Identity V x Danganronpa

Chapter 79 -Hide-And-Go-Seek!-

     Lucky Guy's P.O.V: "?"


     All of us stood there, pale... and cold...

 
    It was as if a hurricane had drowned all of our happiness away...


    "NO way are we going to do that!" William snapped. 

    "T-this is, like... so mean!" Emily cried herself in tears. 

    "What a bad way to start, actually," Leo Beck added. 

    . . . 

    "Does that mean we're going to lose up to 5 students?" Patricia asked the headmaster. 

    
     "Um? Just 5 students?" Monokuma began curiously, but then his voice erupted into laughter. "AHAHAHAHA!! Of course there's that~! But have you guys considered the possibility that maybe all of you guys won't survive?"

    Oh right... He's talking about 'what happens if the two traitors won this trial.' 

     "Not going to happen," Freddy shook his head, "We're not going to fall for 'that' motivation, what-so-ever."

     "Yeah, he's right!" Emma agreed right next to him. "Nobody's going to do a double kill like that! That's insane!"

     "Well~" Monokuma tilted his head from one side to the other, "Maybe 'you' guys won't, but I'm going to let the last two traitors decide. After all~ They're still alive!"


     Right. I still haven't forgotten those last two traitors here... Even though I'm still suspecting it could be either one from the hunter and one from the survivors, there's no chance I could guess it right unless the killing happens! Then the investigation will lead to who they really are in hiding!


     The entire room went silent as Monokuma disappeared right in front of us... again....

   
     "Alright, fess up!" Jose turned to face everybody in the room. "Who's the two traitors!? Now!"

     "Uh, Jose?" Tracy rolled her eyes at him as she crossed her arms. "Do you 'Reeeallyy~' think that the last two traitors would show up 'that' easily?"

     The first officer glared at her, "Well, you could be one, Tracy."

     "What!?"

     "You're annoying."

     "Shut up!" 

     "Guys, girls, everybody," Edgar split those two up. "We don't need anymore of 'this' and 'that,' so please, let's just think about it for a sec."

     
     But even if we're going to think about it... There's no point... Nothing for us to do but wait here and... I don't know... Die? Survive? Try? What's there between hope and despair? 

     Ugh... I got a really bad feeling about this!


     "At least, Lucky Guy's here with us," Luca mentioned out loud. "Without him, we wouldn't have survived the last two trials."

     I blushed. "Ah, that's nothing. However, don't worry! I'll be sure to crack this class trial like it's nothing, really!"

     "But Lucky Guy," Demi glanced over at me. "You do realize that if you let the survivors win again... what about the hunters?"

     "Oh!" My face fell instantly when I realized she was right... Looking back at the hunters, they didn't feel like they wanted to talk anymore... It's as if they're really unsettled and.... silent...

     Just as I was about to say something, the door to the dining hall opened... 

     "Sorry, I'm late," the axe boy said, and that got me wondering how he could see.

     I mean, isn't he headless for a reason?


    Entering the room, I then noticed something odd about him... Where's his axe? Didn't he usually bring it with him? 

    "Hey, Robbie," Joker called him out first. "You forgot your axe--"

    "Yea, I know," Robbie replied with a sigh, "I left it in my room this time."

    "Oh?" Michiko raised one of her eyebrows at him in surprise. "Well, that's very unlikely indeed."

     Is it? I wanted to ask. 
 
     "You arrived kind of late, axe boy," Burke muttered. "Something up in your little mind?"

     Hearing this, Robbie shrugged. "Just.. thinking, is all."

     "Robbie," I smiled softly at him. "It's fine if you're thinking about 'her,' but--"

     "I'm not thinking about her!" The axe boy raised his voice and the room went silent... Then he quickly calmed down, "I... I honestly don't really have a plan."
