『 ♧ Escape Artist ♧ 』『 RANMARU KAGEYAMA × DANGANRONPA V3 』

PROLOGUE 0-4: Ultimate Introductions Pt 2

3RD PERSON POV

After escaping the awkward situation that was the dining room, he strolled around and checked into classrooms. Eventually, he reached the vast stacked area that was the storage facility. He didn't get much time to gawk, however, as he found a girl cursing in frustration as she searched and tossed boxes around the room. She almost threw one directly at Ranmaru, but he luckily dodged in time while letting out a yelp, catching her attention.

"The fuck you doing here just staring at me while I struggle dipshit??" She shouted. Ranmaru approached her warily and then replied.

"I'm.. I'm just looking for the other students here, and I heard your yelling, so I came to make sure nobody is dying here." Ranmaru explained to the angry girl. She nodded a little, then groaned in frustration.

"Your damn right, I'm dying!! There's nothing here that I need, and I feel like I'm running out of life!? Although, a perv like you would probably like that, huh!? Getting to do what you want, eh???" She provoked. Ranmaru looked at her confused for a second before realising what she was insinuating and jolted back a bit.

"Why would I do something so perverted!? I- I- I don't even know y- you..!" He argued, slowly deteriorating into a stuttering buffoon. She looked at him with a confused look and raised her eyebrow.

"A person who doesnt know me?? That's a first." She sighed before suddenly striking a confident pose and protruding a confident energy, which slightly scared Ranmaru.

"Since you don't know me, I'll illuminate!!" She yelled. "I'm the gorgeous girl whose looks and golden brain will go down in the books!! I am the one and only, the Legendary ultimate invented herself, Miu Iruma!!!"

"Oh... well then, I- I'm Ranmaru Kageyama, Ultimate Escape Artist.. Nice to meet you..!" He spoke, trying not to aggrevate her.

"So what, your some fucking convict who can get outta jail?"

"N- No..!! Im just skilled in puzzles, traps and escape rooms!" Ranmaru Retorted in surprise being called a criminal.

"Then name one of your favourite traps, or are you some bullshit liar??" Miu mocked, stepping up to him and prodding his chest. Ranmaru felt his entire body heat up and he jumped back a bit while sweating profusely.

"P- please don't prod my chest.." He spoke while fiddling with his bandages. "One time, some crazy college professor offered me 3000 Yen to test out some contraptions he had made. It wasn't that hard, but the mood was what made it intense. ."

Miu stared intensely before her eyes began sparkling. "Holy shit!! That totally sounds like some kinky contraption, huh?? I bet that could get anyone to go all Loosey-Goosey! I wouldn't make one, though, since I focus on making inventions to make you productive in your sleep!"

"Oh... well, I hope you find what you were looking for! I'm going to look for more people, ok?" Ranmaru told her as he turned to leave.

"Hm? Oh yeah, fine, see ya Tackyama" She said while shooing him away.

'Tacky...yama..? Wow, how creative...'

"Now.. where are those mother fucking drugs!?"

'Wait... WHAT!?'

Ranmaru had quickly left the storage facility and was no strolling through the hallways once again. He was trying to understand his situation, considering he and so many other huge personalities were here with him. As he walked, he caught another student. This time, she was staring at a statue with a finger resting on her chin.
