Paint a Live (Date a Live x Male reader x Danganronpa V3)

Chapter 7: You Guys Said "Seal"?

(Your POV)
I finished taking a shower and put on a white t-shirt with some paint stains on it and a pair of pajama pants. I walked out of the bathroom with The Circle Act 1 following close behind, I wanted to see if anyone else could see it, so I walked by the laundry room and dumped my wet clothes in the dryer before turning it on and walking out of the room. I walked into the living room to see Miu was holding her phone in a disappointed manner while Kaede was working on our project with a somewhat red hue on her face. I sat down at the couch close by and began helping out with the project.

"So we're supposed to be writing about historical figures for this project?" I asked two girls, both of whom just nodded in agreement. "So why not start off with someone everyone knows...Rasputin!"

"It would be easy to search for sources about him, but there is no part of his history that was NOT messed up, he's so bad that the Korekiyo is convinced he's the antichrist." Kaede informs me, which surprised me because it's Korekiyo for crying out loud, he looks like a BDSM Orochimaru had sex with a nazi.

"Why not Lovecraft?" Miu suggests before taking a seat next to me, which honestly didn't sound like a bad idea until you remember...

"Lovecraft was incredibly racist, even by 1900's American standards." I educated the two girls on the figurehead of horror literature. "It was so bad, he was scared of everything and everyone, a technique he managed to weave into his novels."

"Geez, how about Joseph Stalin?" Miu suggests, gaining looks of irritation from both me and Kaede because neither of us wanted to do a project about a guy who pretty much destroyed an entire country out of spite. "Okay, maybe not."

"Why do most of the well known historical figures have some sort of dark secret about them?" Kaede sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. "George Washington had a slave farm, Christopher Columbus was a mass murderer, and Funny Valentine was obsessed with the corpse of Jesus Christ."

"Maybe it's because we're judging them with today's standards instead of standards back then, plus we need to remember that these people were still human so we can't go around idolizing them." I suggested, making everyone go silent because I wasn't wrong.

"Shut up nerd." Kotori appeared behind me and karate chopped my head with her hand, making me jump a bit because of the suddenness of the action. "By the way, Tohka's going to be staying with us now."

"This isn't something you can just say 'by the way' and expect it to work!" I shouted at my sister, who merely rolled her eyes from the kitchen while Reine sat around too because I guess she made herself an official member of our household. "So why is she living here of all places?"

"Well aside from all the apartments close by being taken up by high school students like Kaito, Rantaro, and everyone else, we need to keep Tohka in a good mood." Reine informs me, which is confusing because I didn't exactly seal Tohka's power. "From what I'm able to tell, her power went into you for some reason."

"Oh I know, I stole her power like you guys told me to." I answered bluntly, making everyone around me freeze, did I say something wrong? "You guys did say 'steal', right?"

"(Y/N), we said seal, S-E-A-L." Kaede informs me, which makes so much more sense now that I think about it, wait, am I the only one who thought they were saying steal? "Is there anything you'd like to admit?"

"Well if anyone in the audience can read kanji or japanese, they'd know I wrote 'steal' on Tohka's body, so I kind of have all of Tohka's power in my body right now." I deadpanned before remembering a good idea for our project's main focus. "Oh hey, Steve Iriwin isn't evil in the slightest and we can do our project about him."
