As the hunt for the Sketch Artist Killers, Otome Saotome and Junko Enoshima, continue onwards, Junko herself was flying around F City, finding suitable Stand Users.
"Well, so far, since my trajectory and accuracy is flawless, I've made five Stand Users, and all of them worthy of my rule." She said, in her teacher's form, "Now, all I need is more, and then I can continue on with my Army of Despair. Though it seems this way, I fear that those meddling Gang Members and their cohorts are planning to ruin my fun."
She shifted to her weepy side and sobbed, "It's scary… I had problems with the big one and the spiky-haired boy, but Kazuki Sendo and the Squealing Crow are breaking me up…"
She hissed, in her rocker pose, "BAH! I'm going to oust them, and once that's done, the real show can begin! Chazz Princeton is one thing, but to nail down those meddlers and their Spirits and Stands, I'm making sure that Despair wins!"
She paused, as she saw a girl in long light blonde hair. She was prancing down the street, with a huge smile on her face. Junko hissed, as she spied on her, "Eh? Hmm… She's a pretty little angel… Another girl, imbued with despair. And the arrow doesn't lie! She's chosen!"
She cried out, "ONE MORE… FOR DESPAIR!" She tossed the arrow, straight for the cute prancing girl. But…
SWAT!
The girl somehow swatted the arrow down, without knowing, with her schoolbag. She chanted, "AH-COO-RAH-SU! AH-COO-RAH-SU! AHHHHHHHH-COOOOO-RAH-SUUUUUUUU!"
Oh, no… It can't be…
Junko frantically shrieked, as she picked up the arrow, "Crap, crap, crap, crap! Crap! PHEW!" She sighed and growled, "What the hell? She avoided the arrow?! She is a worthy slave for the Stands of Despair… but… Could she have already gotten her Stand? And even so… How did she know about my arrow?!"
This girl was no ordinary high school student. This was… EXCEL! That's right! Excel Excel, a member of ACROSS, and all-around resident regular in her hometown City of F!
Excel tripped and landed on her face. She moaned, "Owwwwwwwww…"
Junko then sighed, as she turned away, "Uh… Um… You know what, screw her." And then she floated away, not wanting anything to do with Excel.
Episode 50 – Chapter 4: The Sketch Artist Killer (Part 2)
Excel is Back!
F City is Excel's Home! YAY!
The radio played, as a female voice spoke on the air, "Good morning, summer funsters! Hotaru Kokonohi, your Summer DJ from 11 to 5, welcoming you to F-City Radio WFCK-FM! Today is Monday, July 1st, 2019, and the start of something big! Yes, it may be Monday, but who doesn't want to soak up the sun on a Monday? Today IS special, summer fun seekers, because all beaches and rivers are open to the public, and tourists around F City and the capital have never been livelier! Relaxing at a summer villa, camping, fishing, yachting, you name it! There's lots of many fun activities to find here, at this time of year!"
XXXXX
Yes, many fun activities for everyone… but not just for the morally upright, but everyone wanted to enjoy the summer season… especially THIS poor girl.
Meanwhile, in Nagisa and Kaede's house, Kaede (or Otome) was viewing girls, walking by, as she was feeling uneasy. She thought, "We're all forced to live out our lives concealing our deepest hopes and fear… But still… To forever keep them to yourself?" She bit her fingernails and whispered, "Am I doomed to live by such a veil of secrecy?"
She grumbled, "These girls… I want to show them a time of their lives, and show the true Otome Saotome, and what she does… But these urges I have… as my nails grow, so are my carnal desires…"
She held up a pencil and snarled, "Must draw… smut… Must… draw… smut…"
She slammed the pencil down and roared, "AGH!" She calmed down and said, "I have to control my urges, for now, or that cocky prick will be on me…"
She was busy writing a paper on her desk. She thought, as she was thinking, "Ugh… I know I'm supposed to stay in his place, and act as his girlfriend, but still… If this guy finds me out, I have to oust him. Either way… I must leave, and soon… So far, I'm able to perform my handwriting perfectly, but mimicking the signature of Kaede Kayano is hard… My handwriting is improving, but I still haven't mastered it."
She started to write her new name, Kaede Kayano, and then growled, "Mngh…" She erased the mistake, and then thought, "Chazz Princeton… Peter Giese… Asahi Sakurai… all of them… They're the reason I'm stuck in this mess…"
Nagisa was spying from behind the door, as he saw Otome writing.
