The Mastermind's Lies | Mastermind Shuichi AU | EXTENDED

Chapter 32 - This is our answer.

KOKICHI POV

"You shouldn't have left the outcome up to be Monokuma."

"If Kaito hadn't come out of the Exisal-"

"Yeah yeah! I get it! But he did come out didn't he? So it's fine!"

"Still..."

"It's still very confusing though. I mean, why would Kokichi commit suicide just like that?"

"It's a sin to throw your life away. Even if it's just fiction."

"I think... That was the point."

"Well, the trial certainly was entertaining!"

I felt a chill down my spine when he said that.

We all knew Monokuma was just a heartless AI, but...

Just hearing any voice saying that my trial was entertaining is... Messed up.

"Monokuma I..."

"Do you mind... Giving me a minute?"

"I need to think..."

"..."

"Eh, sure whatever. I don't care."

And just like that, Monokuma dissappeared off screen.

Shuichi sat down, his back turned away from the press. He brought his legs up to his chest and buried his head in them.

And then something I never could have predicted happened.

"Why Kokichi? Why did you do it?"

"What more did you want from me?"

"GAHHH! You were always so frustrating!"

"And confusing! And...!"

"Okay, look. I know I was a jerk a few times in the past, okay?"

"But, you are being an even bigger jerk now!"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Is that what you want?!"

"Ghk-! I thought you were gone! But nooo..."

"No, no, no! Now you're just- ugh-"

"And you're weird things in my room!"

"I just don't get it. I thought you didn't even want to BE around me!"

"Y'know Kokichi. I have-"

"-SO much to do before the last trial! And it would be a lot more helpful if you were REALLY here instead of just-"

"-haunting me like some kind of WEIRD. INVISIBLE. CREEP!"
