Danganronpa S Development Mode/Kotoko Utsugi

This article contains information and transcripts for Kotoko Utsugi's Development Mode events from Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp.

Introduction

I don't know what madman decided to make this camp so long, but at least there are like no adults!

Hope Fragment

If only I could have found this sooner... It's all an act though.

Friendship Events

Tsumugi & Kotoko

	Tsumugi & Kotoko
	Now that's what I call a Kotoko production! It's the greatest, cutest swimsuit in the world!
	Yeah, it's super cute! And as I figured, as a former child actor, you give it a whole new look.
	Please don't talk about the past! It's bad manners!
	Sorry, I couldn't help it. I was reminded of the summer gag episode of the show you were in.
	And I told you, it's *bad manners*!
	Plus, that wasn't a swimsuit, it was a character costume. Why'd this swimsuit remind you of that?
	Sorry, sorry! They're *both* super cute, okay?
	There are pros and cons to parents having their child cosplay, and I respect the child's wishes...
	But I can kind of understand wanting to play dress-up with them.
	If I had a child like you, I'm sure I'd have fun picking out clothes for you.
	I don't *like* having things picked out for me.
	On days when I was dressed up really cute... bad things tended to happen.
	Huh?
	Just kidding! Did you think I meant it? I *am* good at acting, after all.
	I-I was startled for a moment. I thought I'd just stepped onto a minefield.
	Just please be careful. Adults can never tell when something might shatter a child's heart.

Sayaka & Kotoko

	Sayaka & Kotoko
	It's been a while, Kotoko. Do you remember me?
	We were on a variety show together once.
	Of course I remember you! There isn't a girl who doesn't know all about you.
	But...I don't know about any variety show. That's all in the past.
	Oh... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up something you'd rather forget.
	I retired months ago. It's all a lifetime ago.
	That doesn't stop people from calling me Li'l Ultimate Drama and dragging me here, though.
	If not for Monaca being with me, I would have fiercely objected.
	When I was your age, several months really did feel like a lifetime.
	But as you get older, time starts to fly by in the blink of an eye.
	Maybe that's why those around you have so much trouble keeping up with your life.
	Yeah, well, it's really annoying! I'm a normal girl now, darn it!
	Being a normal girl must be what makes you happy, huh?
	I never even wanted to be famous.
	You're in the industry, so I'm sure you understand.
	That's true... For me, it was a long sought after dream that I was finally able to grasp.
	With that said, I don't blame you at all, and I respect your decision.
	As long as you can smile, you've made the best choice.

Teruteru & Kotoko

	Teruteru & Kotoko
	Oh, you're--
	EEK! I turn around and it's the nasty X-rated chef!
	Being all alone in a swimsuit with a pervert is not my idea of a fun time!
	Hey now! Even I watch my language in front of kids, I'll have you know.
	Oh, so you spew filth with impunity around everyone else?
	You admitted it, so it's death without trial! Now die in the most brutal way imaginable!
	Huh. Kids these days are rough. Were elementary schoolers always like this?
	Forgetting your childhood is a surefire sign that you're close to being the worst kind of adult.
	You're a special kind of filth, so it'd be best if the world roasted you now like the pig you are.
	Whew, you really are a spicy one! My heart ain't unbreakable, y'know.
	If you say such hurtful things with no regard for others, *you'll* become the worst kind of adult.
	I never expected a decent retort from you. So, what, is it gonna rain fire and brimstone next?
	Oof! Look, if you keep bullying me, I won't make any more snacks for you!
	Oh nooo, somebody heeelp! Depictions of kiddie porn will never pass a ratings board!
	Just so you know, I'm not gonna chase you! It'd just make me look worse, so no thanks!
	Yeesh, I've never done a thing to you kids. Do I really deserve this treatment?
	Your very existence is a bad influence on kids! Take this opportunity to reflect on your behavior.

Fuyuhiko & Kotoko

	Fuyuhiko & Kotoko
	*staaare*
	What, I got somethin' on my face? Don't think I'll show mercy to a kid if you're lookin' down on me.
	Oh, so you noticed. I mean, that's kinda why I said it so loud.
	I have something to ask you, but you don't seem like the easy-to-talk-to type...
	So I figured I'd lighten the mood first.
	Not necessary... Whatcha want with me?
	Are you really a high-schooler?
	Or are you a mysterious transfer student we never knew about from the elementary school?
	And we're about to embark on a summer adventure of a lifetime or something along those lines?
	So you really were lookin' down on me? You sayin' I look like a kid?
	Just answer the question, please! Otherwise, I'll have to file an inquiry once we return!
	I'm a high-schooler! That enough for you!?
	Okay...no need getting so worked up at a kid. I gotta show an adult's restraint...
	Oh, so you *aren't* a transfer student. Here I am getting my hopes up.
	Even if you're around a grownup age, I guess there are people like you who don't seem like adults.
	You're just beggin' for me to fly off the handle, ain't ya, you little brat...
	No... She's a kid and I'm an adult... Don't play along with her cheap taunts...
	I'm not begging for anything! I don't start arguments or do anything R-rated!
	I was just thinking how impressed I am and how everyone should be like you, that's all...
	Huh?
	Can I call you Little Big Brother Fuyuhiko, or do you not like that nickname?
	You little... You really *are* begging for it!
	No... Don't glare, don't glare...
	You don't seem to like it, even though it really is a compliment.
	I want to stay a kid forever, myself...
	Yeah, just like you! Bwahahaaa!
	Behave yourself, dammit! I know you're tryin'a piss me off!

