Danganronpa Twilight of AutumnSprings Academy
Morning symphony of a moonlit night DEADLY LIFE Chapter 1
I was frozen in place….Could all of this truly had transpired throughout my rest, how ever long it may have been? No. No matter if I try rationalizing my turbulent emotions…Of all of the people that had to die…Why… Why…
"KOKORO!" I cried
Shortly after, Kazue who was beside me and Naomi who had barely awoken from her coma… joined me and the aloof Junko..Kazue screamed and punched the closest wall to her upon seeing Kokoro's dead body…Naomi…eye widened in terror
"YYoooo YOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSS!" Naomi almost had vomited over the crime scene… A faint trail of vibrant pink blood lead here…The art room…. Everyone else rushed in possibly hearing the commotion we all caused. Most of the reactions were similar
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK NONONO! Kokoro chan!" Yuri wept passionately tears sprinkling all over.
"Hibiki WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?"Hibiki shouted bewildered as hell"
"Oh my goodness…It is already happening…" sobbed Moe
"Moe…" Shiori said quietly looking over the maid who almost was on the verge of fainting herself..tilting and staggering.
"…..No…Miss Kokoro…" Hoshi said freaking out before being calmed by a patient Takuma who glared with hostility at everyone
"What an uncalming term of events….." Keiko sighed heartlessly with a hint of exhaustion and fatigue.
"UNCALMING!? THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!" Taichi said "I thought all of us would stay docile… Now it seems the duel has begun…."
"WARNING WARNING ALERT…. KOKORO UEDA DEACTIVATED… Life force percentage 0%... Chance of vengeance….45%. Murder probability 98%. Suicide probability 2%" Hikaru typed on her lap top speaker.
"WHAT THE BLOSSSOMING HELLFIRE IS THIS TRAGIC WILTING!?" Jurou raged "Oh" Jurou smiled "Its only the toxic detective…A death suiting for such pollutant!" Jurou joyously cheered in an aggressively and oddly cruel way. It was not as if he was emotionless..But emotional
"Shut the fuck up right now!" Kazue screeched like a monster, trying to uppercut Jurou for his cruelty, but before either of them could fight, Junko Caught Kazue's wrist and struck Jurou with her oversized wrench in her stomach both kneeling down. Her attention in spite of easily dealing with the Mechanic and the Timber Cutter… was not aimed at the two but rather the ultimate Elite who was the last of the students to arrive at the crime scene.
"You seem to be enjoying this…Kazuki Goda…"
"Enjoying spectating a flock of filthy plebeians and mutts fighting amongst themselves? Please I am disgusted… Although I never expected more of you inferior being nonetheless.." Kazuki coldly replied "And you idiotic fool failed to anticipate her death so meaningless would actually survive? Come now…Enough of these unsophisticated and artless discussion"
"Bon bon bon!"
Everyone shuddered into a forced silence as Monobunny appeared. It was as if he was a demon… "YAY! One of you ACTUALLY KILLED! Yahoo! Now we all can begin our bloody lovely life here!"
"One of US!? There is NO WAY in Hell" Kazue replied but was cut off by Monobunny who said in a bored, monotonr voicr
"Okay seriously, this is becoming cliché ! The whole 'Oh we would NEVER kill each other stuff' is trite and frankly I AM TIRED OF IT" Monobunny sighed and rubbed it's forehead as if stressed.. "Is it so difficult to embrace your sins and desire and call it fun? Whatever… Hey but hey I am LUCKY! Kokoro head talent was becoming a problem to everyone so…..Yeah -"
"She must've been a nuisance….Is that why… YOOOOUUU KILLLED HER!" Anger suddenly burst from within my soul….My aura was becoming vermillion as the flames of judgement… I lunged toward Monobunny.. How dare he kill Kokoro!
