Regrets, Restarts, and Forgiveness

Chapter 9

A few days have passed. Things have been kinda dull for me. I mean, yes I would hang out with Gonta just about everyday, but that was about it. But, on the plus side, no one is dead, so the killing game has started yet.

But it also hasn't ended.

Okay, truth is, I would do thorough investigations of the academy every day. Then I would write them in my note book, which I may or may not have stolen from the Ultimate Detective's room.

Sadly, I haven't had too many new foundings. Mostly just the same stuff I found in the first time line. However, I have been keeping note of all my classmates, such as their strengths and weaknesses. In fact, that's what I'm currently doing right now.

"Korekiyo Shinguji. The Ultimate Anthropologist. Strengths: cunning, perceptive, and has thorough cultural knowledge. Weaknesses-" I tapped my pen against my knee, thinking over his weaknesses.

"Weaknesses: is a serial killer, believes is possessed by dead sister, and over all has crazy moments." I blinked.

"Why the hell haven't we locked this guy up somewhere?" I thought aloud. Well, he hasn't made any dangerous moves....yet. Guess I'll just keep my eye on him for now.

"Kokichi!" I heard outside my door. I chuckled and closed my book, stuffing it under my bed, then went to open the door.

"Hey Gonta." I said.

"What we do today?" Gonta asked. I shrugged.

"How about we play some games in the game room?" I asked. "Okay, let's go!" He said excitedly. I let him lead me out of the dorms room and towards the basement. Once at the bottom, we made our way to the game room.

"Come! Lots of games in here!" Gonta said. I nodded as he pushed open the door.....but that's when we saw something strange.

Kaede, Himiko, Tenko, and Angie....surrounding a table, where Rantaro sat. He was holding Kaede's hand....painting her nails?

"Am I next?" Himiko asked. "No, Atua says that his most faithful servant shall be next, and that's me!" Angie stated.

"Don't be rude! Himiko was here before you!" Tenko stated. Rantaro chuckled.

"Chill out, every can get a turn if you want." Rantaro replied.

"What's with the sudden chick flick playing in here?" I asked, announcing my presence. The girls and Rantaro looked at me. "Oh, hey Kokichi. Gonta. What are you guys doing here?" Kaede asked.

"Well, we were gonna play some games, since this is the game room. Buuuut I'm much more curious why you ladies are flocking around Rantaro." I replied. Gonta tilted his head.

"Rantaro painting Kaede's nails?" He asked.

"Oh yeah, he offered to paint our nails, since he has a lot of experience." Kaede replied.

"You have experience? But, Rantaro is boy, yes?" Gonta said. "Well, when you have twelve sisters, you tend to pick up a few things about girls." Rantaro replied.

"Yeah, you sure this isn't a bother to you? I mean, I can't imagine this is fun for you." Tenko said.

"Relax, I don't mind at all." Rantaro replied smoothly. He took one last look at Kaede's nails, then nodded in satisfaction. "There, all done!" He stated. Kaede examined her nails, her eyes shining bright.

"Oh my God! They look so cute! I can't even recognize them as my own!" Kaede stated.

"Glad you like them. Himiko, you wanna go next?" Rantaro asked. Himiko nodded and sat down.
