Continuing the 2nd Chapter Daily Life with Aigis at the helm replacing Makise as the assistant for this chapter.

Chapter Text

Waking up after a very heartful day, I wonder how different everyone is... actually why does that matter? Sure I want to help everyone overcome the despair Monokuma is trying to spread, but why was I so frantic yesterday?

Kogami: Isn't it because Monokuma made an ultimatum?

Oh yeah! Light told us that if we want the new areas available we need to get everyone out of their room. This sounds generous, but Monokuma always has an ulterior motive and this probably isn't any different.

Kogami: Maybe, but the new areas could have something useful. A clue that will show if Monokuma was telling the truth about us not being in our own world anymore, or even the person that might be controlling Monokuma from the outside. So even if there is a trap as long as we make progress it's fine.

The more I listen to myself I slowly realize that I sound Light. How we need to make progress despite the emotional effects they have on us, and that we need to do whatever it takes to get an edge against the mastermind.

Kogami: I really wish my brain isn't like this. Sharing the same brain as Light is like sharing a brain with the devil. So hot that I would question my morning wood, but it will also burn... like getting a sunburn in a nude beach.

I don't even want to imagine that!

Kogami: But before we get too deep on the topic of indecency, shouldn't we remember the thing we did yesterday? The thing that drove a very strong and powerful woman to tears.

A strong a powerful woman, who is it ag-

Kogami: Koneko Tojou, the so-called Ultimate Kickboxer.

Right now I remember what I said. I was talking to Makise about the current situation when I...

FLASHBACK:

Makise: I'm just hoping that he won't reach Koneko because if he does I don't know what I can do anymore. I want to help her through this, but if Monokuma is that bad... I don't what I can do.

Kogami: If you're strong enough then you will, but if Monokuma does succeed it doesn't mean you were weak, it means Koneko was beyond saving.

Koneko: What did you just say!?

END

I shouldn't have said something as harsh as that unless I wanted to push her further to abyss Monokuma made. Anyone would be offended if you said they were beyond saving in normal life, what else when trap in this Killing Game.

Kogami: We just need to hope she gets better... and not just for her sake, but ours. Takeo doesn't look happy when he found out.

That big guy who was called the Ultimate Bodyguard, if anyone here is capable of killing me it would be him.

Kogami: And to add more problems we brought to ourselves it would undermine the effort everyone made to get the new areas accessible.

I force Shinji to confront his fears and bribed Yuno with possibilities all to accomplish my goals. If I ended up giving them false hopes, it will only be another wound that despair can seep into their spirit.

Kogami: Or something even worse, what if they decide to take Monokuma's offer and were deciding a target? Wouldn't the person who single handily solve the last case and manipulated their feelings be the perfect target?

I never meant, but that doesn't matter if they think like that. I don't want to die for my mistakes because it will mean someone else will come with me.

Kogami: But instead of sulking I should check how things are right now... I should be able to salvage the situation. Or if it's inevitable that I'm going to die, the very least I should understand why I would be killed.

[Move to Dorm Hallway]

Koneko: ...

There she is, the girl I wanted to see. I should probably reach out to her so I can show her I want to talk.

Kogami: Koneko, I want to-

Koneko: ... [Leave]

That didn't go the way I wanted.

Kogami: The silent treatment, a trick many girls do to make a man feel guilty. Did it work for me?

It did, I rather get shot then feel the guilt of a girl hating me for saying the wrong comment. Why did I think about getting shot?

Takeo: Kogami did you do something to hurt Koneko again?

Kogami: Takeo, I'll try to explain this one even if you won't accept my final answer.

[Talk to Takeo]

Takeo: So why was Koneko upset? Did you do something to her?

Kogami: It was an accident, I didn't mean to hurt her... or have her hear what I said.

Takeo: Did you say something?

Kogami: Nothing Takeo, just talking to myself in my own fancy.

Takeo: Alright, I trust you.

Does he really trust people so easily like that? That's sweet but with a place like this, you need to be cautious.

Kogami: I was talking to Makise yesterday about how she and Koneko were when she tried to help her out from the problems happening here.

Takeo: And what did she say?

Kogami: Makise told me that Koneko was still really troubled by everything, and I made an inappropriate comment. That if she won't recover from all this stress and discord Monokuma is throwing around like candy, she might be beyond saving.

Takeo: You said that in front of her!? Don't you care about her feelings!?

This is a guy is scary when he's mad. I really don't want him coming after my life.

Kogami: I only said this in front of Makise, but Koneko eavesdropped on us and heard everything. So when she showed herself she was really sad and ran away. Makise went after he to calm her down, but I don't know what happened ever since.

Takeo: I saw that when I was going to the cafeteria for dinner she was running to her room while Makise was behind her. When I asked her what was going on, she closed the door and locked it. All I knew was that you were involve since Koneko mentioned while she was sprinting.

Kogami: Something like "Kogami you idiot!" or "That stupid jerk!"?

Takeo: That and "Kogami never show your face again! "I'm not a loose cause!" "I hate you Kogami!" and "Does everyone thinking like that!?".

It's weird that Koneko would be affected by me just saying that, but if she thinks everyone thinks like that then it makes sense why should be saying all those things.

Kogami: I want to apologize for that, but she won't let me approach her which you could clearly see just a few minutes ago at this very location.

Takeo: Girls are like that... I think. I'm not really sure since my friend is the one good with girls. Maybe I should ask my girlfriend when I come back home?

Kogami: You have a lover Takeo?

Takeo: Yeah I do! She's so sweet and kind and gentle, and she makes really good cookies and cake while also making laugh and likes me despite what I look-! When did we start talking about me, we should be talking about Koneko!

Kogami: I just wanted to lighten the mood, it's clear that if we keep talking about all the drama we aren't going to reach a positive ending. So to find a happy and fluffy solution we need to talk about something that the light will shine bright happiness.

Takeo: I don't really get it, but I think you're right. You're smarter than me so what you said must be true.

When did being smart affect something illogical like philosophy?

Kogami: Alright the since we talked about your girlfriend, why not talk about your best friend.

Takeo: I don't know, I want to talk about your wife Kogami. What's she like?

Kogami: My wife...

Why am I being so hesitant? My wife is supposed to be one of the things I love talking about.

Kogami: I rather not, it's a touchy subject for me. Maybe later... if you are still around.

Takeo: Huh? What do you-

Shinji: There you are, everyone is waiting!

Shinji? When did he arrive?

Kogami: Everyone? Are you talking about me and Takeo, or just one of us?

Shinji: Both of you! If you don't hurry up Monokuma might not keep the end of his bargain, and if that doesn't happen we may never get a chance to get more clues. [Leave]

Kogami: He's more lively than before, wonders where the confident boost came from.

Takeo: Kogami, I know you must be having a hard time since you hurt Koneko and you don't want to talk about your wife, but he's something for you.

Getting crush... by big man... hug... seeing light right above me... goodbye cruel world...

Kogami: Taaaaa.....keo...

Takeo: See you in the cafeteria, and just to let you know were still friends. [Leave]

I don't think were going to the cafeteria, I think were going to the staircase. Oh well, as long as I don't get a hug from him that's all that matters.

Kogami: I'm starting to feel a sort of pity to his girlfriend, hopefully, he doesn't do this on a daily basis.

