[CiRCLE: Cafeteria]

Rimi: ............
Misaki: Rimi?
Rimi: .....! Ah, good morning Misaki-chan
Misaki: Sorry for calling out to you. Were you concentrating on something?
Rimi: Nah, It's fine. I was watching this video. This one here......
Misaki: Wa! Zombies!? What the heck is that, a movie?
Rimi: Yeah! it's the trailer for "Bio panic 3"! It comes out next week but I can't wait for it so I've been watching it on loop
Misaki: So......You like that kind of stuff?
Rimi: Yeah! The BioPanic series story is interesting and the action scenes are amazing, it's been popular since the first movie!
Misaki: Has it now~......
Rimi: I personally prefer ghost horrors but this one isn't too gory so I can watch it fine
Misaki: Gory...... I see
Rimi: Ah~...... Can't they just hurry up and release it...... Ah, oh yeah. The leading actress is cool as well
Misaki: Haha, I can tell...... You're really looking forward to it
Rimi: Ah, sorry about that. I started ranting on
Misaki: Nah it's fine. It was just kinda funny seeing a different side of you. I didn't know you were such a big fan. and it did sound kinda interesting
Rimi: Is that so? ......Eh, so are you interested in the movie as well?
Misaki: Eh? I guess I'm mildly interested
Rimi: Then...... How about you come watch it with me...... If you want to that is?
Rimi: I was planning to watch it alone but it would be a lot more fun going with someone else.......Ah! That's only if you're up for it!
Misaki: Hnn...... Sure why not, I guess I'll tag along
Rimi: Really!? OK let's go! Ah~ I'm can't freaking wait~!
Misaki: Haha, She's gone into Kansai mode
Rimi: Ah. Ehehe...... I know, before I watched 3 I was thinking about watching 1 and 2 to refresh my memory, want to watch them with me as well......!
Misaki: I get it, I'll tag along
Rimi: Thanks Misaki~!

[Hanasakigawa girls school: Class 2-A]

Rimi: Excuse me......
Kasumi: Want to go eat lunch! Rimirin?
Rimi: Yeah. Ah, but I have some business to take care of with Misaki-chan first......
Misaki: Me? What is it?
Rimi: It's about the movie we were talking about earlier, I brought the spin off manga. I thought you'd be able to better enjoy the movie if you read it. here you go
Misaki: Aah, oh that. Thanks
Kasumi: Eh, you're going to the movies with Misaki-chan? Must be nice!
Misaki: Do you like movies Toyama-san?
Kasumi: I love em! As long as they're heart poundingly fun ones! What movie you seeing?
Rimi: This moive will make your heart pound right out of your chest! I can't wait for it
Misaki: No way, It might be heart-pounding but where's the......Fun....part?
Kokoro: Whatcha doing!? Having a fun conversation without me!?
Kasumi: Kokoron! It's like, Rimirin and Misaki-chan are going to see a fun movie together!
Kokoro: Are they? That is fascinating. If it really that much fun then I want to see it as well!
Rimi: Sure, it's super fun! Why don't you two come watch it with us? You're cool with that aren't you Misaki-chan?
Misaki: Sure, I don't really mind but...... You know we're going to see that movie right? You sure about this?
Rimi: It's "Bio panic 3"!
Kokoro: Oh my? That person on the front cover needs to take a trip to the hospital don't they. Are they alright?
Kasumi: Wait what...... That's a freaking z-zombie!?
Rimi: Yeah! It's really fun and heart-pounding! Ehehe...... I'm so glad I get to watch it with everyone
Kasumi: Ahaha......About that~......
Kokoro: If Rimi's says it's that much fun then it must be a blast!
Rimi: Yeah! I think you'll love it as well
Kokoro: OK then, I'm going! This is going to be great isn't it Kasumi!
Kasumi: About that......
Rimi: It's gonna be great Kasumi-chan!
Kasumi: Yeah sure~...... Ahahahaha......
Misaki: Haha...... Rimi's surprisingly pushy......

[Chapter 1: Unite! from A to Z-ombie]
[Synopsis: Rimi brings Misaki and the girls some zombie manga to prepare them for the movie]

[???]

Rimi: *Pant*......*Pant*...... What......Should we do ......!
Misaki: Calm down. *Pant*...... We left all of our belongings with Toyama-san so we don't even have our phones to call for help......
Rimi: Oh yeah, Kasumi-chan......! I wonder if Kokoro-chan is alright as well......?
Misaki: ...... She's fine, safe and sound
Rimi: Yeah, I'm sure she is......
Misaki: Yeah, so we need to concentrate on ourselves right now and come up with a way to get out of here in one piece......!

[Hanasakigawa girls school: Class 2-A]

