But right now…an unexpected situation is about to take place…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 42: Kurūzu-sen ni mukatte isogu part 2
The scene shifts at the shore where the two sailors led the Hope's Peak Academy survivors and showed them the path towards the ship that was anchored that was quite far from the shore, where most of the students are still saddened by what happened minutes ago in which Kiyotaka Ishimaru was killed after being partially eaten alive by three giant Garden Centipedes.
The students' morale are starting to shake as they were reminded of what happened to Hifumi Yamada, Chihiro Fujisaki and Taichi Fujisaki, who were also killed by the giant insects, though this is due to the selfish actions of Celestia Ludenberg, as she sacrificed them just to steal a speedboat and escape the island all by herself with no regards to her classmates.
"Damn it…"
"This sucks…"
"The Fujisaki family got killed…"
"And Yamada..."
"That Ludenberg…she's at fault…"
"I hate her…"
"Me too…"
"She better not show her face…"
As the group continue to march, the sailors soon found the ship, and pointed at the scene, where Makoto uses a binocular to get a closer look, only to be taken aback at seeing what the sailors meant after telling them the reason why the sailors were looking for help, as the scene shows that a GIGANTIC centipede is wrapping itself around the ship.
He told his fellow Hope's Peak Academy survivors about this and they took turns in using the binoculars and they too are taken aback at what they saw, and couldn't believe what they are seeing and wondered if they are going to escape the island after seeing the size of the giant centipede, seeing that getting that giant arthropod off would be no easy task.
"No way…"
"A GIGANTIC centipede…"
"And its curling around the ship…"
"Damn…it's huge…"
"Are we going to fight that thing…?"
"I want to get out of here!"
"Stop acting like a chicken, Yasuhiro!"
"This is a problem…"
Kenichiro thought of getting the giant centipede's attention and lure it away from the ship and lead it towards the island, then use the opportunity to see if the ship suffered any damages, which Kirigiri and Sumidare agreed to the idea, but then asked who would volunteer for that particular task, as most of the survivors are not physically strong other than Ohgami and Kenichiro, though the latter has a heart ailment that would impede certain physical activity.
There Ohwada and Yukimaru stepped forward and volunteered to do the task which Kirigiri tells them the risks and danger it involves, but the two boys assured to the SHSL Detective that they know what they're getting into and promised to come back once they got rid of the giant centipede so that they can all go home to the mainland.
"Are you two aware of what's at stake here…?"
"Yup."
"We do."
"Then do what you think would work. Just be careful."
"We will."
"Leave it to us."
"Once you manage to give that giant centipede a slip, either head back here or we will meet up with you."
"Okay."
"Got it."
Nodding, Kirigiri came up with an idea and instructed Ohwada and Yukimaru on what to do, which the two boys nodded as they head back towards the area where they left the speedboat, and boarded it where they head towards the ship where the two boys saw the giant centipede curling itself around the ship, which Yukimaru is somewhat taken aback.
However, Ohwada told his right-hand man not to get chickened out as all they have to do is get the giant centipede's attention and lure it away from the ship and led it somewhere to distract it before trying to lose it, which Yukimaru slowly regain his wits and nodded in acknowledgement after receiving encouragement from the SHSL Biker.
"Just stay sharp and not get jittered, Yukimaru."
"Okay, boss."
"All we have to do is lead that thing away from the ship."
"Okay, boss."
"And once we lure it and have it placed at a place where it can't chase, we head back to the others."
"Okay, boss."
"You ready?"
"Ready, boss."
Bracing himself, he brought out a canned spray of perfume, where Yukimaru sprayed it onto the ship, slowly getting the giant centipede's attention and there the giant arthropod shifts its attention, where Ohwada tells Yukimaru to hold on tight as they are going full throttle as they are going to lead a chase to get the giant centipede away from the ship.
"Hold on tight, Yukimaru."
"Okay, boss."
"This will be one heck of a ride! What we're going to do is to lead that thing away from the ship."
"Okay, boss."
"And we're going to make sure it won't follow us back to the shore!"
"Okay, boss."
"You ready?"
"Ready, boss."