[Move to Staircase]

Shinji: Sorry guys, I just found them so that's why it took me a while to get them here.

Moka: We're not in a hurry so don't worry, although only one of them showed up.

Shinji: Huh? Kogami, where is Takeo? Don't tell me he thought we were meeting up in the cafeteria again.

Kogami: Since you had the answer before I said anything, I won't respond anymore. It's like telling someone the answer to a puzzle that requires a single move, it removes the excitement of overcoming a problem right in front you... and also pity since you feel they need for something easy.

Makise: Do you always have to answer things with something complicated? Even in the science community, we want things to stay simple.

Akagi: Don't be so upset Makise, he did confirm why Takeo wasn't around.

Yuno: So does that mean we won't be able to get to the new areas? Alright, I'll bring him in so we can get to the new locations already. [Leave]

Hold on! I don't why I noticed it just now, but...

Kogami: Looks everyone was able to overcome the angst. I'm hoping it was because of their own choice and not because you forced through blackmail and threats.

Yami: Of course we don't. Unlike certain people, we try to connect to them, not extorting or bribing them.

Nagisa: Did someone really try to do that? Who!?

Death: I agree with you Nagisa, whoever is doing these crimes should be punished.

Let's just hope Yami doesn't point at-

Yami: Kogami Richiko, now you don't have to interrogate everyone and you can leave them to their business.

Nagisa: Kogami, the person I trusted the most after Sousuke, how could you resort to such things!?

Kogami: Thank you Yami, I really wanted more heat to come after dealing with a paranoia e[isode that involves traitor.

Josuke: ...!

Maki: There is a traitor among us! Who!?

Aigis: Base on my analysis mode somebody's heart beat is exhibition an unusual speed. I just need to analyze everyone individually to confirm who it be-

Light: I think Kogami just said it out of nerve so don't take it too seriously, besides he has a good reason for his actions.

Death: What can justify bribery? People only do that when they try to force choices in their favor.

Light: The person who he bribed was Yuno, and we all know how dangerous she can be.

Nagisa: Believe me I have a first-hand experience with her. She's someone nobody should try to make mad because she might pull a knife on you.

Josuke: So should we try to control her? Watch out for her in case she tries-

Yuno: I'm back and I brought Takeo here, I have to explain to him why we were meeting here instead of the cafeteria.

Takeo: Sorry, I'm not really that smart.

Makise: Don't say that Takeo everybody makes mistakes so calling you're stupid for that isn't good.

Monokuma: But you should never deny the fact Ms.Kurisu.

Yami: Monokuma, have you open up the new locations?

Monokuma: As a bear of his words, of course, I did. In fact, you can all enter now if you wa-

*sprint noises*

And off they go to the new areas despite Monokuma not even finishing his sentence. I'm surprised smart people like Light and Makise are part of them, maybe they didn't want to hear what else Monokuma has to say?

Monokuma: aaaannnttt! Hey, I still have something to say! There's also a new place available going down right there in that basement!

Kogami: Oh is that so? Good thing I waited, now I'll be able to check the place by my lonesome.

Aigis: I'm here to Kogami, I would also like to investigate to that location.

Death: And I don't trust you or her that you will tell everything about that, so I'm coming whether you like it or not.

Never mind then, I'm going to that location with an Android and a gunner obsesses with symmetry.

Kogami: Then again weirder things happened to me before, especially if you studied at Hope's Peak.

[Move to Basement]

Death: What is this place and why is there so many wine barrels? Doesn't Monokuma know how long it will take to get all of these in the perfect position?

Aigis: Base on everyone's reactions towards these issues, they will not address it. Also Death the barrels are not the only thing that will need to be fixed if you want to achieve perfect symmetry, the bottles inside cases are haphazardly placed. Also the amount of liquid inside isn't right.

Death: This will be difficult, but I am a patient man so I will dedicate my time to accomplish the tasks.

Aigis: I see, but it will probably take you days considering the huge amount here and also there is a huge empty gap at the right that needs to be filled up.

That "huge" gap doesn't really take much space. About enough to fit a person with some elbow room.

Kogami: Enough with Death's conquest, you have an idea what this place is? I have a guess, but the Android might have a better answer?

Aigis: I think it's called a wine cellar since the barrels have the name of wine brands on them.

Kogami: Don't tell me you know them because you have an issue?

Aigis: Negative I do not have alcoholism because I would shut down if someone places a huge amount of liquid inside me.

Death: By shut down do you mean you would die?

Aigis: Yes, so it would be best not to shove down any of these inside me or throw me in a huge body of water, otherwise I will no longer be around and another Class Trial will happen with you as the culprit.

Kogami: I don't think it's really a good idea to tell two potential killers about a special way to kill you.

Death: I would never kill anyone, I don't plan to play anyone's game especially a psychopath like Monokuma.

Kogami: But you are the Ultimate Gunner, so your the one we should be watching out for after Yami and Koneko.

Death: I don't shoot anyone innocent only when I have to.

Aigis: So most likely reason for him to be the killer of a Class Trial, noted in my database.

Talking to these two I might need to pick up a drink here soon. Not to do anything with Aigis, but for myself because I... I shouldn't even be considering this option.

[Examine Empty Space]

Death: Alright I need some time here alone to measure the width and length of the space and then adding it to space occupied, afterward I need to measure the barrels, the cases, the boxes, the-

Kogami: So Aigis, why do you think we have such extra space?

Aigis: I don't know, but Monokuma probably added this for a purpose? An observation made on our enemy shows he wouldn't do something unless it has a purpose.

Kogami: Makes sense since Monokuma clearly thought everything about this mansion from rooms to the hidden secrets. I wonder if this place has one since it would match the patterns of Monokuma's movements.

Aigis: I have a question, do you think the rooms we live in have secrets too? In the side of my room, there is a small hole that is about the size of an eye that is shared to the room next to me.

Kogami: Monokumas has cameras already so why would he need that? Maybe the excitement of seeing a robotic human-like that is worth the trouble.

Aigis: Is there something special being robotic?

Death: Why are you not listing down everything I'm saying!?

Kogami: We left you alone like you asked, enjoyed your alone time?

Death: Yes I did, because now I have the perfect plan to tackle... Gah! I forgot because thought you guys were going to help me! Does this mean I have to rethink my 100 step plan from the beginning?

Kogami: Don't ask me it's your issue.

Aigis: Kogami is right, take responsibility.

[Examine Barrel]

*knock, knock*

Kogami: Something is inside there and it's clearly not going to make me drunk. Death why not shoot it down, with your finger gun?

Death: You know it won't shoot anything even if I make a noise.

Aigis: Understood eliminating barrel.

*smaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!*

Aigis: Barrel has been destroyed, please check the contents.

Kogami: A small book and a key?

Death: Can't you try that to the walls so we escape this place?

Aigis: Negative, the walls are too thick and hard that I can't destroy them with my bare fist. I need my rockets and bullets to do that.

Are you sure you weren't made by the same creators of Monokuma?

Aigis: Negative, I don't have a black and white palette and I have no desire to spread despair like the bear.

[Examine Small Book]

Kogami: An interesting book that uses subtle remarks to explain the background and motivation of the killer. The Cask of Amontillado by Mr. Poe.

