Highschool of the Dead 9

With the rest being safely escorted to Takagi's home, Saeko and Takashi are now heading there as well via an alternate route but was forced to keep switching streets as they continue to encounter more and more of "them" as they get closer to Takagi's home. Takashi then thought of a bike shop he had previously saw and decided to take a look there to take a motorbike for easier travelling. Saeko however, suggests to use a buggy at the back of the shop and Takashi agrees too that it would be the best choice. Leaving the main streets, Takashi attempted to lure "them" down a slope since they weren't able to navigate but since "they" were undeads, it didn't really matter much. Takashi took another turn and drove the buggy into the water to avoid "them" but in doing so, he got Saeko into an unglamorous situation due to the heavy water splashes. Taking a break midway in a small elevated ground in the river, Takashi asked Saeko if she had a relationship with anyone before for which she replies that as a girl, she once had a crush on somebody and declined to explain further. Later in the night where the coast seems to be clear of "them", Takashi drove the buggy to the park and brought it into the fountain and with a tape secured tightly to the buggy's controls, it was led to encircle the fountain, producing sound to lure all of "them" together while the duo take a different route. Saeko then took the opportunity and took down many of "them" but had suddenly stopped in front of 2 dead children and hesitated. Takashi sees the situation and immediately runs forward and shot them as he wouldn't make it in time if he didn't and with "them" now attracted to the gunshot, the duo began to run to a nearby house and stayed there temporary. Saeko later tells Takashi that she had stopped due to her realising that her nature hadn't change at all. In the past, when she was forced on by a man, she had the upperhand with her wooden sword but had deliberately lure the man close to her before smashing him with her sword and almost taking his life. Saeko tells Takashi that she felt ecstatic while doing that and that was the real her that she hopes she could change but it got worse when "they" came. Takashi says that he too, had felt great while killing "them" but Saeko tells him that it was AFTER "they" appeared for him and for her, it was way before that. The next morning, Takashi scopes the surroundings and seeing the coast was clear, signalled for Saeko to move out. Unfortunately, the rustling of leaves had attracted many of "them" to their location and Saeko wasn't really willing to go all wild again. Takashi then took on the role of her assaulter, telling her that she would always be the Saeko he looks upon no matter what her character was like. And with that, Saeko unsheathes the sword Takashi had found and passed to her last night, and began cutting down all of them, and with the coast clear, the duo finally reached Takagi's house.

well, ignoring the fs, again, it felt rather draggy and seeing how the series could be ending at, i would've looked forward to it if they managed to reach the latest few chapters. nonetheless, the ecstatic problem finally gets mentioned and it really is, a serious problem in the screwed up world they are in now. *hopes for less fs in the next few episodes, last 2 were just plain overload...*

Note

there would be a template change sometime soon, so do look out for the change :)
