And another Danganronpa character makes an appearance...

Well then, read on and enjoy!


Ch. 40: Purinsuchāmingu no bāsudēbasshu part 4

Tokyo, Japan.

The scene shows that the idol group are scrambling in a fit as they are unable to reach Maizono by phone, and when they checked her home, there was nobody there, and the manager became worried that she may have been kidnapped and held for ransom, and the four idol members are talking with their manager and offered their input on where Maizono would be, as it is unlike her to leave without a trace, and that there are no ransom notes or demand are left behind.

"We haven't found her, manager."

"We searched everywhere…"

"Even hope's peak Academy said they have no idea."

"Not even her classmates have a clue.."

"Darn…what is Sayaka up to?"

"This is bad…"

"Really."

"No choice…better call the police…"

As the manager attempted to call the police to report a missing person case, Ayaka suddenly recalled what Maizono did before, such as sneaking inside the airport and attempted to smuggle herself to Novoselic, and there Satomi told Ayaka not to make a joke like that, which Ayaka said what if this turn out to be the scenario, as Maizono has done this before, and the manager stared in disbelief having recalled what happened.

He then told the idol group to head for the airport and inform the immigration officials about this so that Maizono can be found and would be stopped from her attempt to hijack herself a trip to Novoselic, which the idol girls nodded.

"Okay."

"We got it."

"We're on it."

"We'll head off to the airport."

"Good. Let me know if there are any developments"

"Sure."

"Got it."

"We're off."

Inside the royal palace, the scene shows that the Prime Minister is contemplating on making his move to humiliate Naegi and have him arrested for supposedly gatecrashing at a royal event, King Nevermind arrived and greeted the visitors and then greeted the rival prince, wishing him a happy birthday, which Charming nodded and thanked the king for the greeting and for accepting the invitation to attend the party, and the king said that it is okay, as it is his duty to attend to this kind of occasion.

As Sonia went to greet her father, Naegi glanced round, and decided to leave the scene as he felt that the chancellor and the Prime Minister are cooking up a scheme so that they have an excuse to pick on him, and as the Luckster is about to take his leave, the chancellor confronted him and asked him where is he going, in which Naegi said he is heading back to the guest room to stay put, which the chancellor rebuked him and said he will not let the boy do as he pleases and vowed to have him arrested.

Naegi glared and asked the chancellor what is his problem and why is he always picking on him, and the chancellor insinuated that he is looking for the proper moment to start his propaganda and said he will not let Naegi make an escape, but as Naegi ignored the chancellor and moved past him, the chancellor grabbed the boy by his hoodie and pulled him back, and this triggered a confrontation.

"Hey!"

"You are not going anywhere!"

"What's your problem?"

"You are a threat to Novoselic! I'll see to it that you are arrested!"

"For what? Do I look like a terrorist to you?"

"Hah! You just admitted it!"

"You're the craziest guy I ever met!"

"What? How dare you!"

The Prime Minister saw this and took advantage, asking the chancellor what is going on, and the chancellor made it appear that he saw Naegi moving suspiciously and suggested that he be detained for questioning, which the Prime Minister agreed and is motioning for the guards to have Naegi arrested, but King Nevermind stopped them and told the two to cease this foolishness and ordered them to stop harassing the boy.

The chancellor reiterated that Naegi is plotting something that might threaten the security of the party, but Hagakure came to Naegi's defense and tells the king that the chancellor is harassing Naegi and that he did nothing wrong that could cause a disturbance.

The Swedish Ambassador then came to Naegi's defense and told the king that he should send the chancellor and the Prime Minister packing, saying that those two are constantly harassing Naegi for such shallow reasons, and the King whispered to the two in a threatening tone, warning them if they cause an unjustifiable scene, they will regret it for the rest of their lives.

"You two listen carefully."

"…"

"…"

"Do not force my hand. You will leave that boy alone."

"…"

"…"

"Cause another scene like that, you will be stripped of your position. Got that?"

"…"

"…"

However, a slight tension erupted when the lights suddenly went out, which the reception room is plunged into darkness and the guests were a bit alarmed yet the king assured everyone that everything is okay, promising to restore the lights.

This puts the guests at ease as Sonia assured that they have nothing to be worried about.

"It's okay. Everything will be fine."

"Really?"

""That's good to hear.

"I'm a little worried…"

"The lights will be restored soon."

"Okay."

"I'm waiting."

"Huh?"

Suddenly, a sound of a guitar playing a tune can be heard, and the guests wondered where the sounds came from, and the lights slowly lit and the lights were restored, and everyone was surprised to see something unexpected. It was a bear, wearing a tanktop shirt, jeans, a scarf, wearing a shoulder-length wig with fake beard, sitting on a stool and is holding a guitar.

The bear is cosplaying as WWE wrestler Elias, and the bear began playing a simple tune, which the melody is stress-relieving and the guests were awed at seeing a bear playing a guitar and wearing clothes, which makes the bear look like a journeyman traveling from one place to another.

"Look at that…"

"A bear…"

"A cosplaying bear…"

"He's good with the guitar…"

"What a talent…"

"This should be interesting…"

"Yeah…like what happened at the royal ball…"

"This is going to be enjoyable…"

The bear then changed the tune of the guitar and played a song that is akin to a spaghetti era that features cowboys and the wild west era. The guests were amused to see that the bear have such a talent and they all put their attention towards the bear.

