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.
