As promised, I've updated a new chapter earlier than usual. So, hope you enjoy this one!

Gina

I've decided to leave the first phase of the project to Rika and Paylor, seeing as though both of them are enthusiastic to start on it. I, on the other hand, thought of helping later when the things we need arrived. In the meantime, I'll just walk around the school, find something paranormal, and then come back to the site of the project. First, I checked the new areas of the second floor, such as the swimming pool. I wasn't much of a swimmer, but checking it out would be nice. As I did, I found Serene and Heishi having a conversation. "Um…"

"So, you don't have DID?" I overhead Serene asking Heishi.

The soldier responded with a confused shook of the head. "No, I don't think so. What is that, by the way?" He asked, and then turned to my direction. "Oh, Gina! Come over here." He said with a small smile.

As told, I walked over to them. "W…What are you guys talking about?"

Heishi sighed. "I'm not really sure. After I left, Serene dragged me here to have this strange chat with her. She thinks I have DID, whatever that is…"

"Dissociative Identity Disorder." Serene began. "It's also known as multiple personality disorder."

"Why would you think that I have that?" Heishi questioned.

She looked down, seemingly depressed. "After Kantle's execution, your personality completely changed."

"Changed? How?" Heishi asked. "I've always been like that."

Serene shook her head. "Not really. That time, you became brutal, aggressive, and…"

"A sailor?" I finished, but both of them just look at me. I just quickly added, "I mean, he swore, didn't he? I-Isn't that what sailors do?" Heishi and Serene looked at each other and let out soft laughs. I sighed.

"Hehe, what a weird way to put that out, Hagarashi." Serene said with a light expression. "But in a good way." She added as she turned to me and smiled. "It's good to see that you're coming out of your shell little by little."

"Hm?" I just looked at them as I have them a slightly crooked smile. "Y-You guys are weird as well…" To that, we all gave out short laughs. Of course, I avoided doing so at times. After that, Serene left to check on the project Rika and Paylor were working on. Meaning, I was left alone with Heishi.

"I don't know about DID…" Heishi began. "But I know that I have no such thing." He looked at me, assuring his words.

"Then why did you become like that before?" I inquired. He just looked away from me and sighed. "…Is it something bad?"

"…Yeah…" He averted his attention back at me and said, "I'm sorry, but could we talk about this some other time?"

I was a bit shocked, but at the same time, knew that Heishi needed some time alone. "…Alright. See you later, then…" With that I left.

I was deeply confused as I walked down to the first floor. Apparently, Heishi has no DID, and he changed due to a traumatic event? Why would Serene even question about that? Maybe she's concerned, that's all. As I was thinking deeply, I bumped into Akane and Liam, and apparently, they were having either a heated conversation, or a light argument. Akane, surprisingly, had a belt of handguns, while Liam was holding onto some canvases. Thinking what's best, I approached them, even thought they're both are so loud. "What's wrong?"

Both of them looked my way, and eased down the tension. "I-I just wanted to show some amazing shooting to Liam in the gym." Akane began.

"Excusez moi, mademoiselle, but I have to finish my artworks for my art gallery." Liam said. "Besides, I thought you were going to watch a documentary on Greece."

"I was, but all of a sudden, I found my handguns in my dorm-room, so I thought of practice-shooting!" She exclaimed.

"W-Why would you be shooting in the gym?!"

"It's the only open-spaced room I can think of!"

"I thought Monokuma took those guns away…" I muttered.

"Eh?" Akane stopped shouting at Liam as she turned to look at me. "Yeah, I was wondering about that too. Maybe he can't handle that amount of guns…"

"How many do you have madame?" Liam questioned.

"A lot!" She exclaimed happily, then asked, "Hey Liam, when are you going to finish Maron's bet?"

"Huh? You still remember that?" I questioned. Now that I think about, Liam never finished Maron's bet. But, Maron's gone, so it should be null and void, right?

"Of course I remember it!" Akane assured then looked at Liam. "So, you still plan to do it?"

Liam just looked at Akane then stared down on the floor. "Hm…maybe, I'm not so sure, mes amis…"

Silence fell upon us for a while, but of course, it was quickly broken by Akane. "Yo!"

"Yo?" I muttered.

"It's getting too quiet, and you guys stopped talking all of a sudden!" She exclaimed. "Well, I'm gonna leave you two now. I'm going to find someone to watch me practice." She said, then, as hyper as ever, rushed out of here. Loud as she is, she's quite good in keeping the energy in the place high, maybe a bit too high.

"Madame Gina," Liam exclaimed joyfully, looking over at me. "You don't like loud people, right?"

