[REQUESTED]["Two lovers met
Two strangers left"]"I'll go"
They turned to Chishiya, who was standing calmly with a stoic expression.
There was one last game, and everyone was either too injured or weak to continue. Chishiya was the only one that was able to go, so he volunteered.
Climbing up the building stairs, he got to the roof. He swung the door open to see a white open garden house and white rose bushes surrounding the area. He saw some colored balls and some other targets, and came to a conclusion.
"Croquet?"
"You are correct! Now- Chishiya?" The bubbly voice had switched to one of shock, and Chishiya looked up too, seeming unfazed.
"Y/N? I did think you would be one of the face card games"
Y/N stood before him in a long black dress with white accents, holding her mallet.
"How did you-"
"10 of Hearts. During the game I couldn't see you anywhere, I couldn't even detect you on the CCTV. You must've hidden during the entire game, no? Just like Mira"
Y/N suspected he would know. He was Chishiya Shuntaro after all.
"You shouldn't be here. You have five minutes to leave before the game starts."
"Why? You think i'm going to lose?" Chishiya asked in a deadly calm tone.
"It's either you die or I die, I wish for neither."
"Someone has to win to get out of here, Y/N. Clearly you should have thought of that before choosing to be a face card, right? One.. and two. One of us dies, and it's our choice." He pointed out.
'The game has begun'
Y/N didn't want to play the game with Chishiya. It wasn't because she didn't want him to die- he'd easily be the one to survive, but that was the thing.
Either one of them was going to die, and Y/N knew it would be herself.
"All you have to do is play three rounds of croquet with me" She returned to her cheery nature, grinning at him in an unsettling way.
Chishiya grabbed a mallet without a word, beginning since Y/N had given him a chance of going first. The male had never held a mallet before, yet he managed to hit all holes and goals in the first round.
"My turn~!" Y/N sang to hide her nervousness, winning the first round along with him. They both won the second round, and the time Y/N feared had come.
She stifled a fake yawn, leaning on her mallet. "Ah, I'm tired. Why don't we sit first? Have a cup of tea?" She gestured to the table in the open garden house. Chishiya's eyes drifted to the table with an incredulous look on his face, but he went towards it without a word.
She sat as well, pouring him a cup of tea.
"Cut to the chase, L/N. If I play this game, do we get to leave? How were we even brought here?"
She sipped her tea peeking at him to see he was staring, not even touching his tea.
"This is all a simulation"
"What?"
"You are merely nothing but robots. We're testing the IQ and EQ of the robots we made, and you are one of them. You just don't realize, because we inserted a microchip into your brain that tells you that you are human, and it programs you by default. You won't know you're a robot, you'll think you're perfectly human."
