23| Unravel The Truth

Coffee: Play the song above, that's what Misaki played in the piano room ^_^

The 5th floor was opened to them the next day as they sat on the cafeteria, their numbers gradually decreased, making the place quieter.

"I take everyone is here? Begin your reports then."

Togami started as they've exchanged informations with each other, but they can't seem to find a way out of this place or their hopeless situation.

"I found a room that caught my eye, it was filled with stench of blood and grease, I suspect a large number of people died in there."

"--What happened there?"

"--Are ya serious?"

"Alter Ego had mentioned the Biggest, Most Atrocious Despair-Including in Human History that may be where it took place."

"Is that... really the case?" Misaki said, quite dissatisfied with his theory.

"Do you want to clarify I'm wrong?"

"Nah, I'm just curious of this certain classroom your saying..."

"--I'm going to investigate that classroom, their might be some remnants of clues there."

"--There you go again, Kirigiri. Isn't it about time you tell us who you really are?"

"I cannot tell you, I can't remember." Kirigiri said as they seem not to be convinced by her answer.

"--You don't remember? Like I'm going to buy that!"

"--Don't harp on, Fukawa. And do something about your bad breathe."

"--Okay!"

Togami turned to Kirigiri, he was suspicious of her solo actions.

"--What a bad joke, I couldn't laugh if we wanted too."

"I thought you wouldn't believe—"

"--I believe you," Misaki said as they all turned to her with disbelief.

"--Of all people, you seriously believe in her, Misaki?"

"Yeah, I mean—Kirigiri wouldn't lie about something like that, right?"

"You... believe me?"

"So what if I do?" Kirigiri smiled and thanked her because she believed, but Togami wasn't satisfied so he wanted the key to her room, she gave it to him without a second thought.

Kirigiri stood up and walked out of the cafeteria as the other looked at her worriedly.

"Kirigiri—"

"Don't interact with her!"

"Don't tell me what to do, Togami!"

She exited and ran off where Kirigiri went, it wasn't that far so she was able to follow up with her footsteps.

"Kirigiri! Wait—!"

"What is it?" The albino haired girl turned as the violet head smiled.

"Don't mind Togami, he's always like that so... are you okay?"

"I am, don't concern yourself with me too much. It's a bother."

'Ouch, that's cold...'

"What's with you? Here I am, worried about you and yet..."

"I never remembered anything that you should worry about me, but... well, thanks though."

"Kirigiri..."

"You should better go back now, I bet the others are worried about you."

"Yeah, let's go back together—"

"No, I will investigate on my own."

"But—"

"I will investigate on my own." Kirigiri sternly said as Misaki nodded.

"Then... if you ever need something, call me or the others, okay?"

"Yeah,"

"That's a promise!"

"Alright," Then they went to their separate paths, now this is where the main show starts.

Misaki's Pov.

Ugh, I'm lost...

Why can I easily get lost in this place anyways? I followed the map in my electroID but how come I'm still lost?

I went down few stairs until I reached the 3rd Floor, walking by myself, somehow I finally memorised the path so I'm not lost anymore.

*Creak*

I pushed the door and went in as I closed it from inside, I took few steps until I reached the piano with my violet book.

'I really want to know the truth behind this school!'

With that thought in mind, I sat down as I flipped the pages while I randomly picked a song and played it.

'Remember, try to remember what song you played back then... if only I could remember it.'

Flashback

"Here, I've composed a song. Can you play it in the piano, Naomi?"

"Sure,"

I grabbed the papers from the blonde's hands and started to play.

"I remember now,"

I smiled as my finger began to play the piano keys, I was happy to finally remember what the missing piece is.

How could I forget this song? My friends made this for me to play.

The notes coming from my mind as I played them ended, it was just only a minute and few seconds, suddenly something popped out making me flinched.

"Hey Misaki-san, I see you've finally unlocked it...pupupu~"

I turned around to see Monokuma walking from the door with his sarcastic laugh a always.

"You... what are you doing here?"

"Pupupup, you are so dense aren't ya? Let me tell ya, I'm here to answer your questions!"

"My... questions?"

"Yeah, so ask something."

'Ask something? Seriously...?' I hummed thinking off what to ask.

"Who designed you? It's horrible,"

"How rude! Is that really what your gonna ask?!"

"Um, not really... let's see, why are you so heartless?"

"Pupupu, I'm not heartless, I just decided to use my heart less." '

"Right... so yeah, why are you making us kill each other?"

"For you guys to feel despair, that's all~ Despair is a nice feeling, heh?"

"Then... tell me who's the one pulling the strings, who's the mastermind?"

"That's a secret~!"

"What? You said I should ask something, so I expected that you'll answer it!"

"Yeah, but I never told you that I'll answering all of it y'know!"

'He got me there... so I should limit what I'll ask, huh?' I started thinking of something else that comes in my head.

"Is... the principal the mastermind?"

"I'm the principal!"

"But, it's just self proclaim isn't it?"

"...Oh, you mean him? Nope!"

'Does he mean by the word 'him' the one was Alter Ego explaining to us?'

"The 17th super high school is none other than Ikusaba Mukuro, isn't it?"

"..."

"Answer me!"

"Pupupu~ Your right!"

'I knew it... there was really a 17th student in this school!'

"Why are there steel plates everywhere? Thanks to it we're trapped in this places,"

"You guys are the ones who put it, you were desperate then!"

"We... are the ones... who put it?"

"Yeah, despair was written in your faces back then! It made me feel hot and turned on~!"

"...If what your saying is correct, why are we the ones who are captivated here?"

"My, my, I'm shocked! You made the deal with him back then that you'll stay in this school!"

"Him? You mean the former principal of this Hope's Peak Academy?"

"Yeah, can you really not remember what happened 2 years ago?"

2 years ago? What does he mean? We've been here just a week ago... what? My head hurts.

I placed my head on my palm as my eyes widened from the visions appearing on my head, it was blurry and hazy.

Flashback

"What's your name?"

A blurry image of a male stood in front of me, he was smiling. During that time, it was spring.

"Misaki... Misaki Naomi,"

His lips were moving but I couldn't make words in what his saying, it was too blurry and hazy.

Then the scenery changed, it was summer, we were at the pool with other people in the same age as I am.

"You can't swim?"

"Yeah, it sucks..."

"So that's why you're sitting here by yourself,"

"Yup."

"Then, I'll stay with you!"

Once more, the scenery changed, that guy was always with me till snow was falling from the sky, I suspected it was winter.

His lips were moving but I couldn't hear what his saying, until he smacked his lips on mine as we melted like the snow.

The flashbacks stopped as I still can't make the face of that guy, who was he? Why can't I remember?

"Seems like you remembered something good, ask more, but this will be the last!"

"The guy... who was he?"

"How could I know? I couldn't see what's in yer head y'know!"

"The guy who was always with me! I've been with him a lot of times already, who is he?!"

"Like I said: I couldn't see what's in yer head!"

"Then, what is this guy to me?"

"Dunno, maybe his your lover or something?"

It's useless, Monokuma doesn't know the guy in my head, I should ask him something else.

"This is the last question: h-how long have we've been here?"

"Pupupupu, 2 years ago!"

"S-Seriously...?"

"Yes, I better get going now, see ya later~!"

"W-Wait!"

He was already out of sight, what's with that? But now atleast... I've gather more information that we can use to get out from here!

But... who was that guy anyways?