I tilted my head slightly. "I never said anything like that."

"N-No, it's just that, you're a very quiet person. Isn't it that people like that don't like those kind?"

"Some may be like that…" I answered. "But, I don't really mind."

"Why is that Madame?" He asked with a smile and curious smile.

"…Having Akane here is a good thing. She keeps the atmosphere light." I answered as I looked up dreamingly, for some reason. I was deep in thoughts that I didn't even notice Liam waving his hands in front of me.

An hour passed, and I went to the cafeteria to get something to eat. Earlier, I accompanied Liam to the site of the project, since he said that that's the place he'll paint his works for the art corner. Of course, Rika held me back a little to discuss on a few matters, such as where things should go and what I would like to contribute. As said earlier, I'll help out when the ordered items arrives, and that's when Rika let me go. In the cafeteria, I found Isaiah and Josephine. "Lady Hagarashi, what brought you here?" Isaiah greeted with a small smile. Josephine, as always, was silent as she looked at my direction then turned away. She also held onto her umbrella, which I'm still not sure why.

"I'm just going to eat something." I answered bluntly as I went to the kitchen. There, I found Mei preparing tea. "Hi, Mei."

"Gina-san!" Mei exclaimed with her bright smile. I approached the counter and began preparing my own food. The Lolita then initiated a conversation with me. "How's the ghost-hunting so far?" She asked with slight curiosity.

"So far, I wasn't able to detect any plasma or any readings on Maron's or Kana's lingering spirits…" I answered knowledgeably. Mei looked down slightly as I mentioned 'Maron and Kana'. "Sorry…"

"N-No, it's okay." She quickly apologized, waving her hands frantically. "I-I just miss them, that's all."

"But…those two…"

"I know that Kana is a bit wild and Maron is very mean, but they're still our classmates, right?" She stated with a solemn expression. "…It's terrible that they're gone so quickly…"

I wasn't sure on how to uplift Mei's spirits. I'm not like Akane or Liam, who are both capable of cheering others up with their bubbly and carefree personality. I should try changing the subject. "W-Why are you entitled the "Ultimate Internet Idol"?" I asked.

"Eh?" She looked at me, a bit shocked. After a moment, she gave me a small smile. "I-It's not like I did anything amazing. Um, how should I start…let's see, I'm fifteen years-old now, and I started joining online sites when I was seven."

She's the same age as I am? I wonder who's younger, then. "What kind of sites did you join?"

"Hehe, different kinds, like MMORPG sites, Online Publishing Sites, and many more." She said then giggled. "I also post videos of myself online, doing random things."

"Is that so?"

She nodded. "Yes, it's very enjoyable. Before I knew it, I became famous on the Internet, known to have maxed out my own characters in Roleplay or MMORPG sites, have written out several online stories then having it published by different publishing factories, owning videos that acquired over thousands of views, and many more."

"So you did that much?" I asked a bit surprised. "You must have a lot of time and fans."

"Yeah, it was fun, but I prefer a quiet environment from time to time. Still though, it helped me become known in reality."

"Wait, what?" But before I could ask her, she carried a tray of tea and brought it to the others, thus leaving the kitchen. "…What did she mean by that?" I thought about it for awhile as I finished making my own meal. As I did, I went outside to eat it, only to find Asura there, alone. "Where are they?"

"W-Who?"

"Mei, Isaiah and Josephine."

"O-Oh, they left." Asura answered nervously as he looked down at the table. I feel like he was nervous at looking at me, either that or he's scared of something. I then sat down opposite of him and sipped my soup. I then looked at him. He's a quiet guy, as well, but more nerve-wrecked and easily embarrassed than I am. He looked my way, then immediately averted his attention at something else. I merely sighed. He then muttered. "Y-You're not going to help with the Project?"

"Later. How about you?" I asked. He whispered something then shrugged. "What's wrong?"

"I-I'm not sure if I could help at all. I mean, I-I'm not that physically fit, like Heishi and Paylor, and I'm not that creative, like Liam…"

"That doesn't mean that you couldn't help." I stated as I took another sip from my soup.

Asura sighed as he laid his head on the table. "I-I could try…but I end up hurting someone in the end…"

"Why?" I asked, now curious.

"I-I'm just clumsy, I guess…I either end up scratching someone or hurting them some other way…" He looked at me, then quickly added, "I-I'm not doing it on purpose, of course!"

"It seems." I said, and then nodded at him to show that I believe his words.

He let out a relieved smile and exclaimed, "T-Thank you, Gina-san."

"Don't mention it." I replied as I finished my soup. Suddenly, a thought came to my head. "What's your title?"