Masaru & Kotoko

	Masaru & Kotoko
	One, two, three... Ugh, I really didn't miscount...
	Is something the matter? Seeing you staring at numbers is like an omen for a natural disaster.
	I was counting how many days are left in the trip.
	So why do you look so bummed? Wait...no, I understand now. Let me guess--you haven't touched your homework?
	Urgh... Field trips aren't even supposed to have homework...
	This must be another adult scheme. They're just jealous of how free us kids are.
	Ugh, adults really are the worst...
	But...getting to spend time here with almost no bad adults was also the work of adults.
	That settles it! I will *not* do my homework!
	If I don't...I'm sure they won't let me leave this place!
	Oh my, that means...you'll be living under the protection of adults you can't trust...
	Urgh! That's...
	You were just looking for the most plausible reason not to do your homework, weren't you?
	You shut up! What about you, Kotoko, huh!?
	I never had any intention of doing mine. Studying for the sake of pleasing adults is dumb.
	Hey, th-that's not fair! You're just looking for an excuse to not do homework too!
	Nope. It's not some harebrained scheme like yours. This is a premeditated crime. Revolution, even.
	That's just crazy talk! How's that any different from my idea!?
	Let's cease this. As fellow anti-homeworkers, this ideological clash is counterproductive.
	It's like adults pushing responsibility onto each other. It's lame and I'll have none of it.
	Y-You're right... Our argument really did seem just like something adults would do.
	Instead of this silliness...let's think about what to play at the beach tomorrow!
	We'll get to see Monaca in a swimsuit! Eeeee, I just can't wait!
	Yeah! Who cares about the day after tomorrow when we always have tomorrow!
	I'm the party leader! Tomorrow, we bring our quest to defeat the colossal monster known as Ogredon!

Jataro & Kotoko

	Jataro & Kotoko
	Just...a little more now...
	I was wondering what you were up to...but a sand castle? And in a Japanese-style architecture?
	I'd have preferred a big castle befitting of a beautiful princess.
	Once I started, I couldn't stop...but then the tide started coming in... Wh-What do I do!? The entire castle will be swept away!
	Either you run away, or you share the castle's fate, duh!
	Someone as hated as me should just sink into sea with the castle... I bet everyone agrees.
	Oh, Jataro... Seldom was he useful, but he was moderately tolerable. I never liked him though.
	I'm not dead yet...but pretending I'm dead must be another sign of how disliked I am.
	With that, the castle is mine. I'll live a happy life with mermaid princess Monaca under the sea!
	Wait, under the sea!? Then I can live at the bottom of the sea as a hideous fish man!
	You already threw yourself into the sea and died! Ohh Monacaaa! Come over heeere, would yooou?
	So much for that...but it's fine. I'll just make a new castle over there.
	But this time, it'll be a Western-style castle. Monaca's very own Snow White castle.

Himiko & Akane & Kotoko

	Himiko & Akane & Kotoko
	Oh, *there* she is. Heeey! Himigo!
	It's Yumeno! Good grief, how many times do I have to tell you?
	Right, that! Himiko. So, when's your next show?
	Did somebody mention a show?
	If she's the Ultimate Magician, does that mean... it's a magic show?
	Yup, bingo. Wanna see it too?
	No, not especially. I'm used to flashy performances.
	For your information, that's just my official title. Tremble, for I am the Ultimate Mage!
	Ah, so that's your shtick! Having a solid character is important for any showman.
	Nooo! I really *am* a mage!
	Right, right. I know how important it is to stay in character. Sorry for being so insensitive.
	Grr... I get the feeling you don't understand, but whatever...
	Anyway, I plan to start a big tour after we graduate from the academy.
	Akane's siblings seemed to really enjoy my show, so I'll be sure to give them VIP tickets!
	Huh?
	Whoa, serious? Thanks a bunch!
	I, uh, kinda lost track, but there *should* be about as many as last show.
	I-I see... But there's a chance there might be more...
	VIP tickets... So you're giving some kids special treatment? That seems awfully arrogant of you.
	I was planning on making children's tickets cheap for this tour, plus they get front row seating.
	So every kid gets the VIP treatment. I want to make as many children smile as possible!
	Now that...is awfully commendable of you.
	If you change your mind and wanna see magic, you're welcome to come to my show.
	I'm still preparing the fliers, so I'll send you one once we're out.
	Himibo's show is pretty killer. Speaking of which, I hope that tiger makes an appearance!
	*Himiko*. Hmm, so you're a fan of my tiger... That's fine, but you'll watch my magic too, right?
	A...tiger? If you had cute animals instead of something scary, I might just decide to come.
	My tiger *is* cute. Watch and be amazed.
	Right, right, I'll consider it. If I don't forget, that is.
	Quit bein' such a brat, sheesh. Just admit that you wanna see the damn show.
	Shush! It's better to leave people like her alone rather than prod them too much!
	*sigh* I can hear you, y'know. You're both so bad at acting like grownups.
	But I kinda like you two, so...I'll think about seeing your magic show. Maybe.

Hifumi & Hiyoko & Kotoko

	Hifumi & Hiyoko & Kotoko
	Thrill rides are the best part of a theme park. I love watching all the pathetic, screaming people!
	Er, as opposed to riding? I'm not used to being an amusement for others!
	That's fine, I don't want to hear a piggy squeal. If it has to be a pig, it should be Miss Pig Puke!
	Besides, I'm not even tall enough to ride a lot of these attractions.
	It would be easy for the real me, but... this avatar is right on the edge.
	Oh, me too. Hmm...in this world, is it okay to stand on my tippytoes and get through?
	It's pretty iffy, so Hifumi...why don't you go ride alone and report back.
	In his case, he might be too *wide* to ride!
	Ah, but looks can be deceiving--I've lost much weight and can easily lower the safety bar!
	If you'll excuse me, I'm gone like a cool breeze. Sear my courageous image into your minds.
	That could have gone better. The G-force crushed my flesh, organs, lunch, snacks, and cola... Urp.
	Eww, that's freaking gross! There's such a thing as too much information, you know!
	Nasty swine... If you'd been turned to ground pork I wouldn't have had to hear that.
	I'm being double-teamed by two sadistic little girls! Not that I'm into that sort of thing!
	But yes, as you may have surmised, it was somewhat of a rough attraction...
	Do ride it yourselves, and let your screams fly. That's it for this edition of One-Man Jet Coaster!
	Ugh, you aren't even trying. Say it more like a celebrity chef on TV.
	Aww yeah, riding that thing is like a legal drug trip and being sent directly to Coaster Town!
	Say it like that!
	Double unreasonable requests from two sadistic little girls! I'm not your toy, you know!
	Hmm... I think my organs have been liquefied! I may be a walking time bomb! I need to spew!
	Hey, not one step closer, buddy! Go away! Seriously! I can't handle this!
	Eww, that kind of video is totally someone's fetish, and I am *not* gonna be in it!
	Heh heh heh... This is payback for all the abuse! You'd better run!

