Why am I here? Just why am I here?
Sakura repeated those questions over and over as she looked at a poster within her trembling hands. Part of her worry is less about being in a venue for tonight so unexpectedly, but rather, the venue's genre and music theme revolves around rock or metal music. A genre decidedly unfitting for an idol geared around pop music.
The fault of all these lies in Kotaro who, for reasons only known by himself, has chosen tonight's venue to be Geils Live House. Earlier, he, Sakura, Kakyoin and six other zombie girls arrive outside the venue occupied by heavy metal fans all eagerly waiting to go inside and listen to the attending bands playing their favored music genre. The two conscious zombies only need to look once at the crowd and sense their indifference over why seven cute girls are attending the venue when the theme is about heavy metal. This didn't inspire much confidence for Sakura, and Kakyoin can relate despite not being instructed to get on stage.
Currently, the group are backstage, waiting for the girls' turn. Muffled sounds of a rock band performing their song in the main stage can be heard through the walls due to how loud they're playing. They may even hear the audience cheering loudly if one strains their ears.
"T-This poster… This isn't idol-like at all…!" Sakura succinctly remarked, questioning next what Kotaro is thinking on choosing this venue to be the first ever performance and debut of the zombie idols, given the name Death Musume (Name Pending). Yes, those two words are included because it's a placeholder.
Speaking of Kotaro, he is currently facing the brunt of a one-sided argument from Kakyoin over his decisions tonight.
"Look, I'm telling you! This is crazy!" Kakyoin insisted. "Their 'first performance' is guaranteed to be a disaster!"
"I assure you, Cherry Boy," Kotaro remains unmoved, calling him by his nickname as a way of concealing his identity. "I have everything under control here. I know what I am doing is seen as absolutely crazy in your own view, but please know that I have a specific ｢reason｣ for choosing the girls' first ever performance here."
"If you have everything under control here, then look at the other girls!" He pointed to the roaming zombies in disguise, all of whom are wearing their "stage performance" outfit including Sakura which are actually just casual clothes chosen at a last minute. "Related to my first point, them being unawakened spells disaster for their upcoming performance, don't you think!?"
"Hey! Hey! Hey! No, no, no!"
The three turn to Tae chewing an earpiece, believing it to be food. A staff member stops her from chewing it more as he says, "You can't go gnawing on that! It costs lots of money!" Once he gets it off of her, the staff leaves the room to clean the saliva off. Tae blankly stares at him, somewhat disappointed, before she continues her mindless prowling.
"See my point there?" Kakyoin said with arms crossed.
"I agree! Tae-chan's gonna bite someone in that state!" Sakura concurred, standing up to look at Kotaro with pleading eyes, silently begging him to change his mind to stop this madness.
"…"
"…"
"…So! What do you think of the special makeup skills I learned in Hollywood? Nobody noticed that there are zombies here~" Kotaro stated proudly with a smile, purposely switching the urgent topic to the makeup put on Sakura, Kakyoin and the zombie girls. The two didn't like he dodge the main concern.
"That's not the real issue here!"
Turning to look at her reflection in irritation, her pouting face softens as she, admittedly, liked Kotaro's work putting on their disguise. "Although, it's impressive."
"Yeah, I agree. You must have done some trial and error until you perfected it, to the point we look like a living human." Kakyoin admitted too, leaning to the mirror to see his reflection.
In order to cover their zombie appearances, Kotaro put tons of makeup on all of them, and expertly so because Sakura and the girls look so pretty and, Kakyon's case, handsome and indistinguishable from before they died. This is something the two conscious zombies are amazed of and would have complimented Kotaro if it weren't for the even more ridiculous situation he put Sakura and the mindless girls in.
"I hope you're not bothered that a guy like you has to use makeup. Obviously can't let everyone see you're a zombie, right?" Kotaro replied.
"I do not mind at all if it means keeping our identities secret." He shrugged, looking at his hands and back to his face shown in the mirror. Hmm, I wonder if I should add something to my face? Maybe lipstick? Would I look good with lipstick on, I wonder?
At this moment, the lead singer of the band screamed through a megaphone, riling up the cheering audience more. The scream is loud enough it can be heard beyond the stage through the walls, reaching the backstage. Tae continues prowling until she hears the scream and accompanying rock music. She stops for a moment to listen while groaning…
…before she started bobbing her head aggressively.
