Danganronpa: Dead or Alive

6️⃣Chapter 6: Now's The Time6️⃣

[Two Days Later...]

-

Jiro awoke with a sinking feeling in his gut. Today was going to be a long day. He could already tell.

"Good morning, everyone! It is now 7 a.m. and nighttime is officially over! Time to rise and shine! Get ready to greet another beee-yutiful day in your despairingly dreary killing game life!"

Ah. There it was.

Jiro groaned loudly at the sound of the morning announcement. He was growing more and more sick of that bear's voice. Ignoring his body's protesting, he rolled himself off of the couch. Quite literally, in fact. He hit the floor with a loud 'thud', which awoke Akito, whom was sleeping in the bed.

"H-Huh?? J-Jiro-kun? Are y-you okay?!" They asked, their voice still clouded with sleepiness.

Jiro didn't even raise his head. He only grunted in affirmation that he was unharmed. The sound of the bed shifting could be heard as Akito slowly slid out of it.

The Ultimate Philologist approached the boy on the ground and knelt down next to him. They reached out and gently shook their roommate.

"Jiro-kun? I think the morning a-announcement already played. M-maybe we should head to the dining hall." Akito suggested.

Jiro slowly lifted himself up off the ground. He swiped away a few stray hairs that were in his face.

"I guess so...." he mumbled.

7:15 am.

When everyone had finally gathered in the dining hall, they each began to eat their respective meals.

That's when it happened.

"Gooooood morning, my lovely students! I hope you're enjoying your thoughtfully made meal that were provided by your truly!" Monokuma said, suddenly appearing on the dining table.

"Hey! You didn't make these! I did!" Monokitty protested, which was ignored by the black and white bear.

Everyone stared at the bear with each having different looks in their eyes.

"What do you want, you mechanized animal?" Benjiro asked.

"Glad you asked! I'm here for a very important reason. That being, IM BORED AS HELL!!! Why hasn't anyone killed yet?! This is so boring to watch!" Monokuma growled, causing a few people to jump.

"Because no one wants to! We aren't going to kill each other just because you said so!" Mizuki spoke up.

Monokuma tapped his chin thoughtfully. It was silent for awhile until he spoke again.

"Oh, I get it. You don't got a reason, eh? Weeeelll, upupupu~...I'll give you a reason. Here is your first motive!" He began.

Everyone looked at him in confusion.

"If no one kills within two days, everyone will be executed!"

It was dead quiet. Then..

"W-Wha?! That's horrible!!" Monokitty cried.

Yasha stood up. "Punishment without wrongdoing?! That's the worst kind of death!!" He said, angrily.

"Upupu~ then I suggest you start killing! See ya!" Monokuma said before disappearing.

"Hey wait! Get back here!" Monokitty yelled, disappearing as well.

Everyone remained quiet again after that. They were unsure of what to do at that point. Especially with the information they were given.