Genocide Jack & Celestia & Kotoko

	Genocide Jack & Celestia & Kotoko
	Hot vampires? Sign me up, my dude. Though I'd prefer slaying 'em to being surrounded by 'em.
	Aww yeah, got me some yakitori. Always best to start with the tried and true.
	Blood and impending death makes a man's charm shine, true, but killing them is such a waste.
	Oh, they sell gyoza here. They truly cater to a wide variety of needs.
	Liking grownup guys is gross. But I guess liking kids would be way more gross, huh.
	Ah, I want some manju! Sweet just can't be beat!
	My White Knight in a vampire outfit... Hachi machi! Now *that* gets my blood pumpin'!
	Hmm, sauce is fine, but salt is the bee's knees.
	In terms of appearance, Byakuya is adequate, but he's hardly fit to serve me.
	This isn't as good as the gyoza in Utsunomiya, but it's quite tolerable.
	Ah, that older boy? I just get the impression that being held captive suits him.
	So sweet! This manju gets a gold star!
	What're you guys doing judging my White Knight! Do I gotta get stabby with my chicken skewers!?
	Oh my... I was simply going along with the topic. May I try some of your yakitori?
	Your girl talk is so gorey. Talking about sweets is obviously the way to go.
	What's this motley crew from hell doin' talking girl talk, anyway?

Komaru & Kotoko & Monaca

	Komaru & Kotoko & Monaca
	Um, are you okay? The footing isn't the best... Let me know if you're having any trouble.
	It's fine. You don't have to force yourself to be nice just because we're here, you know.
	Didn't you just barely meet us? Hmm... Is this an adult sense of responsibility?
	Don't worry about it. You don't have to go out of your way--I can look after Monaca.
	Do you really dislike adults that much?
	It's nothing lame like that. It's not that we dislike adults--we hate them.
	We'll beat them, mash them, stick 'em in a stew... Then blend them with dookie and flush 'em!
	Eww, that's gross.
	I uh, guess I shouldn't ask for more details...
	That would be wise. Meddling adults who think it's their duty to protect kids are the worst.
	...
	Hmm, that killed the mood. We should relax in silence during baths--nothing more, nothing less.
	You're right. I want to cherish bath time with you, Monaca!
	Yeah, let's just be kids and have fun. And there's not a single adult around to scold us either. Isn't that right, Komaru Naegi?
	...Right.
	Yaaay! Cannonball, Kotoko!
	That's hardly lady-like, but...let's do it! Kyahahahaha!
	...
	Hmm, are you not having fun?
	That's not it. It's just, I'm still a kid too... But I feel so powerless.
	Oh? How unusual... To be a kid is to be both free *and* powerful, after all.

Special Events

Potential of Talent

What are some ideas you have for unlocking new potential in your talent?
	People are always wanting the old me... Frankly, I've had about enough of it. So this is basically a vacation to me! I'm going to have a blast away from all the grownups!

	I'm gonna take a nap on the beach!
	Ahh, what fine weather! Even if this is about as cliche an island as you can get!
	And thanks to that, I'm gonna get in some napping time! Are you into naps too?
	Frolicking around on the beach isn't in my nature, after all. And if changes in this world affect our bodies in reality...
	I wouldn't want to risk getting a tan. I'll never stray from my parasol.
	I see, so you're super self-conscious.
	There was a time when I wasn't allowed to get a tan either! But now, that's all in the past.
	Ooh, now that I can do as I please, getting a nice deep tan sounds kinda nice!
	Do as you please. However...if you must be so loud, could you do so a distance away?
	Look, I can see your friend out at sea that way. Why not go for a swim yourself?
	Nah, I'm sticking with my nap idea. Besides, Masaru has unlimited energy.
	Speaking of which, there's unlimited food in this world, right? Twist a faucet and honey comes out... Tap a pocket and biscuits multiply like crazy...
	The sky's the limit in an imaginary world! Also, also...
	*sigh* If you intend to nap, might I suggest shutting that mouth closed first?
I spoke my mind, and the super self-conscious girl got fed up with me...

	An amusement park all to myself--perfect!
	Ain't every day you get to visit an amusement park with no lines! It's infinite coaster loop time!
	Blech, I think I'd hurl. If I have to be spinning around, gimme the tea cups any day.
	Ooh, those rock too! You've always got the best ideas, Kotoko!
	Maximum spin factor is justice! Let's headbang along and spin until we spew!
	Eek, that's too much! My eyeballs would turn into a swirling frothy goo!
	And wait, why're you assuming we're gonna play together?
	Ah, why sweat the small stuff! We happened upon each other in a theme park, so them's the rules!
	Now, let's be off! While we're at it, let's conquer *every* attraction!
I ended up going around the amusement park with a very child-like high-school girl...

	Sampling the food here is high on my list!
	But...isn't the menu here a little on the strange and salty side?
	They should have stuff like crepes, soft-serve ice cream, boba, pancakes...
	Oh, it's Kotoko! Are you taking a walk all alone?
	Yes, I don't need to be surrounded by the others constantly. I'm a pretty independent kid.
	I see, I see! You sure are smart. Atua is always watching over you, so do not worry.
	Um, why're you trying to cram your religious beliefs down my throat like it's only natural?
	Because Atua is watching over you, Kotoko. I simply stated what was and always will be.
	Urgh, why does that sound so familiar to me... That's right, because you're talking in absolute terms...
	I love that aspect of Monaca, though!
	Hmm, Kotoko, are you mistaking Monaca as your god?
	No way. Monaca is just Monaca, a fellow kid like me. But if there *was* a god... I'm sure it would have to be--
	No, let's stop this. Arguing will get us nowhere. Never talk politics, religion, or baseball. That's the trick to keeping distance from grownups.
	That's right. Surely the day will come when you embrace Atua as well.
	Until that day comes, enjoy the tasty treats! So says Atua.
	By the way, uh, what kind of grilled sea critter *is* that? You sure are adventurous...
I walked alongside a weird, adventurous girl...