Death: I've never heard of this book or the author and I always review the historical and literary work of known times and authors to train myself to be the next head after my father.

Aigis: Impressive, but I don't know if it is advisable to read the book of someone named Mr. Poe. It sounds like the name of a fictional character, and believing in fiction isn't a good idea in life.

Kogami: Says the robot girl who clearly belongs in the world of fiction. If you're around then that means unicorns and kilted men breathing fire from their crotch can exist.

Aigis: Breathing fire from the crotch will result in 3rd-degree burns in the-

Death: So what is The Cask of Amontillado about? You seem to know about it.

Kogami: I fancy subtle stories since their good training to find hidden clues I could discover with people's words and riddles I'm always tested with. This is one is about a man offended by the insensitive remarks of another and decided to get revenge by sealing him in the wine cellar to kill him through suffocation.

Aigis: But how would that be possible? While he could trap him inside the cellar, it would be possible for the person to escape using anything here to break down the door keeping. Also, it takes a while for somebody to suffocate inside an open space like a cellar.

Kogami: The man killed him with an unusual method by making a brick wall from scratch while trapping the man he intends to kill inside the cellar. With the brick wall sealed inside and the cellar having very little air it was less than an hour before he suffocated to death.

Death: That's something I never want to see happen.

Aigis: I believe that story should be kept a secret from everyone, it would be bad if anyone thinks about using the same method.

Kogami: I'll take the book since I'm the only one who knows the story. Don't worry I'll keep this safe.

I'm sure this is a good idea, I doubt anyone will be able to get inside my room unless there is something hidden about it.

[Examine Barrels]

Death: There are 50 barrels in total, all varying from shape and size.

Kogami: That means they all must weight differently.

Aigis: If you compare the height of the cellar to the barrel it will allow someone to reach the top bars use to keep this structure stable.

Kogami: So if you drop someone from the top of the barrel it won't kill, no cause of death by falling this time.

Death: But what if someone uses one of these barrels to crush someone?

Aigis: They will die and their bones will be broken in all parts of the body.

Kogami: Good thing we won't be sending someone to examine the body for an autopsy report.

With everything here I don't think there's much we can check. Death is probably going to stay around, but Aigis...

Kogami: Aigis, if you don't mind I could use your company going upstairs.

Aigis: Very well, it will be more effective if two people examine something instead of one.

It's great to know someone is having my back and it isn't Light or Yuno.

Kogami: Charm is one of the best traits I have and I'm proud of it.

[Move to 2nd Floor Hallway]

Well the new areas are definitely new, and not just because they weren't accessible before. This hallway is already completely different than the first floor with the design looking like a government building. Clean and well kept, but bland with the design having no color.

Kogami: Still what Aigis said could be true, there might secrets in this place that is waiting to be discovered.

Aigis: Then why talk to yourself? Isn't it more advisable to examine the place instead of monologuing?

Kogami: I sometimes have to do that so the voice in my head can concentrate.

Aigis: Are you suffering a multiple personality disorder?

Kogami: Nope, but my mind does wonder a bit so to prevent it from going too far off I need to give myself a pep talk once in a while.

Maybe I should do things that should discipline my mind and nothing related to puzzles because that is too focus. I don't want to repeat the time I almost got ran over because I was looking at the newspaper instead of the road.

Kogami: So Aigis how do you suggest we check this hallway then?

Aigis: We should ask the people who probably had done that, it would save time and allow us to move to the rooms as quickly as possible,

Kogami: And who do you suggest we talk to, it's pretty clear you have an idea with that computer of yours.

Aigis: Maki is crouching down and examining the bottom of the walls, and Takeo is pounding the wall with his fist.

*smash*

Is that Takeo's power, I hope he doesn't go after me with that power. Then again he's a sweet guy so he wouldn't do anything to me... he should if I want to make out alive.

Aigis: Takeo has damaged the wall by leaving a dent, but it will take over 9000 punches before it would break.

And it will probably take 9 punches before Takeo breaks his hand.

Kogami: Now who should we talk to among the two goodie goobers. Probably the guy who will hurt himself if we don't do anything.

Aigis: Are you talking about Maki Nishikino, because that would be incorrect. She isn't going hurt her back until she remains in that position for 10 more minutes.

[Talk to Takeo]

Takeo: Hello! Can you hear me from there!?

Kogami: Good to see you're making progress with your training grasshopper, you must continue the path of the imbecile punching the wall.

Takeo: I don't know what that means, but thank you for the compliment.

Aigis: It's clear Takeo isn't familiar with the word imbecile, should I explain to him what it means?

Kogami: No you shouldn't because we don't want the next Class Trial to happen too soon and without me around too.

Takeo: So did Josuke ask me you guys to check on me? Tell him I'm sorry that he can't hear me from the other side of the wall even when I'm punching it as hard as I can.

Kogami: The wall is soundproof if it wasn't it wouldn't be possible for our Medic to miss your racket.

Aigis: I understand so that's why you're damaging it, but I must regret to inform you that Josuke didn't send us here.

Takeo: Really? My bad!

Kogami: You don't need to feel guilty it's not like you did anything wrong, unlike certain people. So where is Josuke? I'm guessing with the hints he's in the room sharing this wall with the hallway.

Takeo: Impressive Kogami, you figured out he was in the Generator Room.

Aigis: Generator Room has been added to the map of the vicinity, I suggest we investigate the place and talk to Josuke.

Kogami: I wonder Aigis the man can wait when were serving a lovely woman an ear to listen.

We still need to talk to Maki and check what she's doing, maybe important or maybe a waste of time.

[Talk to Maki]

Kogami: Not looking for your contact lens, aren't you Maki?

Maki: You scared me! Of course, I don't wear contacts, I keep my eyes perfectly healthy you know!

Kogami: And you're saying all people who need to wears glasses doesn't their eyes perfectly healthy?

Maki: No...I... GAAAAAHHHHH!!!

Aigis: Kogami you shouldn't forget why we approach her, we need to understand why she has crawled down to the floor.

Maki: You could just ask you big jerk, I was checking if the floor had extra padding. What else am I doing you, idiots!?

Kogami: Usually you call only one person an idiot not multiple guess that means you're not usual.

Maki: Don't you ever call me that! I'm like any perfect girl you know!

Guess I know what ticks you, first Yuno, then Koneko and now you. By the time I'm done here whether through someone murdering my punk ass or escaping this place I'll probably be put in all these girl's most hated list. Just like middle school all over again!

Kogami: Never mind my insult, so why do you think the floor has padding? It's something that many people don't piece together quite quickly.

Maki: First of all I was here for half an hour so I would notice it eventually and second isn't it strange that no footsteps are heard even when the floor is just a bunch of tiles.

Aigis: That is strange. Tiled flooring has a surface that can easily make noise when sometimes comes into contact with it with a sustainable force.

Kogami: So our Idol figured that out and checked out what was so special. You probably know why it's like this by now since you do a surprisingly analytical mind.

Maki: I'm an honor student and top of my class impressive for a girl this young. While I have no definite answer, when I kicked the wall it made noise, but not when stomping the floor so I assume it has something inside that prevents noise from being made.

Aigis: I see, so while we haven't found the complete answer we do understand the surface of it.

Maki: What did you just say Aigis?