But as soon as I move not even a foot, Junko pulled out her over sized wrench, and just as she did with the other two, swiped me in my stomach…. I plummeted to the floor…
"Too noisy…." Junko said collected… and just then, a bell rang through out the room as if it was indeed judgement day. My stomach was still reeling from Junko's assault. I had a churring feeling other than my blunt force trauma induced nausea that there was nothing good coming from that sound of doom and lament.
Ding Ding Ding!
The Monitors turned on "A body has been discovered! After a certain amount of time the class trial will begin!"
"Oh YAYYYYYYY! So, how did you kiddos like the Body Discovery Announcement? It plays when three or more people finds a body…. Granted I prepared the announcement during your first day here just in case someone want to have some fun but no one wanted to play…Bum bummmmm. But NOW ITS PLAYING and a great display! Yay! Anyhow everyone make way for your investigations…But before that…"
Monobunny hopped next to me.. I surmise he is enjoying being in control…"Now, I know how painful it is to lose someone….and I am sorry that you cannot enjoy the amount of fun this is but….Be happy you have friends with you! Friends that would not let you use me as a punching bag before I dismember every part of you body except the vital parts..Hurl all of them in a paper shredder and have your grinded up alive and send to your family to eat as hamburgers! Yummy!"
"You are a monster" Moe spat, face turning nauseated at the words of monobunny!
"By the way, before anyone else proclaims me to be a monster…I have a PROMISE so we can be best buddies! Bon Bon! Now, with the exceptions when someone attacks me or when I have to punish the blackened, I promise that I will not kill anyone as I present to you…THE NEW RULES!"
"Rule 10: Monobunny will not directed aid or prevent murders! And Rule 11: The Body Discovery Announcement will only play when 3 of more people find the body! And AS A BONUS THE MONOBUNNY FILE!"
Monobunny handed all of us a black folder entiled the Monobunny file 1 with that Monobunny vanished.
Shuddering and trembling Yuri hides behind Kazue "So…..what now" Asked Hibiki in a timid tone…
"Obviously finding the culprit who killed that roach Kokoro…" Said haughtily Kazuki
No one was able to refute that fact. Just then… the words…INVESTIGATION MODE ACTIVATE appeared in front of me….My Vision…I was able to see clearly…My hearing… and Intuition…what is the meaning of this…. I cannot belive this..No.. even on top of this..my injuries… they too were cleansed and eliminated as if nothing happened, although my legs still felt weak from shock. Seeing me struggle to stand, Takuma lifted me up with a single hand and placed me down as I was standing... There is no more room for speculation. As much as I don't want to believe it… Someone betrayed us… That is, one of us students. One of us had murdered Kokoro. I looked inside the Monobunny file and read the
"The victim is Kokoro Ueda. The time of death was estimated around 5am. The victim seemed to have suffered from single injury on her head premortem. Evidence suggested that she may have been dragged from somewhere else.
"That's it? There is not even a cause of death listed…?" Moe said softly yet curiously..
"OHAHAHHAHAH!" bawled Taichi cheerfully "This battle of justice and righteousness shall be splendid! Journeying on quest to find the cause of death sword..to slay the mighty culprit dragon!"
"Oh my goodness what is wrong with non LGBT non fiction characters?" Shiori asked
"YOYOS!" Naomi said somehow magically regained her personality with an obsessions with yoyos…."
"Ex…ummm excuse…me…?" Approached, Hoshi holding what appeared to be a yoyo in his hand.. startling every one in the room…
"YOYO!?" Naomi shierked startlingly "Where did you find YoYo"
"I am sorry….but…Naomi….It..well…was….sor..sort…of in…"
"Speak my child" Takuma in a deep voice commanded sternly but gently to Hoshi who spoke
" I found the yoyo….Under… Ueda's leg. I saw a string near the couch next to the body. I was curious as to what it was…And then I found..this…"
"MY YOYO Number 324"
Everyone but myself was confounded by Naomi.. She, names her yoyos as if they are children. Although that is interesting and endearing, this maybe was not the correct time.. rather.. wait if Naomi names her yoyos… would that not mean she would have manufactured her own yoyos..?
