Merry Christmas to you Danganronpa fans out there!
As a Christmas treat, here's the next chapter, since I normally update every week...but I decided to bring this next chapter as thanks for your reviews and support...so here it is...
First off, many thanks to those who reviewed this fic, I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here the story gets deeper and deeper as the current story arc is underway, wherein Naegi and Kirigiri are heading to Roppongi to commence their mission to find Resuri Tonpukinsu and retrieve the last will of testament, though they would soon find out that it's not going to be an easy task...
The time now is 7:00, and the alarm clock rang, in which Kirigiri woke up and stretched her arms, as she had a peaceful sleep, and there she slowly recalled yesterday's events, and there she realized that she and Naegi are in the midst of doing a covert mission to retrieve an important item for Burusu Waino, as the tycoon had to keep up his "deceased status" so as not to alert Dereku Pawasu from suspecting anything. She now realized that this mission won't e easy and she and Naegi can't back out on this since Naegi's secret is on the line.
"Oh yeah...I guess we'll have to skip classes today..."
She then glanced at Naegi, who is still sleeping, and she sighed as she somewhat envies him at seeing that there is no hint of worry on his face, so she went to his side and gently wakes him up, and reminded him of what they are supposed to do today, in which he slowly gets up and recalled why he and Kirigiri are doing at the hotel, and the two teens began talking about what to expect today knowing that they are going on a covert mission.
"I can't believe we'd be spending the day here looking for Waino-san's doctor..."
"I know..."
"Are you upset that I agreed to this...?"
"Not really...I guess this is worth the challenge to take as a detective..."
"What if we did find her and the will...?"
"Then we give it back to Waino-san...and hopefully he keeps his word..."
"You're right..."
"Let's go, then..."
Believe It Or Not by Joey Scarbury
(Opening Song from The Greatest American Hero)
Look at what's happened to me,
I can't believe it myself;
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world,
Should've been somebody else.
Believe it or not,
I'm walkin' on air,
I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.
Just like the light of new day,
It hit me from out of the blue;
Breakin' me out of the spell I was in,
Makin' all of my wishes come true.
Believe it or not,
I'm walkin' on air,
I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.
Ch. 35: Roppongi de Sawagi
The time now is 11:30, and both Naegi and Kirigiri are still inside the hotel's room, as they are awaiting for the arrival of Rusiusu Fokusu, in which he will tell the two teens on what instructions they are to take, and the two teens waited patiently, and Naegi just puts on the red suit on his backpack and they appeared to be okay, having eaten their breakfast and yet Naegi wondered if Kitsune would really pay the hotel bills since the receptionist hasn't called them.
By then a knock on the door is heard and Kirigiri opened it, where Fokusu is standing and she motions him to come in, and there Fokusu sees that both teens are ready, and is pleased that preparation are on the way, and there he informed them that he has paid the hotel bills and said that they are going to have lunch at the ground floor's restaurant, which Naegi asks why they're having lunch this early, in which Fokusu told him that they are leaving the airport soon.
"As I told you before...we have the whole day to cover..."
"..."
"And we need to get there so that you two can commence in finding Resuri and see if she has the will...and if she do have it...you will have to prevent her from selling it..."
"I know, I know..."
"Good. We're heading out and you need food to keep up your stamina..."
"..."
"I take that as a yes..."
"..."
Kirigiri was silent as Fokusu leads the two teens out of the room and head for the elevator and soon they are at the ground floor where he led them to the restaurant and the receptionist greeted them, which Fokusu asks for a table for three and there she led them to a table where the trio took their seats and Kirigiri noted that the time now is 11:45, and asks him why leave for the airport at such an early time, in which Fokusu told her that at Roppongi, after lunch is the peak time where Pawasu's goons are manning a secret casino and that's where Tonpukinsu is likely to meet up with Pawasu, and there's the possibility where she would sell the last will of testament to him.
"...and that's why we need you to get there early..."
"...so that we would prevent her from making the transaction..."
"Right."
"What about you?"
"I can't afford to be seen...Pawasu thinks I know where the will is...and I can't let him get me..."
"So you'll be using us as bait..."
"Let's not be harsh...I already told you how things would..."
"Very well...I understand..."
And so Fokusu ordered the food and the two teens ate lunch, and by 12:30 the trio left the hotel and they went to the abandoned airport where Waino is waiting, and there Kirigiri and Naegi are told that a private pilot will take them to Roppongi, though Fokusu will accompany them there and the two teens left to head for the private plane, in which Waino and Fokusu had some words before he departed, and soon the private plane left the ground and is heading for Roppongi. Waino watches the plane leave through the window and then went back inside, as he felt that his time is getting shorter and hoped that Naegi and Kirigiri succeeded in their mission and get the last will of testament back.
