A/N: I am back, with the class trial. I have not so much to say this time. I hope you enjoy it. Please read and review.


Chapter: 1

Being Selfless Isn't The Key? Abnormal Life

Court Is Now In Session

"Ok then, I'll begin with a simple explanation of the class trial." Mr. Monokuma began. "During the class trial, you will try to figure out who the killer is with the evidence you found and vote for whodunnit. If you vote correctly, then only the culprit will receive punishment. But if you pick the wrong person, then everyone except the culprit will receive punishment, and only her will be allowed to leave the island."

"I want to make sure again. Is the killer really one of us?" My sister asked. Mr. Monokuma crossed his arms and nodded. "Of course. One of you killed Nadeshiko Omuro-san, no doubt about it."

"Another question. Why did you put a picture of Omuro-san with her face crossed?"

"She did died after all, there's no reason to leave the space empty. Besides, maybe one time, one of the fallen might be a clue for a class trial. Enough questions already, it's time to begin the class trial."

"He said to begin, but how?" Sugiura-senpai asked

"How about the time of dead?" Himawari-chan suggested. "It should reduce the number of suspects if we know who was where at what time"

That is true, if we where somewhere else at the time of her d-dead, we should have an alibi. "Sugiura-senpai, Matsumoto-senpai, Yui-chan, and I were at the restaurant at 7:20" I said. All three of the confirm this by nodding.

Hanako-chan raised her hand. "I was with Sakurako and Himawari-neechan until 7:05. Himawari-neechan stayed at the hotel when we went to the restaurant as she said that she needed to go to the bathroom."

"Akaza-san and I were at the beach house getting things ready, while Yoshikawa-san and Omuro-san brought stuff from the Monokuma's Mono-Mart." Sensei claimed.

"I was sleeping until the morning announcement woke me up." Ikeda-senpai said. "I stayed a bit in my room after that. I did not really felt like going to the restaurant."

"I also woke up after the morning announcement, but I took a shower before heading to the restaurant." Chinatsu-chan added.

"I actually woke up before the morning announcement, I head over to the mart to see if I could help with something." Chitose-senpai smiled. "Tomoko Yoshikawa-san can confirm this."

"She did, we did talked a bit."

"What about you Kyoko-chan?" I asked her.

"I could barely hold my excitement so I couldn't sleep that much, I went to the mart to get some snacks around 6:30 because I was hungry, and I couldn't wait for Monokuma to make breakfast."

So not all of us had solid alibis. The only ones with a somewhat solid alibi would be Sakurako-chan, her sister, and Himawari-chan.

"We do not have solid alibis." My sister spoke. "While it does not make every one of us clear of being the culprit, it does help us think better on the culprits action."

"Seems like it." Himawari-chan agreed.

"Then let's talk about the most important thing about this case, the murder weapon." Yui-chan said. "Where did the culprit get the knife?"

"Obviously from the weapon facility. It is the only place where there are weapons." Sugiura-senpai said.

"No, that's wrong." I countered. I tapped on my Truth Bullet 'Opened Silverware Box' and it appeared on the big screen, just like Mr. Monokuma said it would. "There was an opened box of silverware a few feet away from Omuro-san. The knife sticking out of Omuro-san's torso is exactly like those in the silverware box."

"Then the killer took the knife from the box and use it to kill Omuro-san, right?" Chitose-san said. "Oh, I remember who had a box of silverware. Tomoko Yoshikawa-san had a box that was open."

We all turned towards Tomoko-san. "Y-yeah, I did grab that box. I took it with me when I went to the beach house, since we needed some silverware."

"Then it was you, right? You killed my sister!" Sakurako-chan shouted. "N-n-no, it was not me, it was already opened when I grabbed it."

"Liar!"

"Hey wait a minute." Chinatsu-chan interfered. "You can't just assume it was my sister just cause of that. I know her, she would not kill anyone, not even to safe herself."