Summer Festival

There's a festival underway where you can try things unrelated to your talent! But everything here is done by high-schoolers, so us kids can just play!
	I don't even get to see Monaca in a yukata... What even is the point of this festival!

	I'll look at the stalls to kill time.
	A charm shop, huh... The heck? You don't even have any cute charms.
	Cute stuff that girls would like is a bit of a challenge for me...
	I designed these after the sacred animals that symbolize this island, as souvenirs.
I compared the charms for a while!

	I'll watch some juggling to kill time.
	Huh... You're pretty good at this.
	Still, my best errorless streak is only four times in a row...
	Oh yeah, weren't there supposed to be other jugglers than just you?
	Ah, Makoto is on break. Sorry about that. Did you wanna see someone you knew better?
	Nah, that's not it at all. And just so you know, I'm not even acting.
I watched a street performance for a while!

	I'll kill time at the play.
	Whoa! A big peach is floating down the river! I've never seen a peach so big!
	She's kinda young for a granny. Her costume and makeup aren't great, but otherwise, it's fine!
	Yep, no complaints here. I couldn't care less about the quality of a school festival!
I enjoyed the play from the perspective of someone totally uninvolved!

Campfire

It's been a wild ride, but our time here is almost over. We're having a bonfire as a send-off!
	A bonfire and a folk dance, huh... I've seen kids' games put together better than this. How quaint.

	That one nerdy guy is especially ridiculous.
	You've got decent moves, but watching you do them so quickly is kind of hilarious...
	If you can squeeze in a few more weird moves, you'd draw even more laughs.
	I'm actually the type who listens intently during concerts...though I do know the basic moves.
	If you laughed, it means my choice of spicing things up with my personal flair was correct!
	Some people are apparently put off by that, but it's hilarious in itself that you didn't notice!
I watched Hifumi's dance and enjoyed myself!

	I should set an example for them.
	Impressive... Each of your moves is spot on, down to your fingertips.
	Showing off past skills seems like something adults would do, so it makes my stomach turn...
	But *someone* needed to show these underachievers the ropes. Was it helpful?
	It sure was. I bet plenty of folks have had to reevaluate their own moves after watching you.
	How nice that you older people watch me and learn. I guess this whim was well worth it.
	Even if you change your path in life, the strength you gained can benefit you in other ways.
	You make it sound like a good thing. I wish I could just bury those skills and be done with it.
	But why *did* I have this whim? A child's heart is as fickle as autumn's weather, I guess.
Oddly, I enjoyed the folk dance...

	I don't want to dance among the older folks.
	Er, are you going to dance, monster girl?
	Indeed. Such an activity is rather nice at times. Are you not going to dance?
	I'll just watch. It'd be difficult to dance among so many tall people.
	Does a difference in height make dance difficult?
	Oh...I guess you'd have a tough time too in that case, huh.
	Oh well... Would you like to try dancing with me before joining the stage?
	If you can manage with me, you should be fine with the others.
	That would be a great help indeed.
	No problem. This might be my one and only chance to get a monster girl to owe me a favor.
	In exchange...please listen to my request the next time I'm in a bind.
	Understood. I will do everything in my power to help should such a time come.
I found an unexpected way to gain a favor from one of the strongest people in the world!

With Swimsuits

Event triggered when playing Development Mode using an S Rank or UR Rank card.

	With Swimsuits
	Yeah... This one's really pretty.
	Oh, Koto-Koto... Collecting sea shells?
	Yes yes, I'm playing like an innocent kid, not doing anything dangerous, no need for meddling.
	No need to be on guard. I don't bite.
	That's what all adults say while they make sweet faces and try to get close to kids.
	Don't worry, I won't get any closer. Though somehow I doubt that'll put you at ease.
	You've picked up a lot of shells. Thinking of making jewelry?
	Yes yes, I'm playing innocently and safely and all that. It's a present for Monaca.
	Monaca is the princess among you, right? Do you get along?
	Of course! Me and Monaca get along the best. I won't give up my position to Masaru or Jataro or Nagisa.
	You sound like a textbook there, Koto-Koto. I thought you were good at acting.
	I'm *acting* like I'm doing that on purpose. It's my way of saying you should leave me alone and go away.
	Fine, fine, I'll stop talking. I'm sure you're uneasy having me around anyway.
	Please do so. Adults should act like adults, and turn a blind eye to naughty children.
	I'm...not sure if I can stay quiet having heard something like *that.*
	Heeey Maaa! Teruteru is about to whip up the *good* stuff!
	Oh? Well, I can't miss out on that. I'll be off now.
	See you around, Koto-Koto. I'd love to see whatever you make once it's done.
	A parent and child who get along as adults, huh.
	Maybe I'll turn a blind eye to that myself. In the world I know, things like that don't exist.

My Future...

Event triggered when playing Development Mode using a UR Rank card.
Requires the player to have seen all other Friendship events during the run.