Aigis: We know the basis of the answer, even if it's not complete.

Kogami: You notice the pun to Maki, come on laugh like I did.

Maki: You didn't laugh at all Kogami, I saw you groaning like I did.

Was I? Maybe it's a reflex or Aigis has that effect on everyone.

Kogami: Now to the Generator Room and see what Josuke knows about here. I hope we can trust his answers, unlike last time we talk.

Aigis: But wasn't his answers at the Class Trial correct? He wasn't the culprit.

Kogami: I'm talking about another time, but you aren't going to learn them. I'm keeping it inside my little head.

[Move to Generator Room]

A laboratory like area with four giant machines. three clearly generators with one acting as a computer. I notice the three generators have different signs on top of them with one saying equipment, the other lights and hardware and finally computer and main facility. The computer is actually a giant monitor with the main system in front, but I wouldn't try using it considering how complicated it looks and the many buttons it can have. I wouldn't be surprised if it had a button that will blow everyone up... at least that would get rid of Monokuma... I think.

Kogami: Aigis are we in your room right now because this looks like a place you would live.

Aigis: You have seen my room already Kogami and this doesn't match the layout of it. Of course, if you suggest that I change it like this I will although I feel strange doing it.

Kogami: It's just your run with electricity instead of blood and this place is going to keep you pumpi- I mean active! Got to remember you're not the toilet I name Flushy.

Aigis: It's true I need electricity, but too much would overcharge me and shut down my system. Generators create unlimited energy and while they give it out little by little eventually I will overflow and burn out.

Kogami: I get it, but try to say your words carefully next time, unlike now you might end up following rule number one about robots a bit too much.

Aigis: But isn't serving humans a good thing?

Kogami: Not that service Aigis since it breaks the law of everything should make sense. Something Monokuma keeps breaking over and over like a baby playing with a thousand piece puzzle, it will be trap in a cycle of breaking over and over until the end of time.

Aigis: I'm sorry there is still plenty of things I've yet to learn about this world. All I hope is that I don't offend anyone while I continue learning.

Kogami: I could be your instructor, but the last guy I mentored played O.P.E.R.A.T.I.O.N in real life. If you know what that game you wouldn't want to imagine how it pieced out.

Josuke: Seriously!? That guy must be one creepy asshole!

Kogami: He's still my student so even if he is a creepy asshole, I'm not going to let him be insulted like that.

Josuke: Easy now I don't want a fight. I actually admire how much loyalty you have for him even after what he did... Unless you were playing with him.

Kogami: Too bloody and I rather not be like a puzzle with all the pieces scrambled. Not everything in place and completely unorganized, unlike you Josuke.

Josuke: Really? Thanks for giving me the complime-

Aigis: Kogami do I need to remind you that we came here to learn about this place from Josuke?

I nearly forgot about that! I should remember chatting can wait and learning the secrets of Monokuma's Bizarre World comes now! Alright, Kogami don't do something stupid like presenting your Hope's Peak badge to everyone I meet.

[Talk to Josuke]

Kogami: So Takeo was outside pounding the door, which is something you told him to do. Don't try hiding it, because you know how bad you are at hiding things from me.

Josuke: Yeah, yeah I remember Kogami so please keep it down. The last thing I want is to become a target again.

Aigis: I do not understand why this tense atmosphere has risen, but I think it would be best to not know. Otherwise unnecessary conflict with rise and cause more discord to the group.

Josuke: You see Takeo tripped and screamed earlier so I checked on him. It was weird Makise and Akagi didn't hear anything, so I checked out the wall. Takeo didn't hear anything I was hitting it from this side, so I had him hit it from the hallway. You can guess that the walls are soundproof, probably to keep the noise made by the generator.

Aigis: The noise is pretty loud and if we stand closer we may even block each other's voice. Do you want to test it out?

Kogami: Unless it's somebody ranting or yelling at me I rather keep my ears from bleeding and going out in the most stupid way even Monokuma wouldn't believe.

Aigis: I don't think ears bleed, but it might just be because I'm not someone with real ears.

That begs the question if she can end up deaf, a dangerous piece of knowledge if somebody ever targets her.

Josuke: That's about it with Takeo, and the generators are what you expect. They keep the place running with all the cameras and monitors Monokuma installed, but the wires are too damn big! I almost got myself killed by getting my entire leg wrap in one.

Kogami: They are wires, not snakes. Unless they are a master of espionage, they aren't going to constrict you to death.

Josuke: The wires aren't the ones killing me, it would be the generators themselves. Unless you shut them down by plugging one of the wires you'll get shocked and with all that electricity flowing into you, it's not going to be pretty.

Aigis: So it's like overloading, but with people with flesh.

It must be strange talking all of these in front of Aigis who probably doesn't understand how the human body works. I wonder how something like the lessons they teach you in school would be like for her.

Josuke: If you want to know anything else, you should ask Makise and Akagi since they've been expecting the computer and generators respectively. I'll see Takeo since leaving him alone too long will make him worried. He's a teddy bear, but someone stuck in the worse playground. [Leave]

Kidnappings and killings aren't playgrounds, they don't have things that would be entertaining even if they are dangerous. Then again regular playgrounds are like that except with murders and mayhem its scratches and crying kids.

[Talk to Akagi]

Akagi: I see so this generator controls the kitchen equipment, the appliances in the rooms like the water heater and the other things that need to be plug in. Light and hardware are things activated automatically even without wires, but the last thing I don't get it.

Aigis: Akagi can we intrude a little time from you?

Akagi: Oh you two! I'm surprised you didn't check this place yet, I'm certain you would have been done here by now.

Kogami: Akagi we only got her and since this was the only room we knew the name of we decided to check this place.

Akagi: I see, I see well then how can I help you? Don't be shy with whatever request you make me, as long as I get something to eat from you.

If you meant this one guy I knew back where I came from you would have stopped him from trying dangerous stuff and save us from being victims of those despicable acts.

Aigis: So the generators control everything in the mansion like any place. Do you have a schematic for the positions of the wires and where do they connect?

Akagi: Sorry, but there was no such thing. I think if we ask Monokuma he would give it to us, but he's the type who's too lazy to help. He'll probably say something "I know your host, but I can't do everything for you guys! Try to do something for once you lazy no good *mumble, mumble*."

Kogami: Perfect Monokuma impression!

It's almost like she's Monokuma, but that's impossible. I think it is considering how much of a sweetheart she's like.

Kogami: So do you think the wires are strong enough to strangle or the generator is too powerful for someone to touch?

Akagi: That's a creepy question, but I guess we should consider the possibility since we're in this situation. Honestly, I think so, but I might be mistaken so don't take my word for it. Right now I'm going to check what type of generator this is because it might give us a clue on what type of place we really are at and who these kidnappers could be.

Aigis: Understood, you know you sound like Sousuke a lot more lately.

Akagi: Maybe because I tend to mimic people if I see them as admirable. Anyway, thank you and see you soon.

Such a nice girl, I just hope not too nice that she'll be tricked by someone and lose her life by a scheming monster.

[Talk to Makise]

Makise: Looks like you finally showed up. What took you so long?

Kogami: Why not I let lovely assistant Aigis explain the answer to that curious question.

