That1guyeveryonehates: "Hmm he's an interesting character to portray, and he does have an ego so who knows? Yay I'm at the world of living!"

Trixielulamoon323: "It's because we're in the world of stories where stuff always happens unlike reality, my dear! Yes, exactly my point! You would be a good assistant to spy for ship teases... Well, everyone has to stay strong, and Aika won't back down and lose to Monokuma, now would she?"

Makoto ran around the hallways alongside Rina, who were both a bit, well, too frantic and energetic to find themselves in a floor of vending machines, an amusement park, a dojo, a swimming pool, and wait... Was that a cinema with popcorn and red velvet cushioned seats? Makoto stopped in his tracks, panting and gasping from air. Ah, damn. I knew I shouldn't run! And it's like... Only eight in the morning! "It's weird," Makoto started with a lazy childish smile. "That Monokuma would actually keep this place..."

"No, no," Kazuho bluntly said, raising his hand to speak. "I heard alongside Stellar and Tiki that Monokuma built this place. This floor was originally just a place for more trial rooms and books about defendants and attorneys."

Ayano crookedly smiled, scratching his head. "Then this makes perfect sense, I guess. I thought it was weird for a law school to have these..." Ayano silently cursed himself for saying this by biting his inner lip. "...immature places."

"It's not immature!" Aika cried as he nudged Ayano in the elbow. "Ow! Aika..." Ayano softly replied as he rubbed the new bruise on his right elbow. Aika smiled deviously at him, but then turned to CJ, Juugo, Stellar, and Toby, asking, "So are you guys going to the amusement park...or somewhere else?"

CJ shrugged, brushing her hair with her hands. She hasn't neatly did her hair since this morning, and her fiery hair was flowing all over the place. The students refused to point this out, given CJ's harsh nature. The only person who did decided to tell her was none other than Constantine, and CJ briefly gave her a deadly glare before combing her hair. "To be honest, I don't exactly care. All I care is investigating the place."

"We can go to the cinema," Stellar suggested with a small smile, making CJ crinkle her nose with a frown. Stellar awkwardly laughed to herself. "I don't know. It depends on you then, Juugo, Toby."

Toby sighed. "Like CJ said, I don't really care where we're gonna go."

Juugo, however, replied, "The cinema it is then," and he quietly walked towards the cinema, making the rest of his group scurry over to follow the quite rude strategist. Makoto watched as they left, then turned towards his own group, Rina, Constantine, and Tomoe. He leniently replied, "Hmm. Where do you wanna go guys?"

"My group's going to the amusement park!" Aika quickly interrupted, ignoring the sounds of Takane and Malcolm groaning from displeasure, either tired of walking around or annoyed at Aika's loud voice. She quickly grabbed ahold of Ayano's hand as she walked towards the door to the amusement park. "Hmph! Let's go now Ayano-chan!"

Ayano laughed at Aika's immaturity. "Hahaha..." He then frowned, noticing something, and he quickly blushed. "W-wait! Did you just call me Ayano..." He gulped as the blush on his face grew deeper. "Ayano-chan?"

"Haha, is there a problem with that? It's good to call you that, and besides, you know of my past and I know of your's, so it's final! I'm calling you Ayano-chan from now on!" Aika responded with a smile as she dragged her group away. "Er..." Malcolm and Takane shrugged, glancing at one another, trying to say something but holding their heads in defeat, following Aika's steps into the park. Makoto and his group looked at one another, and laughed unintentionally.

"Guess the cinema and the amusement park's taken," Rina started with a huge grin as if she didn't care about the world around her. "Soooo... Mako, where do you wanna go?"

"Oh! Stealing my habit of giving nicknames, Rin-rin?" Makoto replied with a playful chuckle, ignoring Rina's question. Constantine and Tomoe sighed. They couldn't take anymore nicknames or jokes anymore. They both knew it was an antidote so they can forget about the trial, but the nicknames sounded so cliched and cheesy. And these two, being who they are, couldn't handle such nicknames any longer. "Whatever then. Consta, Tomo, where do you wanna go?"

Constantine crossed her arms and she first stated, "Don't give me nicknames, Makoto." She watched Makoto nod awkwardly, and then sighed in disdain. "The rooms that are not taken are the dojo, garden, the spa, the barn, a quiet store with all kinds of clothes and accessories, and the swimming pool. Now, who wants to go to where?"

