Chapter Text

Hajime Hinata was helping Sonia Nevermind and Gundham Tanaka with their bags. While the three were walking, Hajime spoke up. "I thought you two would be all over this camping trip. I mean, you both seem to be the type of people who loves nature, so how come you're not going?"

The Ultimate Princess smiled and spoke up. "Well, as much as I would love to go on a trip out into the wilderness with you hella fine dudes, unfortunately I cannot. It is my duty as a Princess to establish connections between other countries and hopefully start trade deals and Angie has given me the opportunity to go to her home country, therefore I must accept her invitation. I do hope that you all enjoy your trip." Hajime simply nodded at her response and looked at Gundham who remained silent for a few seconds, before covering his face with this scarf.

"I simply do not feel it is fit for a Maiden to go to unknown lands by herself and therefore as an ambassador to the demons of Hell, it is my duty to protect the future ruler of this place." Hajime was weirded out by Gundham’s language however Sonia was beaming with joy, so Hajime simply remained silent and smiled. The two went off to their next destination as Hajime ran back to the rest of his class.

The two waved to Hajime as he ran off and walked by themselves. "So then, what do you think Angie's Island will be like?"

Gundham then spoke up, "I do not believe it will be as magnificent as the underworld, nor your kingdom." Sonia chuckled and the two kept walking onwards, until they found Angie Yonaga, the Ultimate Artist, who was a smaller than average, although she was taller than the smallest.

Angie was also on a boat and waving to the two. "Nyahaha! Angie welcomes you to the boat!" The two waved back as they got on her boat. It was smaller than a cruise ship, but still big enough to not feel cramped. "Anyway, Angie has looked around and she sees lots of things to do while we head to our island, therefore I hope that Atua gives us salvations!" The other two nodded and boarded the ship.

Sonia and Gundham found a nice table to sit at and decided to simply get a meal, with Sonia cooking for the two humans and Gundham cooking for his hamsters. Then they sat down at a nice table and began to eat. "I'm glad you could come along with me Gundham, it's nice having a familiar face with me who isn't from the royal family, especially since I'm traveling into unknown territory by myself for the first time." Gundham began to blush.

"It-It is no problem. It is only natural for an ambassador to the demons of Hell to protect the future ruler of both this world and hell." Now he's hiding his blush with his scarf, causing Sonia and the Divas to chuckle.

"So, then guys, What'cha Doin'?" Angie popped up from the window causing the two to scream and the hamsters to panic, forcing Gundham to try and round them up.

The boat eventually reached the island Angie came from and they all got off the boat, and found it wasn't the largest dock in the world, but it was still surprisingly big. "Do people visit your island often Angie?"

"Nyahaha! Of course, people always want to know more about Atua, so we let them all visit our island, they just have to ask!" This came to a shock to the Ultimate Princess, although Gundham was unsurprised.

"Fair enough, I suppose then it is not a tradition that is solely carried out by the Kingdom of Noveslic then." Sonia smiled at Angie, who then led them to a tour bus and the three found a place to sit on the top floor of the bus. Gundham looked a little bit uncomfortable but didn't say anything and was more focused on keeping the Dark Divas of Destruction from destroying anything or jumping out of the bus.

Then the bus started moving, and surprisingly there wasn't many people on the bus, so at least that meant that Angie was able to be an effective explainer.

The first thing they saw was a giant painting, as in the paper was as high the peak of the tallest mountain and as wide as the base of the mountain. The drawing was off a humanoid figure shining a bright light with many different features, so many it's impossible to count. There were at least a dozen people all painting at once, all from different locations, yet working on one same goal. "That painting... There's so much going on with it and yet it seems coherent..." Sonia and Gundham were in awe of the magnificence of the painting, with only the former being able to mutter whispers, for that is the painting allowed.

Angie was surprisingly calm when staring at the painting. "This is our island's biggest tribute to Atua. He takes on many forms to everyone, despite being the same person, and his greatness cannot be contained to a simple painting. So, it was decided to build this to please him, and to thank him for everything he has done for us. It is nothing compared to what he has done of course, but it's what we as a culture are the best at, and he deserves nothing less than the greatest we can muster."

Gundham spoke up. "This, this is simply unearthly. I have travelled the paths of hell and other worlds many times, for I am a traveler who must always continue to move forward throughout the cosmos, and this is one of the most enthralling sights I have seen in my many lifetimes." The Dark Divas were also stood completely still, staring at the monument with the same awe that everyone who had visited the island.

Sonia however soon managed to wipe her look of her face to help her emote more effectively, that wasn't to say it wore off on her, but she had to keep up appearances. "I'm sure that Atua would love this. Even if they have done a lot more than this for you, it's the fact that like those holidays were children give gifts to their parents, the parents have done way more, but it's not the present that matters, however it's the love and care put in and Atua would see how much love and care you put in, or at least that is the way that I see it." Her voice was polite yet had the elegance of a princess giving a speech to her people, which is quite fitting.

Angie didn't turn to them, still focused on her people's painting, however she had a great big smile on her face. The bus came to a halt, which made the Artist jump up, super high, out of her chair. "Nyahaha! Onwards to the first stop!" The other two were still focused on the painting, so she went across the side of the bus, hanging from the edge. "So, then guys, are you coming, are you, are you?" She was tilling her head and body from time to time like a bobble-head doll, causing the two to jump up in shock as Angie jumped off onto the ground.

