Ah hello. I'm Akabane Shinsuke.
Last time Tachibana and I
recieved a tip about a zombie sighting in a remote area of Tamakawa,
Ookutama, and we went to check.
The community leader said that
no one had seen any zombies.
(What! How many!)
There were actually tons.
It was actually a festival of zombies.
In this chaotic situation, the two of us joined forces and
somehow or other made our escape.
We have to go back now. The people of Ookutama are in danger.
Well, if what the two of them are saying is true
this isn't something the Special Welfare Department can deal with on it's own.
The Preservation Center needs to send someone too.
Right.
You're unable to confirm the situation?
What... Unbelievable.
But, people from my department actually went to that supermarket
and were attacked by a large number of zombies.
I see. Well it can't be helped.
Thank you.
It's seems there's no trace of any zombies at the supermarket.
The store owner was suprised when the police suddenly turned up.
How can that be...
Well in any case...
Anyhow, I'm sure it's nothing serious.
It's getting late, so how about tomorrow you take Okawa
and go and check on the situation.
Erm, cabbage, seasame oil and kitchen paper.
My wife likes to make thorough use of me.
Well, good job.
16 years ago
there was an outbreak of zombies in Western Mexico.
In the blink of an eye they spread across the world.
At first the world was in a panic,
But in reality the zombies were really weak.
It seems like it's going well with Naohiro.
Miwa.
Yes.
Please let us be given a healthy little baby.
Oh, stop with that Mum.
Hey, stop it.
Naohiro-kun, you've really been putting the effort in lately
Ah, sort of.
I know what you're going through.
I also remember what it's like.
You too Dad? This is just between the two of us.
When I first heard we were going to have Miwa, rather than happy
I was relieved.
Is that right.
Women are scary.
What's this? It looks like it's business as usual.
I don't believe it. How?
Anyway, is there some other significance Koda sensei?
Are you asking why I came with you?
There's no way I could keep quiet when I heard there were tons of zombies.
I see.
Were there really a large number of zombies?
There were! I saw them with my very own eyes.
Here there were masses. Loads and loads of undead corpses.
About 10 of them. Yes that's right.
I can't believe it.
What do you think Koda?
Even though it's raining, you can smell them?
No trace of any. See.
Even Koda, who's the best at sniffing out zombies, can't sense any.
Because the of the rain, the smell... No, no.
The rain can't trick this nose! See.
Koda is definitely the best at sniffing out zombies right?
Well all the fluids would definitely have washed away.
No I tell you! The rain can't fool my nose.
See! Let's just go
and take a look inside. That's right.
Was I dreaming or something?
But, it could have been covered up.
Covered up, why would someone do that?
Anyway, where are all the zombies?
Welcome.
Excuse me. What is it?!
The Special... I'm calling the police.
We're from the Special Welfare Dept. The Special Welfare Dept.
Excuse me.
You scared me! Coming in here, dressed like that!
I'm really sorry, hey, you too.
I'm very sorry.
So it was you guys.
We didn't know what to make of the report yesterday evening.
Pedro turning up as part of the village neighbourhood watch,
and a call from the main office for police support. We were surprised.
Sorry, it was their fault. Ah, I'm sorry.
But, yesterday when we were here
the shop manager was out right.
No, I popped out quickly to the field out back, but I was here
pretty much all the time. Why are you lying!
Tachibana! Let it go...
Koda-kun, what do you think?
There's absolutely no trace of zombies.
How... But they were definitely here!
That's enough. I'm really sorry.
These useless employees have caused you quite the bother.
Okawa, something fishy is going on.
That's right, it's wierd. Those people are lying.
To me it seems like
you are the wierd ones. Actually it is a bit strange.
What do you mean? There's not enough smell.
It's too clean. Even the corners have been disinfected.
Rather it's unnatural. Right?
They've probably just had a major clean up.
Come on. I'm starving, let's go eat some soba or something.
I've had a long drive, I'm knackered.
Soba? Rin-rin, do you like soba?
Yes. Tachibana?
Ah no. Let's head back in,
and force the truth out of them.
But the officer told us how it was. Do you doubt him too?
Well, I guess that's right. So,
let's go have some soba, discuss what to do and come back.
If we go in now, they'll just say the same thing.
That's right. What?
Soba's nice isn't it. And the water here's really clean
so the soba will be delicious. That's right.
I know somewhere that's good.
Ah, you can't mean where we ate yesterday?
Yes. You can't eat there, that's...
If you don't like it, don't come.
You stay here and investigate. That's an order.
Understand? Understand?
You too Tachibana? Understand?
Ah, you don't know but, that soba restaurant,
It's bad!
Just like the community leader said, the population is declining.
Former Ookutama Primary School
We're doing the best we can, with foreign students like Pedro
to bring people into the countryside
but so far...
Stinks.
What's this? Smells like yesterday's zombies.
What's the situation?
Ah, she's the old woman...
Thank young lady, for coming here once again.
Your boyfriend doesn't seem to be with you though.
It's bad Rin-rin.
It's yummy!
This tempura?
Mushroom? Could it be...
We only just made it yesterday.
Thank goodness Pedro is dependable. Quite.
They're lively aren't they. Indeed.
Really.
No way...
They're there!
I knew they were real.
The villagers...
I've never seen any zombies.
Towns are where you find zombies aren't they?
Without a doubt, there are no zombies here.
They're taking care of the zombies?
Toilet paper.
Hey, hey, it's me!
That man... Pedro. He was carrying lots.
Hang on a second.
They're controlling the zombies using toilet paper?
Oh no! I have to tell everyone.
Koda-kun... why?
Ah, I've got no reception.
