### đ *Tensura: Multiversal Shenanigans*
**Arc 3 â Komi Can't Communicate**
**Chapter 26: Class Trip to the Spirit Realm! (feat. Public Transport Trauma)**
---
**\[Scene: Early Morning â Itan High School Gates]**
The sun hadn't even risen, yet students were already gathering in front of the school with overstuffed bags, awkward travel pillows, and expressions of existential dread.
**Tadano (yawning):** "Why does every school trip start at the ungodly hour of 5 A.M.?"
**Rimuru (in slime form, snuggled into Komi's scarf):** "So that our suffering is maximized."
**Komi (writing):**
> "The train is already cursed."
They all turned toward the rumbling, wheezing sound of an *ancient, magical-looking train* pulling into view. Its exterior was covered in floating sigils and angry bird stickers.
**Milim (excited):** "IT BREATHES FIRE! I LOVE IT!"
**Ramiris (backing away):** "I don't trust trains that have teeth."
---
**\[Scene: Onboard the Spirit Express â Destination: Spirit Realm]**
They boarded what could only be described as a *train designed by a drunken dimension-hopper*.
The aisles had gravity that changed direction every few meters. The drink cart was sentient. One bathroom led to a beach. The other to the void.
**Ciel:**
> "Warning: Probability of mild to severe nonsense: 97.3%."
**Tadano (clutching his seat):** "How are we supposed to survive this for 6 hours?"
**Rimuru (now shaped like a neck pillow):** "I'm built for comfort, not turbulence!"
---
**\[30 Minutes In â The Motion Sickness Massacre]**
**Komi** sat ramrod straight, face pale, eyes glazed. She had the universal look of someone currently ascending into the afterlife via nausea.
**Tadano (worried):** "Komi! Are you okay?!"
**Komi (shakily writing):**
> "I've transcended."
**Ramiris (hanging from the ceiling):** "I'm seeing sounds."
**Milim (laughing):** "This is GREAT! My chair just did a backflip!"
---
**\[Snack Cart Chaos]**
The sentient food cart arrived. It rolled up with flair, tooting a cheerful chime before presenting its menu⌠in riddles.
**Snack Cart:** "To taste the sweet, name what's fleet, faster than time but slower than meat."
**Rimuru:** "What?"
**Veldora (barging in):** "IT'S MEMORY! GIVE ME THE CANDY!"
**Snack Cart:** "Correct. You may have one 'Gummy of Forgotten Dreams.'"
**Milim (eating it):** "Mmm! Wait, what was I saying? Also, who am I?"
---
**\[Scene: Komi vs. The Vending Machine]**
Komi, valiantly rising from the depths of motion sickness, tried to buy water.
The vending machine responded by **offering a riddle**, a dance challenge, and then started playing disco music.
**Komi (glancing at it silently):**
**Vending Machine (panicking):** "...D-disregard. Free water. Please don't stare like that again."
**Rimuru (in awe):** "She intimidated a machine without saying a wordâŚ"
**Ciel:**
> "Confirmed: Komi-san has unlocked the 'Silent Intimidation' passive."
---
**\[Later â Train Enters the Spirit Realm]**
The scenery outside changed. Trees began floating. Rivers curved into the sky. Fish swam through clouds made of music.
**Ramiris (pressing her face to the glass):** "I SEE MY HOUSE!"
**Milim (poking a spirit bird):** "Can I keep one? Name it Poofles?"
**Spirit Bird:** "Absolutely not."
**Rimuru (wobbling):** "Okay. We're officially in weird territory. That's saying something, coming from me."
---
**\[Announcement Over Intercom]**
**Conductor (ominous tone):** "Ladies, gentlemen, and gelatinous entities, we will be arriving at Spirit Nexus Station shortly. Please prepare your hearts and luggage."
**Tadano:** "Did they say *hearts*?"
**Veldora (donning sunglasses):** "The Spirit Realm is a metaphysical entity that reacts to emotion. Think of it like... mood-based reality TV."
**Komi (writing):**
> "We're going to die, aren't we?"
---
**\[Final Scene â Arrival at Spirit Nexus Station]**
The train screeched to a halt. In front of them stood an ethereal palace made of stardust and moonlight, guarded by a 9-foot-tall spirit goat named *Greg*.
**Greg (deep voice):** "Welcome to the Spirit Realm. Please do not feed the existential dilemmas."
**Milim (already feeding one):** "It's so cute when it questions its purpose!"
**Ciel:**
> "Begin Spirit Realm Arc. Unpredictable metaphysical phenomena ahead."
**Rimuru:** "What could possibly go wrong?"
