Narration !
MAKOTO'S POINT OF VIEW
« It was…a big day,to say the least. »
« It has been,yes,but to think Kiyotaka did it while thinking about us,I cannot possibly imagine the pressure he had on his shoulders,and that only because we have all been immature. »
« Yeah,that's pretty much what happened,I feel guilty,I mean,I haven't really been the most mature in that situation,I played the lone wolf,and here we are. »
« You would not be the only one on that state,we all should feel guilty,as we all have been fools. »
« Yeah,I know,so,how are you on your side,have you finished those noodles soon ? »
« The noodles are ready,I am only waiting for the meatballs to be fully cooked,on your side ? »
« I finished everything,all I need is for you to finish. »
« And you will need to wait a minute or two. »
« I can wait,it isn't like i'm in a hurry. »
Makoto waited for Kirumi to finish,and they then went on the infirmary with the plates,because after everything that happened,Kirumi told Shuichi to put Chihiro in the infirmary,as he would be more comfortable here than on a room with other people.
« You can eat,everyone. »
« Thank you,Makoto. »
« No problem. »
« So,Shuichi,sorry to ask that but,since you are the only who we don't know much about,why don't you tell us a little about yourself ? »
W« Erm,sure,if that's what you want,what do you want to know ? »
« There…Isn't really much to say,I'm an apprentice detective that solved a lot of cases by chance since my uncle took me under his care,and I ruined someone's life by discovering the case of a man that killed someone that killed his entire family,that's pretty much it. »
« Don't say that,it's not like you did it to ruin his life,you know ? »
« I guess you're right… »
« Of course I am,you can never actually think like that,you will just destroy your self esteem. »
« I've been told that a lot of times already. »
« And the people who told you that are right about it. »
Shuichi sighed.
« Maybe. »
« I'm sure you have a lot to say about yourself,at least more than you just told us,but if you don't want to talk about it,well we understand,but you should at least try. »
« Talking is really not my thing,i'm sorry. »
« Do not be,there is nothing to apologize for. »
Shuichi was looking at the ground,and everyone else looked at different directions,the situation easily got awkward,and that continued for at least ten minutes while they were still eating,Makoto then broke the silence by saying he was going to go take a shower,since he didn't had any chances to do so since yesterday.
'Well,that was horribly embarrassing.'
Makoto took out his clothes and went in the bathroom,and then proceeded to take a long and refreshing shower.
MAKI'S POINT OF VIEW
« Why are those corpses still here ? »
Maki went in the cafeteria to get some coffee,and saw that Yasuhiro,Kaito and Tsumugi's bodies were still here,but she didn't knew why.
« Urgh,I will just come back later. »
« Psst,Maki,over here ! »
Maki heard someone whispering,and when she turned around,she saw no one else than the bodies,so she got in a fighting stance and slowly started to walk from where she heard the whispers.
« If someone is here,show yourself before I beat you up. »
« I'm sorry,I can't move because Monokuma will see me if I do so,but I have something to ask,is Kiyotaka gone from the academy ? Or did he got executed ? Because I know or plan failed. »
« He didn't die,but he got out of the academy,since Monokuma thought it was a better punishment. »
All of a sudden,Kaito's body went up and his face looked happy,but sad at the same time,and it just made Maki throw a chair at him,causing him to fall on the floor.
« Ow ! What was that for ?! »
« You scared me,and how are you alive ? »
« Yasuhiro is alive too,you know ? We worked with Kiyotaka to make Monokuma think five of us died,but me,Yasuhiro and Tsumugi are alive ! »
« Then get up,you two ! Right now ! »
As she said that,Yasuhiro got down of the table,and Tsumugi got up from the floor.
« So are Asahina and Kokichi alive ? »
« So the last one was Kokichi ? »
« Apparently,but the answer will be no and probably yes,Asahina is dead,because at first,well,Kiyotaka really started to kill people,but for Kokichi,well,I have no idea. »
« So you started to work with him only when Asahina got killed ? »
« Well,yeah,I kinda had to do a lot of convincing,he was way too much under pressure,so it took a while. »
« I'm sorry,Asahina,i'm so sorry ! »
« Kiyotaka ?! What's happening,buddy ?! What have you done ?! »
« K-Kaito ! Oh no,I'm so ashamed ! I have tomake you quiet since you saw,I'm so sorry,forgive me ! »
« Wow,wow ! Calm down,I'm sure we can talk about it,okay ? You have to put this knife down,and we will talk about this calmly,just relax. »
« I wish I could,but I have to do this,for everyone ! »
« What ? What do you have to do for us ? »
« I need to kill five people,and since you saw everything,then I have no other choice. »
« No,wait a minute,I can help you ! »
« No ! You will just tell everyone everything ! »
« I can assure you I won't,okay ? We just have to convince three more people to help,okay ? We just have to make sure that the mastermind doesn't see us in action,you know ? And then you will be able to do everything you have to do for us,are you with me ? »
« How can I know that you can have my trust ? Please,you can't make me regret what I've done,I wouldn't be able to take it. »
« I know,I know,me and three other people will just have to play dead,are you okay with that ? »
« Please just stop,I know it's not possible,how exactly can you play dead if I have to stab you ?! »
« Well just get a sword and blood pouches,and I'll show you ! »
« I…it will never work,you and I both know it,just please,stop it ! I don't want to feel more ashamed than I already am ! Please ! »
« Trust me ! It will work ! If you want to see it for yourself,then come with me,and we will test it ! »
« If it's the last thing I can do for everyone,then I will do it,but if it fails,then I will probably have to be the shameless person alive… »
« Just come with me at the information,we will take everything we need and test it on the laundry room. »
« Okay… »
They then went to the laundry room,took some bed sheets, and putting them on the floor after they took the blood pouches from the infirmary and two swords from Momokuma's store.
