Hello everyone! For this fanfic, I just like to say that I try to remain impartial or unbiased as much as possible. So, if you have one of your favourite characters die, that is the conclusion I have reached after my thoughts on the interactions with other characters. Obviously, our main protagonist here is Kokichi. Still, I want to announce that it is possible for our protagonist and/or main characters to die. At the same time, some lesser known characters may progress and go very far in this game. I'm not exactly saying it will or won't happen, but I want to tell you guys to not rule anything out.

Wow, I like to thank everyone for the amount of support for this story! Especially the guys who review and follow this story, since you guys help inspire me so much to write and continue this story, so I hope you guys enjoy the fourth chapter!


Chapter 4- The First Case

"Hmm, what happened here?" Kokichi asked, narrowing his eyes at the small body inside the trash bag. Inside the bag was an excessive amount of blood, so it didn't seem like a simple murder. In fact, Ryoma looked like he had been stabbed countless times. Whoever had done this...was a bloodthirsty demon and he knew only one person who could fit the bill.

"I was on my way to make some breakfast for everyone. At that moment, Gonta, Tsumugi and Angie were present with me. As I searched for the ingredients, I had accidentally discovered a large garbage bag. I had wondered what the bag would contain and that was when I discovered our dear friend Ryoma inside that bag," Kirumi explained. She had a stoic look on her face, but small traces of irritation and unease could be seen on her face if anyone observed carefully.

Everyone had shocked and anguished looks on their faces. It was at that moment Monokuma appeared.

"Upupupu, how interesting!" Monokuma laughed. "Well, here it is! The Monokuma File! The Monokuma File is a detailed report that summarizes all the info about the dead body! But there's no info that would point to the blackened, cuz that would ruin the trials. I dunno, maybe you guys will find it useful, since you're not experienced investigators, y'know?"

Immediately, Kokichi swiped the Monokuma File from Monokuma. "I'll take that then. Let's see."

While the others questioned the validity of such a source, the violet haired boy looked at the Monokuma File. The victim was Ryoma Hoshi. The victim's body was discovered in the dining hall. The estimated time of death was 8:50pm. The victim was subjected to blunt force trauma to the back of the skull, resulting in cranial fractures and immediate death. The victim was repeatedly stabbed, though none of the stab wounds resulted in immediate death.

Ah, the description seemed familiar to the supreme leader. Was this similar to the first case in his timeline? The most important aspect of the Monokuma File was the time. The victim died at 8:50pm. "So~since he died yesterday, does this mean the number of survivors go up from two to five?"

The moment he mentioned it, a few of his classmates sent him glares. Almost as if he committed the murder or took solace in the fact someone died.

Monokuma stared hard at the boy. "Upupupupu, that's correct! Now I know why you made that offer. You slept with Kaede and Miu yesterday, so that's why you wanted to increase the number of survivors!"

As Monokuma said that, Miu and Kaede quickly looked away, blushes evident on their faces. Everyone else in the room gasped that Kokichi had slept with two girls! One alone was already surprising, but two!?

"You degenerate male!"

Before Kokichi or anyone else knew what happened, Tenko dashed at the supreme leader and held him by the throat. Even Kokichi was surprised. He would expect Maki to do such a thing to him, but Tenko? Her hold on him was strong, so Kokichi struggled to get his message across, "Wh-What are y-you d-doing? Y-You'll be the bl-blackened."

As Kokichi was getting strangled, he had a chance to see the expressions of most of his classmates. Maki sent him a smirk. Kiibo had a slight uptick of a smile. Shuichi watched the scene with a calculating eye. Gonta and Himiko were horrified. And last, Miu and Kaede were trying to get Tenko to stop strangling him.

"That's enough!" Kaito roared.

Luckily, Kaito had managed to push Tenko, which stopped her from strangling him. Kokichi gathered as much air as he could. He almost died! A few more seconds and he would've been dead! Again!

"You degenerate male!"

Once again, Tenko lunged at him, but he had four people shielding him from the girl. Kaede, Miu, Rantaro and Kaito.

"Well, no need for the class trial. We have our killer right here, Tenko!" Kokichi declared. With his declaration, a few murmurs and whispers could be heard about the idea of Tenko being Ryoma's killer.

"O-of course not," Tenko denied. "He was a degenerate male, but not as bad as that degenerate male! This degenerate male sullied two sweet maidens and deserves death!"

With a smirk, Kokichi leaned in slightly. "You do know that makes you our suspect, right?"

"I-It's not me!"

However, her plea fell on deaf ears, as everybody looked away from Tenko. Including Himiko. A tear or two fell down Tenko's eyes as she watched her precious Himiko shun her. Feeling heartbroken, she rushed out of the dining hall.


"U-um, shouldn't we have stayed back with them to investigate the crime scene?" Kaede asked.

"There's no need," Kokichi shook his head. "They have Shuichi, the Ultimate Detective. Rather, I think it's better to look at the other surroundings. I have a certain suspicion."

