Surprise, surprise! I have two traitors! They're not supposed to be here... bet you can't guess who they are?
Chapter 2: Hope That's Crushed by Despair
- Daily Life
POV - Nikei
DING-DONG, BING-BONG!
"Dear students. Wakey-wakey, eggs and bakey! Good mooorning! It is now 10:00 AM, time to rise and shine! I can't wait to see what happens today! Bye-bye, now! Love, Monocrow."
I woke up, and stared at the ceiling.
The whole situation felt like a dream. Just a few days ago I was on a field trip... now I was trapped here with 13 - scratch that make it 14 - other students in a sick, twisted killing game, and two of us were already dead. My heart pounded as I recalled the discovery of the first corpse, and the execution of the murderer...
No. I can't think about that now. If Mikado and I really are going to get everyone else out of here alive, then I need to keep my wits about me. Keep a clear head... stay focused... yeah.
I sat at my desk. I was tempted to write something down, which only reminded me of the fatal clue that led to Hajime's conviction of murder, and subsequent execution.
I shuddered at the thought. Writing something down would be a horrible reminder of our current reality.
But my stomach growled all the same. I stepped outside and headed for the Dining Hall.
As soon as I entered the Dining Hall Area, I was greeted by a strange situation.
"Okay, okay.... So this boy has joined our class..." Setsuka darkly narrated, writing something down on a notepad. "I wonder if that makes him a worthy friend..."
"Huh, Setsuka?" I asked.
"In an alternate universe, resident journalist Nikei has one of his hands blown off by a malfunctioning gun and then falls to his death..." Setsuka said.
"Stop!" I cried. "I never fell to my death or had my hand blown off! That has to be an exaggeration... mere hyperbole!"
Setsuka conituned writing.
"I think Setsuka's trying to find a loophole in the rules," Mikado mumbled. "She's been doing this ever since I came in to get breakfast."
"So you don't know that I've been writing down possible friends?!" Setsuka growled.
"Anyways," Teruya said. "I didn't catch either of you two's names yesterday. Tell me them again?"
Mikado cleared his throat. "My name's Mikado Sannoji, Ultimate Bounty Hunter. Forget my name and everyone will forget yours."
