This world has always been so cold
All the people here seem to be getting worse as time goes by
Bringing ourselves to our own downfall
Maybe this is the way it's supposed to be
Kinda funny it's come to this
Right Akira
This is what the world has brought itself too.
Akira
Akira
It's time for you to fulfill your purpose.
Akira
You need to open your eyes now.
.  .  .

I woke up and I was supposedly in a classroom.

Akira
.  .  .

Akira
W-w-who w-was t-t-that?

Akira
That dream seemed important.
Maybe it meant something?
Can't think of that right now, I'm already confused...
don't need to make it worse by confusing myself more.

My eyes were still adjusting to the light, but as I looked around I couldn't find anything familiar looking.

Akira
.  .  .

Akira
I'm in a classroom?
This classroom doesn't look like any classroom I have seen before.

Akira
.  .  .

Akira
W-w-where a-am I?

I tried to ask hoping to get an answer

Akira
.  .  .

But no answer came
The only answer I got was a sudden stabbing pain in the side of my head.

Akira
My head is pounding, did I get up too fast?
I normally get headaches, but never this bad

I moved my hand to my temple to try and ease the pain shooting through my head.

Akira
O-oww..
   
The pain was almost blinding, when the worst of it passed it took a moment to look around the room.
It was very weathered the chalkboard looks very cracked probably from years of neglect.
The door was locked.
It seemed like whoever put me here didn't want me to leave.
I seemed to be the only person in this classroom besides the girl sitting over there in the back. Is she going to wake up anytime soon?
There are barbwires on the windows you can barely see anything outside.

Akira
T-t-this i-is s-s-strange...

Akira
Maybe this girl here knows something about what the hell is going on.
Might as well go and wake her up.

Taking slow steps across the room I went to tap her shoulder.
Tap.
tap.
tap.

Tayaka
Hm?...

When I tapped her shoulder she opened one of her eyes to peer over at me and then...

Tayaka
Ahh?!

Looking absolutely terrified she jumped out of the desk she was in and in a single halting motion she was in a fighting stance.

Akira
.  .  .

Akira
I didn't expect her to react like that.
Maybe she's confused too?

She looked at me for a moment processing the things around her before her posture relaxed... Slightly...
Her eyes turned back to me and she looked as confused as I felt.

Tayaka
Sorry about that, reflexes ya know?

Tayaka
Hey..are you the one who put me here?

Her posture changed into a defensive one in an instant and her death glare was back just as intense as the first time.
I nervously pulled up my mask trying to think of a response that wouldn't make her even more uneasy.

Akira
N-no, I-I h-h-have n-no i-idea where I am either...

I pulled my hat down trying to hide more of my face.

Tayaka
.  .  .

Tayaka
I couldn't quite hear that.

She said taking a step towards me seemingly relaxing a bit.

Tayaka
Sorry for accusing you, you seem confused as well..

Akira
.  .  .

Tayaka
Let's just work together to try and figure out what's going on ok?

She held out her hand to me.
I looked up cautiously, careful of all my movements and looked at her hand.

Akira
O... Ok...

Tayaka
Good...

She smiled and I hesitantly shook her hand.

Tayaka
Now that that's out of the way...
We should find out where we are.

Akira
I-It s-seems t-t-they don't want u-us to g-get outside s-s-seeing a-as the w-windows are c-c-covered in b-barbed wire.

I walked over to the door and tried the handle only to find it was locked.

Tayaka
Yeah, that is a bit odd...

Akira
I-I w-wonder what t-t-they e-expect u-us to d-d-do in t-this c-c-classroom?
C-Cause t-t-the door w-w-won't b-budge and t-the windows a-are s-s-seemingly n-not a g-g-great w-way to e-escape unless y-y-you w-want to be cut up like a r-r-ribbon.
N-not the b-best w-

A letter fell off what seemed to be a chalkboard cutting my thoughts short.
Almost immediately I walked over to the cracked and weathered chalkboard and picked up the letter that was now on the floor.
When I grabbed the paper the door clicked and seemed to unlock.