Aigis: Is that my role, I think I can accept it. Makise the reason we only arrived at this area is that we investigated the place down the first floor first. It was an old wine cellar that contains barrels and cases of wines.

Makise: Is that so, I should investigate it myself if I ever have the time.

Probably anytime considering Monokuma isn't doing anything pressuring us after the last Class Trial.

Kogami: So you must know a lot about computers considering you're a scientist.

Makise: Don't assume things, I'm not the one who usually manage the computers. Someone else better tends to do it for the group.

Kogami: Spoiled much, guess that's why you are the Ultimate Scientist.

Aigis: Spoiled is not a good thing Makise, you must seek help immediately. Should I schedule you an appointment-

Makise: Like I need help! Anyway, it's not a computer I can figure this one out since it's clearly not something any normal person deal with. I have to guess whoever made Monokuma also made this computer.

Aigis: Is it possible to be the main computer for Monokuma?

Makise: Don't think the kidnappers would let us close to something very important considering they just executed one of us this soon.

Kogami: Speaking of which, if we saw this before we might have suspected Clemont as the mastermind, but because he's dead that isn't happening. Unless the video was a lie, but lies aren't made to be that complicated.

Makise: I agree, even if I want to believe Clemont is still alive, it is impossible that execution was faked. I just hope we can figure things out before someone else takes Monokuma's offer.

Aigis: So let's remember the computer in case we find a clue that could help uncover this. I believe this is important.

Kogami: Usually I dictate that and everyone agrees, but I can let you take the helm. Makise you want to come with us or keep checking the computer?

Makise: I'll be testing the buttons out and see how it works, so go ahead. Just to let you know that some of the buttons don't do anything and while that may be a good thing it also doesn't help find the clues about this place.

Kogami: Away we go Aigis, get ready for jetpack mode!

Aigis: Jetpack mode activated! Please fasten your seat belt at all times Kogami Richiko, otherwise, you might fall several feet.

Is she serious about having a jet pack mode?

AIgis: Error. It's inaccessible at this moment, please check again later. I'm sorry to disappoint you Kogami.

Kogami: It's alright, the story of my life am I right... anyway, let's check the other rooms here.

[Move to Military Room]

First a room that looks like it was base on Aigis and now were in a room that definitely looks like somewhere Sousuke would stay. Barrack like structures, bunk beds surrounding the vicinity and weapons like rifles, grenades, and droids it feels like we've been drafted to the military. And the recruits joining me and Aigis are Light Yagami, Nagisa Shigetsu, and Yami whatever her last name is. I'm not surprised to see Light and maybe Yami, but with someone as small and fragile looking like Nagisa I don't think he's military ready. Then again you should never forget that judging a book by its cover isn't going to end well.

Aigis: This place looks like a military facility, which doesn't make sense considering we are inside a mansion.

Kogami: Maybe Monokuma redecorates the entire thing to fit all his victims. The last place would fit you and now this military barrack is patterned after Sousuke.

Aigis: But I don't live in a generator, if I must guess who that room would be base on, it would be Clemont the Ultimate Inventor.

Kogami: I guess that makes sense, but wouldn't it be better if Clemont's theme room was a workshop?

Aigis: I don't think he makes puppets or woodwork so a generator would make more sense for someone who invents machines.

Didn't realize Clemont was Pinocchio the man from the fairy tale.

Aigis: That's Gepetto, Pinocchio is the wooden puppet who wants to become a real boy.

Kogami: Do I talk to myself out loud, maybe if I ask Aigis she will tell me-

Aigis: Yes you do, and you're doing that right now. I suggest only thinking next time instead of speaking.

Light: I don't want to bother your chatting, but don't you have bigger priorities? You two weren't with the group when we search this place, along with Death.

Kogami: Don't know you if you realize this, but there was an extra room downstairs. It was a basement like a place which I suggest you check after this place.

Aigis: Isn't the basement area a wine-

Kogami: Let him figure it out considering he's better at investigating than me.

And honestly, I don't want to talk to him as much as I can. He acts nice, but something inside me tells me not to trust him.

Light: Alright I'll pay a visit there after I finish looking around here. So do you want me to explain what we learned about this place?

Aigis: Kogami you don't look please, should we reject his offer?

Kogami: Aigis we need to put behind our personal feelings and do what's needed. So while I may not like it, we need these little pieces of info to understand the big picture here.

Light: I apologize if I did something to upset you.

Something tells me that apology isn't genuine, but what can I do then accept.

[Talk to Light]

Light: So as you can tell this place is a military like area, that means the walls have extra plating and it's soundproof too.

Kogami: Guessing Monokuma loves to keep everything orderly. Surprising considering how we view as a crazy psychopath that would usually be a nuisance if he wasn't a killer robot.

Aigis: Is that all we can learn about the facility? I think it would be better if we investigate this place further if that's all we know.

Light: I haven't finished yet Aigis, can I?

Aigis: I apologize, maybe Kogami is rubbing off on me.

And you make it sound like a bad thing, I'm not that bad of a person... sometimes.

Light: Well the weapons around here are all real, but they can't be used unless you spend Monocoins to rent them. Pretty expensive, but it makes sense considering how easy would it be to kill someone with one of these weapons.

Kogami: So if we ever find another murder involving these weapons, we need to see who has a lot of fortune with them. Guess that wouldn't be so difficult to figure out.

Aigis: I suggest we stow them away in order to prevent them from being used.

Light: That's not possible since Monokuma doesn't allow anyone to touch them unless you paid. Nagisa tried to do what you said, but he got shocked and if he tries again it will leave almost brain dead.

Kogami: Almost? Wouldn't Monokuma go all the way?

Light: He doesn't want to kill anyone if they didn't break any rules or got caught at the Class Trial, it would leave a bad image of him as a host.

Aigis: At least he's doing his job right, otherwise he'll never succeed his end goals.

Light: That isn't a good thing, it also means Monokuma is a lot smarter than we thought. He might have a trick or two prepared to incite another murder.

Kogami: Monokuma moves in strange ways, like the snake in the mobile game Snake.

Hopefully, no one has beat my high score of 10 points yet, and by no one I mean my former roommate.

Light: If you want more details you have to ask Yami and Nagisa since they are the ones checking the weapons and beds. I would be careful if you don't want to end up triggering something that'll only make things worse for us.

Kogami: When do I ever make things worse for the group?

Aigis: Didn't you end up placing Clemont to the storage room where he saw the fake shooting?

Kogami: You didn't help in that too, you even supported me. Want a flashback to remember?

Aigis: I already have, so that isn't necessary. Thank you for the offer of giving me more painful memories.

Your welcome Aigis, it's the least I can do. Seriously it's the least thing I should do.

[Talk to Yami]

Yami: Glad I investigated this bed, if I hadn't I would have missed this secret.

Kogami: You found something Yami, mind sharing us?

Yami: EEEEEEKKKKK!!!

Aigis: Are we screaming now? Alright, I will follow suit... AAAAAAAHHHHH....AH. Did I do it right?

Yami: I don't need to be reminded that I screamed!? Just forget what you saw alright!?

Kogami: And here's the next contestant in who hates Kogami the most, with Koneko in the lead.

Yami: Oh yeah, Koneko said something about needing my help, does it have something to do with you?

Having an assassin being asked for help by someone who really hates you isn't something you want. Unless your into that which I don't judge.