-x-
About 10 minutes later, the scene shifts inside the plane, where Kirigiri is staring at the windows as Naegi took off his clothes and is putting on the red suit, and she sighed as she gets to see Naegi in the near-nude which he blushed and apologized, and wondered aloud if he would find the time in experimenting with the red suit to see if there are any other hidden powers, which Kirigiri would answer back.
"You should have figured that out when you had the time..."
"But my only free time is on weekends...and I can't let my parents suspect me of doing something silly..."
"Then you shouldn't have lost that instruction book..."
"I was drunk at that time...!"
"Then go to a secluded spot and try to experiment using your thoughts..."
"But..."
"We came this far...we can't turn back now..."
"But how do we get the will back without..."
Fokusu overheard the conversation and approached Naegi, and whispered something to him in which he told Naegi that if he concentrates and focus on a certain object, he would make his mind go "blank", then "push", and his targeted object would move, and Naegi blinked his eyes at what Fokusu just told him, and as he gave the two teens a recap on what they are going to do once they arrive at Roppongi, he went back to his seat and Naegi decided to try out what Fokusu told him and he glanced at Kirigiri, in which she noticed him staring at her.
"Naegi-kun...?"
"..."
"What are you doing?"
"Stay still..."
"Huh?"
"I'm giving it a try..."
"What are you...?"
"Mind blank...then push..."
As Naegi appeared to be focusing in staring at Kirigri, she was startled when she was levitating in the air before being thrown at the seat behind her, and there Naegi is surprised at what he just did, and tried again, where this time her skirt went up exposing her panties and she shouted at him on what he is trying to do, and there Naegi explained to her what he just did and there she asks him on why he is doing it just now.
"I...I did it...!"
"What did you do just now?"
"I used telekinesis..."
"Through the red suit...?"
"Yeah..."
"That's a first..."
"Wait...how did Fokusu know about that...?"
"!"
By then both teens went silent while staring at Fokusu, who is reading a magazine, as the two realized that Fokusu seemed to know about the "mechanics" of the red suit, and they are tempted to ask him more questions but then realized that the plane is soon about to land at a private airport in Roppongi within 10 minutes. Naegi then puts on his civilian clothes as Kirigiri prepares her bag as they are getting ready to depart from the plane.
-x-
About 15 minutes later, the scene shifts at the private airport of Roppongi, where you can see a few people are embarking and disembarking from their planes, and Naegi and Kirigiri are heading for the airport after being seen off by Kitsune and then the two exited the airport and hailed a taxi, where she asks the driver to take them to an inn which they were allowed, and during the ride, Naegi and Kirigiri are discussing about how Fokusu know about the telekinesis ability of the suit, and the driver is starting to get bothered at what he perceives as a "crazy talk".
"I guess Fokusu must have been watching me all this time when using the suit..."
"But it doesn't add up..."
"Huh?"
"How did he know about the suit's telekinesis?"
"What are you...?"
"What you did on the plane is based on what Fokusu told you before you tried it..."
"Then...wait...I'm getting something..."
"Naegi-kun...?"
By then, Naegi gets a "holographic image" via the taxi's mirror, where it shows that a limousine appeared as Fokusu is about to board his plane, and several men came out and abducted Fokusu, causing Naegi to tell her what he "saw", and the taxi driver freaked out and ordered the two teens to get out, terrified that the passengers may be high on drugs, and there Naegi removed his clothes and the driver saw him wearing the red suit, and he became more terrified and drives off, and Naegi told Kirigiri to go ahead as he ran off and jumped, flying to the air, only to hit a high lamp post and he fell down onto a bush, and Kirigiri sighed at seeing what Naegi just did.
-x-
Several minutes later, after settling in on a nearby inn, the two teens decided to stick to the instructions that Fokusu told them and the two went to what appeared to be a local joint, where it is soon revealed to be a secret casino where wealthy businessmen came and gamble, and it was thriving, and Naegi was surprised that no one from Roppongi's local authorities seem to notice this and Kirigiri deduced that Pawasu may have some connections with some of the police, and this may explain why the casino would continue uninterrupted.
"This place...it's thriving..."
"Indeed..."
"Then how come...?"
"Dereku Pawasu..."
"Huh?"
"He appeared to have some influence with this area's police..."
"You mean...?"
"Yes...I believe Pawasu gave the police some bribe to keep their mouths shut...and thus the joints like these continue to thrive without interruption..."
By then they saw a gambling game where a ball would be spun around a wheel, and there she noticed that gamblers were losing the bets and she sensed that something is amiss and whispered to Naegi about it, and she asks him to they to get a holographic projection on that table which Naegi reluctantly did, and soon he discovered that the table where the spinning ball game is rigged, where a button is secretly attached and with a press of a button, this would cause the ball to jump and land onto a random number, thus the gambler would easily lose the bet, thus the betting supervisor would reap the collection non-stop.
