Danganronpa: New Generation of Death

chapter 21

"Why these two?!!" Aeri said, pissed off. The ones who were dead were apparently both Yami and Yumi Yamamoto.

"Their clothes show they weren't struggling at all, and they seemed to die by poison," Riku said now sighing.

""Oh yeah. Where's Asudo?" Mishiga asked, and everyone stared at each other, before facepalming.

Meanwhile

"Uh.....guys...." Asudo was surprisingly still awake, but his face was so red, it was nearly a perfect match like a tomato, except that it had eyes, ears, hair and mouth.

Suddenly, Monokuma came in and Asudo just gave a glare at the mechanical bear.

"Oh don't worry. I'm here to just let you go, so you can help them investigate who killed those Yamamoto siblings," Monokuma said as it held onto a knife.

"By killing me?" Asudo asked. "Who? Little ol' me? Nah," Monokuma replied, throwing the knife towards the rope.

It had cut the rope and Asudo fell to the floor with a thud. And it wasn't a nice one.

"Ah crap! I think my arm broke!" Asudo yelled out, groaning, as he held onto his left arm.

"Well, I didn't say I won't hurt you," Monokuma said, giving out its signature laugh before opening the door.

That was the same time it was suddenly punted by Tamaki, by sheer accident.

"Dude! We're so sorry for leaving you!!" Reed said, literally scared out of his wits.

"I'll bring him to the infirmary. You guys investigate," Mishiga said, and that was when Monokuma got out of the hole in the wall, surprisingly quite calm.

"Well then. Off you go then," it said and everyone went to investigate. All but Mishiga, Cyber and a fainted Asudo.

"Seriously, Mishiga? When are you gonna put the plan into action?" Monokuma asked.

"When the time is right Monokuma," Mishiga replied with a sigh.

"Cyber, what're you doing still standing there?" Mishiga asked Cyber, who standing still.

"Oh. I am sorry," she said, bowing quickly before running, though it seemed more like jogging with stiff legs.

"Seriously? The time is right already. You're wasting your time, Mishiga Shire. Ultimate-" Mishiga cut it off.

"Can you just shut up, please?" He asked, before going straight to the infirmary with Asudo's arm around his shoulder.

Monokuma just stared at the door where Mishiga went, before giving out its malicious laugh.

Meanwhile

"Crap. It's pretty hard to know who killed them, since they weren't struggling at all," Riku said, biting his thumb's fingernail.

"Well, the kitchen knives are gone though," Reed told him. Then, with Riku's perception skills, he spotted something bulging out of Yami and Yumi's back.

"Found the knives," he claimed, and took them out, and it were the knives, but they were surprisingly clean.

"What the..." he then noticed wet stains, not blood though, on their shirts. "Ah. That explains it," he muttered.

Echo and Lucine was busy trying to look for clues at the third floor, which was pretty complicated.

But eventually, they found a trail of blood. "Hey look!" Lucine pointed to it.

"I see it," she said,  touching it. It was still wet. "It's recent," she came to the conclusion.

"Recent? I thought it came from the third-" they were cut off as they heard a rustle nearby. They went to check it, and saw that Reed tripped.

They sweat dropped. "Ah. Sorry, girls. I was busy looking for clues too. I found something you guys might not want to see," he said.

"What?" They asked. "I found a lot of poisonous substances here, and a bunch load of sharp things," he replied, showing his bleeding hand.

"And I accidentally touched one of them," he continued, as Echo took out a med-kit and wrapped bandages around his hand.

"Gee, you could've been more careful," Lucine said, pouting a bit at Reed, who in turn, nodded.

"Are you two..." both Reed and Lucine blinked, and blushed at the comment, knowing what she meant.

"No!" They both replied, and Echo nodded, before they all investigated the room.

As Reed has stated, there were plenty of poisonous and corrosive substances in the room, like hydrochloric acid, mercury, etc.

There were also plenty of knives, of all kinds, ranging from butcher knives, to Swiss knives.

"Strangely, all of the knives weren't touched, like, at all...all except the one Reed touched," Echo said to them.

"Maybe because the killer wanted them to die without spilling any blood," Reed said, before both him and Echo looked at Lucine.

Lucine is the only person from the entire group of survivors, not capable of seeing deaths, especially if there's blood.

Lucine, in turn, looked at them. "What?" She asked, and they shook their heads.

Meanwhile

"I'm surprised that there's no leads on who the murderer is," Mishiga said, yawning.

"Master," Cyber asked Mishiga, who then looked at her. "Yeah?" He replied back.

"Are you in despair?" She asked. Mishiga shook his head. "If I was, I would've killed someone," he replied.

"Are you feeling hopeful?" She continued asking. "....." Mishiga fell silent hearing her question.

"Well then, investigation time is over!! Everyone head to the trial room immediately!" Monokuma yelled out.

"Cyber..." Mishiga looked at Cyber, who nodded and went to Mishiga's dorm.

Mishiga just watched her go, before sighing. "I wish this nightmare ends," he muttered, hiding a glass bottle half-filled with hydrogen peroxide, a poisonous compound, into his jacket pocket.
