Resurrection Sunday - Prologue
Season: Spring
Location: Light Music Club Classroom
Yoohoo, guys. Working hard? I thought I'd pop in and say hi for once. ♪
( ... Hmm? Nobody's here? )
( Oh well. I was just looking to kill time since the girl I was supposed to meet cancelled. )
( Bad timing, I guess. Not that I really fit in with the rest of UNDEAD anyway. )
( For one, they're a bunch of goody two-shoes. )
( What to do now... Making a U-turn for home after I came all this way would feel like a huge waste of time, huh. )
( It's not like there's anything interesting to do there... it's just suffocating. )
( Nnnh. This sucks. Maybe I'll got slack off in the Marine Biology Club's club room. )
( Or either work on my surfboard on the roof or have some fun with Transfer Student-chan, chasing her around like I usually do, even if she's not into it. )
.......
... Gyaa?! Whoa, you scared me! Why are you just standing there, Sakuma-san?!
And for how long? You usually have this aggressively gloomy vibe, so it's wild I didn't notice you.
.......
Hellooo... ? Don't just ignore me. I mean, it’s not like I’m bothered since you're a guy, but your beauty is so striking that it’s a bit unsettling when you’re quiet.
... Nnh. It's you, Kaoru-kun.
Yep. Kaoru-kun speaking~. Why the long face... ?
The DDD live was super intense, huh? Is that why you look so worn out?
I'm feeling sore all over too, like I pushed myself too hard in the muscles department. I'm gonna have to lay off that sort of thing for a while.
Indeed... but I would think it wise for you to continue your work even during this break. That way, you can maintain your arm strength.
Our revolutionary victory at the DDD is set to change Yumenosaki from here-on out. We'll be keeping a nonchalant eye on the results in the meantime, only to step in when needed.
Not that there's much to worry about at current.
Staying on the sidelines, then. That works for me. I don't want to perform tons if I can help it.
Hard work and guts just aren't my thing. I prefer getting things done without breaking a sweat. ♪
Such was our agreement in the first place. Still, one must perspire a bit to regulate their body tempreature; otherwise, the fire inside will consume you.
You'll soak up the sun and turn to ash, much like a vampire.
What's up with the vampire bit? You made it up sometime last year, right?
Not that I care or anything, but won't this confuse your longtime fans?
Mgh... Now that you mention it. Perhaps I'm trying to make others dislike me. I suppose you could call this my, "I don't want to be popular" disease.
A what disease? Come on, don't say that. Get out there, make a name for yourself, and become a big star.
That way the girls will be all over me since we're in the same unit, and I won't even have to lift a finger. ♪
Why not achieve that yourself? The quickest path to success in life is through your own efforts, I believe.
That goes for you too, Sakuma-san. I don't know if you're feeling burnt out or whatever, but you've got to get it together.
We're both undead, but right now, you're acting more like a zombie than a vampire, Sakuma-san.
How rude, as if I'm rotting away as we speak.
... Still. Thank you, Kaoru-kun, for being so concerned on my behalf.
I guess? I'm just chatting to pass the time!
I don't see a reason to be nice to a guy. Every ounce of breath I exhale is for making sure every girl out there is happy, alright?
On the contrary. You're quite the kind child.
Which is exactly why, Kaoru-kun... I must apologize for depending on you and your kindness so often.
Uh, wait. What... ? Hey, could you not with the edging in closer to me like that? It's creepy!
Mhh. I understand why you'd find it distasteful, this vulgar and morbid act of mine. An immoral deed that would make any decent man scowl and turn away...
Kaoru-kun.
W-What? You're acting really strange today, Sakuma-san.
I'm aware. The thing is, Kaoru-kun, I'm feeling weak. So please, ... help me.
I need you listen to me as calmly as possible and without cringing away in disgust.
Kaoru-kun. I know this is sudden, but let me drink your blood.
......?
... Huh? Uh, no thanks.
Oh, come now. By all means, I implore you. You're the only one I can count on.
Waitwaitwait. I'm confused! Drink my blood? What for? This whole vampire thing is just a persona you're putting on, am I right? Right, Sakuma-san?!
......
Eh? Eh? Quit coming closer without saying anything! Hiihh! I'm actually like, seriously terrified right now... !
