Danganronp The Twilight of Autumn Springs Academy Chapter 4: Star Crossed Lovers in Reversed DAILY LIFE
Day 12 ?
I finally awoken… From my terrible dream… but… where am I? Who am I…what am I….?
"Hayate, get up"
"Huh..?"
"Damn it Hayate! Get the fuck up or big sis will shock cha up!" Kazue scowled
"wha..wahhhhh!" I cried
I jumped off the bed… but I was not sure where I am at… until I realized after calming down.. This was the infirmary… My head was bandaged from Junko's attack… But I could not forget the images permanently etched in my mind… Hoshi's body cut up and staked in the shape of a cross, Takuma's body suspended by guitar wires, ear drum and his entire internal structure crushed by ultra sound waves, and Jurou's body being reduced to paper money with the scent of his blood and reindeer semen permeating the atmosphere…. I felt so sick that I was going to vomit… quickly I break down to tear but immediately Kazue punched me straight across my face
"Shut the hell up ya dunce!" Growled the Ultimate Motorcycle Mechanic, her flaming mauvish red hair raised and triggering flames emitting from her aura ready to tear me apart
"You tryinna die so badly all because of this bull shit!? Do ya think it was easy for me? To watch all my friends my little fucking siblings killin eachother!? Kokoro tried to kill Nayo, Keiko killed Kokoro outta revenge, Moe killed Hibiki out of fear and locked Hoshi in a closet in an anxiety fueled state of envy, Jurou even manipulated Hoshi to kill Takuma and brutally murdered Hoshi once his god damn purpose was served… Monobunny keeps making up these forsaken motives to murder one another and damn it to hell, it is fucking working! Now you the ultimate paranormal investigator wants to give UP!?"
"MY ACTIONS KEEP KILLING PEOPLE! Predicting who died and being utterly helpless to suave them down the right path and having to choose the killer which leads them to their own untimely death! You do not know what its like! People thinking that you're a freak when all you want is love….!"
BANG!
Will all her might, Kazue punched me tumbling out of the infirmary bed… Kazue's sharp shark eyes flowed with tears… For once in my life I see Kazue's face show something other than glee or anger, sadness…
"You don't know shit you empathetic know it all! You don't know anything you good for nothing weakling! What its like for ME!"
"Kazue…"
"D'you think I was always the queen of bad-asses!? B'fore that, I was a little sister. A sister that no one, and I mean no one gave two shits about! My family cared only for my golden and silver sparkling trophies of older sisters! One day I was kidnapped by a motorcycle gang and forced to become their mechanic… me being actually smart I had to take care of those idiots so they could take care of me! And then five years later, the police finally rescued me during me mothering one of the newer members…I went home, expecting my dad and mom and sisters to realize that I am safe, only ta know that My sisters died. One became a druggie in high school, tried to fit in and overdosed on heroine and the other one was depressed with me being kidnapped and other sister dying that she hung herself… Which left ME to take care of MY OWN DAMN PARENTS…!"
"All you wanted was to help to be loved…similar to me….?"
"No shit! And unlike you at least you needed nobody to be strong…I needed…." If not I was imagining things, for a second, I swore I saw a faint tear drop glimmer and fall down from her eye,
Suddenly, I felt my e-planner update… And at that point I realized…. It was…12.30pm…
"Oh yeah… you were knocked out all day… Everyone else went to scour the fourth floor"
"The fourth floor!?" Ah yes that was right. Every time that a class trial was cleared, another section of the school opens up. I cannot help but wonder what was upstairs
Kazue then forced me out and we walked to the dinning hall to wait for the others to return… With the loss of Takuma, order was lost and Jurou…. I could not stand by I sit here… I walked to their door rooms, facing Takuma's first
"Takuma...Those words you said to me about my sin...I finally realize it was my pride.. that pride which blinded me into thinking I could sacrifice my life to end everything for the sake of my friends.. was selfish... and foolish. If only you were alive..."
"Hoshi... you tried to meet the resolution in a moral manner, only for you to be brutally killed for a violent and corrupt reasoning"
"Jurou... You manipulated Hoshi to kill Takuma and then murdered Hoshi. What polluted your hear so much to where you betrayed your own rhapsodic belief in purity?"
