A day passed after Kaguya's execution. The students could now access to the third floor of Hope's Peak.
The main new rooms were three, The Rec room (filled with various games), the Art room and the Physics Lab, there was an air purifier. Aoi didn't join the exploration with the others because she said that she wasn't feeling so good.
But, when Giorno was exploring the Art room warehouse, he found a bizarre photo. It was a photo depicting Izuku, Jolyne and Ren having fun togheter. Giorno was a lot confused from the picture. How is it possible that they were in this photo if they were strangers until the start of the Killing Game? Unfortunately, Monokuma stole the photo from Giorno's hand nearly immediately and left.
After the exploration, the surviving students held a meeting in the dining hall. With the surprise of the others, Aoi was already there.
"So, fellow students, report what you've found during the exploration of the third floor." said Valentine.
"There's a recreation room. Filled with games and magazines. Looks like we're not going to die from boredom." said Lelouch.
"There's also a big machine in the Physics laboratory. I asked Monokuma and he told me that the machine is a air purifer." said Chihiro.
"There's also an Art room. It's filled with various tools for drawing." said Josuke.
"Also, there's something bizarre i've found in the warehouse." said Giorno.
"What is it?" asked L.
"It's a photo...depicting Jolyne, Izuku and Ren togheter. It looked like they were in a class without iron slates on the windows." said Giorno.
Everyone was surprised and confused.
"So that means that photo was not taken at Hope's Peak." said L.
"How is it possible? We were complete strangers until we were kidnapped." said Valentine.
"Yeah! I mean, Jolyne lived in Florida until she got the letter from Hope's Peak!" said Josuke.
"Perhaps it's a fake photo made by Monokuma." said Lelouch.
"It's plausible." said L.
"Anyway, Aoi, why are you here? Didn't you say you had a stomach ache?" said Tanya.
"Huh? Eh, well... When I have a stomach ache I'm always want to eat some donuts." Aoi had been taken by surprise.
"You're lying, didn't you?" said Lelouch.
"Eh?! How can you say that?!" said Aoi.
"I'm good at detecting if someone's lying. So, you weren't in your room, correct? Then, where were you when we were exploring the third floor?" asked Lelouch.
"I...I was exploring too. The infirmary on the first floor it's now open." said Aoi. "And also, I've found something weird last time in bathroom...Even if you wouldn't believe me..."
"What do you mean?" asked Tanya.
"Last night I was hungry so I was going to the dining hall until I saw a light from the bathhouse...There was girl with green eyes and brown hair...I think it was a ghost." said Aoi.
"D-Don't be silly, ghosts don't e-exist..." said Touko.
"...I think you misunderstood, Aoi." said Chihiro.
"Eh?" said Aoi.
"Here, follow me!" Everyone followed Chihiro into the bathhouse where he pointed at one of the lockers (who was already opened) and inside of it there was a laptop.
"That's the laptop we found in the library." said L.
"What, that laptop that didn't turn on?" said Giorno.
"Yeah, but Chihiro fixed it."
"I've fixed it and installed on it an AI I was working on. Guys, meet Monitor Kernel Access, AKA Monika!" Chihiro turned on the laptop and clicked on the icon "Monitor Kernel Access".
Then, on the screen, a green-eyed girl with brown haired tied up in a high ponytail and with a white bow appeared.
"Welcome back, Master!" she said.
Chihiro typed on the keyboard.
"Sorry if I left you here, Monika. I know you don't like being alone."
"Oh, don't worry! I'm okay being alone if it's needed." said Monika.
"That's the ghost Aoi saw last night?" asked Josuke. Aoi nodded.
"So, who -or what- is Monika?" asked Giorno.
Chihiro typed again on the keyboard.
"Could introduce yourself to the others?"
"Sure! My name's Monika, an self-learning A.I. Nice to meet you!" said Monika.
"I hid her here since this is the only room without surveillance cameras. S-Sorry if she scared you, Aoi." said Chihiro.
"Oh! It's okay, Chihiro." said Aoi.
"Can I write something?" asked L.
"Sure!" Chihiro passed the laptop to L.
The latter typed on the keyboard.
"What are you doing on this laptop?"
"I'm currently analyzing the files located on the hard-disk of this laptop. It's bit hard to do so since they're veeeeeeeeeeeeery encrypted." said Monika. "Even though I think they're related to the mess of a situation you're currently in."
"Huh. She sure is lively." said Tanya.
"Even if she isn't a human." said Lelouch.
"That's because Monika is a "Strong AI". In short, she's sentient and has a mind on her own.
"So that means she knows that she isn't a human?" asked Valentine, who isn't very good with technology.
"Correct." said Chihiro.
L typed again on the keyboard.
"Please, continue to analyze the files."
"Okay! I'll do my best!" said Monika. "See you soon!"
Everyone left the bathouse.
"Hurray! I did something useful!" Aoi was happy that she noticed last night Monika.
But suddenly, Monokuma appeared.
"Dun dun dun duuuuuun! Aoi Asahina has gained enough experience to level up! So, what have you done?"
Everyone was surprised.
"You all seems in good spirits. Did something happened?!" asked Monokuma.
"N-No, nothing in particular!" said Josuke.
"Oh, keeping secrets? No fair! I demand an exclusive interview!" said Monokuma.
"Denied. Fatti gli affari tuoi*, Monokuma." said Giorno.
*It means "Mind your own business" in Italian.
"L-Like hell we will!" said Touko.
"Oh, don't worry. We were just talking about going to the bathhouse. Since we haven't got a chance to relax in a while." Lelouch lied as naturally as he breathed.
"Huh?" said Monokuma.