Kokoro: ...... Eh, so that's the end? What's gonna happen to those two!?
Rimi: That's in the next volume......
Misaki: Oi-, that's enough manga, let's hurry up and eat our lunch
Kasumi: Agreed! It's like we haven't even started eating~
Rimi: Sure thing. Shall we read the rest later Kokoro-chan
Kokoro: got it. You...... sure do like these kind of stories don't you Rimi!
Kokoro: But it's kind of weird isn't it that everyone in it is distraught and crying. Wouldn't you get more enjoyment out of a story where everyone is smiling?
Rimi: Hmm......So you mean like getting chased by smiling zombies?
Kokoro: Yeah that! And then they'd chase after everyone with a smile!
Kasumi: You just made it even more nightmarish~!
Misaki: Haha...... But I do feel like a more peaceful story would suit Rimi's personality
Rimi: You think?
Kasumi: Yeah! A really adorable one like "The adventures of Choco corone-chan"!
Rimi: Ahaha, I wouldn't mind watching that~. But you know, there's a kind of fun only horror can offer
Kokoro: Is there now?
Rimi: Yeah! When you watch horror your heart pounds when you wonder "What's gonna happen next" doesn't it?
Kokoro: Yeah! That manga made my heart pound! I can't wait to read the rest!
Rimi: And I love imagining stuff like "What would I do in that situation......"
Kasumi: Eeh~!? I'd be too scared to do anything~
Rimi: Yeah, I'm sure I would be as well but...... You can do and be anything in your imagination
Rimi: You can imagine yourself being the hero who summons up their courage to overcome insurmountable odds
Misaki: Yeah..... But like aren't kind of horrors hard to stomach?
Rimi: I'm guess I'm not a fan of those ones. I end up feeling sorry for everyone being subjected to too many cruel jump scares......
Rimi: I guess that's why I love ghosts, curses and occult stuff instead
Kasumi: That's horrifying Rimiri-n!
Rimi: It's OK Kasumi-chan! This one won't be as gory!
Kasumi: It is a bit gory though isn't it!
Misaki: Oh yeah, you did say that the action scenes were incredible didn't you
Rimi: Yeah they are! They're really intense and heart pounding~
Kokoro: I finally get it! Basically horror is the same kind of thrill you get from a haunted house and a roller coaster!
Rimi: Yeah!
Kokoro: That does sound like fun!
Kasumi: Rimi and Kokoro are all hyped up about this...... Wonder if I should back out?
Misaki: It'll be alright Toyama-san. I don't even like horror that much
Kasumi: Don't you? So you're scared of them as well?
Misaki: I'm no sure about......Scared. Like most horrors are cliched
Misaki: They usually always run into a dead end, then they always drop and lose something crucial. And just when you think they're done for a weapon or something will appear out of thin air
Misaki: Those types of scenes make me internally scream "Oh come on!" so I can't concentrate on the story......
Rimi: Nothing to worry about there Misaki-chan! Cause this series has a good storyline!
Misaki: Chill out, I heard you the first time. I said I'm looking forward to it
Kasumi: Eh, so I'm the only one who hates horror?
Kokoro: Check it out Kasumi! This scene is amazing!
Kasumi: WAHHH!
Misaki: Kokoro, save the manga for later! Hurry up and eat, lunchtime is almost over
Kokoro: Oh my, it's that time already? Sure thing!
Kasumi: Uwu~......Gory gore...... I think I'm gonna puke......


[Chapter 2: Who came with them to the zombie movie?]
[Synopsis: The girls meet at Rimi's place for a zombie flick appreciation meeting and the 4 girls buy some snacks at the shopping district]

[???]

Misaki: Fuu...... We've shaken them off for now......?
Rimi: They don't seem to be chasing us but......
Misaki: Let's rest up a bit, I'm dying from all that running
Rimi: Yeah...... There's loads of food here so we can barricade ourselves as a last resort!
Misaki: Haha, Is that a zombie movie fact?
Rimi: Yeah. When people barricade themselves in places like this they......Gradually start to run out of food and start fighting because of it
Misaki: You just had to mention that didn't you?
Rimi: Ah......Sorry
Misaki: Haha, it's fine. It was a nice little distraction
???: UGAAAA......!
Rimi: :MisakiOkusawa: ......!

[Shopping district]

Kokoro: UGAAAA......!
Kasumi: You're gonna make me wet myself Kokoron~!
Misaki: Girls, It's fine to play zombies and all but don't run around
Rimi: Fufu. I'm glad you two like zombies so much
Misaki: Nah, I don't think Toyama-san....... Whatever, I don't care. Anything else you want to buy for later?
Rimi: I bought some snacks and drinks so I guess I'm fine. And I think I have stuff at home as well so
Kokoro: You got any popcorn? You can't watch a movie without popcorn!
Misaki: I already bought some, The caramel stuff
Kokoro: Perfect! Well then let's head over to Rimi's place! I'm itching to see those zombie movies!
Rimi: Yeah! We'll start off with 1. It's amazing from the get go~ It's set in an decrepit house......
Kasumi: Rimirin looks like she's having a blast~...... This is the first time she's held a movie review session
Kasumi: Hey, Toyama-san. Has Rimi always been this hyperactive?
Kasumi: Eh? She's usually a bit quieter than she is now but....... She does gets like this after eating a choco cornets!
Misaki: Haha......So she loves choco cornets as much as she does zombies
Kasumi: If you put something she loves in front of her she probably gets more fired up than the rest of Popipa!
Misaki: Does she, that's surprising. Cause from afar she looks like the quiet type
Kasumi: Rimirin isn't just the quiet type. when push comes to shove she'll lead horse to water and make them drink!
Rimi: Did you call me Kasumi-chan?
Kasumi: We just were talking about how amazing you are! Cause you lead Popipa when you were composing a encouragement song for the shopping district didn't you?
Rimi: I didn't do anything like that. We all made that song together, I just said I wanted to do it
Misaki: Yeah but saying you want to do something for yourself is pretty hard isn't it. Since you have to take responsible for it, and it's amazing if you followed through
Rimi: It really wasn't anything nothing special...... And if I'm amazing then you are as well?
Misaki: Me? Why?
Rimi: Because you do all kind of stuff for Hello happy don't you? Not just compose songs but you also coordinate everyhing......
Misaki: Nah, that's just...... Because I somehow keep getting dragged along for the ride. And Kanon-san is there to help as well
Kokoro: I know right, that's cause Misaki is amazing!
Misaki: Yeah yeah...... Whatever
Kokoro: Misaki doesn't get on stage with us but she's a precious member of Hello happy!
Rimi: See, even Kokoro says you're amazing?
Misaki: Yeah whatever...... Let's end the convo here! Look, we've bought what we needed so let's get our butts over to Rimi's house
Rimi: Fufu, yeah!