After mourning over their death I reluctantly walked to the dining hall where everyone would be waiting for me. I dont know what everyone's reaction will be from seeing me especially considering the fact that I almost committed suicide in front of everyone. But back then.. what was that...? I remember seeing everyone that had died... but not only that... Jurou's actions... After the class trial his entire personality changed and the way he was speaking, referring to us by our last name doesnt make much if any sense. It was as if he.. knew us before this killing... Maybe he...was not a traitor but... why did I see that..? These E-Planner Abilities, and then something about Omega.
"AIIIYYEEHHHHhhh!"
That was...that scream... SHIORI!? Oh my no...has another murdered occured that quick.. Hastily I ran to the dining hall my legs died
Shiori was on the ground covered in scars and wounds.. bleeding heavily "You bastard!" Shiori scowled heavily at the equally panting Monobunny. Everyone was so focused on Monobunny who was far more serious than he ever was
"Unfun you foolsih girl! whats the meaning of this unruly behavior you! I demand amn explaination!
"Two words: FUCK YOU. I will avenge Hayate right now.! Its your fault that Hayate tried to kill himself! I will not let this go forgiven. Today you WILL die!"
"Bun buns... ULTIMATE DESPAIR EXPULSION MODEE... ACTIVATE THE raining lances of the iridscence au vior!"
Shiori look up confused, above were 7 spears of light...each a color of the rainbow... and all about to pin cushion Shiori.. and then... I screamed
"NOOOO!"
"Hayate?" Shiori gasped taken off guard... gave the spears chance to strike... It was too late... because of me... SHiori was going to die. We all closed our eyes tightly unable to bear what was to become... Shiori's mangled and dead body...
"NO!"
"Idiot!"
"WAHHHH"
"..."
shielding Shiori from what would have been her coup de grace finale, someone shielded Shiori of every blow... and managed to hurl one lance approximately less than 1cm away from touching Monobunny who was in rather complete shock. That person's identity was... The one who is known as a great hero.. but fallen, yet breathing heavily.. Taichi Washichi
"You fool... crazed rash green lassie!" Taichi murmured heavily rasping somewhat desperately for breath
" What the hell were you thinking Taichi!?" Screamed Shiori
"You need to cool your ardent blood... for tis is nothing but the pleasure of endless battles... one cannot battle eternally if they are dead!" Taichi answered weakily as then he pointed at me
"Hay..ate... the sadness beholding Shiori is the same misery we would have felt had you done what I have died... No...now... Ugh"
Taichi had collasped... Kazue screamed horrrified and felt his pulse
"Damn it he is barely breathing!"
"Oh dear!" Monobunny cried in panic "Now that was most um...unexpected"
Naomi cried "Please we have to do something otherwise he will die!" Naomi hurried out her purse and unpacked her yoyos. In insane speed she knitted the yarn of her yoyos and transformed them into a sort of make shift gauze
"I think...i think he will be good as new yo,.. but!"
"Oh my..." Yuri said slowly and tried to create an iv but then he said
"Monobunny I hereby order you to heal Taichi Washichi!"
I looked at Kazuki astonished and amazed "Are you insane!? How can you order him around as such!" I said with an unimaginable look of disbelief
"I agree" Hikaru spoke "As the Mother CPU, you are allowed to vaccinate rebelling programs, however you cant attack an innnocent!"
"HUH!?" Monobunny responded vaguely " are you sure bun funs? This is the most fun I have had... but..."
"Remeber the rules? Of course you do Mono imbecile" Junko assailed not really caring for hearing Monobunny;s response "Now what you will do, is heal Taichi. You failed to kill Shiori and instead killed Taichi which would be a complete violation You are not permitted to murder any students except for those who violate the rules. This means you cannot punish Taichi for Shiori's sins. By proxy, this means since that sole attack was for Shiori, you cannot attack her again as Taichi was given her punishement meaning you have to save Taichi's life otherwise if he dies, then you would be considered the blackened and the killing game would be as good as null and void." Junko finished irking Monobunny with how unfathombly smart that Junko is
Mononbunny was quiet for a moment and finally " SIGH, I guess that you have a point..." Monobunny admitted unable to think of an excuse or reason to refute her claims "As a reward for your bravely I shall...repair the meat shield.. meanwhile Shiori as punishment...I hereby prevent you from becoming the blackened otherwise I will punish you... Also while we are all chummy and buddy-buddy, here is the next motive: The traitor will be obligated to commit a murder."