Tomoko-san started sweating. "N-n-no, it was not me. The box was opened already I swear."

"That could be a lie for all we know." Sakurako-chan countered. "Maybe you open it before hand and hide it in your pocket or something."

"I-I didn't, I swear, someone else might have do it."

"If that is true." Hanako-chan talked. "Then we need to figure out who went to the Monokuma's Mono Mart."

"Obviously Yoshikawa-san and Omuro-san where there, Chitose Ikeda-san and Kyoko Toshino-san where also there." Nishigaki-sensei said, counting with her fingers. "That makes a total of four people that we know that went there."

"Did any one of you acted weird while in the mart?" Himawari-chan asked. "Just to make sure none of you are the suspect."

"Toshino-san didn't show any sign of doing the unthinkable." Chitose-senpai said. "I do not know that much Yoshikawa-san to say that she was not acting weird though."

Kyoko-chan hit herself in the head and stick out her tongue. "I did not really pay any attention to that, sorry."

"Jeez senpai, be serious for once." Chinatsu-chan said. "This is something serious."

"How about the ones with the weakest alibi." Sugiura-senpai suggested. "There are four people that weren't seen during the time of death and the next 40 minutes. I was with the president, Matsumoto-san, a little bit before the morning announcement and spent the rest of the day with her until the body announcement."

"If what everyone said is true." Hanako-chan continued. "It should be the Ikeda-san that stayed in the hotel the whole time, young Yoshikawa-san, Funami-san, and young Akaza-san."

"Actually, it should only be Akaza-san and Funami-san." Ikeda-san added. "I saw Yoshikawa-san after she got out of her room, her hair was still wet."

"I didn't even notice you." Chinatsu-chan said surprised. "It is true though, my hair was still wet after I left my room, that was around 7:07 or so."

Matsumoto-senpai said something that we couldn't hear. "Matsumoto said that there is no way Yoshikawa-san could have killed Omuro-san, hide the evidence, and taken a shower and still be around there at 7:07." Sensei translated.

"Then that means that Funami-san and Akari-san are the ones with the weakest alibi." Chitose-san exclaimed.

"H-huh? B-but it w-wasn't me. I swear!" I was getting nervous. I know I am not the culprit, but it still made me anxious that I am being a suspect.

Sakurako-chan pointed her finger on Yui-chan. "It has to be you, I bet you are the culprit." Yui-chan shook her head. "It wasn't me nor Akari. There's no way that Akari would kill anyone and I woke up after the morning announcement. I went straight to the restaurant."

"She did arrive at the restaurant." Sugiura-senpai added. "But it was around 7:17. She could have enough time to hide the evidence and return to the hotel before the morning announcement."

Yui-chan didn't say anything, she had her eyes closed and her hand on her chin. "Hey Monokuma, does the killer count for the body announcement?" Mr. Monokuma stood up from his seat. "Just as the the rules say, 'The Body Discovery Announcement will display on the monitors as soon as three or more people discover a body for the first time.'"

Tomoko-san pointed her index finger towards him. "That is no answer at all. Does it count or not?" He remained quiet. Even if he was not making any sound, I could tell he was laughing inside.

"It does not." Nishigaki-sensei said. "The culprit can't discover a body. They are the ones who did it after all."

"Lets assume it doesn't then." Yui-chan continue. "Besides Yoshikawa-san, did anybody else knew about the Omuro-san's death before the body announcement?" No one said anything, we just looked at each other. "I'll take that as a no. Then that means Yoshikawa-san, Akari, and I have a solid alibi."

"What makes you so sure?" My sister asked.

"Because Yoshikawa-san burst through the restaurant door, trying to say that Omuro-san was dead, obviously she saw the body. After that, Akari and I went towards the mart and found the body, triggering the Body Discovery Announcement."

"Oh!" Exclaimed Himawari-chan. "Then unless someone saw the body before the announcement and didn't say anything, it would seem that all of you three are innocent."

