Abstract

The Witch School's seaside school trip involves diving to Ryugu-jo Palace. Carrying a kappa plate on their heads, they go to deliver Princess Otohime's favorite cucumbers. They overcome difficult obstacles along the way, such as the kelp forest, the sea slug smoke screen, the sea urchin cave, and the sea anemone forest, using their special skills, such as Inumaru Pochibukuro's "Dog Shield," Uzumaki's "Narutomaki," the Spider's Castle's "Crazy Cat's Cradle Magic," Sumizome Sakurako's "Sakura Snowstorm," and Currynosuke's "Hot Pepper." This is the sequel to the previous work, "The Magic School's Race."
