Memory Regained: Some giantass door with guns, great [ chapter 2 - update 42 ]
Date: Day 39
Game won: Geimu no Jikan

Memory:

What is this…? What is such a huge building doing here?

It is completely weathered down… It seems much like an old ruin, does it not?

I don’t think it’s “much like” an old ruin… I think it

an old ruin.

Um… Does anyone else think it kinda looks like… a school?

[ Moment of silence. ]

So, what’d ya find, Nanami? You…

did

find something, right?

If it’s something boring, I’m gonna kill you…

Hey, what are you even

doing

here?

That girl can be

very

persistent… I came just to shut her up.

Could it be that she’s already found a way off the island?

No, that’s not it.

What else could be so important? I’d much rather play in the bathtub with big sis Koizumi!

So… what is it that you found?

…………

[ Hinata speaks to the other students for a brief moment, including Kuzuryuu. ]

For all the fuss she made, this had

better

be good… or else.

[ After speaking to everyone, Hinata speaks to Nanami for an answer. ]

So, did you find something here, Nanami?

If it’s not something that can help us off the island… does it have to do with the island’s secret?

…………

Hmmm… I am not so sure about that myself.

…What do you mean?

There is something… unbalanced about this building. Something that’s clearly unnatural.

It’s like… taking a manga about baseball and making a side-scrolling action game based on it…

It’s that level of unnaturalness.

…I’m not sure I follow.

Here. Take a look at that door.

This thing is so dusty I can’t make any details… Is this the door?

Yeah. That seems to be the door to these ruins.

So, what’s so special about it? Can we go inside?

Before we try going inside…

First, let’s try sweeping all the dust off.

If we do that… you’ll see what I meant when I said this place is “unnatural”… I think.

I don’t really get you… but whadda we got to lose?

Y…Yeah…

[ The group uses their hands to clean off the dust and vegetation off the door. ]

What the…? This door doesn’t look like it belongs in a ruin at all…!

It looks like… something out of a science fiction movie, doesn’t it? She’s right, it

does

seem out of balance…

That’s not all… what’s that mark on the door?

Hmmm… It appears to be letters of some sort…

Ah! He’s right!

U…Um… I’m sorry if I’m wrong, but…

I think the word that’s written here is “Future”…

Oi, who cares about what’s written on that door?!

Instead of worrying about that, we should look for a way to open it! We have to see what’s inside, don’t we?!

I think that’s an LCD panel next to the door… Maybe that has something to do with it?

Yeah, that’s it! That has to be the key!

I’m sure if we type in a password or something, the door will open!

Yeah, yeah, you’re a genius. But, so what?

We don’t have a single hint. It would be impossible to figure out the password.

Or are you saying that what’s impossible for the average person is easy with your Yakuza superpowers? Impressive!

S…Shut up… We can at least try guessing… Who knows, we might hit the jackpot.

Ah. I think it’s better to wait. Doesn’t that look dangerous?

Aa? What the hell do you mean?

I mean… doesn’t that thing next to the panel look like a gun?

…That is, it

a gun, isn’t it?

A… gun…?

What?! That’s a gun?!

If it is… this might be dangerous.

It’s possible we’ll get shot if we type in the wrong password… right?

Keh…!

S…Seems like we’re out of options… We have to give up… for now.

Pffft… Gotten scared?

I told you to shut up! Or maybe you’d prefer to try it yourself?!

But… for such a ruins-like building to be sealed with a door straight out of science fiction…

As I said, it’s unnatural. I’m sure this place is special.

The

question

is… what’s special about it?

Um…

…………

Um…

…………

…No comment out of either of you?

You two must know all about this building! Go on, spill!

No… I know absolutely nothing about it…

Me too… I have no clue…

Anyway… You should all go gathering Hope Shards now…

Are you kidding?! The two of

you

? Know

nothing

? You really think we’re gonna buy that?!

This door was even hidden under a thick layer of dust… That was also your work, wasn’t it?

Do you mean they hid it on purpose? That does make sense…

Will you do me a favor and stop talking back like an equal? Know your place, trash-girl.

Hiii! I…I’m sorry!

Apologize, right now!

I…I just did, didn’t I?! I said I’m sorry…!

Perhaps… the fact that the island’s residents aren’t around has to do with this heavily armored door?

Could this place be, in essence, a shelter where the residents are hiding?

Did something really happen here that requires a shelter? In that case… aren’t we in danger as well?

Hmmm… Lots of possibilities are crossing my mind…

But, it doesn’t seem we’ll be able to confirm them right now. This door is incredibly sturdy, you see.

I don’t mean that just in the physical sense. Its very essence is the same.

…Huh? What are you saying?

You see… Me and Monomi may have the power to appear and disappear at will, but we can’t go inside this door.

Eh? You can’t enter it either? That means that just like me…

Hey! Enough careless remarks out of you!!

Ugyaaaaaaaaaa!

Being hit by a faster-than-sound meteor attack is

weally

bad for my health!

Well, then. Now that I’ve silenced my little sister with my fantastic Pegasus Fist, let’s continue…

This is Jabberwock’s mystery, you see. A mystery even me and Monomi can’t solve.

Which is why I have high expectations from you bastards! I fully expect you to overcome this hurdle yourselves!

Oh? We can easily do that, you know.

All we have to do is ask. Remember what that black and white raccoon told us a couple of days ago?

There is a “traitor” among us. That’s what that mess of a raccoon said.

Ahahaha! You may call me a mess or a raccoon, but I won’t get depressed!!

You sure look like you did!

That “traitor” must know, right? They have to know how to open this door…

I’m sure there’s a boat or some way to communicate with the outside world hidden behind it.

Or perhaps… that’s where whoever is operating Monobear and Monomi are hiding!

B…But… do we really have a traitor among us?

Of course we do! Who is it? Come out and reveal yourself right now!

T…There

no twaitor… No one here is a twaitor!

Hey, Monobear! How about it? It was you who told us about it in the first place…

Upupupupupu…
