Mission 4 – Attempted Murder Case in the Kingdom
Alro Akaneko's P.O.V.
I'm in a room... dark.
The surroundinds are full of savage dead murderers that I killed out of mercy.
My sister and I were tired as we collapsed on the marble, cold floor.
My sister's wounds healed quickly while mine is slow and numb.
I can't move my whole body. Only my eyes are open.
I heard the door opened. A woman in black kimono approached to us. I saw her face and her long, flame color hair. She whispered something valuable but I can't hear a single word. Thus, my vision turned black.
*arf* *arf*
"Huh?" I woke up in my room. Returned to a present day. I was lying in a healing incubator as I pressed the button and the door activated to open.
*arf*
There's that bark again. As I looked beside the healing incubator.
*arf*
"AAAAAAAAWWWW! SO CUUUUTEEEE!" I awed that I saw a white micro-tea cup Pomeranian with black ears and tail. "C'mere!" I took out my hand as the dog ran towards and hopped on my hand. It's soooo smart and adorable. I snuggled the dog. "Oh my gosh! I'm dying of your cuteness! I wonder if you're a dude or gal," I was checking the dog but the tail covered it. "Guess you're too embarrass to show it. Actually, you're a boy because you don't have nipples.I'm going to take a bath first."
I put him down on the floor as I do my morning routine. After my bath, I wore short, red dress, black jacket, black fishnet shocking and white boots with silver hearts on each blue collars. I brushed my hair as I checked my appearance on the mirror. Still the same face with my flower. My flower isn't an accessory. It's my birthmark but my family didn't explain to me. Only they said if I grow up. I'm 16 now. So, I think it's the right time to tell me.
I carried the dog and went out of my room. Damn! This dog is incredibly soft and fluffy. Did some of us adopt him?
Suddenly, I spotted someone hid behind the wall... Dark blue hair and grey eyes.
"Shuichi?"
Confirmed! He is Shuichi but he ran off. He supposed to surprise or greet me... Wait a minute?
*Flashback from Mission 2*
"Shuichi's, Maki's and Himiko's memories returned. Therefore, the conclusion is that their personalities, likes, dislikes and other stuffs changed as well," Rev answered as he sipped his cup of tea.
"It's a good thing, right?" I asked.
"Maaaybeee," he rolled his eyes. "It can be a bad thing because their personalities can be weird, just like Shuichi's sociapath."
My eyes widened when I realized that he's right. "Yikes! Then, what should we do?"
"Let them be and accept them. Likewise, the old version and new version merged into another version. Better watch their entertainment than nothing."
*Flashback End*
I remembered what Rev said. I have to check it out. Shuichi rushed to the dining room as I followed him.
"Surprise!"
As a result, I was surprised by everybody, DRV3 gang, Hinata-san, Komaeda-san and the twins. There's a buffet for lunch. Sushi, BBQ, pizza, spaghetti, salads, hamburgers and more on a large table. Rev didn't come out of his room and watched us through surviiellance cameras. However, I didn't see Kokichi.
"Finally! You woke up from Atua's dream," Angie cheered happily.
"You were in a coma for two weeks," Kiyo reminded.
Two weeks?! That was short. I mean, I normally healed in one year if my heart was stabbed. Did Rev create a new formula or use a human blood? To me, I should thank him. "Two weeks? Did I miss anything?"
"We spent our time with Danny, Sam and Tucker. Danny and I chatted about space and astronauts. Too bad that they didn't join our adventures and went home. Well, I understood him because he's the hero of Amity Park with his sidekicks," Kaito replied.
"True," I simply nodded.
"Additionally, Shuichi, Maki, Himiko, Kaito and Miu had their personalities returned. Shuichi is a weaboo-"
"Hahahahahaha!"
Everyone heard the laughter… I swear that it wasn't me. It was the dog.
"DID SOMEONE PUT DRUGS IN THIS DOG?!" I shocked as I accidentally dropped him.
Suddenly, the dog fell on the floor and transformed into-
"Oh my god! It's a Kokemon!"
"Alro, you're such a bully!WAAAAAAHHH!" Kokichi whined with a fake cry and crocodile tears.
Yup! That dog was Kokichi, using his random. How did he learn the animal shapeshifting? Maybe reading 'Marvel' and 'DC' comics. Not only that, his clothes are fashionable like Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy. Well, it's the part of his taste. And then, someone snapped at me with his fingers.
