Ch. 37: Mōningurasshu part 11
The next scene shows that Kirigiri's group are now getting ready to take the risks and venture out through the forest as they have armed themselves with improvised weapons while making sure when to back off if things get too intense, and their two objectives are to find other survivors and find a way to escape the island.
This group currently consists of the following persons, which are:
- Kyoko Kirigiri
- Chihiro Fujisaki
- Aoi Asahina
- Sakura Ohgami
- Yui Sumidare
- Komaru Naegi
- Aloysius Pennyworth
- Kenichiro
- Celestia Ludenberg
The group are venturing within the forest and are keeping their eyes open for possible ambush as they have no idea what awaits them and what kind of insect they are about to face given that most insects they encountered are of giant size, and they are aware that once caught there is a slim to almost zero chance of escaping and that would mean instant death if caught.
Kirigiri told the others to stick close together and not stray, as they need one another in order to survive, find their fellow survivors and safely escape the island, which the rest, save for Celestia, nodded in acknowledgement, trusting the SHSL Detective, as her judgment helped them survive up to this time.
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Okay."
Celestia was annoyed yet she had to bide her time as she couldn't arouse suspicion as she intend to escape this island by herself, and if the others find out that she left Yamada to die the others would be wary towards her, hence Celestia had to ride along with Kirigiri and the others for the time being.
As the group continue their trek, Sumidare asked Kirigiri what is bothering her, noticing how wary she is facially displaying, and there Kirigiri stealthily told Sumidare that she is suspicious towards Celestia, especially after the SHSL Gambler claimed that she saw Yamada defending her from the giant insects, saying that the SHSL Doujin Writer took down two giant insects before telling Celestia to run for it, which Kirigiri finds it suspicious.
"And that's what my gut tells me."
"Really, Kyoko?"
"For now."
"…"
"So you think there's a chance that Ludenberg would betray us?"
"I wish that scenario would not happen…but there's a possibility…"
"…"
"…"
Kirigiri told Sumidare to be wary towards Celestia as she has a feeling that the SHSL Gambler may have an ulterior motive and she may plan to do something that may jeopardize everyone here, which Sumidare nodded as she got the drift and will not let her guard done should Celestia tries to swoon her with flattery and stuff.
"Okay. I get the drift."
"Keep your eyes peeled. And try not to make yourself obvious."
"Okay."
"If Ludenberg makes a suspicious move, let me know."
"Understood."
"We have to make sure she doesn't do something to jeopardize everyone."
"I get you."
"…"
As the group continue their trek, they came across an abandoned speedboat which has two rear wheels, and as Chihiro checked the speedboat, she finds it that it was large enough to fit at least ten people, and while this sounds like good news, Komaru is worried that her elder brother has not been found yet.
Kirigiri comforted the younger Naegi and assured to her that her brother is safe and for now escaping the island is more important as her and everyone's safety is the number one priority at the moment, which Komaru reluctantly acknowledged, as she wanted to go home to the mainland.
"Okay. I get the drift."
"Good. Be patient. I am sure that your brother is safe."
"Okay."
"In the event that your elder brother is found, I will let you know."
"Understood."
"But please understand, we have to make sure that we shouldn't act rashly or do something to jeopardize everyone."
"I get you."
"…"
Aloysius helped Chihiro check the speedboat and find out that the fuel inside the speedboat may be enough to take them to the next island, as it is not enough for a long travel, which Kirigiri is not thrilled with what she just heard, given that they are in an island that is very far from the mainland, and that she is unsure if there is a nearby island that might have some facilities that would provide some fuel.
Kirigiri then asked Aloysius if there are any other speedboat around here, or if there are any barrels that contain fuel, which he said that he would look around and see if there are any, as he finds it slightly lucky to see a speedboat here so suddenly.
"I see."
"I go look around."
"Okay."
"If I find one I will let you know."
"Okay. Just be careful."
"I will alert you if I happen to see a giant insect lurking."
"Fine."
"Okay, off I go."
As the rest ponder on what their next move be, Celestia stealthily left and looked around, as she is looking for a way to distract the group and then steal the speedboat for herself so she can escape the island without anyone holding her back, which is due to her selfish nature, and there she saw a giant Saddleback Caterpillar, which she grinned as she sees this as an opportunity to use the giant caterpillar to her advantage.
Using a perfume bottle in her possession, she sprayed it in the air, which attracted the Saddleback Caterpillar, and there Celestia secretly lured it towards the area where Kirigiri and the others are, and there she saw a few more giant caterpillars, which includes:
- Puss Caterpillar
- Smeared Dagger Caterpillar
- Laurelcherry Smoky Moth Caterpillar
Celestia then saw Aloysius and Chihiro looking for a barrel of fuel, and there she stealthily led the three giant caterpillar towards the two, and then she hid herself away so that the two unfortunate victims would not know who sent the giant caterpillar at them.
