Prologue - Part 7
Oh... it’s a restaurant.
It’s enormous. We could easily hold a banquet here. It kind of has this tropical, open country feeling.
Open? You realise we’re trapped on an island, right?
Are we really trapped...?
Are you for real? What else could it be!?
............
Oh well. We can talk about it after we’ve finished introducing ourselves.
Funnily enough, there are two people talking over there.
That’s right... I’m having a hard time because it’s full of poison.
It really sucks. Speaking of which, it’d be great if you could use your mouth to suck it out...
Poison... I see...
Hey, do you guys have a second?
Whoa... Denied...
...Denied?
Hello, it is nice to meet you.
Um... Good day. My name’s Mahiru Koizumi.
Mahiru Koizumi, huh? How lovely that we can finally meet.
My name’s Teruteru Hanamura. On the streets, I’m known as the Ultimate Cook...
But you can call me the Ultimate Chef instead. It has more of a...big-city flavor to it, ya know?
Mmhmhm... I hope we get along very well.
....
He hasn’t said anything weird, but... something about him rubs me the wrong way.
Oh, that reminds me, I have not properly introduced myself either. I am terribly sorry to keep you waiting!
My name is Sonia Nevermind.
I am a foreign exchange student from a small European kingdom called Novoselic.
I may cause trouble here and there, but I hope we can get along well.
Ah... me too!
Pure white porcelain skin... eyes that gleam like jewels... She's like a fairytale character come to life.
She had an aura that could work with any angle, under any lighting. Something that could make a simple portrait look like an oil painting...
...Are you enchanted? Well, that probably can't be helped.
She's known as the Ultimate Princess, which means she's actual royalty.
A real life princess... It almost didn’t feel right being in the same room as her.
Um, this may be rude of me to say, but...truthfully, I feel happy.
Don’t worry, it’s not rude... Why are you happy?
In my home country, I...did not have a single friend my age whose standing in society matched my own.
So, to be able to do something like this with everyone is a new experience for me...
...I shall extol your virtues.
...I feel she's singing praise I don't deserve.
Hey, hey, you three. Am I being left off the menu or something?
...No?
Oh Teruteru, it’s so like you to check out the restaurant first. As the Ultimate Chef, do you like it?
Mmhmhm... I would be lying if I said I wasn’t interested.
And since I do not want to be a liar, then truthfully...
Yeah, I like it.
Though I like the big-city flavor of my hometown Minato, a country atmosphere like this is also splendid.
Mmhmhmhmhmhm...!
Oh, you’re from Minato? I love taking photos there!
Uh... that’s great to hear.
But anyway... I must say... I’m also very happy to be here.
You’re happy to be here? Kidnapped? On a deserted island?
Of course. It’s certainly... broadened my horizons.
For instance, I have a sneaking suspicion that Miss Peko is actually a bit of a freak. If you catch my meaning.
What do you think, Nagito?
Huh?
She’s probably wearing a black thong, too. What are your thoughts on that?
Eh!?
Y-You... What have you been getting up to?!
Well, putting that aside for now... This might also seem unexpected to you, but...
I feel like Sonia over there has a good chance of putting out.
You see, everybody knows princesses are groomed to lack common sense, right?
For example, I could tell her my “loins” are full of poison and ask her to suck it out...
Is that what he was talking to her about before!?
We’ve been kidnapped and thrown onto an island... and all you’ve done is peek on girls!?
Whaaat? Is it not in a man’s nature?
O-Of course not! It’s in a man’s nature to protect, not perve!
...Pardon me, what are you talking about?
Oh, it’s nothing. It just seems Miss Mahiru here won’t be cooperating.
L-Like hell it’s nothing! Keep your hands off the girls!
Don’t worry, Mahiru. If I see him try anything, I’ll stop him. Forcibly.
Aw, you too? Just when I thought the world was my oyster...
This looks like a ranch.
There’s even a couple of animals here...
Who is tending to them? It can’t be that stuffed toy, can it?
Aww... you found it out!
A-Ah! How do you keep appearing out of nowhere like that!?
I can show up anywhere, anytime! The system allows me to appear anywhere on the island!
It’s all thanks to this handy-dandy Magic Stick!
Magic... stick? Is she talking about that toy wand she’s been carrying around?
Hmm... still, I am quite troubled...
A ranch without any moo-cows is like a soccer team without any balls.
You might want to rephrase that...
All righty! Just leave it to me and my handy-dandy Magic Stick!
Bibidi Bobidi! Bibidi Bobidi!
Bibidibibidi! Bobidibobidi!
Bu! Turn into a moo-cow!
W... WHAT!?
Harumph! A huge success! [leaves]
W-What did I just see!? How did that chicken become a cow!?
It’s probably some sort of trick or illusion. I bet it was set up before we got here.
She was probably trying to make us happy, but... I guess it had the opposite effect on you, Mahiru.
No kidding!
It’s true that it was probably just an illusion, but even so... it felt so strangely real!
Jeez! This island is becoming way too much!
Hey! It’s the chick that fainted!
...What’s your name?
Did she really have to bring up the fainting? I hope this isn’t something I become known for...
Um, my name’s Mahiru Koizumi.
Gotcha... And who’s your friend?
...Huh? Haven't we already met?
Oh, haha! I'm sorry!
I pretty much suck at rememberin' names, and I've met so many interestin' characters today.
I'm Nagito Komaeda. If you can, please don't forget my name again...
Yo! The name's Akane Owari! Nice to meetcha!
Akane is known as the Ultimate Gymnast, and an all-around super athlete.
Rumour has it she’s a wild troublemaker, but her athletic ability is off the charts.
However, her basics and fundamentals are all over the place, so her gymnastic routines are mostly improvised.
She can put on a magnificent performance when her mind’s on it, but when it isn’t she doesn’t even bother showing up to the competition.
Sounds like she’s a bit of a procrastinator.... If she doesn’t clean up her act now, everything she’s been avoiding is gonna come back to bite her.
Huh? Mahiru, could you be...
Oh, I get it! Are these the kinds of girls you photograph in your private time?
What the..?
H-Hey, don’t accuse me of things like that! I’ll slap you if you do it again!
Squish! Squish!
What’s this little girl doing?
She’s sitting down and pushing her finger into the ground with all her strength.
Um... hello? Are you busy? I’d like to introduce myself.
Oh? What’s your name?
Mahiru Koizumi... and yours?
It’s Hiyoko Saionji!
Squish, squish!
She seems far more preoccupied pushing her fingers into the ground.
Honestly, just what is she doing?
Hiyoko's talent has made her known as the Ultimate Traditional Dancer.
As a rookie, the Japanese dance industry expects a lot from her. She's already performed overseas many times.
It seems her performances are popular among young audiences, which is rare in the Japanese dance industry.
Well, then again, her fans are mostly men.
You shouldn’t be saying that with such a happy face.
Squish! Squish!
She’s still going at it...
Hey, can I ask what you’re doing there?
Hmm? I'm squishing!
...Squishing?
Mr. Ant. I’m squishing lots of Mr. Ants.
What?
Hehe... If you squish their tummies just right, it makes this awesome sound.
Hey, big sis! Wanna do it together!?
Uh... maybe another time...
Aww, really? You look like you’d be good at squishing.
Mahiru already said she’ll play with you another time. Right now she’s a little busy.
I wasn’t talking to you, albino tramp.
Eh!? Where did that come from!?
