Summary
Crim and Meidri notice how quiet Ye Pubbe seems whenever Stunk's crew is out of town for quests.Zel visits his old friend Count Call Girlula to deliver a few items as requested decades ago, with Stunk and Brooz doing the heavy lifting. Girlula notices that Zel changes party from the previous time, and he notes that this is the result from being with species with lower life spans.
The Count follows the Reviewers down to the undead brothel Necrowaif, as his harem works here to keep busy during the long years that he sleeps. Stunk has the cute zombie receptionist, Zel takes a JiangshiExplanation , Brooz picks a skeleton lady, and the Count calls out one of his vampire ladies to serve her master.
Meanwhile, Crim is seen stepping out of the Magical Lube Shop, utterly mortified that he ended up visiting such a place on his own volition.
Tropes specific to the segment
- Attractive Zombie: The receptionist is surprisingly cute for a Flesh Golem consisting of two mutilated corpses held together with stitches and bolts.
- Double Entendre: Zel speculates that if Crim were do it with an undead succu-girl, she might pass on for good; which prompts Stunk to remark, "she'd be gone for real?" In Japan, "go" can be an euphemism for "die", but it's also a common euphemism for "orgasm". While "go" can also mean "die" in English, the common English euphemism for orgasm sounds like the opposite, so Yen Press had to rework the wordplay slightly by having the imagined spirit heed the call of heaven, crying, "I'm comiiing!"
- Frankenstein's Monster: The zombie girl goes this route, with body parts held together by stitches and sporting a bolt in her skull.
- Literal Metaphor: Necrowaif's receptionist likes to "take her brains out" when it gets boring. This is represented by her popping her brain out of her skull as her body lays there drooling on the carpet and muttering.
- Pixellation: The zombie receptionist's brains are censor blurred as she plugs them back into her body.
- Squick: In-Universe. Necrowaif reeks of rotten meat, which puts off everyone but the Count.