"I think we should check the store first," Tomoe suggested with a dull tone of voice, even though he was awkwardly suggesting it. "Cause, well, maybe it has something we might need in the future? I mean, we need more clothes."

"Oh yeah!" Rina replied, forgetting that one easily forgotten fact. "We do need more clothes! Monokuma only gave us nothing at all except a swimwear, and the clothes we wore since day one are the ones we're wearing today!"

"I admit wearing the same clothes..." Constantine wrinkled her nose. "Disgusts me."

Makoto smiled, declaring, "So, we all agree to going to the store?" The rest of his group nodded in response. Makoto turned towards the last group, consisting of Kazuho, Tiki, Paul, and Shizu, and he replied, "Hey guys! Shizu-chan! Kazu! Ti-ku! Paul-kun! We're going to the store!"

Shizu nodded, shouting, "I got you!"

Makoto smiled at her innocently as he left with his group, running after them, shouting at them about how they just left him out of nowhere. "Hey! Are you trying to leave me behind?! Tomo get back here! Ri-ri?! Consta you jerk! Hey wait up!" Shizu carefully examined Makoto as he left, femininely smiling a little. Kazuho, noticing this, couldn't help but reply, "Are you okay? Interested in the detective?" Shizu jumped from her position, and glancing at Kazuho in shock, replied, "N-no! Of course not!" Those words seemed to make Kazuho sneer a little, and Shizu even noticed Tiki smiling for a moment. She sighed, now trying to steer off the topic by saying, "Where are we going to go to investigate?"

Kazuho thought for a bit, frowning as he carefully thought things through, and begin replying. "The garden is connected to the barn." He showed Paul and the rest his ID, which perfectly indicates that the garden is connected close to the barn.

Paul stared at the ID before muttering, "So, are we going there?"

"Mhm." Kazuho shrugged. "Well, it depends on you guys, like most people said."

"I'm perfectly fine with it," Paul replied, looking at Kazuho as if he didn't expect the archer to say such a thing. Kazuho blinked, ignoring Paul's expression as he then turned towards the two girls.

Tiki smiled awkwardly. "Of course I'm fine with it! T-there's no need to ask for someone's opinion, Kazuho."

Shizu nodded. "Okay, the garden it is."

And so, the students walked towards their destination.

(Stellar's Group - Cinema)

Toby eyed the small Monokuma robot who was behind the cashier. "Upupupupu! So, what movie do you want to watch?" Toby blinked for a while, examining every inch of the Monokuma robot. It was real. It sounded like him. It looked like him. And it wasn't him. Toby needed to see this Monokuma's personality, so he mocked him by replying, "Upupupupu! Well, I want to watch this movie!" Toby pointed to a movie that was titled, "Detective Conan - Movie 7." He stared at the title, thinking, Oh... Does he even bother with finding the names of the actual title?!

"Upupupu! Pissing me off, aren't ya, Toby?!" Toby jumped, seeing the Monokuma robot suddenly scraping its claws. Toby thought the robot would pounce at him, but the robot immediately grabbed the Monokuma Dollars from Toby's hands and shoved the tickets to his face. "Thank you for your purchase!" Toby quickly scurried away from the enraged robot. Okay. So even these Monokuma robots have a personality...

"Did you get the tickets?" CJ asked as she examined the two Monokuma robots putting a batch of popcorn into the paper bag and gently handing it to her. "Oh, thank you."

"I did," Toby quickly replied, not wanting CJ to figure out about the latest incident between him and a robot. He handed CJ a ticket and walked towards Stellar and Juugo, who were both discussing about the Monokuma robots and vending machines.

"These Monokuma robots doesn't seem to be triggered by Monokuma himself," Juugo answered, ignoring Toby. "Stellar, er... Rose. I appreciate the...help for comforting me when Monokuma told me how weak I am. I really appreciate it, Rose." Well, as soon as Juugo gently and almost at the verge of childishly saying this, he found Toby standing right behind him and almost jumped, the mask from the side of his head dropping in the process. "Toby. When did you get here?"

"Since you called Stellar, Rose," Toby stated, teasing the now faintly embarrassed Juugo and the blushing Stellar. Toby laughed to ease the tense mood, and handed the two the tickets from his hands. "Here's the tickets."

"Thank you," Stellar commented as she gently held on to her ticket. "What movie did you choose, Toby?"