[Chapter 3: Zombie film festival]
[While enjoying the zombie movies the girls come to a realization]

[???]

Misaki: ....... Oh crap, a dead end......!
Rimi: Misaki-chan! They're coming......!
???: Ahhhhh......!
Rimi: Isn't there anything we can use......?
Misaki: This ain't no movie......
Rimi: Hnn, we have to find something......Anything!

[Ushigome residence: Rimi's room]

Rimi: Good luck you two......!
Kokoro: Oh no! The zombies have already caught up to them!
Kasumi: Forget about finding a weapon just hurry up and leg it!
Misaki: Yeah but their escape route is blocked......
Kasumi: But still~...... Aren't you scared?
Misaki: Huh? Not......Really.....
Kokoro: Misaki! A zombie!
Misaki: Waa......!
Kokoro: You looked like you just saw a ghost!
Misaki: That's cause you burst by eardrums with that scream......!
Rimi: Fufu, nothing beats the thrill of this, it's like so much fun!
Kokoro: It might be fun being a zombie if I get to see at everyones shocked faces!
Misaki: Stop being so creepy
Kokoro: Oh, and when we both become zombies we'll be zombuddies! And we'll have fun spooking everyone!
Misaki: Seriously!? What's wrong with you......!?
Kasumi: Yeah but maybe...... Instead of running away forever I should just die and become a zombie.......
Misaki: She's even infected Toyama-san
Kasumi: Cause...... If you become a zombie then there's nothing else to be afraid of.....
Kasumi: But I don't want everyone else turning into a zombie~! Rimirin~ promise me you won't get zombified!?
Misaki: She's talking as if your could really become a zombie
Rimi: Kasumi-chan...... Ahaha, It's alright. I won't turn into a zombie
Kasumi: You sure? You promise!?
Rimi: Yeah, I promise. Cause if I did become a zombie I wouldn't be able to play in the band with you
Kasumi: Rimiri~n......
Rimi: And I wouldn't be able to hang out with you like we're doing now or eat choco cornets!
Misaki: Why the heck did you mention choco cornets
Kokoro: ...... Hey Misaki-chan. Do you think Hello happy will live on even If I become a zombie?
Misaki: Hnn, That would be a bit tough~?
Kokoro: I guess it would. Then I don't want to be a dumb zombie....... I'll just pretend to be one!
Misaki: You do just that, that would be one less pain for me to deal with
Kasumi: Yeah! Let's all just run away from the zombies!
Rimi: Yeah, If zombies ever do come let's all get back home in one piece
Misaki: ...... So shall we all prepare ourselves for that day by carefully watching the movies
Rimi: Yeah, Shall we watch the rest?
Kasumi: Ah, it looks like those two are safe...... That's a relief~
Misaki: They've gotten somewhere far enough away and they've a decent weapon
Kokoro: Those two are pretty lucky aren't they!
Rimi: It's not luck. This is just foreshadowing for what is about to come......

[Chapter 4: Unusual Incident]
[Synopsis: The 4 girls arrive at the cinema to watch the new zombie movie. after the credits roll the girls are shocked by an unusual incident]

[Station entrance]
[Movie release day]


Rimi: Uwa~......I can't stop trembling with excitement~. Let's hurry up and go!
Kokoro: Yeah! Let's hurry up and see the zombies!
Misaki: Ahaha, Calm your jets Rimi. Rushing there won't make the movie start earlier
Rimi: Yeah but...... Ehehe
Kasumi: Aww~ Must be nice to not be afraid~...... I wonder if modern zombies movies are now suitable for children~?
Misaki: Yeah, I don't think they are......
Rimi: OK let's go~!

[Shopping mall]

Kasumi: I never thought we would go see a zombie movie when we talked about going to the cinema......
Rimi: I know right~ I never thought I would get to see a zombie movie with someone else~
Misaki: It's like two sides of the same coin......
Kokoro: Oh my? Hey, what's that......?
Misaki: Hn? What's what?
Chisato: ...... Oh my, it's you girls
Rimi: Hello Chisato-senpai! Quite the coincidence
Chisato: Yeah, sure...... You girls out shopping?
Rimi: Nope, movies! "Bio panic 3"!
Chisato: ......Oh, really?
Kokoro: Hey, Chisato-chan are you with Aya?
Chisato: Oh shi......! Aya-chan? Nope, I'm totally not here with her
Kasumi: Are you out shopping, Chisato-senpai?
Chisato: No, Just running an errand. More importantly......
Chisato: Just a friendly word of warning...... If you're going to see that movie you should head straight home when it finishes
Rimi: Huh......?

[Shopping mall: Cinema]

Rimi: Chisato-senpai was acting kinda weird wasn't she?
Kasumi: I wonder what she meant when she said...... "head straight home"?
Misaki: Who knows......Maybe she meant don't get home too late or something? Was she always like that, I don't even remember?
Rimi/Kasumi: Hnnnn......?
Kokoro: Why do you look so puzzled? It's time to go in!
Rimi: Yeah. Nothing we can do about, so shall we go!?

