ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɪꜱ ʟᴏᴠᴇ? (Shin Tsukimi x Reader)

"Eehee... You will soon undergo a great trial in order to escape outside. As it has been prior, the superior will live, and the inferior will die. It is far from easy." Miley smiled maliciously, "One among you... will certainly die. The person to die, shall be decided by your own majority vote."

"...eh..?"

"I'm saying that you'll pick it yourselves! The one most unnecessary, hated, and acceptable to have die!"

Why is she treating this as some... fun game?

"Stop talkin' nonsense!" Q-Taro boomed, "Like we're gonna do somethin' like that!!"

Miley giggled, "Then by all means, starve to death here, all of you."

Everyone went silent.

Why?

Why are we here?

Why me?

Why Matsuri?

...Just.... Why??

"Ahahah, don't go so pale everyone! I've got something good to hand out!" Miley cheered as she began to hand out small tablets.

"Something good...?" Sara mumbled.

At this point, Matsuri and I were both leaning on the wall next to the door.

Miley handed us both a tablet while smiling as if nothing was wrong.

"Ehehe, does everyone have one now? Let us test the functionality with some actual use. When voting, if you know who voted for who, it turns into a whole quarrel, doesn't it?" She giggled, "Thus, by voting with these tablets, you won't know who made what vote. Ehehe... As a test, try voting for whoever!"

Something about this makes me feel... uneasy.

I guess I can just vote for myself...

"Oh my... It appears to be a bit one-sided." Mishima spoke up, "Hm... So this is a tablet for voting..."

"Ahaha... Is there something you want to say?"

"If you were human, I suppose there would be. Something like, "cease this, if you have a heart.""

"Eheehee... Unfortunately, I do not."

"A pity."

"More importantly, are you sure?"

"Hmm?"

"...Do you really want those as your last words?"

Mishima went pale.
"...What are you doing...?"

She just smiled at him.

"It won't explode, will it...?"

Miley gave a closed-eye smile, "No, it won't explode."
