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 still stuck in the "mission" they are tasked to do, but soon they are about to discover something that would connect to their current situation and would partially make some sense as far as Naegi is concerned...

And a Danganronpa 2 character makes an appearance here...so you get to see one once the next story arc is approaching...

Here it is...the final chapter of 2015...red on and enjoy!

The scene shifts to the streets of Tokyo, where a young girl is walking, and she appeared to be that of a 17-year old teenager. She has short, light pink hair which is slightly curled. She wears a white clip in the shape of the spaceship from Galaga to the side of her face and has pale pink eyes. She wears an unzipped dark green hoodie which has pointed ears on the top of her hood and two pink markings on the front.

This girl is often seen wearing a pink cat-like backpack as well. Under her hoodie, she wears a white buttoned shirt with a pink ribbon and a pale brown skirt. She also wears black thigh highs and white shoes.

She is identified as Chiaki Nanami, and she studies at Hope's Peak Academy, and is given the title of "Super Duper High School Gamer", due to her talent in video games. Chiaki normally has a quiet and sleepy disposition, but she becomes a lot more lively when discussing games and concentrates hard when playing. She often uses gaming terms and game references. She has a number of unusual habits, such as dozing off while playing games and taking long pauses during her conversations to think about everything she wants to say. She sometimes even sleeps while standing and forgets to breath when she's playing games.

Chiaki is very calm and she once mentioned that she has never screamed. She often helps Hajime Hinata during class trials and provides important points. She can be stern and bluntly honest, at times forgetting to take other people's feelings into consideration.

While Chiaki is extremely observant and analytical. She doesn't really understand how romantic love works and she is curious about it. She also feels a bit uncomfortable around animals, because they're unpredictable and feel warm when touched, which is "a bit scary" in her opinion.

As Chiaki is walking towards an internet cafe to play a newly released online game, a van is seen following her and soon it zoomed past her and stopped on the side where three soldiers came out and grabbed Chiaki and is forcing her to get inside the van, scaring her and she tries to resist their advances and tries to scream out for help.

"What the...?"

"You..."

"...come with us..."

"Let go of me!"

"Sorry, miss..."

"Nothing personal..."

"EEEEKKKK! HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME!"

"Quick...gag her..."

Her cry for help was quickly thwarted as she was gagged and loaded inside the van and the vehicle makes a quick getaway and the incident seemingly went ignored due to some ignorance from passerby as they felt that it was not their place to question what just happened and they continued with their daily lives and did not bother to report to the nearest police station about what they just saw a while ago.

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. 36: Saigo no Ishi

Much later, the scene shifts to the corporate building in Roppongi, where the father and son team of Dereku and Pakuson Pawasu are there, as they were debriefed via a phone call that Fokusu is captured and that the two teen "troublemakers" are "taken cared of", and now the two are left discussing on how and where to start finding Waino's last will of testament, in which they could use it to expand their financial empire and make a lot of money, and the two are now discussing on torturing Fokusu in revealing the will's whereabouts so they can make their next move.

"So you got Fokusu, dad?"

"Yes..."

"So what next? We still haven't found the will..."

"We'll torture Fokusu in to telling us where the will is..."

"Save it, dad...I doubt Fokusu know about it...and if he do know...I don't think he's willing to cooperate..."

"Stop being a pessimist and try to be optimistic for once, Pakuson..."

"Look, dad...I..."

"I know what I'm doing...so why don't you just shut up and..."

By then the telephone rang and Dereku answered it, in which his secretary spoke and told him that someone wants to make an appointment with him, which Dereku was uninterested at the moment, and told his secretary to get rid of the visitor, but changed his mind when told of who the visitor is and told him that the visitor is claiming that she has brought something that even he couldn't resist, and Pakuson was listening to his father and secretary's conversation.

"The visitor is...what...?"

"Yes, sir...her name is Resuri Tonpukinsu...and she said that she is Burusu Waino's personal doctor..."

"She's alone...?"

"Yes sir...should I tell her that you're unavailable..."

"No...let her in..."

"Sir?"

"Tell her that I would entertain her..."

"Very well..."

Dereku then told the secretary to let the visitor in, and soon the visitor entered Dereku's office, who turn out to be none other than Resuri Tonpukinsu, and she bowed to him and is holding what appeared to be a handbag and told him that she wished to do business with which the two men are staring at her with curiosity and are wondering what she has something in store for them and why would she said that she wanted to do business with them

-x-

The next scene shows that both Dereku and Pakuson are staring at Resuri, in which she is standing before them, and a rather awkward silence ensured in which she is staring at them with a certain intent, and Pakuson is starting to get rather impatient, wondering why Barusu Waino's personal doctor wanted to meet with him and his dad, and is tempted to deal with her but Dereku held him back, and there he initiated the discussion and asks why she came all the way here just to meet with him and what kind of business she wished to transact with him.