They were still shocked and scared, so they got their things and ran off to see if Angie was OK, which she thankfully was. "Sometimes I cannot tell if she's a demon sent by the Devil or just a normal person." Gundham quietly whisper to himself, causing Sonia to panic, trying to shut him up.

However, it was too late, Angie heard, and her face turned dark. "I am a messenger from Atua, and Atua is no devil, right Gundham?" Both of the Ultimate's faces contorted into ones of fear as they quickly nodded in agreement with the Artist. "Nyahaha! Glad to know, anyway you too, come with me!" They followed her to the building that featured lots of artists painting, making models, statues, those types of things.

The building was a huge hall, which the three walked down seeing the people working was quite the sight. "Wh-Wh-What in the name of the underworld is happening." Gundham started to blush and wrapped his scarf around his face at supersonic speed. The girls turned to where he was looking and saw a person painting a naked person.

"Oh, that is surprising, you also have art exhibitions that allow anything to be drawn?" Gundham's face turned into one of horror as he heard Sonia speak about their lack of restraint.

"Oh no, this is our recreational area, so we recreate the many feats that Atua has accomplished in art form. We don't want to bowdlerize it since then it would be a disrespect to Atua." Sonia nodded while Gundham was still in shock over what he had just witnessed and overheard, he eventually decided to rush on ahead, causing the two naive females to follow him.

The next area was an area for beginner artist, judging by the sign which seemed to signal that, although they couldn't tell exactly due to not knowing the language that it was written in. Noticeably, the artists were constantly messing up, as they were going over areas that had already been painted, something that Sonia picked up on. "Hey, would it not be smarter to start over, so then the paint colours do not get mixed up?"

Angie chuckled at this notion. "Of course not, it would be a waste of paper! Besides Atua wipes away any mistakes we make, including on paper! Therefore, we have no need for resets or redos." Gundham looked very confused, as did his hamsters, and Sonia was as well, but less obviously so.

Soon it became nighttime and everyone was making fireworks. As in making works of art using fire. They were making clay sculptures by melting the clay and then creating a model while it quickly dried, and some people were racing. The fire was under control, but it was also huge, therefore meaning the non-artists, and Angie, had to stay very far away. Meanwhile the scarfed man suddenly shouted with joy. "Hahaha! These fires are glorious, straight from the flames of Pandemonium!"

"Oh, my goodness, is that safe?" However, Sonia was intensely panicking.

Angie simply laughed at the fears. "Nyahahaha, of course it is." However, she soon turned dark. "If it wasn't then they clearly weren't believing in Atua enough." Once again, the two other Ultimates became scared at the white-haired Ultimate as the area around her turned darker than the night sky the three were under. They quietly nodded at her and watched the festivities, as did Gundham's hamsters.

Then they went up to a building, and a big one at that to discuss princess things. Angie was translating everything for Sonia, who was very interested in the goings on about the place. Gundham meanwhile was stuck outside, since they didn't want to risk anything going wrong. Gundham was surprisingly calm about this, as it gave him time to look after the Dark Divas. He got some seeds out and peacefully feed them to his hamsters. Some of the tourists and inhabitants of the island soon crowded the group, which caused them to get pretty spooked and embarrassed, since even if Gundham couldn't understand their words, he had seen people gush over his hamsters so many times. Despite seeing the event take place a lot, it was still embarrassing for him.

Sonia and Angie then came out and had to pry him and his hamsters away, which he was thankful for.

Soon enough, the three were in the boat heading back to the house, as the tour had ended, and Angie had nothing left to show them and Sonia had done her duty. The group went back to the mainland after a relaxing boat ride home.

"Before we got home, I got a souvenir from the island, this statue of a paintbrush! But overall it's very surprising and confusing how all of their culture is based on artwork, and yet they don't really ship it, I mean people would most likely commission a lot of things from them and also they'd get a lot of money if they offered, it makes no sense. Plus, they have so much faith in this Atua, they were going into fire with faith that he'd keep them safe, and Gundham made a comment and Angie turned scary! I got the leader to agree to a deal though, so that's nice! Still how did your trip go?" Sonia was speaking to Hajime who was clearly lacking in sleep.

"Glad to see you guys didn't get hurt. Unfortunately, the bus strength was so bad it took me and Nagito on a road trip. Plus, Kokichi somehow got on the trip, and saw me and Chiaki in a tent together, and so I tried to... teach him a lesson." Sonia was clearly shocked at all of the things that happened to Hajime, as well as other things.

"You two were in the same tent? But isn't that sexual in nature? Also, I am truly sorry that you got stuck with Kokichi sneaking up on you." Hajime yawned in a familiar fashion, causing Sonia to chuckle. "It seems that you and Chiaki are more alike than any of us could had expected. No wonder she was so determined to get you into the class." Hajime simply smiled.

"Guess I need one way to tell people that Chiaki's my girlfriend I suppose, also nothing sexual happened between us. I just needed time with someone I could really trust I suppose." Hajime was barely keeping awake, although he did try to put on a brave face.

"I do have those moments with Gundham, so I can understand where you're coming from. Anyway, it's pretty late, we should go to bed, night Hajime!" Sonia got up and helped Hajime up, causing the boy to be slightly embarrassed, before they both walked to their rooms, ending their rather interesting day.