	My Future...
	Nooo, you can't destroy the world! That's too much fun-- I mean it's horrible!
	Wahaha, just make me stop! I'll make everyone into a diorama!
	And I'll blast anyone who gets in our way to bits! You just sit there and watch, helpless princess!
	You can't... H-Help...
	Someone, please help!
	What the matter, Kotoko!? Something happen!?
	If there bad guy, tell me! Gonta will protect you!
	...
	Yikes, here comes a monster. That wasn't in the script.
	Tsk. We were just about to totally crash the castle, but you went and ruined it!
	Huh? What? Um... What do you mean?
	*sigh*... We were playing pretend. There aren't any bad adults around.
	I-I see. Sorry for interrupt.
	Your screams sound really scared, so Gonta misunderstand.
	It was just an act. I was playing a princess, and it seems I got a little too into the part.
	A princess, how wonderful! It's perfect for you, Gonta think!
	Stop that. It was just a game. Our princess is Monaca.
	She's not here today, so I was standing in for her.
	Can there not be two princess?
	Huh?
	Gonta think you could both be princess.
	Like in the Momotaro play at the festival, there was two of each animal.
	Oh wait. If Monaca is princess too, then there already two princess on the island!
	What!? There's a princess other than Monaca!?
	Aha, I know who you're talking about! You mean the blondie that looks like a porcelain doll!
	Ah...
	Right! Sonia is princess too, so there doesn't have to be only one!
	*sigh*... I can't believe an almost-adult was just more open-minded than me. I'm a failure as a kid.
	Stupid leaps in logic are supposed to be our specialty, and you took that from us.
	S-Sorry, sorry! Gonta no want steal anything from anyone!
	Jeez, you're a hopeless monster! As punishment, you get to be my horse!
	Playing horsey? Leave it to Gonta!
	Today, I'm both a superhero and a super powerful knight!
	Hey, no fair! I'm the princess!
	I should get to ride you first! That's a princess's right!
	Yeah! You can get on too, Kotoko and Jataro! Gonta have real big back, everyone can fit!
	You would let someone as ugly and gross as me ride on your back? What a freak.
	Enough with the self-hating stuff today, Jataro. Get moving! You're holding up the line!
	O-Okay, okay. No need to push. You're hurting me.
	And now I'll be getting on. The horse needs to be gentlemanly while carrying an adorbs princess.

Appearances in Special Events for Other Characters

Potential of Talent

	I should take some beach photos while I'm here. (Mahiru Koizumi)
	How can my photos benefit the coming generation? I've been thinking a lot about that lately. Now's as good a time as any to snap photos around the island and pondering on things, I guess. I should take some beach photos while I'm here.
	Um, excuse me, miss. Did you just take a picture? You did, didn't you? No photography with a permit! Who *knows* how photos of little girls in swimsuits will be used!
	S-Sorry about that. I wasn't trying to take pictures of you without your permission. See, you're not in the shot, Kotoko.
	Hmph...you don't seem to be lying. Pardon my rudeness.
	There was a time when paparazzi would hound me constantly, so I'm sensitive to the shudder sound.
	You *were* a popular child actress... I'm sorry, I should've been more considerate... I know it's their job to get their photos seen, but taking pictures without consent is wrong.
	Exactly. I've seen so many inconsiderate people, from kids to adults.
	I bet you hate photographs, huh, Kotoko?
	I despise them. All the photos from my acting days are probably under the pillows of filthy adults... I bet they're being used for nasty things that could never be said on TV, even bleeped.
	Every single one of my old photos should be burned to ashes.
	I see...
	Psych! That was all an act. I take pictures on my phone too.
	I know! Will you take pictures of me and Monaca? Bad memories of pictures can be overwritten by new pictures!
	Sure thing, just leave it to me. I'll make you two look lovely.
	Make us adorbs, yes please!
The kids allowed me to take their photos...

	Do I still have a path forward as a caregiver? (Maki Harukawa)
	My talent's potential... But which of the two? Do I still have a path forward as a caregiver?
	So you're the Ultimate Child Caregiver. I never knew high-schoolers could be caregivers.
	I'm an exception to the rule. At the orphanage I grew up in, that's all I ever did.
	An orphanage, huh? That's reassuring.
	Reassuring? In what way?
	I bet there weren't as any pesky grownups who considered kids commodities. And the ones taking care of kids were kids themselves, like you were...
	That sounds like paradise! I wish I could live in a place with only kids!
	The kids around me...always dreamed of living with a family.
	But those kids don't understand how much suffering they'd be spared!
	Just kidding. I was acting.
	You must have been through so many tough times already at such a young age... Having a family may not guarantee safety, but the same can be said of the inverse too.
	Are you lecturing me? Just because you're a caregiver doesn't mean you act like a grownup!
	Then...how about visiting the orphanage I grew up in?
	Huh?
	You hate adults, that much is obvious, but you don't mind kids, right? It'd be a nice opportunity for the kids there to be able to make friends with kids outside.
	Make friends, huh...
	Look, this isn't some sort of grownup flattery. It's a sincere invitation.
	I know. You don't seem like the type to lie about stuff like that.
	Well, fine. If you insist, I'll pay a visit.
	Alright, good... I'll be sure to let them all know that I insisted.
I feel like there's more ways than one to be a caregiver.

	How can I make this into a lifelong career? (Sayaka Maizono)
	Unlocking new potential... I could go global, or I could experiment with new styles. I have lots of really simple ideas like that, but I don't think that's what they mean. My potential... The path I choose... My future as an idol? How can I make this into a lifelong career?
	Kotoko, are you ever going to return to the entertainment industry?
	Not a chance! I'm going back to being a normal girl!
	Oh... That's a shame. But I guess it's true that not everyone who finds themselves with success actually wants it... ...and not everyone who wants success will be able to find it--or keep it if they do.
	I, for one, can't understand why anyone would want to be in an industry infested with filthy adults.
	I'm sure by now you've come to understand just how much responsibility it is to be adorable? You *are* as adorbs as they come. The more time you spend around those ugly adults, the sooner you'll want to rid the world of them.
	You're right that this isn't an industry where you can survive on nothing but dreams and ideals.
	But that doesn't invalidate the beauty of the dreams idols showed me as a child. I want to be a part of that world forever.
	It would be one thing if only weirdos like you who enjoyed that hell got suckered into it.
	But well, none of that matters anymore! I'm going to go play with Monaca!
I reflected on some things you need to survive as an idol: desire, good luck, and determination.

Summer Festival

	Every celeb needs a good pair of sunglasses! (Leon Kuwata)
	I was assigned a stall to run, so I'm selling sunglasses I bought around the island! The fact that *I* chose them increases their value tenfold! Man I'm a frickin' genius! Every celeb needs a good pair of sunglasses!
	Leave ancient history in the past where it belongs. That part of my life never happened.
	Really now? I saw commercials with you just last year.
	Last year may as well be forever ago. You adults see everything as recent, it's so stupid!
	There you have it. I don't need your sunglasses unless you have something super adorbs.
She didn't buy anything...