Everyone broke in a confused outrage "HUH!?"
"So far, since arriving the traitor was to commit a murder if a stalemate happened between 72 hours but now I am directly requiring it! Bun bun buns! Otherwise their closest friend will detonate within 72 from now!"
"What do you mean by detonate!?" Yuri asked timidly and cautiously until I synced my eyes to hers seeing she have despairingly foretold it
"No...no way that you could have done so..." Yuri softly shivered a whimper
"Yes" Monobunny said gravely "While all of you were sleeping I had the pleasure to remodify your E-Planners, ALL OF THEM to detonate upon my calling! Of course only the traitor must commit murder. whoever that is not the killer and Shiori dares to kill anyone, then they shall be punished to smithereens! Boom boom boooommmm"
"Thats nonsensical!" exclaimed Naomi "You are going to kill all of us!? Even though one of us yos may be the traitor and you are their bro yos you are really going to kill every single last one of us for stopping them yo!?
"Nonsense NO!" Monobunny replied sounding offended and a little exasperated at Naomi as if she was continuously repeating the same question, "Of course only those who violate the rules will... However the catch for this is... if the non traitors manage to discover the identity of the traitor then the bomb installed within their respective E-Planner will be defused and must kill the traitor within 5 minutes of outing them... Now... have fun!"
Monobunny transformed into a octo fairy and drew a wand..After dancing like a moonlight magical girl spaghetti style he kissed Taichi on the lips and instantly as if nothing happened was completely restored back to normal... although before he left, Monobunny pulled out the green lance that nearly killed Monobunny, yanked Taichi to his face once he was conscious and pointed the lance at his thorat but yelled loud enough to where everyone could hear it
"BUT IF ANOTHER STUNT LIKE THAT SHIT HAPPENS AGAIN I WILL KILL BOTH BLACKENED AND PROTECTORS PARTIES NO QUESTIONS ASKED!" Monobunny bellowed one last time before warping away
"Taichi..." Shiori sniffled
but then everyones eyes were on me... Well I cant say I blame them. After all I DID try to commit suicide...
"Um hey guys?" I said, bracing myself for their harsh criticisms
"Its okay guys..." Kazue said before Taichi and Shiori were about to attack. I just noticed thata rainbow bloodstained chain bracelet was around her left wrist. " I made sure that he learned his lesson, big sis style"
"How on earth can you say that its okay!?" Yuri asked "Hayate what the heck were you thinking you masochist!?"
"MASOCHIST!?" In Yuri's defense, she already had to witness the death of three friends, gets framed by both Shiori and Jurou, and experienced heightened anxiety along with her happy facade that is starting to malfunction.
"I cannot even explain why did I attempt to kill myself to be honest.."
"Maybe you're trying to drop our guards and make us believe that you would not kill anyone by commiting suicide... While shocked perhaps you wanted to foolishly ambush us!" Kazuki sspeculated to me
"No that is not true!" How can I get them to understand that I am not crazy especially compared to them.. "You have tried to kill quite a few of us on many occasions KAZUKI! How can YOU of all people criticize me!? Let alone ACCUSE!"
"Instead of bickering about Hayate's suicide attempt I think we all first need to go over something actually important." Commanded Junko
"There hardly is anything upstairs save for a weaponry storage room, a chemstry room, two classrooms, a technology room, an actual weight room unlike the dojo on the the first floor, and the gates leading up to the 5th floor blocked off." Yuri said trying to ignore Kazuki's ramblings by polishing her googles and typing something on her E-Planner
The fourth floor at the least from the perspective of the others and the explaination given by Kazuki seems more technical and advanced almost as if a war college. Yuri mummed quietly to herself smiling and chatting with Naomi while Kazue and Shiori were stunned at Taichi's immediate recovery. I turned around and then without warning Junko whispered in my ear in a hushed and softly sharp tone.
"Come with me, now."
Junko and me left the anothers. I followed Junko straight to her room.
I sat and listened to Junko lecture me on quantum physics and her theories about the killing game...I felt as if I began to understand and feel closer to her
"What the hell am I!?" Junko yelled in anger, picking up the closest chair in her vicinity and throwing it at the front door
"Maybe you should consider NOT throwing chairs to soothe your impulsive fury"
"Excuse ME!?" asked Junko raising an eye brow in belligerence.