XXXXX
Meanwhile, at the beach, The Gang Aces were informed by an agent of the Speedwagon Foundation, upon delivering news about Otome Saotome's last known whereabouts.
He said to them, as they were sitting together, behind the agent, "Here. These are the updated files on the Sketch Artist Killer… We are aware of Junko Enoshima. Even in death, she always pops up and crawls in, like a bug. But gotta hand it to those two, they sure know how to cover tracks."
Steven viewed pages of Junko Enoshima, and many crimes she committed. He said, "Junko Enoshima, The Sketch Artist Killer… Ultimate Despair… She thrives on it."
Farra said, "So, this is Junko, before she became a specter."
Asahi said to the Agent, "Special Agent Thompson, that'll be all."
He responded, "Before I leave, know this… It's summer, and it's tourist season in F City, and all around Japan."
He left, as Peter said, "It's summer, and there's a lot of girls about to soak up the sun… And knowing who she is… she'd look awful in a bikini."
Farra nodded, "Yeah. Though, if we're to discuss her facial issues, the pictures we got from Kazuki were helpful… though, I don't think any of them match her facial textures."
She held up files for Otome Saotome, which were created from the offices. Farra said, "Now that we know who's who and which is which, we must stay within our range, and keep an eye out for both of them."
Peter replied, as he and Steven were leaving, "Yeah. Since she is under a new guise, that son of a bitch wouldn't resist the urge to kill."
Asahi nodded, as she replied, "Indeed. Knowing Saotome, she'll try to blend in with the tourists… before she can make a move." She then viewed the files of Junko Enoshima, but then thought, "I wonder…"
She then whispered the name that she didn't get, which is in the files, and from Peter's story, in which he faced the Ultimate Despair.
"Mukuro Ikusaba…"
Farra asked, "Who?"
Asahi placed the files down, as she said, "Oh! Uh… Nothing."

Chazz was walking home to his apartments, as he saw the door open. He gasped, "WHAT THE-?"
He thought, "Someone… broke into my apartment?"
Iwata called, "Hey, Princeton! You there?"
He rushed to him, as Chazz asked, "Oh, Iwata. What's wrong?"
Iwata pleaded, "It's terrible… my worst nightmare has come true… I was hoping my day wouldn't last, being just a background character… But I'm demoted again!"
"What are you talking about?"
"There's a girl… in your apartment!"
"WHAT? A LADY?!"
He rushed upstairs, as Iwata cried, "WAIT! LEMME FINISH! THIS GIRL IS-!"
Chazz called up, "YEAH, DO ME A FAVOR AND SHUT UP! I'M GETTING THAT BITCH OUT OF MY HOME!"
Iwata shivered, "But… It is her home…"
He barged in, and called out, "HEY! You intruding whore! What the hell are you doing in my apartment?" He then gasped, seeing Excel, resting in a futon. He gasped, "What the hell? Is she sleeping my futon? Who is this woman?"
Excel snored, "Zzz… Z-z-z-z-z-z-z-zed… Z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-zed… I am dubbed in Canada… that's why Excel says Zed…"
Chazz snarled, "She talks in her sleep… Just who is she? She's weird…"
Excel suddenly woke up, as she was moaning, "Huh? Morning already? Excel isn't usually her cheerful self… This isn't… how Excel… remembers…"
He thought, "Excel? Is that her name?"
Excel sat up, as she was in pink pajamas, "Mngh… I need breakfast…"
He roared, "HEY, SLEEPING BEAUTY! WAKE UP! THIS IS MY APARTMENT!"
She turned to him, and asked, "Eh?" She then gasped, after five whole seconds, and then she shrieked, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
She screamed, "WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING HERE, YOU PERV!"
She lunged at him, but he cried, "OJAMA STAR!"
He fired a right at Excel, but she suddenly paused and his fist was almost to the face. She paused, as she rolled her eyes to the left, and moaned, "Ehhhhhh?"
Chazz asked, "Eh? Wait… Who is she? She's not a Stand User? If she did, she'd see it."
She asked, "Hey, may I ask you a question, Pervert? Why did you scream Ojama Star, and stood in place, like Johnny Test? Excel is a bit confused…"
He thought, "Wait… She can't see my Ojama Star? But Spirit Callers are sometimes visible to the naked eye… Or, could it be…"
Excel moaned, "EH? Wait… Why did you-?"
Chazz stated, "Hold it! Rewind that back. Iwata just warned me about you, invading my home. You broke into my house, and-."
