Chapter 1:

Being Selfless Isn't The Key? (Ab)normal Life

Part: 1

It's been more than ten minutes and we still haven't moved or said anything. This whole thing was really hard to process. Mr. Monokuma, a talking stuffed bear, told us to kill each other if we want to leave this island. It sounds really ridiculous, but for some reason, when he said it, I could feel despair building up inside me.

I decided to break the silence, it doesn't seem like anyone is going to say anything. "Hey um, we don't have to listen to that bear, we can just ignore him. Lets focus on trying to find a way out of the islands."

"Yeah, I agree. We can't let that thing manipulate us. There has to be a way out." Chizuru Ikeda-senpai replied. "We outnumber him, we should be fine as long as we stick together."

Hanako-chan stepped forward with her E-Handbook in her hand. "There are some rules on the E-Handbook. I recommend we read them to avoid getting any trouble with Monokuma."

We all nodded and took out our E-Handbook. When I turned it on the first thing to appear was my full name, 'Akari Akaza' on the screen. A few seconds later the main menu appeared. The menu had map, report card, regulations and evidence as options to choose from. It also had the current time, if this E-Handbook is correct, then the time right now is 10:34 A.M.. I pressed on the regulations option since it was the section we agreed to look at first.

'School Rule # 1: The students, the teachers and the Mayor, are to live their lives together exclusively on the islands. Forever.'

'School Rule # 2: From 10:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M. it will be treated as "Nighttime." Some areas will be off-limits during this period of time. Please exercise with caution during nighttime.'

'School Rule # 3: Sleeping outside a dormitary will be consider as sleeping in class. Anyone breaking this rule will be punished acccordingly.'

'School Rule # 4: Violence against Mayor Monokuma is strictly prohibited. Destroying Mayor Monokuma's surveilliance cameras and monitors is also prohibited.'

'School Rule # 5: The culprit who kills one of her companions will be allowed to leave the island, provided her crime is not betrayed.'

'School Rule # 6: The Body Discovery Announcement will display on the monitors as soon as three or more people discover a body for the first time.'

'School Rule# 7: After the Body Discovery Announcement, a Class Trial will begin shortly after. It is mandatory to attend to the Class Trial.'

'School Rule # 8: You are free to investigate the island at your own discretion with minimal restrictions.

'School Rule # 9: Mayor Monokuma will not phisically interact with the students and/or teachers unless they break the rules.'

'School Rule # 10: Additional rules may be added as needed.'

"That is a lot of rules, Monokuma is no fun." Kyoko-chan stated. "And here I wanted to have fun."

"How can you have fun in this situation, Kyoko-senpai." I can't say that I'm suprise for Kyoko-chan to act this way. Still, in a situation like this, even she must feel uneasy. She most probably wants to lift up our spirits.

"Well, since we are obviously not going to kill anyone, we are gonna be here for a while. I wanted to have as much as fun as I could. We should look at this as vacations."

Nishigaki-sensei nodded. "I agree with Toshino-san, we should just relax and follow the rules, it doesn't seem that Monokuma will do anything to us."

"How can you be so sure, sensei. I can't stand here and let that bear hurt my sister." Sensei turned towards my sister. "It's true than we can't trust that bear, but his rules state that he wont interfere with us unless we break the rules. If he really wanted to kill us, he wouldn't have put such rules."

I don't really trust Mr. Monokuma, but if sensei is right, wich I hope she is, then I guess we can relax a bit. Will he just let us relax though? If he wants us to kill eachother, I don't really think he will just let us live like this.

"I suppose you are right. Then should we explore the new island that Monokuma said he open?" We all agreed to explore the new island together.

The main island was in the middle, up north it was island number one. Going counter clock-wise the islands continue with island number two all the way to number six. They all had the same distance if you went to the island adjecent from one another, wich is around twelve minutes of distance. The wood bridge towards island number one only took us five minutes to cross it, all this walking sure makes me tired.

Island number one was not that big compared to the main island. The first building to the left was really small. If anything it looks like a small house. Walking inside we discovered that it was a beach house. It had a room with equipment to use on the ocean, a room for showers, another room for the bathroom, and the main room was kind of like a living room, it had couches and a small fridge. The only difference from the living room was Mr. Monokuma's monitor. I was hoping we could have a normal tv.

"Onee-chan, we can use this to have fun whenever we are feeling down."

"You are right, Chizuru." Chitose-senpai smiled like always. "We should use tomorrow so we can relax all day. What do you say?" She asked facing towards the rest of us.

Nadeshiko-san smiled ever so slightly. "I think that's a great idea, but first, we should focus on exploring this island, we can talk about throwing a party after with more details."

Kyoko-chan and Sakurako-chan yelled with excitement. Shouting stuff about hamburgers, hotdogs, and volley ball. Even I was getting excited.

We continue the our investigation to the next building. The weird thing about this building is that it was a motel. Why would there be a motel if we already had a hotel? There wasn't anything out of the ordinary inside the motel either. Well, besides the cameras and monitors that is, so we went to the next and last building.

