Super High-School Level Dangan Ronpa Discussion! (Spoilers ahead!)

[RandomYoshi]

Spoiler

Okay, what the fuck is up with Gundam Tanaka? He is the creepiest thing ever, but he is awesome in how creepy he is, so I won't hold that against him.

Oh and Kasuichi Souda is slightly cool, I guess.

Anyway, good that we're getting to know more characters now. But nonetheless, I am still eager for Monobear's arrival to the scene.

 

[Nabber]

Spoiler

Tanaka is an amazing character and should be regarded as such.

I think Souda will become better as we get to know him, too. Sure hope Tanaka doesn't die next case though.

 

[RandomYoshi]

Spoiler

Okay, so Mikan Tsumiki somewhat reminds me of Chihiro Fujisaki, and Ibuki Mioda somewhat reminds me of Celestia Ludenberg.

Also I find it really odd how Mikan Tsumiki specifically likes toilets. Perhaps that will be a part of a case? I don't know. Also I love how Mikan likes pretty much anything that smells like isopropanol. And speaking of things the characters like/dislike, Ibuki Mioda hating boredom is the best thing ever, too.

Anyway, remember that guy with the short hairdo in the second update? I really want to know more about that character. And I also want to know more about Togami.

 

[User4042]

The DR2 characters seem look the DR1 people with different stuff

That fat guy looks like a fat Togami

 

[RandomYoshi]

The fat guy who you are talking about is Byakuya Togami.

Also, you could theoretically compare characters in one game with characters in another, find similarities and draw conclusions like those without much avail anyway, so I don't see the point in making such comparisons that only has the obvious conclusion that "this character from this game is like this other character from this other game".

 

[Nabber]

I can't stand these characters, they better establish their character soon.

 

[RandomYoshi]

I can imagine that Fuyuhiko Kusuryuu is going to kill someone, and his execution will include something about his face.

I don't care that much about Nekomaru Nidai at the moment — it seems all he is about is to yell and stuff like that.

I do, however, slightly care about Mahiru Koisumi for reasons I'm unaware of.

 

[Nabber]

dumb paywalls

 

[RandomYoshi]

dumb paywalls

I was just about to say this.

Do you think that the guy who mirrored the last updates of the first game are going to mirror the updates we're missing right now? I hope so.

 

[RandomYoshi]

Double post, but I need to tell you guys here something. Tomorrow, I am getting a Something Awful account so that, whenever there is a paywall up, I will be mirrroring every update that Oren posts while the paywall is still up. Also, if you have missed any updates, want to catch up with the Let's Play, but there us a paywall up, PM me the update number and I will send you that update as a reply to your PM.

 

[Crackin355]

I was just gonna wait till it got down since the guy who did mirrored updates before stopped using his account, but this is really nice of you to do

 

[Revin]

That's really nice of you, RY.

 

[RandomYoshi]

Spoiler: Update 8

Beautiful Ruin [Summer Salt]

Let's see what's upstairs.

This looks like... the hotel restaurant.

It's large enough to host a banquet. A sense of space you can only get in southern countries...

A sense of space? We're trapped on an island, you know.

I wonder if we really are trapped...

What else could it be...?

............

Oh, well. We'd better get on with the introductions.

...Look, there's two people talking over there.

Re: Junk Food for a Dashing Youth

That's right... It's terrible if it gets swollen by poison.

That's why you must suck the poison out with your mouth as soon as possible...

Poison? I see...

H... Hey... do you have a second?

Music fades out

Sigh... Just as I was getting close...

...Close?

Beautiful Ruin [Summer Salt]

...Good day.

Er... Good day. My name's Hajime Hinata. Nice to meet you.

You're that new face around here, aren't you?

My name is Teruteru Hanamura. They've been calling me a "Super High-school Level Cook", but...

I prefer "Super High-school Level Chef" myself. It has a much more... sophisticated air, don't you think?

Teruteru Hanamura: Super High-school Level Cook

Hanamura is voiced by Jun Fukuyama, a prolific voice actor probably best known for his role as Lelouch in the Code Geass franchise.

Hm hm hm... A pleasure to meet you.

Oh! Now that you come to mention it, we two still have yet to introduce ourselves. Please excuse my lateness!

My name is Sonia Nevermind.

Sonia Nevermind: Super High-school Level Princess

Sonia is voiced by Miho Arakawa, a newcomer to the voice acting scene who came to sudden fame after playing Himari in 2011’s Mawaru Penguindrum. Trivia: this is the second actress in the game script writer Kodaka asked for specifically. It seems he’s a bit of a Penguindrum fan. Honestly, you should be too.