She pleaded, "You got Excel wrong! Excel still had the key to her old apartment home, since the end of her own series, which by the way Excel Saga's a cult classic, nerds on Social Media, and Excel thought she would rekindle my pad, with my boys in the background, for old time's sake, and Hatchan, too. But Excel was rather lonely. Just a while ago, Hatchan just vanished, and she was very sickly. She must've died again, like all the time… How many times has Hatchan died? Excel lost count, but I hope she returns soon. It's not a main character's job as a heroine, without her faithful sidekick who dies now and then, and revives herself, after a while. This was after my friends, Yuki and Haruka suddenly left Mr. Building, after the Great West Greenwich War, which lost so many, and Excel was super-duper-ultra-mega-hyper lonely! Why would my new friends suddenly go away, like old news and old business? Is that so wrong? WAAAAAAAAAAH EXCEL IS CRYING BECAUSE SHE HAS NO FRIENDS LEFT!"
She bawled, as he grumbled, "Join a club. You're not the only one who lost friends…"
She stopped crying and bragged, "Sooooooooooooo… Excel wants to reconnect with my past, and see what happened to everyone in my series: Hatchan, Menchi, that cute G-Cup girl, those three losers in the background, Ropponmatsu 1 and Ropponmatsu 2, and-."
"WHOA!" He stopped her and shouted, "You know Ropponmatsu?!"
Excel asked, "Eh?"
XXXXX
He sat her down, as he explained what happened to some of Excel's "cast members". Of course, he didn't go into detail, since they died because of Stand Users.
Excel was sad, as she said, "Oh… While I was gone, two of the peanut gallery, Misaki, that Shiouji perv, and a few others were killed… by the Sketch Artist Killer… they say…"
Chazz added, "Even worse, the Sketch Artist Killer is as batty as you. She goes by the second name – Ultimate Fashionista, and a third name, which is her true form, Ultimate Despair. She used this girl, Otome Saotome, and made her become a huge sadistic and perverted serial killer."
"Ultimate Despair… Wait… Excel cannot bear to hear that name…"
"That's right… The Sketch Artist Killer; Ultimate Despair Sister… Junko Enoshima!"
Excel shrieked, "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH EXCEL SAYS SHE CANNOT BEAR THAT NAME! WHY DID YOU SAY THAT TO EXCEL?!"
"Wait, you know her?"
"NO! But Excel heard terrible stories… about Junko Enoshima… Lord Il Palazzo says that world is corrupt, and this Moji Mokisa is corrupt as ever, ten times as much as Donald Trump! But Junko Enoshima is thousands and thousands times worse off… Despair looms everywhere, and Excel has been caught in despair, every part-time job she has, and she wasn't even around at the time! By she wasn't even around, Excel meant Junko. Excel Saga came before Danganronpa, thank you! Junko is living despair! Excel lived through despair but almost blah-blah-blah! Blah-blah-blah! Blah-blah! Blah-blah-blah-blah!"
He muttered, as he kept hearing Excel's long-standing mouth, "Great… This motor mouth's in despair, a lot, and she suddenly feels like she wants my aide… How can people even listen to this walking-talking parrot? She's starting to piss me off!"
Excel continued, "Anyways, Excel wants a favor to ask, since I want to bunk with you for a while, since she wants to find Hatchan, before Junko Enoshima get to her. In other words, I want to be with her, before Despair Bitch kills her! But good luck with Hatchan. She gets killed, she dies as a corpse. And then wait a couple minutes, hours, a whole day, and she'll be right as rain!"
Chazz stated, "Uh, I don't think she'd live again, if she dies… But still, she might have some sort of multiple-time near-death experiences. I mean, do you even know what she died from?"
She pondered, and then moaned, "Unnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnh… I don't know… It's so long ago, and Excel's in an era of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure meets Dragon Ball Super meets Devilman Crybaby meets any anime reboot you can find! How long was I inactive for, coach? Put me in! But how Hatchan died… AGH! So many deaths! I lost count!"
"Whoa! Okay! Calm down…" he suggested, "I'm sorry, but I was very worried about you. Now, lemme offer you help to find Hatchan, or whatever she's called."
Excel said, "Actually, she's called Hyatt. I call her Hatchan, as fun." She showed a picture of herself and a woman in blue hair, pale skin, big breasts, and a little blood from her mouth. "See, this is Hatchan, the girl with blood. She may look sickly, but even Excel doesn't know who, how, what, why, and when she showed up in the blue! Truth be told, Excel never even learned the origin story of Hatchan… so, I'm going to leave it out. GAH! Even my creators of Excel Saga never bothered with a proper origin story!"