	Kotoko, this way please! (Tenko Chabashira)
	I'm working as a hostess at the restaurant and giving it my very best! WELCOME! LET ME SHOW YOU TO YOUR TABLE! Kotoko, this way please!
	I don't want anything salty or spicy, so just bring me the dessert menu, please!
	Sure, here's the dessert menu. Take your time!
	I know we're in a virtual world and all, but it seems odd that a young girl is out so late...
	No, it's too dangerous! Kotoko, when you're done here, I'll take you home!
	I'm good. Also, you're kinda obnoxious! Are you the type people avoid cuz you're nosy?
	Urgh! Um, uh... maybe, maybe not, who can say for sure, y'know!
I was dealt an unexpected gut punch...

	Ugh, I'll take the cheeky little brat's order. (Toko Fukawa)
	I was assigned to the floor of the restaurant, so I'm stuck out here taking orders... Wh-Why is it so busy? Can't you all come back later!? Ugh, I'll take the cheeky little brat's order.
	Dear me. The walking cloud of filth is going to bring me my food? Did you even bathe yesterday?
	Y-Yes, I did... Smell me for yourself. Now, place your order or leave.
	The only thing I want to smell is Monaca's sweet scent. And bring me your biggest parfait!
	One day, you'll have more cavity than teeth.
I managed to do my job, despite being talked down to!

Campfire

	It was fun having the kids around too. (Kazuichi Soda)
	Best camp I've ever been to. Also the only one, but it was definitely better than any school trip. It was fun having the kids around too.
	Who could have ever guessed that Jataro of all people would take a liking to someone?
	And not just anyone--a greasy tinkerer who probably never washes his jumpsuit.
	Actually no, that part makes perfect sense. You both look like walking sewage, after all.
	Nah man, I wash it at least once a week. Mahiru gets real snippy if I don't.
	I don't want to hear it. No matter how often you wash, you jump straight into the grease afterward.
	I'm sure it's difficult to find someone who has the same *stench* as you.
	That's no joke! Take a sniff!
	You just crossed the line! Now that, take notes, is called harassment!
	I-Is it? Really? Is that why Miss Sonia sometimes frowns at me?
I nearly went into shock.

	Are you having fun, Kotoko? (Komaru Naegi)
	I was worried about being able to enjoy a field trip full of people I didn't even know...
	But now that it's about to end, I feel all sad. I've gotta make the most of this last event. Are you having fun, Kotoko?
	To answer with a question--do you think I'm having fun? We're the only kids on this entire island...
	Adults sure are selfish! They can't even begin to imagine how kids feel!
	Actually...I think they *can* imagine it.
	Then they have less imagination than an ant. They know nothing at all.
	Meanwhile, kids have more imagination than an elephant! How did we let things get this bad?
	If you mean not knowing why the adults invited us to this field trip, then we're in the same boat.
	I had a wonderful time, but...I feel a little relieved thinking about finally going home.
	You don't understand a thing either...
	Huh? Er...
	Um...I'm sorry. I guess not everyone wants to go home, huh...
I watched over the kids playing at the edge of the bonfire venue for a while...

	The kids seem to be enjoying things their own way. (Usami)
	I'll watch over everyone as a teacher as they enjoy themselves. I hope they had a good time! The kids seem to be enjoying things their own way.
	You're great at the folk dance, Kotoko. I want to learn from you.
	With your body, it'd be cuter to come up with special choreography that isn't made for humans!
	I don't normally do this, but I could think up something for you if you'll be my toy!
	Somehow, that makes me feel a little uneasy... But please do compose the choreography!
Kotoko thought up a dance for me, and I danced!

With Swimsuits

	With Swimsuits (Gundham Tanaka)
	Hey Supreme Overlord! Where're your hamsters!?
	Whaaa? Him without hamsters is like soft serve ice cream with just the cone!
	That doesn't even count as ice cream anymore! Ooh, but the cone is crunchy goodness!
	Cease your cacophony. Water is not their forte. Know this--submersion brings them discord!
	You would do well to approach me with caution. A hero is incompatible with a Supreme Overlord.
	I came to defeat you! Without your hamsters at your side, my victory is all but assured!
	If the hammies aren't here, I'm going back to Monaca!
	That noble aura has shattered my many-layered seals and released my power. A hero indeed...
	Grr... I know a thing or two about removing seals, y'know!
	Here's a weird thing I learned recently about... A fighter fets stronger the les they wear.
	I read that in one of beachball guy's comics! I may be the strongest of anyone!
	Do not touch his tomes heedlessly! Who can say what foul curses are contained within!
	Couldn't their sage dispel any curses? And I would appreciate *constructive* criticism.
	You manifest, fiend... Your tomes are forbidden fruits of knowledge and must be sealed away!
	I don't leave inappropriate books around for a kid to see. I quite like not being in prison!
	Ms. Utsugi simply read a slapstick comic of minethat makes frequent reference to RPGs of old.
	Beachball may be a pervert, but he's only into pictures, so he's not quite a fiend. But close.
	Aww, but I wanna slay him! He looks just like a demon in a video game!
	You're the last guy, right, Supreme Overlord? Does that make this round guy your minion?
	I recall no such minion.
	Nor would I want to be one! It may seem we're a perfect match, but we are oil and water indeed.
	Aww! So much for defeating both of you at once! I'll just start with you then! En garde!
	Ah! No! Watch the hands! And my glasses and swimming trunks too! I need those!
	The sea was clear and calm...but all around me, a vortex of chaos began to churn...
	Grgh...It was I who set this into motion. The cursed brand upon my body must be to blame...

