Study Trip on an Uninhabited Island part 1 — 1

[gyaxa]

Shumai: Woof woof～♪

Raito: The deep blue sky and sea, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Yodaka: A calming sea breeze, and a lighthouse atop the peak… hm.

Renga: Look at how excited Shumai is. I’m sure he’s happy having all this space to run around—

—WAIT, WHERE EVEN ARE WE?!

Yukikaze: It looks like we arrived at some island while we were sleeping.

Kiroku: I slept… really well…

Muneuji: Mm. With how clear my mind is, I feel as though I could complete at least 50 pop quizzes right now.

Netaro: A perfect performance from my Ultra Super Healing Hypnotic Sound Waves ver 2.0.9! Quite a surprise appearance too.

Daniel: Gather round, guys! We’re gonna go over the training now.

Ten: Training, huh…

Liguang: On an island with not a single tourist or resident in sight?

Nayuki: Quite an astute observation. This is indeed an uninhabited island.

Yachiyo: Upipipipi, we’ll have you take part in a killing game…!!!

Sakujiro: We will not be doing that.

Chief: What you will be doing—

Conductors: Is a 5-day survival challenge on this island!

Everyone: Sur…
 

SURVIVAL…?!

Shumai: Baaaark?!

Kafka: Ahaha! I didn’t think you’d take it this far!

Nagi: Wait. Since this training mission was planned by HAMA Tours… wouldn’t that make the company president Kafka the mastermind behind this bloodbath death game?

Kafka: Survival game, you mean. I did ask them to organize this, but I only fixed the dates and the budget. I don’t actually know what we’ll be doing.

I’m one of the ward mayors this training is for, after all ♪

Tao: Tryna survive on an island kinda reminds me of our time in Monkey Cage… Maybe there’ll be some game-like aspects here too.

Akuta: Since we’re on an uninhabited island, we gotta give raft building a go, right?! Oh, oh, and we might get a surprise appearance from some undiscovered species, right?!

Daniel: Hey now, this is still training, 'kay?

Sakujiro: Kinouchi-san is correct in assuming that the missions will be carried out in a game-like manner. The aim is for you all to see further growth as ward mayors by completing them.

Ushio: But what does playing little games on an uninhabited island have to do with being a ward mayor? Not sure we can do any training if there’s no tourists.

Nayuki: That depends on how seriously you all take this training, which is why we'll be expecting your full participation, Kurama-kun.

For starters, let’s have you all break off into teams of two. Your badge should inform you of which you’re on.

There’s “Team Ocean”...

… And “Team Air”.

Daniel: Each team has a base area already set up for them. You’ll be using those as your base of operations for the next few days.
 

 

Chief: Right now, we’re in the “Lighthouse Area”. The two bases are located nearby!

Nanaki: Uh… so are we gonna have to figure out how to feed ourselves and stuff?

Sakujiro: Please do not fret; we’ve prepared the bare minimum of essentials for you all. However, should those water and canned goods not prove sufficient, you will indeed have to procure your own supplies.

Yachiyo: I had the honor of picking out the canned goods. They’re all my top picks…!!!

Daniel: Did we have anything else to cover?

Kinari: What is the purpose of the three different badges with the ward logomarks imprinted upon them that we have received?
 

 

Chief: Oh, great question, Kinari-kun!

Chihiro: Oh yeah! If they’re only to tell us what team we’re on, why’d ya give us three each?

Nayuki: The badges will be used for a scrimmage game.

Nagi: Scrimmage… So it really will be a bloodbath…

Chief: I-It won’t, I promise! It might get a little wild, though…

These are your main source of points for this challenge. Everyone will fight for points during the scrimmage, and whoever ends up with the most posts on the last day will be the winner!

Ten: This thing has winners?

Daniel: You get one point for your own badge and most of the others. But everyone has one other person’s badge as their bonus badge, and you get three points for that.

Chief: So… Say Toi-kun’s bonus badge was Ryui-kun’s. If he took Ryui-kun’s badge, he’d get three points—

Ryui: Then I’d hand all my badges over to Toi straight away.

Toi: Oh, Ani-sama…! Then I’d give you all of my badges.

Sakujiro: The name of whoever’s badge is your bonus badge is written in veeeeeeery small print on the reverse side of the badges, so please check them in private afterward.

Raito: So to sum it all up… we’re working as a team, but there will only be one victor at the end?

Akuta: Wait, so what happens if ya win?

Netaro: You receive half of Earth, perhaps~?

Chief: The winner will receive…
 

Drumroll please… a certificate of commendation!!!!

Kuguri & Ten & Ushio: …… Hm…

Chihiro: Wooahh! The three most lethargic guys here all at the same time!

Kinari: A noticeable drop in the vibes detected.

Raito: That sounds nice, doesn’t it? It’s hard to receive that sort of certificate once you enter the adult world.

Ushio: Not even a preschooler would be glad to get one nowadays, y’know.

Yukikaze: I’d gladly accept anything Chief gave me.

Nanaki: (I mean, I would too… but it’s just a certificate of commendation… but if it means Chief will write my name, then it’s totally worth it…)

Tao: Maybe something a little nicer would be good… don’t wanna be too pushy, though.

Akuta: Ooh, like money, or cash, or dough, or the budget for a whole movie covered!

Kuguri: I, for one, will be heading straight to bed as soon as I reach whatever base has been set up.

Ten: Oh, good idea~ How does taking it easy and doing some fishing sound, Prez?

Kafka: Mm, let me think…

Alright, then how about I grant any one wish to the victor?

Renga: A-Any?!

Akuta: WOWZERS!!

Nagi: Talk about benevolent.

Daniel: Woah, sir.

Kuguri: Hm… I’ll hold you to that.

Kafka: Of course, there are limits to what I can and am willing to do, in terms of ethics and such.

Ten: So could I ask for three months of paid leave?

Kafka: If you won, yes.

Netaro: My first step towards world domination could be just around the corner, then!

Chief: … Hm? Then what if you win, Kafka?

Kafka: I’ll have you grant my wish, then ♪

Chief: Huh?! I mean, I guess I can…

Nanaki: (?! T-That’s not fair…!)

Kafka: So how about it? Maybe this is a little more enticing?

Ushio: Hmph, you’re not gonna reel me in with something so—

(Wait, could he get that online-exclusive PatiBato merch that’s getting released soon for me…?)

Kiroku: (I’ve had my eye on this one artbook… But there’s no way I could win…)

Muneuji: It appears we’re all on the same page now.

Shumai: Woof!

Renga: Is that everything? So… we’ll spend five days doing survival activities as a team, while also scrimmaging for the badges… right?

Nayuki: That is correct. However, there is one thing we haven’t covered yet.

In order to encourage more contesting for the badges, there will be one team vs team battle each day.

Yukikaze: Team battles… If there’s one a day, then…

Yodaka: Is there one today, perhaps?

Nayuki: Of course. It’s already started, in fact.

Tao: Huh?!

Yachiyo: Here, Chief. The trumpet shell…!

Daniel: Woah, you actually brought that thing?

Chief: Wait, I’m doing it?

Sakujiro: Make sure you breathe in from your abdomen to get a nice sustained sound, Chief.

Chief: O-Okay… Got it! Here I go!

Huff…

*HONK*

Nayuki: Battle 1!!
