01x11 - Everyday Life with Dullahan

[bunniefuu]

Species 11 "Everyday Life with a Dullahan"

Those clothes are so cute!

Come on, this way!

Tionishia-san, slow down!

Sheesh... I told you to call me Tio.

They've got new sweets here!

Let's get some!

W-Wait! Time out!

ANM48's new single is out!

Gotta buy it quick!

I'm surprised you're not dead yet.

I'm used to it.

I know it's short notice,

but you're going on a date with us today.

Huh?

Look at this.

Another threatening letter?

"I will grant you death.

Until death separates us forever,

together we'll share a fleeting dream.

At the end of your short life,
I will grant you death.

I shall send you into eternal
Hell and everlasting darkness.

This life is like a mirage
disappearing in the wind.

I am the servant of darkness.

From D."

This one sounds like an ominous love letter.

Or like a delusional teenager.

It sounds like a poem.

I think it's wonderful.

But why am I going on a date with all of you?

Smith-san didn't tell me anything.

We just decided to do it
because our day off changed.

What?!

Well, I'm sick of just spending every day

watching you people out having fun on dates!

How dare they flirt!

Nothing unusual to report.

I'm hungry.

I can't take it anymore!

That's why?

We want to get out of this
job as soon as possible!

That's right.

Just set us free already!

I feel like they've been playing
around on the job a lot, though.

You and your damn flirting every single day!

You know we're watching, don't you?!

I don't really mind. It's our job.

What, do you just like to show off?!

Turn us loose already so
we can go eat some meat!

Hey, where's Doppel-san?

She said she didn't feel like it and left.

I want meat!

I'm going to catch the culprit
today, whatever it takes!

So let's get this fake date started!

Store for All Species

We carry all sizes

Well, Boyfriend-chan?

Does this look good on me?

Y-Yeah, it looks great. I think.

Come on!

You have to look at me.

But, um... I mean... Well, the volume...

Sheesh!

You know I'm self-conscious about my height.

You're so insensitive.

That's not what I meant!

It's stuck on my butt... I can't get it off!

Boyfriend-chan, help me!

What?!

Try not to tense up,
especially around your belly.

Relax.

Lower it slowly as you exhale.

Oh, right.

I'll leave once it starts to come off.

Sob, sob, sob.

I'm sorry, really.

Sob, sob, sob, sob.

I didn't think it'd slip off so easily.

Sob, sob, sob.

That too, but...

I really liked this skirt!

Do they have it in a larger size?

I don't want to have to give up on it!

That's what upset her?

You know,

the sizes of clothes can be adjusted.

Really?!

Miia buys human clothes,
and I modify them for her.

A skirt should be easy.

Thank you, Boyfriend-chan!

It's so amazing that you can do that!

I admire you so much.

Hey, Boyfriend-kun, can you hear me?

Zombina-san?

Well? Seen anyone suspicious?

No one as of yet.

I knew they wouldn't get
close with Tio around.

That was mean!

Zombie the Utopia

Time to tap out.

Zombie movies are so great!

They're the ultimate hybrid
between pleasure and panic!

Modern running zombies aren't too bad,

but they're a bit too lively.

Not as lively as you, though, Zombina-san.

Aww, I'm not that lively...

Whoops.

Manga Café Horohoro

Not bad.

So cooking isn't the only thing you're good at.

Sorry I only have regular cotton thread.

And you're not repulsed.

Huh?

Guys especially hate blood and stuff.

The ones who don't like it
always make disgusted faces.

Do you have some kind of resistance to gore?

Well, a real corpse might be too much for me.

But you're you, Zombina-san.

So I'm okay.

What the heck? You sound ridiculous!

Huh?

Why'd he have to say that all of a sudden?

I thought my stopped heart
would start throbbing.

But if he says he's okay with it,

maybe I'll tease him a bit.

You dropped something.

Uh-oh.

The stitches holding my boob on busted.

Could you put that back on?

He's freaking out now.

D-Does it hurt?

I'm a zombie.

