The teams huddled close to each other as they listened to monokuma talk. "Each game will be made to weed out the ones who aren't worth being here . Oh and if you think you can cheat think again jack." The bear tisked. "We keep going till the winners remain."
"Hope your hungry..Because the first game is a real treat. I need all the gluttonies for this one." Junko informed as a girl with green short hair came pushing out a big kart full of desserts. "Step forward"
Ryota,Aoi,hifumi,Teruteru,Hiyoko, and Akane stepped toward the food confused. "What are we going to have an eating contest?" Akane asked. "Because i can out eat anyone" she bragged.
"i...m not sure i could eat all that" Ryota frowned worriedly glancing at his leader Byakuya. Who nodded at him encouragingly. "You don't know what it is going to be. Don't let it get to you" Makoto tried to encourage him.
"Actually no. You simply just got to pick one and eat it." the girl Monaca said with a smirk. "But be care...ful" she sing songed. "it might be bad for you."
"Bad..how?" Teruteru frowned. "I would hate to think someone messed with some perfectly good dishes" he frowned as Ryota looked back at his team worriedly.
"Just..pick what looks the best to you." Nagito added wishing him good luck. Ryota frowned nervously picking a small cupcake shaped like a cat and held it as the others each took a way bigger piece.
"Well go on eat it" Monaca encouraged they looked at each other before eating it.
"Well...thats an easy test i guess" Hifumi said as he finished the biggest piece of them all.
"What was the point in that?" Akane asked unamused. "Not that i mind the free food"
"Glutony had a particular food he liked and could sense when food was bad " Kotoko frowned as she barely looked up from where she was playing go fish with the other kids. "He never got food poisoning"
"I could of made something better im sure" Teruteru hmmed. "No one would get food poisoning from my food"
"Really..i feel fine" akane said confused as Monaca watched closely confused. "Whats next?"
"So..no one got sick?" Monaca asked disappointed before seeing Hifumi double over in pain.
"I don't feel so good.." Hifumi groaned holding his big stomach before doubling over and puking up blood causing his team to rush over in panic to try to help him. "Do something!" Ishimaru panicked as Nekomaru their greed tried to comfort the man.
Ryota picked up the small bit that was left of Hifumi's cupcake with a frown and examined it before picking up on a distinct oder. "There is..arsenic in this" He murmured as the team watched in horror as Hifumi dropped dead. Ishimaru screamed in paniced freaking out. "Poisning people is not acceptable!"
"You are all lucky you were all fine from this" Nagito frowned as he made sure his team mate Ryota was fine as he teared up a little. Rantaro scowled watching the scene before leading Ryota away back to the others noticing his hands shaking in shock. "There was arsenic.." he repeated wide eyed. "I could of ate that and died.."
"But you didn't' rantaro reminded holding him close. "Your alive"
"yea..for now" Monaca huffed getting a glare from the other kids.
The groups couldn't believe that there was already a death and they started to get reluctant to participate further as Nekomaru covered his team mates dead body. "What do we do now?" He asked his leader. "We are already down one.."
"Well they did say teams could change" Korekiyo sighed blandly behind his face mask. "Still this is troublesome..I really thought we had a real glutton who could help us win..who knew a cupcake would do him in..Ironic really"
"This is no time to be speaking so carelessly over our comrade" Kiyotaka barked. "We will avenge Hifumi we just have to do our best and move forward" He said bravely as Mondo sighed scratching the back of his head. "Easier said then done bro..we don't even know what the next challenge is going to be..or who it will target." he pointed out.
"Where are those troublesome kids anyway?" Ryoma asked looking around noticing all that was left at the moment was the bear who looked annoyed.
"They..didn't seem happy that there was only one dead" kyoko observed. "I guess you got lucky Teruteru " she commented to her gluttony who was pale but other wise fine. He tisked at that. "I just know better when it comes to food..I am a chef after all. I could tell some of the food looked off."
"Were..you able to tell at all Ryota?" Rantaro asked curiously as he sat next to him on a table. Ryota frowned in thought as he leaned back. "Kind of..it was more like..i could tell one was the best just by looking at it..and the others..weren't worth it." he tried to explain. "Still its..weird i was picked as gluttony..while i like food..i never considered myself to be that big into food.."
