Danganronpa 4-Despair Loop

7

¨Ehehem! Is everyone here? Alrighty!¨ Monokuma pops out onto a large chair outside the podiums.

¨First, lets begin with a basic introduction of the class trial! The result of the class trial will be determined by all of your votes! If you can pick out the blackened, I'll only punish them. But if you pick the wrong one... I'll punish everyone besides the blackened! If the blackened succeeds in deceiving everyone, the culprit gets to graduate!¨ Monokuma laughs, giving one of his signature smiles.

¨What do you mean, ¨punished¨?¨ Yuma askes, genuinely confused.

¨Another word for these punishments.... Would be execution!¨

¨E-execution?!¨ Yuma steps back.

¨Death? That's it? Pathetic. You're pathetic.¨ Koko says, looking dead.

¨Puhuhu~! Not just any death! Executions! The wildest executions you'll ever see!¨ Monokuma shifts his gaze to Koko, annoyed she isn't responding properly.

¨I'll be the judge of that, you sad, sad little bear...¨ Koko shakes her head.

Kayden shivers. ¨Just the thought of that scares me... Nobody should be executed...¨

¨You're a disappointment to this race. Please do me a favor...? You see that water over there? Stay under it for an hour.¨ Yuki lets out a small laugh as Koko finishes that.

Nao sniffles, putting her face in her hands. ¨T-this is scary...¨ Yuma reaches over and puts a hand on her shoulder. ¨We will find who killed Kokojo.¨

¨T-thanks¨ She looks up and smiles. Yuki continues to laugh as Koko makes more threats.

¨Why are you laughing? You think this is funny? You're my prime suspect!¨ Yuma points to her. Yuki looks up and flashes a smile, but it is off. It looks... creepy.

¨I like you Yuki. You get me.¨ Koko smiles a bit. Yuki nods in agreement.

¨I'm fairly certain you get me too.¨ Yuki smirks, then Yuma interjects.

¨W-well, don't get too comfy, Yuki's not gonna be here for much longer!¨ Miana turns on her heels.

¨What makes you say that? You barely even know her!¨

¨She's the only one who could do it, with those axes in her boots!¨ Yuma gestures to her boots.

¨Actually, hatchets.¨ Yuki looks directly at Yuma, while Miana protests.

¨Δεν βοηθάτε την υπόθεσή σας!¨ Miana and Yuki were close, but not next to each other on their podiums, so they had to yell over Sayuri and Ayane.

¨Ok, can we agree that during trials we speak nothing but English?¨ Yuma states, looking at Miana and Yuki.

¨Fine! Unless I really need to say something to Yuki!¨ Miana arguess back.

¨It does seem kinda suspicious... are accomplices allowed?¨ Kayden asks Monokuma.

¨Yep! But only the blackened graduates!¨ Monokuma says .

¨Well, what should we talk about first then...?¨ Ayane looks confused.

¨I wanna talk about the weapons for a sec. How big were the stab wounds?¨ Naoto asks.

¨Good question... Does anyone know? I don't...¨ Ayane looks around, her eyes resting on Sayuri.

¨W-well I would have known if you let me do an autopsy report!¨ She exclaims.

¨Nobody was stopping you... well I guess Yuki was trying to lead us away from the crime scene...¨ Kayden glares at Yuki, who glares in return.

¨You're the one who said there was no need for Sayuri to do an autopsy.¨ Koko says.

¨Also, I had it covered. The stab wounds are fairly small, so it was most likely done with a kitchen knife.¨ Yuki pulls out her hatchets. ¨These don't cut that small. If you don't believe me, I can show you.¨ Yuki does another one of her creepier smiles and returns them to her boots.

"Hey! I was standing in front of Yuma's gun! She was pointing it at Yuki! I'm not trying to push it on her!" Kayden argues.

"Kinda wish she shot me then..." Yuki mumbles under her breath.
"Yuki was the only one trying to dissuade her from doing the autopsy! She literally said there was no need!" Kayden says, casting a glance in her direction.

"That's not relevant right now!" Naoto says.

"I said I had it covered, and I did! It's not that hard to understand, isn't it? Or are you so much more stupid than I thought you were?" Yuki gives another off smile, and Koko snickers.

"Well, Yuki, I trust you to give me a good answer on this. Why did you actually say no to Sayuri?" Koko looks at her.

"The cause of death was obvious. There's no doubt she was tortured right before she was killed." Yuki looks back at her.

"Fair enough. Sayuri, what do you think?" Koko asks.

"T-that sounds p-plausible!" Sayuri stutters out.

"Hey! Then that clears Kayden of suspicion!" Yuma says, excited.

"Yeah! I was making pancakes!" Kayden interjects.

"No it fuckin doesnt! You two are just as suspicious as each other! And that was a sad excuse! I saw Koko and Sayuri in the greenhouse. I was lookin for berries to add to a cocktail!" Izumi says, pointing at Yuma and Kayden.

"W-well, fine. We can stop talking about the autopsy... What about alibis? After we all met at the dorms, Naoto and I went to the warehouse, and Kokojo went to her dorm." Chinatsu nervously says.

"I-wait. Izumi, you drink at this age?" Kayden looks over, shocked, Yuma making the same face.

"That's kinda saddening..."

"You dumbasses, I'm the Ultimate Bartender!" Izumi sticks up the finger at Kayden.

"Why would we want to drink what you make? I don't drink alcohol, and I'm sure nobody else here does." Kayden says.

"U-uhmm..." Sayuri looks down at her feet.

"...That's right. Sayuri drinks as long as it's fruity." Koko says.

"Did not want to know that," Kayden looks to the side awkwardly.

"But otherwise you'd end up accusing Izumi." Koko glares at him with her piercing eyes.

"Did anyone find any ropes around her body?" Naoto asks.

"Other than the ropes tying her up?" Yuki turns to him, looking at him like he's an idiot.

"So she WAS tied up in the warehouse!" Naoto says.

"No! That's wrong! She was tied up in the gym, not the warehouse!" Kayden slams his hand against the podium.

"That is correct." Koko says.

"You of all people should know, since you and that girl attached to your back were there all night." Yuma points out.

"So... the murder did happen at night, or else Naoto and Chinatsu wouldve seen!" Ayane smiles like nothing is wrong, as she always does.

"We did go back to our dorms at night. The killer could have grabbed the ropes at night and we wouldn't have seen them." Naoto nods.