"My title?" Asura repeated. I nodded then he looked down. "I-I'm not sure…I think I remember it, but…" He paused as silence took over.

I looked at him attentively, and then I said, "You don't want to talk about it?"

"I-I'm just not sure of it…" He answered. "E-Excuse me…" He muttered then quickly left. I wonder what was going on with him. As I finished my soup and had it washed, I went and checked on the project.

A day passed, and fortunately, I was able to sleep through the night with ease. Maybe letting myself get tired immensely before sleeping made me sleep faster and deeper. That morning, as I was washing up, I quickly remembered what I helped out with yesterday.

After three hours of waiting, the things that Rika ordered from the Monokuma Catalogue arrived, and most of us students were called to help out. Of course, from what I got yesterday, Asura didn't participate, and so did Heishi. "Are you sure it's fine to leave those two?"

Rika sighed as she looked at me while directing the others. "Let them. It's their decision." She said. She looked around, then shouted, "Akane, don't shoot the wall!"

I turned to look at Akane, and from what I can see, she's shooting the wall with one of her handguns. Apparently, she was helping Isaiah out with hanging picture frames and other wall decors. "I'm not shooting the wall, I'm shooting the nails!" She exclaimed, then continued on with her shooting.

"Shooting the nails?" I questioned.

"Don't worry," Akane assured, smiling. "I'm using a Ruger Mark II and my keen eyes, so hitting small objects won't be a problem!"

"You know I'm not a gun expert, Akane." Rika said as she then ordered me to move some decorations and a coffee table. Luckily, it wasn't so difficult, compared to the others' tasks. For example, Paylor is in charge of moving heavy materials and interior construction, where he has to make frames for small rooms inside the big classroom. Liam is in charge of choosing the floorings and painting the walls himself, of course, with help from the others. There are also other difficult tasks.

As I exited my room, I found Himitsu loitering in front of the canteen, where inside we hold our daily meetings. He looked at my direction then smiled. "Good morning, Gina-chan~" He exclaimed happily. "How was your sleep yesterday?"

"It was fine." I answered, but then I realized that he wasn't present as well yesterday. He was probably slacking off, like the playboy he is. "Aren't you going in?" I asked.

"In a while." He said, then gestured me to enter. "After you, malady." He cooed with a grin. I just shrugged slightly as I entered.

Inside, the others were present. Serene waved at me as I approached the table. "Good morning, Hagarashi!" I waved back as I took my seat. I then saw Rika standing up, but peculiarly, had a small smile on.

"First of all, thank you for those who cooperated with yesterday's Project." She announced. "The first day of the Project went well, and if we continue to work hard today, it may be finished in no time!" And with that, we all cheered and clapped joyfully. I observed quietly, but I was glad that there were some moments where we can simply come together and enjoy each other's presence. I looked around, but then noticed that someone's missing.

I leaned forwards slightly to Paylor, who was right beside me. "Have you seen Junko?" I asked quietly amongst the loud cheers.

He shook his head. "I'm sorry, mademoiselle. I haven't seen him since Monokuma's announcement…" He answered, looking slightly worried.

I sighed as I leaned against my chair. What if something bad happened to him? Wait, what if…no, it can't. It can't possibly happen. I then quickly stand up. "Ju-"

"Oi, when are you guys going to do something?!"

Monokuma shouted loudly through the speakers and complained violently in the screened. I immediately sat right back down, hoping that no one heard me. "W-What do you mean?" I'd asked.

"What do I mean?! What are you, an idiot?! I'm talking about when you guys are going to murder someone!"

All of us just looked at each other as Josephine continued to keep her eyes on the bear. "No one is going to kill anyone, Monokuma!" Heishi shouted.

"T-That's right!" Mei shouted, backing up Heishi.

"Don't compare us to Sir Maron, Sir Monokuma." Isaiah stated, and others nodded in agreement.

"What?! Can you just kill anyway?"

He tried pleading, but we already knew how to answer him. "We won't do it…" Serene invoiced.

"Besides…" Rika began. "Why are you pushing the Project's deadline? It seems strange…" Monokuma was a bit taken aback as he then faked a cough.

"E-Ehe, fine then…you guys are no fun at all…."

And with that, the speakers and screen went off. I heaved a sigh of relief. From how Monokuma was so impatient for the next murder, it means that Junko isn't dead. If that's the case, where is he?

Alright, hope you like it! Good thing no killed anyone today, huh? Anyway, next chapter is coming up on the usual update-day!

By the way, where did Junko went off to? Hope nothing happened to him, upupu~