He said, "Okay, calm down. But seriously… I mean, you have been working a lot, right?"
"Hardly…"
"I see… So, basically, you were only trying to help out yourself, not going into poverty."
"Exactly."
"Yes. But do you have like special abilities?"
"Hmm… Abilities…"
She then held up a satchel and said, "Well, since I was back in ACROSS, after I left the Salmon City's Broken Shades Motel, where Excel was last seen, I did get brand-new gadgets that I ordered from WHOOP Enterprises! They even had this spanking Shop App on Excel's smartphone. I shop there, twice a month, just to buy what I need! Also, don't ask why I got a smartphone. Excel's too stupid that a monkey would operate this thing."
Chazz looked at her smartphone and cried, "HUH? Gadgetry on sale?!"
He then grinned, as he figured it out, "Hmm… You know, I think I may need you. If you do me a favor, perhaps I may assist you on locating your friend. You're going to help me on this summer!"
"OH! Excel's always wanted to be soaking the sun, with a bikini!"
"Right! We're going to hit it big, just you and me! Apparently, Asa is busy with the rest of her friends, hunting down Junko Enoshima, since that's a top priority. But since I'm not available to assist them at this time, I'm taking a break. But you and I are going to make everyone happy."
"Happy?"
He explained, "Well, we're going to get some money for the summer. See, a while ago, Asa and I got some money from a lottery ticket, and she agreed that we keep it in our savings. But when I foolishly splurged and bought about 250,000 Yen of what I needed, she froze my account, as punishment. Man, she is okay with savings, but I'm flat broke, until I get more swag. And it's hard to find a part-time job, in this heat."
"Who's Asahi?"
"My girlfriend."
"Oh."
"Anyways, that's where you come in! Wanna buy something that can play easily to win?"
Excel looked into the WHOOP Catalog App and said, "Well, Excel was about to buy something, since it's the first day of the new month, so… What would you like to buy?"
He then smirked, "Dice!"
"Dice? Dice, as in… OH! Vegas Dice? Excel knows exactly what you mean!"
He smirked evilly, "Yes, my dear Excel. And The Chazz will be raking in the dough, as we shall be sitting pretty… though, if we succeed in finding Hyatt, we'll be okay."
Excel cheered, "YAY! GIMME HALF OF WHAT YOU MAKE, CHAZZ BOY!"
He called, "Whoa, hold on! It's not that easy! We need to buy the dice that is rigged, and untraceable… You know, so we won't get caught."
Excel said, "Hmm… I see… OH! Gadget #C7167-V – Miracle Dice. One instant spin, wishing what you want for the dice, and you'll make an instant miracle. You know, for the user to produce easy winnings! Wait…" She then asked, "Ehhhh, isn't that like cheating?"
He said, "Learning from a Poker game in Egypt, it's not cheating, unless you get caught… but you'd have to be pretty smart to outwit The Chazz. Of course, for this sort of way, I'm going to cheat, all for swag!"
She laughed, "OOOOOOOOOOOOH! I like the way you think! How many? For this custom, two dice should be fine!"
"NO! Three! Make sure we have three dice!"
"OKAY! Excel will buy it for Instant Delivery! It should take about three hours! In the meantime, why don't we have a snack, while we wait?"
She then asked, "Oh, incidentally, who should we try it on, as a sucker?"
Chazz said, "Well…"
XXXXX
Chazz and Excel arrived at Kazuki's house, as Kazuki said, "Well, you're a sight for sore eyes. Chazz Princeton has once again stumbled into my abode, and yet you're calmer than the last time you came… I'm not doing manga drawing, since Taishi is incapacitated, thanks to you. But enough about me, what about you? Did you find any more clues on Otome Saotome or Junko Enoshima?"
Chazz said, "Nope. Nothing yet. But I'd like to stop by and have a little time together."
Kazuki huffed, "Just what are you up to? And who's this woman?"
Chazz said, "Oh, she ran into me, and suddenly wanted to walk it. Truth be told, she's been looking for a friend of hers that she lost…"
Kazuki said, "I see… Does she know everything about The Sketch Artist Killer?"
Excel nodded, "Oh, Excel did, since she was told about it. This is all new to her, since Excel wants to return to F City, on vacation, and suddenly Enoshima and Saotome was thriving in my mind that I'm-! I'm going to climax in my brain! AAAAAAAAAAAUGH! Brain orgasm… yet Excel's brain is so tiny…"
She dropped to her knees and panted in arousal. He asked Chazz, "Princeton… Why the hell did you bring this freak? I've had my share of oddities, including the crow, for one week. Now, what is it that you want?"
