Sixteen students wake up and find themselves in an abandoned mansion on a deserted island. They were supposed to be attending their first year at Soaring Heights High School. But a mechanical cat is telling them otherwise.
Jiro Kinoshita is one of t...
"Alright, where should we go first?" Mizuki asked.
It took Jiro a moment to realize that she was talking to him. He simply shrugged in response.
They had decided to group with Ryo and Chiyo. Mostly because everyone else was off doing their own thing.
"I don't see the reward that comes from this expedition. Why explore this place when we aren't even aware how we got here in the first place?" Chiyo inquired, looking around.
"I think it's best if we just explore anyways. Monokitty will probably tell us more afterwards. After all, didn't she say something about this being our temporary school or something?" Mizuki asked.
Ryo nodded, his smile still on his face. He didn't seem to be bothered much about their circumstance.
"L-Let's just go...the sooner we start, the sooner we get some answers." Jiro said, beginning to walk forwards.

Not too long later, they approached a pair of wooden double doors. Chiyo decided to take the lead and threw the doors open.

"Ah, this must be the library. I've never seen such a big one before." Mizuki said, looked around the room in awe.
Jiro, didn't seem as impressed as the others. He looked rather neutral about the layout.
Chiyo flitted around the room rather quickly, while scanning different bookshelves.
"This is quite the large chamber for human knowledge. Alas, the mind of a mortal is too simple to be able to comprehend such extensive incantations." The woodcarver said, hanging off one of the ladders.
"How did you...get there..?" Jiro asked, having not seen Chiyo move.
"I moved here. Obviously." The girl responded.
Jiro sighed heavily.
He didn't see the point of being so careless in a place like this. They woke up, without much of a clue of how they got there in the first place. And their only explanation was given to them by a mechanical plush cat.
He was shaken from his thoughts as someone nudged him. He looked over and wasn't surprised to see Mizuki there, staring at him in concern.
"Everything alright, Jiro-san?"
Jiro nodded.
"I just don't think it's very efficient to stay in one room for very long. We have this whole mansion to go through, but I doubt we actually will. We still have to find the dining hall and get some answers from that cat thing." The boy rambled, unaware of how fast he was speaking.
Mizuki blinked.
"Um...okay, let's pretend I understood all of that, word for word. How about while we're exploring around, we keep an eye out for the dining hall. That way, we don't have to explore everything." She said, sounding somewhat confused.