[After the movie]

Rimi: Haa~ ...... That was a blast~......! That final scene where they escaped from the horde of zombies was amazing!
Misaki: Yeah, it packed quite the punch. You're right it was amazing
Kasumi: Punch, more like knockout blow~! My heart pounded so much that I think I'm gonna drop dead
Kokoro: Yeah, zombies are amazing! They make people wet themselves with shock just by popping out! Zombies are the best thing ever!
Rimi: Fufu, I'm glad you all enjoyed it~. Hey, Kasumi-chan can you look after my belongings for a second?
Kasumi: Yeah, sure!
Misaki: Ah, mine too, I'll just be a sec
Rimi: Sorry for holding you up Misaki-chan
Misaki: Let's make our way back to the other girls......
Rimi: Wait what!?
Announcer: To all customers. A state of emergency has been declared in the vicinity of the cinema. Please evacuate the building in a safe and orderly fashion
Misaki: Evacuate......? But it doesn't feel like anything has happened?
Rimi: Yeah......Should we just head back to where Kasumi and Kokoro are?

[Shopping mall: Cinema]

Rimi: They're not here...... I wonder if they've already evacuated?
Misaki: Looks like it. And since all the stores lights are out...... we should go as well. Huh?
Rimi: Aya-senpai?
Aya: ............aaaaa
Misaki: Eh......?

[Chapter 5: Outbreak]
[Synopsis: Rimi and Misaki are attacked by a deranged Aya. Can they escape this living nightmare......? ]

[Shopping mall: Cinema]

Aya: ............aaaaaa
Misaki: Eh......? Aya-senpai, looks hideous.....Almost like, a zom---
Rimi: Misaki-chan, behind Aya-senpai...... Is......!
Misaki: That's a horde of......zo-zombies?
Zombie horde: Ahhhhh!
Aya: Ahhhh!
Misaki: That's absurd.....!  Rimi.......Let's get the hell out of here!
Rimi: Yeah......!

[Shopping mall]

Rimi: How...... And why is all this happening......!?
Misaki: Just after we watched a zombie movie we're chased by zombies...... That's just unbelievable!
Rimi: But that was......Aya-senpai though right......?
Misaki: Maybe...... Like how I imagine her before putting her make up on......
Aya: Gaaaaa!
Misaki: She's here! Hmm...... Let's leg it over there!

[Shopping mall: Arcade]

Rimi: *Pant*......*Pant*...... What......Should we do ......!
Misaki: Calm down. *Pant*...... We left all of our belongings with Toyama-san so we don't even have our phones to call for help......
Rimi: Do you think Kasumi-chan and Kokoro-chan are alright......? And...... Are there really zombies......!?
Misaki: There's no way they're real but....... I don't think Aya-san would even joke about walking out in public....... Looking like that
Aya: Uhhhh......
Rimi: Hii......!
Misaki: Shhh......She hasn't noticed us yet...... Let's tip-toe out of here......
Rimi: Yeah......
Rimi: ......! My clothes are snagged......!
Aya: Ahhhh!
Misaki: Over here Rimi!!

[Shopping mall: Food court]

Aya: UGAAAA......!
Rimi/Misaki:......!
Aya: uuurrr......
Rimi: She's coming right for us.......
Misaki: It's alright......This is fine.......!
Rimi: .......It's gone quiet hasn't it
Misaki: Wonder if she's gone......?
Aya: GyaAAAaaaarrr!
Rimi/Misaki: WAA---!

[Shopping mall: General store]

Aya: aaaaa......!
Misaki: A dead end...... We're screwed......!
Rimi: We can die when we're dead, Misaki-chan! Cause there has to be something here we can use......!
Misaki: That's just what they say in movies! This ain't no god damn movie!?
Rimi: But I have to get back home in one piece cause I made a promise with Kasumi-chan.....! To not turn into a zombie
Misaki: Rimi......
Aya: Gaaaa!
Rimi: Something, anything......Ah, this!
Misaki: That's a machine gun? But It's a toy though right.......
Rimi: Even if it is a toy it's should still be enough to spook them.......! Then we can make a break for it......
Misaki: You're nuts.......!
Aya: GWAAAAA!
Rimi: Please forgive me......Aya-senpai!


[Ending: The end of the zombie days...?]
[Synopsis: It's all over and Rimi and the girls life returns back to normal. But...Then Misaki notices something]

[Shopping mall: General store]

Rimi: Please forgive me......Aya-senpai!
Aya/Chisato: You've been pranked~!
Rimi/Misaki: .......Huht?

[Shopping mall]

Kasumi: We're you alright!? Misaki-chan! Rimirin!
Rimi: Yeah but...... That scared the heck out of me......
Misaki: So wait, that was like......A prank, or something......?
Chisato: Sorry you girls got dragged into the shoot
Chisato: It's part of a publicity stunt for "Bio panic 3" When an audience member finishes watching the movie they prank them with zombies but .....
Chisato: I didn't expect them to target you two......I'm sorry for scaring you
Rimi: Nah! It's fine! Haa~...... I'm so relieved it was a prank
Misaki: And you knew about it all along, that's why you told us to go home straight away
Chisato: Yeah, and......
Aya: Rimi-chan, Misaki-chan! Sorry for scaring you
Kasumi: Wa! What the heck!
Misaki: That was some incredibly realistic acting and make up you had there Aya-senpai......
Aya: Huh, Really? Did I act like a proper zombie?
Rimi: I thought you were a real zombie~
Aya: For real!? Did you hear that Chisato-chan? Woohoo!
Misaki: And Hiding the fact that Aya-senpai was here was part of the prank as well wasn't it
Chisato: Yeah, I'm really sorry for scaring you. You're safe now so you can relax. Well then, it's time for us to get back to work
Aya: Spook you later~!
Rimi/Misaki .............*Sigh~*
Kasumi: Good work girls~! How was the prank?
Rimi: I'm beat from all that running~. But now that I think about it it was kinda......Fun
Misaki: What you on about. It was just traumatising
Rimi: Yeah maybe but...... Since you encouraged me I felt safe even when we were running away
Misaki: No way, you were a gangster when you needed to be. Like when you were about to bust a cap into zombie Aya-senpai face
Misaki: Honestly I was kinda ready to just give up and die......
Rimi: That's because...... I had a promise to keep with Kasumi-chan
Kasumi: Me?
Rimi: You said you didn't want me to turn into a zombie so I fought until the very last moment
Kasumi: Rimiri~n...... Yeah! I'm so glad you're alright!! Huggu!
Misaki: Haha......Thank god it was a just prank. Well it's about time we headed home....... Wait, where's Kokoro?
Kasumi: Hmm, about that......

