Back in Time (A Danganronpa Story)

A New Floor

Me and my team stood in front of the stair that led to the second floor. Even when I knew what was on the second floor already... I was a little nervous.

I snapped out of my thoughts as my group had already started climbing up the stairs. I quickly caught up to them.

Once we made it to the second floor, I glanced over to the pool..

Chihiro.. Mondo...

I mentally slap myself. I can't be thinking about that right now. I need to avoid suspicion and explore..

My group went to the pool area first, though instead of the pool, we see the changing rooms. It was still the same.. the girls' changing room on the left, and the boys' on the right. Oh, and I can't forget the giant mini-gun hanging from the ceiling.

Hifumi: "Is.. that a mini-gun..?" Hifumi asked nervously as he fumbled nervously with his bookbag straps.

Monokuma: "Yep! To keep all of you little perverts from going in the opposite changing room!" Monokuma announced suddenly from behind us.

We all jump from Monokuma's sudden appearance, as well as a squeal from Hifumi.

Yasuhiro: "W-wow! M-Monokuma!"

Leon: "What the hell are you doing here, Monokuma!?"

Monokuma: "I'm here to explain to you the rules of the changing rooms, geez! Talk about hostility..." Monokuma let out a huff as he crossed his arms.

I let out a sigh as I placed a hand on Leon's shoulder.

Makoto: "Leon, we should probably listen.. we don't want to ignore any rules."

Leon looked down to me for a moment before letting out a heavy sigh, turning back to Monokuma.

Leon: "Alright. What's this rule about?"

Monokuma: "Wellllll! Since you teens are pretty mature and getting pretty freaky... I've decided that if a guy tried to get into the girls' changing room, he'd get shot by a bunch of bullets! Pew! Pew pew! It's the same with the girls."

Monokuma explained the rules of the changing rooms. I let out a sigh as I looked to the guy's changing room. Those memories of investigating the crime scene of Chihiro.. figuring out Mondo killed him.. I hate these memories..

Yasuhiro: "T-thats.. a little much, don't you think..?" Hiro asked as he scratched his chin nervously.

Monokuma: "IT'S NOT TOO MUCH! I know what you pant wetting perverts think about! LIKE YOU!" Monokuma yelled as he pointed to Hifumi.

Hifumi: "W-W-W-W-WAAAAAAH!? I-I'M NOT A PERVERT!" Hifumi said in retaliation as he started to sweat nervously yet with a certain determination to defend himself.

There was a slight back and forth between the two. Me, Hiro, and Leon just stood there and watched as Monokuma and Hifumi made a scene.. I sigh and muster up any kind of confidence I had..

Makoto: "Uhm.. how about we go check out the pool..?" I suggested with a slightly nervous smile, gaining the attention of the others.

Leon: "I think that'd be a good idea..." Leon said in response as he nudged Hiro. Hiro looked down to Leon with confusion. Leon gestured to the still bickering Hifumi with Monokuma, as if asking to get him. Hiro sighed as he walked over to Hifumi, grabbing onto his bookbag and dragging him (barley) along with the others as they entered the boys' changing room.