"Correct" Yui-chan nodded.

"Then we are back to square one." Sugiura-senpai said. "Too many of us have no solid alibis. We have no clues now."

"No, that's wrong." My sister said. The monitor showed a picture of the broken glass. "We still have the broken glass as evidence."

Sakurako-chan crossed her arms in front of her. "How can that be used to figure out who did it. Obviously, whoever did it, did it to so she wouldn't be able to fight back."

If that is true, then does that mean that someone who does not have the strength to fight back is the culprit. Which means….

"Then the culprit is one of the us, the young ones."

"What makes you so sure, Akaza-san." Himawari-chan asked. "Anyone could have done it just to take advantage of her."

"T-that is true. There is a possibility of that. But I do not think it was that way."

"Why is that?"

"Because if one of the young ones did it. We could have a better chance against an adult.".

"T-t-then that means…" Sugiura-senpai spoke nervously. "Than Chitose and Toshino Kyoko are the only ones that could have done it. Since they were the only ones that where there around that time."

"Either that…" Hanako-chan added. "Or someone else was there."

"What if the crystal ball was a way to distract us." My sister said

".…What do you mean?" She was clearly caught of guard to what my sister said.

"That is probably what the culprit want us to think, but if you take a look under her body." My sister tap the screen on her E-Handbook. The monitor showed a picture of under Omuro-san's body. "You can noticed that there are no broken pieces of glasses under her body."

"So that means that the culprit hit her with the glass ball after she stabbed her." Sensei added.

My sister nodded. "Yes, but why would she?"

Yui-chan raised her hand. "The culprit might be an adult then. By using the glass ball, we might think that it was one of us minors since we most probably wouldn't have the strength to outmatch Omuro-san."

"The only who could have done such a thing is Tomoko Yoshikawa-san."

Sakurako-chan pointer her finger towards her. "So it was you after all! You…you bitch!"

"I already told you, it wasn't me." She said, a bit angry this time. "First, we already confirmed that I am safe since I triggered the Body Announcement. Second, it can't be an adult."

Sakurako-chan crossed her arms, and glared at her. "What makes you so sure that an adult is not the culprit."

"Because there are only four adults. Akane-chan, Nishigaki-sensei, Omuro-san, and me. For very obvious reason, it could not have been Omuro-san. And since I triggered the Body Announcement, neither can it be me."

"What about the other two?" Kyoko-chan asked. "Surely one of them could have done it."

"That is impossible." Nishigaki-sensei responded. "Akaza-san and I where together the whole time. She couldn't have done it without me knowing.

"This is taking us nowhere." Kyoko-chan said. "Every time we almost have a clue to who it might be, our evidence gets destroyed by something else."

"Upupupu, I can feel the despair building up on you girls. If you guys give up. You guys can vote for who you think it was, let luck decide."

Of course Mr. Monokuma had to speak right now of all time.

"Are you crazy?" Sugiura-senpai said, pointing her finger at him. "This is not something we can let luck decide. I do not want to be punished by a talking plush toy."

Mr. Monokuma got angry, as angry as it can get with that face, and stood up from his chair. "How many times do I have to tell you, I am Monokuma, not a toy."

"Lets continue on the case." Himawari-chan interrupted. "After all, I believe we are close to figuring out who it was."

"Really?" Yui-chan asked

"Yes, I have been thinking that maybe there was an accomplice."

"Hmmm, that does sound like it could have happen." Yui-chan replied. "After all, protecting each other will lead to a more perfect crime."

"Do we have any clue that there where any accomplice though?" Chitose-senpai asked. "We do not have any evidence that supports it."

"No, that's wrong!" I tapped on the E-Handbook on the evidence of the bloody bikini, school uniform, and knife.

"W-what is…that?" Chitose-senpai asked.

