(Mastermind!Ouma X Saihara) What I've Done

(Not proofread)

(Also this is a sort of 'mastermind regrets decisions, tries to save everyone' scenario soo if you expect another psychotic kokichi for the majority of this oneshot you ain't getting it)

(And also this is long)

Ouma sat in the bedroom of his room looking over stuff on his tablet. For now, everything with the killing game was so far going correctly with a few hiccups. He didn't predict Kaede would die in the first trial. If he had to be honest, he wanted her to be the protagonist but clearly he had miscalculated her actions. Then again that was the beauty of this whole game. He grinned. It was exhilarating!

To the participants who take part in this after leaving the game, it must feel knowing the outlook of the world. The way Team Danganronpa could comfortably erase memories of participants to get more genuine reactions to murders and be transparent about it, the way that some people would consider working here as a desirable job. The bar of what was morally right has lowered and people murdering for entertainment became a standard in the industry producing these shows.

Kokichi worked with Team Danganronpa for a while now, his job being at first only gathering participants and inducing amnesia using various methods. This time however he got to be the mastermind of a killing game. At this point, he felt as if he has become apathetic and violence and human suffering didn't bother him any more. It was one of his job requirements. Although every now on then he felt a twinge of regret which he tried to suppress in the deepest part of his brain.

There had been many Masterminds, adding variations to the Junko Enoshima model after the fandom's wishes. From what he remembered the last time the mastermind was a grownup Monaca Towa who returned and tried to make a killing game after chilling in space for a while.

And today it was his job. He sighed. As he looked at the list of names, Rantaro and Kaede crossed out. He hummed. Next should be Kirumi and Ryoma if he judged correctly. He heard a knock at his door. He walked over to the stack of white papers and hid it underneath. once it was covered he opened the door to a familiar face of the game's new protagonist.

Shuichi Saihara.

Ouma had to admit when he consulted the writing crew about his character he was quite intrigued. It sounded quite interesting and his talent reminded him of Kyoko, his second favorite character in the franchise. The boy smiled.

"H-Hey O-Ouma-kun...I was wondering if you'd like to hang out with me..." Shuichi stuttered shyly fiddling with a strand of his navy hair. He picked up this habit ever since he stopped wearing that hat.

'Huh? Why?' was the first thing Ouma thought. He was making himself specifically unlikeable so people would leave him alone to come up with the motives.

"Oh~! Well, I was busy buuuut I'd never pass an opportunity to be with my beloved!" Kokichi teased. Shuichi blushed and his cheeks colored in rosebud pink but before he could answer, Kokichi was already dragging him to the dining hall. He could use a little tea break.

The two sat down after making two mugs of for both of them with Kokichi grabbing some cheap cookies from the cupboard. The two sat down.

"A tea party sounds kind of out of character for someone like you" Shuichi said sipping his tea. Kokichi giggled.

"Nonsense! My evil organization has mandatory tea parties every day!" Kokichi pouted childishly. That was kind of his shtick. In truth, any childish innocence he had has been erased as a part of Team Danganronpa Employee Training. But he still felt a bit of sweet nostalgia as he did things back in the day when he wasn't a heartless monster. Back when he could sleep at night.