Kogami: Hmm... Yami what's the secret you found? I love this idle chatting, but it might be better if we get to what you learned.

Yami: Guess you want to avoid the topic, not like I can blame you. You see under this bed was rubber gloves.

Aigis: Rubber gloves? Those are great when handling running electricity and keeping of fingerprints from evidence.

Kogami: Thank you for the insightful information Aigis, I love how supportive you are.

Aigis: Thank you for the praise Kogami, I'm glad I can be of help.

Yami: So these gloves I think it would be better keeping them here in case we need them. Of course, it might be good to hide it to prevent anyone from trying to use it in a murder attempt.

Kogami: You worry too much. Murder can happen anytime, but unless it involves the generators these gloves are not going to help.

Yami: I guess unless you're trying to hide something your hand. Maybe a tattoo or a scar that you had before... or maybe a wound you might receive in your hand.

Aigis: I see, but I since that situation hasn't come out we shouldn't worried.

Yami: Still it would be better if we keep this between us, otherwise someone might end up using this in an attempt against someone's life.

The only people who would know to use these would be Nagisa and Light and I don't think Light is dumb enough to use something only a few people are aware of and I doubt Nagisa would try to kill someone.

Kogami: Great, now if you excuse me it would be best if we talk to Nagisa and not the assassin that Koneko needs help from. Alright, bye!

Yami: Don't worry Kogami you wouldn't even get away if you try to run. I'm that good in my job.

[Talk to Nagisa]

Nagisa: I wonder where Monokuma gets all these weapons?

Kogami: Do you want to ask him? It's probably going to be impossible to get him to answer, but at least you tried.

Nagisa: I see your still your usual self Kogami, and you're with Aigis this time instead of Makise.

Aigis: Hello there, and sorry I'm not Makise Kurisu.

Nagisa: It's alright not saying it's wrong, but a bit unusual.

Aigis: So do you understand anything about these weapons? Anything something worth noticing?

Nagisa: Well I think Light told you about how they can't be used if they weren't rent so let's skip that part. The weapons look standard and probably work like normal, but if you don't know how to use them you might hurt yourself. There's no instruction which means it wouldn't be a good idea for someone inexperienced to use these.

Kogami: Makes sense since Monokuma wouldn't risk giving away weapons that can be too powerful for him to control. Like a giant mech or a drill that will break through the walls.

But then again he has a giant version of himself and plenty of traps to kill us in case we piss him enough.

Nagisa: Other than that the only thing worth knowing is that the weapons vary in price. The single use ones like droids and grenades will cost half a gun and the bazookas will cost double the gun. Gun is worth 100 MonoCoins.

Aigis: I have none so I can't access them.

Kogami: I do, but I'm not too interested in using guns. Thanks for the chat, but me and Aigis have to check the rest of the areas now.

Nagisa: It's alright, I'll be staying to make sure we can learn as much as we can about the weapons. Don't worry I wouldn't ever use a gun, so trust me to handle them.

There's still the grenades and bazookas, but I think he isn't mentioning them since their no duhs. Hopefully, he's a man of his word otherwise we might get a headshot soon enough or a testicle shot, something I never want to see in real life.

Aigis: Let's proceed to the next room then Kogami, it would be beneficial to learn everything as soon as possible.

[Move to Classroom]

Kogami: Boring! Can we move on to the next area, please!?

Aigis: You don't seem to like this place, is there anything wrong here? Analyzing the surroundings it looks like a normal classroom.

Kogami: With all the necessary pieces like the chairs, desks, chalkboard, educational books and a teacher's table in front?

Aigis: Yes and there is a bunch of papers and pens placed properly on each desk.

Kogami: Let me out!!!

Moka: Is something wrong Moka? Did you have a bad experience in here before?

Aigis: Negative, he never went in until now. Maybe the experience wasn't in this specific location but in another classroom.

Shinji: Still it shouldn't leave a traumatic scream like that. It's like I freak out every time I see a dad in public.

Because of your issues with your father. I can't say whatever happened to me here before was as bad as your situation, but school classrooms aren't the fondest areas for me. Every time I look at this place, I remember all the incidents that got me in trouble for all my antics, and the teachers who either hated me or show me respect like I respect them. Of course, the arrangement was different and the classroom was a clear white square, instead of a light blue texture that engulfs the wall. That might mean this room is meant to represent Nagisa, a teacher with blue hair. Guess Monokuma does designing as a hobby when he doesn't kidnap people and force them to kill each other.

Kogami: OK....OK... I think I fine. I just need to figure out what's going on here and see if there's anything special. Once that's done I can tell Aigis to drag me out of this room.

Aigis: If that's what you want then I will fulfill them... even if it will hurt quite a lot with the force I can input.

I can take it as long as I have my determination and the strong feeling of utter hatred toward this room!

Shinji: You really don't like school doesn't you Kogami?

For those words I will select you as the person I will question first!

[Talk to Moka]

Moka: If you're not feeling good then why not go out and breathe some fresh air.

Kogami: You do realize there isn't natural air since we can't even go outside?

Moka: Oh yeah! I forgotten we were trapped inside a building. I should be used to it by now, but I'm afraid if that happens I feel like I'll never leave.

Kogami: I wouldn't know if we will leave or not, but you do realize the outside world can be pretty bad.

Moka: Of course I know that I'm not a child! I'm pretty careful myself so you shouldn't worry!

Aigis: I think Kogami is talking about another matter.

Moka: Another matter? I don't get what you're talking about?

I can't tell if Moka is in denial or dense, heck even I remember it to when I only heard it yesterday, but she should be aware of this.

Kogami: Monokuma said that we are not in our world but in his. If what he said is true then is it possible the outside world is any different.

Moka: Is it? ...Hmmm, you might be right, but is this any better?

That's something I didn't expect. I thought Moka was the type who doesn't think things with too much insight.

Kogami: What do you mean Moka? Outside here might be more chaotic and dangerous, at least here we have food, water, and a bed even with the Killing Game.

Moka: That is true, but who can say what the outside world is like. We never know if Monokuma is telling the truth, but all we know is that this world is somewhere we don't want to be. Whether what happens outside is for the better or worse, we still need to take the risk instead of being prisoners here.

Aigis: Words of wisdom that I looked up on. Thank you for the moral boost you gave.

Moka: It's nothing I just want to say my piece... besides it's not like I was the only one who came up with the idea.

Kogami: Got anything else to say about that Moka, it seems there's more to it then what we know.

Moka: Same can be said about you, it sounds like you know how the outside world is like. Do you belong in the same world as Monokuma?

Do I really!?

Kogami: ... Yes, I do... and believe me when I say that world is like a living Hell. If we really are still there staying here might be for the best.

Aigis: Even with all the dangers? We lose Sousuke and Clemont already.

Kogami: Yes, because in that world we all can die at any moment. It's just it's more painful considering how everywhere looks like society has given up, and that we don't live at all just survive.

Moka: Still you shouldn't give up... maybe things could be better... maybe we can make things better if this is you're wo-

Kogami: I wouldn't hold my breath in that. Miracles don't really happen at the drop of a hat, and that's probably not going to happen if we leave.

Moka: ... Just try one more time, even if it's just for me...

Aigis: Kogami will you?