Toby sighed. "Detective Conan... Movie 7."

Stellar blinked. "Movie...7...?"

Toby shrugged, frowning as he stared at his own ticket. "Don't ask me. Monokuma's probably lazy about putting up the real movie titles."

"Probably... Or maybe there's something more to it," Juugo ominously stated, sending shivers down Stellar and Toby's spine. CJ quickly appeared alongside them a few moments later, handing each of them their food. Popcorn, nachos, hot dog, and their drinks of soda. "Are we ready?" CJ replied as she tried to hold her drink, popcorn, and her tissues and ticket. The group nodded and they walked down into the velvet rugged hallways until they reached a door that said, "Detective Conan - Movie 7." They quietly entered inside, even though it was obvious that no one was there other than them.

The moment they took their seats, the movie begins to roll. Stellar finds herself recognizing the theme from Detective Conan and unconsciously begins to hum it. Juugo stared at the movie in so-called disinterest, but even then he seemed to wonder what kind of murder will take place in the movie. Toby and CJ both anxiously watched the movie, even if they were only at the opening credits.

After Conan, the real detective of the movie, was about to solve the murderer and sputter out the culprit, the movie was shut down, and the movie screen went blank. "W-what?!" CJ cried, looking annoyed as hell. "A power blackout?! God damn I want to watch the ending!" Juugo shrugged as Stellar looked sorry for CJ. Toby wondered if the power circuit was actually broken or if this meant another crucial clue for something...something he couldn't figure out. Toby glanced at Juugo and the rest, and knew that they too know of the same possibility.

Before that, they purchased more tickets for another movie to find if the same thing will happen.

It did.

(Aika's Group - Amusement Park)

Takane was virtually crying crocodile tears as he and his group were riding upper and upper to the peak of the coaster. "Oh god! No, no, no..." The ride their on quickly darted down the hill, and Takane couldn't help but cowardly scream, "WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE INVESTIGATING THE PLACE! NOT RIDING ON ROLLER COASTEEEERRRRRRRSSS!"

A few minutes later Aika, Malcolm, and Ayano were childishly smiling. They then watched as Takane glared at them while holding his stomach, and they smiled in pity. "Don't pity me!" Takane groaned as he walked into the bathroom to vomit. "Too extreme..." Takane muttered to himself, cursing the three for compelling him to ride with them. He cursed them for not investigating the place and throwing away his only sane partner Malcolm to the depths of the amusement park of hell.

"Er... Takane has a point," Ayano stated outside the bathroom with Aika and Malcolm. Malcolm silently nodded in agreement as Aika ignored Takane's pleas and Ayano's comment. "We should investigate the place..."

"I'm not making us ride on the amusement park for fun," Aika admitted sadly with a small smile. "I'm just trying to lift up our moods. After Nathan's death, I just don't want to see anyone cry or frown anymore. Even if Takane doesn't seem to be having fun Ayano-chan, he is at least straying from remembering the cruelty of the trial."

Ayano stared at Aika, now feeling remorse for making her say such a thing. "Aika..."

Aika smiled energetically, forgetting about what she said as she noticed Takane stumbling outside the bathroom. "Okay! Now that everyone's back why don't we buy something and take a break?" Takane prayed to the Gods that hope will ensure him safety from the dreadful rides. The gruesome roller coasters. Malcolm and Ayano couldn't help but pity Takane from afar.

Aika thanked the booths of food and goodies as she was given a gigantic cotton candy from a Monokuma robot. "Thank you!" She replied, making the robot blush (and she's the only one who didn't notice) as she ran back to the table where her group sat, quietly talking amongst themselves.

"I'm suprised there's a lot of Monokuma robots here," Malcolm started, glancing around the park to find tons of Monokumas hanging about behind their booths. "Are they controlled or something?"

Takane shrugged, taking a sip from his Pepsi. "Maybe? They seem to have a will of their own." Malcolm nodded in agreement, staring curiously but cautiously at the robots. Creepy, he thought. That's really creepy.

"Woah?! So they can talk and move on their own?" Aika stated anxiously. "Eek. They could attack us if they wanted to... Nah I'm just kidding!"

"D-Don't joke like that!" Ayano stated, brushing the cold sweat from his forehead. "You gave me a heart attack."