Heyo Ultimate Students,
nice to see you have finally woken up~
Meet in the gymnasium for orientation
Good luck ultimates
-Shi Tenshi-

The other girl looked at me curiously.
I read the letter quickly and handed it to her.

Akira
I-It s-says t-t-that we a-are n-n-needed i-in t-t-the g-gymnasium.
A-a-and s-seeing a-as the d-d-door un-unlocked w-whoever is k-k-keeping us h-here w-w-wants us to f-follow these i-instructions a-a-and go t-to the g-g-gym.

Akira
I-If t-t-there is a-a g-gym, t-t-then it c-could be p-possible t-t-that we a-are t-trapped in a-a s-s-school...

Tayaka
So... You're an ultimate student too?

Akira
Y-yeah...

Tayaka
I thought I was the only one.
Well, might as well introduce myself because we are going to have to work together, partner.

She paused seeming to put some thought into what she was going to say next..

Tayaka
I'm Tayaka Yuuki, the Ultimate Musician.

Akira
I... I'm A-Akira Y-Yumeno, the u-ultimate p-p-poet...

Tayaka
Alright, Nice to meet you Yumeno-san.
Let's go find the gym to see what the hell is going on here.

She said walking over to the door.
I sighed knowing I had to tag along.
I took steps trying to keep my pace fast enough so I could keep up with her still staying behind her.

Akira (thought)
Why do I have to be trapped here?
I'm not special.
And why is she so talkative...
What a waste...

Tayaka
Be cautious, we don't know what lies ahead of us, so you watch the back, I'll take the front.

Akira
A-alright.

Akira
Her presence is making me feel nervous.
I'm not sure if I can trust what she says yet...
But if we are in the same situation it would be best to cooperate.

We started walking out of the room after sliding the door open.
Yuuki-san was in the front while I walked behind her making sure to keep a distance between us.
The hall was very heavy in vines and cracks.
It seemed as though they just let nature consume the school.

Akira
Where are we even going?
What if she is leading me-
I shouldn't think like that...
I should be glad she is helping someone like me.
Why is she doing this for me?

Tayaka
Where do you think the gym would be?

Akira
G-g-good questio-

I was cut off by a noise coming from behind us.

Akira
What is that-

We turned around to see a red light glowing in the distance.

Tayaka
What's...
that..?

Akira
I'm n-not sure, but i-i-it may be w-w-wise to g-get away f-f-from the t-thing that seems t-to be m-m-moving t-towards us.

Tayaka
Sounds good.
Let's get a move on.

Yuuki-san grabbed my hand and started running through the halls.
I blushed at the sudden touch but quickly hid the blush and pulled my hat down while being dragged.
There was a door at the end of the 3 halls they had come across while running away from the unknown thing coming from behind us.

Tayaka
That must be it!

I didn't bother responding because I was too out of breath.
BAM
BAM
BAM!
The thing was getting closer.
Yuuki-san grabbed the handle of the door and shoved it open.
Yuuki-san pushed me into the room first and threw herself in after.
She slammed the door shut gasping a bit when it closed.
Stumbling to the ground, Yuuki-san struggling to hold the door closed breathing harsh and ragged.
Looking around the room there were 14 other people who seemed to be high school students.
Yuuki-san got her composure back and looked at each of the students.

Tayaka
Who are you?...
And what is this place?...

Zazume
And that makes 16.

Tayaka
Hm?

Zazume
You guys are the 15th and 16th students to show up here with no memory of why you are here.

Akira
S-so there a-a-are 16 o-of us?
I w-wonder i-i-if this n-number h-has any m-m-meaning?

I muttered under my breath.

Shinji
We all came here after getting this note.

When she presented a similar note to the one we had received before the others pulled out their notes that they had previously received as well.

Akira
.  .  .

Anashi
Why are we all gathered here?

Sora
I'm assuming from the note we are all ultimates.

Anashi
.  .  .

Sora
So with that information, I think I can say that people must have wanted us for our talents and have trapped us here.

Anashi
Trapped here?!