I come from the small European country Novoselic. I came to Japan as an exchange student.

It is a pleasure to make your esteemed acquaintance! May we endeavour to maintain a lasting friendship!

Y... You too...

Pure white skin that looks like porcelain... Blue eyes like precious jewels... Sparkling golden hair...

She has the kind of appeal that makes you just want to keep looking at her, forever.

...Are you dazzled? I guess that's to be expected.

Sonia-san is a "Super High-school Level Princess". She's actual royalty.

Super High-school Level... Princess...?

Usually, I'd be surprised by something like that, but...

...For someone as beautiful and overflowing with grace as her, such a title doesn't seem at all out of place.

Um, this may seem a measure impudent... but... if I may be perfectly honest, that I am here pleases me a little.

Eh? It does? Why?

In my own country, I had not a single friend my own age who was my equal in status.

And so, for everyone to gather and partake in this group activity... It is a feeling most novel!

...I applaud you all!

Applaud...? Um, T... Thank you.

Somehow... I feel like I should kneel down before her.

Hope Shard Acquired

Hey, hey, you three. Are you trying to keep me out of your little group?

No... not at all...

It sure fits you to go straight to the restaurant, Hanamura-kun. Does it fit the expectations of a Super High-school Level Chef?

Heh heh heh... I'd be lying if I said it didn't.

And since I don't want to be a liar, I'll tell you the truth right here.

Yeah. It very much fits my expectations.

The urban mood of my home neighborhood Minato is fine, but this kind of rural atmosphere is also magnificent.

Hm hm hm hm!

Minato is a busy district in central Tokyo.

Hey, Hanamura...

Are you going to tell me how refined I am? Oh, you shouldn't!

That's not it... Aren't you worried about our situation?

Worried? What is there to be worried about? I am happy to be here.

Happy...? Why...?

This is serious business, so listen well.

Music halts

I’ve been keeping an eye on Pekoyama-san, and it seems she keeps her guard surprisingly down.

What do you think?

...Huh?

Re: Junk Food for a Dashing Youth

In all likelihood, it's a black thong. I'd like to hear your opinion.

This is a matter worthy of serious discussion.

Go ahead. You may begin.

...No, I think I'll pass.

Other than that, and this is also a bit unexpected...

That Sonia-san over there seems to be surprisingly naive.

I mean, aren't princesses supposed to have a certain level of common sense?

For example, if I tell her the lower part of my body got swollen by poison, and ask her to suck it out with her mouth...

Is that... what he was talking to her about before...?!

Music halts

...Excuse me, what are you discussing?

Oh, I will tell you all about it later!

Beautiful Ruin [Summer Salt]

...And we will stop you if we see it. Forcibly.

In any case, it seems there's a chance to broaden my horizons by living on this island. I'm looking forward to it.

After all, in both cooking and in love, passion is the most important thing! Hoh hoh hoh hoh!

This guy... is a different kind of dangerous.

[Rocker64]

This is really nice of you Pi! =D

So we have met everyone at this point, eh?

Curious what happens next. (And when the despair starts.)

 

[Nabber]

Thanks a ton, RY.

That said Yamada's successor is even worse than he is, if possible.

 

[Smashley]

So we have met everyone at this point, eh?

Might have missed something, but I think we still haven't met three or so people.

 

[Master Crash]

The update before this introduced the mafia guy, right?

 

[Smashley]

There was an update after that introducing Peko and Chiaki. Might want to ask RY to pm that to you.

 

[Lily x]

RY, you wouldn't do me a huge favour and pm Komaeda's face icon (Like the one you use as an avatar and appear next to the speach in the lp as I can't find one.) Thanks

 

[RandomYoshi]

Every requested PM has now been sent by yours truly.

And now that I've actually read the update a bit closer, just what the fuck is wrong with Teteru Hanamura?

Also Sonia is great.

EDIT:

So we have met everyone at this point, eh?

Might have missed something, but I think we still haven't met three or so people.

Yeah, we still have to meet Togami, the New Miss Fan-service, and That Person Who Dresses In Orange.

MORE EDIT:

For convenience, I've also decided to keep a list in the OP of every mirrored update I mirror in this thread.

FINAL EDIT:

I just realised that Chiaki's birthday is on the 14th of March, which is the Pi Day. It's just the beginning of the Let's Play and I'm already loving Chiaki to bits.



Because it didn't fit the character limit, I'll be making another post with the rest of it.

