Hey there guy! Here is my new story "The country Hunt" based on tweet Kodaka-sensei made a month ago about an idea which wouldn't be used on New Danganronpa V3. But I liked the concept so I decided to work on it. The story is bit short (barely exceed 800 words) but it will get better soon, I promise you.
And as always I don't own anything, this time nor even the original idea. That's sad.
"... And as every year, the most thrilling event of all the times, "The Country Hunt", is about to begin."
"Indeed, this year the participation expectancy is higher than ever, thanks to the prize that has been duplicated..."
The special broadcast was on TV while Naegi Makoto watched it uninterested. To tell truth, that event couldn't care less to him. He was on his winter vacations from Hope's Peak, and lot of things happened to him in the last half year: he met a lot of extravagant people who were his classmates, he was able to get along with all of them and experienced some pretty incredible and bit traumatic misadventures, but everything was funny though. And now he was wearing his pajamas, ready to go to the bed, but since it wasn't even 8 pm and there wasn't nothing more interesting to watch, he stared the screen without paying much attention, until a feminine figure approached.
"What are you watching, onii-chan?" his sister, Komaru asked him
"Nothing, just the event broadcast."
"Ugh, I hate it. Isn't there anything else to see?"
"Not really, just the same boring stuff as always."
"Damn." she sit down beside him and stared at the TV "You have no idea of how much I dislike all of this."
"Me too, but there's nothing we can do. There is a lot of people who enjoy watching it and participating into."
"It's the worst."
The Country Hunt, also known as "the event", is a fancy name for a human slaughtering. This was a law which was decreed about 12 years ago and goes pretty much like this: The day previous New Year, every person in the country gets a number and a random person is drawn by lottery. Then that person becomes a national target and everyone in the country has the chance to chase it and kill it. If that person manages to survive for 24 hours, he'll receive 20 billion of dollars, but if he's killed, a reward of 500,000 dollars will be granted to whoever killed him or helped into the killing. Of course, no one in the 12 years this has been doing has ever survived.
Some people thinks this is just a way for the government to get rid of troublesome people, others think that is a method of releasing the wrath of the masses, and others think that is a new way of entertainment, but everyone is agree with something: the person who devised this is totally nuts.
"By the way, at what time will our parents going to get back home? They're going to get trapped in all the city ruckus."
"They're staying at Grandma's this weekend. Did you forget it, nii-chan?"
"Oh right, sorry."
*Ding dong*
"Door's ringing. Your turn, nii-chan."
"Haa~! Why don't you go!?"
*Ding dong*
"Because I've already accommodate myself."
"But I was here before!"
*Ding dong*
"Just go!" Komaru said kicking him out of the sofa.
"Aahh! Dammit, you're gonna pay for this, you hear me."
"Yeah, Yeah."
*Ding dong*
"Coming, coming! *muttering to himself* Better be something important"
"O-oi, nii-chan? Isn't it our house the one which is on the TV?"
"Huh?"
He was about to open the door until suddenly it exploded in a cloud of wood and dust.
After that, six black suited men came in the house followed by a good looking man in what looked like an expensive dark blue suit. The Naegi siblings couldn't help but shake in fear and stare at him in bewilderment. "Oh were you about to open us? Sorry, my bad."
The man in the expensive suit talked with a smile in his face.
"Anyway, since you took so long, we had to make our way inside. You know what they say, time is money. And believe me, this time will be truly worth of money."
After a few seconds, Makoto get out of his previous shock and asked.
"W-wh-what? W-who are you? And what are you doing in our house?"
"Hmm... Oh right, where are my modals, I'm the director and principal executive of the Country Hunt, you may call me Kamiya"
Country Hunt? Oh, no! No way! Please don't...!
"Maybe this is a bit too late for ask this but you are Naegi Makoto, aren't you? Well then, I have to congratulate you. You have been chosen in the National Lottery as the participant of this year. So Congratulations!"
If Naegi believed that the day before entering Hope's Peak was his worst, he would understand that compared with the one he was about to experience that one would be a walk in the park.
And that's the beginning of Naegi's misadventure of this time. Really, the poor bastard never had it easy. Anyway, tell me your opinions or complains in the reviews.
And have a good day (or night depending of in which country you are).