Ah, what to do!
The mushrooms are working their magic.
The effect is going to get stronger.
Granny, shall we swap over.
Please take this off of me.
I can't do that.
Well then boss. Officer.
Where are you taking us?
We're going to feed you to the zombies.
We've got lots in the gym. We're putting you in there with them.
An owl?!
Damn it!
We're going up here.
O?
Okama? (transvestite)
Officer, leave it to me.
Don't think you'll get away, these legs got me 2nd place in the nationals.
Senpai
You dropped something.
Hey, you dropped something.
Drat!
If only I could move my body I'd...
With my triceps...
How did this happen?
Because you were sniffing around.
Yesterdays mushrooms gave you the runs, today's stole your senses.
I thought as much.
Those zombies,
are our family.
You dropped something!
Isn't it something important?
An owl?
I'm not a thief, I'll leave it here.
What should I do? I should call for help.
There is no signal here either!
What should I do?
Koda Koda right! You were trying to tell me something.
Well "o", he was making an "o".
And then... what is that?
"o" "ne" (this means sister, amongst other things)
A transvestite?
Sister... sister Sister what?
um sist...
The ridge? The ridge!
"O ne" can also mean mountain ridge (尾根).
The ridge. To use the phone.
I see. It's a high place.
I might get a signal there.
How difficult was that to get... "ridge!"
Right, I'm going, I'm climbing up.
It will be fine. Let's go.
No good!
However it's not just about declining birth rates.
The young people longed for the city
and so, little by little they were disappearing.
Then one day.
Thanks for the food.
Suddenly zombie's appeared.
Zombie's are increasing before my eyes.
Emiko.
Where are you going?
Koda, Okawa,
Tachibana. Wait for me.
Alright how about now?
One bar. Yes!
All the young people became zombies.
What about registering?
Registering?
There's no way we could do that!
they'd be taken away and who knows what would happen to them.
That's why we decided to live together
with the zombies our young people had become.
What zombies love is toilet paper.
Look, it's your beloved toilet paper.
Look!
Look, look, there's loads of toilet paper.
Here's some too, here here.
It's the best thing to use with zombies.
Pedro? Why are you here?
I was concerned about my zombie virus infection when I heard about this place and came.
Infection?
Pedro you too?
By and by, I'll become a zombie too.
Whether they are zombies or Tokuho
we decided to accept them as they are.
Other Tokuho too?
Leader.
Sorry, I failed to catch him.
Even though I placed 2nd in nationals...
That's our Shinsuke...
Hurry and take them to the gymnasium.
We have to decide matters before
that young man calls for help.
We'll keep your secret, please spare our lives.
I'm afraid we can't.
We can't permit anyone breaking apart our family.
Take them.
Get off!
(Shinsuke's current position)
Finally! Koda.
Chief Omori, it's Akabane Shinsuke.
We're in a state of emergency!
Well everyone in you come.
Here are our lovely zombies.
What part of those things are your family.
They're just zombies.
They're no longer your family!
Shut up, don't talk like you know!
They'll attack some unsuspecting person,
and take them away from their loved ones.
What about the one's left behind!
They're coming, they're coming. What does a girl like you know about anything!
You're the ones who don't understand!
What? What this?
Rin-rin, I can move again...
The mushroom's poison must have worn off.
Let's do this!
It's the turn of my latissimus dorsi muscles!
Pedro.
Just a minute. Could you untie me.
Ouch, ow. I give in, I give in.
You who are shielding the zombies, and also all of these zombies
I won't allow it!
What do you know about anything.
Please stop already!
Senpai. Shinsuke.
They've become zombies,
but maybe we can understand these peoples feelings.
They became zombies but family is family.
What are you saying Senpai. They're not family.
Once they become zombies they are no longer family.
However, you people are not thinking of them as family!
What did you say?
Do you allow your family
to attack strangers?
Do we make our family kill people?
I've never heard of such a thing.
Don't talk like you understand!
Get off me! You!
Tachibana! It's dangerous Leader.
Let me go! Tachibana!
It's dangerous Leader.
Okay, okay, as you are. You're in the way.
What? As you are, as you are. You're in the way!
I'll leave it to you Rin-rin. However, you're were slow!
Given the situation of course it was "ridge"
I had no idea. What was with Okama (transvestite)
How do you make a "Ne"?
Hey you. You were late!
What were you doing? I was climbing up the mountain.
I didn't have any signal. Mountain climbing?
I was just about to become dinner for the zombies.
Ow, you're hurting me.
Ah boss.
I didn't think that the two of you would come.
After your call I contacted Machiruda at the Preservation center straight away...
I thought it best not too make too big a deal of it.
If the world found out, it would cause quite the disturbance right.
At any rate, you made and awesome combination.
What? Ah, was that a bit dubious?
Despite what I look like, I was part of the Defence force.
That's enough. I, erm, have too...
get rid of the rest of the poison in my system.
That's right He ate loads of the mushrroms.
Are those zombies the type you're concerned about?
Unfortunately the speed of the infection wasn't abnormal.
Isn't it just a figment of your imagination this new type of zombie?
For the time being, please let me do an examination.
Please bring the 3 zombies to me as quick as possible.
Understood. Please leave it too me.
Thank you.
Um excuse me, would it be okay to take a look at one of the zombies.
Just for reference. Sure, there you go.
Ah I'm tired.
Um...
Um, are you angry about earlier?
It's ok, I'm not angry at all.
Anyway, whatever.
Um... Thank you for calling for backup.
No problem.
Yes.
Er Tachibana.
Why do you hate the zombies so much?
What?
I'm sorry, but I've just always wondered.
It's nothing.
Nothing.
