Terror Infinity Side B
Chapter 5, Dangan Ronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls
Three hours have passed since Shin was left behind. In the end accepting that he couldn't follow after either Izuru Kamukura or his brainwashed comrades... he could only sit on the floor on the hospital rooftop in deep thought. Shin was a little out of his mind as he looked at the details of his mission and would occasionally look out into the distance. This was the world of Dangan Ronpa. A world where Hope and Despair clashed against one another.
In Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls of the Dangan Ronpa series followed the younger sister of the hero of Dangan Ronpa 1, Komaru Naegi. She was held captive in the city of Towe City and was caught up in riots/revolution against the adults of the city caused by five traumatized and warped children, the Warriors of Hope, and their army of brainwashed children the Monokuma Kids and their weapons of mass slaughter the Monokuma Robots. The Warriors of Hope kill en masse, kill the adults of the city, and take it over as the new rulers and they have fun hunting down the surviving adults. A game they call Demon Hunting. Komaru attempts to first escape Towe City alongside Toko Fugikawa, and later towards the end finds the courage to face the Warriors of Hope. There's more to the plot like the ultimate goal of the Warriors of Hope, but that was the basic premise of Dangan Ronoa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls.
That was the world of Dangan Ronoa Another Episode and it was Shin's task to compete a mission from God in this world along with completing the Guide Test assigned to him. Shin must defeat the Guide Izuru Kamukura along with his six comrades. Aqua, Hikari, Shuai, Connor, Jin and Kisara needed to be defeated by his own hands. This was the second objective that was maybe even more important than the the main mission. Shin looked at his watch to reconfirm his objectives.
◆ Objective 1 - Escort Komaru Naegi. Help her escape Towe City safety, or chose to help her defeat the Warriors of Hope and save Towe City from their control.
◆ Objective 2 - Defeat the Guide, Izuru Kamukura and complete fusion.
Shin: "Sounds simple enough on paper, but this being a twenty man mission and losing all the veterans... all my comrades is just... *SIGH*, and having only Newbies to rely on make this mission worse. Possibly near impossible, but what really throws me off are the rewards. If one completes all Main Mission and all the Side Quest then not only myself, but everyone will receive a major power up including the weakest members."
◆ Base Survival Reward: 1000 Points.
◆ Combat Mission Reward: 2000 Points and C rank reward.
◆ God's Test Mission Reward: The Leader Position will be unlocked, Team Member Recommendations will be unlocked, Free Distribution will be Unlocked, Mission Preview will be Unlocked, Enemy Team Elimination Unlocked, and Level up in the Leader's Genetic Constraint Stage.
◆ Orientation - The first player to explain to the New Players the inner workings of Missions, Exchanges and how to return home 100 Points.
◆ Monokuma Robot KILL - Every 10 Monokuma defeated rewards 1 Point. Every 10 Bomber Monokuma defeated rewards 5 Points. Every 5 Siren Monokuma defeated rewards 1 Points. Every Junk Monokuma defeated rewards 5 Points. Every Guard Monokuma defeated rewards 1 Points. Every Beast Monokuma defeated rewards 10 Points. Every Ball Monkumas defeated rewards 10 Points. Every Destroy Monokuma defeated rewards 50 Points.
◆ Warriors of Hope Overthrown - Defeating four members of the Warriors of Hope awards every member 2000 points and C rank reward. Defeating Monaca Towa awards every member 4000 points and C rank reward. Defeating Monaca is not included in the first part of this Side Quest.
◆ Team Japan GENOCIDE - Defeating a member of Team Japan, both Players rewarded 2000 Points and C rank reward. Defeating an unlocked member of Team Japan, both Players rewarded 7000 Points and B rank reward.
◆ GOOD ENDING - Reach the Good Ending of Dangan Ronpa Another Episode - Ultra Despair Girls, defeating Big Bang Monokuma. Rewards every member 3000 Points and B rank reward. Doing without Komaru doubles the rewards.
