POV - Mikado
DING-DONG, BING-BONG!
"Dear students. It's now 10:00 AM. Good morning everyone! Please have a lovely day in this sunny tropical paradise! Love, Monocrow."
The covers were catapulted to the floor, as I practically jumped out of bed. Bright sunlight spilled in from every nook and cranny as I rested my fists on my hips, breathing the fruity island air. I wasted no time changing into a fresh outfit, brushing my teeth, combing my hair (giving up on making it perfect), and heading out. Pleasant breeze blew over as I jogged down to the dining hall area, newfound confidence in my stride. Today was going to be a good day on this terrible island, and I just had to make it so.
Most of us were there.
I sat down next to my four new friends - Emma, Hajime, Iroha and Nikei.
Unsurprisingly, a large breakfast had already been prepared for us. All manner of pancakes, waffles, pastries, fruits and cereals were laid out like a buffet, accompanied by a modest assortment of syrups, jams, jellies and juices. Separate pitchers for coffee, tea, milk and cream sat beside the plates, silverware and stacks of mugs and glasses. I was just about to ask Emma where this feast had come from when Iroha bounced into the dining hall area.
"Time to eat, time to eat! Yuuki already made breakfast! Guess I don't have to anymore!"
"I came here as soon as I saw Miss Yuuki," said Setsuka, also arriving. "Anyway, all this food was already set out for us when I arrived."
I scooped some food onto my plate.
Looking around, I saw that Emma, Iroha and Nikei had bowls of white porridge, topped with sauces.
"This is so good!" Iroha said, praticially shoveling the porridge into her mouth.
Emma laughed and popped a spoon of it into her mouth.
Porridge with sauces was tasty.
Nikei nibbled at his own porridge.
"Orange sauce with porridge... sure is weird." He said.
It changed on the second spoonful, though.
Soon, the porridge was gone.
Suddenly, Hajime's own voice called him.
Nikei turned to the boxer, who was chowing down on his own porridge, but it had a green sauce.
"What's that?" Nikei asked.
"Nothing wrong with a little bit of relish, right, Nik?"
Nikei gagged. "Relish?! It's disgusting on porridge!"
After breakfast, me, Emma, Nikei, Iroha and Hajime were talking.
"Mikado, I dare you to run the Gaunlet." Iroha said.
"What's that?" I asked.
"It's the most disgusting, messed up challenge on the internet." Iroha explained. "You have to watch 20 videos that get more and messed up as you go along, and you can't move onto the next one until the video's finished. And to make things worse, if you choose to look away consequences follow..."
"I can handle it!" I said. "After all, I'm the Ultimate Bounty Hunter, and I've seen more disturbing things than that!"
"Okay," Iroha said. "I'll take you to your cottage, and you can start the challenge. It will be hell."
She then led me to my cottage.
This sounds easy for a bounty hunter like me! I can handle this!