Surprised over her sudden act, Sakura stammers in her speech to convey her bewilderment, "W-W-What!? What, what, what is this!? What's going on?!"
As she and Kakyoin stare at the black-haired zombie headbanging in shock, Yugiri and Ai next imitate Tae, freaking out the two more. "W-What the hell?" Kakyoin spluttered out.
Junko, Lily and Saki follow suit, and therefore create a group of headbanging zombies. Naturally, the two couldn't be more at a loss.
"No, no, no!" Acting in panic, Sakura borrowed six dried squids from Kotaro's breast pocket (who remains impassive) and stuffs it in their mouths to make them stop. While Sakura struggles to calm Tae down when she puts up little resistance, Kakyoin asks what just became of them.
"Let's just say a little ｢stimulation｣ is needed to make them conscious. That is exactly what I did when you two weren't woken up then," answered Kotaro. "This is also the reason why I choose this specific venue in order to wake the girls up from their unconscious states."
…I better not ask what I did while I was still unawakened. He reminded, feeling a bit undignified when imagining what his actions were like before he "woke" up. A thought came to him when remembering the zombie guys, and his up-and-coming groupmates, that were left in the mansion. "Wait, if you want the girls to wake up, what about Avdol and the other Stand Users back in the mansion? They need to be… stimulated, you know?"
Smiling or possibly smirking, he answers, "Oh trust me, Cherry Boy. I already thought ahead and employed the deed before we left for the venue."
Back in the mansion, Romero is keeping watch as the undead Stand Users swing their heads and upper bodies up and down, like a diehard heavy metal fan, in response to the rock music heard from a boombox. The dog barks approvingly, continuing watching the "stimulating experience" of the seven.
"If you don't have any more questions, then I would like to announce that Sakura and the girls got this on the bag!" Kotaro declared confidently, not minding or probably dense over the ridiculous situation the two are in, no thanks to him.
"No I don't! That should be obvious!" Sakura quickly remarks after she manages to calm Tae down, leaving her happily chewing a dried squid to face Kotaro nervously.
"You must not have common sense if you think these six zombies 'got this in the bag' like you said," Kakyoin shakes his head, more or less agreeing with Sakura and pretty much siding with her the entire time. "Though as much as I like to make you stop this madness from delving further, I guess it's… too late for that, huh?" He let out exasperatedly, having a feeling they're well past the point of no return.
"…I don't get it. What are you two so worried about?" Kotaro sincerely asked. Kakyoin has to calm himself down before he puts his fist to Kotaro's face over his indifference as he feels his patience almost at its limit.
"What am I- How can I do anything but worry!?" Sakura shared his reaction, having enough of his apparent denseness as she walked up to him. "Me and Kakyoin here are the only ones that are awake and it's really obvious the others are acting as zombies! And isn't a performance the kind of thing you gotta do a bunch of practice for?! What exactly are you expecting me to do?!"
Two hands laid on her shoulders stop Sakura from getting more riled up. "…Just trust your instincts." Kotaro said simply, confidence still present on him.
"…Tae-chan might bite somebody." She recalled her earlier statement.
"A little biting never hurt anybody!" He responded with a goofy smile.
"Are you stupid?" Kakyoin interjected annoyingly.
"LISTEN UP!"
The two flinched when he shouted. For some reason, they are geared up to listen to what he had to say for some reason. "Nobody in that crowd is expecting a damn thing from you all. That goes for me and Kakyoin, too. Not even a little bit."
"Then-"
"…And that's why!" Sakura swallows what she's about to say when Kotaro has something more to say to her. "That's why you have to blow their expectations away! You will turn Saga… no. You will turn the entire ｢world｣ on its head!"
"…We will?" Sakura softly muttered.
A staff member enters briefly to tell them that they're on before leaving to prepare. "Death Musume (Name Pending), you're up!"
"Have some faith. You can do this." Kotaro finished with a reassuring smile, displaying confidence not only to Sakura, but to the unconscious zombie girls. Kakyoin stared at him with mouth agape, looking astonished over his absolute confidence in his plan to save Saga through reviving the girls as zombies and making them idols.