Sora
Yeah cause it seems like the windows were covered in barbed wire earlier...

Akira
Y-Y-yeah me and Y-Yuuki-san s-saw that as w-well.

Anashi
We are really trapped here?!

Sora
Oh you probably didn't notice because you are not one to be able to put things together in your head!

Anashi
What did you just say to me?!!

Sora
I was just telling the truth.
And the truth is that you are mentally retarted.

Isaki
Your deduction is not wrong...

Shinji
He was the only one who didn't know that from the start...

Akira
They seem to all be targeting him...
It must be because of the situation we are in...

Anashi
I AM NOT STUPID!!

Sora
This is exactly what I would expect a dumbass to say!

Ishimoto
Hey guys I don't want anyone to get hurt...
if you guys get in a fight...

Anashi
Stay out of this!
This pest needs to understand who her superiors are!!

Sora
Oh you're superior to me! Like hell you are!!

Yuuki-san had enough with the noise.

Tayaka
That's Enough!!

The other students were silent and turned to Yuuki-san from the sudden loud noise.

Tayaka
You all better shut the hell up and learn to communicate!
Seeing as yelling and screaming at each other is getting nothing don-

She was cut off by a girl landing on the stage in the gymnasium.

Shi Tenshi
Upupupu, heyo ultimate students welcome to your new life of killing here at the Academy of Ultimates!

Hachi
What do you mean new life?

Mozomo
Yeah, what is the significance of this?

Shi Tenshi
You will all be participating in a killing game here at the Academy of Ultimates.

Shinji
Why would we kill each other it doesn't make any sens-

Shi Tenshi
Well if you give me time to explain I will tell you, so will you all shut the hell up!!

We all went silent startled and tried to process what was just said.

Shinji
But-

Shi Tenshi
SHUT THE HELL UP!!
Thank you.
While I'm talking if I get interrupted again you will all get punished!!!

A switch was pulled setting off a spike trap that stabbed into the bleachers on the side of the room making gasps echo throughout the room.

Shi Tenshi
And if any of you bastards would like to have the same fate speak up!!
Seeing as no one is talking I can begin.
Let's start with the school rules, shall we!
First off, you all must live at the Academy of Ultimates for the remainder of your foreseeable future.
Meaning you will be here for a while so might as well get comfortable.
Second, once a murder takes place, all the surviving students must participate in a class trial.
If you decide to not show up you will be punished.
When a murder happens a "body discovery" will be played if 3 or more students have located a dead body.
Third, if the blackened or the person who committed the murder is exposed during the class trial, they alone will be executed.
If the blackened is not exposed or confused for another un-blackened student, all the remaining students will be executed.
If this happens, then the blackened will be free to leave and re-enter the outside world seeing as they have graduated from this Academy.
This killing game and class trials will continue until there are only two surviving students remaining.
AHH HA HA HA!!
Seeing as you will be staying here for the time being there are rules about the school schedule you should know about.
With minimal restrictions, you are free to explore the campus at your discretion.
There are "Nighttime" hours.
They are from 10 pm to 8 am.
At this time the dining hall and gymnasium are OFF-LIMITS at night.
Violence towards me, the headmaster, is strictly prohibited!
Just to let you know I, being the headmaster, will never directly kill anyone.
So, no accusing me of murder!!
Also the devices you were given are called ShiRonpads and they are very important DO NOT damage them!
And any student who violates any of these rules will be executed immediately!!
I think that's about it...
Oh right!
Me being the headmaster of this academy I can add additional regulations to the list of rules at any time!
That's all I have to say I'll see you around.
Happy Killing!
Pupupu!!!

She disappeared just as abruptly as she appeared.
All the 16 students were dumbfounded after hearing this and it was silent before...

Shinji
Well..this is interesting, I don't think it would be wise to kill anyone, because that would play into the headmaster's plan...
We should try to escape...

Tayaka
Yes, we should work together, instead of against each other.

Mozomo
It would be impolite to refuse.

Zazume
If this is what I think it is I don't think they will let us escape that easily...