« Why did you make me take two swords with the knife I already had ? »
« Because you can't use the same weapon all the time ! You would get caught easily if you did so ! »
« Kaito,i'm sorry to ask,because I'm not anyone to talk about that,but,why do you look like you know so much about about murders and fake crimes ? Or even just faking death,how ? »
« Do I really look like I know so much ? Because it's the first time I even do something like that ! »
« … »
« Hmm ? Is there something else you wanted to ask me ? You look like you have a lot of things to ask ! »
« You just lied,I can feel it,you did things like this before,as a moral compassion,it's my duty to know,okay ? »
« I know,but I can swear you,it's the first time ever I do something like that,promised. »
« Alright,I believe you,are you ready ? »
« On my part,yes,but are you ? »
« I will never be,this is why I have to do it ! »
« Then go whenever you want ! »
« Okay… »
Kiyotaka then proceeded to stab the blood pouches that were under Kaito's shirt,and saw that the sword was able to be blocked by those,making it look like it went through Kaito's body.
« It…really is working… »
« I told you,now,haven't I ? »
« Yes you did… »
« Then now that we know it's working,let's go find three other people to help us ! »
« Okay. »
« And that's pretty much it,well,except for the fact that Kiyotaka said he would find another person after making up our fake crime scenes,and that's it. »
« I just have to warn you,though,I don't think Kokichi is alive,but if he is,he only survived,because Kiyotaka stabbed him right in front of us. »
« Oh,I see,well they must have faked it really good,then,I mean,Kokichi is a very good liar,after all ! »
« True. »
'Wait a minute,when did Kokichi ever lied when he was in the killing game ? I mean,sure,he told us some lies,but they were really bad,and he did it on purpose,but I don't remember anything about him telling huge lies and get away with it,Kaito Momota,you are hiding things from everyone,that even Monokuma didn't know,and even if he is the King of Lies,you can't believe it until you saw it.'
« Well where is he supposed to be,then ? »
« In the trash room. »
« Okay,then let's go ! »
The four of them ten went to the trash room,while Tsumugi complained about her back,since she was in an horrible position for more than three hours.
« Tsumugi,while we are going there,why did you stab Himiko ? »
« You did that ? »
« Yes,and i'm sorry,I…with the motives and everyone fighting amongst themselves,I just wanted to get out of here,no matter the cost,but now I know it was stupid,Makoto and Sakura found me and Himiko in front of the cafeteria while I stabbed her,Makoto told me to stay on the cafeteria,he came back once to make food for Himiko,and told me it was going to be okay,and right after that,Kaito came at me,and gave me the blood pouches,told me the plan,and I accepted,since I didn't have anything to do anymore,but while the investigations were starting,Kokichi puttednthis letter under my back,but I had to play dead,but I think he knew I was alive. »
« So it was him that messwd with the crime scenes,well I think I know why he was the last person to get killed. »
« You have an idea why ? »
« Just think about it,he mess with the evidences,Kiyotaka notice,he then confront him about it,he asked Kokichi for his help,he refused,a fight occurred,Kokichi got stabbed,Kiyotaka calls anyone near here to see the body,they enter the trash room and Kokichi is alive,so for the plan to work,he stabbed him in front of everyone,making him dead. »
« Wow,it's actually logical when you make it sound like that. »
« Well Maki seems like an incredibly smart girl,after all ! »
« If you say so. »
They then arrived at the trash room,to see Kokichi's body,and Maki checked his pulse,just to confirm he was really dead,and he didn't have a pulse anymore,which meant he was already in the other world.
« Well,not that it's surprising,but he is dead. »
« We kinda figured that out,but well,it's always better to try. »
« Fair point. »
« Well,what do we do now ? »
« We tell everyone you're alive. »
MUKURO'S POINT OF VIEW
« I wonder,when will Monokuma make another announcement ? Isn't there supposed to be a new floor each time a culprit is found ? »
« And you would be exactly right ! »
« Why are you here ? »
« Well you just talked about me,so I came ! And I will make an announcement in about one hour ! I just have something to take care of in the meantime,oh,and there will be more than just a floor that will be opened,upupu ! »
« What do you mean by that ? »
« You will see in an hour ! »
« Hey ! Get back here ! »
« Don't you usually want me to go away when I came by surprise ? »
« Just tell me what will happen and get out of here. »
« Well said like that,I surely don't think I will tell you anything,you meanie ! »
« Please don't act like a child and just tell me,please. »
« There is going to be a new building opened to all of you,you happy ? Can I go now ? »
« Wait,does that mean will we be able to see the outside world ? »
« Nope ! Not at all ! »
« Then how are we going to access a new building if we can't go to the outside world ? »
« And hallway,dumbass. »
« …I should have thought about it. »
« You totally should have ! Well then,i'm going back to my own business ! »
« Do so,I don't really care. »
« Well then bye ! »
« That was suspicious,but at least I will know more about it in an hour. »
Mukuro got up from her bed and went to the door,just to see that some mono coins were gathered on her desk,strangely,with a note saying :
« Three-hundred monocoins to have successfully survived Kiyotaka's massacre. »
« Like I need those. »
Mukuro just went out of the room to get some water,and saw something interesting,to say the least,she swore she saw Maki with Kaito,Yasuhiro and Tsumugi,who are supposed to be dead,go into the trash room,she then decided to go look after she drank something.
« Some water doesn't kill. »
When she got in the cafeteria,she saw she didn't dream about it,the three bodies disappeared,making her think those three faked their deaths for Kiyotaka to actually get us out.
« Well I think I know why Monokuma got only Kiyotaka out of the school now. »
Mukuro drinker her glass of water and went on her way to the trash room,and when she opened the door,she just had the surprised reactions of three people,Tsumugi,Kaito and Yasuhiro,because Maki wasn't shocked at all that someone saw them.
