Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here, the horror moments continue as more encounters with the giant insects continue to pile up…and more students would wound up splitting from their classmates…while others meet up with other kidnapped victims…
And now some of the students would get to meet up with others, forming a group while figuring out a way to survive the upcoming night…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 20: Yori ōku no karamiau shunkan
As the situation within the island became somewhat tense due to the various group of giant insects brawling against each other, Kyoko Kirigiri and Chihiro Fujisaki led the group towards any place that would shield them from further ambushes, and tagging along are Yui Sumidare and Komaru Naegi, and the four teens are running for their lives and are looking at every direction to make sure that they do not blindly go to any area that might lead them to any giant insects in their midst.
Kirigiri told her comrades to stick close to her and not look back while instructing them to be alert for anything so that they can react in case they encounter a giant insect that suddenly pops out of the blue should that scenario arises.
"Stick close to me and keep your eyes open."
"Right."
"Got it."
"Y-yeah…"
"We need to find a safe place to spend the night. We need to rest and produce rations. We need food to keep our energies up."
"Right."
"No problem."
"…"
The four teens kept on running as they traverse the forest and after some time they came across a cottage which appeared to be unmanned and there the SHSL Detective told her comrades to be ready in case someone there might be hostile, which they nodded.
"We found one."
"Kyoko…we need to make sure that if someone is there…he/she better not be hostile…"
"Sumidare is right, Kirigiri…"
"Um…is onii-chan really here in this island…?"
"Point taken. Onee-sama…look after Fujisaki and Komaru. /you two, stay close to her. I'll go take a look."
"Okay, Kyoko."
"Be careful, Kirigiri-san…"
"I want to go home…"
Carefully opening the door, Kirigiri sneaked inside and looked around to see if there is someone inside, and after a minute she concluded that no one is here and told the others that they can come in, and the four teens settled inside and locked the door, and they noted that there are rations here which are still fresh and consumable.
As Komaru sat on a chair getting a breath, Fujisaki checked a cabinet and saw some rifles and several boxes of bullets and told Kirigiri about it, and both Kirigiri and Sumidare checked them, and the older teen asked Kirigiri if she ever held a gun before, which the latter said she hasn't.
She said her grandfather told her not to since she is a detective and all, and there Sumidare tells her that she is going to have a crash course in using a rifle as a means of self-defense.
"Okay, Kyoko…you're going to have a lecture…"
"You're teaching me to use a gun…?"
"Yup."
"…"
"We need to survive in this forest…and we're the only ones capable to do that while protecting the other two."
"Point taken."
"Once we got the hang of it…well…"
"I see…"
Fujisaki and Komaru sweat-dropped as Sumidare tells them that they too will be taught on using weapons as they need something to protect themselves since they are facing giant insects, and the two teens just nodded, seeing that they don't have any choice on the matter.
"Um…right…"
"Eh? I'm going to use a gun…?"
"Guess it can't be helped…"
"But…but…"
"It's okay…we're up against giant insects, Komaru…so it's okay."
"R-really…?"
"Yes."
"…"
"…"

Elsewhere, the scene shows that Aoi Asahina and Sakura Ohgami are also on the run as they narrowly escaped from an attempted ambush by a pair of crickets, only for a giant mantis to appear and went after the locusts, triggering a brawl which the two classmates uses the chance to make a quick getaway and managed to get this far, stopping only to rest and regain some stamina.
Asahina wondered why this is happening to them and who brought them here in the first place who would do something this horrible, as she is sure that she has no enemies and asked Ohgami if she knows someone who would go this far.
Ohgami said she doesn't have any enemies and believe that their case is a random one but assured to her that they will find a way out of this strange island and bring Class 78 with them.
"You shouldn't be disheartened, Asahina."
"Eh…?"
"We will survive."
"R-really…?"
"Yes."
"Um…"
"Believe in me."
"O-okay…"
Suddenly two individuals happened to stumble by, and saw the two Hope's Peak students and Ohgami stared wide-eyed at seeing who they are as she recognized one of them. The two individuals turn out to be Aloysius Pennyworth and Kenichiro, and there the two martial artists are reunited as they hugged each other as they are relieved to see one another.
There the four talked and are equally surprised that they were coincidentally sent here by secret and are now stuck in this island inhabited by giant insects, and that someone intentionally ensure that none of them would have the means to escape the island.
"It appeared that this may or may not be a coincidence, Sakura."
"Really, Kenichiro?"
"Looks like it. For some reason we both got abducted and sent here on this island."
"You may have a point."
"For now we need to find a place to stay and survive the night. We need to rest and get some food. The rest of our classmates need help."
"I see…by the way…"
"Yes, Kenichiro?"
"You see…"
Soon Aoi is shocked when told that Yuta is also in this island and that he got separated from the other kidnapped victims and this caused the SHSL Swimmer to berate Kenichiro and Aloysius for abandoning Yuta, which the latter two apologize, seeing how distressed Aoi is.