Akira
What does he mean by that?
He seems suspicious...

Sora
Hey guys, let's not let this get us down!
Just kidding!! I don't care about any of you anyway!!

She walked over to Yuuki-san.

Sora
Looking for a way to escape seems worthless seeing as whoever put us here has somehow made us forget why we're here.
So, why don't you think with your head instead of trying to pretend that it's all going to be ok?

Akira
Her tone completely changed.
Who is she?

Taken aback by the threat Yuuki-san kept her composure with pure rage in her eyes but she said nothing.
The girl put her finger to her mouth leaning towards Yuuki-san, opening her mouth to say something...
Before everyone's eyes turned to me.

Akira
Well, at least she is trying to make all of us do something productive together instead of just standing here!
So, maybe just listen to her instead of making such dumbass comments!!

This surprised Yuuki-San and almost everyone else including the girl standing in front of me and I can see why I don't do this very often almost close to never actually...
She turned from Yuuki-san and walked towards me.

Akira
Maybe I shouldn't have said that...
I don't know how she is going to react.
No I should stand my ground.
I need to repay Yuuki-san for what she has done for me!

Sora
You say such bold words when all you have done is be too anxious to talk.
Isn't that right Miss Emo Poet?

Akira
She seems very confident..
I wonder if this is how she acts around everyone?
And how does she know my talent?
Maybe she is the mastermind behind all of this...
I need to show her I'm not backing down!
For Yuuki-san!

Akira
It's funny to be called that.
I haven't even told you my talent yet.
Are you the one who is running this?
Cause how would you know my talent if you literally just met me and don't even know my name.
If you're the mastermind behind all of this, you just exposed yourself.

Her smirk faltered for a quick moment before a new one was plastered on her face.

Sora
If you want to know so badly then I'll tell you, there is no way your talent could be anything else because who wears that much black and carries a notebook with them and doesn't write poetry?
And also the emo part well what exactly are you going for with an outfit like that.
So, with all that said I put two and two together and it seems my hunch was right.

I could feel my confidence falter as heat came to my face from her getting so close to me.

Akira
She must be offended that trash like me dared to talk back to her
Yuuki-san must think I'm useless now
When I finally had something that gave me a purpose...

...

Akira
Y-yeah o-o-obviously.

I looked away from her eyes anxiety skyrocketing.

Sora
Well seeing as there is no reason for me to be here any longer I'll be off Miss Emo Poet~

The girl said in a tone that could be taken as flirtatious before poking my nose.
She then smirked walking away from me leaving the gymnasium with her hands behind her head.
I was baffled standing in the gym while everyone was looking at her with a shocked expression.

Tayaka
Well, I know who's gonna die first...

She glared at the door. The glare probably targeted at the girl from before.

Akira
Yuuki-san must want to hurt the girl for what she did...
This is all my fault.
I can't seem to ever do anything right...

Hachi
Well, that happened...

Shinji
Well, she does seem like quite a character.

Everyone was trying to suppress their shock from the events that just took place.
Even though I had no clue of what I could say after something like that.

Mozomo
Well unless you guys want to stand here forever let's see if we can find a way to escape. Shall we?

Another girl walked over to the group of students starting to form around us.

Shinji
Right! So, where should we start?

I snapped myself out of my timid manner and the discriminant thoughts starting to come into my mind.

Akira
W-well, w-why don't w-w-we s-spread o-out and e-e-explore the s-school a little b-bit?

Shinji
That's a great idea.

Everybody dispersed out of the gym after hearing those words.

The three of us stood in the gym in a brief silence.

Shinji
Oh, I forgot to tell you guys my name.
My name is Shinji Momoto.
I'm the ultimate designer!
Nice to meetcha!

Akira
The title ultimate designer definitely fits her.
Her outfit seems like it was an original work.
Seeing as I have never seen any outfit like the one she is wearing.
Her whole entire image seems very well put together overall.
Maybe that's why she took charge earlier because she likes to be organized and doesn't want other people to mess up her order.
I might be reading too much into this...