Shin's mind continued to boggle uncontrollably as he saw all the rewards. If he completed the Main Mission and all Side Quest (Excluding a solo take down of Big Bang Monokuma), he could acquire 49,000 Points, 2A, 1B and 1 C rank reward at minimum, and will also gain the benefits of the Leader position which includes an increase in the Genetic Constraint stage. Any Newbies who survived will gain 12,000 Points; 2B and 1C rank reward even if all they do is survive to the end. The veterans can't gain most of the rewards for the side quest, but with the exception of Shuai they will end up with 10,000 Points, 1B and 1C rank reward, with Shuai 5000 points and 2C rank rewards.
The mission despite the dangers was broken to the extreme to say the least. There were just too many rewards for just one mission. Shin once thought about just how much one Player or Team could be allowed to obtain in any one mission. God wants Players to evolve and the points needed to return to the real world were 50,000 points. Shin always assumed that while it was possible to slowly save up points and rewards like how the Four Pillars do for their teams to return to the real world, but God would never allow a mission where one Player could acquire 50,000 points all at once to return to the real world. Unless you had no attachment to the real world or were insane one would chose to return if given the chance. That's why God at random increase the difficulties of missions, so one absolutely has to enhance themselves and are not allowed to save up a large amounts of points at once. If they don't use those saved up points then they are likely to die.
That's why Shin found it odd. If he killed enough Monokumas to fill up the small remaining amount he could obtain the 50,000 points to return to the real world if he completed the mission to 100% of its potential. Shin found this way too out of place... unless this was God's aim. Not to get Shin to leave God's Dimension, but to vastly increase his fighting potential with close to 50,000 points and high tier rank rewards all so he could confront the other Teams of the Four Pillars. This conclusion made the most sense to Shin, yet... it also frightened him that the other teams were so much stronger than Team Japan that God had to force such a challenge on them to allow them to quickly catch up to them.
Shin: "Still, this is a chance. I can't imagine a perfect victory, but if it's possible Team Japan's power will rise by many tiers. Shit, my greed is blinding me to how difficult this mission really is. I have to escort and keep alive the main character while fending off the attacks from the Warriors of Hope and my own comrades. At the very least I can't imagine protecting the Newbies as well. Lucky this isn't a Team Battle, so I don't-"
Random Newbie: “What points? What horror movies, but now Manga and Anime? Shit, what is this place?”
It was then that the Newbies stirred into consciousness from their deep sleep. A lot of time had passed since they arrived in the Mission World, yet they were asleep for all the previous events when Team Japan met the Guide and that was hours ago. The Guide kept the Newbies asleep despite their lives being on the line as well, so Shin took that to mean that he didn't consider them important, or better yet had the ability to survive the mission.
This was more than fine with Shin.
Shin would very much like to see if any of the thirteen Newbies had potential to join his team, but at this moment they were not his concern. Completing the mission and rescuing his comrades was all that mattered to him at this time and so he didn't plan to take any action to protect the Newbies. Putting aside past bad experiences with Newbies Shin was only one man, one person and he already had to protect the main character Komaru, and thus had no room to become their savior even if he was willing to.
The Newbies were currently confused about what was going on and kept asking Shin questions, but he ignored them and looked at the Newbies quietly. Shin didn't have plans to be there protector, yet if there were any capable men and women who could assist him during this time he would welcome them as trial members of Team Japan. There were nine men and four women this time. All the men were between ages twenty to thirty and were all somewhat fit. The women were between the ages twenty to forty with most looking weak and feeble. Among this group two stood out to Shin. A man in a tank top and silver cross necklace around his neck and a woman in a white nurse's uniform.
The man in the tank top and cross necklace was not Japanese, but European. He looked to be in his late 20's, yet his body was in such great shape with thick muscles and could easily be mistaken to by in his early 20's. Another indicator of his youth was that his short hair was dyed the color vermillion. It was an odd combination, yet it somehow suited the man. Shin had yet to speak to the man, but he felt that the man was the easy going type and this was further proven as how he was chatting up the few females of the group.
The next was the nurse. The nurse had black hair that came down to her neck and looked both Japanese with some Chinese traits mixed in. She looked no older than 25 and was incredibly beautiful, but different from Shin's harem. If Aqua is a young woman with a mature aura, Hikari a small and cute girl, and Kisara a stunning beauty... than this woman was a true honest to goodness ice queen. Not close to zero emotion like Saki, but a woman who gives off a cold aura that freezes the passionate hearts of men drawn in by her beauty. A few men had still tried to approach her as she was a sexy woman in a nurse uniform, but a few short words that Shin missed had all the men running away with the exception of tank top man.