Spoiler: Update 9.1

Beautiful Ruin [Summer Salt]

There's nothing else to see at the hotel, so we'd better continue our exploration of the island.

Alright then.

This looks like a farm.

...And yet, there aren't many animals here.

Miss Monomi's Practice Lesson

Oopsie... You got me!

You again?! Where the hell do you keep coming out from?!

I am a vewy elusive bunny wabbit! I can appear anywhere and everywhere on this island!

It's all thanks to my Magical Stick!

"Magical Stick"... that ridiculous toy she's holding?

Oh, but this is indeed twoubling.

A farm without a cow is like a Japan representative who isn't Japanese.

That's a... strange comparison.

Okay! Stand back and leave it to my Magical Stick!

Welcome DANGAN IsLand!!

Wooo-eee-ooo...

Woo-woo-wee-wee-woo-wooooo...!

Chicken! Now! Become a cow!!

...Whaaaaaaa?!

Great success!!

Music halts

W...What was... Did you just...!

Turn... a chicken... into a cow...?!

Beautiful Ruin [Summer Salt]

No... I think it was just smoke and mirrors or some other kind of illusion. She probably had it prepared in advance.

I think it's her way of trying to make us happy. Looks like it had the opposite effect on you, though.

...Smoke and mirrors? An illusion?

W...Well, if I calm down and think about this rationally...

There's no way a chicken can just turn into a cow. It's a living being, after all!

I think the best way to deal with what just happened is to look at a sign.

"USAMI CORRAL"...
She's a rabbit, and yet she runs a farm.

...Nothing good will come of questioning this.

On closer look... it still looks like a perfectly normal cow.

But what kind of illusion can turn chickens to cows?

This bird looks like it belongs on a southern island... or does it? I'm not sure what's what anymore...

Yo! ...Who are you guys?

I haven't introduced myself yet... the name's Hajime Hinata.

Uh-huh. And you?

...Huh? We made our introductions on the beach earlier, didn't we?

Ha ha! Sorry, sorry.

I'm kinda useless with names. Never got the hang of 'em... and there's a lot to remember.

I'm Nagito Komaeda. Please try to remember me from now on, if possible...

Right! I'm Akane Owari! Nice t'meet ya!

Akane Owari: Super High-school Level Gymnast

Owari is voiced by Romi Park, joining the growing list of Persona voice actors in the Dangan Ronpa universe. She played Naoto in Persona 4.

Owari-san is a "Super High-school Level Gymnast". They say she's a super athlete.

According to rumors, she's difficult to deal with, but... her physical abilities, at least, are something to behold.

It's just that her foundations and basic techniques are all messed up. All she ever does is keep inventing her own personal moves.

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.

That sounds kinda selfish... She sounds more than "difficult" to deal with...

Still, though, if she's earned the title of "Super High-school Level Gymnast", she must have seriously impressed someone...

After all, she doesn't even look like a regular high school girl. Her body's more like that of a foreign athlete...

Hope Shard Acquired

Huh? Hinata-kun, are you, perhaps...

Oh, I see! You like that kind of... sensual body, don't you!

What the hell...! Not so loud! Are you doing that on purpose?!

What is this kid doing?

She's sitting on the ground, pushing her fingers into it enthusiastically...

H...Hey, do you have a second? We haven't introduced ourselves yet.

My name's Hajime Hinata...

Oh?

You wanna know my name? It's Hiyoko Saionji!

Hiyoko Saionji: Super High-school Level Classical Dancer

Saionji is voiced by Suzuko Mimori, who is fairly new in the Japanese voice actor scene. She's probably best known as the main character in a different mystery franchise, cute little girl detective Sherlock Sherinford in Tantei Opera Milky Holmes

One! Two! Three! Four! One! Two! Three! Four!

She just keeps pushing her fingers into the ground... Honestly, what is she doing?

And also... this kid's figure and voice... I wouldn't think they belonged to a high-school girl.

...Hiyoko Saionji-san's talent has won her the title of "Super High-school Level Classical Dancer".

She's a rising star in the Japanese classical dancing circles, and I heard she even regularly performs abroad.

They say her performances are attended by a surprisingly young crowd for Japanese classical dance shows.

Well, I guess most of the audience is male, though.

I'm sure that's because she looks like a cute little girl... I wouldn't be surprised if most of them weren't there just for the dancing.

One! Two! Three! Four! One! Two! Three! Four...!

Hey, what are you doing over there?

Oh? I'm squashing, see?

...Squashing?