Tayaka
I'm Tayaka Yuuki, the ultimate musician.

She said holding out her hand.
Shinji gladly took her hand and shook it.

Akira
.  .  .

Shinji
Hey, good job on standing up for Yuuki-san earlier.
That was really cool of you to do.

I stayed silent for a moment trying to collect my thoughts.

Akira
T-thanks... I'm A-Akira Y-Yumeno the-

Shinji
The ultimate poet I know from what happened earlier.
Nice to meet you Yumeno-san.

Akira
.  .  .

Akira
Of course she would have already known that...

Akira
So... w-where s-should we g-go first... to e-explore the s-s-school...

Tayaka
I'm not sure. It seems like a big building...
Remember how many halls we ran down to get here Yumeno-san?

Akira
I-If I w-was counting c-correctly w-w-while w-we were r-r-running a-away f-from t-t-that thing, we r-ran d-d-down 4 h-hallways. Or s-something l-l-like t-that...

I pulled out the pad that was put in my pocket.

It's called a ShiRonpad and it has a whole database of basic information on the school.

Shinji
Guys this ShiRonpad has a lot of information about the school! It also has a map!

Tayaka
Holy shit!
This school has 5 floors plus a basement! It's enormous!!

Akira
T-this is g-g-going to t-take a w-while...

Shinji
Don't talk like that we can't lose hope! Yumeno-san where should we go first?

Tayaka
I'm fine with whatever.

Akira
.  .  . 

Shinji
Alrighty then let's go.

Again we walked out to go down the weathered hallway to try and find all the other ultimates.

Zazume
You guys are the people from the gym right?

Shinji
Yes that is correct!

Zazume
Do you guys have any clue why we are here?

Shinji
No I don't...

Tayaka
Well of course we don't remember!
We all lost our memory dumbass!

Akira
.  .  .

Akira
I don't want to get in the way
But if this starts to get more violent I might have to step in...
Why is he asking us that question?
Is the answer Shi Tenshi gave us earlier not enough to satisfy him?

Zazume
Ah! Maybe a better question to ask is who are you guys?
I'm Zazume Kiroko the Ultimate Conspirist.

Tayaka
The ultimate conspirist?

Shinji
So what do you do with your ultimate talent?

Zazume
Well, depends who's asking.

Akira
Oh?
T-that s-sounds really c-cool K-K-Kiroko-Kun, being a c-conspiracist is a really i-interesting t-t-talent to have, but you p-p-probably don't w-want to h-hear t-that f-from s-s-scum like m-me...

Tayaka
Yumeno-san you need to not be so down on yourself.

Akira
.  .  .

Shinji
So have you explored any of the school?
Have you found anything?

Zazume
I just went to look at that room over there.
It seems to be a lab for the ultimate novelist.

Akira
I wonder if we all have labs like that?
I'm assuming that means that there is also an ultimate novelist?

Tayaka
That's interesting, I bet we are going to find more as we explore.
Because this school is huge...

Shinji
It would be super cool if I could find an ultimate lab just for me!

Shinji
What do you think, Yumeno-San?

Zazume
Yes, your opinion would be helpful in this situation.

Akira
.   .   .

Akira
I-If M-M-Momoto-San a-and K-Kiroko-Kun w-want to h-h-hear m-my o-opinion I-I can't p-possibly r-r-refuse.

Akira
I t-think t-t-that there a-are u-u-ultimate labs f-for a-all of t-the s-students s-s-seeing as on the m-map t-there a-a-are a lot o-of rooms w-w-with s-symbols t-that l-look like something t-to mark a-an ultimate l-l-lab with.

Tayaka
That was a very smart deduction Yumeno-san!

Akira
.  .  .

Akira
T-t-thank you Y-yuuki-San, but y-you s-s-shouldn't w-waste s-such kind w-w-words on m-me.

Zazume
I think it is very interesting how bold you were earlier and how timid and quiet you are now...

Akira
He finds me interesting?
Why?

Akira
.  .  .

Zazume
I think you would be very interesting to learn more about Yumeno-San.