"I do not know whom you may be but if there is one thing thatI can say you are is very, outspoken"
"Of course I am outspoken. You cannot get anything accomplished by being quiet and wimpy. For example how you hesistate when speaking with me or fail to to speak up agianst my superior intellect, or try and correct me when you think that I am wrong. You always cower before my mind when you could easily do the same. Its quite pathetic really."
"Is that the reason why you dragged me to your room? was it to mock me? If so, forgive me but I am leaving..."
"Sit the fuck right down" Junko commanded "I did not just call you in my room to simply educate you. Rather I want to discuss the zone you saw"
"The zone...how"
"You have been hearing things lately... Like Omega... Jurou's year comment..and even the black space that you woke up to"
"Hold up, how do you know all of this? Are you the-"
"If I was the traitor or mastermind why would I wipe MY OWN DAMN MEMORIES OF MY PAST AND TALENT!?" Junko replied
"Thats true" I could not imagine that the traitor's memory would be wiped and that the mastermind, would make themselves forget about their motives towards the killling game
"To answer your question. because after I knocked some sense to you, you were mumbling in your sleep. The names of those you died and smiled and then said black space"
"I believe that... from what I understand so far there is more to this place... As if we are in this place...for the end...my memory and jurou memory something about it must be the same. I suppose that is alson why Kokoro watched the motive videos to remember something however there is no way of figuring all of this out now so... class dismissed"
Junko swing her oversized wrench at me and knocked me out of her dorm room.
At this point as waking up from unconsciousness I notice that I was in my dorm room. Most likely this was Junko's doing. Of all of the student, Junko is the one that I understand the least.. But how was I
Day 13 time 7AM
"Punctual arrival Hayate Takenaka"
Of all the students that I could run into in the dinning hall, it was the obnoxiously energetic but heroic Taichi.
"Oh come on, Tai... Are you really serious about this?" Shiori said exasperatingly
"Come on.. whats with the lack of confidence in my strategic thinking?"
"Your inspiration is outdated, archaic and foolish. Is there any other reason?"
"What are all of you talking about?" I asked
A sweatdrop of embarassment appeared next to Taichi's left eye brow. Eye bouncing from Shiori who more or less gave a reluctant but approving nod, back to me, whatever zany idea Taichi had planned would be no less ridiculous than Shiori's antics...
"IT IS TIME FOR THE BALL OF EULOGY!"
"The ball of what?" A rush of pity spread through my eyes towards the Ultimate Knight. A Ball of Eulogy? It sounds like one of those fancy parties that mystical fortune tellers go to. But Eulogy it sounds, depressing.
"Hayate stop this nonsense before its too late otherwise we will never get anywhere"
"Its a ball of romance and beauty..." bemoaned Taichi. "After the great wars of the four elemental generals...there were many tragedies... For those souls.. was the Ball of Eulogy a Ball to express the sorrow and love of those who died in combat and wanton murders. A peace party for the survivors! A FEAST WHERE NO BLOOD WINE GETS INGESTED! JUST THE RUSH of passion"
"Taichi, I do not mean to be rude... but are you sure that these are the right actions to take?" I asked. I know that Taichi means well, but having another party to stop another murder.. that is the same thing that practically caused Hibiki's death and Shiori's identity as the SHSL Ultimate Gangster being revealed. It was the main reason why Hoshi, Takuma, and everyone else started to distrust one another...
"Yeah, hate ta break it to ya, Taichi YOU ArE AN IDIOT!" With furiousity steaming from her face, Kazue yelled like a volcanic locomotive
"What do you mean, lassie!?" questioned Taichi,
"What she mean is that youre facade is meaningless"
I turned around hastily at Kazuki, the cold and vain speaker of this manipulative prose. Taichi raised his right eye brow. Kazuki seeing that his baited words were heard made an unmistakably sadistic smile. It was as if he was taking pleasure upon being in this twisted and messed up conflict.
"I mean, your meager intelligence should remember what happened... How you were upstaged by that girl haired miscreant and elbowed unconscious...by her..."
"You are *yawn* suggesting WHAT exactly?" Threateningly asked Shiori raising her voice
"This Ball of Knight is nothing more that a persona to leave Shiori unguarded and more easy to target... Just like how Moe killed the pathetic, reprehensible and irreverent Hibiki"
As if a match was lit...the pigment in Taichi's eyes, dulled down...before with out warning as if they exploded into a blast of flames. Instantly Taichi moved his left hand to grab his sword and snapped
"Provoking me with blasphemy... Unforgivable...unforgivable... I WILL NOT FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS transgression YOU BASTARD! INSULTING THE DEAD... GO TO HELL AND JOIN YOUR SATANIC ORIGINS!"