Shin saw that everyone was awake now and ready to for an explanation. He then clapped his hands and addressed everyone.
Shin: “Okay. I'm going to explain the current situation. Everyone listen carefully. I am only going to say this once.”
Shin wanted to hurry up the orientation as he expected Komaru to arrive any minute, yet the newbies weren't calming down to listen. One man was even saying that Shin was too rude to say he'll only explain once, but before he could finish the sentence, bang! A kick came and the man was knocked flying a good distance and crashed into the far off fence. The man was still alive, but he was very slow to get back up and was in intense pain. The tank top man and nurse's gaze towards Shin intensified seeing that display of power and the speed to reach his target before anyone could react. Some of the other Newbies looked like they wanted to gang up on Shin to stop his violence, but the sudden appearance of the Auto 9 from the Na Ring shut them up quite easily. Shin then shot a single bullet into the air to gain everyone's full and undivided attention,
Shin: “I am not joking with you! I have my own team to worry about. I really don't have time to deal with you, yet here I am at least trying to tell you what is going on. Tell me, do you want to fucking die!?”
Shin pointed the Auto 9 at the thirteen Newbies and put up their hands to show that they meant no harm, yet the nurse and tank top man just stood still. Shin liked that the two didn't try anything or that they didn't lose themselves in the presence of a gun being pointed at them. Shin then sat down on the floor of the roof and looked all the Newbies in the eye.
Shin: “Listen to me carefully. This world is different from the one you know. This is a world with endless terrors born from Manga, Anime, Light Novels, Visual Novels and Video Games. You will live in this world and go through one mission after another until you die or collect enough points to go back to the real world.”
They looked at Shin’s gun with fear in their hearts and didn't object yet to the madness of what he was saying, and Shin ignored them and continued.
Shin: “Points mean every time you survive a mission, you will earn 1000 basic points. Some missions have Side Quest that you can complete for extra points and even the more valuable ranked rewards. You can find such things if you look on your Player Watch. We can go over this more in detail later. After you finish a mission, you will enter a place called God’s dimension. There you can use your points to exchange many things including weapons and medications and even enhance your body to become a super human. Rank Rewards are used for the higher level exchanges. This is basically it. Also, you can go back to the real world once you save up 50,000 points. The missions we are in now is the third game of the Dangan Ronpa series, Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls. I think people who have played the game it should be familiar with the plot... but seeing as you’re all adults I won't expect you to know. If you haven’t seen it, don’t worry. You just need to follow the main character, Komaru Naegi up to a certain point and hide. I won't expect you to fight the Monokuma, so just don't get in Komaru's way. That's it, take care of yourself as I don't have the means to protect you all. If we can go back to God’s dimension alive, then we will have a drink to celebrate and can watch some Anime together."
As Shin talked, he noticed that high in the skies above an airship hidden behind a dark cloud had shown itself. It was the base of operations for the Warriors of Hope and soon Komaru Naegi will be parachuting down. It was highly likely that this was a sign that the mission had begun or was about to begin. At the same time, he received the 100 points notification from God. Hikari was usually the one to gain these points, but this time in her absence he was allowed for the first time to acquire them.
- SIDE QUEST REWARD 1, ORIENTATION. 100 POINTS!
Shin: "Nice! Now, the thirteen of you, say your name, occupation, and what you’re good at. I will give you thirty seconds each. The main character is due to appear any second, so I need to know this if you want to live."
After hearing what Shin had to say most of the newbies looked at him in shock! These people didn’t believe his words, but that was reasonable. A psychologically normal person wouldn’t believe these words so easily, except if the person was an idiot... but when the truth was in front of them they had no room to argue. One Newbie looked beyond the rooftop down on the streets and saw the carnage. Dead bodies, half destroyed buildings, and childish graffiti everywhere. Whether they liked it or not what Shin said seemed to be the truth. Shin was glad that with a setting like Dangan Ronpa he didn't need to try so hard to convince Newbies and almost wished that all new Player batches were so easily convinced... and it was then that the tank top man took this moment to approach Shin. Previously he seemed eager to get to know the females of the group, but now his eyes turned serious. Shin didn't know what he wanted, but he stood up anyway to see what he wanted.