[Earned Acquaintance Card]

Akira
S-s-so this is t-the l-l-lab Kiroko-K-Kun w-was talking a-about.

Tayaka
It seems very nice seeing as there are vines and cracks all over the floor and this room seems almost brand new.

Shinji
Yeah I wonder if we can go inside.

We went to check the door.
Only to find...
The door was locked.

Shinji
It's weird that the door's locked.

Tayaka
Is the ultimate novelist already in there?
Did they go in and lock the door?

She was interrupted by a loud thud...

Shi Mika
Hey assholes you can't go into this lab because it's not fucking done yet!!

Three people showed up in front of the door...

Shinji
Wha-

Tayaka
Who the hell are you guys?!

Akira
Are these other versions of Shi Tenshi?
And why are there only three?
Does this number have a certain meaning?

Shi Tenki
Hey be nice!
Because they are trying to learn more about the ultimate labs!!
Isn't this exciting Shi Dani?

Shi Dani
Well I mean it's nice that they are taking interest in something I was put in charge of putting together, but maybe this isn't a good thing.

Shi Tenki
Come onnnn Shi Dani lighten up! Why are you so grim all the time?

Shi Dani
Maybe it's because I see what's actually happening and am not delusional...

Shi Tenki
What did you say to me Pessimist?!

Shi Mika
Shi Tenki I didn't know you could be violent!!

Shi Tenki
Sorry Shi Dani...
I was out of line just now...
But positivity is the best thing you can possibly radiate!

Shi Dani
.  .  .

Tayaka
Answer my damn question.
Who the hell are you guys?!

Shi Mika
We are the fuckin' Shi-Chisai's!!

Shi Tenki
Yeah we are the great advisors of our beloved Shi Tenshi!!

Shi Dani
.  .  .

Shi Mika
Look what you did now Shi Tenki!
Shi Dani won't even say anything!!

Shi Tenki
You say that like that's my fault she was just overwhelmed by my positivity!

Shinji
So you guys are the headmasters assistants?

Shi Mika
Hell yeah we are!!
Did you not hear what we just fucking said bitch!!

Shinji
No I was just asking a clarifying question...

Akira
I was kind of surprised when I didn't hear a comment from Yukki-san, but when I turned to look at her she was shaking and clenching her fist.
She must have been trying not to talk back to them knowing what happened in the gym when we talked back to Shi Tenshi...

Shi Mika
Well know that that's out of the way I am leaving you punkasses here!!

Shi Tenki
Yeah you guys are so negative I almost can't stand it!

They left without another word except for the one called Shi Dani.

Shi Dani
.  .  .

Tayaka
So why are you still here?

Shi Dani
Ahh!
I just wanted to apologize for my associates' behavior...

Akira
T-that was very k-k-kind of you S-s-shi Dani.

Shinji
Thank you Shi Dani.

Shi Dani
Sorry for being a bother.

She left with fast steps down the hall.

Tayaka
That was weird.

Shinji
I think that was very kind of her.

Akira
Why were all the other Shi-Chisai's so much like Shi Tensh and Shi Dani is so quiet and courteous?
Kind of weird seeing as she is the only one like that...
Maybe this means something?

Shinji
Yumeno-san we should keep looking around, alright?

Tayaka
Hey, what were you thinking about just now?

Akira
A-Ah! It d-d-doesn't m-matter...

Tayaka
...

Akira
Yuuki-san looks mad!
Did I do something wrong again?!

Shinji
You guys want to just go down this hallway?
The map shows that there is a cafeteria around there.

Akira
Y-y-yeah we d-do have t-to find e-everyone and a-a-assess h-how they a-a-are d-doing with the s-s-search...

Tayaka
Alright.
Sounds good to me.

Akira
Yuuki-san seems a little off put...
Maybe it's because of what I said to her earlier.
But why would she want to hear something about worthless trash like me?
These people are surely something else...

We walked down the hallway and made sure to be cautious so we don't trip over any of the forestry all over the school.
When we got to the dining hall we found two other ultimate students in the room.

