Torment and Lies (New Danganronpa V3 x OC)

[2.5] Rock Paper Scissors

A/N: this is a chapter event like the rantarou tsumugi kaede event in chapter 1! this would take place if you get the rock paper scissors cards from the monomono machine and talk to ichika before heading to the dining hall
our girl kaede needs more screentime so I give it to her

This is in Kaede's POV:

I found Ichika pacing the dining hall by herself, a pouty expression on her face.

"..." Ichika's pout remained on her face as I walked up to her.

"Good morning Aki-san." I said with a wide smile. "Is everything alright?"

Ichika looked up at me and gave me a wide smile. "Oh, well if it isn't Miss pretty girl! How can I help you?"

"Miss pretty girl...?" I blinked and shook my head lightly with a slight blush. "A-Anyway, you seem down. Something wrong?"

"Yeah!" Ichika's pout returned with a vengeance. "I'm so bored right now! There's nothing to do here except wander around this school which I've done enough of, I've looked literally everywhere, or go to my dorm and do nothing!"

"Well I mean... You could always try talking to other people here and make some friends!" I suggested, clasping my hands together with a bright smile. "Look, I have some Rock-Paper-Scissors Cards here!" I pulled out a deck of cards.

Ichika's eyes lit up. "I didn't know you had these! Why didn't you tell me sooner!" She pouted.

"S-Sorry, kinda forgot I had these on me haha..." I chuckled nervously.

"Well then, as punishment... Let's play a few games together! Cmoonnnn!" Ichika's eyes sparked in anticipation as she leaned closer to me. "Pleaaassseeee?"

Would you like to go with Ichika?

Yes ✔

No

I sighed and gave the small girl a light chuckle. "Of course, I'd love to."

Ichika high fived herself and cheered. "Yes! One point for Ichika! Let's play in the library later this afternoon. I need to practice my rock paper scissors skills nyufufu. I'll see you there Akamatsu-san!" She cheerfully skipped away, presumably to practice the card game.

I paused and blinked in realisation. "...Isn't rock paper scissors a game based on luck?"

***

Back in my dorm, I check the clock and notice that it's the afternoon. I should probably head over to the library now so I don't leave Ichika waiting.

Arriving at the library, I couldn't help but notice that the person in the library wasn't the one that I was waiting for.

"Huh? Harukawa-san?"

The twin-tailed girl stared me directly in the eyes and let out an annoyed huff. "Did you get dragged here by Aki as well?"

I blinked. "Dragged here? No no, I agreed to play a game with her, that's all." I chuckled, scratching the back of my head. Maki was radiating a very irritated aura and I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. "Speaking of Aki-san, have you seen her-"

I was cut off by someone jumping on my back and wrapping their arms and legs around my torso. "Boo!"

"Argh!" I let out a scream and tumbled forwards, losing my footing. I braced for impact when I felt a pair of hands on my shoulders press against them and push me back up, Ichika still clinging to my back.