A bright light flashed inside my pocket…Looking inside I discovered two shining orange bullets inscribed with the words "Naomi's Yoyos" and another with "Mono Bunny File 1" written…A bullet. The more I question my talent… The more I ponder if I should be admitted into a mental institution for these halucinations
"Then most likely scenario is that you Naomi killed the roach Kokoro…Congratulations. I shall let you polish my hair that was knit by the heavenly horizons before you fall in hell.. may your spectrum of ugly pass through the afterlife"
"Thanks Yoyos" Naomi perked up by Yuri quickly placed Naomi's hand down out of frustration for taking advantage of the tangerine hair girls….flightiness.
"Naomi didn't kill him!" Yuri said cheerfully defiant to Kazuki who merely rolled his eyes, not seeing her worth his time he left the art room annoyed…. "Y'know…" Hibiki thought "I guess ONE OF US the mighty and marvelous HIBIKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII will guard Kokoro…while you fools investigate-"
"Teamwork and loyalty are brilliant foundations of light…. holiness tainted by sloth will no be forgiven" Takuma said intimidating the poor Hibiki who enviously glanced at Hoshi but said no more. Takuma gathered Hoshi and Hibiki and told the others "We shall be investigating the cafeteria. Excuse us please" Bowed Takuma before carrying the two out of the room
"Wait!"
Takuma stopped and turned back "Yes?"
"We need to determine who will watch the body in case the culprit of this case tries to tamper with the evidence."
"Has it not already been decided Matsuyo is the culprit of this case?" questioned Keiko
"No." responded Junko "Until all of the evidence is accounted for, we must accentuate the fact if we get the results wrong, we shall die.!"
If it was not for Junko's inspiring words, Takuma might would have left albeit honorable. But seeing perhaps her conviction and moral purity/logic of the importance to investigating placed Hoshi and Hibiki down…. And sighed
"For I and Hibiki shall guard the body of the fallen Kokoro Ueda." Takuma bowed to Junko Hisagawa who brushed the left side of her hair aloofly.
Well there are a few things I could check here. One of those things is the status of Kokoro's body. Also I could try to get as many witness statements as possible from the night… I walked over to check Kokoro's body. Kokoro's body was weird to say the least…Her glasses were first off of her face, and cracked on one side, Kokoko hair was sort of messy as if she was struggling of some kind. Her hair tie of red was also missing. But when I searched around the room, I could not find any shards of glass. While checking things, but also a strange dried stain of black paint that smelled strong… After investigating Junko pokes me in the head.
"Weird don't you think?" said Junko randomly catching me somewhat off guard.
"What do you mean?"
"If she was indeed murdered here, I find it odd that not only there is not any murder weapon but also that there is not any shards of glass or even strains of hair." Junko replied "Unless if the evidence was cleaned…. But"
"Bu-but what if the murderer cleaned up the scene…?" I replied
"IN that case, I suggest you leave me alone if you are not going to understand" Junko impatiently shot at me…
Just then I collected a few more bullets (Lack of Evidence in Art Room), (Broken Glasses), (Messy Hair), and (Missing hair tie)
Now finished Junko decided to leave the art room but before I could follow her, Takuma approached me… Probably being cautious of everyone that is investing the body.
"Takuma san?"
"Young child blessed with the sight of the lord… My blessings and condolences however you need not be weak but strong and persevere in you will to live."
" That is all…?"
"No child… you need to be the one to ask question and discern thy own truth that is presented upon you by Christ."
Honestly, if I were to use my talent, I have a feeling that Takuma is trying to assist me by forcing me to ask questions…Perhaps he is thinking that you don't know what you don't ask… The only question that I really need to ask is mostly his alibi… I guess I can ask everyone's alibi later perhaps. But for now…
"Where were you yesterday?"
"I was in my dormitory. After witnessing another person's sin, I had to pray for omnipotence restraint… I was praying from 1pm to about 6.30 pmthe incident. Due to the incident… Hoshi was as well afraid. So after preparing to bring my bible, I went to his dorm room to comfort him around 7pm. However, as I was on my way to the dormitory… I saw Kokoro."