Taichi got up from his seat and tackled Kazuki to the ground. Pinning him to the floor with his muscular legs, Taichi ferociously slugged him across the face relentlessly.
"Son-of-a-bitch-as-traitor! Do-not-ever-dare-accuse-me-of-MURDER!"
"STOP! Taichi! Killing Kazuki is not worth your life!" I yelled. Surely it was because of my concern for Taichi but there was also another emotion that I needed to reveal. Taichi stopped for a moment. Reluctantly Taichi complied but Kazuki recovered and gave the most blithe expression on his coldhearted and cruel face but that wa going to dissipate.
"How can you even say anything Kazuki! Since the class trial you have been nothing but evil! And you even redeemed yourself prior to the deaths of Hoshi and Takuma!
"And now the suicidal puppet dares make his rebuttal, a pity!"
That arrogant bastard! who does he think he is!? Why is it he always wants to boast his loathing vanity!? But I could not have time to reflect on this
"That does it! I hate you!" Yuri was about to sprint towards Kazuki raising her right hand balling it into fist... but Junko and Hikaru held her down... Yuri was in surprise
"Hey! what please let me go and brutalize that monstrosity!"
"Negative. Hostile Virus must not be tampered with. Virus quality: contagious."
"Are you that STUPID YURI!?"
Kazue and Taichi then glared heavily at Kazuki and so did I
"Hey what da hell is with ya!?" Kazue questioned
"Since Moe went to heaven and before Hoshiyo and Kuma and Jurou psycho went to heaven you were normal!"
"HAHAHHAA Naomi! go to the and grab the blackest of berries from the garden... by your return all shall be resolved...
"Okay YO!"
"What your eyes witnesssed was nothing more than an act... a performance of heroism..
"NO that is wrong!" I shouted
"Pardon?" Kazuki asked curiously
"After Moe's executions, I was able to read your aura...and the way your aura looked, was more genuine that any emotion that I read from you!"
Kazuki was taken aback, frustrated
"Also if you truthfully did not have concern you would not have even made a remark when I was about to pull the trigger!"
"Shut up...shut...UP... SHUT...up SHUT UP!"
Kazuki face writhe wildly lashed out in rage pulling out his knife and dashed towards me
Taichi then roared "ENOUGH!"
Befoe his attack connected with mine, a poisonous knife ejected from the ground...nearly killing Kazuki who froze in shock
"Gwahahahahha! I told you! NO ONE IS GOING TO DISOBEY MY ORDERLY CHAOS ANNYMORE! I installed trapped through out the academy last NIGHT! and I have control over everything... My battlemaster skills shall no longer be deterred...
"Are you deranged why on earth would you go this far!?" Shiori cired
"Shut up SHIO! SORRY LASS BUT TOO MANY PEOPLE DIED! Had Takuma had not been so passive about his dominace perhaps he would not have been killed! SO NOW ITS MY TIME TO SHINE!
"This is nuts! Oh..my...goodness" Yuri sobbed face etched with horror...
Everyone..no...everyone seems to be terrfied. With all of us bewildered at Taichi's sudden stressful seriousness... We sort of all left and scattered away but not before Taichi drew his blade at me
"Hayate.. As for you... Kazue may not have had opportunity to survey upstairs, but you are hereby forbidden to trek upon the fourth floor!"
"HUH!?"
"Your attempted suicide was proof enough how little you can be trusted. And I dont want you to die so Kazue will be forced to keep a close eye on you and insure you will not travel upstairs...Right Kazue!"
I turned around and here was Kazue drinking a can of Oil Brand Coffee Soda Energy Drink...
Forced to turn away I left...
I attempted to hang out with Kazuki who was in the library... After which he told me more of himself... He was born for greatness and his talents were all powerful. Despite the supremacy he exerted there was something about him that exposed a hint of loneliness within his soul.
"Huh? Hayate!? What are you doing here?"
"What do you mean? I was coming by to see if you wanted to hang out?"
"Oh really? Well it seems like you are trying to kill me so I think I will decline! Bye gay vampire!"