"I found this inside a stereo system, on the back of each speaker. The uniform is from our former middle school, Nanamori middle school. The bikini is the size of an adult. And both of them are covered in blood, but the knife was besides the uniform."

"That means that there was an actual accomplice." Hanako-chan added. "Someone tried to get out of the island together."

I turned towards the bear. "Mr. Monokuma, may I ask you a question?"

"Why sure you can. As long as it is not for pictures of me when I was a baby."

"Eh, no, I wouldn't." It would probably be a creepy bear anyways. "I want to ask about what would happen if there was an accomplice. Would both of them get out of the island?"

"There can be an accomplice if they want to help each other, but in the end, only the one who deals the finishing blow is the one who will be allowed to leave the island."

"So what?!" Sakurako-chan yelled. "That does not mean there is not an accomplice."

Himawari-chan shake her head in disapproval. "Not necessary. If there was an accomplice, she wouldn't know about this rule until now. Chances are that they would be confessing the crime right now."

Himawari-chan is right. The accomplice would not benefit from committing the crime.

"Wait!" Tomoko-san yelled. "That knife. It's covered with blood." Sakurako-chan crossed her arms in front of her. "And?"

"It means that it could be the actual murder weapon."

"No, not probably." Nishigaki-sensei joined. "That knife IS the murder weapon. The culprit probably left it there since she didn't know where else to hide it."

"But why would the culprit leave the knife from the silverware box?" Himawari-chan asked.

"Maybe it was to blame Yoshikawa-san." I said. Everyone faced towards me. "Maybe the culprit knew about her taking the silverware to the party, and used it to blame her."

"Then the one who knew about it, is the culprit." Kyoko-chan said with a serious face. "We might actually know who did it after all. Anyone who knew about Yoshikawa-san having a silverware box should be a suspect."

No one said anything. They kept looking each other. It wasn't necessary to try and guess who it was though. Everything makes sense after all.

"I….I think I know who it was." I said. Everyone turned their eyes on me. "Is that true, Akari?" Yui-chan asked. "Ye…yes. I'm pretty sure I am right." I know who the culprit is. I probably knew from the beginning. Maybe I was hoping I was wrong. I wanted to believe that it was Mr. Monokuma just messing with us. But if I want to save everyone, then I have to say it. I have to face the truth. Which means I need to point out the culprit behind all this.

"It….It was you, right? Chitose-senpai."

"H-huh?"

Everyone faced towards her. Some of us gasped.

"W-wait!" Her sister yelled. "What makes you so confident that it was my sister?"

"Chitose-senpai said that she did see Yoshikawa-san with a box of silverware. No one else knew about it." Chitose-senpai looked nervous. "T-that doesn't m-mean a-anything though." Chitose-senpai stuttered. "I-it can be just a coincidence. M-maybe someone overheard u-us. T-T-Toshino-san was there after all." I nodded in agreement. "Yes, it is true that Kyoko-chan was there, but she saw Chinatsu-chan's sister after she left the mart. There is no way she would have overhear the two of you."

She started sweating. She wasn't saying anything anymore. Was I right then?

"Wait!" Ikeda-senpai shouted again. "That doesn't prove anything. Anyone could have overhead her. Maybe it was you and you want to blame her so you could leave the island!" She is denial. I would have been too if I was on her blame and they would be blaming my sister. "We already said that I can't be it. I, along with Yui-chan and Tomoko-san, triggered the body discovery announcement."

"T-then someone else was there maybe." Chitose-said. "I-I-I couldn't have done it. I-I'm not capable to do s-s-such t-thing."

She is starting to get nervous. I should try and push her a bit more. See what happens. "Chitose-senpai, I do not want to believe it was you. I want to be wrong, but everything indicates it was you. Especially the broken crystal ball."

She smiled nervously. "What about it? Anyone could have done t-that."