[Station entrance]

Misaki: We never did end up finding her then did we. She hasn't read her messages and she's not answering her phone......I'm really sorry about this
Kasumi: No need for that. But I am worried sick. I went back to look for her after we split up but she was already long gone by then......
Rimi: Maybe she already went home? They announced the evacuation and Chisato-senpai did tell us to go home straight away
Misaki: I hope so...... I'll try calling her home later
Kasumi: ....... Hey, isn't that Kokoron over there?
Kokoro: ............
Misaki: Huh? It is. Oi Kokoro! You could have at least replied to your freaking messages......!
Kokoro: ...........
Rimi: Isn't Kokoro-chan acting a kinda...... Weird?
Misaki: Hey, Kokoro.......Are you pretending to be a zombie or something? The pranks already over......
Kasumi: Eek.......!
Kokoro: ......GAAAAAAA!
Rimi/Misaki/Kasumi: Wa~~~~~!
[END]

[Kokoro 3☆ Curiosity killed the Kokoro][Main story: Aiming for the ultimate zombie]

[Shopping mall: Zombie movie exhibition]

Kokoro: Amazing! There are so many different kinds of zombies! So this is where all those zombies originated from!
Kokoro: Hmm......" The history of zombies even shares its history with the development of the prosthetic make up used in movies"
Kokoro: Eeh! So zombies are something you can become with the power of make up! That's amazing!
Kokoro: It's wonderful being able to see how well the make up has improved when they're all lined up like this!
Kokoro: The modern stuff is incredibly realistic and the black and white era's stuff has a nice charm to it
Kokoro: I can feel the heart and soul they pour into them to entertain their audience!
Kokoro: I wonder if Kasumi and the others are here yet? Kasumi did say she would bring Misaki and Rimi here later but I'm dying to show them these wonderful zombies!
Kokoro: Oh my? Wow......! Well if it isn't a commemorative photo background! I wonder if there's anyone who could take a photo for me?
Black suits: Leave it to us
Kokoro: Thanks! Then, one photo please. Yay!
Kokoro: Thanks, that's a perfect photo!
Kokoro: Hnn, Isn't there any way I can become more like a zombie from the exhibition?
Kokoro: I know! Can you black suit girls lend me a hand?

[1 hour later]
[Station entrance]

Kokoro: GAAAAA! ...... Fufu, now I'm like a real zombie!
Kokoro: I'm sure Kasumi and the girls would enjoy it I were to pop out in front of them like this and spooked them!
Kokoro: Oh my, speak of the devils. They're here......Fufu♪
Kasumi: ...... Hey, isn't that Kokoron over there?
Kokoro: (So how should I scared them? Like, roar!?...... Nah, zombies don't sound like that do they)
Misaki: Huh? It is. Oi Kokoro! You could have at least replied to your freaking messages......!
Kokoro: (I'm gonna wait until they get closer, quickly turn around and go......GAAAAAAAA! ...... Yeah, perfect)
Rimi: Isn't Kokoro-chan acting a kinda...... Weird?
Kokoro: (They're here! Alright......Let's do this!)
Kokoro: GAAAAAAA!
Rimi: :MisakiOkusawa: :KasumiToyama: WAA~~~~~!
Kasumi: Kokoron is a....... Zzzzzombie......!?
Kokoro: GAAAAAAA!
Kasumi: Get the hell away from me~!
Misaki: ...... Wait a sec. Isn't that just make up?
Kokoro: ......Huh? You're on to me already?
Rimi: :KasumiToyama: Eh?
Misaki: Don't scare us like that...... I've already had my fill of zombies for the day
Kokoro: And I totally thought my plan was perfect and everything, you knew right away didn't you?
Misaki: Yeah, we just got caught up in a zombie prank..... And we were chased around by zombies wearing the same make up
Kokoro: Were you!? If I knew the they were holding such a fun event I would have stayed in the shopping mall a bit longer!
Misaki: Nah, it was pretty hardcore so there was no time to enjoy yourself.......
Rimi: But I bet Kokoro-chan would be able to enjoy herself even in that situation ......
Kasumi: For Christ's sake! You scared the crap out of me Kokoron!
Kokoro: Fufufu! So did you enjoy it?
Rimi: It was more......Terrifying than fun~. So what's with the make up?
Kokoro: The black suit girls did it for me!
Misaki: What can't those black suit girls do......
Kokoro: I know! Why don't we all wear make up and pretend to be zombies? It'll be a blast!
Misaki: Yeah, like I just said, I've had my fill of zombies for the day......
Kasumi: Yeah...... I've had enough to make me puke......
Rimi: But......That make up does look incredible. My curiosity is piqued......!
Kokoro: Then let's do it Rimi! O-i black suit girls~!
Misaki/Kasumi: Rimi.......Rimirin......