"Alro, are you paralyze by my cuteness?" Kokichi teased me with a single question.
"No, I was looking at the KFC fried chicken that Keebo is eating-Huh?!" OoO
"Ha-hahahahaha! I programmed and made a whole eating function. Keebo can eat and drink with his five senses tongue," Miu laughed with joy.
"No, I didn't know that someone orders KFC fried chicken even the connection can not be reach... Just kidding. I'm surprised that you added an advance function for Keebo," I smiled. "But don't give him the Mcdonald's szechaun dipping sauce."
Keebo confused. "What's a szechaun dipping sauce-"
"Food is going to get cold. Let's eat!" NJ said with many meals on his plate. He's right. It's not delicious when the dishes are cold.
All of us were eating meals from buffets. Delish! The foods were cooked by Hinata-san, Kirumi, Maki, NJ and Shane. Rev can cook too but he's charge of paying and preparing the ingrediants they need. He wants to taste the others' cooking than his. They told me that they have schedules for their house chores because they don't want me to treat them as guests and want to work here (Of course, they have payday from Rev). While eating and chatting...
"By the way, why Shuichi is a weaboo? He's just an uber fan of Danganronpa," I asked.
"Because of this!" Kokichi rolled out scroll and showed a poster of Shuichi kissed a photoshop Kyoko.
"PPPFFFFTTT! Damn it, Kokichi!" Shuichi shouted after spitting his coffee. Then, the detective chased Kokichi as the trickter ran away from him.
I accidentally LMAO to see the poster. Kaito stopped Kokichi and snatched the poster.
"Geez! Kokichi, you always like teasing Shuichi," he said... not angrily.
"Aaaaaw! But he's sooo cute when I teased him and chased me. Stop being a big bro, Kaito. We were friends since elementary," Kokichi pouted and folded his arm. As I heard his heart beat, he didn't lie.
"You two were childhood friends?" I questioned with my curiosity.
"Well, yeah. I bullied him and his best friend kicked my nuts as a punishment. At the end, all of us became fast friends. Although, I can't remember her name," Kaito answered.
"It's cool. It's normal that all of us can't remember in the past," I smiled. "Oh! Since you and Miu had your true memories back, what's your power?"
"Staaars!" Kaito cheered as he moved his arms sideways and revealed a rainbow of tiny stars.
O3O
XD
"Nice!" I commented.
"Thanks but my star power abilities are bright light to blind the enemies, throwing at them like shurikens and starburst."
"Starburst? Like a kamehamehaa?"
"Yeah! I didn't know you watched DBZ."
"DBZ?" Gonta tilted his head.
"DBZ - DragonBall Z. An action, fighting anime. They have muscles like you," I explained.
"Oh! Gonta want to meet and fight them to the challenge," Gonta felt excited to meet them, even they're real in this dimension.
Suddenly, I saw a living, long hair took a lollipop and gave it to the host. The owner of the hair is Miu.
"Miu, your hair is alive," I pointed.
"Of course! Not just alive hair. It's an octohair. My hair can stretch from far distance and if you cut it, it regenarates or glue the haircut together."
"What happens if you shave your hair into bold?"
"My hair will grow quickly. I already did that yesterday. Ha-hahaha!" Miu laughed happily. Miu is still Miu.
While eating, I checked on Maki and Himiko for quick changes. Maki is enjoying watching her boyfriend who acted brotherly to Kokichi and Shuichi. She seems like a mature,typical girl without interest of violence. Futhermore, Himiko enjoyed the girls' company. She was a lazybum and always thinking fantasy life before. Now, she accepted reality that Tenko taught her about letting her emotions out. I wonder what their true personalities look like. Pretty sure it wasn't that bad.
"Alro?"
"Hmm?" I looked at Kaede.
"You're wondering about our true personalities, right?" she questioned.
"Yeah and why?"
"I was excited to get our memories back but I was anxious about our true personalities... Also, mine," she mumbled nervously.
I sighed and patted her shoulder. "Don't cha' worry. New you and old you combined as one as you. There's nothing to fear because you might learn something new. Besides, Shuichi and the others are just fine," I smiled positively.
"I guess you're right," Kaede nodded.