As Naegi whispered to her what he discovered, Kirigiri decided that they should split up and look for one of Pawasu's men so that once they find him, they can try and capture him and extract information, and as she is loitering around, the joint's owner, who is revealed to be a close aide of Pawasu, noticed her, and though he wanted to dismiss it as a mere minor, he would soon realized that she is Fuhito's granddaughter, and he secretly called Dereku Pawasu and told him about the situation and the two would exchange words.
"...and that's the situation, boss..."
"Blast it!"
"Boss...?"
"Catch her and take her some place!"
"And?"
"Waste her! Kill her! do whatever you can! We can't let her blab her way to the authorities outside Roppongi! It'll be a problem for us if she opens her mouth to someone!"
"You sure, boss?"
"Of course!"
Fearing that she might expose the joint's secret casino despite having police protection, Pawasu ordered his aide to have his men take her somewhere and kill her off, and the aide nodded and summoned his goons and told them who their target is, and as the goons began looking for Kirigiri, the aide noticed that Naegi is also loitering, and seeing him as an eyesore, as well as seeing that he doesn't seem to be gambling, he ordered another set of goons to throw Naegi out, and the goons nodded, and they soon approached Naegi and carried him by his arms and headed for the back exit.
"Hey!"
"Come on, kid..."
"Let's go..."
"What did I do?"
"You're loitering around..."
"It's against the rules..."
"You didn't have to drag me...!"
"Sorry, kid..."
"No minors allowed..."
The goons then threw Naegi out and he collided with some trash cans and luckily, he was wearing the red suit underneath his clothes thus he is unharmed, and he began to find a way to get back in as Kirigiri is still inside the joint. However, he noticed that the goons who threw him out are now guarding the back door, so he has to think of a way to get back in without attracting attention, as he is worried about what situation Kirigiri would get herself in.
Meanwhile, inside, Kirigiri is standing at a corner looking around, and she noticed that Naegi is nowhere in sight and she wondered if he ran into some trouble, and by then she noticed that several henchmen arrived and surrounded her, and she sensed that she is about to get into trouble as she noticed that the patrons of this joint appeared to be ignorant and are focused only on gambling and winning money, not noticing the commotion in front of them.
"Kyoko Kirigiri..."
"Sorry, missy..."
"We can't let you loiter around here..."
"Hey!"
"We got something in store for you..."
"And it's gonna be on the house...!"
"Let go of me!"
"No can do..."
"No one's gonna help you..."
As Kirigiri is about to take action, the goons held her and the rest used their bodies to cover up the scene as one of them punched her on her gut and she is weakened and there the goons dragged her away towards the backdoor and carried her inside a waiting car, just as Naegi saw what is happening and is about to go help her when two goons blocked his path and held him, and the car left in an instant and Naegi is now worried at what they are about to do to her. Left with no choice, Naegi removes his trench coat and the goons are baffled to see him wearing the red suit and cape, and as they are about to attack him, Naegi went on the move, moving at fat speed and delivered a single punch, sending them colliding against the wall, knocking them out, then he gets a holographic image revealing where the other goons took Kirigiri and Naegi then ran before jumping in the air, flying as he went towards where Kirigiri is taken.
-x-
Several minutes later, the scene shifts to a mountainous area where the car stopped and the goons are dragging a weakened Kirigiri, and they are carrying a shovel as they intend to bury her alive, and she is mentally wondering where Naegi is, and the goons snickered as they find her attractive yet they had to obey their employer in order to keep the secret casino a secret, thus they told her that it is nothing personal about what they are about to do her.
"Sorry, missy..."
"..."
"Nothing personal..."
"We're just following orders..."
"We can't let a cu detective like you spilling the beans about the joint..."
"..."
"At least you get to go to heaven..."
"When you're dead..."
As the goons began digging a hole, the rest are restraining Kirigiri, and by then Naegi arrived, landing badly over the car's hood, surprising the goons and there Naegi went into action as he began fighting off the goons, and despite the goons using shovels, they were no match for the Luckster and they were beaten and hurt badly, But then one of the goons took a shovel and is about to struck him and Naegi began using the telekinesis that he figured a the plane earlier.
"Mind blank...push..."
The suit's telekinesis activated and the goon was thrown back, and he and the other goons got spooked and they decided to retreat to their car and speed away, but the driver decided to take a risk and went towards Naegi, intending to run him over, but Naegi crossed his arms and duck, and the car struck the teen, but the car was instead thrown over and spun around until hitting the ground, and the impact caused an explosion, charring and killing all the goons inside and Naegi checked on Kirigiri, who has slowly recovered.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes, Naegi-kun..."
"Are you hurt?"
"Not really?"
"What now?"
"There's no car...and we'll have to get back to the city..."
"But how?"
"We'll have to walk..."
Seeing that there is nothing much they can do, the two teens decided to move on and try to find a way to get back to the city and resume finding Resuri and get the will back and return it to Waino.
