But right now…an unexpected tragedy is about to take place…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 40: Mōningurasshu part 14
At the island, Kirigiri's group are traversing the forest and are now nearing the shore which the group are making sure that they do not run into another gauntlet of giant insects, and at the same time bracing themselves at the possibility of confronting Celestia as they are now aware of her traitorous actions.
In a sudden turn of events, Kirigiri's group unexpectedly meet up with Naegi's group, surprising them, and Komaru is overjoyed to see her elder brother, and Makoto is also overjoyed to see his younger sister safe and unharmed, and the two siblings hugged while expressing relief that both of them are safe, unharmed and joy.
"Onii-chan!"
"Komaru!"
"Onii-chan! Onii-chan!"
"Komaru! Thank goodness you're safe!"
"I'm so glad! I thought I...!"
"Don't worry. We'll leave this place and go home."
"Onii-chan…please don't get killed…"
"I won't. I promise…"
Kirigiri then spoke with Takaki Ishimaru where the police investigator shook hands with her as he is aware of the Kirigiri family's reputation as famous and respected family of detectives, and there both agreed that Celestia is someone to watch out for after realizing that she is not to be trusted, especially after Takaki was appalled when told how Chihiro was killed.
Taichi stared wide-eyed at hearing this, and held Kirigiri by her shoulders and shook her, demanding for an explanation about what she just said, causing Kiyotaka and Ohwada to hold him back while urging him to calm down, though the two teens were equally taken aback about hearing Chihiro's demise, and wanted to hear the full details from the SHSL Detective herself.
"What the hell…? Did you say Fujisaki was…?"
"This has to be…a joke…right…?"
"…"
"Hey…speak up…!"
"Calm down, Ohwada-kun…let her gather her thought and…"
"Its true. Chihiro Fujisaki was killed…"
"N-no way…"
"It…can't be…"
Aoi and Ohgami stepped forward and sadly told everyone the circumstances that led to the death of Chihiro, and Taichi knelt down and cried, devastated at hearing his child's death, lamented that he is unable to see him one last time, surprising everyone, and asked what Taichi meant as they told him that Chihiro was wearing a girl's school uniform.
Soon Taichi cleared everything up but they remained saddened about Chihiro's death, but Takaki urged everyone that they need to get going as they cannot afford to stay here any longer due to the threat of the giant insects lurking by, which everyone nodded in agreement, and decided to move on ahead in order to escape this island.
However, unbeknownst to everyone, Celestia is there, as she encountered a problem as the speedboat she hijacked earlier was BUSTED and can't be used to traverse the seas, and as she is pondering on what to do next, she saw the two groups and hid behind a thick tree, as she cannot let herself be seen after the two groups realized what she did to Chihiro.
Then an idea formed in her head as she brought out a rounded life preserver that she brought earlier and sneaked towards the group, and puts it over Komaru's upper body, restraining her and then carried her over her shoulder and ran off towards the forest, and Komaru screamed in terror, which made Makoto worried as he chased after Celestia.
"Komaru!"
"Onii-chan!"
"Komaru!"
"Onii-chan! Help!"
"Komaru!"
"Onii-chan! Help me!"
"Komaru!"
"Onii-chan!"
The rest also gives chase as they too are worried about what might happen if more giant insects showed up, and the chase led them back into the middle portion of the forest, and there Celestia threw the restrained Komaru in the middle of the path before escaping, leaving a crying Komaru behind, which Makoto and Maizono arrived a few moments later, and assured to Komaru that she is safe now.
"Komaru!"
"Its okay…"
"Wwwaaahhh!"
"There, there…"
"Its okay now…"
"Wwwaahhh! I thought I was going to die!"
"Don't worry…"
"You're safe now…"
"Wwwaaahh…!"
As the others came, they are relieved to see that the Naegi siblings and Maizono are safe, and there Taichi helped Komaru up, and expressed disbelief that Celestia would do something like this, but then something unexpected took place, as the group realized that they are surrounded by thick trees, which Ayaka and Satomi had a bad feeling about the current environment they are in.
"Satomi…I have a bad feeling about this…"
"Calm down, Ayaka..."
"But…"
"Stop hugging me like that…"
"But…but…"
"Get a grip, will you…?"
"…"
"…"
Suddenly sounds of leaves can be heard rustling, and there human-sized FIREFLY LARVAE, which about five of them, dropped from the high branches, and Taichi instinctively pushed Komaru and Makoto away, but the firefly larvae landed on Taichi and began to devour him, shocking Ayaka and Satomi, causing the two idol members to shriek in horror.
