❁  Okinawa  Beach  Event  ❁

Summer is starting to settle across Japan, bathing the country in bright, burning sunshine that make ice cream and dipping in cold water sound like a dream to behold ー and it is none different for the students of Hope’s Peak Academy! Get your heart pumping, then now it is time for the Ultimate heart-throbbing school trip to strengthen everyone’s bonds and nourish hope!

During the Okinawa Beach Event, all students of HPA will be going on a school trip to the Ritz Carlton resort in Okinawa, Japan. Goal of this trip is for everyone to grow closer and thus, help each other in strengthening their bonds and skills, as well as deepen their knowledge on different aspects of marine biology and history.

From the 14th to 16th century, Okinawa was known as the Ryukyu Kingdom and ruins of old may still be found scattered across the landscape. One of the nine local World Heritage Sites is close by within Yanbaru forest: Sefa-Utaki, where a triangle-shaped tunnel made from stone leads to a sacred altar and other fascinating ruins.

At Kise Beach, students may participate in various activities to catch and identify sea creatures, go scuba diving or simply spend their time at the beach as much as their heart may desire. Yanbaru forest offers the perfect environment to go trekking or kayaking, though you also do not want to miss out on the luxury spa set located there. With three different restaurants and afternoon tea to be enjoyed in the lobby lounge, the students will surely always stay refreshed and entertained within the hotel. 

So have a nice trip, everyone! Let this heart-throbbing school trip begin!

ヤルヤルテナガコガネ 　やると主張したことをやらないヤンバルテナガコガネ。よく知られているのは、セイジカの群れに混ざっている個体であるが、それ以外の場所にも数多く生息している。行動だけを見ると、心の中に大きなアシタカラガンバルクイナを宿しているかのように思えるが、実際はそうではない。怠惰なのではなく、最初からやりもしないことをやると主張していただけなのである。 　生態系ピラミッドの上層部に位置するいきもの��は、多くの場面で生存競争を行うが、その際に他のいきもの達の忠誠を必要とする。例えばセイジカならば、キヨキイッピョウを受け取るという形で他のいきもの達からの信頼を集め、自分が所属するコロニーを強くしなければならない。同じコロニーや生態系に所属するいきものから、支持してもらわなければならないのである。そのための手段として、これから自分が何を行うか、どれだけ周囲に貢献できるのかをディスプレイ行為によって示すのだが、中には競争に勝った後で、主張の内容と全く違う行動を取るものもいる。それが、ヤルヤルテナガコガネである。 　このいきものは、決して約束を果たさない。全ての主張は、他のいきもの達からキヨキイッピョウを集めるためだけの、抜け殻のようなものなのである。皆が暮らす土地の環境は改善されず、様々な問題は投げっ放しで、他の地域への攻撃も行われない。努力はしていると主張するだけで、実行に移る気配はまるでないのである。 　しかしそもそも、ヤルヤルテナガコガネにはこれらを実現できるだけの力がない。だからこそ周囲の協力を求めるし、必要以上に自分を大きく見せようとしている。つまり、このいきものは、やれることをやると主張しているのではなく、やりたいけどできないという事実を、いつかはやれるかもしれないという希望的観測にすり替えているだけなのである。このいきものが欺いているのは自分の実力であって、未来への展望ではない。約束をやぶったのではなく、そもそも約束ができないのである。 　未来のことは誰にも分からない。予測はできても確定はできず、予定はいつまでも未定である。ただし、ヤルヤルテナガコガネには何一つ成し遂げることができないという未来だけは確定的である。やれるのならば、既にやっている。

Carryoutonus Cajolebar 　Carryoutonus Cajolebar is yanbaru long-armed scarab beetles that do not perform what they claimed to perform. What is well known is an individual that is joining in a herd of deer, but they live in many other places, too. Looking only at their actions, they seem to have big Starting Tomorrails in their hearts, but they are not actually. They were not lazy, but they only insisted that they would do what they would not intend to do from the beginning. 　The CREATURES located in the upper part of the ecological pyramid do compete for survival in many situations, but in doing so they need the loyalty of other CREATURES. For example, in case of Politideers, they must gather trust from other CREATURES by the way of receiving Honest Leoballots, and strengthen the colony to which they belong. They must be supported from CREATURES belonging to the same colony or ecosystem. As a means for that, they show what they are going to do in future and how much they can contribute to the surroundings by means of display behaviors, but after winning the competition, some take actions that are completely different from the content of the assertion. That is Carryoutonus Cajolebar. 　This CREATURE never fulfills promises. All their assertions are like cast‐off shells only to gather Honest Leoballots from other CREATURES. The environment of land where everyone lives is not improved, various problems are thrown away, and attacks on other areas are not done. They argue that they are making efforts, but they show no sign to move to execution. 　However in the first place, Carryoutonus Cajolebars do not have the power to realize these. For this reason, they seek cooperation of surroundings, and are trying to make themselves to see larger than necessary. In other words, this CREATURE does not insist that will do things that they can do, but they switch the fact that they want to do but that they can not do, into the wishful observation that they may be able to do it someday. This CREATURE deceive not the prospects for the future, but their real ability. They did not break promises. Because, they can not make promises from the first. 　Nobody knows about the future. Even though it can make predictions, it can not define it, and the plan will be unsettled forever. However, only the future that Carryoutonus Cajolebars can not accomplish anything is definite. If they can do it, they should have already done it.