As Ohwada toggles the throttle of the speedboat, he and Yukimaru drives away, and the giant centipede began to chase the speedboat as Ohwada led it towards the open sea as they intend to make the giant centipede go to the deep part of the ocean, as, according to Sumidare, a centipede may not survive being underwater for too long, and given the arthropod's current, massive size, it may not be able to move upward if the ocean's currents are strong enough to pull the giant centipede downward, hence raising the chance that it might drown it.
Yukimaru asked if this plan would work, which the SHSL Biker said that he is putting his trust in Sumidare and tells him to time the situation as they are going to go around the deep part of the ocean to see if the giant centipede would be capable of staying afloat, as they are going to see to it that the giant centipede drowns so as to enable their fellow survivors to start the ship and sail towards the mainland.
"Just stay sharp and observe that giant critter, Yukimaru."
"Okay, boss."
"All we have to do is have that thing follow us towards the middle of the seas."
"Okay, boss."
"And once we lure it and have it placed at a place where it can't chase, we head back to the others."
"Okay, boss."
"You ready?"
"Ready, boss."
-x-
Back at the shore, Kirigiri and Sumidare saw that Ohwada and Yukimaru have lured the giant centipede away from the ship, and there the two female detectives told the rest that they are going to use this chance and head for the ship, and see if it is capable of moving once they check the engines if it is still operable or damaged beyond repair.
Kirigiri told her fellow survivors that they are going now and must not let Ohwada and Yukimaru's efforts go to waste as they sacrificed themselves to enable the others to get to the ship, and said that once the ship is operational they will fetch Ohwada and Yukimaru, then return to the mainland, which the rest nodded in agreement.
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
After that, the group and the two sailors went towards the other side of the shore, and there they find a boat that is large enough to fit the survivors, and paddled their way towards the anchored ship, where a roped ladder is already hoisted, which one by one they climbed the roped ladder and everyone is on board, and there the sailors went to the engine room to check the engines.
Kirigiri told the rest to survey the ship for supplies and everything else, as time is now crucial which the rest nodded in acknowledgement.
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
Takaki and Togami checked the rest and found at least three pairs of barrels containing fuel, and a few explosives, while at the same time found weapons like firearms and the such, and there the SHSL Heir tells Aloysius to go and ask the sailors if the ship is ready to sail or not, which the butler of the Togami family nodded in acknowledgement.
"Aloysius…"
"Yes, master?"
"Go ask those two sailors if this ship is capable of sailing."
"Yes, master."
"We need to know in order to plan out our next move."
"Yes, master."
"Good. Go."
"At once."
Hiroko went to a room and found several first aid kits, and went to collect them so as to have them ready in case they encountered a situation that might result in injuries, but then saw her son rummaging some cabinets to search for some loose cash like coins and paper bills, which she is dismayed and smacked her son on the head and told him to focus in getting ready to have the ship sailing.
"Yasuhiro!"
"Ow!"
"Knock it off already!"
"But…"
"We need to get the supplies ready!"
"But, mama…"
"Now."
"Damn…"
At another room, Makoto, Komaru and Maizono found a map and a compass, which they surveyed them and there the siblings bicker as Komaru insisted that they get the ship moving so that they can use the compass, but Makoto told her to be patient as the sailors are checking if the engines are operational or not.
Maizono giggled staying that she wished that she has a sibling as she revealed that she is an only child, and there Komaru tells Maizono that she can be a SIBLING-IN-LAW to the Naegi family if Maizono marries Makoto, causing him and Maizono to blush in embarrassment, which Makoto tells Komaru to stop teasing him and Maizono.
This scene earned the ire of Satomi, and she accuses Makoto of tricking Komaru into insinuating things, which Ayaka had to calm her fellow Idol member down and assured to her that Makoto is a kind boy, which Satomi refused to believe, as she felt that Makoto could be a bad influence to Maizono and he plans on SEDUCING the SHSL Idol.
"So now you got jinxed by that boy!"
"That's not true, Satomi…"
"You saw it just now…that boy tricked his younger sister to make comments that would make Sayaka get SEDUCED to that boy…!"
"I think you misunderstood…"
"How can you say that…?"
"Well…"
"Don't tell me that boy corrupted you…"
"What? You're wrong, Satomi!"