"So, Miss Tonpukinsu...what brings you here to my humble office...?"

"I have something to offer you..."

"Excuse me?"

"A business proposition if I may...and this offer is something you couldn't resist..."

"Really...? And what would that might be...?"

"The last will of Burusu Waino..."

"What did you say...?"

"You heard me..."

Resuri said that she claims that she can help him get the last will that has eluded him for the past few weeks and said that she is willing to tell him where to find it and can give it to him if he is willing to pay her a certain amount, which Pakuson finds it absurd and borders on extortion, but Dereku appeared to be a bit skeptical at this yet he is willing to take a risk and gamble on it if it would help him get his hands to the last will of testament and spoke to Resuri and said that he is willing to meet her price if she means what she said.

"Do you know what you're trying to say...?"

"Yes."

"You know where the last will is?"

"Yes...I do..."

"And how would I know if you're telling the truth?"

"You'll just have to trust me..."

"Are you sure?"

"If you're interested, that is..."

Dereku said that he is having second thoughts about accepting her terms claiming that Fokusu is in their hands and are about to interrogate him but Resuri said that interrogating Fokusu is useless as he himself doesn't know where the last will is, and said that she can tell him where he can find the last will if he accepts her terms and offer and Dereku appeared conflicted and there Pakuson began berating Resuri and said that she is lying about it and yet Resuri rebutted Pakuson's claims, igniting an argument between the two as Dereku is conflicted and tries to pacify the two warring individuals before the shouting reaches the ears of his secretary.

"Look here, you old hag...!"

"I beg your pardon?"

"You think you can just waltz here and claim to know where the last will is? Who are you fooling with?!"

"I did not come here to pull a practical joke on you..."

"Why don't you get the hell out of here and..."

"If I see that this is a time waster on your father's part...then I will leave..."

"Leave now or else I'll call security..."

"Foolish boy..."

Dereku then stepped forward and urged the two to calm down and told Resuri that he is willing to accept her offer and asks her how much does she want in exchange for the last will, in which she said that she wants at least ten million Yen, and Pakuson was livid at the offer yet she said that with the illegal casinos that the Pawasu's set up, they have earned more than 10 billion Yen and managed to get away with it, and the offer she asks is "half the price", and Dereku reluctantly accepted and he went to the office's vault and brought out the money, counting it and placing it in a briefcase which Resuri watches to see if the money was counted correctly.

After seeing that all the money is loaded into the briefcase, Resuri requested to Dereku to accompany her down at the parking area, which he reluctantly accepted and the two left the office as Pakuson stayed behind, as he is suspicious as what to Resuri is up to, and after a few minutes, the scene shifts to the parking area where Resuri stood in front of her car, where Dereku is still waiting for her answer as he is starting to back out of his deal as he is still holding the briefcase and asks her again where can he find Waino's last will of testament.

"Wait..."

"What is it, Dereku?"

"I fulfilled my bargain...what about yours?"

"Oh, that..."

"Well...?"

"Very well..."

"Huh?"

"Here..."

Resuri smirked as she took out something from her handbag and brought out a hand-sized envelope and told him that inside the envelope is the Waino's last will, and Dereku examined the contents and is rather ecstatic that the document he has been searching is now in his hands and he gave her the briefcase and Resuri thanked him and took the briefcase and boarded her car then left the area, as Dereku hurriedly went back inside the corporate building to make preparations on how to use the last will to his and Pakuson's advantage.

-x-

At the other scene Kirigiri and Naegi walked off after she used her cellphone to call the highway patrol group to pick up the remains of the goons that abducted her, and seeing that staying here would impede their mission, she and Naegi hurriedly left the scene knowing there is nothing more they can do except resume their mission - find Resuri and regain the last will of testament and return it to Waino. Little do they know that they are already too late as the two teens are walking the highway and are exploring options on how to get back to the abandoned airport and tell Waino about Fokusu being abducted, and their encounter with some goons who are under Pawasu's employ.

"Kirigiri-san..."

"..."

"What should we do?"

"We have no options...we'll have to go back to Tokyo and tell Waino-san about what happened..."

"Do we have to walk our way back there?"

"Given the area we are in...and seeing that there's no passing car...yes."

"..."

"Unless you want to go the the police cars back there and show them the red suit you are wearing..."