Chazz said, "Well… To tell you the truth… May we play a game of chance? I know you want to NOT play Janken-Po, but… How about Cee-Lo?"
He explained, "Anyways, I have no spending money, but I only have 30,000 Yen in Life Savings, and I owe Asahi a favor to date her in the beach…"
"And why do you have pocket change?"
"Because Asa's an uptight bitch who froze my bank account! THAT'S WHY! JUST WHY DID I EVEN DATE HER IN THE FIRST PLACE?
So I decided to make some dough or go flat broke! Asa and I wouldn't go for 30,000 on a date, since nowadays, 30,000 Yen gets you some snacks and a trip to the amusement park. Asa needs this, more than me! You agree? I mean, you know her, for a long time, right?"
"She is meticulous, on some occasions, but she sometimes lacks common sense, since she is a celebrity and a detective. Besides, I have no interest with you… a man I more or less despise, since we met. But if you must, I'll humor you. But this girl here, chatterbox as she is, will act as a witness. I'm not fond of games, but I suppose I should help you out. Meet me out back, when you're ready."
Chazz said, "Thanks, Sendo."
Excel grinned, "He-he-he-he-he-heh…"
XXXXX
And so, Chazz and Kazuki played a game of Cee-Lo, a dice game that is used to shoot three dice. He held up the rules to Cee-Lo and said, "Here. This suffices you to the rules?"
Chazz said, "NO objections here."
Kazuki explained, "Chips are worth a thousand Yen each. We each have about 30,000 Yen each, so they'll be split into three stacks. Should one of the dice fall out of the cup, that's an instant disqualification."
Chazz held the dice and said, "Sure thing. Anyways, let's roll and see who plays first!"
But Kazuki halted and said, "Just a moment. We're not using those dice."
"Eh?"
"We'll use mine. I manage to find a set, in my home." He put down three dice, as he said, "It's not that I don't trust you, but you are an accomplished player in Duel Monsters. And this isn't just for fun… it is, but…" he glared, "The fun part is that I'll be able to take your 30,000 Yen, when it's over. Since I happen to be on bad terms with The Gang, despite my recent follies, consider this revenge on them… and you're going to pay up my sweet revenge, once I beat you in Cee-Lo."
Chazz muttered, "Hmmmngh… You never seem to be fair to the others. What do you even have against those losers? I only joined their missions, because of what happened to Mizuki."
Kazuki stated, "Well, what they did was admirable… but Mizuki's my ex-girlfriend… and yet, she and I shared a mutual childhood bond that wouldn't go away. Even so, those losers as you called them took my Mizuki away, when she broke up with me. And after obtaining Heaven's Gate, my despair of heartache faded… until Sakura Minamoto came along, and I remembered what happened between me and Mizuki… all these years ago…"
Chazz put the dice in the pocket, and then sighed, "Right… Well, The Chazz will try and win, but make no mistake… Sucks to be you, just to be single forever."
Kazuki held up a die and said, "Well, let's roll and see who goes first…"
As they rolled, Excel quietly smirked, narrating to the 4th wall, "What the poor bastard doesn't know is that Excel already switched the dice that he was using with her rigged Miracle Dice, before we got here. Kazuki Sendo may be smart and clever to figure out Chazz Princeton, but Excel's faster and sneakier than this lovelorn loser."
They rolled, as Chazz rolled a six, and Kazuki rolled a four. He said, "Go ahead, you first."
Chazz placed two chips and said, "Well, I bet two thousand Yen…"
Kazuki said, "Alright, I call your wager. Now roll."
Chazz said, "Dice, don't fail me now… No 1-2-3, just 4-5-6."
Kazuki glared at him, as Chazz replied, "Well, just being that shaken in believing."
He rolled, and it rolled onto the cup. The dice stopped, and it landed on all sixes. Excel gasped, as does the boys, "Triple Six?! An omen…"
Triple Six, as in The Number of the Beast. Chazz wins five times he wagered. In Cee-Lo, if the dice is rolled with the same number, it's called a Trip, and it's an automatic win.
He argued, "FUCK! Why did you have to land on it so quickly?"
Kazuki asked, "HUH?"
Chazz cried, "Well, don't look at me!" He then stammered, "Uh… I mean, why would I roll 6-6-6? I know it's bad mojo, but-. LOOK! Listen to me! Three Sixes is a bad omen! Right, Excel?"