« Hi Mukuro,did you say us walking to the trash room ? »
« Pretty much,so you three are the reason why Kiyotaka got out of here instead of getting executed ? »
« Huh ? What are you talking about ? »
« Well Monokuma obviously knows about you three,I mean,Kiyotaka would be dead if he did actually kill you five,you know,but since he thought he could try to lie to him,he gave him an even worst punishment. »
« Do you mean that we did all that for nothing ? »
« I wouldn't say for nothing,at least he probably went to search for help in the outside world. »
« So we just did what we did for half the price ? »
« Precisely. »
« Wow,you sure aren't kind with words,now are you ? »
« I'm just straightforward,that's all. »
« That's one way to put it. »
« Well,shouldn't you be telling everyone you're alive right now ? »
« Well that's what we were going to do,actually. »
« Ask Makoto to make an announcement to go to the gym,he will help you. »
« Well I do have Shirokuma. »
« Then ask him. »
« Well okay,Shirokuma ! Are you here ? »
An all white Monokuma appeared in the room,looking shocked.
« Y-Yasuhiro ! Didn't you die ?! »
« We faked our deaths,actually,but that's not really the big deal,right now,could you make an announcement to tell everyone to gather in the gym ? »
« Of course I can do that,I do love to help people after all ! »
The white Monokuma disappeared,and they had to wait a little for him to actually begin his announcement.
« Hello everyone,my name is Shirokuma ! If you could please all gather to the gym,it would be really nice of you all,thank you ! »
« Well he sure does know how to not make me hate the face of Monokumas in general ! »
« Hi,i'm back ! Was I nice while asking it ? »
« You sure were,Shirokuma ! »
« Hehe ! Thank you ! »
Shirokuma then went off,like every Monokuma does,in a second.
« So,what are we still doing here ? Let's go to the gym. »
« Go ahead,I just have to go take something in my room. »
« Okay,don't be late. »
Mukuro then went off to her room to grab the files she found,but when she arrived,she saw that the files weren't on her desk anymore,instead,the desk had a practically full package,it was an enormous box with a little letter,with written on it :
« Sorry,but you can't actually show those,even if I knew someone would find that room eventually,but hey,at least I'm paying you with two-thousand monocoins in exchange,do what you want with those,good luck,soldier girl ! »
« I knew he saw me,damn it,I should have had those with me all the time. »
'Wait,did he say the one that I putted on the drawer ?'
Mukuro opened the first drawer and saw that he did,even if it was sad,she didn't have anything to tell the others now.
« Well,screw you,Monokuma. »
Mukuro thought she heard the bear laugh in the distance,but she didn't care,she just went on her way to the gym,and while she was goi'g on hier way,she thought about the files again.
'Maybe,just maybe,I should go back to the secret room to take some of the other files,then again,maybe he already emptied the room,I will check later.'
Mukuro entered the gym,seeing that there was everyone except for the injured ones and the trio that worked with Kiyotaka.
« So,is everyone here ? »
« You were the last one we were waiting for,that's all,so Maki,since you're the one to be on the position,I suppose you called us here ? »
« Not really,I didn't make the announcement,but someone else did order Shirokuma to do it,come on you three,you can come out. »
Everyone was confused at Maki's statement,everyone except for Mukuro,who knew who she was talking about,and then everyone made a shocked face,even the calmest ones.
« How the fuck are you three alive ?! »
« We played dead to make think Monokuma Kiyotaka actually killed five people when he only killed two. »
« Yeah,we kinda did that,and,well,it kinda not ended like we would have wanted. »
Kaito proceeded to tell everyone the full version of the story,even the part where Tsumugi stabbed Himiko,but everyone kind of understood,and forgave her,qnd everyone then gasped when Monokuma entered the room with a gatling gun.
« Well isn't that my favorite weapon we've got here ? »
« Why are you here ?! And with a gatling,of all things ! »
« Well because someone broke the rules,students ! »
« What ? Someone did ?! »
« Yup ! And this person broke the camera and monitor in the kitchen ! They know exactly who they are ! »
No one responded,there was just a complete silence.
« So ? Do you actually want me to say it for you ? »
« It was me…well shit. »
« Well isn't that amazing,Yasuhiro ? You just came back from death ! And now you're returning right to it ! »
« Wait,did you actually destroy them ? »
« Well,yeah,for the plan we had,so like that Monokuma couldn't see us getting killed,you know what I mean ? »
« You did all of that for everyone ? »
« Well,sure,but now i'm kinda gonna get killed,aren't I ? »
« You said it ! You're completely gonna die ! »
Monokuma aimed the gatling in the scene's direction,and started laughing.
« I'll tell you what,if you can actually survive one load of bullets from the gatlung,you'll live ! Do we have a deal ?! »
« It's not like I have any choice either way ! »
« Then let's get started,you rule breaker ! »
Everyone near Yasuhiro just ran off,and surprisingly,Yasuhiro jumped over Monokuma before he could even start shooting,and got out of here,so he turned around and started to shout.
« Get back here,weedy ! »
« Never ! »
Even with the gatling,Monokuma was still really fast,he busted the door open and run out.
« Well,that was something. »
YASUHIRO'S POINT OF VIEW
« You'll never take me alive ! »
« You're gonna get fucked ! »
Yasuhiro was running as fast as he could,still seeing Monokuma shooting practically everywhere to get him,surprisingly,Yasuhiro did a pretty good job at escaping Monokuma's fury.
« Damn,I didn't really think you could actually dodge that long,but you won't get away much longer,weedy ! »
« No,i'm good,thank you ! »
After at least ten minutes of running,Yasuhiro jumped in the pool,that was clearly a bad idea,but just when Monokuma wanted to shoot at him in the pool,he saw that the gatling didn't have anymore ammo.
« You have to be fricking kidding me. »
« I…actually…made it out…alive ! »
Yasuhiro was clearly out of breath,and Monokuma was pissed off,he then threw the gatling at the wall,completely cracking it,but it didn't break,for some reason.
« Just be glad you're alive,next time won't be so easy for you,weedy ! »
Monokuma just left him here,dumbfounded,and Yasuhiro had never been so proud of himself,after all,he just survived to Monokuma with a gatling chasing him everywhere in the school.
« How the heck did you actually manage to survive ? »
Kaito was the one that asked that,while everyone just came in the swimming pool,to see Yasuhiro alive.