	With Swimsuits (Ibuki Mioda)
	And for my next song, I'll be performing an a capella version of "From Me to You Too"!
	Yaaay! I've been waiting for this!
	I thought I heard a lion caught in a bear trap, but I guess it was just Mioda.
	Oh, did you come here to listen to my music too, Kotoko?
	It's less listening, and more checking to see if a murder was in progress.
	I figured you were no good. So few people appreciate the genius of Big Sis Ibuki's music.
	I'm just an ordinary elementary school girl! It's not my fault I don't understand weird art.
	Kotoko is clearly not feelin' it, so I'll call today's rehearsal a wrap.
	But you were just getting to the good part!
	Now, now. Why don't we sing something we can all appreciate instead?
	I'd rather the both of you have fun. Sure beats me hogging the stage to myself...
	So why don't I sing something a little more cheery? Consider it a change of pace!
	Can I choose the song? Korekiyo taught me an interesting one recently. He's a creep, but he's got good taste every now and then.
	Wait a sec! Why are you assuming I'm gonna participate in this singalong?
	Aww, you're not up for it? But I wanna hear you belt one out, Kotoko!
	C'monnn, pretty pleeease!
	It's kinda weird having an older girl whining and begging me for something...
	Have it your way then. I don't mind singing along for just one song.
	Oh, but no more scary songs! I want a song that's both edgy *and* cute!
	This one is perfect then! It's a seance song called "The Caged Child."
	A seance song Korekiyo taught you? I'm kinda starting to have second thoughts!
	But it's been a while since I've sang with others, so I'm getting pumped! Let's rock!

	With Swimsuits (Mahiru Koizumi)
	Phewww... Nothing beats a good soak, and not a single perverted boy's gaze to be found.
	We've got our fair share of creeps here like that cook. I can't help that I'm so cute!
	Kotoko, if he ever tries anything weird, tell us. Sakura will give him a good scolding.
	It's fine, I can defend myself. And believe it or not, that guy isn't into kids.
	Huh, now there's a surprise. I guess even he has some trace of a conscience.
	Even if pervs like Teruteru are no go, doesn't it suck when someone shows zero interest? People like Kazuichi and Korekiyo might be fully devoted to others, so they're out...
	But then you've got Byakuya and Byakuya who see a girl in a swimsuit and recoil in horror!
	Uh...you mean both Byakuyas?
	Maybe they're just bashful or shy. There are plenty of people who seem uninterested but their heads are full of dirty thoughts.
	Hey, cut that out. Nothing good can come of even thinking about that kind of stuff.
	Ah, are you one of those people who don't like talking about this stuff like Hina?
	I mean, not that I like to. But being a model and all, people are always bringing this up.
	It's not that I necessarily dislike an honest conversation with other girls...
	Oh, you mean girl talk? I wanna do some girl talk with Monaca!
	How 'bout it, Mahiru? Up for a little girl talk?
	I know you're always getting mad at stupid boys, but how do you *really* feel?
	Uh...what're you implying?
	C'mon, I know you want someone to notice your girlish charms. So who is it?
	Whoa, wait a sec! I'm fine with girl talk, but I wasn't ready for something like that!
	Innnteresting. Does that mean there is someone? Who is it? Are they in your class!?
	Wh-What about you, Junko?
	Hmm. Now *that's* a secret!
	Jeez, you can't just ask me and not answer back!
	This conversation is gonna give me diabetes. I wanna talk syrup and sugar with Monaca too!

	With Swimsuits (Masaru Daimon)
	Alright, I'm number one again!
	Wow, you're so fast, Masaru! You're like ZOOOOOOM all the way to the finish line.
	Heheh, that means I get Monaca all to myself!
	...
	Heeey, you guuuys! You're too slow! Do I have to go over and carry you?
	Stop your yelling... We're right here, we can hear you fine.
	I just finished washing off, yet I'm already sticky again. Let's get back to swimming.
	My face is all soggy... I bet my face got a hundred times uglier too.
	It isn't fair to decide on what to play next with a race! Don't you agree, Monaca?
	Hmm. I think talking it out is best, but...
	If you and Nagisa do the talking, we'd just end up playing your games, wouldn't we? Using a different method once in a while lets Masaru get in his game too--that's important.
	True, but a race like this is basically rigged. We might as well just let him pick the game.
	You! Have! To! Run! The! Race! Monaca! Likes! To! Watch! It!
	I-I'm sorry! I wasn't trying to say that I'm unhappy with your decision...
	Ooh, now you've gone and got Monaca mad! Guess we'll have a race for her forgiveness!
	Ugh... Now we have to run more? Solidarity sucks...
	I thought the race was to decide what to play. Since when did the race become the objective...
	Next, we run to the beach! Then we swim, then we run again! It's races till we drop today!

	With Swimsuits (Nagisa Shingetsu)
	Look, Monaca! We're here! This is our newest secret base!
	Ooh, it looks so fun! We could live like kings and queens here.
	The Ultimates sometimes come to the amusement park, but they rarely go near the funhouse.
	We should be able to use it as we see fit.
	What a wonderful discovery! Well done as always, Nagisa and Kotoko.
	It was nothing! We aren't like those slackers Masaru and Jataro!
	Masaru is obsessed with running around the island, and Jataro is obsessed with his "art"...
	Good grief, what a pain. It was a group decision to build our own base.
	It's very childlike to get obsessed with something fun. That's a good thing!
	Nagisa and Kotoko...from here on, we'll do as we please at this base.
	Then let's get started right away and eat a bunch of sweets with Monaca!
	Yep, we can eat anything we want. There's nobody to stop us here.
	I...suppose I'll go change my clothes. We took the sea route so nobody would see us, so we're still in swimsuits...
	We need to find an easier route. Maybe if we dig a hole that only kids can fit through...
	Let's ask Masaru about a route. He's running all over, so maybe he knows about a secret path.
	Ah... That's right! That's our Monaca!
	So smart, so cute... I wanna bury you in whipped cream and eat you so right up!
	We need to find route so we can bring over all the things we'll need.
	And once we do...our base will be complete.

My Future...