Excel nodded, "Uh-huh. Devil numbers come into play."
They played dumb, since they're using the Miracle Dice, and Kazuki doesn't know it. Kazuki gave him the winnings, as he said, "Ugh… Never mind that. It was a coincidence. But I don't believe in bad luck… If you rolled all fours, then it would be very unlucky. Now… Let's continue the game."
Chazz sighed, "Great… For a second, you think I would resort to cheating. The Chazz never cheats."
"That's true… but I'm curious that if you land on fours, not only you'd get money, but you'd get a tingle of bad luck. So, 10,000 Yen will suffice you for now."
He placed his bet down and said, "Now, it's my turn. I bet ten."
He rolled his dice, and it landed on 1, 2, and 3. They were in shock, as in accordance to the rules of Cee-Lo, landing with 1, 2, and 3 results in the bet to be doubled, and Kazuki has to pay double of what he bets to Chazz. Chazz and Excel were completely shocked. He then thought, "Shit, he's growing suspicious!"
Kazuki asked, "You there, girl, do you have a magnifying glass?"
She gave it to him, as he examined the die. He said, "Hmm… They look like my dice… though the craftsmanship is perfected. It may be my imagination, but this die has a heartbeat."
Excel gasped, "URK!" and then thought, "Wait… A heartbeat?"
Two eyes appeared from the die, on the 2 side. Excel whimpered, "Oh, teacakes… Excel goofed. Why did she buy the wrong dice?"
Kazuki said, "Oh, well, I guess it didn't matter. I suppose that it's just a coincidence."
He gave him the dice, "Okay, your turn."
Chazz whispered, "Right… I can't overdo it on this…" he thought, "These Miracle Dice must be defective. Just let me win, but barely… I don't want to go overboard."
Kazuki added 30 more chips to the table. Chazz prepared to roll. He rolled, and landed on triple six, again! Excel shrieked, "GUWAAAAAAAAAAH?!"
Kazuki smiled, "Another omen? Well, that's a pretty surprising coincidence, being that you rolled it again…"
He placed the chips down, as Excel stammered, "Crap… Crap… I'm sorry… Excel's so sorry, Princeton… This is my fault… We're winning, but it feels like that Excel made a boo-boo, when she shopped for dice! What did I do wrong?"
She then said, "Uh, would you excuse me? I have to make an important call."
Kazuki said, "No. I advise that you stay here… I mean, I want a witness to view me in this game. Besides, someone has to see if this card charlatan is a cheater…"
Chazz said, "Hey, don't look at me. I guess it was lucky to win three times a row."
Kazuki smiled, "Well, I guess that's true."
He laughed, as Chazz and Excel laughed. But then…
STAB!
He stabbed his own pinky, and they gasped in horror. He cried, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
Kazuki snarled, "I know what I did, but I know you're actually cheating…"
Excel gulped, "URK!"
He continued, "I chose to hold back my anger, at the request of Asahi, Miss Nevins, and Tsukasa… but I won't be made a mockery by the likes of you! The thought of you laughing at me is unbearable!"
Chazz said, "Hold on! Ojama Star will fix that!"
Kazuki roared, "NO! Stay back! I don't even want your damned Spirit Caller to fix me! But know this… I'm not letting this unbearable pain sink into me! We'll play one more game, Chazz Princeton… consider this pinky as collateral! You win, as if I could not figure out your clandestine tactics, two hundred thousand Yen is all yours! Consider it monetary incentive for Ojama Star to heal my injuries, after the game! But if you lose, or if I can confirm that you really are cheating, then not only I win all your money… YOU MUST GIVE ME YOUR PINKY, AS COMPENSATION!"
Chazz gasped, as Excel whimpered in fear, "HOLY TEACAKES, EXCEL IS SHOCKED BY THIS SUDDEN ANGER AND COURAGE THAT THIS MAN HAS-!"
"YOU, SHUT UP!" He roared at Excel, "There's more to this matter! If Princeton is cheating, I'm taking your pinkies, as well, since you're obviously an accomplice!"
She shivered, "Ulp… Mine? Excel's little digits?"
Suddenly, That Man 19 appeared, as he said, "Oh… Hey, greetings, Senora Excel, long time no see, my fellow ACROSS ally."
Chazz gasped, "OH! You two know each other?!"