[Aya card 2☆: Taste of horror] [Main story: A zombies feelings]
[Idol agency]

Aya: Uwa......Oooohh......WaAaa......Guo-......
Chisato: Sorry Aya-chan but that wasn't......In the least bit scary
Aya: Eeh!? Wasn't it...... I personally thought I nailed the mood of it
Maya: How should I say this, I feel like you're just being yourself but not in a good way
Chisato: Yeah, just like Maya-chan said. I guess that was like Aya-chan's acting weird again......
Aya: Me acting weird...... Hey, I don't go around moaning like that
Chisato: But that's just how you sound when you're overcome with emotions?
Aya: You're such a jerk~! I know for a fact that I'm nothing like that~! Uwa...... But that sucks if it's not zombie-like
Chisato: Seriously!?...... This gig is just you playing yourself but you died and came back as a zombie, you have to get that into your head
Aya: That's easier said than done...... I've never turned into a zombie before so how am I suppose to know how a zombie feels~
Maya: Hnn...... We're musicians so how about we come up with a musical solution?
Chisato: I see, That might just work. Can you give it another shot Aya-chan?
Aya: Uoo-......Gururu......Uoo-......AAa-......
Chisato: That's no different to your normal voice. How about you try lowering the pitch more while picturing yourself as inhuman
Maya: It doesn't have to be full......Death metal voice, I think if you just try to open your throat like you've got something caught in while letting out a low pitched voice you'll sound close enough
Aya: A low pitched voice like I've got something caught in my throat......Ah, ah-......ah-......AAaahhh......
Maya: Ah...... That was more like Aya-chan caught a cold than a zombie......
Aya: Uwu...... I didn't know that playing a zombie would be so hard......
Chisato: You did watch the movie they gave you right? That should have been more than enough reference material
Aya: Yeah, about that......
Chisato: Don't...... Tell me you haven't watched it yet?
Aya: I totally did, right up until the zombies popped out.......
Chisato: So you didn't even watch the most important part.......
Aya: But that's cause~! I've always hated horror and if I'm watching one at home I'll quickly change the channel when a scary scene comes on
Aya: And if I can't do that I'll cover my eyes and ears and tough it out until the scene is over......
Maya: I see, so Aya-san inability to draw out her inner zombie stems from her lack of exposure to them
Chisato: I'm not exaggerating when I say that this whole gig is riding on Aya-chan's acting skills
Chisato: You wouldn't even be able to scare a little kid like that?
Aya: I guess since it's for work I better watch the movie and study it carefully......
Aya: But I'm sure I would be too scared to stomach watching it alone. So......
Chisato: ......For Christ's sake. So you're saying that you'll be able to watch the movie if you're not alone?
Aya: Yeah! I think I'll be able to give it a shot if I watch it with you girls
Chisato: You're such a pain...... Let's go ask the staff to lend us a TV and room
Maya: And we might as well call Hina-san and Eve-san?
Aya: Great idea! And let's get some snacks and drinks and have a film festival!
Chisato: We're on the clock. take it seriously
Aya: Of course I will! And I'll become a real zombie in order to make the prank a success! Check this out!
Aya: UwaAAAAA!
Maya: Ah-......
Chisato: This isn't going to end well......

[Kasumi 3☆: Living dead][Main story: Unintentionally behind the scenes]

[Shopping mall: Cinema]

Kokoro: That was a great movie wasn't it! I didn't know zombie movies could be that much fun, it exceeded all of my expectations!
Kasumi: Really!? I thought it was a lot more traumatising than I expected, I was terrified......But I was relatively fine watching them at Rimirin's house
Kokoro: The screen and sound of the cinema give it more impact doesn't it
Kasumi: I guess so. I covered my face as a reflex during the zombie face jump scare~!
Kokoro: That was the best part! Watching today's movie has gotten me hooked on zombies!
Kokoro: I saw that they're holding a zombie movie exhibition over there! Let's go check it out when Misaki and Rimi get back!
Kasumi: They're even doing that as well. Anyway, I'm looking after the girls belongings so you can go by yourself
Kasumi: I'll head over there with the others when they get back!
Kokoro: You sure? Well then, I'll go on ahead!
Kasumi: Kokoron sure loved that movie didn't she...... I did think the movie itself was interesting as well but......
Kasumi: The zombies were way too realistic...... Even though I know they're fictional they still terrifying me..... I might have to use the plastic sheets again tonight......
Kasumi: Eh......What's that noise......? It's different from the chime they use to tell you the movie is starting.....
Announcer: To all customers. A state of emergency has been declared in the vicinity of the cinema. Please evacuate the building in a safe and orderly fashion
Kasumi: A state of emergency!? What the heck is a a state of emergency!? Like the place is on fire or something......?
Kasumi: Everyone else is panicking so......Maybe I should get out of here as well......
Kasumi: Yeah but, Rimirin and Misaki aren't back yet...... And Kokoron has just left to visit the zombie exhibition......
Staff: Please leave in a calm and orderly manner!
Kasumi: I guess I should just do what they say......?

[Shopping mall]

Kasumi: I've done what they said and escaped to the entrance but...... I don't see the other 3 anywhere......
Kasumi: Maybe they're still inside looking for me since I have all of their belongings......
Kasumi: Wasn't there a scene just like this in the movie...... Going back inside for someone important even though they've already evacuated to a safe place......
Kasumi: And then they thrown into another perilous situation......What should I do......But I can still make it......
Kasumi: ......Yeah! I can't just ditch them!

[Shopping mall: Cinema]

Kasumi: *Pant* *pant*...... I somehow made it back here but...... I don't see the girls anywhere......
Kasumi: This place was crowded with people a little while ago...... It's kinda creepy now that it's empty.....
Misaki: Over here Rimi!
Rimi: How...... And why is all this happening......!?
Kasumi: I've finally found them! But what are they doing? Why are they in such a rush......? And they're heading to the food court even though it's not the way out......
Kasumi: It's kinda like they're running away from something...... Eh, no way......
Aya: GYAAAAA!
Kasumi: Isn't that......Aya-senpai? No way, she's just like a zombie from the movie......
Kasumi: Not just Aya-senpai...... There are zombies everywhere...... So this is what the state of emergency was!?
Kasumi: All the zombies are heading to the food court...... They're going after Rimirin and Misaki-chan!? I have to do something or they'll......
Kasumi: Should I run to the exit and call for help? ...... No, I'd never make it in time! I'll phone someone for help......
Kasumi: And then..... After that...... Uwuu...... What should I do!? What should I do!?
???: What are you doing over there?
Kasumi: Hyii!? I've been found!? Don't eat me!?
Chisato: Calm down Kasumi-chan. It's me
Kasumi: Huh......? Chisato-senpai?