"That's true, but take a look at this picture I took." I tapped on the E-Handbook and the monitor showed a picture of the broken crystal ball. "When I investigated the broken pieces, I noticed something. Some of the pieces where thinner than the others, it didn't match up with the crystal ball. So it means that some other type of crystal broke at the crime scene. If I am right, then it means that somehow your glasses broke during your attempt to k-k-kill Omuro-san, and to hide the evidence, you broke the crystal ball right?"

"I….I..I didn't….."

Ikeda-san slammed her hand on the podium. "What kind of logic is that? Where's your proof? It can still be someone else who did it."

"Yes, that is true, it can still be someone else. To make sure that I am right or wrong, I'll review everything we discuss and see if we are right about who the culprit is." If I am right, everything wont be the same anymore. I took a deep breath.

"I'll start from when Tomoko-san left the Monokuma's Mono-Mart. Tomoko-san left the mart with, what it was suppose to be, a new set of knifes towards the beach house. She thought that someone used the knife for something and dismiss the idea of the knife being used for a bad purpose. In reality, the culprit took the knife earlier so she could use it to kill her victim. Just as Tomoko-san left, the culprit enter the mart, heading towards her victim. The culprit talked with Nadeshiko-san normally to not show any signs of her true intentions. When Nadeshiko-san let her guard down, the culprit attacked her and stab her on her throat."

"But that did not kill her, she struggled and try to fight back, covering the culprits clothes with her blood. The small fight caused the culprit's glasses to fall off, breaking the glass in the process. Then she stabbed Omuro-san on the torso, causing her to fall back on her back and die. The culprit needed to get rid of her uniform since it was covered with blood, so she hide it where no one would normally have looked, the big stereo's speakers. She also hid a bikini to make us believe that it might have been an accomplice. Then she grabbed a crystal ball and smash it on her head to cover the broken glass of her glasses, making us think that it was used to attack the victim. After doing so, she went to her room back at the hotel and change to a new uniform, relief that no one had caught her. Little did the culprit know, is that hiding the evidence, only made it easier to know who it was. The only one who could do that was you, right? Chitose Ikeda-senpai."

I took a deep breath and let it go. "If I am wrong, then please, prove it. To be honest, I don't want to be right. I don't want to believe any of us did that to Omuro-san."

"I…I…" She looked at everyone, stopping only at Sakurako-chan's way. Her tears started running down her face. "I-it was me. I k-killed Omuro-san."

Why? Why did she do it? Why was I right? I wanted to be wrong about this, I want to trust my friends, not doubt them.

"It seems that we have come to a conclusion." Mr. Monokuma stood up from his throne. "In front of you, there is going to be a lever for every single one of you. Pull the lever of the one you are voting to cast your vote. Now then, what will the results be, will it be the right one, or the dreadfully wrong one?"

The monitor showed a slot machine. The slot machine had a picture of every single one of us, including Mr. Monokuma. Every picture of us where color with the exception of Omuro-san, which was gray. The pictures rolled just like any slot machine would do. It kept going until it stopped on Chitose-senpai's face. The slot machine started spewing gold coins, with the word 'winner' on the screen.

"You girls are correct. The one who killed Nadeshiko Omuro-san was Chitose Ikeda-san!" He jumped with excitement as if he was a kid in a candy shop.

"Onee-san...why?" Ikeda-senpai dropped on her knees, crying.

"I...I...I wanted to save our loved ones. To save you guys. To save you Chizuru." She started crying. "It is not like I wanted to kill any of you."

"Then why did you kill our sister." Sakurako-chan yelled. "She didn't deserve that. We didn't deserve that."

Chitose-san stared at the ground, avoiding making eye contact with her. "I am sorry, it is not like I chose her because I hate her or something. She just happened to be the closest. It was nothing personal."

Sakurako-chan tried to punch her but was stopped by Himawari-chan, grabbing her from behind. "Let me go Himawari, she deserves to be punch!"

"Punching her wont bring back Nadeshiko-nee. It wont make you feel better if you do it. I want to punch her myself, but get a hold of yourself."