Moving on to the next building was a mistake.

The building was horrible inside. From left to right there were weapons. Sharp blades, military knifes, grenades, almost anything that you could think of was inside. Was Mr. Monokuma not joking then? Did he really wanted us to kill each other?

"You girls seem to find my weapon facility." He appeared from behind us. "Feel free to use them as you like, you can use anything that's inside here." Onee-chan confronted him again. "So you think that just because you gave us weapon, we are going to kill each other."

"Upupupu. I'm not saying you should use them to kill each other. I'm just giving you a chance to use different methods. Maybe one of you will get creative and make the perfect crime."

"Why you-"

"Onee-chan, stop!" I hugged her from behind. "Don't fight him. The rules says that you will receive some kind of punishment. We don't need to know what he means by that." Onee-chan let out a big sigh. "You are right Akari, I'm sorry. Onee-chan lost her temper a bit."

"Phew, I thought I was a goner for a second there. You are lucky your sister stopped you or else I would've beaten you really easy with my final form. And I can't show my final form this early in the game, can I?" He started laughing and dancing, mocking us that we couldn't hurt him. "I'm very excited to see who is going to kill first." He walked away, still dancing, around the building, dissapearing once again.

"Lets head back to the main island. We haven't eaten all day." Nishigaki-sensei rubbed her stomach. To be honest, with all that has happen, I'm not hungry at all. I doubt the other are hungry either.

"Yes, let's go, I'm starving."

"Same here Toshino-senpai."

I guess I was wrong.


Location: Monokuma's Fine Food Restaurant

Time: 12:00 P.M.

After going to the store and getting some ingredients to make food, we headed to the diner to make some curry. While the adults were preparing the food, the rest of us stayed at the tables discussing about when to make a beach party.

"We should make a big party with stuff someone normally does in beach partys, like breaking watermelons, making curry, playing volleyball and having rap battles."

"The last one is not normal, Toshino Kyoko."

Of course Kyoko-chan was the most excited of us, I know she just wants us to forget about all this nonsense, but it's really hard. We can't just forget about what happen, Mr. Monokuma has us kidnap here, and our only way to escape is to k-k-k-kill eachother. I can't take it. I just want to go home.

"It's going to be alright, Akari. After all, you are the anti-bully ranger, aren't you?" I could feel my face getting hot rapidly. "Kyoko-chan, stop making fun of me!" "Ha ha ha, sorry, Akari. Everything is going to be alright, we all know eachother, we will help each other. If you need a shoulder to cry, you can ask anyone."

"Kyoko-chan...Thank you." Kyoko-chan gave me her big smile. She is right. We are going to be fine, it was stupid of me to worry about it. Eventually we will escape this island, but before that, we should enjoy our time together.


Location: Outside The Restaurant

Time: 12:45 P.M.

FREE TIME

Everyone seems to be more relax now. After eating, everyone left to do something on their own. With the exception of Yui-chan and Chinatsu-chan, who went together to the beach house, and the adults, who said they wanted to discuss in agreed to meet back here at 5:30 P.M. to have a small dinner.

I sat down the stairs that lead to the diner and took out my E-Handbook to see what other information it had. Tapping on report cards brough up a screen that had a picture icon of our face in what seem like a 16-bit game. I tap on my icon to see what info it shows. It had a full picture of me with my three measurements, my blood type, date of birth, likes, dislikes and my talent. How does Mr. Monokuma knows that? Did he stalked us before he kidnapped us? I tapped on the other icons to see if they had info on them also. It did. Except for the talent of my sister. Figures.

Wait. He has info on all fifteen of us. He even knew some small details of us. This is serious. What does he want from us? Why does he wants us to kill each other? I...I want...No. Kyoko-chan said to not to worry about it. I need to relax. Breathe in and out slowly.

"Akaza-san?" Looking up from the E-Handbook screen I saw Chitose Ikeda-senpai standing in front of me. "Senpai, what are you doing here?"

"I saw you and it looked as if you were about to cry, mind if I sit next to you?"

"Not at all, go ahead."

She sat next to me on my right side. "So, are you alright, Akaza-san?" She gave me a serious look, this is the first time I ever see senpai like this. She must be really worry about me. I feel bad now, I shouldn't let her worry for nothing. "I'm alright senpai, thank you for asking. It's just that all that has happen stressed me a bit, that's all."

"I get what you mean." She put her hand on my shoulder. "To be honest, this has stressed me a bit too. I was thinking of a way out and ask for help outside this island. But what Toshino-san made me realize something. That we can live in peace here untill we get help from the outside. I'm confident that we will leave this island together." Smiling, she hugged me. It felt nice, almost motherly. "If you are still worry and you need to cry, you can use my shoulder anytime if that is fine by you." So I did. I cry with all my might on senpai's shoulder. Not worrying about staining her unifrom with my tears.

She started rubbing my back and hum. I don't think it was any song in particular, but the tune was doing it's job in relaxing me.