« So,guess i'm traumatized for life,now. »
« Who wouldn't be after getting chased by a Monokuma with a gatling ? »
« Fair point,I guess. »
« Well,who wants to go eat something ? »
« We can't right now,guys. »
« Why is that,Mukuro ? »
« Because Monokuma is going to make an announcement soon,he told me that earlier. »
« Why would he tell you that ? »
« Well,I just thought about when he would do anything announcement,and since I said his name,he just came into my room and talked to me about it,apparently there's going to be more than just a new floor opened to us,there will be a new building as well. »
« I think Alterkuma told me about it,Alterkuma ! Can you come,please ? »
« What do you need,controller ? »
« Can you tell us more about the new building ? »
« I would normally,but Monokuma told us that we couldn't,since he will gather you in about twenty-five minutes. »
« Oh,okay,well at least we tried. »
« Well,I will now be going. »
« Wait,I have a question. »
« What is it,controller ? »
« Can a Monokuma go out of the school,into the outside world ? »
« Yes,we all can,we aren't bound to any place,after all. »
« I see. »
« Would that be all ? »
« Yes,thank you,Alterkuma. »
Alterkuma then went off.
« What was that question for ? »
« Well,i'd like to take him with me,in the outside world,he is really useful,so I wondered if they could go out the school,that's all. »
« That's pretty logical,at least. »
« Yeah,it sure is. »
Yasuhiro went out of the pool,and started walking off with everyone,and right after they all went out,Tenko just screamed.
« Now that all of this is done,Korekyio ! You're gonna pay ! »
« Hmm ? What did I do ? »
« Don't think I don't remember what you've tried to do to Himiko ! And for that,you will pay ! »
« So you want to fight me ? I must warn you,I am no pushover. »
« I am not impressed ! I fought worse than you before ! »
« Such splendid friendship for someone you met two days ago,I shall be honored to find such a pure women ! »
Korekyio was ready,and Tenko as well,and if that wasn't surprising,everyone started to cheer for Tenko,even if she could be horrible sometimes.
« Wreck him ! »
« Kick his ass ! »
« Why are they so dumb ? »
« Don't ask me,it's way out of my league. »
MAKOTO'S POINT OF VIEW
« You will not get away with this ! »
« You have been warned,come and meet your doom. »
Tenko started running toward Korekyio,who tried to tackle her,which failed,and she grabbed him by under his arms,pulled him over her,and threw him on the wall,but he got up like nothing happened.
« Kukuku ! You are not as strong as Sakura,I had a worst time when she threw me on the wall ! »
Korekyio then dashed at Tenko,and punched her on the stomach,which she stopped,and he tried to kick her on the leg,but she didn't even move when he did,even though it did hurt,she just didn't show it,and she kicked him right on the face,making,but he catched her leg,took it with his two hands,and started to spin around,and it just became faster,even while Tenko tried to get out of his grip,she know she couldn't,since she was spinning,and Korekiyo just stopped gripping her,making her fly across the room,but Sakura catched her before she could finished knocked out,and destroy her back for life.
« I did warn you,but at least you are a great fighter,you should be proud of your title,but since I won't,let me tell you why you lost,you are too predicable,if you won until now,it's because all of your opponents weren't smart or just because you were stronger,the proof is here,Makoto knocked you out easily yesterday just because you are too reckless,and I practically ruined your life by destroying the bones in your back,I knew someone would catch you,but next time,if you want to win,keep your calm and throw aside your anger for males. »
« Why,you degenerate ?! »
Korekiyo then went out of the room like nothing even happened.
« I'm not done with you yet ! »
« Yes you are. »
« What did you just say ?! »
« I said you were done with him for now,you're too reckless,you'll die before you will be the strongest at this rate. »
« Shut up,you degenerate ! You know nothing about me ! »
« Maybe that's true,but I do know something about your mindset,you are way too simple minded,you won't win against him like that. »
« I'm gonna be mad if you don't stop ! »
Makoto sighed,for him,Tenko was an idiot,she couldn't even stop hating a single men in a situation like that,and that's why she would never be as strong as most of the people that were in the same room.
« You can be,it won't change anything,i'm going back to my room. »
« … »
Makoto went out of the room,going back to his room to wait for Monokuma's announcement.
« Why am I even bothering to try to help her ? It's not like what Korekiyo said will affect her much,he is hated by practically everyone,and she hates me,so she won't try to take my little speech personally. »
DING DONG BING BONG !
« Hello everyone ! This is an official school announcement,all students are asked to gather in the gym,thank you ! Buh-bye ! »
The announcement ended.
« He tried to be funny,but it was understandable this time that he was way more serious than for anything until now,things will be worse for some of us than before,I can sense it. »
Makoto just went on his way to the gym,calmly,and when he entered,he saw her was the first arrived,he never arrived before anyone except when he had to make a kill.
« Now me being here first is new. »
« True,you're never here first most of the time,usually. »
« Yeah,I know that,so,since we didn't have some time for us,let's take some,except for the situation,how has been my little sister ? »
« Come on,you know I hate it when you call me like that,Makoto,but i've been fine so far,thank you for asking. »
« That's great,then,if you're fine them i'm fine too,hey,can I ask you something ? »
« You always can. »
« Thanks,I don't even know why I bother to try to help her since she hate me,but do you think I was too harsh on Tenko earlier ? »
« You weren't,don't worry about that,I just don't think she can hear the truth when it's thrown at her like this. »
« When you at it like that,it sounds like i've been way too harsh. »
« My point is,she should open more to people,especially to boys,because like that,she would see that most of them are good,I mean,of course some of them are assholes,that's a fact,but some girls are worst than just assholes,hell,maybe the mastermind is a girl ! We just can't know it right now. »
« It's true,like always,we can count on you,Maki. »
« Oh stop,i'm going to blush. »
« But I know you won't. »
« Precisely. »
Both of them started to lightly laugh,even if it wasn't much,it was still some happiness,and after they stopped laughing,people were coming in one by one,and once everyone was here,the bear appeared.