Drake: "Yo! I have a few things to speak to you about... ah..."
Shin: "It's Shin. I'm the leader of Team Japan."
Drake: "Then Mr. Shin, can I ask about a few things? First, you said that there are other veterans aside from you and you formed a team. Are they also as strong as you? How can we join your team?”
This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
Shin: "There are others and are as strong as me with their own sets of talents, but for some unexpected reasons they have left. I have to go find them as we escort the main character. You look like a decent guy and haven't been overwhelmed by the environment. Normally I would try to recruit guys like you into the team, but I don't have such a luxury. If you can stay alive till the end and not get in my way we can talk about official membership later."
Drake: "I see. I understand. You’re in the middle of a Guide's Test after all. I really thought those had disappeared."
Shin: "I thought so as well, but here we are..."
Shin and the tank top man seemed to be engaged in a friendly enough conversation, but all of a sudden the chill of killing intent could be felt by all. Shin had noticed a few things by the way the man carried himself and now adding in that he knew about the Guide Test Shin was certain that the man knew had previous information about God's Dimension. Shin instantly raised the hand holding the Auto 9 at tank top man, but a swift kick knocked the gun out of his hands.
Drake: "Sorry! I have no ill will, but I need to know if I should follow you or not!"
Tank top man then tackled Shin with unexpected force that forced him back three steps. Shin was taken back as he was someone with inhuman strength from enhancements, yet he felt slight pain from the tackle. Shin looked back at tank top man who charged forward to attack again and noticed two things. One there was an aura of energy around the man's body different from Ki, but still somewhat familiar. The second... the man was in Unlocked Mode.
Tank top man in the First Stage of the Genetic Constraint lunged forward and grabbed Shin's right arm and used all his weight to dislocate that arm. The force was so great that it would have ripped off a normal man's arm, yet to the man's surprise he couldn't even budge that arm, much less dislocate or rip it off. Shin had entered the Second Stage of Unlocked Mode in that instant and coated his arm in Silver Dragon Scales. Tank top man was using the full weight of his body to dislocate Shin's arm, yet not even touching the ground anymore he was only hanging from the expanded arm with silver pigment skin.
Shin: "The First Stage, judo, and some kind of energy? No ill will you said, right? That's nice. I really do wish that you’re a comrade and not an enemy tank top man!"
Shin with his free hand grabbed the neck of tank top man and ripped him away from his arm. Tank top man tried to resist, but Shin's strength in the Second Stage was far greater than his own even in the First Stage and could only watch as his face was slammed into the rooftop floor and lose consciousness. Shin felt relieved that that the battle was over, yet the others were left speechless.
The sudden and swiftly match between the two had confused and freighted the Newbies. Their speed and power were well beyond what normal humans could achieve and they were in shock... all except one. A woman in the crowd of Newbies without any changes on her face drew a weapon from her pocket and without releasing any killing intent swiftly threw it at Shin! Still in Unlocked Mode Shin without knowing what was going and moving just to protect his life raised his free hand not pinning tank top man to the floor caught an object flying towards his neck.
The action was lighting fast and Shin had moved automatically without forethought. When he realized what was going on he had already caught an object, a long thin needle that was going to stab him through his neck. Seeing this Shin looked over towards the group of Newbies with bloodlust in his eyes. All the Newbies shrieked and took a step back to get away from the man, yet one woman, the woman in a nurse uniform stood her ground with her hands raised up as if surrendering. Shin just looked at the face of the cold woman who didn't look to be the least bit sorry for her attempted murder, but he did notice one thing. Her eyes as well we're out of focus which was an indicator of being in Unlocked Mode.
Sachi: "Impressive. Without warning or killing intent behind my attack you perfectly caught a needle thrown at 200 MPH. Also, you’re not rolling around on the ground having *caught* the needle with your bare hands. I guess I can tag along with you for now."
Shin: "Ha?"
Shin didn't know what the nurse was talking about with that last part, but then understood as he was rolling the thin needle in his hand. As he examined his hand the skin around hs fingers grasping the needle had turned slightly gray.
