Prologue - Part 2

PROLOGUE

What...is that...?

I... I think it’s a stuffed animal...

That’s right, I am a squeezably soft stuffed animal.

“Magical Miracle Girl ★ Usami”... A.K.A. Usami!

I may not look like it, but I am your squeezably soft teacher.

Nice to meet you all!

PROLOGUE

H-Huh? Am I hallucinating? Am I the only one who's seeing this?

PROLOGUE

Nah, I see it too...

PROLOGUE

What's with this talkin' Chihuahua!?

PROLOGUE

Eh!? That's a Chihuahua!?

PROLOGUE

...Does everybody here know what a rabbit is?

It’s a loveable animal that’s very fluffy and soft.

PROLOGUE

That’s what I am! A singing, dancing, talking rabbit mascot!

PROLOGUE

H-Hold on! Let me process this first!

PROLOGUE

Okie-dokie!

PROLOGUE

Um...what do you guys think?

I-I've never seen a stuffed animal that can sing, dance, and talk before...

PROLOGUE

I-It’s probably remote controlled or something... Don’t act like such a pussy over a child’s toy.

PROLOGUE

E-Even if it’s remote controlled, doesn’t it look too lifelike? That’s pretty advanced for a toy...

PROLOGUE

Its movements and mannerisms are not the issue. More importantly, based on what it just said...

It seems you know something about our current situation...!

PROLOGUE

Of course I do! I’m the lead teacher of this school trip!

PROLOGUE

School trip...?

PROLOGUE

Hey... What do you mean, “school trip”?

PROLOGUE

A large group of students go on a chaperoned trip with a lead teacher! It’s the biggest event of the school year!

W-We weren’t asking for the definition!

PROLOGUE

Let’s get going! Your fun school trip starts nooow!
Wait...what?
The trip... starts now?

PROLOGUE

........

........What?

What!?
I couldn’t understand what had just happened to the world around us.
The classroom fell apart as if the walls were made of cardboard, and then, before our very own eyes...
Blue sky...white clouds...
...and a blue sea and white waves.

W...What’s going on!?
For a second I thought I had stopped breathing.
What we’d just seen... was completely and utterly ridiculous.


PROLOGUE

Um...

PROLOGUE

Wha-Wha-Wha-Wha-Wha-Wha-Wha-What!?

PROLOGUE

This is a joke right?

PROLOGUE

Wh-Where are we!?

PROLOGUE

What the hell is this!? How did everything just...!?

PROLOGUE

Everyone! Please stay calm!

PROLOGUE

There is no reason to panic!

Seeeeee? Look around!

Feast your eyes on this beautiful ocean... It’s like your heart is being washed clean, isn’t it?

It washes away everything... even all the bad things...

PROLOGUE

Hold on, give us the details...! Where in the world are we?

PROLOGUE

"Where," you ask...? Well, obviously we're...

PROLOGUE

"Out where it's better! Out where it's wetter!"

...Out by the sea!

PROLOGUE

I-I understand this is the sea, but...what are we doing here!?

PROLOGUE

You know...your throat's gonna get hoarse if you keep screaming like that.

PROLOGUE

But... we were just at school and now we are by the sea... This is impossible...

PROLOGUE

Please do not worry. The school trip has just started! That's all!

PROLOGUE

But, like, why are we on a school trip all of a sudden!? You totally skipped alllll the stuff that comes first!

Y-Yeah, she’s right! We were at Hope’s Peak Academy and now we’re suddenly here!?

PROLOGUE

Ah, Hope's Peak Academy... I seeeee, I seeeee... You don't say...

You guys are feeling unsure about Hope's Peak Academy. Then, in that case...

Please forget all about it! That’s why we’re having a school trip in the first place!

...What?

PROLOGUE

The hell do you mean we should forget about it!?

PROLOGUE

Hey...what are you? Just what are you scheming?

PROLOGUE

Wha-Wha-Whaaat!? I’m not scheming anything! I’m doing all of this for you!

I’m praying from the bottom of my heart that “hope” will grow within everyone’s heart!

There’s nothing dangerous on this island whatsoever! So please, there is no need to worry at all!

PROLOGUE

Island...? Did you just say “island”?

PROLOGUE

Yep! This is a beauuutiful tropical island.

It was prepared just for us, an island free from other people and danger.

PROLOGUE

Could it be...? Did you bring us to this uninhabited island to make us kill each other...!?

PROLOGUE

Ha-wa-wa!? K-Kill each other!?

Nuh-uh! No way!

Bloody business, like causing violence or inflicting pain, is a big no-no on this island!

Even the word "kill"... Just saying it horrifies me!

PROLOGUE

Kyaah! Scary!

PROLOGUE

Then...what is this "school trip" you mentioned? What do you intend for us to do on this island?

PROLOGUE

All righty! I shall announce it to everyone right now!

While you all relax on this island paradise, you must get along and strengthen your bonds with one another!

That is the main rule on this Heart-Throbbing School Trip!

PROLOGUE

Heart-Throbbing School Trip...?

PROLOGUE

Spend these peaceful and relaxing days nourishing hope and lazing about, free from pain, free from suffering.

That’s what this lovely-dovely Heart-throbbing School Trip is.

That’s your first piece of assessment!

H... How?

Why!?

PROLOGUE

Now then...

PROLOGUE

Let the totally never-before-seen Heart-throbbing School Trip begin!!


PROLOGUE
I...I couldn’t keep up.
It was impossible for me to keep up with something as absurd as this...
All I could do... was close my eyes...
...and let go.