"Chitose-senpai, what exactly happen there?"

She stared at the ground, avoiding eye contact with any of us. "After the motive, I got scared. Monokuma was going to do something to our loves one. I couldn't stand the idea of that. I love my parents and my grandma, I didn't want to risk it. So at midnight, I went to the weapon armory and grabbed a military knife to defend myself first. Then it occur to me, what if I kill one of the adults? Surely, they would not have blame one of us kids."

She wiped a few tears that she had on her face. "I overheard Akari-san and Tomoko Yoshikawa-san talking. I heard that the adults would be in a group of two, with Yoshikawa-san and Omuro-san taking things from the mart to the beach house. That's when I thought that I could kill one of them. After waiting until 6:00 a.m. I went to the mart. Yoshikawa-san was the first one I talked too, and I was going to kill her first."

"You what?!" Chinatsu-chan yelled.

"It is not like I had something against your sister." Chitose-senpai said quickly. "She was just the first one I talked to...But after talking to her, I felt bad that I was going to kill her, so I change my victim."

"So you felt bad for Chinatsu-chan's sister, but not for ours?"

Chitose-senpai hugged herself and cried. "I'm sorry Omuro-san."

"No…don't say that. You have no right to apologize for what you did." She turned the opposite side of her. "I don't want to see your stupid face. You are death to me."

"That is enough talking for now." Mr. Monokuma interrupted us. "It's about time we start the punishment."

"What kind of punishment will I receive?" Chitose-senpai questioned him. "I will accept it. It is what I deserved after all."

"Your punishment is execution, of course."

Huh? Did he said execution? Does he mean THAT type of execution? He must be joking, r-right?

"Execution? W-what do you mean by 'execution'?" Senpai asked.

"Exactly what I meant, death penalty. You did kill one of your friends after all. We can't let someone as dangerous like you around the island."

"I-isn't this a bit too much?" Sugiura-senpai asked.

Mr. Monokuma put his hands on his mouth. "Upupupu. Of course not. She should have known better than to kill one of you."

Himawari-chan stepped forward. "I'm not saying that I forgive for what she did, but executing her is too much of a punishment."

"Why did you not said anything about the punishment!" Ikeda-senpai yelled. "It's unfair that you did not tell us what it was! If you would've said something, then she would have not killed anyone!"

"That is why I did not say anything. The killing game needed to start as soon as possible."

"You…you monster!"

I stepped forward. "W-wait a minute, Mr. Monokuma. She said she is sorry. You can forgive her this time." She can't die. Not after losing Omuro-san. I can't take it anymore.

"I can't do that, Akaza-san. It would go against my rules. I am a bear of his word." Mr. Monokuma stood up from his chair and started spinning like a ballerina. "Well then, I suppose it is time to start the punishment."

"You can't!" Ikeda-senpai said. "She is sorry for what she did, you can't punish her!"

"Y-y-y-yeah!" Chitose-senpai joined. "I'll do anything, M-M-M-Mr. Monok-k-k-kuma! Just forgive me this time!"

"No can't do. There is no despair in letting you live."

"Take me instead then!" Ikeda-senpai stepped forward. "I'll take the place of my sister!" She got in front of him. "That kind of despair would make you happy, right?"

"Now then, I have prepared a very special punishment for Chitose Ikeda, the Super Middle School Level Nose Bleed!" He ignored her.

"Don't you dare ignore me!"

Chitose-senpai join her hands, pleading towards Mr. Monokuma. "Please no, I wont do it again, I promise! Please, don't kill me!" Her tears were running non-stop. She got on her knees, begging with all her might. "I don't want to die! I will do anything, please, don't kill me!"

"Let's give it everything we've got! It's... PUNISHMENT TIIIIME!"

