Danganronpa: DISCONTINUED

The Queen of the Castle

Ever since my encounter with Celestia, she had always stayed near our group...

Though Aoi was never nervous, even going as far as telling her off sometimes, Chihiro and I didn't have the confidence she had.

That much was evident with how she would glare and scare Chihiro into silence and how only one finger was enough to keep me quiet...

Despite how much Celestia would tease and pressure me, I missed Kiri... I missed how kind and gentle she was. How she hesitated with holding my hand, only ever doing anything if I was absolutely okay with it..

Celestia merely gave me threats that were laced with kind, gentle words... So much so, that Aoi tried her very best to ensure that neither Chihiro and I were alone with her...

Unfortunately, Aoi wasn't here to save me this time...

As soon as I raised my hand to knock on her door, Celestia opened the door and pulled me in, causing me to stumble into her room and turn around to see the door being locked by her.

Celestia: You came as instructed. Good boy~
Naegi: H-Hold on.. I-
Celestia: Now. Tell me what I want to know.
Naegi: I told y-you everyth-
Celestia: That's precisely what you said last time. And the time before that. And yet, you always managed to squeal out bits of information.

While Celestia slowly stepped towards me, I backed up. I felt my nerves get the better of me as I backed up into the bed.

Celestia's other hand came up as she placed a gentle palm on my chest, her nail slowly motioning small circles around my shirt as her piercing red eyes staring down into my own.

Celestia: Besides.. I'm starting to believe that you enjoy visiting.
Naegi: why.. w-would I-
Celestia: You visit consistantly, My dear~ I must say that I appreciate it..

As her fingers trailed up my chest and to my neck. I felt my face grow pale as she continued to gaze down upon me, causing me to divert my eyes from her gaze.

Her hand gently cupped my chin, forcing me to stare into her eyes as they seemingly glowed slightly as her hand gently brushed against my cheek...

Contrary to what she would do previously, Celestia seemed more gentle... More caring.

Celestia: Really.. Despite being so frail, being at my mercy.. You visit. You care enough to see and visit me. You're so kind..
Naegi: I.. I-I can't just..
Celestia: Seeing you with your friends... It makes me feel a special. Thank you.

Before I could respond, Celestia's finger covered my mouth as her lips curved into a smile.

Celestia: Thank you for giving me this feeling.. of Power~

A sudden knocking on the door cut Celestia off. Her fingers clenched into a fist as she pulled away and walked towards the door. I slowly got off of her bed and tried to kill off my blush as Celestia opened the door.

Celestia: Yes?
Byakuya: I know Makoto Naegi is here. I demand his presence.
Celestia: Ah.. And what for, if I may ask?
Byakuya: That isn't your business. I demand him.

Though her eyes narrowed, Celestia nodded before she smiled and turned towards me.

Celestia:... Very well. Makoto, My dear~ Togami would like to see you.
Naegi: O-On my way..!

As I left Celestia's room, Byakuya sighed and adjusted his glasses while he looked down at me.

Byakuya: Come with me.
