The Garage

HoukaPhew... That should do it. Thank you for helping with the cleaning.

HotaruNot at all. Keeping a place we use clean is only natural.

HotaruStill... There was much more stuff here than I expected. It really surprised me.

HoukaThe second floor is our little relaxation space, after all. Everyone keeps quite a few personal things there.

HotaruAre those stacks of music magazines Natsume-san's? And the travel magazines beside them belong to...?

HoukaThose are Mahoro-san's. She often looks through the photos of delicious food at all the sightseeing spots.

HotaruI see... Oh? Are these movie DVDs...?

HoukaAh, Nagi-san brought those in.

HotaruWe can watch movies here too?

HoukaYes. We have not used it recently, but I believe there is a player beneath the television.

HoukaWe used to watch them together quite often.

HotaruI see... So that is how it was.

HoukaDo you enjoy movies, Hotaru-san?

HotaruI have not really watched very many...

HoukaOh my. Are they simply not to your taste?

HotaruNo, it is not that. I just hardly ever go to the movie theater.

HotaruSometimes my family watches whatever is on television on weekend nights...

HoukaI see. What kinds of films do you usually watch?

HotaruUm... I remember watching family-friendly animated movies and fantasy films from overseas.

HoukaHow lovely. Those are classic genres with so many wonderful films.

HotaruDo you like movies, Houka-san?

HoukaI do, though I only go to the theater from time to time.

HotaruWhat kinds of movies do you watch?

HoukaZombie movies♪

HotaruZ-Zombies...!?

HotaruZombie movies are horror movies, right...? So you like scary films?

HoukaNo, not exactly. I like zombie movies, but I am not especially fond of zombies themselves.

HotaruThen, um...?

HoukaPeople who are attacked by zombies. I find the moments when their true nature comes to light rather fascinating... That's it♪

HotaruI-I see...?

HoukaEveryone carries desires within them. But in everyday life, we bind ourselves with one reason or another...

HoukaThen, when people like that are placed between life and death by a zombie attack, their true selves emerge.

HoukaSome flee before anyone else, some turn on their companions, and some mercilessly wipe out the zombies...

HoukaThey all look so very happy♪

HotaruUm... I suppose that is one way to enjoy them...?

HoukaHehe. If you would like, I can bring you one of my recommendations sometime.

HotaruA-A recommendation...?

HoukaBeing able to share something you love with another person. I am sure that is a very happy thing indeed♪

HotaruOh...! I understand.

HotaruI want to know the things you love too, Houka-san!

HoukaMy. This promises to be quite delightful♪