His speech just now… Even in the face of ludicrous and insurmountable odds, Kotaro is confident in his plan to save Saga. Even though Sakura and the girls are unexpectedly thrust in their first ever performance as an idol group without practice, Kotaro holds absolute faith in them to succeed as part of his project. Kakyoin thought, feeling somewhat roused up by the man in shades' resolve. While having to team up with other undead Stand Users to fight against a common enemy is manageable, him reviving zombie girls to form an idol group may sound insane but, combined with his actions, desires and his speech, I can't help… but feel…
"Kotaro-san…" Sakura seems to share Kakyoin's thoughts, seemingly roused up by Kotaro's daring speech…
…
…
"…I can't do it." But she reaffirmed her stance with narrowed eyes staring into his own covered by sunglasses.
…not convinced. At all. Even Kakyoin is doubtful. Silence reigns for a few seconds, letting Sakura's words sink into Kotaro's head…
…
…
…
"OKAAAAY! IT'S A GOOOO! GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GOOOOOOO!" He clapped his hands with utmost conviction, willing to see Death Musume (Name Pending) get on stage.
On the stage, Death Musume (Name Pending), consisting of Sakura as Number One, Saki as Number Two, Ai as Number Three, Junko as Number Four, Yugiri as Number Five, Lily as Number Six and lastly, Tae as Number Zero, stood, or prowled around in the case of six, in front of the indifferent metal music-obsessed audience, who are all wondering why seven girls are doing here when heavy metal music is the theme here. They're so indifferent that they paid no heed to the six's odd movements. To them, they care more about heavy metal music, not seven cute girls in casual attire and likely performing with pop music typical for the idol genre.
Feeling her nerves whacked to its limit, Sakura tries to maintain her composure as she announces, "U-Um, well, good evening… W-W-W-We are D-Death Musume!"
"Just spit it out girlie! You better not make fun of death metal!" The chubby man shouted annoyingly.
"And what are idols doing here anyway?" His lanky friend asked in a noticeable accent, questioning their presence.
"R-Right! Y-You can all call me N-Number One!" She introduced themselves, using their code names as per Kotaro's request.
"I don't care! Just start already!"
"It's just gonna be crap, anyway!"
The crowd starts murmuring and booing "I-I'm sorry!" They're so mad! What do I do? What do I do?! She thought in panic. Kakyoin, please…! Help me!
Behind the stage wing and curtains, Kakyoin and Kotaro are watching the anxious Sakura and the girls minding their business. The former has a sympathetic look directed at her, and though he can't see much of the audience, he can tell from the indignant murmurs that they're not interested in the soon-to-be idol girls at all.
"I told you this is gonna be a disaster," Kakyoin told Kotaro, sounding exasperated and like he's begging him even if it's pointless at this stage. "Are you really sure you know what you're doing?"
"I am. Stop worrying anymore, Cherry Boy," Kotaro remained rooted in his decision. "I only need to wait for the ｢cue｣…"
"…The cue?" He parroted. This is the first time he's watching an idol group performance, or what can be constituted as a 'performance', but he believes it's gonna involve singing and dancing. That's how idol shows typically go based on what he heard or watched Junko sing a few times when he was young so he has to admit, he's wondering where this will lead, even if it'll surely lead into disaster.
Concurrently, as Sakura dreads the worse, she notices Tae staring at the audience, specifically the lanky and chubby duo. She began groaning again…
before she jumped off the stage, toward the duo with a roar.
"UAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"
I knew it! A surprised expression is present on her face as Sakura watches Tae land on a chubby guy, who is astonished she dared to perform a stage dive when their performance hasn't even started yet. As Tae shouts ferociously, seemingly with intent of biting him, Sakura gets off stage and pulls Tae to prevent the situation from escalating further.
"Tae-chan! C-Cut it out!"
As she pulls Tae back to the stage while the audience looks at the long-haired woman in shock, Sakura feels utterly defeated, feeling pessimistic that things are going to be bad. I just knew it! She thought in despair.
While the two remarks on Tae's brutal move, Kakyoin puts his hand on his face, having guessed what Tae is gonna do after seeing she's eyeing at the audience. I knew it… He thought in discontentment.
As the two rightfully feared this performance would end in absolute failure, Saki stopped her roaming when she kicked a megaphone lying on the floor. The sound it makes seems to have the audience's attention. All the while, Sakura is dismayed at such a huge mess she's in.
"Eh?" Then Sakura notices the audience's eyes are trained on the group. And that is when Kotaro sees the "cue"…
"MUSIC, COME ONNNN!"