*beep! beep*
All of us had text messages from Rev. Guess I'm not the only one. Rev sent us the same text.
'Everyone,
Come to the dressing room and wear fancy chinese, japanese or indian attires for special ocassion. You're all invited to the celebration of new legal system.'
"Huh? An invitation? For what?" I asked.
*beep* *beep*
'Answer your question later. Hajime, Shane, NJ and Nagito knew it.'
I looked at them.
Shane grinned with cuteness and NJ showed no emotion. "It's a seeecreeet!" they said in a duo.
"Go dress up. I'll explain later."
In two hours, we wore our outfits and make up as we headed to the teleportor.
Me - Azura Noir cosplay w/o light blue wig
Kokichi - Kyle Cosplay from Suikoden V w/o blonde wig
Shuichi - Blue samurai outfit
Kaede - Pink kimono with music note patterns and cherry blossom hairpin

Himiko - light red Chinese dress

NJ - green yukata like his dad
"Moustache? Really?" Shuichi raised a brow and stared at Kaito.
"What? I like to put it on," Kaito grinned with a thumbs up.
Maki rolled her eyes. "You look ridiculous."
"Sis, why you wear too much gold? You'll might get rob," NJ warned.
"These are fake gold. Plus, I want him to notice me and my melody," Shane said with sparking of hopeful romance because she said 'him'.
"Pardon me for my curiosity. Where is the location that we are going?" Kiibo questioned.
"Is it India, China or Japan?" Angie too.
"None of them," Hajime pressed the button as all of us teleported somewhere in an ancient kingdom.
As I analyzed the area, this place looks familiar. India-Chinese-Nepal-Bhutan style. Ancient outfits that the citizens wore. Last not the least, a huge palace with a huge celebration. I know where we are. "This is-"
"KHURA'IN!" Shuichi screamed like a fanboy as I jumpscared. "This is where Ace-" I shut his mouth up with my bare hands.
"I know that but not too loud," I scolded him.
"Did all the people know us from the game?" Maki questioned.
I shook my head. "No, they don't play game consoles and having internet access Khura'in is more like a generation X."
"Well, it's a good thing that some kids play outdoors for physical educations and fun experiences," Tenko's right. It's a good thing. Some Millennial kids these days are playing videogames, watch YouTube videos and chat on internet in many hours.
"Guys, the reason why we're all here because the former queen of Khura'in, Queen Amara invited us to the 1st celebration of the new DC Act with the help of Apollo Justice and Phoenix Wright. She invited all of us," Komaeda-san smiled.
"Wow! The more, the merrier. Is Hinata-san the part of this?" Kokichi grinned as he put his arms on the back of his head.
Komaeda-san and Hinata-san just smiled and nodded.
Kokichi's grin disappeared and changed into a shock expression. "No way! Hinata-san is a lawyer!"
"With Izuru's talent, I passed the bar exam and worked as a lawyer in one year at Khura'in since Apollo is the only one that they had. Also, Alro's mother, Alro and Neon helped too as they gave the job offerings to the foreigners and people from Khura'in. As a result, this year have more lawyers and Apollo can go back to the States whenever he wants," Hinata-san explained.
"I'm glad it worked out. Without you, Neon and mom, Apollo almost died from over-work," I chuckled.
"Who's Neon?" Kokichi tiltled his head. "I already met Night but we didn't talk each other."
"Neon is an international A.I. that solves impossible problems to a miracle. He's also an ultimate hope like my boyfriend," Komaeda-san replied as Hinata-san blushed. "To be honest, we try to figure out."
"Gonta hear everybody at the palace. Gonta think that the party get started," Gonta noticed.
"C'mon! We don't want miss the party!" Angie cheered happily as she hopped to the palace.
All of us walked to the Palace of Khura'in as Hinata-san showed the invitation card. Formerly 'Ga'ran Palace' was changed after the previous queen is arrested. In the future, the palace will rename 'Rayfa Palace'. The guard checked the list on the scroll. All our names are on the lists and he welcomed us. We entered to the largest ballroom with some guests. Not only large but also, magnificent with the Khura'in artifacts and designs. The most awesome art that I saw… The paintings on the giant wall are the Holy Mother, the dragon, the tiger and the phoenix. Very artistic indeed. I took a picture with my IPhone.
