I was gone shlpping yesterday so I didn't update, sorry. But here's the beginning of chapter 3!
Everyone's gaze was locked upon the stack of ice skate which had engulfed Momoka- well, Tomoka—in the arena. On the ice were the words 'Ending Dance' written in bright red paint.
Most were still startled by the gloomy backstory of Tomoka/Momoka. Nobody would have ever thought that Momoka would have done such a horrible thing out of envy...and to kill her best friend because of that! It was unbelievable.
After a few seconds most of them decided to leave. Shido was one of the few remaining, his gaze filled with horror.
How? How could she had done such a thing? To both her younger twin and Hikari? It was simply horrible!
"Hey Shido-kun, let's go.. Everyone left and...we have to get over it. Keep moving on, and live for those who died," said Liz, placing a comforting hand on the boy's shoulder while slightly smiling. "Well find a way out for them. We'll explain what happen, expose justice afterward. Okay?"
"I was telling you that before..."
"So take your own advice and move forward!"
The brown-haired boy let the girl drag him out of the arena, away from Tomoka's probably mutilated corpse, hidden by ice skates.
"Hey guys! Another gate opened!" Daichi called out as the duo approached him.
"What's in it?" wondered Shido as they walked toward said gate.
"Didn't check yet," answered the amnesiac boy as they entered the new segment of the 'camp'. What they saw surprised the trio: luxurious buildings were scattered on the campgrounds. A roller coaster was beside a tiny ferris wheel, and a few other attractions were seeable in the distance. There was also a garden hidden by a hedge maze.
"What should we do first? It's so doodely-deedely-fucking amazing!" said Liz as her peachy gaze fell on the passage in front of them.
"I want to know what's inside the buildings first!" exclaimed Daichi, running toward the building the more close.
"A library?" Shido wondered, surprised. Thousands if not more than millions of books were lined up on gigantic shelves, covering all the walls except the entrance. Enormous bookcases divided the library into many sections, and at the center of the building was a crescent shaped desk providing a complete list of books the library contained and another list of which book genre was occupying each section. Many luxurious chairs were scattered here and there. Chiyoko sitting on one while reading a book.
"This is huge!" Daichi cried out in awe. It didn't take him long to grab Liz and Shido's arms and drag them into another building, though.
They were once again surprised: inside was a museum filled with various objects. On the sign was written The museum of the unbelievable and of the impossible! Our featured articles contain a shrunken head, paints made with insects' wings, the biggest shoes worn by the tallest man on earth, the biggest chair ever made, among others! We even have a shadow catcher and an alley containg the wax statues of the scariest, the most grandiose criminals of the world (fictional or some that already existed!)
"I wanna see that!" shouted Shuuya, who had appeared along with Keita, Chitose and Neru. The illusionist began to run, entering the actual museum and was followed by Neru.
"There's a problem with all those things..." muttered Keita as Chitose followed the running duo, slowly walking while stretching her arms.
"What is it?" wondered Shido, frowning.
"He keeps giving us entertainments...but why?" With that, he disappeared through the door of the museum.
"Let's go see everything else!" exclaimed Daichi, once again dragging Liz and Shido towards another building.
Will I stop being amazed? Shido wondered as he faced a shark. A shark behind a thick window of a large aquarium containing many other sharks and a few small fishes. His bluish-green eyes widened in awe as he stared at the sharks swimming in the water, seemingly well-nourished.
"Hey! There's another aquarium with dolphins! Oh, and there's another one with sealions!" shouted Liz, happiness flooding her eyes.
Another tank of water, besides the sharks' did contained dolphins mixed with small fished. Moving again you could see a pool of water besides a strip of land on which cute little sea lions moved about. Some were swimming into the water, jumping out once in a while.
"Wah...it's amazing here!" said Daichi, staring at the sharks. "I wonder why we never noticed a place this big behind the fence..."
"Let's check out the last building!" suggested Liz, her eyes glimmering with joy.
They did as suggested, entering the building to discover an arcade. Games of all kinds were scattered inside, some in which you could win prizes. Jin was playing a game named Sanctuary Dash*, in which you run away from a hoard of monsters while avoiding different obstacles. Usagi won a plushie from the claw crane, and Ivyan and Ryugo were playing together in a shooting game based on the famous movie Dinosaur Park**, killing velociraptors by shooting with their plastic guns.
"It's 10 PM, bastards! It's Night Time!" suddenly screeched the voice of Monokuma through nearby speakers. Shido's eyes shot wide open. 10 PM, already? It wasn't even that dark outside!
"I guess we'll see the rest tomorrow," sighed Liz as they rejoined the others, all headed toward the cabins.
"I didn't even had time to eat dinner yet!" Neru whined, his hands on his growling stomach.
"Go grab something to eat then!" responded Jin and the green-eyed boy did as suggested, running to the cafeteria.
Shido looked at his peers, seeing that most adorned a joyful look. But then there was Keita, who was frowning as he spoke to Chitose, who didn't seem to care that much. He was probably talking about the reason why they had such thing while they were supposed to kill each other to escape. It was a good question, a question that had appeared when the first gate had opened.
Why giving them such things if they were supposed to escape, regardless of it being through murder?