As they walked around the park, Miu noticed that her friend Kaede looked dejected. Perhaps she wondered if Kokichi had committed the murder. "Yo, shorty! Don't tell me you committed the murder?" Miu demanded.

"Pfft, of course not. As if I would get my hands dirty for that," Kokichi scoffed, looking at his fingers. "Anyways, with the number of survivors going up from two to five, we have a higher chance of getting out of here."

"Y-yeah! That's right!"

Suddenly, the supreme leader noticed a small red spot of blood near a tree. How interesting...


After all the investigation, they class trial was about to begin.

"Alright, let's begin with a basic explanation of the Class Trial!" Monokuma declared. "After a period of debate, you will take a majority vote for who you believe is the killer. If you're right, the killer is punished! But if you're wrong, everyone else is punished and the killer is allowed to leave the Academy scot-free!"

The Monokubs agreed, adding in their statements.

"So, did anyone see Ryoma last night?" Kaede asked. When nobody spoke up or raised their hands, Kaede rephrased her question. "In a matter of fact, did anyone see Ryoma yesterday?"

"Oh, me! Me! I spoke with him, roughly around two in the afternoon," Oma happily rose his hand. "Though I never saw him again after that."

"Degenerate male! You killed him! You tried to reduce the number of guys, so you could get more girls! You were the last one to see him that day!" Tenko declared, throwing countless accusations against the boy. With a look of disgust and a horrid sneer, she concluded her accusations, "Degenerate male!"

"Hmm, weren't you the one trying to kill me? If you hate males that much, you could've killed Ryoma too," Kokichi playfully suggested. "Isn't that right?"

"O-Of course I wouldn't!"

Soon, a third person broke into the conversation. It was Korekiyo. "Kekeke. If I remember correctly, I saw Ryoma head to the park at around eight o'clock."

Kokichi happily rose his hand. "I saw a small amount of blood in the park. Perhaps it was from Ryoma?"

Kaito shook his head. "Impossible! Ryoma died in the dining hall! The blood couldn't be his!"

Shuichi had his hand on his chin. Them, he spoke up. "I think it's possible that both scenarios are connected. If Ryoma went to the park at eight, there was around fifty minutes between that time span before he got killed."

Kokichi nodded a few times. "That's absolutely correct. And the dining hall closes at ten, so the killer had roughly an hour to bring the dead body into the dining hall."

Rantaro shook his head. "It's possible the cases are connected, but why bring the dead body to the dining hall? That would bring unwanted attention."

Quickly, Kokichi dismissed Rantaro's claim. "That's true, but there's no need to find out more about the case. Now, we need to confirm who did it and who had alibis at that time."

"I was with Kaede the whole night! We had a girl's sleepover, so ain't no way it was us!" Miu yelled.

"Kiibo, Shuichi and I were working out! Doing push ups!" Kaito announced.

The other classmates insisted that they been in their rooms at that time.

"So, it's that degenerate male! He's the one responsible for this mess!"

Shuichi shook his head. "Wait. If I remember correctly, we spotted Tenko at the park when we were practicing."

"Affirmative," Kiibo added in.

"H-huh!?"

"Well, there we have it. Tenko is the murderer," Kokichi declared. "Wasn't that easy?"

"Kokichi, we don't know that for sure yet," Kaede reprimanded him. "We need to go over all the evidence."

"Okay. Tenko confesses. I killed Ryoma." Tenko said, looking anywhere, but Himiko's direction.

There was silence. One of them had just admitted that she had killed Ryoma.

"Why?" Kaede asked. "Ryoma didn't have to die."

Internally, Kokichi disagreed. Ryoma had to die, in order to increase the survivor count and appease the mastermind.

"Tenko believes no one would kill anybody today. So, since Ryoma doesn't have a reason to live, Tenko thought it would be fair to target him. Tenko wanted Himiko to survive the most and she most likely will if someone died today. Yet, Tenko heard that degenerate male say someone was targeting Himiko. So, Tenko planned to kill Ryoma and hide his body in a garbage bag in the forest. Then, Tenko would have the time to track down the degenerate male that was targeting Himiko," Tenko explained. "And Tenko thinks she found him! The degenerate male is Kokichi. To ruin a women's purity...he must die! So, why did you guys stop me from killing him. Why Kaede and Miu?"

Before any of the two girls could answer, Kokichi laughed. "I was joking~ Nobody was going to target Himiko! How dumb can you be?"

Korekiyo tilted his head up as a response. Tenko was gaping like a fish. There were a few glares directed at Kokichi's way.

"Y-you lied!" Tenko exclaimed.

Kokichi laughed in response. "Duh, I'm a liar after all. Who would trust a liar?"

At that moment, both Kaede and Miu looked down at their feet. However, Kokichi noticed their expressions and his jaw slackened.

"Do you know my lies are half full of good intentions? Like saving Miu and Kaede. I mean, I can't save them both if there were only two survivors."