Kunoko
Emu-san is there anything I can do for you?

Horri
Kurii-san, you don't have to ask my permission for anything you do.

Kunoko
Sorry I just thought that being the Ultimate Servant that helping the Ultimate Royalty would be fulfilling my purpose.

Shinji
So you must be some of the other ultimates here right?

Kunoko
Ah!

Shinji
. . .

Kunoko
Sorry I just wasn't expecting any visitors...

Horri
Don't worry about her, she is very easily frightened.

Kunoko
...

Shinji
Oh sorry about that.
Well I guess we should introduce ourselves!

Shinji
This is Tayaka Yuuki the ultimate musician and Akira Yumeno the ultimate poet.
Oh and I'm Shinji Momoto the ultimate designer!

Tayaka
We could have introduced ourselves...

Akira
...

Kunoko
Oh Yumeno-san! You were the one who confronted Makigumo-san earlier right?

Akira
M-m-makigumo-san?

Horri
Have you not been introduced to her yet?

Akira
N-no...

Tayaka
Tch!
Maybe it's better to not make acquaintance with that bitch!

Akira
N-no!
I-It w-w-wasn't her f-fault!
I-It w-was m-mine for r-r-raising my v-voice and a-agitating h-her.

Tayaka
Yumeno-san...

Horri
Well if you would like to know about Makigumo-san feel free to ask.

Kunoko
Emu-san would be the best person to ask!
Cause she has already met everyone here!

Horri
I wouldn't say that...
But yes I have talked to all the ultimates in this building besides you three.

Shinji
That's crazy!
How did you get around that fast?!

Kunoko
They were all walking out of the gym behind us.

Horri
So I stopped and suggested that we all introduced ourselves to each other.
After this greeting we all went our separate ways.

Shinji
Well that's nice!
To know all of the students I mean.

Horri
Well it is expected of the Ultimate Royalty to know all of her subjects.

Akira
She must not take her roll lightly.
Even Kurii-san is taking her talent very seriously.
I hope that this won't lead to some problems later...

Kunoko
Yumeno-san!

Akira
Ah! Y-yes! Do you n-need s-s-something?

Kunoko
Sorry for startling you...

Akira
N-no! it's o-o-ok, you d-don't h-have to a-a-apologize to m-me!

Kunoko
Oh.
Anyway, I wanted to thank you for confronting Makigumo-san earlier.

Akira
Th-thank m-me?

Kunoko
Yeah it was very kind of you to do that.
She seems a little unconcerned about how her actions affect others...

Horri
Yes. I wanted to thank you as well Yumeno-san.
What you did earlier is in need of great amounts of gratitude.

Before I could even say anything...
Emu-san bowed her head to me and Kurii-san was kneeling on the ground bowing to me.
I felt my face get hot and pulled my hat down over my eyes from habit.

Akira
?!
Wh-what are y-you guys d-d-doing?!

Horri
You have a big influence over the group because of that.
I think everyone trusts you in a sense.
Because of the way you stood up for Yuuki-san.

Kunoko
I should thank you as well.
That meant a lot to me Yumeno-san.

Akira
H-huh?

Kunoko
Do you guys have anything else you need from us?

Shinji
I'm not sure-

Akira
C-could y-y-you t-tell me w-what M-m-makigumo-san's t-talent i-is?

Horri
Of course.

Horri
Her name is Sora Makigumo and she is the ultimate actress.
She has starred in many movies and plays.
She is known for being able to play roles of both genders very well.
The best known ever actually.
Is this answer sufficient?

Akira
Y-yes that was most h-helpful!
Th-t-thank you Emu-san!

Horri
Of course if there is anything my subjects need I am willing to fulfill the task.

Akira
O-oh.

Kunoko
I am also willing to help with anything you need.
Just ask me. I am here to help you alright?

Akira
O-ok t-t-thank y-you

Akira
So Makigumo-san is the one that I yelled at earlier...
It's going to be weird when I talk to her again...
So she's the Ultimate Actress?
Maybe I should look into that more...
