous people pull away and avert their eyes. Like it’s immoral.

Kaoru-kun

Kaoru: Wh- What is this? Today you’re acting really strange, Sakuma-san?

Rei: Mhm. I am aware. I have weakened, help me……. Kaoru-kun

Without pulling back, I would have liked for you to listen to me calmly but

Kaoru-kun. I know it’s sudden, but I’d like to drink your blood

Kaoru: …………?

……Huh? Eh, I’d rather not

Rei: Please don’t say that. Young one, there’s no one other than you who I can ask

Kaoru: Nonono? I don’t understand this at all! You want to drink my blood? Why? Being a vampire was just a persona, right? Sakuma-san?

Rei: ………….

Kaoru: Eh? Eh? Don’t come closer to me so silently! Hieee, you’re really scaring me you know!?