« Well looks like we have everyone ! So,ready to hear the news,fellas ? »
« Just get this over with. »
« Sheesh,no fun,anyways,as you already know,a new floor will open,as such as a new building ! That new building will be,of course,connected to an hallway I made myself,there will be a lot of new options when you will go there ! This building is about your talents,you will all have a research lab,in there,you will be able to work your talents,and,since some of you died,or aren't even here,you all currently have your own research lab. »
« Wait,what do you mean by some of us aren't here ? It means there is supposed to be more students ? »
« Well you were supposed to have upper classmates,you know ? But since I did this game,well they are not here ! »
« That clearly sound suspicious. »
« So,as I was saying,your research labs have some particularities,as you probably know,they are adapted to your talents,so if,for example,there was an Ultimate Mechanic,he would have all sorts of machines and stuff to build,get the idea ? »
« And for the Ultimate Lucky Student ? How does it work ? »
« Well it isn't really a common research lab,you might be the only one to share a research lab,actually,since you have luck and that's your talent,you will share a lab with miss Celes over here ! At least I think so. »
« Oh well,not like it bother me to be with a friend. »
« And for the Ultimate Martial Artist ? Wouldn't it mean she would share a lab with me,since we are both fighters ? »
« Well yours is more like a dojo,so yes,it would be like that,it's actually the same for any sports related talent,you will have a gym with more advanced options,like a tennis field,and it can transform in any kind of sports field,get my point ? »
« Why would you bring the tennis field first ? »
« I don't see what you mean at all,it was all a pure coincidence ! »
« Yeah,sure. »
« But anyway,there is more new things,the Monokuma shop has an upgrade,you can now buy your way out of here ! But I think you all know the cost already ! Twenty-thousand monocoins ! »
« How do you expect anyone to get out of here like that ? »
Haven't I told you already ? Every floor contains fourty-thousand monocoins,and there is one-hundred mono coins for all of you in your research labs,that's a little gift from me ! »
« How generous. »
« I know,right ? And there is new decorations in the shop as well ! »
« I think no one will get out of here at this rate,you know ? »
« Be more optimistic ! Now,here's the last news,in the shop,if you talk to the Monokuma that is guardian the shop,he can give you little missions for monocoins that aren't in the fourty-thousand of any floor ! »
« Like when Makoto made you a beefsteak ? »
« Exactly ! »
« Cool. »
« Oh,and by the way,I gave everything student three-hundred monocoins to have survived that last part,now enjoy,students ! »
« Wait,where's the hallway that goes to the new building ? »
« Oh right,I did forgot to tell you,it's on the first floor,actually,it's right behind me ! »
« What ? Where ? »
« Here ! »
Monokuma opened the curtain in the back,showing a large blue door,it looked like the elevator room door,but blue.
« And here ! You can now all go into your labs ! Even though I suggest you go sleep before,because it's night time ! I was lazy to make an announcement,that's all,well class,you're now dismissed ! »
« And here I thought life would have became harder for some of us. »
« Well you thought wrong,then,good night,students,I too,have to sleep. »
Monokuma then disappeared like he always does,and everyone told each other good night,and actually went to sleep.
« Well that's what I call a day off. »
Once Makoto arrived to his room,he jumped on his bed,and started to sleep,soon Kirumi came in as well and went to sleep,as Makoto slept for a good four hours,someone knocked on the door.
« Wha…Who would come at this hour ? »
Makoto opened the door,to see Tenko in front of his room.
« Why are you here when it's two a.m. ? You're going to wake up Kirumi. »
« Fight me. »
Makoto looked at her like she didn't understand anything he said yesterday,not surprised at all.
« Why would I do that ? »
« Because…I need to train. »
« Why don't you ask Sakura,then ? I thought you hated males. »
« I still do,but what you said and what Korekiyo made me see something,I am a fool. »
« About time you noticed,but only when it's day time,I won't fight you at two a.m. since I am way too tired for that. »
« I guess i'll have to wait,then. »
« Yeah,good night. »
« … »
Tenko didn't respond,but he still closed the door,after that,he couldn't sleep at all,so after two hours of doing nothing at all,he decided to take a bath,and he did,he stayed in for at least one hour,and when he got out to take clean clothes,he saw that Kirumi was awake.
« Sorry,did I wake you up ? »
« No,I simply had a hard time to sleep,and I see I am not the only one. »
« Indeed,a bath is always a good option when you can't sleep,it's refreshing. »
« It might be true,but I know something better. »
« Really ? What is it ? »
« A massage. »
« You really are the Ultimate Maid,that's for sure,but it's too early,you just woke up,so I won't make you do anything,just try to sleep again,and that will be all I ask if you. »
« If it's an order from my owner,then I will gladly accept. »
The two of them then went to bed,and tried to sleep again,which didn't happen in the end,so they just passed two hours of their life doing absolutely nothing until they heard the morning announcement.
DING DONG BING BONG !
« Hello everyone ! It's now seven a.m. ! As such,it's now day time,folks ! Go out and see the world,the beautiful sun and the birds,oh I forgot,you can't ! Oh well,just do something else,then. »
« Always kind,as I can see. »
« I don't think that bear will ever change. »
As the two of them got out,they went to the cafeteria to make breakfast,and while Makoto was eating,Tenko was already there to fight him.
« Just let me eat,you're too stressed about it. »
« But I don't have time to wait ! »
« Okay then,lesson one,if you don't learn how to be calmer and patient,you won't ever beat me nor Korekiyo,got it ? »
« But-»
« Got it ? »
« Fine. »
« Good. »
« What would all of that mean ? »
« Tenko came this morning at two a.m. because she wanted me to fight her,so I told her to wait untill I finished my toast. »
« I see,so you did leave a mark on her with your speech,as I can see. »
« It was more of a scolding than a speech. »
« That's pretty much true. »
« Oh,hi Celes,how are you ? »
« I did fine,Gonta is not really bothering at night,so it's okay,it's rare to find a gentleman like him these days,he has so much good manners that it would make my jaw drop. »
« Well wouldn't he make your perfect butler like you always wanted ? »
« He would,but he is too innocent for that. »
« Fair point,I guess,well,I finished my breakfast,I will just deliver those to Himiko and Chihiro and then we can train all we want,Tenko. »
« Finally. »
Makoto went to the infirmary to deliver some breakfast to the two injured of the school,who were still sleeping,and then returned to the cafeteria.