"Sorry~"

After a while, the four began to walk around the place, Aika suggesting which ride to ride on, Takane anxious to see what will happen, Malcolm sighing from boredom, and Ayano curiously examining the place. There was nothing dangerous to be found, nor was anything potentially dangerous.

Everything was safe, well, for now.

(Makoto's Group - Store)

Rina took all her good precious time trying on new clothes, dragging Constsntine alongside her. Makoto and Tomoe stared at one another and smiled, thinking, Well. They are girls. Makoto didn't notice anything inside the store except for clothes, headbands, bracelets, notebooks, pencils, posters, and more things a normal teenager would go wild for. There were even magic kits and superstitious things of the like, and Makoto couldn't help but think how funny Tomoe will react if he was alone.

"Crazy!" Rina cried from her stall. "Constantine why do you have to make me feel jealous about your beauty?!"

Makoto wondered what Rina was talking about, but then he went, "Ah. Beauty equals jealously." Makoto checked on the clothes on the boys' section and examined the clothes. Baggy pants, hoodies, bandanas, sweaters, t-shirts, etc. Makoto didn't find anything that interested him, but is quite shocked when he finds a pair of cat ears and a furry hoodie with a kitten icon. He glanced around the place, quickly scurried over to the counter where the Monokuma robot was, and slyly purchased it. I've always hold a soft spot for kittens... Makoto admitted as he grabbed the shopping bag and blushed as if it was a humiliating secret, and despite what he was wearing.

Tomoe grinned as he put a hand on Makoto's shoulders. "What are you buying, SHSL Detective, or should I call, Makoto Takamori?"

Makoto laughed awkwardly, frowning at Tomoe as if they held a rivalry against one another. "Eheheh... Tomo-kun..." Makoto then noticed Tomoe holding a shopping bag, and he sneered. "And what did you buy?"

"Eh? Nothing of sort," Tomoe said with a short answer, hiding the bag behind his back.

"No! Show me!" Makoto declared as he quickly grabbed ahold of Tomoe's bag. Tomoe growled in response, but the detective quickly opened the bag's contents to find different stuff on mind reading and ESP techniques. Tomoe laughed awkwardly. "Hmm... Makes sense since you're a medium."

"Mhm." Tomoe stared at Makoto then quickly grabbed ahold of his own bag. "Haha! I got your's!"

"Tomo!"

Tomoe leered at Makoto and opened the bag. He snickered, making the detective pout in disappointment. "That's really..." Tomoe smiled deviously. "Cute of you, kitty boy."

"No be quiet!" Makoto declared as he returned Tomoe's bag and grabbed ahold of his own and hugged it as if it was his most precious thing. "You're mean, Tomo."

"Woah you guys are having too much fun!" Rina exclaimed as she walked out of her stall alongside an embarrassed Constantine. "Well, we had fun as well! Constantine looked so pretty in gothic dresses! She's also an angel when she wears some beautiful gowns!" Rina looked as though she was about to faint. "I'm so jealous of her beauty!"

Constantine sneered at Rina with a sarcastic taunt. "What can I say? I'm just better than all of you."

"Oh my..." Tomoe held his hand up to his forehead in disgust. "This is stupid."

(Kazuho's Group - Garden)

Shizu examined the gigantic flytrap at the middle of the garden. It was quite fascinating seeing the gardens surrounded by gigantic waterfalls coming out of nowhere. It was also quite a wonder seeing tulips, lily pads, and sunflowers all over the place. Shizu couldn't help but think of this garden as a paradise in comparison to other gardens out there.

"Didn't know the garden would hold such..." Paul sighed. "Wonder."

"I've always seen gardens but this is just..." Tiki smiled at Paul. "Wonderful."

Kazuho nodded, examining the bees pollinating the flowers down close to the lake that was made from the waterfalls. There was a stairway that connected the garden to the top of the waterfall and down to the wonders of flowers and sparkling lakes. He wondered if a bee's sting was lethal, and he wondered if Monokuma inserated something more deadly in the bee's stinger. He knew how Monokuma always hid things. "Hmm..."

"There's nothing out of the ordinary here," Shizu stated as she walked down the stairs towards Kazuho. "Shall we head to the barn?"

Kazuho nodded, calling Tiki and Paul all the way from the top of the waterfalls. The group hoped to find something that'll help them stop Monokuma from his despair-inducing plans.

Will the barn hold something valuable, or will it all be connected by a loose string?
