A farewell to the protagonist of DRV3

Special Secret Events 2

4. (with a slight alteration) Y/N POV: I walked outside to the courtyard however I jumped back when I saw Shuichi and Himiko talking, however, some part of me felt uncomfortable so to calm down my nerves...I decided to listen in. "Himiko, good morning." Shuichi greeted the girl. "Nyeeeh..." Himiko muttered in response. "What a pain... Why do we have to go to the gym so early in the morning...?" Himiko questioned. "I don't know...but I don't think it's anything good." Shuichi said. "We have an important student council meeting today, but this is gonna use up all my energy..." Himiko said. An...important meeting? "Now now, it's okay. You won't use up too much energy just walking to the gym." Tsumugi reassured Himiko. "Nyeh..." Himiko mumbled. "Hey, about this 'meeting'... Are you planning something?" Shuichi asked the girls. "Oh, yeah, sort of... Angie said we should have a party. We were planning to play in the pool with everyone after this." Tsumugi responded. "I see..." Shuichi muttered. "Atua said he wanted to play in the pool." Tsumugi said. What an...odd request for a god to make. "Oh no! Now's no time to be standing here talking! If we don't hurry to the gym, our faces might get peeled off like mandarin oranges!" Tsumugi yelled. "I don't like mandarin oranges. Peeling off all the white stuff is a pain..." Himiko said before Tsumugi dragged her to the academy. So...the pool. That's where the girls are going. I better not disturb them then- 

I almost jumped in surprise when I saw the balding Monokuma pop out of nowhere next to where Shuichi was standing. "Aaugh!" Shuichi yelled in surprise. Whoever the Monokuma didn't even bother talking. "Wh-What? Do you want something from me?" Shuichi asked it. However, the Monokuma just continued to stare at Shuichi, as if it was trying to tell him something. "Well? What is it? If you have something to say, say it!" Monokuma yelled at it. However, Shuichi stood still for a few seconds, looking shocked by something...what was he thinking of doing? Surely Shuichi would never decide to do something so scummy, right? "I understand, now, Monokuma. You're telling me...that it's time." Shuichi muttered to it. When the balding Monokuma left, I knew that I should probably avoid Shuichi for today. He...better not try to do what I think he's trying to do...otherwise I don't think I will be able to react kindly. 

After preparing myself to rationalize the situation...is when I slowly walked to the pool area, if I don't see Shuichi, then that should be my cue to leave. Some part of me wanted to believe that Shuichi would never try to peep on people...however, a dreaded feeling continued to get stronger and stronger as I approached the pool. Slowly walking inside, I made my way toward the changing rooms, as silent as a mouse I tried to look for any sign of Shuichi, and then...

"...Ohhh, I understand now! Don't worry! They're nicely shaped! Beauty is way better than size anyway!!!" I heard Tenko exclaim and that's when...I saw Shuichi. 

He was looking directly into the changing rooms and that's probably when all of my rationality was thrown away. I stomped over to where Shuichi was standing and grabbed him by the back of his uniform collar and dragged him outside the pool area, however in doing so I accidentally caught a glance of what Shuichi was looking at, making my face grow into an almost feverish pink.  "A-Ah! Y/N!? It's not what it looks-" "Q-Quiet!!!" I yelled at Shuichi angrily, throwing him on the grass outside. "J-J-Just what do you think you were doing!? P-Peeping on girls like that!? How would you like it if I did the same to you? You wouldn't like it, would you!?" I scolded him. Shuichi could only go on his knees and beg that I don't tell Tenko or even Gonta about what he was doing. "Wh-When I first met you...I didn't know th-that you were s-s-such a scummy pervert!!! Y-You should be ashamed of yourself!" I poked Shuichi's forehead harshly as I scolded him for his degenerate behavior. "I-I'm sorry! I didn't know that you would be there-!" "Th-That's not the issue! A-Apologise! A-A-Apologise for your actions or else I'll punch you!" I continued to yell at Shuichi and even as he profusely apologized and swore on his life five times that he would never do such a thing again I thought about exactly the gravity of what he had did...and ended up punching him, knocking him out cold, that was probably going to hurt in a few hours. "A-Ah...geez." I muttered, my face still rather pink, it really doesn't take much to be a good human.