The bear just stared blankly in a stoic manner and is just playing the guitar, until the Mexican Ambassador asked "Elias" if he could play a Mexican music, but the bear stared blankly and the guests wondered if the bear got offended, until the bear began playing a tune that is akin to the soundtrack of Zorro, and the music is so lively that the guests began dancing, feeling like they are teenagers again.

Naegi stared in surprise as he did not expect this to happen yet he is relieved that the bear is just playing the guitar and hoped this would put the attention away from him, and is ready to leave when the chancellor confronted Naegi and demanded to know if he brought the bear here on purpose just to carry out his intention to take over the throne.

"Alright, you brat. What kind of plot are you…?"

"What now…?"

"You brought that bear here…and intend to use him to take over the throne…"

"And how? He is just one bear…only with a guitar…and you call that invading the palace…?"

"…"

"I'm not involved here…and that is that."

"You…"

"Just accept it."

Naegi told the chancellor the truth that he is not behind this yet the chancellor did not take the boy's word for it, and he confronted "Elias" and slapped him on the face, disrupting the bear's guitar performance and the chancellor began demanding to the bear to stop this foolish act and leave the palace. His actions however, earned the ire of the guests and told the chancellor to leave, saying that he is ruining the party's mood, much to the chancellor's disbelief.

He reiterated that the bear is part of Naegi's plan to invade the palace but he is told off by the guests that he is just jealous because Naegi gets the most attention.

"You're the invader!"

"Yeah! You're ruining the party!"

"You're just jealous because Naegi is a better person that you!"

"I'm betting you're envious of that bear!"

"At least that bear is a better performer than you!"

"You get lost!"

"And don't come back!"

"You old bastard!"

"Elias" attempted to play the guitar again but is slapped by the chancellor, and he berated the bear for being a nuisance to the party and called the guards to throw the bear out, but as the bear attempted to play the guitar again, the chancellor slapped the bear once more, and Naegi is pissed at the chancellor's cruelty and he confronted him, telling him to leave the bear alone as the bear did not do anything to disrupt the party.

As Naegi and the chancellor are arguing, "Elias" gets off the stool and raises the wooden guitar, getting ready to smash it on the chancellor's head. Charming discreetly approached the two and appeared to play the role of a pacifier and tells the two to calm down and that there is a way to settle this without fighting.

The chancellor is surprised that Charming appeared to be getting soft towards the boy and asked the prince why is he doing this, but the prince discreetly saw the bear is ready to strike, and just as the bear swings the guitar, Charming pulls the chancellor away and the bear accidentally hits Naegi on the head with the wooden guitar, which the guitar was wrecked and remained on Naegi's head, and the Luckster stood still for a moment before staggering backwards and sat on the floor, dazed.

There the rival royal PR proclaimed that Charming SAVED A LIFE, saying that Charming is the most charismatic royalty in Novoselic, and some of Charming's supporters began to cheer of the rival prince, making him quite a hero.

"HOORAY!"

"PRINCE CHARMING IS CHARISMATIC!"

"HE IS THE FUTURE RULER OF NOVOSELIC!"

"HE IS A HERO!"

"HAIL PRINCE CHARMING!"

"HE IS KIND! A HERO!"

"A PATRIOT!"

"LONG LIVE THE PRINCE!"

The chancellor then told the guests that this proves that Naegi is attempting a takeover, making it appear that Naegi is commandeering the bear to assault the Chancellor and the prince saved his life. However, as the chancellor turn around, "Elias" roared at him and grabbed the chancellor, did an atomic drop, which the chancellor hopped as he held his groins in pain before given a roundhouse punch, which sends the chancellor careening towards a large vase and went there head-first.

Then "Elias" grabbed the rival royal PR and executed the Drift Away (Elias' finishing wrestling move), and the rival royal PR laid on the floor, dazed. As Charming attempted to show off his macho size and ordered the bear to leave, "Elias" brought out another wooden guitar and is ready to strike, but Sonia approached the bear and gently talked him down.

"Shh…shh…easy…"

"RRRAARRAARAA! (He started it!)"

"It's okay."

"RRRAARRAARAA? (Can't I perform in peace?)"

"I'll arrange something for you. You can perform freely."

"RRRAARRAARAA? (Really?)"

"Yes."

"…"

Everyone were perplexed, as they could not understand what the bear is saying, but Sonia seemed to understand, and eventually, the bear stand down and leaves the function room, and there Sonia and the royal PR helps Naegi up, removing the wrecked remains of the guitar off his head, as he sports a swollen forehead and she asked if Naegi is okay, which he just nodded.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister instructed the guards to help get the vase off the chancellor's head, which took a few minutes before he is freed, and there the chancellor vented his ire towards Naegi and insisted that he is behind the TRANSGRESSION and ordered to have the boy arrested.

The royal PR told the chancellor to stop his tantrum and instead focus on accommodating the guests, but the chancellor made another fit and did another tantrum, and jumps non-stop, only to stop when he felt he stepped on someone, which was the bear "Elias", and he is pissed, and smashes the guitar on the chancellor's head, causing him to lay flat on the floor.

Everyone stared in surprise, and when the Prime Minister foolishly shoved the bear back, "Elias" grabbed him and did a power slam, and the two men laid prone on the floor, and the guests cheered for the bear, praising him for putting up a good show.

Charming stared wide-eyed as the audience were giving attention and praise to the bear when it was the prince who should be praised as he is the birthday celebrant, and now he felt that he has to do something to shift the public opinion in his favor.