" ..isn't just with food..It's the obession and desire to consume..alot of something.." Rantaro informed thoughtfully.
"Huh..i guess i can be like that with anime..i was actually watching anime when i was taken and forced into the game" he recalled almost laughing at the thought. "Still.. i was pretty lucky eating what i did.."
"Well..luck is deffintly part of it' Nagito frowned from nearby where he had Fuyuhiko picking the lock on his chain before finally freeing him. "thanks You are the best" he smiled to the boy who looked away with a small blush as he awkwardly moved away from the boy as he tried to hug him. "It's fine..im just helping you since we are on the same team is all. Don't get the wrong idea." he coughed before handing the chain to his guard Peko. "Even though i still disagree with the boss picking you as our greed. We should of had that other guy Kokichi i had a better feeling of him and He was going to pick him too..but i guess you could still end up being fine."
"He will. I promised he would" Hinata scowled pulling Nagito close. "You will see."
"Say what you will but i have always been better at judging people..i wouldn't be a leader of a mob otherwise" He huffed.
"Well there is no take backs. As annoying as the pipsqueak is..he is on our team" Yashuhiro warned from his side of the room. "Oh i feel so wanted" Kokichi purred amused "It looks like i have so many friends yay me" He cheered. "looks like you have rivals Shu...ich...i" he teased. "This is serious Ko...don't joke around" The other boy protested as Sonia their pride sighed trying to gather some patience. "Now now..lets leave the other teams alone.." she sighed before turning back to her glutton. "Are you okay?" she asked looking her over again. "it's fine. I don't get sick easy" Akane dismissed unbothered. "It would take more then some arsenic to kill me."
meanwhile in another room an annoyed Junko was kicking a wall annoyed. "Only one down..What kind of crap is that Mukuro?" she demanded. "There is only one gluttony...and there is no way any of those idiots are one of the virtues that was killed." She hissed. "So..how are the rest alive?"
"It could be Luck...he may have interfered somehow" her twin said tentatively. "He does have that effect.."
"Don't mention luck to me..you know how much i hate that guy..WHy did we have to have him here anyway.." Junko scowled.
"The rules were..all possible candidates had to be here" Monaca informed her mother and master "Don't worry..we will just make it harder for that to happen again" She informed Junko surely.
"Just Keep an eye on him..Make sure he doesn't interact with the other teams" Junko scowled. "He is going to ruin this even more then Prudence will.."
"How bothersome could Luck be? the loser is sick..Surely it will catch up with him sooner or later" Monaca scowled.
"Don't count on it..The guy is the personification of Luck..even in this life" Mukuro frowned not looking up from her ipad where she was taking notes. "there is a reason we had to hunt him down before..so we could even be able to find other candidates. ..as for prudence..it doesn't do any good worrying about him..we don't even know yet..who he is.."
"What if..he does remember everything ..remember what he and wrath said...that they would ruin us" Junko scowled pulling on her pigtails . "That would be so lame..I don't want to deal with that."
"Don't worry..I will keep on eye out for him..i bet i could spot him out.." The green haired girl said trying to make Junko proud and take notice..but Junko didn't even seem impressed in the least. "What could you do? You are Deceit..not something more powerful..or smarter.." she pushed the girl away from her annoyed. The girl didn't seem to be too bothered though and merely smiled up at her unaffected as she picked herself up and dusted herself off. "Don't worry about it..I will show you for sure" The girl smirked.
the four other kids scowled watching them silently before glancing at each other and Nagisa left the room first before the other 3 followed. "This is getting to be serious..they really are going to up the games.." Nagisa frowned . "Not to mention..Luck is clearly going to be targeted..we need to keep him safe..or it could effect the rest of the group..and the rest of our parents' He rubbed the bridge of his nose annoyed as Jataro followed upset.
"Don't worry..Taro..we will do what we can.." Masura tried to assure his friend. "You can trust me as the spirt of Victory..i will make sure we win"
"can...you really promise that...what about our other friend...that died..back then..Prudence's kid...you said he would be okay too" Jataro stuttered. "Poor Yuta.." he frowned.
"That was...one time..i cant be right everytime..but..this time i mean..it.." Masura frowned. "Besides..even..if i can't..my pops is Justice and he will make sure that Yuta is avenged..and so is everyone else..He..just needs to remember.." he clutched his fists.