Kogami: Maybe... if things do go well as I hope it would...

Why have I given up hope!? Don't I have more things to lose if I don't believe in those!? I have a wife and the people who admire me, I shouldn't lose hope for their sake... right?

Shinji: Kogami... I...

Aigis: Moka, it might be better if we stay out of their conversation it seems Shinji is going to try cheering Kogami up.

Moka: Really? Alright, then I'll trust Shinji to handle this. Besides, it's not like there's anything special about this. [Leave]

At least I got that much from my serious talk.

Aigis: Shinji please do you best. [Leave]

[Talk to Shinji]

Shinji: Kogami it seems that you also gave up. Yesterday you saw me do the same thing so you know that I understand how you feel so-

Kogami: So you're going to make it up by helping me right now like I did to you before.

Shinji: I guess you understand what I'm trying to do, but you should know I'm not really good at these.

Kogami: No you're not, but I think that's why this is pretty effective.

Shinji: Really? How so Kogami?

I'm shocked Shinji hasn't realized why he's already helping. I should probably let him know why.

Kogami: Because you're making the effort despite how foreign it is to you. You the one who's supposed to be cheered up, not the one who cheering up and yet you still try to do it despite how it's already set-up.

Shinji: I know, but that's why I want to help you. It's clear that you care about me so I want to do whatever it takes to support one of the few people who actually showed any type of love to me.

Kogami: Like a brother, I hope because you know my relationship status.

Shinji: I don't really care about that type of relationships, honestly I'm not even ready for those.

Kogami: You should also remember I'm not the only one like that. I'm pretty sure Aigis and Moka feel the same thing since they trust you enough to handle me.

Shinji: I know... you know before I would doubt it and just see it as a hoax, but when I hear you say it I'm certain about it. All of you understand how I feel and I can relate to all of your concerns... I guess this is what it's like to have people who care about you.

Kogami: When did this conversation go from cheering me up to having the depress and despair guy cheering up the kid who wants to help him.

Shinji: I don't know, I told you I wasn't good at these. I just hope you understand how I feel... because I never get to show others how I feel about them.

Kogami: Yes I do and I think that's why I have a brighter perspective about things. Seeing you and Moka's spirit rising up makes me feel that everything was worth-

Moka: I see you're all better now Kogami. I'm sorry, but I want to talk to Shinji for a bit. Is it alright-

Kogami: Go right ahead, just to let you know he did a better job then you did.

Moka: Hey! I tried my best so please don't be so mean!

Her expression is cute, yet not the point it looks like a child. A teenager feeling sad with a pinch of wrath.

Aigis: Now if we're done here I suggest moving on Kogami. One last room before we can end this investigation.

Kogami: Why do you have to say it behind my back like a... nevermind I rather not ask. Let the duo the Puzzle King and his Robotic Assistant Continue.

Robotic Assistant: Just to let you know I did that because Moka told me to try that. He said a friend of hers does it all the time when talking with her good friend.

Do girls really do that to each other? Yet with a wife girls still remain a complete mystery that no man can cross.

[Move to Defense Room]

Moving to the next room we found last two guest, and the ones I had a running yesterday. Is that a coincidence?

FLASHBACK:

Kogami: That doesn't matter, right now we need to find a way to get Yuno to calmly accept this situation because if we don't we won't get to the new areas.

Yuno: So that's why you came here. In order to push your own plans.

FLASHBACK:

Kogami: If you're strong enough then you will, but if Monokuma does succeed it doesn't mean you were weak, it means Koneko was beyond saving.

Koneko: What did you just say!?

END:

Still it's strange to see both girls in this room with how ungirly it is. With the SWAT like uniforms pin in the walls, riot shields in abundance and paddings to keep you're joint safe it looks like this would be where you train yourself to be defensive. I wonder if Takeo is going to spend his time here practicing his guarding in hope's he could prevent murders from ever happening, Some of the guest should realize this could be a dangerous room for us considering how many things here could be use to armor up a culprit. It wouldn't surprise if Monokuma added a suit of armor just to replicate the infamous Royal Murder in history.

Koneko: ...

Yuno: Kogami you told me that this place would have clues about Monokuma or how to get out of this mansion. All I found was a book and an article that doesn't talk about anything going on.

Aigis: A book and an article, do you think they might contain something useful?

Kogami: Monokuma is the type who does things for a reason even his drinking habit. With a job like that I assume he needs something to keep himself from all the stress we give him.

Aigis: But he's threatening us, isn't it only fair for us to act the way we are?

Kogami: I never said it wasn't, just his job isn't as easy as you think. Still definitely easier then being a victim in this game of kill or be killed.

Now let's stop the gossiping about Monokuma and check out Yuno's findings.

[Talk to Yuno]

Yuno: Yes? Do you want to tell me another lie Kogami?

Calm down there boy even if she wants to tear you to pieces remember you have an android and a kickboxer backing you up. No way a stalker can overpower our powers combine... unless they turn against me which might happen with how bad of a person I am.

Kogami: Yuno you said you found two things and as a man of curiosity I would like to see those two things.

Yuno: It doesn't have anything good, but if you want to check then go right ahead.

Aigis: Are you sure we should trust Yuno, it could be trap?

When the machine doesn't trust you it's not a good sign.

Yuno: I don't hurt anyone unless I have to and the way I see i don't need to. You guys are the only things helping me escape this place.

Kogami: So were just pieces in your game chess with the master of the place. Guess I know how a puzzle piece feel.

Yuno: Does it matter to you? As long as we can find a way out it shouldn't bother you.

Kogami: Good point there Yuno, now let me see the two pieces you contain.

*drop*

The book and article. One bigger, but the other probably has more detail. Which one should I check out first?

[Examine Book]

Kogami: Now this is an interesting piece of literature and I can tell since I've read this before.

Yuno: So you know. Good because I never heard of this story.

Kogami: Aigis also heard about this story, one look at the title and she'll immediately recognize the book for good reason.

Aigis: I would... Oh! Isn't that the story you told us about? The Cask of Amonsado... no wait! It's the The Cat of Amonsado!

Kogami: The Cask of Amontillado, and with the wine cellar downstairs it's not a coincidence. All we need is a wheelbarrow full of bricks and cement mixture to complete the story's murder.

Yuno: You know I found some of that also at the place where this book was. I had no idea why they were there, but with you're explanation it's clear that Monokuma set it up so that someone could use that method of killing... which isn't that great of an idea considering how complicated it is.

Aigis: What did you do with those things anyway Yuno? It's clear there not with you so did you leave them alone?

Yuno: Yeah, I wouldn't use that if I was going to kill someone. I doubt anyone would actually since the only way to use them to kill are only known by anyone who has read this book.

Kogami: Can't they use the brick to smash someone?

Yuno: No, it's not heavy enough to kill someone with blunt force trauma. Also it wasn't made properly so it's break pretty easily if you try to smash it. The only way these could be use to murder is the same way as the story.

Those that mean if someone dies from that the only possible suspects are us four? No, if someone overheard us they might take the book to learn how those items should be use to kill.

Kogami: If that's the case why not keep the book? I don't think anybody is going to steal from you and there's no point trying to hide it from you if you know the method already.

Yuno: What are you up to Kogami? You're not like this usually so you must be up to something?