A small stand with a red button appeared. It had a mini box with a screen. Mr. Monokuma took a small gravel from behind him, spin around mid air, and slam it down the button. The small screen turned on and it had a 16-bit colored character of Chitose-senpai. On the top of the screen it said 'Game Over', and on the bottom it said, 'Chitose Ikeda has been found guilty. Commencing punishment'. A 16-bit Mr. Monokuma appeared from the left side of the screen walking towards Chitose-senpai, just as he reached her, he started dragging her by her feet to the right side of the screen.

Chitose stood in front of everyone, her knees trembling, with tears on her face. She was embracing her sister, as if she was going to keep her safe. Just then the doors opened and a chain with a choker went flying past us towards Chitose and grabbed her by her neck. The choker closed and dragged her towards the door, prying her away from Ikeda-senpai, and as she passed the doors, they closed. After a few seconds, the big monitor turned on and show Chitose on a chair with her hands and feet chained on it. There was a box on her shoulders with her head inside, trapped in it, with a few holes on the top of it for her to breath.

Two Monokuma appeared in front of her, one with a yellow wig with a red ribbon at top and the other one with a purple wig in a ponytail. They started making out in front of Chitose in hopes of causing her a nose bleed but to no avail. A third, and angry, Monokuma appeared got on top of her, opened the top part of the box, took her glasses off, broke them to pieces, and closed the box again. The other two Monokuma started making out again. Chitose, without her glasses, entered fantasy mode and saw them as the real ones. She started to have a nosebleed, slowly filling the box.

The Monokuma moved their hands to each other hips making Chitose bleed harder from her nose. Eventually it started to fill up the box all the way. She struggled on the chair, trying to take the box out of her but didn't succeed. Soon her struggles were becoming more and more slower, until it stopped completely. Monokuma headed towards her and open the front part of the box, the blood spilling out. When the box emptied all the blood, it showed her face, with eyes wide open, but with no life in it. Monokuma got scared and closed the box again, running away with the other two, leaving the body there.

"WOOOHOOOO. EXTREEEME! I can feel my blood rising with excitement!"

"NEE-SAAAAN!"

Ikeda-senpai was on her knees. Crying with all her might, making a puddle of tears under her.

"This can't be h-h-happening. This is too c-cruel." I didn't even notice my own tears falling until I brought my hands to my face.

"Does this make you happy? Taking away someone's life is exciting for you?!" Nishigaki-sensei walked towards him. "I swear that I am going to kill you right here, right now."

He just danced. "I have no problem with you killing me, but you will be punished if you do so."

Sensei raised her hand in form of a fist and aim her hand towards Mr. Monokuma...she stopped halfway. "You are lucky that we are powerless at the moment."

"Upupupupu. Whatever you say."

"I don't want to die! Let us out of here!" Chinatsu-chan cried, banging on the wall with her fist.

"If you guys don't want to die, then forget about life outside this island and start accepting life here." He laughed as if he heard the funniest joke ever. "Well that was fun but I am tired now. You guys should go to sleep, I will have important news tomorrow." He then left.

Hanako-chan was crying on Sakurako-chan's chest. Himawari-chan was hugging both of them, also crying silently. Sakurako-chan wasn't crying, she just stared at the big monitor that showed Chitose-senpai's execution. I'm not sure how, but I could tell that she was sad. Sad that her big sister died. Sad that her senpai killed her sister. Sad because her senpai got executed. It's not like her face could show her emotions. She didn't give any indication of what was she feeling. It was just something I could feel.

Sugiura-senpai didn't move at all. She kept staring at the screen, her eyes were crying but she didn't make a noise. Her eyes lost the sparkles she always had in them. She was probably just as sad as Sakurako-chan. Chitose-senpai was her best friend after all. She doesn't have a family member to rely on like most of us in the island anymore.

I tried to dry my tears with my hands. It was useless, they just kept pouring out. My sister hugged me from behind and whispered. "Everything is going to be alright, Akari. I won't let anyone do any harm to you. I swear." For the first time in my life, I doubted her.

Chapter 1
