Love Live: MURDER Game Vol. 01

Game 01A - MURDER Begins

DIA'S POV

For about 3 hours, we were all taught the basics in the Tutorial Rooms. Each of us were taught how to shoot properly with a pistol, and how to use the knife properly.

In an open, white room, the rest of Aqours are there to begin the tutorial. We are at a shooting range. Inside, there are target dummies made of wood.

Guard 01: Please shoot the target dummy.

Ruby: No....I do not want this!!! Please don't make me do it!! I do not want to use a gun!!

Guard 01: You must do it. Rules are rules.

Ruby: But.....

Another guard arrived. She carried a tablet which had access to the Internet. She showed us the video of another idol group via her tablet. The idols are currently doing a live performance.

Guard 02: Please do as you are told. If you don't, our hosts will kill these people right away....

Ruby: No!!! Don't do it!!!!

Guard 02: Then do as you are told.....please....

Ruby is finally convinced to take a pistol and aim at the target. Her hands shook as she held it - the first guard assisted her in using the pistol properly.

Hanamaru: Those guards bother me. They seem too kind. It looks like they have no intention to hurt us just so we would listen to them.

Yoshiko: Oh, so you noticed? I am glad I am not the only one who is thinking of conspiracies.....

Meanwhile, in another white room, U's are taught how to use knives and how the game works out....

Honoka: I never thought A-Rise could make us do such horrible things!! I wish I do not have to hate them for whatever happens...

Nico: Stop making wishful assumptions, Honoka. What they are doing is irrational and unforgivable. Eventually, we will need to hate them....honestly, I do not want to feel that way about them.

Nozomi: This is really bad.....so everything is decided on the card you pick?

Guard 03: Yes. There are three roles that each player will get randomly assigned to: Murderer, Innocent, and Detective. Everything is decided on what card you end up picking in each round.

After completing the tutorials, we are sent to our first Murder Arena - a large, basic location which had black walls and resembled an apartment building. There are about 8 rooms in this area.

All of us are sent at the center of this arena. Once we there, A-Rise contacted us through a speaker.

Tsubasa: Is everybody ready?!!

Everyone: ..........

Kanan: I will just say that all of us are forced to be ready....

Tsubasa: Good!!

Yuuki: Anyway, I know you all have been taught the rules in your respective Tutorial Rooms!! Let me just repeat the rules:

In this game, every player has a knife and a pistol. There are three roles: Murderer, Innocent, and Detective. Your role depends on what card you pick. The cards you will use will be the classic solitaire cards.

If you get a red card, regardless of what symbol it is, you are a Murderer. The Murderer must kill everyone to win - you can use any tactic: lies, deceit, stealth, whatever you want. Also, the Murderer is the only one allowed to use her knife. She can, however, get a gun to use should she ever find six orange ribbons.