"Unfortunately, it wasn't divided into men and women section. So, we decided which group should go first by playing rock-paper-scissors. Aoi won for the girls against Josuke, so that's why she's happy." Lelouch continued.
"Y-Yeah, that's right!" said Aoi.
"Yup, I lost unfortunately..." said Josuke.
"Well, gentlemen, let's head on back to the dining hall, while we wait for the ladies." said Valentine.
The girls went back into the dressing room. Chihiro (since he's boy, but he's dressed as a girl) said that he didn't want to go.
The boy were going to the dining hall until Monokuma stopped them.
"Hooooold on! Something's strange...VERY strange!" he said.
"Oh, what now?!" said Giorno.
"What's strange is, this is the perfect chance for you to take a sneak peek!"
The boys were surprised. Some of them were disgusted, some of them were deadpan and some of them's faces were as red as a tomato.
"...You aren't thinking about going there, are you?" said Giorno, seeing Josuke that, even if he was embarassed, was tempted to peeking at the girls.
"W-What?! No! I'm not my old man!" said Josuke.
"Listen to me! An opportunity like this doesn't come along very often...it's the ideal setting of a male's fantasy!" said Monokuma.
"I said no." Giorno and Josuke returned to the dining hall.
The girls returned from the bath and Everyone went to sleep.
The next day, something bizarre happened.
Giorno woke up and immediately realized that something was wrong with his voice.
"What?!" Giorno looked at the mirror and found his body different. His face was thinner and, since his clothes has a heart-opening in the chest area, he noticed that he has now breasts.
"Ma...che...diavolo?!*" said Giorno. Then he heard Monokuma annoucent that summons Everyone to the gym.
*it means "What the hell?!" in Italian.
When he arrived, he also found the others in the same situation: Everyone was genderswapped.
"What the hell just happened to us?!" said Josuke, also genderswapped.
"Probably it's the next motive that Monokuma gave us." said a girl with long, messy black hair and with deep eye bags. That person was L.
"H-How did he genderswapped u-us?!" said a genderswapped Touko.
"I wonder, too..." said Lelouch.
Monokuma appeared on the stage.
"Upupupu...So, do you like your situations? This is the third motive of this Killing Game. Geeeeeeeeeenderswap!" said Monokuma.
"It was you, you bastard! Turn us back to normal!" said Josuke.
"Nope! Only if someone commits a murder! Now, have fun with your brand new body. Remember: If you don't want to be stuck in a genderswapped body, kill someone! Byeeee!" Monokuma left.
Everyone left.
Giorno decided to spending some time with Tanya in the rec room, playing pool togheter.
"GioGio, can I ask you a question?" asked Tanya.
"Sure." said Giorno.
"You told me about those "stands", remember? Are there other people like you?" she asked.
"Yes there are. Josuke, Yoshikage, Jolyne and Valentine are Stand Users." he explained. "Each stand are different with various abilities, they usually reflect the user's personality..."
The two continued to talk.
"Whew, we talked for a while, didn't we? Well, at least it made our situation more "pleasant"." said Giorno.
"I agree. Giorno Giovanna, Ultimate GangStar...He seems like he's a nice fellow. The girl who'll marry him in the future will likely be a lucky person.." she thought. "Well, see you soon." The two left and went to their room.
Josuke trained with Chihiro (who now, ironically, looks like a guy.)
L and Aoi went for a swim togheter.
"Thank you for letting borrow your swimsuit, Aoi." said L.
"No worries! Also, I want to ask you something." said a genderswapped Aoi.
"Hmm?" said L.
"What.. do you think about me?" Aoi became shy.
"I think you're a nice person to talk with." said L.
"N-Not like that! What do you think of me...as a woman?" Aoi blushed.
"It's hard to say if you're currently looking like a boy." said L.
"C-Come on!"
"Alright Alright. But still, why are you asking me something like that?"
"Well, people says that I'm not very ladylike... And I mean, I can't really disagree. All I'm good at is sports, exercise, physical stuff... But maybe that's just because I've never actually been in love! How can I say that i'm a woman if I never been in love?" Aoi took L by the hand. "So that's why...I want you to be my...boyfriend."
L's classic impassive expression has became an expression of genuine confusion.
"...What."
"Wait, that's sounds wrong! I-I didn't mean like that! Not like my "real" boyfriend! Just, like, practice run!" Aoi tried to justify herself.
"...So, are you saying that I'm should pretend to be your boyfriend so you can train yourself to be a good girlfriend when you will fall in love?" said L.
"That's right!" said Aoi.
L sighed. "Fine, then. When we'll return back to normalI will help you." he said.
"Hurray! Thanks, L!" said Aoi.
"But don't blame me if you eventually end up falling in love with me." said L, sarcastic.
"H-Hey!" Aoi blushed from embarassment.
"I'm joking, I'm joking." he said.
The two "practiced" being a lovely couple, they ended up having fun.
"Hehe, that was really fun! Thanks, L! Now, I have to go." said Aoi.
"Really? Well, then." said L.
"Yup, I have to go." Aoi eyes turned red. "I have to go to a place."
Aoi left, while L's suspects raised.
Meanwhile, Lelouch wanted to talk with Loid and Yoshikage in private.
"What do you need, Lelouch?" asked Loid.
"Well, you see..."on Lelouch's left eye a red symbol that looked like a "V" appeared.
"I would like to ask you something." he said.
The next day, when Everyone got in the dining hall, they noticed that two people were missing.
Everyone split up to search them, they divided into two groups
But they found two corpses in two different rooms on the third floor. Giorno's group found Yoshikage's body in the rec room while L's group found Aoi's body in the Art room storage.
A day passed after Kaguya's execution. The students could now access to the third floor of Hope's Peak.