Sachi: "I coated my needles with a powerful neurotoxin, yet your skin has only slightly discolored from contact. You must have a high Cell Vitality and Immunization Strength stats, or a high tier mutation. Really... what a letdown. A normal person just coming into contact with the poison coated onto the needle would cause even a strong willed soldier to cry out in pain. You could at least tear up a little for me Team Japan leader."
After saying this, the cold woman startled to giggle to herself in a creepy way. All the Newbies and even Shin himself were creeped out more than a little by the sight and a single word floated to the surface of their minds.
Sadist.
A sadist had appeared before them. Shin felt much more fear from the female nurse than he did tank top man and sighed at this situation.
Shin: "...Two attacks on my life and my mission hadn't even begun. I could do without this part of being a protagonist. You two, what the hell is going on?!"
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Shin demanded an explanation as soon as tank top man woke up after having his face slammed into the floor by him. He had all the Newbies move behind one of the large air ventilation systems installed on top of the roof and spoke to both tank top man and the nurse out in the open. Shin glared at the two as he remained in Unlocked Mode in case they tried anything else. He honestly didn't feel any real hostility from tank top man who was setting back in place his broken nose and the nurse who still remained cold as ice at the very least stopped at one attempt on his life, but he wasn't going to be careless here. The two were Newbies, but newbies who had already unlocked their Genetic Constraint and had some combat ability. Shin Hoped that they were not enemies, but even if they weren't he didn't have time for this. The Warriors of Hope's airship could still be seen above their head. Komaru Naegi was due to make an appearance any time, so he wanted this over and done with.
Shin: "So who are you two? I don't have time for bullshit, so make it quick and to the point. I better be satisfied... and if I'm not I don't care about losing 2000 points for disposing of dangerous elements here and now to get rid of you two."
Drake: "Sorry, sorry. Earlier I just wanted to see how strong you were and if you were worth following. Like you already guessed I knew about God's Dimension beforehand. I ended up here after clicking YES to God's message, so I know what I was getting into, but I didn't want to fight with or under a weak leader and so I needed to see how strong you were. Really... sorry for before, but man your strong! Haha, I was worried about how strong my teammates were going to be, but you completely dominated me!"
Shin: "It hasn't been decided that you'll become my comrade yet.. Um..?"
Drake: "The name is Drake. Although I might not look like it I'm a priest, but maybe exorcist is the better word. As an orphan growing up in northern Europe I was born with a kind of Faith Energy and can use it to strengthen my body and heal minor wounds, and was picked up by a church order. Then I spent the majority of my life training both my powers and body for a chance to enter God's Dimension."
Shin: "Then why did you join Team Japan. Why not European teams like Team England or Team Romania?"
Drake: "I... had my reasons for coming to Japan. To say the least I was kicked out of my order due to women troubles. When you meet a beautiful woman after spending the majority of your life with smelly men and ugly old women... temptation can just..."
Shin: "...I see. What about you nurse?"
Sachi: "My name is Sachi. Half-Chinese and half-Japanese. I'm what you would call a failed assassin now working as a nurse."
Shin: "Failed? You’re plenty dangerous. You’re too cold for my liking, but you’re the perfect example of the ideal beautiful woman who can get close to any man and kill them before anyone notices what happened."
Sachi: "I failed because of my... hobbies you could say. I come from the Chinese Assassins Clan. They have some connections to the Four Pillars, specifically Mass Enlightenment and Blood Crusade, but I was no one special. I had talent, but I don't hail from any special bloodline. Still, I was raised to become a skilled assassin... but I was exiled for my methods."
Shin: "Methods? Do assassins care for such things? Sorry, but my only experience with assassin is from that one game."
Sachi: "The Assassin Clan believes in one attack one kill. Even if in reality it isn't always possible that's their methodology. I at some point took an interest in needles and poison. Needles are okay, but poison is frowned upon since if it doesn't immediately kill ones target... haha, it prolongs suffering! Hmm, I didn't really care, but the clan did. I was exiled for my special interest. After I was kicked out I used my knowledge of the human body to become a nurse in a small doctors office. The man running the office was easily to control and I basically ran the place in secret. My specialties are eastern medicine and acupuncture. That's my background... and I have my own reasons for arriving in God's Dimension. I had no interest in you that warranted killing you, but like Drake I wanted to test you and you passed. Feel free to celebrate Team Japan leader."
Shin: "..."