The anties. I'm squashing the anties.

...Huh?

Heeheehee... When you press their bellies in the right spot, they make this great squishy sound!

Hey, big bro! Wanna do it together?!

W...Why would I do something like that!

Awww... Too bad.

Feh. Coward.

W...Where did that come from?! This... this is no "little girl".

[RandomYoshi]

Spoiler: Update 9.2

We're done with the farm, so let's move onward.

Hinata-kun... it seems this bridge crosses the sea and leads to a separate island.

Is it... going to be safe over there?

Isn’t finding out stuff like that the reason we’re exploring in the first place?

But... if we cross and it isn't safe, what does he intend to do...?

Another island to explore, huh? For variety's sake, let's head left this time.

More bridges.

There's a bridge over there, but it's blocked by a gate...

I think there's another island over there, but it seems we can't get to it.

Yeah, I guess not.

Aha, a place we can actually enter.

This looks like... a small park.

A park surrounded by the ocean...

Not a bad place, is it?

As easygoing as ever...
Well, if the situation was different, I think I could also enjoy lazing around in the sun at a place like this.

If the situation was different.

Level grinding in a visual novel. That’s... spectacular.

Eye-catching statue, isn't it?

It's a statue comprising several animals. Pretty large, too.

Wow! That's one magnificent statue, isn't it?

It is... but it's also a little creepy, don't you think?

Is it? I think it's pretty cool.

Packs quite a punch, doesn’t it? I'm sure it's a symbol of this island, or something.

It certainly does pack a punch.

A symbol... of this island, huh?

...What do you want?

Whoa... everything about this guy says “go away”... It's overwhelming.

...as is his physique.

Ah, Togami-kun... Do you mind if you two introduce yourselves?

...An introduction?

Go on, Hinata-kun.

Um, hi. My name is Hajime Hinata.

............

My name is Byakuya Togami.

Byakuya Togami: Super High-school Level Heir

Togami is voiced by Akira Ishida, a popular voice actor. He played Byakuya Togami in Dangan Ronpa.

...I'm done. You don't need anything else, do you?

Go away.

H...He... evidently thinks he's above all of us.

Yep, that's just what you’d expect from Togami-kun.

"What you’d expect"... What do you mean?

You see, even among all the Super High-school Level students in our class, he’s special.

He's heir to a financial giant - the Togami conglomerate. He’s been taught the secrets of leadership ever since he was very young.

Despite his age, he's already held a variety of management positions, and acquired a considerable fortune of his very own.

The title "Super High-school Level Heir" fits him to a tee, doesn't it? He’s really an exceptional high-school student.

It sounds like he’s more like... someone out of a manga story.

Oy. Did you say your name was Hinata...?

Eh?

I have a question for you. Why were you chosen to attend Hope's Peak Academy?

Tell me, right now. What’s your Super High-school Level specialty?

Um... That's a little...

...A...Actually, I don't remember.

You... don't remember?

It seems his mind's all in a mess due to the shock... His memory’s not quite back yet.

Feh. Truly a simpleton.

............

U...Um...

...This conversation is over. Do you intend to stand there much longer?

Move your body...! That is what you thin people do, isn't it?

...Let's go, Hinata-kun.

Yeah...

That... aura of inapproachability and overwhelming body...

...Is that what "leadership" is all about?

It looks like everyone managed to gather their vewy first set of Hope Shards!

Oh oh oh oh... this makes me so vewy happy...

And so, I have prepared special pwesents so that you can be happy too!

I am sorry for the twouble, but please gather up back at the beach.

Tee-hee! Let's make our hope shine together!

Beautiful Ruin [Summer Salt]

She said we should go back to the beach.

A...Are you sure it's alright...? I have a bad feeling about this.

It doesn't make much sense to just stand here and worry. Let's just go back to the beach and keep the worrying for later.

Shouldn't we at least... take more precautions?

This worries me... but it's not like I can be the only one who doesn't show up.

Spoiler: My reactions

Neat, we've now met every character there is to meet minus Monobear. I also am eager to find out what's going to happen on the beach.

 

[Revin]

Ehh, I don't really like this Togami that much. And the gymnast and the dancer are ok, I guess. Maybe my opinions on them will change as we get further into the game.

Fatogami makes it hard for me to remember skinny Togami.

 

[RandomYoshi]

Because of its length, I'll be splitting it up into three posts. Without further ado, here I go!

Spoiler: Update 10.1

Beautiful Ruin [Summer Salt]

Back on the first island, the beach is right past the bridge. We completed a full loop.

