"Minna! There's a parcel addressed to Inazuma Japan!" Haruna yelled as she entered the clubroom carrying a box covered in brown packaging paper. She placed the parcel on the table and everyone stared at it.
"What is it?" Kidou wondered.
"Is it a b-b-bomb?" Kabeyama suggested.
Endou facepalmed and said, "Don't be silly, Kabeyama! There's only one way to find out what's in it." With that, he opened the parcel.
"Board of Secrets?" he said reading the words on the board that was in the box," What's that?" He removed the contents of the box-along with the board was, Counters to represent each player, a die, an electronic device and a booklet that read 'How to play Board of Secrets.'
Endou read the first part of the booklet aloud
"Congratulations! You have just received the Board of Secrets. The rules of the game are simple. Roll the dice and move your counters along the squares according to the number you have rolled. A name should appear on the electronic device once you place your counter onto the square. You are to discover one of that person's secrets within a week. Write that secret down and, at the end of the week, pin the secret up onto the notice board in the Inazuma Japan lodgings. The others are to guess whose secret it is. Don't let anyone see you pin up the secret and don't write your name or the other person's name onto the paper. Failure to comply with the rules will result in disaster."
Fudou was the first to react. "That's bullshit. I'll prove it." He walked out of the room. 5 minutes later, he came running back, his clothes torn.
"Fudou! What happened?" Kidou asked.
"A tree nearly fell on me!" Fudou panted.
"G-Guys, look at this…" Everyone looked at Kabeyama who was pointing at the bottom of the booklet. At the bottom were the words "I told you so!"
Everyone gulped. They had no choice but to play this twisted game.
Endou rolled first. His counter was a mini soccer ball. He looked at the device and gulped nervously. Slowly, one by one, all of them rolled the dice and received a name. It was obvious which counter belonged to who-Fubuki had a snowflake, Gouenji's was a flame, Haruna's was a notepad and pen, etc.
Once they were all done more words appeared in the booklet, "Well? Let's play."
My first attempt at mystery. Please review and tell me what you think! Thanks to SkylarkOfTheMoon for beta-reading!