Shin looked back and forth between Drake and Sachi with a more than slightly fed up look. To be honest if he was a smart leader he should have just killed them here and now so that he wouldn't have to deal with any potential backstabbing, yet unfortunately he was not. For some strange reason he believed the two, but even more so he wanted them as comrades. Shin's main reason we're that they were strong and first rate potential comrades like Connor when he first arrived in God's Dimension as he too had already unlocked his constraint. They are Newbies who should be protected and raised up as core members. Also, if he had competent comrades he could risk gaining the highest amount of rewards possible in this mission. Shin had to escort the main character through the dangerous Towa City and fend off attacks from his comrades. If Shin had good comrades to rely on to protect Komaru to the end of the mission then Team Japan could reach new heights... if they are telling the truth. In any case time will tell and he has no time to weed out potential threats.
Sachi: "...I think the mission is beginning. The person who we're waiting for is making her way down as we speak."
Shin: "!!!"
Shin looked up hearing this and Sachi was right. There was someone up above in the red skies and slowly descending down by parachute. For Shin and the others this person was too far away to accurately see who this person was parachuting down, but it was safe to assume that it was the main character and heroine of Dangan Ronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls, Komaru Naegi. Shin believing as such had Sachi and Drake follow him back where the other Newbies were hiding.
There wasn't that much time before Komaru touches down on the roof and the first battle against the Monokuma would begin, but first there was something that he had to do. The Newbies waiting anxiously for the upcoming event in their first mission were surprised to see a silver magic aura surrounding Shin's body and then a large sword appearing in his hands. This sword soon mysteriously shrunk down to the size of a small dagger and Shin releasing killing intent pointed this dagger at everyone.
Shin: "There's one last thing before we begin the mission. This is a magic dagger that can't harm anyone, but dispels all forms of brainwashing. I don't have time to get into why, but for those of you interested in living I Hope you allow me to stab you all in the heart with this magic tool. You won't die, but anyone who refuses for any reason exits the mission now... and by that I mean dies right now! No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Don't test me! This mission is so rewarding that I don't even have to blink at a -13,000 point penalty. Now chose to get stabbed or die."
Using the magic tool Holy Sword Switch on the Newbies wouldn't allow Shin to know for certain that there were no spies of the Four Pillars among them, but at the very least those like Saki would have their brainwashing erased. All the Newbies were frightened at being stabbed by a dagger even if it didn't kill them like Shin said, but after Drake and Sachi volunteered and saw that they weren't hurt after being stabbed in the heart or that anything strange happened to them they all agreed to be stabbed by Holy Sword Switch. Each Newbie passed the test and Shin let out a small sigh of relief even if it didn't prove much. Shin also had no attention of arming anyone yet since it would actually be better if everyone except Drake and Sachi wipe out unable to defend themselves. If needed he plans hand some weapons and told to Drake and Sachi, but not until they prove themselves first.
Shin: "Alright. You all pass. Komaru will touch down any second so listen up. Sachi, Drake and I will present ourselves as members of the Future Foundation, a renowned organization that's known by everyone as trying to help the world. In addition we'll also say that I'm a former Hope's Peak Academy Hopes student. The three of us have special abilities and so we can pass as such. The remaining eleven of you will just be civilians we picked up since you've yet to be enhanced enough or possess the skills to pretend to be either a former Ultimate of Hope's Peak Academy or an agent of the Future Foundation. Don't mention anything about our mission or get in Komaru's way, or I'll break your legs so that you'll die once you’re left behind!"
Bloodlust could be felt with those last words Shin said. The Newbies knew he wasn't kidding around and all made sure not to do anything to upset him. Drake and Sachi were unfazed by Shin's threat, but due to their backgrounds knew that Shin would kill them in spite of their talents if they got in his way, or did anything suspicious. They all just silently waited and hiding behind the ventilation systems waiting. Waiting for her to arrive and then at last... the heroine of this mission touched down on the roof top,

Just to say this now Sachi is not Shin's latest heroine. Also Drake is not the new tank top guy in Team China. I made him well before. Lastly, some concerns with the mission were answered in last chapter's comment section.
(This is EPIC!! Sachi makes her appearance and the team finally has a healer if Drake survives to the end of the mission…. Talk about wicked missions but this series takes the cake)
