There's likely only one chance to make a comeback from this.
So they were all okiagari...
I'm quitting as a nurse...
I want to see village wiped out.
Wednesday, November 2nd (Lucky Morning)
Wasn't Hayami-san from the funeral home supposed to take care of the dead?
They're out of room, so we're bringing the extra ones up to the mountain.
Must be tough.
Nah, we have five sheds. And they're all dead, they aren't going anywhere. I just check up on them from time to time.
If they rise, I haul them further up.
If they start to rot, I dump them like so. That's it.
I see...
Having a job is better. Plus, it keeps me from dying of boredom.

Eighteenth Death
Thursday, November 3rd (Very Unlucky Day)
I did it, Natsuno! I exorcised an okiagari!
What do you think? Isn't Daddy so dependable?
Koide Atelier will have a grand reopening!
There's a lot of potential for okiagari customers!
Hi!
(Father continues nonsense chatter)
Dad, may I come in?
The Showroom has been open since morning. Please.
Well then, what do you want?
If you became an okiagari, I wish you would've told me.
Didn't know I had to.
Well, it's not like you had to...
Have you ever heard of jinrou?
It’s used to describe us, right?
As expected, you're a sharp one. Jinrou are a type of shiki.
Including you there are only four of us. We are a rare breed.
Sunako gave us the name jinrou.
In movies, vampires keep werewolves as familiars, right?
Do they? I never watch movies like that.
By the way, one of your friends, Tanaka Akira. I wonder what happened? I haven't seen him in a while.
No idea.
As I thought, you didn't drink any blood did you?
Jinrou have a pulse. They breathe.
They can be in the sun and bear the taste of normal food.
They have greater abilities and enhanced senses.
But if they don't drink blood, they become weak.
Well? I can kill you like this, you know?
Personally, I think killing you is a great idea.
But Sunako wants our numbers to swell.
I'll give you some time to think about it, join us.
If not, I'll have to visit again, and kill you.

Friday, November 4th (Lucky Day)
Yahoo!!!
What... was that?!
The liquor store owner's son.
Looks like he lost it after getting away from his old man.
He developed a taste for murder and is running around killing people.
What the hell! That's too cocky for a newbie! We should report it to
Yoshie-san.
Even now, you're still that petty, aren't you?
Wha...
You're a newbie too! How dare you lecture me?!
This is the best!!!
Tch, Chizuru-san is letting him do whatever he wants, it's getting to his head.
Sunako doesn't mind?
Sunako's spoiling her too much.
Spoiling?
They're like mother and daughter. Chizuru-san being a daughter, that is.
Good evening Yoshie-san.
Sunako's taken a liking to you too.
(Afternoon!)
Eh?
She's grooming you for something.
But that's not why I want you to check up on the okiagari sheds with me.
As I thought. No pulse.
Morning! With all the noise I thought you would rise up.
Ricchan...
I see, because I don't breathe...
Y... You two, also rose up?
Oh? I didn't even have a chance to explain.
Just as I thought...
I remember what happened.
I could hardly breathe, I was so cold. I wanted something to warm up with but I couldn't find anything.
As I tried to look elsewhere I blacked out.
So that's how I died?
That's probably right. Since you already understand, this should speed things up.
Tohru-kun show her the ropes and feed her, please.
Me?
I've got a feeling others will rise tonight, so you take care of her.
No peeking! I'm counting on you.
A-anyway, change in to these. I'll wait outside.
There's no need. Since I'm dead, these burial clothes are plenty enough.
There's also no need to feed me. I don't want to kill anyone.
Everyone says that at first.
But, in the end, you give in to hunger.
It's so agonizing when you're hungry.
My family is dead by now, aren't they?
Last time I saw them, mother and Midore looked the same.
For now, I'll see how I can hold up. That way, I won't hate myself for not trying.
I'm free to make that choice, am I not?
Saturday, November 5th (Unlucky day, save noon) Day of the
Kagura festival (Shimotsuki Kagura)
Tatsu! Tatsu! Takeko-san is gone... (Should it be "Takeko-san, last night... Died..."? I am uncertain.)
Obey me without question! None died in this village!
Perfect! Thanks for the trouble.
It must have been a pain to redo all of them!
Not really, at your command any task is done without rest or delay.
Sunako will be happy with these, too.
She's really nice to those who are of use to her.
In that case I'll need to be useful.
A festival?
Yeah, the Shimotsuki Kagura dance festival.
I can't wait till all the villagers become shiki. Then we'll really have the freedom to do things like shopping and gossiping.