As the two teens walked farther away, both can hear the faint sounds of sirens, and they knew that the police have arrived and Kirigiri turns off her cellphone so that she and Naegi won't be traced should the police decided to try and contact her to get some answers. The two teens walked farther away and looked behind them to see if any police car is driving around as she is trying to keep Naegi out of sight given that he is wearing the "red suit" and cape, and she knew it would spell trouble if any prying eyes catch sight of him and mistook him for a "nutcase" in cosplay. They walked the road for 20 minutes and Naegi is starting to get worried and Kirigiri asks him for an alternative.

He is starting to think of something so that she wouldn't suggest that he go flying as he doesn't want to show up at a city wearing the "red suit", and there she suggested that they try and hitch a ride, much to his exasperation knowing that he did not have any spare clothing to hide the suit he is wearing, and feared that he would definitely be mistaken for a mental case and talked to her and suggested a different approach though she tried, she sees no other option other than hitching a ride from a passing car, and he realized that there is no other way. Going back to the crash site where the police are there is out of the question and he did not want to get questioned on why he is walking around in broad daylight wearing the RED SUIT.

"Eh? You got to be kidding me, Kirigiri-san!"

"You have any other suggestion?"

"You can't expect me to fly!"

"That's something even I don't want to use that suggestion..."

"But...hitching a ride...while wearing this suit..."

"Remove the cape and drape it on your shoulders...it'll make other drivers think you're a jogger...that's the only way to lessen the suspicions toward you..."

"Ohh...fine."

"Good decision, Naegi-kun..."

Their argument ended as Naegi reluctantly accepted her suggestion that they walked the road and hoped for a passing vehicle to pass by and try to hitch a ride back to the main road and hoped that the driver who would be willing to give the teens a ride wouldn't question Naegi on why he is wearing the RED SUIT and why is he walking like that at this time.

-x-

At the corporate building, Dereku is pleased that the document he is holding is indeed Barusu Waino's last will of testament and with it he can try and use it to gain access to Waino's fortune and use it to expand his illegal financial empire and Pakuson is equally pleased, though he questioned on why his dad is willing to shell out a lot of money just to get his hands on the last will, and asks him if it is okay to spend a lot over that document, though he is taken aback at seeing his dad laughing maniacally as he began addressing his son's queries and told him what he just did before making the transaction.

"I have it...the last will!"

"So you did have it..."

"See, Pakuson? I knew I can get it..."

"But dad..."

"What?"

"You had to spend 10 million just for that?"

"A small price...but it's worth it..."

"How?"

Dereku revealed that before giving Resuri the briefcase, he secretly planted a timer bomb underneath her car's gas tank compartment and watches her leave, telling Pakuson that giving her the money is a "small price" and that with the last will in his hands, he can make up for the small loss and glanced at his watch, telling Pakuson that within a few minutes their problems will be over, and Pakuson smiled seeing how brilliant his dad is and now nobody will question on how the Pawsu empire would become richer and richer.

-x-

At the highway, Naegi and Kirigiri are still walking, and Naegi felt bad luck hitting him as several cars passed by, and though Kirigiri did a thumb sign to signify hitching a ride, none of the passing drivers paid heed to her and went their way, and though Naegi is not pleased, he chose to remain optimistic and hoped that someone would be kind enough to give him and Kirigiri a ride back to the city, and she is rather relieved to see that Naegi is not uttering a single complaint, and assured to him that things will turn out fine.

"..."

"Be patient, Naegi-kun..."

"..."

"We'll get back to the city..."

"..."

"Trust me on this..."

"...Okay..."

"Good...here comes a car..."

By then a car passed by them and Kirigiri tries to thumb a ride, but the driver ignored her, as the driver turn out to be Resuri, as she is in a hurry to get back to her hideout to count the money she took and use it to move out of Japan so that no one would find her, but unknown to her, the timer bomb is ticking away, and about three minutes from where Naegi and Kirigiri are standing, the car exploded, which took the two teens by surprise, and this prompted them to head to the scene where the car is bursting into flames.

To Be Continued...

Hope you liked this chapter and while there is no action here, it did highlight the last will, and Resuri paid the price for her greed, and there's no telling if she could survive such a tragic moment. Naegi and Kirigiri are there and they may be Resuri's only hope of survival.

Also, Chiaki nanami makes a cameo here and she may be a pivotal character in the upcoming next story arc...so a little patience and you'll get to see her soon...

Preview:

The story arc concludes in the next chapter, in which Naegi and Kirigiri makes a startling discovery about Burusu Waino, and it would show a certain part of his past on how and why he knows about Naegi's red suit and how it works...and where would this lead to now that Dereku has the last will...

See you in 2016...in 10 days or less