"Why didn't you tell us from the start?" Kirumi asked. Although it wasn't clear to who the question was directed towards, the supreme leader was certain the maid was asking Tenko.

"I w-was going to announce it...Tenko just want to stare at Himiko's face before I die. As my last moment." Tenko answered.

At that point, Himiko faced Tenko. She was crying and it seemed like the tears weren't going to stop anytime soon. In a soft and broken voice, she asked, "Why Tenko?"

"Tenko's sorry, but I want you to survive Himiko," Tenko answered. "I love you."

Tenko's tender love declaration must have worked, because the tears were now flowing from Himiko. In fact, she wasn't the only one crying. Kaito, Gonta, Tsumugi, Miu and Kaede were crying as well, some of them crying bit more than others.

"Wahhhh! It's so sad!" Kokichi shed crocodile tears. "I mean, it's so similar to my situation and how I feel about Kaede and Miu."

Quickly enough, Kaede and Miu had blushes on their faces and looked away from the boy. The moment he mentioned that, a few students like Angie, Kaito and Kirumi apologized to Kokichi for thinking he was evil. As the scene unfolded, an irritated Maki and a frowning Kiibo were not happy that Kokichi was easily forgiven. Both Maki and Kiibo were certain that they were falling for Kokichi's trap.

"Wait a second," Shuichi interrupted. "If Tenko killed Ryoma in the forest and hid the body there, why did we find it in the dining hall? Also, why did you stab Ryoma so many times?"

As Shuichi mentioned that, everyone froze.

"Tenko didn't put the body in the dining hall! And she only hit Ryoma on the head with a baseball bat! Tenko had no idea why Ryoma was stabbed so many times!" Tenko exclaimed.

Monokuma laughed. "Well, now that we have it...It's voting time!" With that said, Monokuma sprung into action. "Please cast your votes with the lever in front of you! Who's gonna get chosen as the culprit? Will your choice be right or hopefully wrong? What's it gonna be?"

Everyone's spirits were shattered from their first experience of the class trial. Once they finished voting, the screen lit up and showed the image of the roulette wheel with their faces.

The screen stopped on Tenko's face. And the screen declared her...Guilty!

Monokuma laughed. "Look like you guys are correct! The one who killed Ryoma Hoshi was Tenko Chabashira!"

Tenko looked at Himiko with a sad smile. "Please survive. That's all I ask of you."

"Let's give it everything we've got! It's Punishment Time!"

Game Over

Tenko has been found guilty!

Time for the punishment!

Tenko stood in a dojo and soon after, five figures appeared in front of Tenko. They were human-sized robotic warriors and each were a different colour. One was blue, green, red, yellow and pink. Each of the robotic warriors had a wooden stick.

Charging forward, the red, blue, yellow and pink robotic warriors attacked Tenko. The Ultimate Akido Master tried to fight back, but was only able to deal some damage to the blue and yellow robotic warriors before her legs died out on her.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Before long, Tenko laid on the ground bloody and dead.

Before anyone knew what happened, the green robotic warrior pulled out a sword and slashed the blue robotic warrior. The blue robotic warrior struggled to fight back, and the green robotic warrior finished him off with the last strike.


"Huh? What the? Why is Monokid?" Monotaro asked, sweating bullets.

"M-Monodam. What have you done?" Monophanie looked away in horror. The pink kub then barfed on the floor.

Monosuke remained silent. He stared at the kids and the next instant, Kokichi sent him a wink.

"No! My sweet darling Monokid! Claimed as collateral damage! This is a nightmare...This is unacceptable...My precious cub is...On second thought, I guess it's okay. After all, I still got four more cubs! Phew! I'm glad you kids came in bulk."

"Huh? It's okay?" Monotaro asked. The red kub looked clueless and confused on what had happened.

"I-I'm shocked...Our existence...means that little, huh?" Monophanie paled.

"What's done is done, what's dead is dead. No point crying over crushed cubs." Monokuma announced. "Unless you wanna end up like these sad sacks."

Monosuke fidgeted with his glasses. "So long! Bear well!"

And with that, Monosuke disappeared.

"Huh? Monosuke?" Monotaro called out.

"Why that little cub! I wonder if he has an early death wish!" Monokuma angrily seethed.

"What was all that about?" Angie asked. "Family problems?"

Shuichi shook his head. "I'll never know."


The mastermind was not pleased. Everything had gone wrong from the start! It was awesome that there was a lot of interest in the violet haired boy, but he had been causing too many problems. In fact, when the mastermind had set up the game, it was supposed to be Kaede and Shuichi. How did it end up being Kaede and Kokichi? And it wasn't a minor change, there were too many major changes to this story! The mastermind originally believed Rantaro was the wild card, but maybe Kokichi was the true wild card. Not to mention, Rantaro wasn't even dead yet! This was getting dangerous...Kokichi was going to have to die!