I don't feel pain.

I can still feel, though,

so don't be too rough.

Okay...

Th-The last bit to sew is under the breast...

Sorry, sorry, sorry!

I'm just kidding. I didn't feel anything.

Crap, I made a noise...

Also, this doesn't even make sense.

Who would enjoy having their boob sewn on?

Zombina-san!

You're bleeding!

Are you okay?

Huh? I don't see any blood...

Huh?

Manga Café Horohoro

Internet

Wh-What are you laughing at?

My sides!

My stitches are going to come out!

Um, it's time to switch.

Um...

Manako-san?

Y-Yes? What is it?

This is a date.

Shouldn't you get a little closer?

S-Sorry!

Also, can you see with that
hat covering your face?

I knew it...

A-Are you okay?

I only have one eye,

so I have no depth perception.

Um...

If you don't mind...

Can we go somewhere more private?

What? You mean...

I don't like crowds...

Oh, that's what you meant.

Is green tea okay?

Yes, that's fine.

Being around crowds is tiring, huh?

He really is nice.

He's even nice to me.

Maybe that's why he gets
along with them so well.

Then again, what if he's just pretending?

Maybe he actually thinks
they're annoying or scary.

I can recognize people like that
by looking at their eyes.

They look away when I make eye contact.

He's not actually looking at me, either.

He doesn't care about me.

Boyfriend-san, could you look this way?

Huh?

What? Is something wrong?

No, I... um...

Is there something on my face?

No, it's, um... I mean...

Don't look at me!

What? B-But you told me to!

You there!

You've been following us!

Who are you?

She ran—

Gotcha!

All right!

We'll finally be free of this job!

That's great.

Now, let's see who our culprit really...

What?

Doppel?

Yikes...

These tranquilizers are strong...

Well, the boyfriend just wouldn't pick anyone,

so I sent the letter to create

a sense of danger so he'd
have to get with someone.

Smith and I came up with it together.

Did it work?

It didn't really get him with "someone."

It got him even closer to all of them.

Seriously? It was pointless, then.

Why didn't you tell us, anyway?

Why?

Because it was funny?

You were working so hard
with no idea who really did it.

Oh, right.

This is what she's like.

Yeah, but think about it.

Didn't you have fun today?

Well, I suppose...

Why are you blushing, Manako?

Well, I've never been treated
like a normal girl before.

I was kind of embarrassed.

Boyfriend-chan is really open-minded.

He doesn't mind the small stuff.

He sees even us

as nothing but ordinary girls, I guess.

By the way,

that second letter was really lyrical.

The one that sounded like a poem, right?

I didn't know you could
write like that, Doppel-san.

It was wonderful.

The second one?

I only sent one.

What?

I'm home.

Welcome back, Darling.

Did you find the person sending the letters?

Oh, um...

It was her... I think.

It's a headless ghost!

Wh-What is that?

Get away from her, Darling!

Hey, wait...

Cross-section

Cross-section...

Windpipe... spine...

Master,

who is this headless girl?

Well, actually...

I have no idea, either.

But...

She apparently lost her head.

That in itself doesn't make any sense.

Anyway, I couldn't just leave her,

so I brought her here.

She's not an abandoned puppy...

So I'm going to go look for her head.

Now?

It's almost nighttime.
Why not do it tomorrow?

A girl's face is out there somewhere.

I can't just leave it.

Then I shall help you.

Huh? You'll help me?

There's no need for you
to search by yourself.

I'll help, you.

Thanks, everyone.

I'll be back soon.

W-Wait! Don't leave me!

I'll watch Suu and our headless guest.

I can't see very well, even with the lights.

I don't see it.

I'll keep looking.

Thanks.

It's dark, so be careful.

Well, Master?

I don't see anything but trash.

Huh? Where's Miia?

Miia?

Calm down, Miia.

It's a mannequin's head.

I've had enough!

I don't want to look for a severed head!

I bet her species doesn't even have heads!

She never had one to begin with!

It bothers you that much?