Yuri slammed the door closed... denying me entree
After a while, we all returned to the dinning hall. Taichi had sent Shiori to summon all of us to the dinning hall for some sort of preparations for this Quart Ball of the Suits... I managed to make it to the dining hall roughly before the rest, which was why I noticed something particularly strange. Banners of the four suits hanged on the ceiling and every table was lined up into one long dinning table and here were nine chairs, for all of us. and in the middle was one large wine glass filled with a blackberry wine hue, bubbling suspiciously. and around were seven candles.. Each one representing a student who died here...
As if the dinning hall itself was set in a autumn summer's blaze, a rush of scarlet arduous flaming aura inflamed the hall. Emitting from the passion that Taichi put into this event. Whether it be enthusiasm or just dedication was unknown.. In fact many variable of the fire element were put into play so I cant discern...Although I wish that Taichi was not so headstrong and authoritative about all of this..
As if a trumpet blew signalling a dictator's call, Taichi came bursting in the dinning hall, sulking head downs and hands tied behind their backs in submission were the hands of everyone except Naomi who was randomly wearing a navy captain's hat and uniform, Shiori who walked to Taichi's right giving him a perpetual death glare and partly an indifferent nonverbal body attitude.. Aside from those everyone including Junko were tied down.. Taichi smirked
"Well if its not Takenaka! HA I cannot say that I am not proud you came willing! Excellent!"
"Skip the fact that you had Naomi use titanium threaded yoyos to bound everyone else..." Shiori snidely annexed to Taichi's statement
"Hikaru why the hell would you even subjugate yourself to such bondage!?" Junko asked
"How did you get dragged into this!?" I asked incredulously
"Naomi caught all of us off guard" Junko complained "I swear to God Naomi, when I get out of this I am going to almost KILL you!"
Naomi smiled mischievously" Sorry yo but said that Monobunny threatened to kill me if I didnt obey.."
Yuri's and Hayate's eyes widened in disbelief "I cant believe you! Why would you lie to her!?"
"I would not have been tied up had that masochist not electrocuted me!" Kazuki complained pointing his fingers at her
"The tighter the constriction, the elevation of the elation levels" Hikaru said
Taichi eyes darkened "Shut the fuck up!" Taichi cursed no sooner that Shiori swiftly put a knife to Taichi's throat
"TAI YOU"RE GOING TO FAR. I DONT WANT TO KILL YOU..So don't make me-"
Taichi crushed Shiori's knife while also cutting up his left hand's palm
"Taichi's none of this is like you so why are you behaving this way!?" I scolded to him but Taichi lightly jabbed me in the stomach, causing me to regurgitate small amounts of my gastric acids.
"Do not question my AUTHORITY. NOW WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY, I ACTIVATE THE SECURITY LASERS!"
Security inferred lethal lasers beamed through the door of the diining hall... With a maddening look of dominance and excitement blended together... Taichi expressed his ultimate dictatorial leadership.. "NO ONE IS LEAVING THIS HALL OTHER WISE IT WOULD MEAN THEY ARE THE TRAITOR OR NEXT CULPRIT! RIGHT!? IM NOT STUPID! I HAVE HAD A LIFE AS A CHILD SOLDIER SO I KNOW WHEN SOMETHING IS UP!" Taichi facial expression was...tyrannical yet heroic
"Sorry guys but this is the only way that I can prevent any harm to come from anyone!"
"ARE YOU ERRORED INTELLECTUALLY?!" Hikaru snarled "Even if you succeed in stopping the culprit SOMEONE WILL DIE FROM THE MOTIVE OF OBLIGATION!" Hikaru explained loudly..
"Well enough of that, now everyone," As if he was fast as lightning he cut the ropes tying the other with his blade "Lets begin the festivities" Taichi smiled blithely...at the rest of us... Even for me..and my awkward visions, this is more weird and creepy than a movie between a serial killing demon and a Hockey Psycho both embedded with the will of a cursed puppet..
We all took our seats which mostly resembled how we are placed during the class trials.
Taichi then nodded "Now we shall begin the opening ceremony of the event! Each of us shall drink the wine of bloodshed.. This is to respect the spirits of the dead caught up in the sinful gore..I shall be the first to drink this.."
At that moment we watched as Taichi took a drink from his wine glass... And immediately he
"Hee hee hee!" Chirped Taichi gigggling cheerfully "Ahhhh so sweet and blisssfulllll yummie..."
