Akuta

<⁠IT’S YOU! WHY ARE YOU HEEEEEERE?!⁠>

Nanaki

Dude, what are you doing?! Your mic!

Akuta

<⁠*gasp…* I forgot! Sorry about your eardrums, everyone! Mic goin’ off!⁠>

Ushio

What the hell are you doing? We were having an emotional moment.

Muneuji

Our guests are watching.

Akuta

G-Guys… Look up…!

Kiroku

Huh…?

Egg?

Kiroku

*gasp*

Ushio

The…egg?! Ew! Why the fuck is it here?!

Muneuji

Did it swim all the way here from Shodoshima? What incredible willpower.

Kiroku

Ah… I’m so…happy…it’s alive…!

Nanaki

Hold on, guys. The timer!

Akuta

I-I-I-It’s almost at zero! This isn’t good! This isn’t good, dudes!

Muneuji

If it causes an explosion like the one at the old school building when the countdown reaches zero…

Nanaki

If it does that…

Ushio

Things are gonna get serious.

Kiroku

Mm…

Akuta

A-A-A record-breaking catastropheeee! All of the guests are gonna get caught up in a⁠—

Kiroku

…We need…to do…something…

Nanaki

W-We have to explain it to them. Then we just can have them evacuate, right?

Ushio

What are we gonna say? “Sorry everyone, an alien egg is gonna explode soon?” Nobody’s gonna believe us.

Nanaki

Are you 12? At least come up with another idea if you don’t like mine.

Ushio

And if you can’t come up with any good ideas then back off, Panda.

Muneuji

This is no time to argue. There must be something… If we can at least move the guests to somewhere else…

Akuta

Eureka! I got it!! Nanaki, Kiroku, Muneuji, Ushio, everything’s gonna be fine!

I got a giant database of disaster movies in my head, so I know a thing or two about dealing with emergencies!

Oh, but I don’t really know many romance movies… I got action movies and horror movies and sci-fi movies…

Ushio

Whatever, just do it already!

Akuta

Okay! Listen up, guys!

Kaede

What’s going on? Akuta-kun shouted something out of nowhere, and now they’re all huddled around and whispering to each other.

Gannosuke

Something seems amiss.

Tourist A

What’s happening? Is it over?

Tourist B

Really? But I feel like there’s still more. Maybe they ran into some issues.

Sakujiro

Chief, let us promptly head backstage to check on everyone. The guests are becoming increasingly anxious.

Kaede

Yeah, let’s go. I really hope nobody got sick or injured…

Kafka

Wait. They turned around.

Akuta

<⁠HYAAAAHAHAHAHA!⁠>

Ushio

<⁠Hah… Haha… Hahahahaha! Aaaahahahaha! Haaahahaha!⁠>

Kaede

Huh?

Sakujiro

They seem to be laughing villainously.

Kaede

(Wh-What are they doing?!)

Nanaki

<⁠W-We’re the ones who blew up the old school building! Did you really think you’d get to go home safely?!⁠>

Kiroku

<⁠…We… We’ll…blow up…this whole…⁠>

Muneuji

It’s okay. Leave it to me, Kinugawa.

Kiroku

Ah… Thank…you…

Muneuji

<⁠You arrogant fools… Have you forgotten that we are cold-hearted bomb-obsessed villains?⁠>

<⁠And to satisfy this uncontrollable urge… We have planted a bomb at this school.⁠>

<⁠If you don’t start running, you will be at our beck and call…to create bombs for us for the rest of your puny lives.⁠>

<⁠Hahaha…⁠>

<⁠HAHAHAHAHA! HAAAAHAHAHAHA!⁠>

*crowd clamoring*

Nanaki

Dude, he’s good.

Akuta

I gotta ask him to star in my next movie!

Ushio

Muu-chan do anything.

Kiroku

If we…cause too much…of a…panic…the kids…are gonna…cry…

Kaede

(A bomb…? What? I don’t remember that being in the script.)

Student A

Those fucking bombers…! You gotta be kidding me! They’re crazy!

Student B

They’re just kidding…right? It’s all a big lie…

Kaede

(The Asu High students are actually scared…)

(I know that they didn’t plant a bomb, so there must be a different reason why they’re doing this…)

Akuta

<⁠You’ll all fall victim to us in time!⁠>

<⁠Sooo… SHOW YOURSELF! Student council president, Kuraku Yumenosuke!⁠>

Yumenosuke

Wha… What is it?!

Akuta

<⁠Even someone as capable as you probably doesn’t have the evacuation route memorized, right? Huh?!⁠>

Yumenosuke

You villains! What are you saying?! There is absolutely no way that I, the student council president, would⁠—

Nanaki

Ah, hold on. Here’s a mic for you.

Yumenosuke

Ah, yes, thank you.

<⁠What are you saying?! There is absolutely no way that I, the student council president, would fail at memorizing the evacuation route!⁠>

<⁠Assemble! My student council!⁠>

Student Council PR Manager

Yes, President Kuraku!

Yumenosuke

Lead the evacuation for blocks A to D!

Student Council Secretary

Yes, President Kuraku!

Yumenosuke

Put up caution tape in the areas that have become cramped due to the performance!

Kaede

(His orders are so precise…!)

Student Council PR Manager

This way! Keep moving, and don’t stop walking!

Student Council Secretary

Please watch your step! Calmly follow the person in front of you!

Kaede

I got distracted by how well they’re evacuating, but… W-What are you doing?! Where did all of this come from?!

(It’s no use, I’m getting pushed away by the crowd…!)

Wait, Kafka and Sakujiro-san?! Gannosuke-san…! I lost all of them!

Yumenosuke

<⁠Please do as the student council says, everybody! Our other executives are on their way, so do not panic!⁠>

Muneuji

President Kuraku!

Yumenosuke

<⁠Kaguya-kun, evacuate block E⁠— Wait, no!!⁠>

<⁠You’re one of the bombers! Do NOT so brazenly associate yourself with my student council!⁠>

Muneuji

……

I…see.

Akuta

Woah! Muneuji, dude, what’re you doing?!

Muneuji

I’m sorry. I reacted out of habit at his summons.

Ushio

*sigh…* Jesus.

<⁠You’re a double agent, huh, Kaguya? Traitor…!⁠>

Muneuji

Huh?

Nanaki

Ohh.

Ushio

<⁠I knew you were just the student council’s loyal dog! So get outta here already!⁠>

Muneuji

Uu-chan…

Akuta

What’s goin’ on?!

Nanaki

I’ll explain later.

Yumenosuke

<⁠Wha…! I won’t be deceived…!⁠>

<⁠……⁠>

<⁠Don’t you dare look down on my student council. We don’t need the help of a bomber.⁠>

<⁠But… Kaguya-kun, handle block E.⁠>

Muneuji

…Understood!

Timeskip
Kiroku

…Here, over here… Onto my clothes…

*soft thud*

Kiroku

…Hup… Okay…

…Welcome…home…egg…

Nanaki

Okay, let’s take it somewhere private!

Akuta

Run!

*running*

Kaede

Ahhhh, w-why is this happening?! Now everyone’s running off the stage!

Kafka

Ahaha, we got a big panic on our hands.

Kaede

Kafka! This isn’t the time for that!

Kafka

Oh, it’s fine. This is nice every once in a while.

Kaede

B-But!

Kafka

I’m not sure what’s happening, but it’s really interesting, so I like it. ♪