"It's so allure. Shuichi told me that they have spirit mediums and religion. I want to study them," Kiyo amazed.
"Are you going to ask the Fey Clan or the Queen to summon someone?" Kirumi asked.
"No. My sister from the artificial world didn't exist. Therefore, I want to learn more about them instead," Kiyo answered.
"Alro!" Someone called me. As I turned my head to the direction, a man wore a white Khura'inese prince cloths with a red dragon on the left side, an attorney badge from the right collar and the Khura'in attorney badge on the middle of his collar. Not in sandals but only leather, brown boots. His signature hairstyle is short, brown hair with twin ahoges or mostly horns as always. "Long time, no see!"
"Prince Apollo Justice of the Justice Law Office, Fancy to meet you and I like your prince outfit," I greeted with a smile.
"Not you too," Apollo irritated.
"Told you that your suit fits perfectly," Nahyuta chuckled.
"What's up, Nahyuta?" I greeted with a smile.
"We're alright. Khura'in became a better place and the legal system turned back to normal. No sudden executions for the false accuses and the lawyers. It's a normal but strict trial just like the rest. As well as we have more attorneys than one," he replied.
"Yeah… I most died by the load of work," Apollo sighed.
"Nyeheehee! I guess you're a workaholic than a neat freak."
I didn't know Kokichi is with me. Until I saw Nahyuta and Apollo popped out the big eyes. "Kokichi Oma?!"
"Yeeees? What is it?" Kokichi questioned with a grin.
"Alro, is this a REAL Kokichi or a cosplay Kokichi?!" Apollo asked me, revealing his fan boy persona.
"Hey! I am 100% REAL. DRV3 is already done and all of us, except Tsumugi, survived," Kokichi pouted.
"If you're here, then where's Shuichi Saihara?" Apollo's dream is going to become true.
I looked around and spotted Shuichi's chatting with Kaito. "Hey, Shuichi! Apollo Justice is here!" I called him loudly.
The detective glanced quickly as he saw Apollo with fan boy expression. "APOOOLLLLOOOOO!" he ran speed ahead.
"SHUUIIIICHIIIII!" Apollo did the same.
They're going to hug each other but ended up hit themselves like crashing cars. "Ow…"
Our reaction is priceless. Kokichi laughed loudly. I covered my mouth for the shock and Nahyuta is speechless. I watched NicoB's videos and imagined that both boys with same voice is funny.
"So, how did you two know about Danganronpa, Nahyuta?" I questioned because I didn't know Apollo is a huge fan boy.
"Apollo discovered DanganRonpa and played the whole series. Even, my sister and I joined in. The story is very fascinating. My sister idolized Komaru."
"Is that means she's going to buy a megaphone to shout out in the courtroom?" Kokichi asked.
"Honestly, no."
While having a few conversations, the legendary blue attorney, Phoenix Wright and magenta chief prosecutor, Mile Edgeworth arrived in the party. Still in their law suits. Mr. Wright's adoptive daughter, Trucy is here, wearing short, sparkling, cyan ballgown and doll shoes with her locket from her biological father. Mr. Wright's former assistant and master of Kurain, Maya Fey wore a purple kimono as well as her cousin, Pearl Fey. Another lawyer, Athena Cykes enjoyed chatting with Apollo, Shuichi and Kaede. She's wearing a yellow and white mermaid dress but she didn't wear any accessories like other girls. Only her mother's mementos. Of course, all the guests, lawyers and prosecutors wore fancy clothes. Especially, Prosecutor 'Pain in ass' is still in his gold suit.
"Alro, I felt something terrible might happen," Kokichi warned.
I looked at him. "What do you mean?"
"I don't know but my random seems to react," he said worriedly. His random reacted?
I closed my eyes and sensed it. He's right. A strange, negative aura is lingering in the ballroom. As I opened my eyes, I nodded. "You're right, Kokichi. I do sense it. It's a negative aura coming from a person or thing."
"If it's a negative aura from a person or thing, how can we find them?" he asked.
"We can trap them first. I think Kiyo have the purified salt. He's talking to Nahyuta about Khura'inese. To speed it up, we should ask Maki for helping us to block the palace with salt," I gave an idea.
"Crazy but this is a kingdom of spiritual power. So, let's go then," Kokichi agreed.