Kogami: If I am you why would you be worried? Aigis is here with us so if I ever do something suspicious she could just bring this up in order to raly everyone against me.

Aigis: That's right if Kogami ever does something wrong I will report this to everyone and then have everyone go after him with pitch forks and lit torches.

Glad you reassured me, until the part where the angry mob got involve in the story. Last thing I need is that everyone becomes the killer with me as the sole victim.

Yuno: Alright then, but I don't trust either of you for now.

Fine with me and with that chapter of our conversation done we can move on with the article. It's got to be important if Monokuma's face is in the headline.

[Examine Article]

Kogami: Aigis why not you be a dear and read this article for the three of us.

Aigis: Do deers read articles daily? I should go to the woods after we escape to see if that's true.

Yuno: And I already read this article and I don't understand what's going on. Then again if we consider what Monokuma said after the trial it might explain why the world is in that state.

The world is in that state? I think I should know, but with everything going on it's a bit of a challenge to remember.

Aigis: "The Ultimate Despair: Destruction in Europe" With Europe being the last country affected by the Ultimate Despair we thought it would remain strong and steady in the events of the Tragedy, however with the lost of many of the world's most powerful cities it seems it will soon join the suffering all other nations are facing. Paris France and Berlin Germany has been conquered and many of the military bases are unable to be contact which suggest they have been taken over by The Monokuma Army. Citizens around the region are trying to escape through boats and planes to find safer locations to reside, but with the advance warships created by the prowess and ingeniuos of the terrorist group they have been captured. This event has lead to both North America and Europe into being isolated from each other. All continents are now in there own battles without support from other outside forces and if the plans and strategies made by Ultimate Despair continue succeeding it will be inevitable that the battles will no longer be between continents and the terrorist groups. But with countries fightning on their own and afterwards cities and finally individuals. Will this disaster ever end? Only time will tell.

Yuno: It matches everything Monokuma said, but that doesn't make sense since none of these could just happen in a few days. The world was normal until we woke up here.

Aigis: Is it possible we were all place in a cryogenetic sleep?

Yuno: Then where would that place be? If that's what happen we would find a pod or something where we could be frozen without dying.

Aigis: What about the article being a fake?

Yuno: The execution is proving otherwise it took place outside the mansion.

Aigis: What Monokuma said has to be true, there's no other options that could be chosen as an accepted answer.

Yuno: So we are really trap inside Monokuma's world, but that doesn't make sense!

Kogami: Maybe the answer is simplier then we thought. You can easily say that's impossible with how the situation is, but we don't even have a single idea what the answer is so the guess is still viable. Of course don't take it as a fact, but as a possibility.

Yuno: I'm already getting a huge headache from this. I need to go back for a bit and figure everything out as soon as I can. [Leave]

Aigis: Yuno is gone, what are we to do now?

Kogami: Ask the other girl here. Koneko Toujou could have something useful for us.

But will she answer for me considering how angry she is for the comment I made yesterday? With Aigis there is a chance, but a slim one.

[Talk to Koneko]

Koneko: Hey! Did you do something to me!?

That's the one thing you don't want a girl to say to you in front of another girl.

Aigis: Can you please explain the issue Koneko? If I can help then I will.

Except if it's Aigis who doesn't put her heart on her sleeve.

Koneko: Well... my key went missing! It was just in my pocket this morning, but for some reason I don't have them anymore.

Kogami: Guessing you're talking about room key, so why ask me about it?

Koneko: The last time I had them was at the hallway and you were the last person near before they disappeared. Is that why you tried to grab me this morning, to steal my room key!?

Kogami: You're jumping to conclusions Koneko I only approach you to apologize. Besides did you even see me with your keys?

Koneko: No, but... but out of everyone you are the one who had the best chance to steal them. If you we're quick enough you would have been able to get them without me noticing at the hallway.

Wouldn't the only person capable of that is an Ultimate Thief?

Kogami: Alright then Koneko, do you really think I'm good enough to do that? Even if I can do it, where is it? If you search me you won't find anything.

Koneko: You could have hid it somewhere so you could get in my room you sick bastard.

Aigis: That would be the ideal motive for someone to steal them. Murdering Ultimate Kickboxer Koneko Toujou while she's fast asleep.

Kogami: But I had no chance to hide them somewhere since I was with Aigis the whole time. And I wouldn't throw them away with the risk of someone else finding them. It's possible still that I'm the culprit, but you have nothing to prove it.

Koneko: I... I'll get Light to help me prove you! Don't think I'll let you look down on me like some weakling! You have no idea what you're capable of.

Why she really that hurt with what I said? I understand getting mad at me, but having a blow out like this is a bit too much.

Kogami: Very well, but that's not going to do anything since no proof exist I did it. I don't want to end out conversation in a sour note so I'll say this. I apologize for my comments yesterday and hopefully you can forgive me for what I said.

Aigis: I don't understand the entire thing, but I think he's sincere Koneko. Please give him another chance to redo his duties.

I didn't know having a good relationship with everyone is my duty, maybe I should ask her for more of them.

Koneko: Hmm... fine! Just don't look at me like I need protecting! I can handle myself even if I need a little help when things are too tough.

Aigis: That is why comradery is important. It shows that people need to trust and help each other to overcome big obstacles like the Killing Game.

Koneko: Whatever! Just let me handle my key situation okay!? Stupid me why do I... [Leave]

She's a mess with her emotions, but I guess that's a side effect with how things are lately.

...

*spark*

Huh!? Why am I getting hazey...

Aigis: Kogami are you alright? You look a bit-

Kogami: Aigis I think I'm done here for now. It's obvious that this room is a place full of self defense equipment and it was base on Ultimate Bodyguard Takeo Gouda. If you can do me a favor and write a report about the equipment it would appreciated. I just need to rest my head for now.

Aigis: Alright then... Kogami if you need help I'm here for you.

Thank you... I can live with... that...

[Move to 2nd Floor Hallway]

Light: Kogami can you hand me you're ElectroID?

Light just comes in and ask me for my ElectroID??? Why would he-

Kogami: Do you really need it? A piece of the puzzle in you're murder perhaps?

Light: Believe me everyone is giving their ElectroIDs. It's part of a procedure we're going to practice, and if a murder does happen I will be the one to be blame.

That's reassuring... at least Light won't get away if he tries to kill me.

Kogami: Alright then... just let me go back... to my room...

Light: I would suggest that actually, you don't look good at all. It wouldn't be good if one the most helpful people here get a fatal disease.

Kogami: Laughing in the inside my friend, now excuse me I got to lay down for a bit.

Light: Kogami... what's you're secret?

My secret? I don't even know what he's talking about.

Kogami: If it's a secret why would I tell you? Sorry, but if you want to know then figure it out yourself. I'll be leaving now.

[Move to Bedroom]

After a dash to the room I laid down. I lose my conscience very quickly and I admitted myself to a deep slumber. I don't know why the sudden sleepiness, but all I know is that my mind has completely shut down after something strange happen.

???: Are you sure he won't do something like that again?

???: I'm trying my best, but this isn't easy to maintain. Even with everything I did I never handled something so delicate and of need of constant care.

???: A first for everything, so try you're best to make sure we won't run to problems.

W...What are you they... they talking about?
