Danganronpa: Poisoned Hope (Fanganronpa)

Chapter 3 - Beating Regret, Heartless Sorrow - Motive, FTE: Ryuto, Tama, Gin

"This is an official announcement from Headmaster Monokuma! It is now 7 am! Did you sleep well? Anyway, get ready for another beautiful day at the academy!"

The monitor in my room turned off as I sat up, rubbing my eyes after hearing the announcement.

Monokuma's voice definitely isn't the best thing to wake up too...

Getting out of bed, I decided to do my daily morning routine. Nothing much changed, except for one thing.

As I started into one of my drawers, I noticed something: one of my pairs of underwear were missing.

That's strange...In an underwear drawer, you'd expect your undergarments to be there. So where could they be?

What if...Maybe there's a pervert or something going around? Or some creep?

"A pervert?" I repeated to myself. "Don't be crazy...There's no way that there is a creeper in the academy...right?"

I brushed it off. Maybe they were still being washed or something. I had more important things to do right now, like getting to the breakfast meeting...

-

The normal crowd was there; everyone except Kei. I greeted them all and took my seat.

"How is that freak still alive? He never comes to these meetings, so what does the bastard eat?" Mizuki asked.

"The last time I was in his dorm, I left a bunch of potato chips. Maybe he's just snacking on those, " Ryuto suggested.

"Well, as long as he's fed and hydrated, I'm happy. Although, he should come to these get-togethers, " Toshiro added.

"Oh yeah!" Tama began. "Talking about hydration, you're not scared anymore Gin!"

"What do you mean?" Gin questioned.

"Yesterday you were all freaked out about the water and-"

"I don know what you talking about...I was never scared, " he said, obviously lying.

"Nah, you were super scared. I saw it with my own eyes, " Ryuto joined in.

"Well, I wasn't scared at all! And-"

"Uhm, excuse me, everyone!" Ichika spoke up.

"Huh? What's wrong, Ichika?" I asked.

"This may sound a bit strange but...Has anyone seen a pair of underwear anywhere?" She announced.

...What?

That's a pretty bold thing to ask everyone.

"And why the hell would we see your underwear anywhere besides your own room, you weirdo, " Reina scoffed.

"I never said my underwear!"

"When ya say it like that, it totally sounds like you're looking for your panties! Maybe your some freak that left them laying around? You're into that stuff aren't you!" Mizuki added.

"No! It's just..." She sighed. "I believe a pair of my underwear has gone missing...or even stolen. It has been happening for a while now, but I finally decided to ask! It was just a bit embarrassing,"

"You too?" I blurted out as everyone turned to look at me.

"Hm? Don't tell me...Kuro! You too?" she gasped.

"Yeah, I noticed this morning,"

"Ok, I didn't give a shit about the ballerina's panties, but whoever took Ku's is gonna get it! Although...They must have good taste...I'm so jealous yet so mad at the same time!" Mizuki laughed.