« We are going to my research lab,I visited it yesterday,and it will be perfect to fight ! »
« Is there supposed to be something i'm not aware of ? »
« Tenko asked Makoto to train,that is simply that. »
« I thought she hated males ? »
« And I still do,but he was just being a little right yesterday,that's all there is to it ! »
« That's not a great way to lie,now is it ? »
« Let's just go already ! »
« Alright,alright,just calm down. »
Tenko and Makoto then went to her research lab,where Makoto saw the building,it was an enormous building,where every research lab had a lot of space,each one would be gigantic,and there was multiple floors as well,surprisingly,her research lab was in the first floor,looking a dojo,and Makoto remembered there was one on the fifth floor,next to it was a giant casino,which would technically be his and Celes's research lab,since it is about luck and gambling,Makoto didn't even know how it could fit in that place,they then entered the dojo,where he saw a lot of practice dummies and punching bags,Tenko then putted herself into a fighting stance,waiting for Makoto.
« You really don't want to wast time,huh ? So,second lesson,try to touch me. »
« You shouldn't be taking me for nothing,male ! »
Makoto sighed,he knew she wouldn't touch him this time unless he would let her.
« I'm not,just know that,you won't touch me this time. »
« Hmph,you're too confident about it ! »
Tenko dashed at Makoto and tried to hit him with the palm of her hand,which he dodged,and she tried to kick him,he dodged,she then threw a fury of punches at him,and he still dodged it all,she became annoyed and tried to kick him several times in a row,and he dodged,after half an hour,she was still throwing punches after punches,kicks after kicks,he wasn't even sweating,and he dodged each attack Tenko would throw at him,so at some point he grabbed her by the arm,tackled her and began to pull her arm forcefully while making sure she would stay on the floor with his feet by pressing it on her back.
« Urgh ! »
« You won't ever beat me at this rate,it's cool to know how to fight,sure,it's even better if you mastered a lot of techniques and even created your own style of martial art,but it doesn't help if you don't have the right mindset with it. »
« Y-you're hurting me ! »
« Yes,i'm aware,you have to know how to not show that you're hurt to an enemy,and I thought that you did it pretty well yesterday when Korekiyo kicked you in the leg yesterday. »
« A-and how do you want me to not show it when you're tearing me apart ?! »
« Trust me,you wouldn't really want to test being teared apart. »
It made Tenko shut up,and at that instant,she became way more silent and calm.
« That's the end of the training for today. »
Makoto stopped pulling her arm and stopped to pin her down to the ground as well,letting her go.
« Urgh,you're really not a gentleman when it comes to fighting,like every male. »
« I warned you,we will begin again tomorrow,hope you will be ready,because it will get more intense every day. »
« I…get it. »
« Then see you. »
Makoto went on his way to the cafeteria again,and every person that was here were slightly surprised to see him without Tenko.
« Where's Tenko ? Wasn't she with you ? »
« I think she's still at the dojo,I didn't see here come out after I left. »
« Oh,okay. »
« Well,how did it went ? »
« She didn't touch me once,like I predicted,but she doesn't control herself when she fights,maybe if she didn't hate males she wouldn't lose to me so easily. »
« What does that have to do with anything ? »
« She don't control her emotions and don't focus,so she tries to bring down her enemy by force and force only,so she's sure to get doomed when she face a stronger opponent. »
« Why do you want to help her so much anyway ? »
« Well she's the one that asked me to train her. »
« Really ? »
« Yeah,this morning at two a.m. and I didn't sleep after that,isn't that lovely ? »
« Well why don't you just go sleep now ? »
« I can never sleep after a fight,makes me too violent for anyone that wakes me up. »
« I can agree on that part. »
« Why,you already saw him in a situation like this ? »
« He threw a knife at one of the assassins in our group,and he was way stronger,so he got wrecked right after it,it e actually fun to watch. »
« How can it be fun to watch ?! »
« Trust me,it's fun to watch,but only when you're not the one being attacked. »
« I kinda figured. »
« Well anyway,who wants to go finding monocoins with me ? It would be an occasion to visit the third floor as well,since apparently no one went there yet. »
« Hey,that's actually not a bad idea ! »
« Then what are we waiting for ? Let's go already ! »
At least everyone in the cafeteria,except for Miu,who seemed to be completely under the mood,and Kaito,who seemed to not be too good,started to went out on their way to search for monocoins.
« Hey Kaito,are you okay ? You seem a little pale to me. »
« Yeah,don't worry about it,just a little headache is all,it'll pass. »
« If you say so. »
When Makoto got out with everyone,he saw that Mukuro was talking to Monokuma.
« So you are buying this ? »
« Well,kinda,I don't think we will find twenty-thousand in the week,so yeah,i'm buying the upgrades with what you gave me. »
« Well if that's what you want,then,Monokumas ! Get to work on the soldier girl's room ! We have to make it the most perfect one along with weedy and ahoge boy's rooms ! »
« Alrighty boss ! »
« Oh,is Celes here ? »
« Yes,what do you want ? »
« Your room will be ready for tonight,we worked hard to get it done,so you should be thankful ! »
« It would only be your job as the headmaster of the academy to make sure your students have a good life here,don't you think ? I shouldn't be thankful for something that should have already be done a long time ago. »
« Touché,my dear,you know how to hurt my feelings,that's for sure. »
« Says the one who putted us in a killing game. »
« What makes you think I did that ? I don't see why you would feel like that. »
« This is getting annoying,can't we just go to the third floor already ? »
« I agree,let's get out of here. »
« You guys are no fun. »
« So are you. »
Everyone went to the third floor,there was Makoto,Maki,Mukuro,Celes,Tsumugi,Jill,who seemed to appear way more than before recently,Mondo,Gonta,who seemed happy to be with some friends,Angie,who was dancing while going toward the third floor with everyone else,Yasuhiro,who didn't want to be left alone since Monokuma traumatized him,Kirumi,since she was now following Makoto everywhere,Keebo,who seemed to be friends with a lot of people in the academy,if you could call that thing an academy,and Sayaka,who seemed to be way more quiet and sad since what happened to her because of Leon.
