Save & Kill Classroom

Chapter 3: Time For Motives

"Itona-kun, (Y/N)-chan." I heard the octopus as he came out of a push.

I didn't rudely do this, but I pushed Itona from me, in case if anyone got offended.

"T-that was defiantly nothing." I told Koro Sensei.

"What is?" he asked me.

"(Y/N)-chan is just nervous near to people." Itona lied.

"Is it? Then would you please get this?" Koro Sensei gave us a USB chip, "this was something Shinigami wanted to give everyone... I don't even know what it is."

We both grabbed it, as Itona took out his computer from his bag.

The zipper opened, as I saw many doddles and stickers on the laptop.

As he inserted mine first, he gave me the laptop with ear buds.

On the screen, it was Shinigami.

"(Y/N)-chan, if you don't kill in 5 days, we'll exterminate you with Itona Horibe." he threatened me, "and we'll be executing both of you-- with this!"

Thin, long, spears rained the whole room.

"Spears," Shinigami started explaining, "is our classical way of execution."

I felt the spear pierce me as I saw Itona's stoic face. He looked... to innocent to die.

Or that was a delusion. Something that I thought Itona was.

"However, you can kill anyone here." Shinigami gave me an offer, "if you kill any of your classmates, you can be saved. You can escape with anyone of your choice."

Shinigami was bribing me to deal something that I knew I wasn't to. I was... I was not to get tempted with his deal.

"But this deal will end if someone kills before anyone. And I tell you, you must fool everyone in the Class Trial in order to escape with the one you choose." Shinigami told me on the video as he winked.

The video ended, and I took out the ear buds.

"My turn, I guess..." Itona sighed as I gave him the ear buds.

The video seemed to be the same thing. For the first time, I saw Itona's stoic face become flinched and a bit of... anger?

He yet resisted making a poker face, and shut the laptop off.

"Gosh, I'm not sure if anyone will be motivated with something like this..." Itona sighed again.

"It's not going to be great..." I agreed with him, "do you have any plans to stop Shinigami?"

"We know Shinigami tried killing us... having a death match is not a great idea." I told them, "maybe we have to follow the plan of escaping."

"Well then..." I saw the fishes move swiftly in the water, "I guess then it's time to check where we'll be sleeping now...?"

Wait a minute. Where were we actually going to...?

"Uh, um..." I nervously spoke up as I was blushing like the ripest apple, "maybe we sleep in the Classroom...?" I thought innocently.

I swear, if he didn't--

"You know Shinigami gave us dorms, so don't think something weird inside, (Y/N)-chan." Itona told me.

"Ok then..." I nervously laughed, "that's good..."

"What were you thinking?" Itona suddenly asked me.

I flinched, as the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

If we didn't say that...

Itona then left without saying, as I saw the glowing red Kanji letter on his face once again.

Shi. That kept distracting me, not even the shiniest fishes were even to be seen. Not even the Sun.

And then...

I also had one.

That meant we both were going to die in this "Danganronpa" game.

And as the process of this thinking just kept repeating, I wished if I didn't exist in this point...

But that would just make Itona sad, right?

So... what exactly could the answer of saving everyone be?

None.

This was an absolute checkmate.

Or that was what I thought for the moment.

Maybe for a moment.
