Danganronpa: Despair Days Part II
spaceyqueeny for Seiji Shimada, SHSL Mountain Climber
If you’ve ever owned a copy of the Guinness Book of World Records (and have managed to memorize many of the random facts in it) then chances are you’ve heard the name Seiji Shimada. Scaling Mount Everest on his own at the measly age of eleven, he’s made national news several times. He hasn’t been satisfied with that, however, and scales the most famous mountains of the world, including (but not limited too) Mt. Kilimanjaro, The Matterhorn, Mt. Khuiten, and Mt. Washington. He makes sure to climb Mt. Everest annually, however, and in recent years has even recorded the expedition and sold the tape off too companies who have turned the experience into a documentary for viewers everywhere.
Perhaps what one of the most fascinating and daring aspects of his whole career is the fact that he does everything solo, refusing any attempts made to form an expedition party with him and instead opting to climb and hike on his own.
…I’m the Super High School Level Mountain Climber, if you have to know. My name’s Seiji Shimada. Nothing, uh, too special. Sorry to disappoint.
I-I guess I was backpedaling, ne? But I do have some sort of an excuse for that. After all, we’re all waking up in the middle of nowhere when we’re supposed to be starting a new school year, with no teachers in sight. We’re obviously gonna be at least a little bit out of it, all things considered.
I-I’m not gonna stop because I want to live. I’m alive right now, breathing. Ushio and Sadao-kun aren’t, sucks for them. I’m not gonna follow their example, though. I’m gonna survive. That’s what I’ve been doing for the past seventeen years, and what I intend to do for the next seventeen.