That Man 19 said, "Si, Princeton. I'm surprised that you recognized me. I was gone for over a month, after Haruko Haruhara lambasted me, and sent me to ER. But now, That Man 2019 Edition is back and better than ever!"
Kazuki said, "Never mind how you two know each other, Excel, was it? But I hired this man as a repo man, for this final game, just as a precaution."
Chazz asked, "Repo Man?"
That Man bowed, "At the request from your friend, Master Tsukasa Hiiragi, I, That Man 2019 Edition, will assist you on this matter." He then held a huge lock and said, "Using the assistance of my Stand, The Lock and Key, I will attach it to your heart! Whoever wins or loses, my Stand will decide on the ending of this suspicious game! I will personally oversee this Cee-Lo game, to see if anything is fair or not! But my services are 20% or 400,000 Yen, whichever the sum is."
Excel looked at his hand, in confusion, looking for The Lock and Key. Sadly, she cannot see it, since she's not a Stand User.
Kazuki nodded, "You see, Princeton? I chose this as a way to give you the disadvantage. Should you dare attempt to cheat, The Lock and Key will lodge into your heart, and I'll know I'm right."
He held the dice and said, "Now then… I'll go first, this time…"
He rolled the dice, and it suddenly rolled two 3's and a four. He growled, as Excel asked, "Huh? What do you know?"
That Man said, "Two 3's and a 4, that is a sturdy roll."
This is known in Cee-Lo as a Set Point.
Kazuki said, "Now, you're turn…"
Chazz thought, "So, it finally started working. Imagine… my luck, about to be padlocked away. If I lose, I don't know what… So, these dice will work well, as long as I cheat fairly… but still… What the hell is wrong with these dice? I rolled three 6's, two times… Imagine what happens, if I rolled it a third time…"
He prepared to roll, but was nervous. He said, "Crap… What do I do? Don't panic…"
Suddenly a little pus came out of one of the dice, as he gasped, "Huh? What the hell? Did that thing vomited? Miracle Dice cannot get sick… Hold on…"
Excel trembled, as she whispered, "Uh… uhhhh… Chazz, throw the dice, and get it over with!"
Kazuki called, "Hey, not so fast! I insist you not cover the dice! Loosen your hand, and just shake it, like you normally would! I can't see them, if they're closed tight."
Sirens were made, lightly, as That Man 19 asked, "Huh? Must be a fire going on."
Excel thought, "Eh? Fire trucks?"
He rolled, as he cried, "NOW! DO IT!"
He rolled the dice, as it rolled… Triple Six, again… That Man 19 held the lock up and cried, "TRIPLE SIX! A 666 OMEN! The Lock and Key didn't move… Uno momento… Princeton is cheating! I know these dice from anywhere…"
Excel cringed, as Chazz stammered, "HUH? Oh, fuck…"
That Man 19 said, "Well, do you know what the cheating dice is? Or am I wrong, senor?"
Kazuki snarled, as he looked at the dice. It suddenly started to bulge red dots, as Kazuki viewed it. Though, he couldn't see the rash on the other side. But then, the sirens went louder, as Excel cried, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
She cried, "SENDO-SENSEI! LOOK TO YOUR LEFT!"
That Man 19 yelled, "SANTA MARIA! IT CANNOT BE!"
They all turned to the doorway, as the house was on fire. Kazuki cried, "MY HOUSE?!"
They all cried, as they were in attention to the flames, "THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE!"
Excel swiftly switched the dice, as it all stood at 6, 6, and 6. She put them in her pocket, as That Man 19 called, "Senor, you have to go! The house is burning down!"
Chazz viewed the table and thought, "The magnifying glass! Crap! We were busy playing the game that we forgot to take it back!"
Excel laughed, as she took it, "Uh-hah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha… how did that get here…?"
Kazuki roared, "YOU IDIOT! Why didn't you take back the magnifying glass? No matter, all I know is that Princeton cheated, and I have proof!"
That Man 19 yelled, "Never mind that! We need to retreat! Take your two million and move!"
Excel snatched it and said, "Sorry. You have no proof that he cheated! Take the money and go! So sad, too bad, omens are a bitch, isn't it?"
That Man 19 shrieked, "SENORA, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?"
Kazuki roared, "YOU ROTTEN SKANK! COME BACK!"
Chazz returned to Kazuki and said, "Oh, that reminds me, I forgot to fix your pinky."
He used Ojama Star to repair the pinky, and Kazuki growled, "Thanks, but I didn't want or ask for your help, anyways!"