BGM: Youkoso Saga e
The speakers began playing a heavy metal piece of music, surprising the audience, Sakura and Kakyoin, the latter two almost getting deafened by how loud it was.
W-W-What…? What is this…?! What's going on!? Sakura thought in panic, her ears ravaged by strumming guitars and pounding drums.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUGH!"
Saki suddenly yelled through the megaphone, obscuring Sakura's startled panicked scream. If that's enough surprise for one night, the once indifferent audience started cheering, if only because the music being played fits their preferred genre and theme.
After recovering from getting deaf, Kakyoin has a look of bewilderment or surprise on his face as he listens to the instrumental music. "W-What…? What's going on here? This… music…" Eyeing Saki as she continues screaming, Kakyoin wonders how Kotaro had prepared this kind of music to be used for the concert. He must have known the venue was gonna be filled with metal fans so he must prepare it in advance. As for how he got it if he hasn't borrowed it from other bands… "Tatsumi-san, did you… compose this music?" He asks the manager.
"…Being a manager of an idol group, it's appropriate to have one composer for the girls to sing," Kotaro explained, a smug smile evident on his face. "If there's no composer, obviously you have no music."
"I see… I'm surprised you composed this music." Kakyoin seemed impressed by Kotaro's work. "Well, the genre does not fit an idol group but…" He turned back to see how the girls were doing… only to be flabbergasted again when the girls sans Sakura and Saki start headbanging aggressively.
"W-What in blazes?!" He exclaimed over the sight.
Jammed between the cheering audience, headbanging zombies, loud rock music and Saki still screaming through the megaphone, Sakura can feel her sanity draining so fast. It doesn't matter how hard she tries to control herself, the overall sheer insanity is getting to her. Her first performance, taking place in Geils Live House filled with heavy metal fans and backed up by the same genre for her debut performance, and the unawakened zombies having no care for the world as they bob their heads vigorously, is really overwhelming her. So much so that she's facing down as she's at her limit, more than ready to let it all out to the world…
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGHHH!"
Finally, Sakura screams her lungs out, surprising Kakyoin once more due to the ferocity and unexpectedness of it all. "S-Sakura!?"
Back to the audience, the metalhead duo notice something about the girls, including Sakura, as they headbang alongside screaming Saki. "What… What is this? What are they doing…?" The chubby fan muttered to his friend.
Looking closely, the two see that their headbanging looks so over-the-top, which isn't possible unless you really want to strain your neck and spine just to achieve it. Not that they cared though, as they continue to enjoy the sheer hardcore concert of the supposed cute idols put out with much vigor.
…Huh? This feeling… Where have I…?
Sakura realized something as she let her body instinctively respond to the music. Her vision getting bathed with colorful stage lights shining down on the girls, a flash of memory appeared in her head depicting her among the audience cheering for an idol group up on the stage, shined by colorful stage lights too.
Just like how it appeared quickly, it disappeared before she can think about it, not that it matters as she's still performing, or in this case, screaming her lungs out, riling the audience to their limit including the lanky and chubby duo as Death Musume (Name Pending) continues performing aggressively.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!"
Number One last dives to the audience on her back as the climax is reached, the thrill of performance overriding her sense of reason.
"Sakura…" Kakyoin muttered her name, thinking this is one night he would not forget…
The chorus of sweet and alluring tweets ring in the cool morning air as a pair of redheads sit on a bench in the mansion's terrace. The events of last night have passed by in a blink of an eye, and before the two knew it, it's morning. The two try passing the time by reminiscing about last night's events, specifically the Death Musume (Name Pending)'s first on-stage "performance".
While Romero sat down on the floor near three singing birds below them, Sakura had a downcast expression on her, feeling under the weather despite the performance last night not ending in a disaster surprisingly. Kakyoin, with arms crossed, looks up at the sky, absent-mindedly admiring the nice weather this morning. Compared to Sakura, he isn't in as low spirits as her.
"I knew this wouldn't work…" He heard Sakura say, her sights angled low to match her expression. Whether she wants to say it quietly or not, she doesn't seem to care. "There's no way… There's no way I can be an idol singer. Last night's events prove that."
Not liking seeing her so dispirited, Kakyoin turns to her and says something to encourage her. "Hey, look. I know there's a slight chance your first ever concert might end up in disaster, or with six of the girls going berserk to ravage the crowded audience, but surprisingly… It almost went off without a hitch. Just almost, and a bit crazy too. And though you may not like hearing it from me, you got quite a killer scream."