"Feeling better?" She asked me ten minutes after. "Yeah, I'm feeling better now, thank you, senpai."

"Any time, Akaza-san."

"Say senpai, how can you be so relax in this situation?"

"Well, I'm not really relax. If anything, I've been scared the whole time. I just act relax because that is how I deal with it." She stop hugging me and gave me a serious look. "I get scare easily too. It's been like that ever since I was a kid. My sister, Chizuru, was the same though. She gets more scare than I do. I had to act as a big sister, even though we are twins, and pretend that I wasn't scare the moments she was."

She started trembling and her eyes were almost crying, "This whole thing, it's almost making me go crazy. I can feel myself lose my sanity each second." She took a deep breath and smile. "But everytime I see Chizuru, I begin to calm almost immediately. I feel the need to protect her. Toshino-san's speeches helped me too. She is right after all, there is no way we would kill eachother just to leave the island. If I look at this as a vacation like Toshino-san said, then I can relax."

"Senpai..."

I hugged her just as she hugged me, and she cried. She didn't made any noise. She didn't tremble. She just cried silently, her face buried on my shoulder. She cried for two minutes and then separate from me. "Thank you, Akaza-san"

"Please, call me Akari."

"Thank you, Akari-san. You can call me Chitose then."

"Ok, Chitose-senpai."

We talk the next few hours. We talk about our childhood memories, our favorite food, etc. It was the first time that I actually felt that we could relax in the island, without having to worry about Mr. Monokuma and his rule. Senpai had really interesting stories to talk about.

We kept talking until it was 5:00 P.M., that's the time we agreed to meet at the restaurant. Chitose-senpai went to look for her sister, so I went inside the the restaurant by myself. Since obviously I was the first one to arrive, I used my E-Handbook while I waited for everyone else. Huh? On the Report Card option, it said I had new info. I tap on it to see what new info it had.

The new info was on Chitose-senpai. It was a brief summary of what we talked a while ago. This E-Handbook is amazing, it updated as fast as I finished talking with her. "Does that mean Mr. Monokuma listens to us all the time?"

"That is right, Akari-san."

"AAAAAHHHH!"

Mr. Monokuma appeared out of nowhere behind me. "Mr. Monokuma, you almost gave me a heart attack."

"Don't die yet." He said with a serious tone. As much as a serious voice he could make with that voice. "If you die now, it would defeat the purpose of the killing game. Besides, I don't want to be the culprit. I'm a bad liar, I would be found guilty as fast as the trial begins."

"What are you doing here?"

"I came here to answer your question, Akari-san. Every time you learned something from someone that you didn't know about, your Report Card on them will update." That was a nice detail and all, but something tells me that is not the only reason why he would put that kind of thing on the E-Handbook. "Why would it do such thing?"

"So you don't forget about it. It would be ackward if someone wanted to continue the conversation from before but you forgot about it."

"Is that really the only reason?"

His face turned red in anger, insulted of what I asked. "Of course it is. What kind of bear do you take me for?"

"In that case, thank you, Mr. Monokuma." Though my voice didn't show any signs that I was thankful.

"Anything to help you guys in the game." And with that, he left the restaurant.

I knew it had to do something with the game. Mr. Monokuma wouldn't be so nice like that.

After a few minutes everyone arrived and we started making dinner. We didn't talk that much. We just talk a bit, eat and left to do our own things again.I decided to go to the hotel. I'm done for today. After taking the elevator, I noticed the room doors had a picture of us on the room doors. One picture per room. It had our face on it, in a 16-bit game again, with our names below the picture. Mr. Monokuma gave us a different room for each one probably so we could feel safe in them.

I enter the room that had my picture and name plate on it. The room was exactly as I left it from when I woke up. Except for a note on the bathroom door.

'Notice: The shower will not work during nighttime. Please take a shower before nightime if you like taking a shower before sleeping.'

This wont be a problem for me. I'm normally asleep after 9:00 P.M.. I took a shower and decided to call it a day. Tomorrow will be another day. Another day that we have to find a way out of here. If not, we should have fun just like Kyoko-chan said. Lying on the bed, I started to think back on all that has happen. A monochrome bear kidnap us and said that we are living here for the rest of our life, unless we kill one of our friends. I can't think of anyone capable of doing this. Do we know the person behind this? Does someone has a grudge towards us? Or is this their way to have fun? There is so many questions that I have and it's making it hard to sleep.

Just when I was finally getting some sleep, the monitor on the room turned on. "This is an announcement. It is currently 10:00 P.M.. As of right now, nighttime has started. The Monokuma's Fine Food Restaurant and the beach house are off limits as soon as no one is inside any of them. Well then, I wish you good night and nice dreams."

Not like I wanted to go to any of those places at night. I guess I was too deep in my thoughts that I didn't notice it was past 10:00 P.M.. I haven't been up past nine in a long time. I should go to sleep. I will try my best tomorrow to get out of this island. With that thought in mind, I drift to sleep.