He and Excel ran off, as Kazuki hollered, "CHAZZ PRINCETON, YOU BASTARD!"
The firemen arrived and put out the fire to Kazuki's house, while Chazz and Excel made a beeline, making their grand escape.
"DAMN IT! That was close!" Chazz roared, "I guess I'm the type of guy that people love to hate, huh? Who would've figured?"
Excel said, "Sorry… Excel made a boo-boo… She bought the Omen Dice, by mistake! Those dice, when rolled by the owner, can always roll three 6's! Gadget #C4167-V… Excel was one number off!"
They ran off, as Chazz hollered, "AND YOU TELL ME NOW?! YOU USELESS DUMBASS!"
[Report: Chazz Princeton escapes with Two Hundred Thousand Yen of Kazuki Sendo's account; however, Asahi Sakurai took the money back to Mr. Sendo, after finding out he cheated to get the money. Princeton leaves without losing any money.
As for Kazuki Sendo, his house suffered over Seven Million Yen in damages. And moreover, he now despises Chazz Princeton, more than The Gang.]
Meanwhile, at Nagisa's house, he went to his room, while Otome was busying drawing. He walked past her doorway, and thought, "Interesting… I never knew she's an artist."
The radio played, as he left, "Just a friendly reminder to all you drivers out there to be extra careful, while driving! It seems that yesterday, a motorcycle accident happened near the entrance to Fujinoriya Tunnel, and the young rider was badly injured…"
Miz-K NOTE: Next chapter… You know what.
He shut the door, as Otome called, "OH! Nagisa. You, uh, want to draw with me?"
He said, "No, thanks, Kaede… I'm going to go lay down."
"Alright. When's dinner? I figured I make some stir-fry, tonight."
"I'm not hungry."
He shut the door, and then locked it. He approached a monitor and said, "Hmm… … …"
He played a video of Otome, writing in her desk. He then thought, "Kaede's writing on her desk, and she suddenly started drawing… URK! Nude pics? How lewd of her…"
He then overheard a voice in the audio, as she was writing her fake name, correctly, "Chazz Princeton… Asahi Sakurai… Because of them, I'm in this mess…"
He heard her voice, as he pondered, "Still… … …What did she mean? Princeton? Sakurai? Who are they?"
Chazz socked Excel in the head, as she had a huge lump on her head. She sobbed, "Owwww… Waaaaaaaaaah, Excel said she was sorry…"
He roared, "It's thanks to you, Asa busted me, and Kazuki Sendo hates me now!"
Excel wept, "Sorry…"
He sighed and said, "Well, it doesn't matter. The guy hates me, more than those losers. So, I managed to get him off their backs about Mizuki. But Asahi's normally a peacekeeper."
Excel sighed, "Yeah… It was a stupid mistake, coming back here… I'm sorry I ruined you…"
"Hey, it's alright… I'm just a little pissed off that you goofed. To be honest, when That Man 19 found out about the Omen Dice, he told Asahi everything. And now, I lost all that money I made."
"Your girlfriend's a huge parent…"
"Yeah… I wonder if she got that sort of strict attitude from my family… but that doesn't matter. After a huge scolding from Asahi, I told her about you and said that we'll find Hyatt for you."
"You will? OH! Excel is overjoyed!" She bowed, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Excel sniffled, "Excel is crying because she always wanted to be loved again, and it's now lonely since Junko Enoshima and Otome Saotome killed most of Excel's cast… and now I'm too happy to say it in emotions… Excel… is… WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
She bawled wildly, as Chazz tried to calm her down. He griped, "AGH! SHE CANNOT STOP! GOOD GRIEF, WHAT HAVE I DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE?"
[Excel Excel – Stand User or Nut Job?!]
All the while, Junko was perched atop the light post, as she was flabbergasted, "HOLD THE PHONE! What the fuck was that? This girl has a Stand, already? What is she? She looks like some sort of gag manga character with a huge case of ADHD! The arrow chose her, but she suddenly becomes looney?!"
She shifted to her teacher's form and said, "No, do not panic. All she did was cause a rift between Princeton and Sendo. That's still a win for despair. Although…"
She shifted to her rocker pose, as she flew off, "It's not even over yet! That oddball was simply a minor setback, but Sugar Sugar Candy Girl will slice these jerks to nothing, once they clash!"
Junko Enoshima somehow blew it with Excel, though she had no idea about her having a Stand, which she does not have.
But what IS Sugar Sugar Candy Girl? Is she another Stand User of Despair? Stay tuned!
To be continued…