Ohwada grabbed a thick tree branch and uses it as a weapon to hit the giant firefly larvae while Ohgami and Kenishiro uses their martial arts skills to punch and kick the larvae away, and the rest joins in, using whatever objects they find and use them as weapons to knock the firefly larvae away, while Makoto had Komaru look away as he anticipate that she would freak out once the carnage is averted.
The group managed to remove the larvae and there Kirigiri uses a spray can and a lighter, making an improvised flamethrower and burned the firefly larvae to death, and after that she checked on Taichi, where Hiroko was solemn, which the SHSL Detective checked on him, where she stared in shock as Taichi is mortally wounded, as the firefly larvae have already teared away on his flesh, as his internal organs were ripped out and exposed.
"Hiroko-san…"
"Sorry…Taichi...he…"
"How is he…?"
"He…won't make it."
"…"
"There's nothing we can do…"
"…"
"…"
Hiroko sadly said that given that there are no hospitals here in this island, and with the gravity of his wounds, Taichi will expire in a few minutes, which Takaki and Kiyotaka were saddened and angered, as they couldn't believe what a selfish person Celestia is, and there Taichi told the others to go and escape, stating that he will join Chihiro shortly.
After that, Taichi passed away, and there the others are saddened, as an innocent life was taken away due to the actions of a selfish and arrogant person in the form of Celestia Ludenberg. The group made an improvised grave and buried Taichi Fujisaki, and after that, the group left, as they had no choice but to move forward and try escaping the island.
It was then that Kiyotaka realized something, as he told the others that they left the speedboat behind, and Ohwada then realized that Celestia might have used the distraction to steal the boats, alarming the rest of the group and this made them more infuriated as they realize that this is what Celestia did in order to steal the boats by using an innocent person as a disposable sacrifice.
"Ludenberg…that girl…!"
"The damn gothic bitch! She set this up!"
"I can't believe that girl!"
"She caused this just to steal a boat! The nerve of her!"
"I'm going to kill her!"
"Me too!"
"Everyone…calm down!"
"…"
Kirigiri clenched her fists as she couldn't believe that Celestia would stoop this low, and she led the group towards the scene where they last left, and upon arriving, they find out that one speedboat is missing and the other was set on fire, and though Ohwada attempted to put it out, Takaki held him back, telling the teen that the boat is already beyond repair.
Togami gritted his teeth as he couldn't believe that Celestia did this as it became clear that she would do anything to escape and leave her classmates to die, as she demonstrated how selfish she is and has no qualms about sacrificing others just to serve her purpose, and vowed that she will pay for the transgressions she committed earlier.
Aoi agreed and said that she is willing to beat Celestia up yet Takaki and Hiroko urged the teens to calm down as getting upset won't help, and said that right now they would have to think of another way to escape the island, which the teens reluctantly acknowledge, even though they were angered at what Celestia has done to them that resulted in the deaths of Yamada, Chihiro and Taichi.
"Okay…"
"Okay…"
"Okay…"
"Okay…"
"Okay…"
"Okay…"
"Okay…"
"Okay…"
-x-
The scene shifts at the shore where Celestia arrived as she is pushing the wheeled speedboat, which has several barrels of fuel, and there she is smirking as she believes that her classmates and the adults are busy with the giant firefly larvae, seemingly not minding that they would get killed in the process, and there she pushed it towards the waters and began to start the engine, and there she smirked as she is all set to escape the island.
"Hee-hee…free at last…"
After that, she sped away, not caring about what happens next, and did not notice that another boat arrived at the shore, where it shows that a huge ship is anchored at another distance at the other side of the shore, and there two sailors were dismayed at seeing Celestia leave, as they were hoping that they would ask her for help.
"Damn…"
"We just missed her…"
"There goes our chance to get help…"
"She looked like she's in a hurry…"
"Now what?"
"Well…"
"We need to do something…"
"Yeah, yeah…"
As the sailors are weighing in on what options they should take, they glanced at the forested area and they wondered if there are people there, which they hope that there are, as the sailors needed to get help no matter what, not knowing that Naegi and Kirigiri's groups are heading their way, which might give them hope in escaping the island.
"Say…"
"Huh?"
"Think there are people here?"
"Who knows…"
"Hopefully there are…we could…"
"And you think they could…?"
"Well…"
"Don't expect anything out of the blue…"