You two are the last ones here. What took you so long...?!

...Sorry to keep you waiting.

...Whatever.

More importantly, this is our chance to discuss the situation among ourselves before that Usami shows up.

Kya-ha! I love to talk!

Let's hear it. I want everyone's first impressions of this island.

There are several sealed off bridges on the central island. Why are they sealed? That worries me.

Oh! The gates are there to make sure we don't get lost!

Ibuki tried to find a way past them, and that bunny showed up and said so!

So we don't get lost...? Is this island... really that large?

Dunno ‘bout that... but all in all, s’not a bad island, is it? Feels like a tourist resort!

Not that I've ever been to one...

I found a biiiig farm!

Um... There's also a large supermarket... I think there was enough food and supplies over there.

The hotel’s also pretty fancy. If that’s where we’re staying, this won't be so bad.

The restaurant of the hotel was also satisfactory, though it had about it a quite... common manner.

Hey, I have something important to tell you.

You see, I found something very important on this island.

Really cute girls! Ha ha! They're everywhere!

Gyaaaaa! Gross! Ibuki's got icky prickly tickly goosebumps!

Clueless idiots, the lot of you... Not a single one of you made mention of a certain very important matter.

...Important matter?

I really am dealing with a bunch of simpletons. You’re telling me none of you noticed?

...What did you say, asshole? I recommend you quit being so full of yourself...

...Stop howling, you ignoramus.

...An important matter?

What could Togami be talking about? He got my attention, that's for sure.

Damn. If we want to see all the extra dialogue, it means I have 15 characters to go through one by one.

There’s only one important thing in this world...

...And that’s cute girls! How can there be anything more important?!

That Togami... He must be exaggerating...

Togami speaks too much, but Kuzuryuu gets angry too easily...

Why do boys always speak as if they can't wait to get into a fight?

Why are you looking at me...?

For such a large island to be so deserted...

What kind of place are we dealing with?

I hope whatever it is Togami found will be helpful...

An important matter, huh?! Sounds important!

Which is why you should dash straight to Byakuya-chan and force it out of him!

Of all the things to call that Togami character, she chose “Byakuya-chan”... That's actually kind of impressive.

From how Togami-san spoke, what he found must not be a good thing.

Everyone, quiet down!

U...!

I suddenly... couldn’t help but shut up. So, that's the power of royalty...

Me... an ignoramus...?

Uh oh. He's angry... Perhaps I’d better stay clear for now...

An important matter...

............

zzz... zzz...

......Ah. I fell asleep.

Don't just fall asleep! And how can you sleep at a time like this?!

I...I'm sorry! I didn't notice anything important!

I'm really really sorry... I'm sorry for being a useless ignoramus...!

That's... really not something to cry about.

Ku... Guy can speak, I'll give him that. Heirs, man... He sure is something.

Hey, hey, I don’t really get what you're saying, so, anyone mind if I go swim in the sea?

I don't think you should... Usami should be here any second.

Can't we get this over with, already?

...She isn't really with us, is she?

I wonder what big bro Togami found?

He sounds really excited about it, so I'm sure it's something really cool!

Tee-hee, I can't wait!

It seems everyone explored different parts of the island.

And, just like Usami said, there's nothing dangerous anywhere.

So... What could Togami-kun have found?

Hmhmhm... It seems the substantial one is more... observant... than I had surmised...

Oh? Do you know what he's talking about, Tanaka? What is it?

............

Such knowledge carries a... price... does it not? If you would seek it, you must offer something of value in exchange...

What could you possibly offer, insignificant one, that could satisfy me - a king-to-be?

...I think he doesn't know anything.

So, what's this important matter of yours?

Did you find some information about this island?

............

Did none of you cross the bridge and visit the park on the central island?

Are you talking about the park with that excessive statue... the one with all the creepy animals?

When I saw it, I recalled something I heard a while ago.

Among the islands of the pacific ocean, there is one famous for its scenic beauty. Its everlasting summer makes it a sort of paradise.

It's not actually a single island, but a group of five closely encircling a small central one.

Those five islands are represented by five sacred animals.

Eh...?

The name of this island is...

Music fades out

...Jabberwock Island.

Re: Despair Syndrome

So... could this island we're currently on be...

Jabberwock Island...?

Is that what's this island is called?

If that is indeed the case, then there is something that worries me.

According to what I've heard, Jabberwock Island is already...

............

...No, never mind.

Wait. You can't just stop in the middle like that.

