Countdown; Large Organization

══════ •『 ♡ 』• ══════

With a few complaints, everyone followed Byakuya to Jabberwock Park. When you got there, the first thing you noticed was... that the statue that once housed the Monobeasts was replaced with... a timer...? It was shaped like... a bomb... A bomb?! Your eyes widened as you shakily pointed up at it.

"Is that a b-bomb?!" You exclaimed.

"A b-b-b-b-bommmmmmmb!? Kazuichi screamed, his eyes now on the explosive.

"If they wanted to blow up the island, they would have done so by now. There's no need for a countdown..." Byakuya said.

"Then... what are they counting down?" Mikan asked nervously.

"It's a mystery..." Akane replied.

"... A mysterious mystery, isn't it!?" Said a familiar high pitched voice.

You gasped and looked over to see... Monomi?!

"E-Eh?! Monomi?! B-But...! I thought...! Didn't Monokuma...?!" You stuttered, unable to find the right words.

"Ah, so that's why you were surprised? Pfft, hehehe! You don't have to worry about that! After all, I can never die!"

"I see... You must be an undead abomination, risen from the foulest depths of the Netherworld by black magic..." Gundham said, "Gasp! Do you want me to make you my thrall!?"

"Monomi's a mechanical stuffed animal, right? Doesn't that mean she can't die in the first place?" Chiaki asked.

"Now that you mention it... she'd only need, like, a spare or something," Kazuichi added.

"'A spare'... What a mean thing to say!" Monomi said.

"However, you have arrived at the perfect time. There's something I wanted to ask you," Byakuya said, "What is the meaning behind this timer and this countdown? Answer me..."

"Huh? Countdown...?" Monomi looked up at the timer, "Ha-wa-wa! What is this!? U-Um... I'm sorry... I... don't know what this is..."

"You really don't know...?" Peko asked.

"I-I'm sorry... I don't really have a grasp of what Monokuma is up to..."

"You don't know, even though you're Monokuma's little sister," Hiyoko pondered.

"I'm not my brother's little sister! A-Anyway... let's all do our best! Let's kick the evil Monokuma off this island!"

"If you don't know what the countdown is for, you're useless to us. Get lost," Byakuya said coldly.

"Um... Let's... together..."

"I said get lost...!"

"Kyaaa! I-I'm sorry!"

With that, Monomi scurried away, her ears droopy.

"Um... Do you ever think you're being a bit too harsh...? I feel kinda bad for her..." You uttered.

"Y/N-chan! May I call you
Y/N-chan!? No, I insist on calling you that! There's no need to feel sorry for that thing. She's obviously working with Monokuma," Kazuichi said.

"Who the fuck cares about that stuffed animal...? More importantly, what the hell is that clock?" Fuyuhiki said.

"Looks ominous, doesn't it...?" Byakuya replied, "Who put that object here, and how did they do it in just one night?"