« Gyahahahahahaha ! I think I already found something ! »
« Really ? You sure ? »
« Well just watch and learn ! »
Jill kicked on the stairs,and opened a trapdoor,and found some monocoins,and just then,Monokuma appeared and shouted.
« GOAAAAAAAL ! »
« What the fuck was that for ?! »
« Well i'm happy someone found it,after all,this one was a huge money prize ! »
« How many coins did I get ?! One-thousand ! No,two-thousand ! »
« Well,you're close,actually,you just won two-thousand and nine-hundred monocoins,Jill ! »
« Wow,i'm rich ! Gyahahahaha ! »
« Nice one. »
« Hey Makoto ! I give all of them to you if you let me cut your ahoge ! »
« Don't even dare to try. »
« Well too bad,it's already down ! »
« What the… »
Makoto touched his hair,just to feel a space,but before that space,there was his ahoge,and he just looked at the floor,depressed,and felt on his knees,seeming defeated.
« Well at least you hair looks more cute now ! »
« You're dead. »
Makoto got up,and had a the scariest look he ever had,even Maki never saw him that furious before,even though she thought that was hilarious to see Makoto without his ahoge,she didn't know if she had to laugh or to run away.
« Well that's the spirit ! At least you can give me a good fight now ! »
POP !
Everyone looked at where the noise came from,and they saw that Makoto's ahoge grew back.
« Wait,what the fuck his happening ? How did that grew back ?! »
« Wow,even I am impressed,I didn't know ahoge boy could actually make his ahoge grow back. »
« How did my ahoge actually grew back ? »
« Don't ask us ! Like we'd actually know about it ! »
« That's way too spooky for me,that's not normal ! »
« Oh,Gonta knows what that was ! Gonta already had that too ! »
« Wait,this is something normal ? »
« Yes,it happens when you are in grow spurt,if hair is cut too quickly,but only a point of many hair,like ahoge,then it can grow back in instant ! »
« So that's something normal ? »
« Yes,Gonta discovered this because of insects,like flies,because flies have lots of hair,and Gonta saw that happening on one,and even to Gonta ! »
« Well that's pretty impressive,i've never heard of that before. »
« So that's what happened,huh ? So i'm having a grow spurt ? »
« Sounds like it. »
« Well you have a lot of knowledge,Gonta,you really are smart,well I guess you wouldn't be an Ultimate if you weren't. »
« Thank you,friend ! Gonta is happy to help ! »
« You're welcome. »
« Well,are we going ? »
« Of course we are ! We have to find the monocoins after all ! »
« Then let's get going. »
« Yeah,but before that,Jill,try and cut my ahoge one more time and i'll cut your tounge off. »
« If you say so,big mac ! Gyahahahahahaha ! »
« Why am I hearing that loud laugh every time i'm taking a walk ? »
Ryoma stood there,sighing because of Jill's laugh,he seemed exhausted,for some reason.
« Well if it isn't my friend tennis killer ! How you're doing,my boy ?! »
« Stop talking to me like we're friends,last time we saw each other you tried to kill me without even knowing who I was. »
« Not my fault you're cute ! »
« Are you saying that to every guy you kill ? »
« Yup,every time ! Gyahahahahaha ! »
« Well,to change subjects,do you want to walk with us to try to find some monocoins ? »
« Why would you want a serial killer with you ? »
« Come on,man,we have four assassins and Jill with us,don't ya think you're overreacting ? »
« I guess it's a fair point. »
« Then back to adventure,mates ! »
« Gonta is ready ! »
« You shouldn't respond,Gonta. »
DING DONG BING BONG !
The monitor suddenly turned on,surprising everyone,who weren't expecting Monokuma to make an announcement today.
« Hello students,please all gather to the gym,the new motive is out ! Even though it's not really one,since the motive didn't even want to be here. »
The monitor turned off again.
« Well,guess we will have to end it there. »
« Then it won't be today for me,but at least,let's see what this new student looks like. »
« Who said anything about a new student ? »
« He said the motive didn't want to be here,so I'm guessing it's someone,that would be why he said it isn't really a motive. »
« That's impressively accurate. »
« No,I just used common sense se,that's all. »
Ryoma went off after that,and everyone else did the same,when they went into the gym,Monokuma was bouncing around in circles,he seemed happy,as there was a weird cage with an enormous blue curtain was covering it on the middle of his circles.
« What is in there ? »
« Nothing more than the motive,of course ! »
« Did you bring another person in this ?! »
« Maaaaaaaaybe ! »
« You can't be serious. »
« Why would you do that ?! »
« Because I had a good idea ! I said it was a motive,but only I knew why it could be fun ! »
« Then hurry up and show us the motive ! »
« Nope ! We have to wait for everyone else ! »
« Why won't they hurry up ?! »
« Come on,give them some time,you should relax a little bit,it's not like the motive is going anywhere,you know ? »
« Do you know that you should probably kill yourself ? »
« You're not the first one to tell me that ! That's why I won't ! Because you want me to do it ! »
« So if I say I don't want you to kill yourself you would ? »
« I did say I did the contrary of what you actually want,but wellI don't actually think I will ! »
« Thought so. »
After ten minutes,everyone was here except for Tenko,Sakura,Kaito,and of course,Himiko and Chihiro,since they were still injured.
« Where the hell are they ?! »
« Should we go search for them ? »
« Nope ! I'll do it this time ! Monokumas ! Go find those three dumbasses ! They're late ! »
As soon as he said that,ten Monokuma appeared out of nowhere,and went to search for them,after at least twenty minutes,they came back with Sakura,Tenko,who they tied up because she didn't want to come,and Kaito,who didn't hear the announcement since he felt asleep.
