Torment and Lies (New Danganronpa V3 x OC)

[3] Misfortune

"Kyaaaaaaaaah!" Tsumugi screamed, hiding behind her arms.

"Amami-kun!? But... why!?" Kiibo exclaimed.

Miu gagged. "Hrk....! That's Amami? Oh, thank god! I thought it was a pile of dirty rags!"

"I see... So this ended up happening after all." Korekiyo giggled. "Kehehe... my, my. What a world this is, so full of jokes like this."

"Oh, looks like someone did end up giving in to the killing game after all!" Ichika chirped.

"Wh-What...? This is a lie, right? My dearest Amami-chan is dea-" Kokichi froze. "Oh, I mean... was kiiiiiiiiiiillled!" Kokichi burst out his crocodile tears.

Kaede shot him a glare. "That's the same thing..."

"Hmph, how ironic." Ryoma sighed. "The guy who wanted to live ended up dead... and the guy who wanted to die survived."

"So... can somebody explain the meaning of all this?" Kirumi interjected, a dark look adorning her face.

"Nah. An explanation isn't necessary. Thanks to the first blood perk, there won't be a class trial, so that'd just be a waste of time. With that said... if you're the blackened who killed Amami, raise your hand!" Monokuma looked around at the sixteen students expectantly.

"The one who... killed Amami-kun?" Tsumugi shivered.

"I knew it! A delinquent male killed Amami-san, didn't he!?" Tenko barked.

"How you know that a male killed him!?" Gonta exclaimed.

"Tch... That dumbass! How dare he go and get himself killed!" Kaito growled. "Who the hell did it!? I'll friggin' punch you into orbit!"

"Puhuhu... Don't get so angry." Monokuma laughed. "Send off your graduating classmate with warm farewells." The Monokubs appeared on top of the bookshelf behind Kirumi.

"Or send 'em off with hostility like a bunch of catty popular girls! That's fine, too!" Monosuke shouted.

"But if it's gonna disrupt the process, then we're gonna bust out the Exisals!" Monotaro added.

"Ughhh... I'm not gonna look... I don't wanna look at a nasty, dead body..." Monophanie whined.

"Slurrrrp! Nothing beats crashing a funeral!" Monokid has drool dribbling down his chin. "I'll throw in a wedding every now and then, but funerals are insane! Like fishin' with dynamite!"

Monosuke pushed his glasses up. "So whoever did this really gets to graduate, huh?"

"Heck yeah!" Monokuma grinned happily. "I'm a real stickler for the rules! I'm also tough on convenience store clerks!"

"Then congratulations!" Monotaro chirped. "Would the blackened who's about the graduate please raise their hand!"

There was a long, daunting silence. Not one of the sixteen remaining students raised their hand. 

"What the-? No one's raisin' their hand?" Monosuke exclaimed. 

Monotaro started to look around frantically. "Hey! Didja, hear me? All the blackened has to do to graduate is speak up, ya know!"

Still, no one raised their hand.

"Hm? No-ones stepping forward?" Monophanie questioned. 

Monokuma just laughed his signature laugh. "Puhuhu... I see how it is. The blackened has no need for the first blood perk. They would rather do a class trial!"

Kirumi glared at Monokuma. "Excuse me?"

"Very well, then. I will give the blackened what they want and hold a class trial!"