By then Aloysius was taken by surprise at seeing the three giant caterpillars, as they are now ready to lounge onto their prey in sight, but Chihiro bravely pushed Aloysius out of the way and told him to warn the others of the impending danger, much to Aloysius' horror, as Chihiro is about to be attacked by the three giant caterpillars.
"Chihiro-kun!"
"Hurry! Go warn the others!"
"But…"
"Hurry! Go!"
"Chihiro-kun!"
"Just go!"
"…"
"AAAAIIIIEEE!"
Aloysius then shouted for help, which alerted the others and they went to where Aloysius is and there Komaru screamed in horror as the three giant caterpillars attacked Chihiro, and this prompted Ohgami to pick up a metallic shrapnel she found and went to one of the caterpillars and jabbed it onto the eye, blinding it and caused it to back away in pain.
Ohgami did the same to the other, and then the third one, which the three giant caterpillars were swinging wildly in pain, as Aoi and Kenichiro pulled a wounded Chihiro away, and as Sumidare checked on Chihiro, she saw that 80% of his body have open wounds and is bleeding heavily and profusely, but then realized that the hairy spines of the caterpillars are highly poisonous due to its size, and there the effects became apparent as Chihiro began to show signs of the caterpillars' poisonous spines' effects:
- Asthma
- Stomachache
- Internal bleeding
- Difficulty in breathing
As the rest sprayed the spray can and lighter it produced a improvised flamethrower and burned the three giant caterpillars which harmed them somewhat and causing the three giant caterpillars to flee, and as they checked on Chihiro, Aloysius was concerned and there Sumidare realized the gravity of the situation, as Chihiro won't make it due to the magnified effects of the caterpillar poisons, along with several deep open wounds band severe blood loss and blood clots, and solemnly told Kirigiri that Chihiro is going to die in a painful way.
"What…?"
"I'm sorry, Kyoko...there's nothing we can do."
"…"
"Fujisaki can't be saved."
"…"
"The spines of the caterpillars are magnified in size, hence the poisons are magnified as well. Its effects are three times more toxic, and since there are no hospitals or pharmacy… "
"…"
"…"
Aoi stared wide-eyed in disbelief at hearing this, and there they saw Chihiro convulsing as the effects of the caterpillar poisons are taking effect, and being that they are at an island with no hospital and pharmacy, Chihiro couldn't be saved, and within a few minutes Chihiro passed away, with Aoi wailing as Ohgami comforted her classmate.
The rest were saddened, but then they noticed that Celestia is nowhere to seen, and worsening matters is that the speedboat is now gone, and little by little, everyone began to suspect that something is amiss especially after getting the scent of a perfume, which Ohgami said that she noticed it after Celestia uses it on herself, and then just now she could smell the perfume around the area where the three giant caterpillars appeared.
It didn't take long for everyone to realize that Celestia set this up so as to use the distraction to steal the speedboat and flee the scene, and Aoi was outraged at Celestia's selfishness that led to Chihiro's tragic death, and Kirigiri then deduces that Yamada's supposed sacrifice is a sham and believe that Celestia sacrificed him intentionally.
"It appears that what Celestia said about Yamada is a fabricated statement…"
"That means that Celestia has…"
"That girl…so she sacrificed one of her classmates earlier…"
"And now she sacrificed Fujisaki...I'm going to kill her!"
"Asahina…calm down…!"
"She is so selfish…"
"How despicable…"
"Kyoko…?"
Kirigiri is mentally frustrated as she didn't anticipate that something like this would happen, but then Sumidare found some abandoned tools like some shovels, and there they all decided to bury Chihiro's body and gave her an impromptu eulogy and funeral, as they dug a grave and buried Chihiro's body.
By then Kenichiro accidentally saw another abandoned speedboat not far from their current position, and everyone checked on it and find out that it can accommodate at least 13 people, and checking the fuselage, Aloysius told Kirigiri that the fuel tank is quite full, though it may not be enough to take them to the mainland, which Kirigiri said that it might be enough for them to escape this island.
"Are you sure it would be enough?"
"For now. At least it would be enough to get us out of this island."
"I see…"
"We should get going. See if there are other items that might help us."
"Okay."
"And after that we head for the shoreline and start the speedboat."
"Roger that."
"…"
After that, everyone began to push the speedboat as they are now heading to the shoreline in order to get the speedboat working and escape the island before another batch of giant insects might show up unexpectedly and thus the group cannot afford to waste any more time.
To Be Continued…