5. I lay head down on the couch in my Ultimate Lab, still heavily exhausted about the past trial...and exactly all it took out of me. I wiped the dried tears that collected on my face and sat myself upright...when I heard a knock on my Ultimate lab. Who...was that? "Y/N? It's Shuichi." I heard Shuichi call out gently. "...C-Come in." I muttered. I watched as Shuichi walk inside my Ultimate lab and walk up to me. "A-Ah...how are you doing?" Shuichi asked me. "I...could be better, I'm just...not feeling like doing anything right now, so...please go away-" "Would you like to accompany Himiko and I to do some sort of exercise?" Shuichi asked me. "Wh-What? Shuichi- no, I...don't want to do anything anymore I just wanna stay here, and..." I trailed off, not having enough energy to speak. "I'm...sure that sitting here won't do you any good, so how about hanging out with Himiko and I? What do you gotta loose?" Shuichi asked me. "...Were you paying attention t-to anything that happened in the trial? I'm...an a-accomplice, Himiko has every reason to hate me." I sulked sadly. "How about this, if you do some exercises with Himiko and I, and you don't like it...then I won't pester you anymore." Shuichi told me. I thought about the pros and cons for a few seconds before answering. "Um...sure, I guess." I muttered. "Well then, if you're feeling up to it, please meet us in the dojo." Shuichi told me, I watched as he waved goodbye to me as he left my Ultimate lab. Why did I even say yes? After a bit, I ended up finding myself walking to the dojo, upon entering I felt myself choke up completely when I saw Himiko look my way. 

"U-Uh...is this a bad time?" I muttered. "Y/N! I'm glad you showed up." Shuichi admitted as he walked up to me and pushed me further inside the dojo, once I got a better look I saw that Gonta was here too. "Is...he here?" Himiko muttered as she pulled down her hat over her eyes, I felt my soul drift out of my body. "S-Sorry...I knew it wasn't a good idea to come, I-I'll leave-!" "D-Don't just run away!" Himiko yelled at me. "...I-I don't understand, don't you w-want me to leave?" I questioned. "I am...incredibly angry with you, don't get that twisted! But...if anyone needs some exercise, it's you! Shuichi told me about how you were moping around and being all sad, so...I decided to take it upon myself to invite you to do some mage training with Gonta, Shuichi, and I!" Himiko said. "B-But...wasn't Shuichi the one who invited me?" I muttered. "Sorry...I thought that if I told you Himiko was the one who invited you, you would still feel too guilty to come, so I lied." Shuichi apologized to me. "I...don't get it though, I'm one of the strongest people here, what good will any exercise do?" I questioned. "I've decided to live life facing forward for Tenko and Angie's sakes, so...as much as I hate to say it, you gotta live forward for Kiyo's sake as well." Himiko told me. "K-Kiyo?" Even saying that name...I can't help but get so upset. "So...please stay for a little while." Himiko sweat dropped, she already looked tired from yelling at me. "U-Um...okay, I guess I will." I said. "We haven't even started and I'm already tired..." Himiko muttered. After we all changed into our keikogi, we began to train under Himiko. 

Next up, we're gonna do 100 cool magic show poses! Follow along after me! Don't forget to smile for the audience!" Himiko cheered. "Yes!" Gonta yelled. "O-Okay..." Shuichi muttered. "One! Two! Three!" Himiko yelled. "One! Two! Three!" Gonta exclaimed. We all practiced waving our wands and straddling broomsticks 100 times... It was all quite...difficult to comment on. "What's the matter, Y/N!? You're slacking on your poses!" Himiko scolded me. "It important to smile, too! Smile like Gonta! Smile like gentleman!" Gonta exclaimed. "Y-Yeah, okay." I muttered a lot less enthusiastically. "One more time, from the top! One! Two! Three!" Himiko yelled. Himiko was acting a lot more lively than I think any of us had ever seen her. All the anger and sadness... She's trying to deal with all of it in her own way. 

Hey, Tenko... Can you see Himiko from wherever you are? Kiyo, can you...see me too?