However, Ohgami calmed her classmate down and assured that Yuta will be fine and nothing bad will happen to her, which Aoi is still distressed yet she was talked into calming down saying that things have a reason and believed that Yuta will be safe.
"Calm down, Asahina."
"But…but…"
"You're younger brother will be okay."
"Are you sure…?"
"Yes."
"But…but he's alone…he…he…"
"He'll be fine. By tomorrow we will find him."
"Sakura-chan…"
Aloysius said the same thing and promised that Yuta will be okay and suggested that they find a place to stay as it is almost nightfall which Kenichiro agreed, and he tells Ohgami that they need to get going before they encounter more complications that might lead to even bigger problems.
Ohgami nodded and the four individuals began to walk and looked around and see if they find something that may lead them to a temporary resting place in order to recover their stamina and plan things out on finding their fellow survivors.
Soon their trip led them to a cottage and Aloysius went to knock on the door and asked if they can come in, in which the person who answered turns out to be Sumidare, and she is relieved to see that he and Kenichiro are okay and she welcome them in, and in turn Kirigiri and Fujisaki are equally relieved to see Aoi and Ohgami are okay, and the four classmates asked how they are doing.
"Kirigiri-chan! Fujisaki-chan!"
"Asahina and Ohgami!"
"I see that you managed to find others…"
"Yes, and by coincidence we found you."
"It's good to see that you are okay. Come on in."
"Thanks."
"We need to rest and come up with a plan."
"Right."
It is now shown that the group increased in numbers as they are shown to be discussing plans on what to do next once morning arrives. This group now consists of the following persons, which are:
- Kyoko Kirigiri
- Chihiro Fujisaki
- Aoi Asahina
- Sakura Ohgami
- Yui Sumidare
- Komaru Naegi
- Aloysius Pennyworth
- Kenichiro

Meanwhile, the scene shifts elsewhere within the island, where Yuta Asahina is running for his life after encountering a giant grasshopper and narrowly evaded it but now he is being pursued and right now he is running non-stop for several minutes and is starting to lose some stamina and needed to rest, and soon a giant moth appeared and is eyeing Yuta as its next meal.
The 13-year old boy twitched his eyes as he felt that this could be his end and mentally said goodbye to Aoi as he felt he will not see his family again now that he is apparently cornered since the giant grasshopper is pursuing him.
"G-goodbye, onee-chan…"
By then someone grabbed him from behind and dragged him towards a thick bush and spoke to the younger boy, which the person turn out to be Enoshima herself as she tells him to stay still and stay hidden, saying that the two giant insects are about to cross paths and it is going to be quite an intense situation which requires that they stay out of plain sight.
"Easy, kid."
"Eh…?"
"You want to live?"
"Y-yeah…"
"Then stay hidden."
"Um…"
"A brawl is about to take place."
"Really…?"
By then the giant grasshopper arrived and saw the giant moth, and salivating from hunger, it went for the giant moth and the two giant insects began brawling in an effort to gain the advantage and there Enoshima tells Yuta that they will use this chance to get away and find a safe place to hide for the night as the sun is starting to set.
"Come on."
"Where are we going?"
"Away from here."
"Seriously?"
"Want to stay here and become bug food?"
"No way!"
"Then follow me."
"I won't argue on that…!"
Enoshima led Yuta away from the brawl as the two teens are running for their lives as they anticipate that more giant insects might show up and cause more problems and impede their chances of surviving and this takes precedence.
Yuta thanked Enoshima for the help, but she tells him they are not out of the woods yet, and said that once they find a place to stay for the night, then he can properly thank her, and the younger boy nodded, saying that at least he found a companion to spend some time with rather than spending the night alone, which Enoshima said that the feeling is mutual.
"Yeah, I guess having a companion is better than spending the night alone!"
"The feeling's the same!"
"So, how old are you?"
"Thirteen!"
"A middle schooler?"
"Yeah…"
"Guess it's fine. A fashion diva doesn't have to be picky in finding a boyfriend…"
"Fashion diva…? Wait…aren't you Enoshima…?"
To Be Continued…
Hope you liked this chapter, as it became tension-filled, as many of the Danganronpa characters end up splitting into groups due to scampering for safety due to the appearance of more giant insects.
So far Kirigiri is reunited with Yui, and there Komaru is tagging long as she learned that her elder brother is here as well, and Fujisaki is here along for the ride…and this time their group increased in numbers as Asahina and Ohgami found them along with Aloysius and Kenichiro, as they found a place to stay for the night…
Still Aoi is worried about Yuta upon finding out that he too is on this island and alone, but the others assured that he will be fine and will commence the search tomorrow…
Speaking of Yuta…he managed to find a companion in the form of Enoshima, which he is glad to have someone to help him, as she narrowly saved him and now the two teens are on the run…
Preview:
Enoshima takes the spotlight as she and Yuta gets to spend the night with him…and that's where the younger boy would get to…EXPERIENCE his FIRST EXPERIENCE with the SHSL Fashion Diva…
See you in six to eight weeks (probably by mid-August or early September)…