[10 minutes later]

Kasumi: Eeeeh!? Filming a zombie prank!?
Chisato: Yeah, That's why I tried to warn you to leave as soon as possible......Sorry for not being able to give you a clear explanation
Kasumi: So that means Rimirin and Misaki aren't in any danger! And Aya-senpai hasn't become a flesh eating zombie or anything has she!?
Chisato: It's alright. They plan to reveal the prank as soon as they've caught up with them
Kasumi: That's a relief...... Ahaha, I'm paralysed from relief ......
Chisato: The filming has just started so you won't be able to go back outside just yet, sorry but can you watch over them from the sidelines?
Kasumi: Yeah, I got it. I don't think I can even move so that'll make things easier.......
Kasumi: Rimirin, Misaki-chan......I can't help you girls out in any way but....... Do whatever it takes to survive!

[Misaki 4☆: Take my hand][Main story: What I like]

[Ushigome residence: Rimi's room]

Misaki: Phew...... So have we finished the whole series now?
Rimi: Yeah, that's all! I think you should be caught up on everything you ought to know before watching the latest movie!
Kokoro: This is the first time I've watched that many movies in one day! And I now know how to enjoy horror movies, I had such a great day!
Rimi: Really? I'm glad you've learned how great horror movies are!
Kasumi: I was terrified the whole time but...... I'm glad the main character made it home safely! That was a relief
Rimi: I know right~ there are lots that have bad endings but nothing beats a real survival story
Misaki: We started watching during the day and it's already pitch black outside......And yet you kept up the hype the whole time, you really must love your horror movies Rimi
Rimi: Ah, sorry! So was it just me who was getting excited......
Rimi: You must be tired from watching all those movies...... I was so into it I didn't notice......
Misaki: No need to apologise. Well...... You did kinda pressure me into watching them in the first place......
Misaki: Half way through I found myself enjoying it as well. And there was a decent amount of emotional scenes
Kasumi: I know right! Like the climax in the last movie we watched is enough to make anyone cry!
Kokoro: They got caught up in loads of crazy situations didn't they, it was fascinating
Kokoro: Maybe Hello happy could try doing something with a horror theme next time?
Misaki: Nah, Hello happy's and horror's outlook of the world and mood must to be too far apart for that to work......
Misaki: Well, It's a relief that we're like that cause I'm having more than enough fun already
Misaki: My expectations for the next movie have just skyrocketed. I can't wait to see it
Rimi: That's a relief...... Thanks. And I get to talk about my beloved horror all thanks to you Misaki-chan
Misaki: Huh, me? I didn't do anything......
Rimi: So do you have anything you love Misaki-chan?
Misaki: What's with the third degree.....Why do you want to know?
Rimi: Since you hung out with me and my beloved horror I wanted to enjoy your favorite thing with you next time
Misaki: You don't need to worry about that. I enjoyed myself
Rimi: But I want to do it. I guess that's a no then?
Misaki: Nah, it's not a no but....... My favorite thing...... My favorite thing......?
Rimi: Anything is fine! Like hobbies, food, just say anything that pops into you head
Misaki: That's a tough one...... Hhnn......
Misaki: I do like family restaurants but there's no point making a special trip there, and I don't know enough facts or have enough passion about them hold a conversation
Misaki: Thinking about it, I probably don't have anything I'm passionate about like you and the other girls
Kokoro: What are you on about? Don't you have a wonderful hobby?
Rimi: Does she?
Kokoro: Yeah! Misaki is amazing at wool felting! She makes cute little animals and finger puppets. I brought one with me so I can show you!
Misaki: Eh, why the heck did you bring that!?
Kokoro: See look! Isn't this a really adorable bear!
Kasumi: Woah, it is! So adorable! And you made this yourself Misaki-chan!?
Misaki: Ah, well......Yeah, more or less......
Rimi: Amazing! You have some nimble fingers don't you Misaki-chan!
Misaki: I just got used to it from making so many of them, that's all
Rimi: Even so I still think it's amazing! This bear is super adorable, It's just like you Misaki-chan!
Misaki: No way, It's nothing like that. At the very least I don't off that kind of girly image......
Rimi: You think? I don't think it's in least bit unexpected. Because it's lovingly made
Rimi: Like the bear's ears and facial expression are both highly detailed and expertly crafted aren't they?
Rimi: Those parts reflect how methodical you are
Rimi: The seams stitches are flawless, It's a gentle pastel color and the little bear looks nice and soft
Rimi: It's because you pay attention to the finest details that makes them look like they're made with love
Misaki: You can stop now! I get it! There's no need to keep going on and on....... I'm not used to all this!
Kokoro: I get totally get what Rimi is saying. I love this bear so much that I carry it everywhere with me
Misaki: ..............
Kasumi: So felt dolls~ they look kinda hard to make don't they
Misaki: Not really. They're pretty simple to make and once you get used to it you'll be able to make them in your sleep. Like with musical instruments and how you can't play a difficult piece of music right away can you?
Kasumi: I see! That is true!
Rimi: I'm kinda curious about them now. Can you show me how you make them some time?
Misaki: If you don't mind the way I make them......Then I'll make something for you
Rimi: Really!? Thanks! I'll look forward to it!
Misaki: (I got roped into making a promise...... Well whatever)
Misaki: (Wonder what Rimi would love me to make for her...... Rimi loves her horror...... but that's probably way too difficult......)
Misaki: (So all that leaves is......Choco cornets? That shouldn't be too difficult to make but......)
Misaki: (I'll think it over on the way home)