"What?"
"around 7pm I had seen Miss Kokoro listening to Kazue screaming at a door as if she was about to commit the sin of murder upon the door… Whether or not that is true has remained to be spoken however in fairness…as I bothered not to meddle in the affairs of ones…processing"
This is….peculiar….. Kokoro near Kazue and trying to destroy a door….Does that not seem familiar? I thought to myself as the "Takuma's Account" Bullet had manifested inside my pants pocket. Suddenly however I hear a shriek.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
Me along with everyone else in the room jerked around to at Moe who was shrieking as if someone was about to murder her even though it would seem nothing was wrong. The silver haired maid was breathing heavily and streaming tears of pure panic was unforeseen to anyone perhaps. Taichi who saw that everything was fine complained "Milady why are you cryin? Nothing is- Oaf!""
Before finishing his complaint, Shiori lazily uppercutted the knight, sending him flying and spinning until he hit the wall back first and then plopped down face down next to Kokoro's corpse. Takuma sighed "Children of man, its sinful to indulge in acts of violence acts that may disrupt the scene of sin which must be maintained…Yet this level of sin.."
"Sorry" Shirori said bowing to Takuma "Tai…..for a non fictional character who should know better than being rude to a lady, y'know?"
"Um… No worries, you needed not to knock Taichi San out….Dearest Shiori…We are all friends..you understand?"
"Yeah" Shiori replied "Hey Taichi please…"
But Taichi although breathing was still out cold…
"Ugh he is down! Good job lil sis!" Kazue praised to Shiori who ignored the remark but Yuri glanced at Taichi and put on her strange googles. I watched Yuri look at Taichi and then Shiori turned to Moe.
"Why did you freak out so suddenly Moe?"
"My dress! Its ruined…I tried to check the vent but my dress touched the wall and black paint had stained my dress…But I don't understand why?"
The wall was wet….was that true? If I am correct, wasn't the Academy cleaned up before the beginning of the killing game…If so, why would the wall be wet….? The truth bullet labeled "Wet Wall" was placed in pocket.
I walked towards Taichi who was still unconscious from Shiori's attack. Yuri was standing over him and I approached her.
"HI GAY VAMPIRE! OOOHHHH Guess WHAT!"
"Um…What is the matter?" I asked Yuri
"This paint reaks! And I wwaaannna know why! Wanna know? Wanna know why !?"
"Huh?" I asked having trouble catching up to her fast paced upbeat nature "Try to slow down Yuri.. Now what are you talking about?
"LOOOK or well smell"
I bent over and smelled the floor as well as Taichi who's back was wet with black paint… but the paint…smells funny…. I cannot discern what type of paint was but Yuri said "Well this paint is weird….Its…latex…normal wall paint from my vision googles…But latex paint should not stink like this"
That is true….I think…. As the bullet "Latex Paint Odor" Was placed in my pocket…I wanted to talk to Yuri and her Alibi "So Yuri.."
"This is too cruelllll…. Kokoro was really sweet ish…. I know she was scared and cranky but for her to be killed is like SOOOOOO MMMEAAN!" Yuri cried
"I know…but you can help…figure out who killed her….but may I please ask what happened to you yesterday after seeing the Video?"
"*Sniff* Yeah….I saw….Kazuzu! He is just unspeakably horrible… I ran out of the computer laboratory and went to the dining hall to grab some food… I left at around…2pm and went straight to my room to cry and barricade myself…"
I see, Yuri, as trusting and friendly she is…must have been distraught and wanted to hide with no intent of opening the door…."What…else?"
"After 5 hour, Kazue tried to destroy my door…which at that point I finally opened the door for her… Me and Kazue talked for a few hours up until night time… Then Kazue left my dorm and I went to sleep, until Kazue woke me up again and told me to go to the dining hall at 6.30am."
