Monorakun's 7am alert woke me up, with the exact same message as last time. I stretched in my bed before getting up. As usual, I got dressed and prepared myself for the day. I checked the Chat, and Mahiru's conversation caught my interest.

* Shishano Kantoku entered the chat.
Mahiru Koizumi: Hey everybody! After breakfast, I'd like to get a few group pictures of everyone in the Dining Hall!
Kyoko Kirigiri: What for?
Mahiru Koizumi: Well, we're all students here, and as the Ultimate Photographer, I'd like to get pictures of everyone, to look back upon later on!
Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu: Are you fucking stupid? We're not sitting in some classroom, waiting for the fucking teacher to teach us economics. We're in a killing game, fighting for our lives against a stupid robot, under these stupid rules!
Sakura Ogami: Be that as it may, Fuyuhiko, there is no need for such hostility. I, for one, would be most welcome to having my picture taken.
Nekomaru Nidai: ME AS WELL! LET'S DO THIS AFTER WE ALL EAT!
Mahiru Koizumi: Ummm...Nekomaru, could you turn your Caps Lock off? That's considered screaming in chat.
Nekomaru Nidai: Ah, sorry. Is this better?
Mahiru Koizumi: Much better. Now, if you don't want your picture taken, of course you don't have to. But if you do, please stay in the Dining Hall after breakfast for pictures!
Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu: After the picture you took of my sister, I'll be DAMNED if I let you take a picture of me! Screw you, bitch!
* Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu left the chat.
Sakura Ogami: Sigh...That Fuyuhiko...I'm not really sure what to make of him. I fear his anger will consume him, and cause him to do something foolish.
Mahiru Koizumi: Do you think Hiyoko and I should be concerned?
Sakura Ogami: At this time, no. I shall do my best to keep him monitored, and prevent him from doing anything reckless.
Mahiru Koizumi: Thank you, Sakura. I'm gonna log out of here and get the preparations ready.
* Mahiru Koizumi left the chat.

Having nothing else to say to the others, I left the chat as well, and headed to the Dining Hall for breakfast. Teruteru made wildberry pancakes for everyone, with strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries baked into the pancakes. They were then topped with wildberry syrup, also made from strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries, and set out for us to use as we wished. I took three pancakes, and drizzled a decent amount of syrup on them, then sat next to Mahiru, Hiyoko, and Toko as we all ate.

Hiyoko and Toko spent most of the time throwing insults at one another, while Mahiru and I ate in relative silence. Mahiru seemed annoyed with Hiyoko, and would scold her when she'd push Toko too far.

After I ate and put my dishes away, I headed to the School Store. Checking my E-Handbook, I had 175 Monocoins. I bought some Athletic Wraps, figuring either Sakura could use them, or I could store them in the medicine cabinet in my room. I also bought some Rose Perfume in a cute bottle, dropping me down to 50 Monocoins.

I returned to Mahiru in the Dining Hall, waiting with her for the others to show up. As it turned out, everyone except Fuyuhiko showed up.

Including...Monorakun, who insisted on being in at least one photo.

"Wait, wait! I have to prepare for this picture!" Monorakun shouted, his voice resembling an angry guard dog who smokes a pack of cigars a day, as he bolted for the kitchen. Some shuffling was heard within the kitchen, then Monorakun emerged with a rolling pin and a bottle of ketchup.

"Hang on, I gotta get ready! Everyone, turn around!"

We all turned around to let Monorakun prepare himself for the picture. After a minute or two, Monorakun said, "Alright, I'm ready for my close-up!"
