Torment and Lies (New Danganronpa V3 x OC)

[16] I'm sorry

here some michika in shikimori to brace urself for the upcoming chapters :)

Monokuma popped up in front of the students. "A body has been discovered! Everyone, please report to the computer room... wait, you're already here."

Ichika stared at the corpse blankly. "Micchan..."

Tsumugi shivered. "I-It's terrible... Why did it end up like this?"

"I-Iruma-san? Wh-Why...?" Kiibo exclaimed.

"Wh-What's going on? Why was... Iruma killed?" Himiko sweated.

"I... don't understand, either... Iruma-san was like this when I woke up..." Gonta looked around in a panic. "Hey! What's going on? What happened?"

"Well, it's obvious a murder happened." Kokichi sighed.

"M-Murder!? Wh-What do you mean!? Did something happen when I was asleep?"

"We weren't asleep and that wasn't a dream. We were in the Virtual World." Kiibo explained. His eyes grew wide. "W-Wait... what if this is the traitors doing!?"

"T-The traitor... Got Iruma...?" Himiko stammered.

"..." Ichika stared at Miu's corpse blankly.

Maki looked around the room. "Hey, where's Momota?"

As if on cue, they all heard footsteps running fast down the hallway, the sound growing louder until the door burst open, and there stood the man of the hour.

"Hey! What's this all about!? What was that body discovery announc-" Kaito took one look at Miu and froze. "Wh-! Iruma!? Wh-What the hell is going on here!?"

"You're too late, okay? All the others finished gasping in terror already." Kokichi commented. "But anyway, where were you this whole time, Momota-chan? What were you doing?"

"I-I was just taking a nap."

"You were sleeping? I was sleeping too! I had a strange dream! I couldn't understand anything!" Gonta added.

"As I said..." Kiibo looked nervously at Gonta. "That was the Virtual World."

"So you logged out by yourself and then took a nap? Without our permission?" Kokichi interrogated Kaito.

"I suddenly got logged out... Before I realized it, I was back here..."

"You were logged out... involuntarily?" Shuichi repeated.

"Yeah... I didn't know if it was okay to log back in, so I went back to my room and slept. And when that body announcement woke me up, I rushed over here-"

"Hey, Momota-chan! If you're gonna lie, then you might as well do it better! Do you think you can make a killing game more exciting with a crappy lie like that!?" Kokichi pouted.

"I-It's not a lie! I really was sleeping!"

"Oookay, everyone, let's stop arguing and get on with the investigation." Ichika chirped and everyone fell dead silent.

"Ah..." Tsumugi gave Ichika a nervous look.

Shuichi sighed. "...Aki-san."

"Geez, stop it." Ichika pouted. "Stop looking at me like that, okay?" She gave them a bright smile. "We need to start the investigation."

Himiko walked up to Ichika. "I-Ichika? Hey... are you-"

"I'm fine." Ichika smiled at her. "Monokuma, the Monokuma file. Hand it out."

"As you wish, m'lady!" Monokuma pulled out a black tablet. "Ta-da! The Monokuma file! With this, you can even investigate up Iruma's asshole!"

"Huh?" Monophaine looked shocked. "Even there?"