So Yuri was sleep…..? I guess this confirms Kazue's Alibi…. Inside my pocket the bullet labeled "Yuri's Account" Was placed in his pocket.
"Hey Hayate..?"
"Um…yes Yuri? What is the matter?"
"What happened to you? Kazue said that you woke up early on your own, right?"
"Correct…"
"What happened…"
Kokoro informed me to keep the plan of all of them escaping secret. As Kokoro is dead, perhaps I should keep the secret of escaping from the school…but I do not want Yuri to be frightened, so… I decided to tell her anyway.
"WAIT you and Koko were knocked out!?"
"I believe…so… I felt some odd vision….and sounds"
"Hmmm… Maybe you should ask Moe… She is an expert at cleaning, cooking, self defense, organizing, planning, so first aid, nursing and doctoring should not be a problem for her either"
Taking her advice… I walked up to Moe "Um Moe"
"Oh! Dear Hayate! I am terribly sorry about Kokoro's death! I was distraught"
"Um ?"
"Yes?"
"yesterday night, Kokoro came to my dorm room and wanted to meet up and strategize a way to free everyone from the school but while we were travelling I felt dizzy and confused…I fell down and was hearing and seeing things distortedly…as well as Kokoro being abducted…then I woke up in my bedroom."
"Well that is interesting… Perhaps…you may have been drugged?"
"Drugged?"
"Darling, I noticed that the medicine cabinet inside the Dojo was missing supplies earlier… specifically the muscle relaxers. Whoever had done this do you may have used the pills to drug you… Causing you and Kokoro to faint… but to also take you in the bed room was awfully awkward… Speaking of which, me and Shiori…Originally we stayed in my dormitory all night…a girl's night.. Shiori being the ultimate yaoi fangirl, thought it would be a good idea to go to the theater to watch some anime. At 5am we left to go to the theater. W e watched anime for about an hour before going to the dojo and practice super sentai fightning. I sprained my arm and tried to find some muscle relaxers to loosen up my joints yet I couldn't find any…"
This proves that maybe some drugging involved and as well their alibi. Slowly but surely things are coming together. Getting used to the truth bullets which new ones read "Moe's Account" and "Missing Muscle Relaxers" entered my pocket, I walked to Keiko who was painting.
"Um Keiko?"
"Hello Hayate Takenaka this investigation is quiet interesting even though one of us or all of us will die in the end" Keiko said politely
"Could you please come with me to the computer lab?"
"Most certainly even though I have already done an overlay sketch of the entire crime scene"
"You were…motivated to paint?" Naomi asked
"Ah indeed I suppose we can head along now, now come on…"
With her calm and yet aggressively controlling tone, Keiko left, forcing me and Naomi to go to the initial crime scene. The crime scene was overall slightly distorted in a way that was a result of Naomi leaving.
Keiko was holding her canvas and paint bus out… "Now, Naomi… As a digital artist, I want you to describe the crime scene, I assume you should at the least be capable of doing that much.."
"In the name of YoYos!"
"I presume that is a yes?"
"Wait please…" I interjected while Keiko raised an eyebrow with a gentle smile of impatience "Yes?"
"Naomi, why were you going to the computer lab?"
"Oh, because I wanted to play on the computer?"
"What time was that?"
"Hmmmm" Naomi hummed holding her chin deep in thought (For her at the least, it was deep in thought) "I think that was….4am…. then as I entered the lab…I felt a bang bang, yo…. Then…I went…to sleep…. After that yo, I woke up seeing you and Kazue."
"If she hit her head, then perhaps she was assaulted after me…. But still everything is so confusing… "Naomi's Account" bullet was then added to my repertoire of truth bullets. Knowing we would not have much time left until the class trial I checked the crime scene as Keiko demanded Naomi to give the description of the crime scene… I looked at the puddle of blood….but the pink blood…seemed to have a smell…similar to the stuff in the room… but upon closer inspection I saw some yoyos. They were the same orange yoyos..but unlike the other yoyo…there was no number on it… I gained the "nameless yoyo" bullet… I walked to the desktop that kokoro destroyed…. There was nothing out of the norm… except that there was a small red yarn thing covered in blood hidden inside the broken screen…but it reeked of an odor… "Mysterious red yarn scrunchie" was added…
"Hayate…My masterpiece is ready" Keiko said triumphantly…
I hurried to Keiko who was waiting patiently "About time, now hurry if you will…Time we are scarce on, if you will..