You really don't like severed heads
and gore and stuff, huh?

She has a point.

Perhaps we should find it
quickly and go home.

After all, what we're looking for

is, without a doubt, a severed head.

Yeah, most people would assume
it was part of a dismembered body.

Dismembered Body Found in Park

Woman's Head Discovered
Other Parts Still Missing

We might be treated as suspects.

Huh?

Did she find it this time?

I'm going to calm her down.

I'm sorry, but could you get the head?

B-But...

I-Is it alive?

Her body was moving,

so it must be alive...

Um, are you okay?

Are you hurt or...

She's ignoring me?

Maybe the head can't talk by itself.

I-In any case, I'd better take it home.

Do not casually touch me.

I am a Dullahan,

guide of souls and reaper of death.

You seem to be caring for my body.

I thank you.

O-Okay...

It was not my wish to reveal this form to you.

Huh? Her head doesn't give the
same impression as her body.

It seemed clumsy.

As I am being hunted by the Organization,

I cannot be choosy.

Organization?

However, in this form,

I cannot wield the power of death.

You, human.

Huh?

I will allow you to touch my flesh.

Offer yourself as a temporary body

and serve me.

I will take back my body

and grant the blessings of darkness.

Um, what?

Insolent human.

Know your place.

Mortals must serve me, death incarnate,

and assist me in restoring my strength.

I-I'm saying...

P-Please take me to my body.

It's not very comfortable being... just a head.

Oh, that's what you wanted?

Excuse me.

By the way, what was that threatening letter...

I mean, that letter all about?

I am a Dullahan, hunter of death.

I have but one reason to
associate with the living.

Wh-What's wrong?

S-Someone is violating my body...

Violating?

I can't tell how she's
responding without a head.

And this is starting to feel bizarre.

But whatever.

It's been a while since I last
played with a normal body.

Damn you, Rach-neesan!

Is this why you volunteered to stay home?!

Keep your voice down.

It's dark.

I'm scared.

But someone reported screams...

I'd better investigate.

This isn't good.

If he notices us, there'll be trouble.

Sorry, but keep your voice down.

I can't... take it...

Er... Huh?

Nothing odd here!

Why did you suddenly settle down?

Better go home!

I don't know.

The violation simply stopped.

Could it be...

I let my guard down.

I'd better thank Suu for this one.

Wait... Suu?

Oh, no!

Now there's no one to stop Suu!

There's something slimy... all over my body...

Don't move!

Don't move! I'll sh**t!

I'll sh**t, so don't you move!

Wh-What's with the severed head?!

W-Wait!

Did you dismember a body?!

I can't handle a case this huge—

Ouch...

It was too dark to see him.

What's all the fuss, Master?

Darling!

You are deserving of praise...

The severed head spoke!

Damn it, that's enough!

You're finally back to normal.

Shall I tie your head on
so it never falls off again?

What?

The tea is ready.

Would you like some?

Yes.

I am curious to see if Earth beverages

can quench my thirst.

Can you drink with that neck?

It's not a problem.

I wouldn't call that drinking.

Was it hot?

Hey, can you eat sweets?

Of course.

Hey, you forgot your head already.

So she really is a Dullahan.

You know what she is?

Dullahans are headless horsemen,
who appear to those

on the brink of death.

Like death gods, they reap the souls of the
dead and guide them to the underworld.

Death gods? How terrifying.

That sounds like a fairy tale.

I thought they were imaginary.

You guys don't get to say that.

Wait... If you're here, does that mean

someone around here is about to die?

What?!

Indeed.

There is one on the verge of death.

But is that—

It's you.

You are on the verge of death.

Species 12
"Everyday Life with Monster Girls"

Dullahan
An extremely rare non-human species with a separate head and body. They are not undead like zombies, but rather a living creature. While the head and body are connected, the head controls the body, but when they are separate, the body acts independently, making them one of the more mysterious non-human species. They call themselves death gods and dress as such, but as this cannot be scientifically proven, the truth is unknown.