« You made us wait for too long ! Next time,I won't be so forgiving ! »
« Let me go,you degenerate male ! I was training with Sakura ! And there's not even a monitor in the dojo ! How did you expect us to hear the announcement ?! »
« What are you talking about ? There is a camera and a monitor in the dojo,just learn to watch. »
« No there isn't ! »
« If there is,you'll have to run across the dojo for three hours without stopping ! Do you prefer that,or me saying the truth and you saying shit ?! »
« I won't let myself be defeated by a male ! »
« Guess you'll have to run,then. »
« So,can you finally show us the motive ? »
« I should be the one saying that ! You all made me wait ! »
« Didn't you say we had to be chill ? »
« I don't know what you're talking about ! »
« Just show us already ! »
« Okay,make a great wave of applause for our new motivation,Miaya Gekkogahara,the Ultimate Therapist ! »
Monokuma took out the blue tarp to reveal a teenager on a wheelchair,probably two or three years older than Makoto,she has blue hair and eyes,but a lighter blue than Sayaka's hair color,she was wearing a red scarf that was covering her mouth,she had a sliver headband,a brown coat with a basic black T-shirt underneath,she had black stockings and shoes,her wheelchair seemed really advanced,it was an enormous wheelchair,but it seemed that there was a screen attached to it,and for now,it was turned off.
« So you did bring someone else in all of this,huh ? And how is she the motive ? »
« Only I really know that,but like I said earlier,it's not really a motive either,I just thought it would be fun to make therapy sessions ! »
« Therapy sessions ? Why would you do that ? Didn't you said you didn't want us to have any hope ? »
« Upupu ! I told you ! I'm the only one to know the purpose ! Even she doesn't know about it ! »
« It wouldn't really take a genius to find out. »
« Oh really ? Then tell me why I bought her to make therapy sessions for ? »
« Well,first off,let her talk,we're only speaking about her but we didn't even let her say one word. »
« Well she's kinda passed out right now. »
« You do know her eyes are opened,right ? »
« Yup,I do,and she sleeps with her eyes open ! It's rare,i'll give you that,but still,she's passed out ! »
« That's impressive,actually. »
« I think I heard about her somewhere,the youngest therapist in the world,and the most efficient,too,she already helped more than one-hundred patients in three months,and even some of her patients were criminals,psychopaths,but she helped them get on the right way again,and they even went to the police to be arrested by themselves ! She's quite the therapist,that's for sure ! »
« She isn't the Ultimate Therapist for nothing,you know ? »
« Monokuma,can't you wake her up already ? »
« Wow,wow,she has to recover from the long trip ! She came from far away,after all ! »
« Who's fault is that ?! »
« Not me ! I swear ! »
« Yeah,yeah,you can say that all you want,it's not like it's true. »
« Fair point,so,tennis boy ! Mind to share your theory on what this is all about ? »
« You're still on that,oh well,not like I have anything better to do,anyway,you brought her here because you want everything each of us to do those therapy sessions,to that point,it's obvious to anyone,but when you think about it more,it's because you want one of us to snap against her,since she is a therapist,she might say something we don't want to hear,and it might make us in so much anger that we might kill her,and you expect it to happen after at least a week,so that everyone can tell her our most deepest things,even more than your dumb motive with the secrets,it was way too obvious,and after at least three days,no one cares about those anymore,well except for Korekiyo's secret,but that's all,we all made mistakes,and you want us to snap at her. »
« That would be pretty accurate if it was the only reason ! And for that,I have to say that you're quite the smart one,tennis boy ! So since i'm generous,I will give you one-hundred monocoins ! Aren't you happy ? »
« I don't need those,but I might as well keep them,they could come in handy. »
« You can't just refuse something like that after all ! »
« Isn't she waking up ? »
« Really ? »
As Mukuro said that,they all turned to the cage,to see that the therapist was stretching her arms,and soon,she noticed that some people were around around her,and that she was in a cage,so she quickly took her scarf and buried her face in it.
« She's shy but she's the Ultimate Therapist ? Monokuma,you're sure that you're not going crazy ? »
« Nope,she's only confident while she's doing her job ! »
« You really are a sick freak,does she even know what situation she's in because of you ? »
« I don't think she remembers,but I think I told her,yeah. »
Then,for an unknown reason,the girl began to type something on the back of the screen that's attached to the wheelchair,it seemed like it wasn't just a simple screen,but something to help her communicate,maybe she was just shy and didn't want to talk,or even worse,maybe she was shy but mute,too,maybe the problem was that she couldn't even talk.
« What is she typing ? »
Suddenly,the screen turned on,and a weird rabbit appeared on the screen,it was a cartoonish rabbit that looked like Sailor Moon,and she had a magic wand,and it began to speak with a really weird and little voice,but it was at least soft to hear.
« Hello everyone ! I don't think you know me yet,but can someone please explain to me what's going on ? »
The rabbit looked passive,not too stressed about anything.
« Oh,and also,why am I in a cage ?! »
The rabbit then started to sweat,looking like it was panicking,but since the rabbit looked cartoonish,it was panicking like in an anime,funnily.
« Well ask that to that bastard,he probably even erased your memory too. »
« Erased my memory ?! Kyaaa ! »
While the bunny was screaming,it didn't really screamed loudly,it was a soft scream.
« Well,Monokuma,how many years of her life did you erase ? »
« Let's see here,I think maybe four ? Yeah,that's it,four years ! »
« Four years of her whole life ?! It's even more than us ! »
« Well interrupt me if i'm wrong,but you took back everyon's memories to a certain point,and it looks like she might be two years older than me,but if you took me two years of my school life,and her four,does that mean she was a student here as well ? »
« You guessed it ! If I erased your memories,it's for a good reason ! And yes,I erased it to some point ! But that's for me to know why and for you to find out why ! »
« I guess it will practically be an eternity before we can go back to our normal life,then. »
« You got it,ahoge boy ! »
Makoto sighed,he didn't know why,but he thought that Miaya was relevant to all of this,he looked at Monokuma,still determined to find the truth about everything that was happening here,he knew that he was going to learn everything sooner or later,but he had to be patient,because it would still be a long way before reaching the truth,a very,very long way…