"The crime scene of Naomi….. where the Ultimate Digital Artist was…. She was slumped on the ground bloodied… in front of the monitor head projector which was obvious. Everything else was the same, however, there was a dented fire extinguisher on the floor…Which was odd…. We did not notice a fire extinguisher anywhere in the room… but perhaps, we missed it… The bullet labeled "Computer Room during Naomi's assault" appeared in my pocket.
"Also, if I may, I drew another sketch detailing Naomi's injuries. From what all of you described, Naomi was tried and crucified to the over head projector and both of her arms were tied too. Her wrists left rope burn and more over, its most likely she would have been unable to tie herself in that state."Keiko said handing me the drawing she titled Naomi's False Autopsy… until Mono bunny appeared
"Hey! You all reminded me! I forgot to hand out the Psuedo Monobunny file for Naomi!"
"But…Naomi was not killed, so I fail to understand what purpose you would have to writing a Monobunny file for Naomi." Keiko replied
"At any rate, I suppose that I will still give everyone this…now have fun!"cImmediately I gained the (Pseudo Monobunny File) truth bullet.
"Now, if you could please pardon me, I need to prepare for the class trial"
Keiko bowed before walking back to her dorm room. It seems that I already acquired a lot of these strange bullets…but before I could even worry where should I go, Junko appeared from behind me.
"Where the hell are you going? Anyway follow me" Junko ordered
Seriously, why cant Junko be somewhat normal for a change…? We left the Computer laboratory and then Junko took me to the most unlikely place that I would be in….
"Thw garbage room…?"
"Obviously…..Only an idiot would not be able to see the incinerator and 100's of trash vaults stacked stories high of eachother.. But enough of that…." Junko walked to one of the trash vaults and opened it with ease.
I looked inside the trash vault Junko opened… It reeked but not of trash….but aluminum heaps of buckets that smelled similar to the wall … But the scent was more fierce…more harsh and pungent. It was nothing like I have smelt before. Junko was unfazed however.
"That metal heap of junk was not here….yesterday… As I was on cleaning duty as punishment for nearly killing that damn bunny"
"Yep!" Monobunny said popping up from a dimensional hole from below the round
"Ugh WHAT is it?"
"I just wanted to help you guys out by saying…even if you had not tried to kill me, you would have been chosen for cleaning duty…. Also that incinerator has an eye detector on the lock meaning only the one on cleaning duty has access to the incinerator but any student could in theory open the trash compactor. The Dumpsters are cleaned out every day at 9pm before night time…"
Monobunny then vanished leaving a confused Hayate and a smirking Junko
"That stupid rabbit I will kill one of these days" Junko said angrily
"But we got some information on this-"
"Wait, Hayate. Look closer inside the Trash Vault one more time."
To my disapproval, I reopened the odorous trash vault.. And inside…. I saw… A red fire extinguisher that was dented and had a bloodstain… Because of the large mass of crushed buckets I did not notice it before"Is that the weapon…?"
"Well duh….. anyway…." As the "Incinerator", "Trash Vaults", "Fire Extinguisher" and "Aluminum bucket heaps" bullets were loaded inside my pocket… Monobunny appeared on the monitor
"HIIIIII Its time for the long awaited class trial YAY Bon Bon…. Now everyone please meet in front of the elevator in the main hall of the school please! Bon Bon! Please make sure you scan your E-Handbook in front of the Elevator…Bon Bon BOOOOOONNNNNNS!"