	My Future... (Celestia Ludenberg)
	Ah, I could live off of this special deluxe gyoza. It seems even the Monokubs have their merits.
	In a way, you're really impressive, Celeste.
	My, what is this all of a sudden? Flattery won't get you any of my gyoza, you know.
	Gyoza is ugly anyway! No thanks! I'll stick with my shaved ice with extra condensed milk!
	But it's carefree exchanges like this that make it so hard to believe this field trip is almost over.
	Most of the others are doing their assignments, sorting out their feelings, doing other stuff...
	But you're the same as always. I want to grow up to be just like you.
	I understand the point of this camp, but I don't think there are any new efforts to be made.
	I already have a solid dream that I advance toward at all times.
	No other student's heart is as filled with hope as great as mine. I can say that much confidently.
	So even without doing anything special, you'll obtain a Hope Fragment... Is that the idea?
	Indeed. Of that I am certain.
	Wow...you really *are* amazing. But you'd kill the mood of any tea party, so I'd never invite you.
	I don't mind. It's not like I'd want to be invited anyway.
	All you Ultimates are so weird. I knew that from the moment I met the writing prodigy.
	Won't you eventually be joining that weird group?
	Nope! Us kids are going to die pure, long before we turn into adults.
	You can go on living without becoming adults. I intend to live forever in this form, you know.
	Are you playing pretend? I'm pretty good at that too.
	You want to live with vampires, right? Monaca said so.
	Oh my... She spoke of my dream to others? That girl is a troublesome one.
	I can understand not aging then. No normal human would live among vampires, after all.
	Exactly. I won't age a day, and I'll live forever, closed off from time and the outside.
	Sign me up! I want to stay how I am forever too!

	My Future... (Himiko Yumeno)
	Y-Yes, I did it... The ultimate beach magic... The fruits of my last three years of work!
	Holy crap. You went into the water on a Monobeast, how did you come out from the sandcastle!?
	Sweet stuff! Not bad for an evil witch!
	You had me on the edge of my seat! I thought my heart would explode up until the very end. Bravo!
	Nyeh. Excellent. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
	What did you think? So blown away your words can't find your tongue?
	Oh, hardly. It's just a trick.
	But I did enjoy the show. I suppose it is nice to be on this side of the stage on occasion.
	Well, well. I'm glad you had a good time.
	Heya Himiko. You said you prepared the whole show yourself, yes?
	So tell me, did you build the big sandcastle too?
	With magic, yes. It's nothing compared to your set designs, but it gets the job done.
	Yeah, you did good. Atua is always watching over you, and He knows how hard you worked.
	If you can handle all this, you should be fine all on your own now.
	Nyeh?
	I'm relieved. After graduation, I won't always be available to help like I am now.
	S-Slow down. This is a special occasion. Today was a one-mage show, but not all of them will be.
	But big shows and especially tours take the work of many people to plan and execute.
	And I was hoping you could lend a hand with set design for my next tour...
	You were?
	Yeah. I can't do this without you.
	It's not me, but Atua who does all the work. Don't forget the name of your god.
	Without you, I can't have Atua make anything. So it's all the same thing--I need you, Angie!
	Atua has spoken... Extend thy hand to she who dost need it most, size of sacrifice negotiable.
	Nyahahahaha, there you have it. I'll be happy to help out.
	O-Oh, thank goodness! You're a lifesaver, Angie!
	*sigh* Those theatrics of yours had me scared half to death. I thought you were moving away.
	I wasn't sure our paths would still cross. We won't be in school, nor are you a believer...
	And yet, we remain together evermore. Atua works in mysterious ways.
	But don't forget about the sacrifice.
	D-Does your god not accept bank transfers?
	That depends on your negotiation skills, nyahahahaha!

	My Future... (K1-B0)
	Then Momotaro obtained the treasure of Onigashima and returned home to his grandparents...
	And they all lived happily ever after.
	And there you have it! The world's first dramatic reading under the starts by a genuine robot!
	Yeah, it wasn't half bad! Being able to watch the stars all the while was a darn nice touch!
	Of course a robot would be articulate. That's about the best thing I can say about it.
	And why choose the same story as Sakura and the others? I practically fell asleep halfway in!
	I heard that Byakuya was responsible for the acting direction... D-Did I mishear that?
	Ouch, you guys are brutal. I was hoping to have *positive* memories of our last days here.
	Even Shirokuma was able to act. How could I, an Ultimate, fall so short?
	Right, about that, uh...Shirokuma didn't exactly win any best actor awards himself.
	I directed Keebo, therefore this outcome falls on me as well. Evidently my talent was lacking.
	If anything, your teaching was *too* good for someone like me. It wasn't your fault, Byakuya.
	I wasn't able to entertain everyone solely due to my own lack of talent.
	No, I should have adapted my teaching method.
	A robot acting as a human... I suppose there are limits to my imposter talents after all.
	Makes sense. A human acting as another human at least has an idea of how the role should feel...
	But a robot acting as a human? Yeah, I could see that being a little more tricky.
	Do you think...I'm a lost cause?
	That's entirely up to you! It may be a challenge, but with the right approach I bet you can do it!
	The right approach...
	There's obviously differences between humans and robots. Compensate for that and you'll be golden!
	Like, y'know how Momotaro comes floating down the river in front of the old lady doing laundry?
	Would a robot even think about picking him up and eating him?
	Oh...you're right. I don't even eat in the first place, so I'd pay no mind to a peach!
	Exactly! That's the way you'd think. But the old lady is different!
	Don't just read the lines, read *between* them. Know the difference and pick up that peach.
	That way, I'm sure your acting will be a little more believable.
	Right... That's a good advice. I think I could do that!
	Even accustomed to becoming others, that's advice I couldn't give. Is this from your own experience?
	Nah. But what kinda hero would I be if I didn't give out advice to those in need!
	I'm so different from humans.
	No matter how hard I try, I doubt I'll ever understand everything about them.
	But learning what makes humans human, what makes me *me*, and valuing those differences...
	Our differences aside, I think I may be possible to bridge that divide.
	Indeed, surely that's one of your possibilities.
	Alright then! I'm going to give this dramatic reading one more shot!
	I'll put a lot of thought into the characters' actions and their motivations...
	I'll put the most persuasive performance I can! So everyone, please come and watch me again!
	Yeah! Sounds like a plan! Just be sure you do it under the stars again and I'm there!
	If you don't mind, allow me to make an appearance as well. I must reconsider the concept of acting.
	Of course. Let's become the best movie stars we can possibily be!
	Was...that the point of all of this?