[Rimi 4☆: What it means to protect someone][Main story: Bonded through horror]

[Hanasakigawa girls school: Class 2-B]

Misaki: Hmm, where's Rimi..... Ah there she is. O-i, RImi-
Rimi: What is it Misaki-chan?
Misaki: I've finished reading that manga you lent me so I thought I would return it
Rimi: So you read it! How was it?
Misaki: Yeah, It was pretty interesting. Not just the scary parts the human drama was depicted pretty well
Misaki: And the twist in the second half was pretty gut-wrenching. I may or may not have shed a tear
Rimi: I know right? Even though it's a horror it's a tearjerker if you put yourself in the main characters shoes...... More like you cry cause it's horrific......!
Misaki: Yeah, since it's a horror it has all that kind of build up. And yet it's still very touching, that's why it's so deep
Rimi: If you loved that then the author has a bunch of other manga and they're all really great~......
Saaya:  Rimi-rin, let's go to lunch...... Ah sorry, were you in the middle of chatting with Misaki?
Misaki: We're all wrapped up here so it's fine. Well then, I'll take my leave......
Rimi: Hey, I know! How about you come eat lunch with us?
Misaki: I don't mind but...... That's more of a Popipa thing isn't it? You sure?
Rimi: It's totally fine! You're our friend and I still have loads more horror stuff to talk to you about! You're cool with that aren't you Saaya-chan!
Saaya: Of course! We'll be waiting in the courtyard so go grab your lunchbox

[Hanasakigawa girls school: Courtyard]

Kokoro: So are you prepped and ready to go? Let's all dig in! Thanks for the food!
Misaki: ......And why exactly is Kokoro taking the lead?
Saaya:  She's in the same class as us so we invited her along cause you'd be here as well. Shouldn't we have?
Misaki: Nah, it's totally fine......
Kasumi: Woah!? Kokoron's lunchbox looks tasty! Hey, wanna trade this tamagoyaki and that meat......?
Tae: Meat......! Then, I'll trade my hamburger...... Wait no, my cherry tomato and
Arisa: That's the most unethical trade to date...... And it's unusually louder today
Misaki: Sorry for being so annoying......I guess we're in the way?
Arisa: No, that's not what I meant. It's just unusual that's all, and it's not like we were not friends
Kasumi: Yeah! The more the merrier! You're always welcome to join us!
Saaya:  That's how we roll so don't worry about it
Misaki: Sure, I'll take you up on that offer

[30 minutes later]

Kasumi: You totally have to do a cool pose don't you! Like ta-dah! while jamming on your guitar
Kokoro: If you want a flashy pose then why don't you try flying through the air! I'm sure the audience will be left speechless when they see you whizzing over their heads!
Kasumi: Great idea! Like whizzing around the stadium like a shooting star! Sounds sparkly!
Arisa: Those two are at it again with the crazy talk......
Rimi: So how did the test go Misaki-chan?
Arisa: Same as always, not great but not bad. I managed to keep my results just high enough to keep both my teacher and parents off my back
Rimi: Did you now...... I'm kinda fuzzy with our math at the moment...... Want to come study with me?
Misaki: Sure but...... I won't be able to teach you anything with the grades I get? I can only calculate stuff because I used to use an abacus
Rimi: Really, you use an abacus! Click clacking them is pretty cool isn't it
Misaki: They're not that cool. Aren't abacuses pretty lame?
Rimi: Not at all. Cause I don't even know how you're suppose to use one
Misaki: Well, I guess you wouldn't know how without an explanation. And it's not like they have numbers written on them. You can have a look at mine if you're interested
Rimi: Eh, you brought it with you!? I wanna see it!
Arisa: ......Hey, have you two always this close?
Rimi: We've been friends since way back but...... I guess we've gotten a lot closer thanks to horror
Misaki: We shared an unforgettable experience together didn't we......
Arisa: Are you talking about the time you got pranked?
Rimi: Yeah that! We were both....... Desperately trying everything possible to survive weren't we......!
Misaki: Thinking back on it there was so many times where I could have pointed out how unbelievable the situation was but.......There was so much going on I couldn't think straight......
Arisa: From what I heard you were like real movie heroes
Arisa: So you became friends thanks to horror...... I guess you never what you'll hit it off over
Rimi: So do you want to enjoy horror with us as well Arisa-chan? Cause even a shy person like myself managed to become friends with Misaki-chan
Rimi: If you find a piece of work you love you'll be able to talk passionately about it with others who share the same interest, It'll be a great way to improve your social skills!
Arisa: Rimi.......You really love to gush at people about your favorite thing don't you..... I don't even like horror
Rimi: Start by giving one a look! This popular ghost horror will be getting a movie adaptation soon! I have the original so I'll lend it to you next time!
Arisa: Yeah, like I just said...... I don't even like horror......
Misaki: Rimi, don't go backing her into a corner or you'll face a wrath more terrifying than any horror novel
Rimi: Ah......Sorry......
Misaki: You really love your horror don't you Rimi. In a way it's amazing how you can talk about them non stop
Rimi: Ehehe...... Ah. Misaki-chan, what are your plans for the next movie? Want to come watch it with me?
Misaki: Eh? Sure...... I guess so. As long as there's no pranks involved