"What da hell Taichi!? Whats with the giggling and unpredictable emotions!?" Kazue scowled
"Um I think he has gone coco.."
Junko eyes instantly widen
and I...Shiori yelled "TTTTAAAIIICHHHI!"
Taichi then started coughly and chuckling "Ha...heehhhh...wha...this...blissfully...sweet and toxic...flavor...Venom...Nighshade...?" Taichi feebly pulled a remote control out from his pockets and pressed a button before turning off the security lasers..then fell flat on the table...
Shiori ran to his side and checked his pulse "He's still breathing... NAOMI YOU BITCH!"
Hikaru pointed at Naomi "What berries did you use!?"
Kazuki broke into a warped laughter... "What a stupid way of assassination! Either way serves him right to dare and trap me!" Kazuki said leaving the dining hall
"KAZUKI!" I tried to call for him only the sound of the dinning hall door slamming was heard
I looked at Taichi "He does not seem to be dead...what happened?"
"Someone must have poisoned him Naomi!" Shiori called out toward Naomi
"Wait, you have it all wrong, I didn't-I could not poison him!" Naomi protested
"Guys CAN IT! THE MORE WE BICKER THE MORE WE ARE LETTING HIM DIE!" Kazue yelled
Junko sighed "I guess I will have to retrieve the antidote from the infirmary and I will then go to that idiot's room...but before I do that
SLAP!
"Ouch!" cried Naomi
"The next time that you disarm my cognition, will be the last" With her ominous words hanging down our spines...Junko left while Shiori carried Taichi to his room and and then the night time announcement played and all of us went to our dorm and went to sleep
Day 14 7AM
"Good Morning! Bun bunss! Its Now 7AM and night time is officially over and now its time to have a bun fun day! Bon BONNNNNSSSSSS"
Ugh what a disaster... Can I ever get some rest without having to endure pathologically traumatic night sweats? I went to the Dinning Hall
I went inside and I was greeted by everyone except for Taichi
"Good morning Shiori"
Shiori looked calm and said "Morning..."
"How is Taichi"
"Well thanks to Junko and a bit of my exp in antidotes via from using poisons to kill many corrupt politicians, I would say Tai will be fine... He woke up briefly and told me to carry on proceedings as normal,,, although I gotta say he is insane for installing weaponry everywhere"
"Such is the consequence of condoning the only powerful presence to live..." Kazuki replied earning the hateful glance of Naomi who was pouting
"Anyhow, due to the chaos yesterday, I BAN NAOMI FROM TOUCHING THE FOOD~!" Yuri said cheerfully
Naomi looked as jarred as I did "WHAT!?"
"YOU TRIED TO KILL TAICHI BECAUSE HE WAS EASILY ABLE TO DECEIVE YOU!" accused the ultimate Inventor
"Then who is gonna cook!?" I asked
Yuri smiled uncannily at me with her eyes squinted in happiness "Hayate!"
"Hayate, make me a hamburger from the sandwich stand please? I havent ate all night..." Shiori yawned
"Of course" All in Shiori did seem more languid than normal and if she was indeed watching and nursing Taichi then it would come to reason that she needed to be nursed a bit. I went to the sandwich counter in the far end of the dining hall, made a hamburder and since she loves america, I also made her some french fries, with seasalt and peppercorn. Feeling pleased with and hopeful that my creation at least uplift her I gave it to Shiori
Kazue then stretched out her arms with nothing on them as if ready to cook "Well dont leave all the work to Hayate! Let your cool big sis take care of things..."
"Fiiiinnnee~ I GUESS you can help meanwhile.." Yuri takes a look at the strawberry short cake and sinks her teeth in "ITS BLOOD SUCKING TIMMEEEE"
"I cant believe that I am even dragging myself out here" scoffs Junko while Kazuki smirked evilly like always "Watching you fools kill yourselves looks amusing so I may as well watch-"
My eyes turned red in disgust and soon I blacked out for a brief moment and then the next thing that I notice, I punched Kazuki in the jaw...
"You are a sick soul Kazuki... Its pitiful that you find this stuff hilarious!"
"Is that so..." Rather than try a strike back...Kazuki simply muttered something to himself.. Junko and Hikaru just watched while Shiori was too busy eating with Shiori.. and Kazue was in the kitchen cooking a storm... After Shiori finished her meal..
