Talentless Nana (無能なナナ)

I may be a murderer,

but at least I let the dead rest in peace.

Ooh, so that's who's beneath the mask.

Yikes. You're pretty scary.

But even if you go berserk, you can't defeat all of us.

I don't need to defeat all of you.

I'll just explain that I was on night patrol.

What? Cut the crap, sweetie.

Shinji and I both saw everything you did!

Shinji is dead.

You're merely animating him.

Everyone thinks he's alive!

I'll tell them the truth about you two.

If you really are a hulk and not a necromancer,

you should be able to prove that.

But you can't, right?

Then what do you think'll happen?

Humans don't believe the truth.

They believe people.

I'm the class leader,

and you're a crazy necromancer who screws her dead boyfriend every night.

I wonder who they'll side with?

Regardless, she's taken my poisoned needles.

Even though I have a motive-firewall,

if Kyoya finds my weapon, he'll have damning proof.

So, I have a proposal.

"Talentless Nana"

You don't want your peers to know your boyfriend is dead, right?

Episode 7: Necromancer Part 2

No one would guess that the self-proclaimed necromancer is actually an animated corpse.

What's your proposal?

I promise to keep your secret.

And to spare you and Shinji's lives.

Well, that makes no sense.

I thought I had the upper-hand here.

I'm prepared to earn your cooperation.

I lost this round, after all.

As a sign of goodwill, I will tell you something your heart is dying to know.

My heart's desire?

Yeah.

I'll tell you what Shinji is whispering to you right now.

I can also hear the thoughts of the dead.

Got her.

If you release me, I can focus on Shinji and hear his thoughts.

Do you accept?

From everything she's said, she's clearly a hopeless romantic.

Don't you want to hear him?

I can deliver a message from Heaven, from the boy you love.

Thank you.

Well, let's give it a go.

What did he say?

He said, "Kill Nana."

Don't be stupid, Yuka.

She's right.

If you want to hear my voice, all you have to do is kill her.

When you animate the dead, you can use their powers, too.

You're right, babe.

I should just kill Nana.

Then all my secrets will be kept safe, too.

Good. She took the bait.

And now the hard part.

There she is!

Where did she go?

This way!

Killing Yuka, the one with powers, would be ideal.

But her bodyguard is an obstacle.

I need to incapacitate him somehow... but I don't know how.

That was Tsunekichi's necklace.

Why does Yuka have it? Doesn't make sense.

Let's test my hypothesis.

She went into these bushes, right?

Keep your guard up.

You brought the stuff just in case, right?

Yup.

You're not getting away from me.

What a pretty necklace.

Do you have Shinji's remains in that pendant?

Since you wear it even in your sleep,

it must be quite precious to you.

See, the thing about necromancers,

they need relics--well, basically anything the corpse touched in life.

Like Tsunekichi's necklace.

Now I see.

So you stole his necklace before the funeral,

then manipulated his corpse so that you could hype up the class about Shinji?

You really did Tsunekichi dirty.

Says the girl who killed him? Please.

So, what happens if I take that pendant from you?

I'd like to see you try.

Her voice was coming from over here, right?

Shinji!

Oww.

Crap! We'd better hurry before day breaks.

Yuka has to defend herself while controlling Shinji.

If I keep startling her while retreating into the dark, I should be safe.

That's odd.

I'm sure I left some tracks behind,

but how is Yuka able to follow me in the dark like this?

What?!

What was that thing?!

Remember what I said, sweetie?

I always thought this island was off.

I could tell because of my powers,

but there's like, a lot of bodies buried in the mountains.

I checked their memories and they all had hella gruesome deaths.

Some of them are former teachers, some are students with talents.

And one of them had dark-vision.

So I can totally see everything in the dark.

What is all of this?

I know this island has housed enemies of humanity for a while.

But was there a Talented civil war?

Or was this my predecessors' doing?

But the Committee didn't say a word about this.

Scary stuff, right?

Maybe I should have restored their bodies fully like I did with Shinji.

Well... let's play tag.

I don't have time to ponder mysteries now!

I remember, when I looked under Yuka's bed,

I saw other strange objects besides Tsunekichi's necklace.

Don't tell me those all belonged to these zombies?

What can I do?

She's got good visibility and countless allies.

It's practically impossible to attack Yu--

Crap!

Ooh! Persistent. I like it.

Seems like I shook them off.

An abandoned cottage...

It's broken.

Which means, it only locks from the outside.

Shinji never comes to school during the day.

And when I sneaked into his room earlier, it was eerily dark.

It's flimsy logic.

But the supernatural powers of the enemies of humanity can't be easily explained with logic.

My theory is unconfirmed, but maybe if I can hide from them until sunrise...

Or perhaps...

...run from them?

I can't let myself do that!

My loss here would be an admission that the Talented can subjugate the Talentless.

If my theory is unconfirmed, I need to stand my ground until I confirm it.

Okay!

Found you.

You were trying to barricade yourself in there. Just like a zombie movie.

Nana. Sweetie,

this cottage is like a straw house to Shinji.

Then he's welcome to come in.

So you've got a trap set up, right?

Aw, what should I do? It's almost morning.

I don't want to risk Nana hurting my Shinji.

Mornings don't work for you?

Then maybe you should hurry up and attack me.

Didn't you check under the bed?

I'm already attacking you.

Oh dear. Ran out of time.

It's sunlight...

That's right. I have to keep them away from the sunlight.

That way, I can animate them and channel their senses.

I'm impressed.

Any normal person wouldn't have provoked me to attack like you did.

You've got balls.

I'm gonna be more careful from now on.

So, you're not coming in?

I'm wounded. And the door is unlocked.

Yeah, I'd totally attack you without my army!

No one's here to have my back.

It's much smarter to just lock you in here and come back for you tonight.

All the tools you could use to escape are outside, you know?

I'm sure you tried to reinforce your fortress, but that backfired.

I think I'll take a nice hot bath and go to school!

God dammit!

Sorry to interrupt your nap, but is Hiiragi absent?

Oh, you mean Nana?

I'm not sure, but we were up late last night talking.

Talking? About what.

Oh, just girl-talk. Why?

Never mind. As long as she's okay.

Your necklace is about to come off.

The clasp is wide open.

Ohhh, thanks.

Incidentally, what's "girl-talk"?

Uhh, it's like...

I need to get out of here... fast.

When the sun sets, the zombies might wake up.

Okay then.

Wonder how she's doing?

Be careful. She might charge at us.

Yeah, the most dangerous part is opening the door.

Shinji, do your thing.

Hey, Nana?

Ready to give up, sweetie?