After what felt like months of procrastination and anxiety….Now its time for m to face Kokoro's death and her murderer.. I can not and refuse to believe one of my friends killed another of our friends… but the harsh truth as Kokoro would have said would be
"You cannot trust anyone! One cant rule out the possibility that humans would not resist murder, otherwise I would not be dead!"
I jumped back startled by the amount of realism existed in my mind when I was reflecting on Kokoro… But Junko then struck me in the stomach with her iron cast fist.. and grabbed me by the collar."Kokoro Ueda is dead and you are going to use your intelligence to solve this case."
Junko looked at me straight in the eyes, serious and not even being whimsical or playful
"But I am not-"
"Want me to wrench slap you?" Junko threatened "I will be damned if I share any of my knowledge with you! Knowledge must be gained with hard work and skill not so easy luck. Besides im too bored to baby feed you answers. So again, I will ask you… Would you rather be wrench slapped and not be able to face your internal bullshit
"No…."
"Then we shall be off."
Hesitantly we left and walked to the main hall…. We saw a door to the elevator… On that door was titled…The Chamber of Dawnshade and Dusklight…. Junko was the first, she idly swiped her handbook in front of the elevator, then I followed suit. The elevator slowly opened up…a lustrous blinding light shimmered through the crevasse of the opening door… It grew brighter and brighter…until swiftly dimmed down…and we saw the other students…looking at Naomi who was looking downcast and fearful, swinging her yoyo, frantically trying to find some optimism in this despairing situation… Yuri, Shiori, Moe and Hoshi were around her worried. Takuma stood by the four and gave the tangerine haired girl a look of sympathy… Taichi, Kazue were just as concerned but overall, neutral. Jurou, Keiko, Hikaru, Kazuki, Hibiki gave various antagonistic looks…
"Mr….Hayate…." Hoshi began before fixing up his glasses "Please don't be late….. youre friend…Ms…Kokoro….died…you should….be well…to…be here…"
"Hoshi, I am sorry… I was just investigating…and found"
"Silence foolish mortals" Kazuki said smoothly "For this trial shall be swift as the godspeed elegance of my illustrious dangling hair…For justice shall be meted!" Kazuki said entering th
"For the last time YOYOS I AM NOT THE CULPRIT YO!" bellowed in an uncharacteristic tone…Naomi
"Alright SHUT IT UP OR IM GONNA KNOCK YA DOWN!" Kazue said…
"But…yoyo…Kazueyo?"
"Indeed we shalt face the trial first before seeing if she is guilty or not" Taichi agreed
"Yeah… who eva killed Kokoro I WILL EXECUTE YA!" Kazue threatened before the elevator moved down and down.. We waited for what seemed like hours until we reached the bottom.
Inside were 16 podium desk arranged in a circle…but the one in my right was…a picture of Kokoro…her face was X out with a question mark and an ink pen…. The wall paper was a beautiful moonlit sky with sparkling stars… and the tiles were countless 8x8 white tile squares.
"YAY! You are all here!..." Monobunny said who sat on a red throne.
"Question Prompt: Kokoro death frame sign… Life source zero… DNA SCAN 100% Match Kokoro Ueda"
"Oh, that?" Monobunny chirped up "It would be said if Kokoro could not be in this class trial due to death…So…I recreated a Frame sign of Kokoro using her blood to make the X's… That is also how these death frames will work when someone dies….
Kazue vomited upon hearing this prompting Yuri to assist her. Satisfied as if nothing was happening Monobunny continued "Moving on…Please go to your assigned seats so we can start this fun game!"
Everyone moved to the seats that had their names on the respective desk. Kokoro Ueda…. The Ultimate Journalist Reporter. She was melancholic, a bit cautious, reserved but brilliant person…Because of these hate videos….someone murdered her… Now it is time… to find the friend who hurt her… so mysteriously and why did they attack me and Naomi and went far to frame Naomi…?
Now…it begins…..
The Sun that promises despair
The Moon that lies with a false hope
To meet
And shine in this magical hour as one at this
Deadly class trial
