Confusion and Fatigue

"E-Ended the world?!" You squeaked, your eyes wide in surprise and disbelief.

"... That's not an overstatement or a metaphor, you know. Those guys really did end the world," Monokuma said, "So don't you think it's appropriate to call them World Ender?"

"You mean... they're a terrorist organization...?" Peko asked.

"Terrorist, huh... That might be accurate. But only losers are terrorists. If they manage to win, they become 'heroes'. In that sense... they're more like heroes. They're the heroes who ended the world!"

"S-So what? Don't say things that don't make sense!" Mahiru said nervously, "Don't tell me you're gonna say this organization is the one putting us through all this crap...?"

"World Ender... Are you saying that you and Monomi... are also members of that organization?" Nekomaru asked.

"Who knows? The only thing I can tell you is..." Monokuma said, "The organization that the traitor is working for, the ones who brought you to this island... World Ender is behind it all!"

"Wh-Why are we being targeted by a h-horrifying organization like that!?" Kazuichi exclaimed.

"Don't panic... It's just another made-up story to trick us, like when he said we lost our school memories," Peko said, "I can't suspend my disbelief for something as ridiculous as 'World Ender'... There's no way that organization... or the traitor exists!"

"Monokuma... I shall listen to you as you spout nonsense all you want while I puff cigar smoke at your lifeless body," Gundham said with a smirk.

"My, my... I was kind enough to keep you guys informed. Are you calling me a liar!?" Monokuma said with sadness that was probably fake, "Gnnnngh... if you keep acting like that, I'll do 'this' and 'that' to your various body parts...! Anyway, I'm telling the truth! The World Ender organization is the final boss of this island! Plus, one of their members is hiding among you guys! That's why... you guys gotta find that traitor and kill them dead!"

"H-Hey! You better stop..." Monomi said.

"Shut up, Monomi! Big brother-defying trash like you needs to be punished!"

Monokuma pulled Monomi's ears in a very rough manner and walked off. Monomi squirmed around, trying to get him off of her.

"Noooo! Don't pull my ears! They're gonna come... come off!" She exclaimed, her voice gradually fading.

Everyone was quiet, trying to process what had just happened.

"Wh-What was that... just now...?" Hajime uttered, breaking the silence .

"Is there... anybody who understood what he was talking about...?" Kazuichi asked.

"Not a clue..." Sonia replied, fiddling with her fingers.

"For now... since the sun is setting, we should just go home for the day," Chiaki said with a yawn, "I think... it's a waste of time for us to keep thinking about this."

"Yeah, you're right..." You said, feeling a wave of fatigue washing over you.

"... Let's just call it a day," Mahiru said.

With that, you all left the new island and went back to your respective cottages, still wondering what Monokuma was talking about.
