p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT" /p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT"Eunji made her way to the dining hall. Everyone was in high spirits, since they could all sense that this killing game was close to it's end. After all, Hirokazu's resolve was too strong./p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT" /p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT""So... what's the agenda for today?" Naomori asked./p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT" /p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT""Just do what we normally do." Takashi said. "Which is... you know... just hang out with each other."/p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT"br /"Yeah..." Naomori said. "But... Takashi, we know your talent now! Can't we like, I dunno, use that to get out of here?"/p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT" /p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT""It's like what I already said, we can't escape with the help of my organization because they believe that I have been compromised."/p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT" /p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT""But..." Seungyeon said. "Is it possible that we can maybe get you out, and you can come back for us later?"/p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT"br /"Huh?" Izumi said. "How the hell would that even be possible?'/p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT"br /"Hmm..." The actress fell silent. "You'll see..."/p

p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT"br /"There's still the concern of whether or not Monokuma will give a motive again, though." Youngjae said./p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT"br /"Yeah, that's true." Yeeun replied. "He's really being rushing this "game" of his along."/p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT"br /"Whatever the motive will be, none of us will take it." Kaori stated. "Don't let Hirokazu's sacrifice go to waste."/p

p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT""As morbid as it sounds... I guess we lucked out that the more... problematic students got themselves taken care of..." Naomori said./p

p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT""Naomori, that's horrible." Miyumi replied./p

p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT""I-I'm just saying, if Kazuhiko or like Reika were here, they'd totally be ruining this harmony!" The herbalist defended himself./p

p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT" /p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT""Hmm..." Naomori said. "How come you don't share anything with the rest of us?"/p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT" /p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT""Because it's honestly none of your business." The hacker stated./p

p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT" /p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT""Well, breakfast was splendid, as usual!" Seungyeon said. "I'm gonna go head out."/p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT" /p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT""Hey, Seungyeon, where do you go?" Youngjae asked. "You always go off by yourself."/p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT" /p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT""Eh, can't a girl get some alone time?" The actress shrugs./p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT" /p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT""I mean... I suppose..." The babysitter crossed his arms./p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT" /p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT""But yeah, byeee." With that, Seungyeon made her quite hasty departure./p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT" /p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT""Hmm..." Izumi was observing her... "She's up to something."/p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT"br /"Now now, don't distrust her." Eunji replied./p

p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT" /p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT"And the next to make their way out were Takashi and Miyumi./p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT" /p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT""Babe, where are you going?" Eunji asked./p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT"br /"Just going to talk with Takashi somewhere more private." The detective replied. "Don't worry, I'll be back soon!"/p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT" /p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT"And that was the end of the conversation, and the two were out of the dining hall./p

p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT""Guess we should make our departure next." Izumi replied. "Come on, Yeeun."/p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT" /p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT"Then those two left next./p

p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT"All that were left in the dining hall was Eunji, Naomori, Youngjae, and Kaori./p

p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT""Huh..." Kaori said. "It definitely does feel a lot more emptier now..."/p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT"br /"Hey, Kaori." Youngjae said. "You've said you wanted to learn how to cook, right?"/p

p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT"br /"Then let's head into the kitchen." The babysitter, and those two also disappeared./p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT" /p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT"The herbalist approached Eunji./p

p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT""Well, I do have to go see Izumi." Eunji replied./p

p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT" /p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT""Sorry, can't tell you." The idol replied./p

p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT"strongYeah... if Izumi hasn't told Naomori what she's been doing, then it's for a valid reason./strong/p

p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT"strongI don't want to violate her trust like that./strong/p

p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT" /p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT"strongReally? He didn't even want to hang out with me? He just wanted info?/strong/p

p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT" /p
p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT"strongSeems like he's more social with plants than he is with us sometimes.../strong/p

p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT" /p

p style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium;" align="LEFT"br /"Because Yeeun and the transfers were going to this class." Takashi said. "We're Class 82supnd/sup of Hope's Peak. The Ultimate Despair figured that if Yeeun were to be trapped in this game, they needed more than just the transfer students. Thus... this killing school term started..."/p