He didn't notice her form shaking as she continued looking down, literally and figuratively, before he continued. "Sure the venue and music genre didn't fit what I expect an idol like you to sing, but considering you became so eager and went with the flow when the 'performance' kicked into high gear, perhaps you have what it takes to be an idol given enough practice. So cheer up, Sakura. It's not like you've committed the most heinous crime and are sentenced to life imprisonment or execution."
When it seems like Sakura is about to explode in a flurry of emotions, possibly in a fit of anger and frustration… She sighs deeply. She didn't have it in her to react badly to Kakyoin cheering her up, especially when the "performance" didn't actually go horribly. For the most part.
When the zombie girls are about to go down the stage and ravage the audience after the ear-popping performance, Kakyoin steps in and ties them up quickly using Hierophant Green before they have the chance. He, Sakura and Kotaro (after much forcing and coercing) would pull them to the backstage, and then outside into their van before leaving at last.
"Yeah. Guess you're right," Sakura earnestly agreed, before looking up to the sky. "It's actually not bad. It had gone crazy like you said, but fortunately nothing too bad happened. In fact, it might be a blessing in disguise for me, because when I screamed all my stress out, to the point my lungs were burning, I… had a flash of memory."
"You did?" He asked with widened eyes.
She nods. "Yes. It's very brief but… I see myself cheering for a five-member idol group performing on the stage alongside the audience, shined by lights and all."
"Anything else?"
"…No. That's it." She replied. Thinking back to that brief memory, Sakura wonders how important it is and why it triggered during last night's concert.
"…Idols, huh? Maybe you must have admired them if you're cheering them on." Kakyoin suggested.
"Hmm, now that you said it… I feel happy and… elated. Least that's what I thought my feelings were when remembering it." Sakura pondered, tapping her chin.
"Then that means you have a thing for pop idols, even wanting to become one. It's only my speculation, but perhaps the reason Tatsumi-san wants you to be an idol is because of that: You have a desire to sing and dance your heart out to the audience."
"…That could be true. But who knows? I still can't remember everything." She reminded him, letting out a sigh again.
"But it's a start. It might take a long time for you to recover your memories but I'm sure you will eventually remember 「who you are」," Kakyoin assured further, putting a hand on her shoulder to comfort her more while smiling. "And remember this Sakura. You have me 「by your side」." He may have known her only for a day at most but after learning what Kotaro wants for both of them, having to settle with his new lease on life as a Stand-using zombie bodyguard for a fledgling zombie idol group and contending with Sakura's amnesia, Kakyoin has no obligation to come back home or meet with either Jotaro or Polnareff as he chooses to accept his new undead life. Also, as much as it pains him, he does not want anyone he knows to see him somehow alive as a zombie, nearly thirty years after his death.
Sakura feels the same way as him but feels more troubled and conflicted than him regarding being thrust into the spotlight not long after she is woken up, having to accept she is now a zombie and has amnesia. As such, she appreciates any form of encouragement even if the one who empathizes with her problems is someone she barely knew for one day. Returning his smile, Sakura nods happily and says, "I'm glad to hear you say that. Thank you, Kakyoin."
"It's my pleasure." Kakyoin nodded, glad he was successful in lifting her spirits up.
Before they can enjoy the peaceful morning and nice morning weather more (unaware of feathers lying on the floor, on the same spot the birds that were with Romero were standing), screams, shouts and panicked, angry words are heard accompanied by crashing objects coming from the room near them. Kakyoin and Sakura rush back inside to see what the ruckus is. Stepping inside the living room, they see Tae standing in the center, staring blankly on something.
"Tae-chan?" Sakura calls out to her in confusion.
"HEEELP! ! ! !"
!?
BGM: Good Morning Saga (Zombie Land Saga Original Soundtrack)
Hearing a coherent human voice not their own, they follow Tae's line of sight and either gasped or flinched in shock upon seeing Ai huddling up near the fireplace, Junko hugging the wall with her back, and Lily doing the same next to a door, all with fearful expressions. Aside from them, there's Avdol standing near Ai, seemingly ready to summon his Stand evidenced by his hand gesture and battle stance, Johnny kneeling near Lily and curiously having one finger aimed at Tae with a ferocious look like he's holding a gun, and Narancia glared hard at Tae while swinging a switchblade around to prevent her from going after Junko.
