Triple Nightmare /Bakudekutodo

Chapter 59: Is that supose to be an island?!

"Hmmmm. I don't know. Could be land." "What else could it be Kacchan?" "How should I know? By the way when was I declared the decision maker?" "Well, since it won't go any other way than yours anyway..." Todoroki answered. "Tsk. Damn, right." he mumbled. "So? Will we head for it?" "Yeah, let's at least check it out. We don't have much of a choice either way." Bakugo said and we changed corse.

Midoriya POV:
We got closer to it quicker than I had thought. And soon I would find out why that was. The big shadow in the distance wich we had thought could be an island had now turned into a huge ship like construction, heading right for us. It looked as if you would have taken the craziest houses you could find in a fairy tail, put all of them in a city and then squeezed them together in order to create one big mansion wich you then put on the base of a ship. You could make out each room from the outside. All made out of a different shapes and painted in a different bright colour. It was as least 10 stories high and had at least 4 000 rooms. After having a closer look you could see that even the windows had weird shapes and some rooms had balconies with were just as funky as the rest and most likely a safety hazard.

All of us were stunned. We couldn't get a single word out. All we did was stare at that mysterious thing in front of us. The longer we would look at it the more we spotted. For example the fact that because of the weird shapes most of the rooms had uneven or sloping floors. Some were so sloping that I began to wonder how you would be able to walk on them.

"Hello there. Are you here to check in?" All of us were forced to snap out of it when all of a sudden someone appeared on the side of the Ship. It was a big muscular man with the head of a bull. He was wearing a black suit barely able to contain all those muscles and on his left eye he was wearing a monocle. He looked as if someone had squeezed a bodybuilder in a butlers costume and added the head of an animal. We jumped to our feet. I had never seen such a creature and to be honest it brang slight fear over me. I reached for Shotos hand. He held onto it tightly and pulled me behind his left shoulder. Kacchan took a step forward, making sure both of us would be behind him. "What do you mean by check in?" He shouted so that the creature standing above us could hear it. "Well, this is a cruise ship after all. People we come across usually want to join us. Especially considering the rough seas that lay ahead." "Rough seas?" "You must not be from here. You wouldn't survive more than a couple hours. Barely half a day if you are lucky. Ahead are monsters some even as big as our labyrinth of Minotaur over here." He lifted his left arm wich had just been behind his back and pointed towards the ship symbolising "labyrinth of Minotaur" was this cruises name. "We don't have a lot of coins. Pretty much nothing to be honest." Kacchan argued. "Oh please, who would we be if we charged you for your stay here." "How am I suppose to understand that?" "This place was made to give people who travel over water a save place to rest as well as continue their way to the destination of their choice. Everyone is welcome. No matter if Mythical creatures, chimeras or humans. Don't worry I'm sure we will have some rooms free for you and your companions over there." Kacchan was visible suspicious. "What do we do?" Shoto asked. Kacchan looked at us. "If what he said is true, then this is our only option. But then again all of this seems a little too convenient." He turned around again, facing the creature. "What's the twist?" "As I said before this cruise is called the labyrinth of Minotaur. All you need to do is find your way out once you want to leave. It's even bigger from the inside and as you might have guessed it's quite the ... well labyrinth." He chuckled "But we are no monsters so I'll give you a device that will lead you back to your room at any point. If you are willing to make the risk then please follow me." All of a sudden the side of the ship opened and a staircase came out of it connecting our boat right to where the creature was standing. "We will make sure your belongings are delivered to your room as well as your boat is stored away safely until you take your leave again." He added. Kacchan turned around to us once more. "Listen if you guys say we better keep going on our own..." He looked at us waiting for an answer. "Well we don't have much of a choice do we?" Shoto asked. "You do! We don't even know if this thing is telling the truth." Kacchan said. "I think this is our best bet." Shoto answered after a few seconds. "Deku?" Both of them looked at me. "I think so too. For now our best option is to trust him." Kacchan nodded. "Alright then." He grabbed Shoto by his other hand and we got out our boat and onto the staircase.

Up close that creature looked even scarier. He was two heads bigger than us and at least double as wide. If he wanted to we would be dead in mere seconds. "This way please." He said and started walking. We followed. "By the way my name is Minotaur. It is a pleasure meeting you and I hope you will have a satisfactory stay." Not long after, we entered the huge cruise through a big door. And the inside was definitely even more breathtaking than what we had seen from the outside. And with that I mean both interior architecture as well as the residents, staying at this abnormal place.