"Compliments to the chef but... Ahhhh I gotta go check on Taichi...So catch cha later dude..." Shiori bowed and left the dinning hall
"I dont know why she is so obssessed with Taichi if she is a lesbian..." Yuri said so carefree and blissfully aloof, "Its only the despair of never being able to leave or trust anyone that hurts us..."
"Hey Yuri, look..I am really sorry..about yesterday..?"
"Look Hayate, I think that you're sorry but the problem is that I cannot be certain that you are sorry... I mean if you can prove to me then maybe"
"How can I even prove to you anything if you are kinda being a little too distrustful..although I suppose you have a valid reason"
"Omgomgomg.. Sorry Vampire I have to go pee!"
Yuri flees to the restroom
Junko goes and picks up a drink and since I am here I might as well go and hang out with someone here..
"Hey Junko"
"Ugh what the hell do you want you overemotional masochist?"
"Would you like to hang out?"
"what ever I suppose its not like we can leave the dinning hall anyway... So what is it?"
"Well last time you said that you were trying to discover your talent"
"Oh thats right! With everyone's annoying topics I could hardly think though I have to shamefully admit..."
"Admit...? Admit...what?"
"THESE IDIOTS ARE STIMULATING MY BRAIN CELL!? She said rather excitably than her usual aggression. How is it that trying to sift through these idiotic theories cross examining the theories and comparing them with physical evidence be so enthralling!?"
"You say that as if its a bad thing...Although for someone so closed off..."
"Assumed that I would be an introverted mangled mess such as you? My family had forced me to be bold and outspoken even if its to mannipulate others.. Of course being a extrovert doesnt mean that I love to talk. I like external stimuli but detest the idiocy I am surrounded with but I guess some things are worse than death But... whatever.."
After communicating we noticed at so far it has been a couple of hours since Shiori and Yuri left...
"Its quite too tranquil with the absence of that annoying little gnat buzzing about..."
"Yeah come to think about it Shiori was only leaving to check on Taichi and Yuri was supposed to have went to the bathroom. Why is it that they are still gone?" I asked
The light suddenly went out
"WHAHAHAHAWHAT!?" Hikaru screamed
"The lights are off HOW!?" Junko yelled
"Hold it Imma go check!" Kazue said extremely loud
"HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAAAAA!
Laughter broke out from somewhere far away...and that laughter...was high pitched but I could not discern the source
"Actually Hayate..." Kazuki said softly "Perhaps it would be wise for you to go upstairs to the fourth floor...
"Why me?" Hayate asked
"As in that laughter was too far to come from the second floor and the fourth floor is the only floor you havent frequent...
Junko I felt slapped me across my head and then I said
"Yes!"
I busted through the dinning hall doors.. and I had to feel the walls to traverse and navigate... I remember something...Usually when something murderous happens I usually have a vision..But when I snapped and attacked Kazuki... I blacked out for a brief second...and what if the black out and murder is related OH NO! I ran hastily up to the stair wells making sure to hold on to the rails
I walked upstairs to the second and then the third and then I managed to get upstairs...From above I could hear..
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?" It sounded like... Shiori? I ran strongly then I heard some strange noises and then silence...and finally I made it up stairs... and I felt the walls until I felt a cold iron door open... and heard foots steps.. I felt the despair rushing in my heart... this was definately not the last...but still
A flash of light blinded me... The lights turned onnn... but what was illuminated was better obscured in oblivion
Blood leaked everywhere... Weapons scattered through out the room.. I was not paying attention... But their body at least was intact...But sitting in a throne... A sword was plunged in their chest...their throats shot...but what scared me the most was their face...mouth wide open and smilling in a ironic victory if this was a victory it was a dubious one for the least likely person to be killed or be killer... Taichi Washichi
I heard running...and then I heard a voice shattering in defeat
"Man..no...no...this cant be happening bro...no not you... not you not you please wake the fuck up this shit is not funny TAICHHHHIIIIIII!" Shiori shoved me aside and hugged his corpse...she was covered in his blood. Pulling out a knife she slit her wrist and said
"I SWEAR I WILL GET MY REVENGE! HAYATE MOTHER FUCKING TAKENAKA!"
"Ding dong Bing bong A body has been discovered! After a certain amount of time from Investigation the class trial shall begin!"