Don't complain... After I investigate some more and confirm my thoughts, I'll tell you everything I know.

 

[RandomYoshi]

Spoiler: Update 10.2

Music fades out

Who even cares what this island's called? I mean, whether it's Niconico Island or Papuwa Island...

We're gonna be living here for a while either way, right?

Beautiful Ruin [Summer Salt]

Living together on a southern island sounds sooooo exciting! Ibuki's super looking forward to that!

That's right! No more school, either!

...H...Hey, why is everyone...?

Yeah! I like this island a lot!

...The people on it are a different matter.

Huh? Are my ears deceiving me?

It's true that some of this is worrying, but we shouldn't despair yet! This place isn't that bad!

There's no real danger here,and it seems we're free to do as we please... Why don't we try and make the best out of it?

Hey, what are you saying...? Try thinking rationally...!

We were all supposed to enroll at Hope's Peak Academy, weren't we? And now, we suddenly have to live on this island...?

This is strange, however you look at it!

...Be silent. Your fears have made you irrational... I suggest you take a moment to cool your head.

...Eh?

W...Well, it isn't like we have anywhere to escape to, even if we wanted to...

There's no boats... and there may as well be no planes, either.

Nor, as far as I can tell, is there any means of communication with the outside world.

Therefore, it will be difficult to call for help.

Can't we just swim back?

I can't swim that far...!

"CAN'T"?! WHERE'S YOUR SPIRIT?!

Hey, she's right - it's impossible!

S...So... we could cut some trees and make a raft...

Miss Monomi's Practice Lesson

You can't do that! I am vewy serious about that!

Remember our rules! They're in the guide to this field twip!

"Throwing garbage and damaging the environment is forbidden. Let's live in harmony with nature on this beautiful island."

See? All I wish is for you to live peacefully with your friends and the nature on this beautiful twopical island!

W...Why should we follow your rules?! We never agreed to that!

...I suggest you stop now. That bunny seems extremely obsessive about her rules.

There is a chance you are endangering the entire group by doing something foolish. Is that what you want?

I...I never said anything about any "danger"! I would never do such a thing!

Hinata-kun... I get how you feel, but I think you should calm down.

A...Anyway, it doesn't look like there's any danger unless we do something weird...

Also, as long as we raise those "Hope Shards", we'll be able to leave this island soon, won't we?

D...Do you really believe that...?

We have no choice but to believe it. At least for now.

............

Hey, Usami-chaaan! Didn't you mention some "pwesents" in that TV show of yours?

Oh, that's wight! Not that I forgot or anything, of course...

Wuv! Wuv! Here they are!

Don't rush! There's enough for everyone!

...............

What...?

Hee hee hee hee! It's my Usami Charms!

They speak if you push their belly!

"My name is Usami... Magical Girl Miwacle ★ Usami! I'm a tiny sweet milky girl!!"

Isn't that cute! Wuv! Wuv!

...They're worthless.

Awww.... Ibuki expected something good...

I'm ashamed at myself for looking forward to it!

Really? I think they're surprisingly cute. Especially how the ears look like rabbit ears...

Well, that's because I am a wabbit! I thought I made that vewy clear!

Nevertheless, a few seconds later every Usami strap was lying on the sand...

As expected, as soon as got them in our hands, we just threw them away.

Hey! Dirtying nature with garbage is pwohibited!

So you admit they're garbage!

Usami picked up the straps, crestfallen, and looked at us with a sad face.

Uu... I even prepared another pwesent... But you're all howwible children and I don't wanna give it to you anymore...

...Oh? There's something else?

Well, compared to the Usami Charms it's not such a big deal, but...

I prepared a "motive" for all of you.

A...A motive...?

That's wight. A "motive" for everyone to become fwiends.

As long as we're by the sea, I thought we should do something for the occasion.

...What is it? A welcoming party or something?

Bingo!

A festival? Is there going to be a mikoshi? How wonderful!

If you've ever been to a proper Japanese festival (a matsuri, if you will), you might have seen a mikoshi, which is a portable shrine carried around by local folk from a local shrine.

By the way, Sonia-san...

My lower body has gotten swollen by poison. It would be a great help if you could suck it out with your mouth!

Hey! Hanamura-kun!

Lower body. Understood!

Sonia-san! No! You don't understand at all!

If we're having a party on an island, there must be barbecue involved!

Ah, a campfire would be nice!

Let's go find some tsuchinoko... and kill them!

Tsuchinoko are legendary Japanese snake-like cryptids.

Isn't just finding them good enough?!