"W-What is this…?" Ai questioned.
"Somebody, please, do something!" Junko pleaded, gulping in fear.
"I-I'm s-s-scared!" Lily started as her outside heart beat rapidly.
"That woman… What is wrong with her?" Avdol inquired calmly.
"You better stay back unless you want to get shot!" Johnny warned.
"What he said! I'm not one for a rude awakening, puttana!" Narancia exclaimed.
The fact that they're speaking and acting normally clues Sakura and Kakyoin to one conclusion: they've been awakened, all thanks to the stimulation last night. Another round of groans are heard coming from their right, and they turn to see Saki, Yugiri, Bucciarati, Gyro and Mamezuku waking up due to the noise.
"What is going on…? What is all this commotion?" Yugiri asked.
"Maaaaaan, that was a goooood nap." Saki lets out a big yawn while stretching her arms.
"Agreed. I feel refreshed, like I have worn brand-new clothes after a bath." Gyro nonchalantly concurred.
"Something seems… off." Bucciarati noted while rubbing his eyes.
"Looks like it. I don't think I'm in a villa I always go to when winter comes." Mamezuku pointed out his observation of the room unfamiliar to him.
At this moment, Mamezuku notices Sakura and Kakyoin standing in the doorway, followed by Bucciarati, Gyro, Saki, Yugiri, Ai, Avdol, Junko, Johnny, Lily and Narancia. All of them have questioning looks as they stare at the two with wary and inquisitive eyes.
Noticing their sickly appearances, Avdol asks, "Kakyoin, what's wrong with your and that girl's eyes and skin?"
Perking up when hearing they are being asked, Sakura stutters for a response. "H-Huh? Uh, w-well…"
Before she can answer, Kakyoin puts his hand on her shoulder, letting her know he will be the one to speak. Walking a few steps forward so he is in the center and holding Tae by her arm, he says, "Avdol, everyone, please calm down and try not to panic on what I'm going to say. We are all in a mansion in Saga Prefecture which shall be our residence starting this day, operated by a man named Kotaro Tatsumi. If you're wondering why Sakura, Tae-san and I have green skin and red eyes, we're not the only ones here because, well…" He takes a deep breath before revealing to them, "Let me say that everyone in this very room have ｢died｣ at some point, but came back to life as ｢zombies｣."
Their reactions are expected when they hear his answer despite his plea that they do not panic. While Saki, Yugiri, Avdol, Gyro, Bucciarati, and Mamezuku looked shocked, but didn't express it in an overreacting manner, the same couldn't be said for Ai, Junko, Lily, Johnny and Narancia.
"W-WHAT!? Zombies?!" Ai shouted in disbelief.
"I…d-died…?" Junko stuttered.
"ARE YOU MESSING WITH ME RIGHT NOW?!" Narancia exclaimed, redirecting his incredulous glare to him.
"You're just joking with us, right?" Johnny concurred, reaiming his finger and glare at Kakyoin. "That's a far-fetched claim if I ever heard one."
"No, I think he's right," replied Lily, staring at her hand first before she looked at her heart beating out of her chest for some reason. "I have weird-colored skin and my heart is outside. Maybe… He's not lying."
Following her assertion, everyone begins calming down before any uproar erupted again (less so for Ai, Junko, Johnny, and Narancia) as they process what Kakyoin told them.
"This is… surprising." Avdol admitted, checking his discolored arms. Of all things he woke up to, it's certainly not learning that he and everyone are zombies. Turning to Kakyoin, a friend he never thought he would see again, he asks, "Can you tell us about this Kotaro Tatsumi, Kakyoin? Maybe he can shed more light on our situation."
"We will! But first, before we can continue, I just want to say…"
Sakura stopped Kakyoin from replying before she walked to the center of the room and took a deep breath…
Then releasing it all in one, loud big greeting to unofficially welcome her and Kakyoin's zombie mates.
"GOOOOOD MOOOOORNIIIIIIING EVERYBOOOOOOODYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"
Her greeting is so loud it can be heard outside the mansion's walls, almost obscuring the sound of a flying bird's cry.
And thus, that one greeting starts the bizarre adventures of Sakura, Kakyoin and their fellow zombie idol singers and Stand Users to save Saga Prefecture.
To be continued
