LII. FIFTY-TWO
Love and justice will win the day!
"What a coincidence. I thought I'd end this too!" Kokichi suddenly shows up in front of everyone in the gym causing heads to snap.
Sitting on some kind of contraption with pink round bottles in his hands and my notebook in the other. Jostling around the pink fluid he glanced at all of us.
"K-Kokichi?!" Shuichi looked as if he were going to faint.
"I thought I'd end this killing game as well." He grinned, he held up my bookbag and dropped my Jornal in it, "Y/N has some plans of her own... A journalist knows so much about her surroundings."
"Can i have it back?" I extended my palm, hoping he would give it back... however he shook his head, packing up the pink potions in the bag as well.
Gonta stood up, walking to the Supreme Leader. "Kokichi, that's not nice... Thats Y/N's bag"
"D-Dammit! How'd you get h--"
"Oh, don't move. If you don't want to become this thing's breakfast, that is."
"W-What do you mean..." Tenko asked.
"Is that a bomb...?" Ryoma took a puff of breath.
"A bomb, you say?!" Himiko looked as if she were going to faint.
"Well, basically..." Kokichi twirled some hair between his pale fingers, "If you don't want to get blown away by this bomb, listen to what I have to say.... Obediently."
Kokichi paused, Angie gave him a nudge. "Don't be shy!"
"Wait...what were we talking about?"
"Whatever you just said!"
"Don't worry, Kid.. knowing him, i doubt its a real bomb..."
Kaito ignored Himiko and Ryoma, "Y-You're using a bomb... what are you planning...!"
"Oh, I should talk about my role here, shouldn't I? It's written in the rules! 'The killing game will continue until there's two people left'." He started to sulk, "But, there's nothing in the rules that says there's a limit to the amount of people you can kill at once..."
" ...Huh?"
"With that in mind, I propose a question to everyone. Who wants to survive this killing game with me?"
"C, Could it be..."
Himiko looked as if she were going to faint, "So you're gonna kill us with those bombs?!"
"You're gonna end the killing game that way?!" Kaito yelled.
"I've been thinking... maybe I should just kill everyone and leave one person alive!"
"Kill everyone?" Rantaro asked.
"Yeah, going by the rules, it'll end this killing game. So... who wants to live with me?" I was really tempted to take up his offer just to see how it turns out. "First come, first served! Raise your hand fast!"
"Even if you break me, I will not let you control me." Kiibo cried. Everyone obliged to his offer, I however wanted my notebook back.
"Kokichi... don't you understand... nobody's going to go along with you." Shuichi sighed.
"Wow, I'm surprised. I didn't think it would go as I planned. Maybe i should use one of Y/N's plans... It's boring but I do like the class trial one!" My blood ran cold, he inspected every inch of that notebook. Everything I wrote in it, he knows. "I was just kidding about killing everyone! I just wanted to see everyone's resolve!"
"Our resolve...?"
"Everyone wants to win this game, right? So I wanna work together with everyone! With these Anti-Monokuma Weapons!" Kokichi paused watching everyone argue among themselves, "Ah, everyone's acting exactly how I thought...So I can rest easy and give these Anti-Monokuma Weapons to you!"
Rantaro asked, "Are the Anti-Monokuma Weapons... these hammers?"
"...Stop it! Don't listen to a word that comes out of his mouth!"
"We should at least hear him out, Kaito."
"Listen to Y/N!" He huffed, "At least what I have to say! This is Miu's memento!"
"Miu..?" Ryoma asked.
"Her... memento?"
Kokichi happily answered the redhead, "Yep. It's called an Electro Hammer. I had Iruma-chan make it for me. If you use this Electro Hammer, it'll send out a shock that causes all electronics to defect and not work. It's quite amazing, isn't it?"
"All electronics...?!" Kiibo looked as if he were going to faint.
"Nishishi... it might work on Kiiboy and Monokuma you're going to fight."
"Huh? Monokuma?" Tsumugi bit her lips in fear. Kaito bubbled with anger at his secret plan being overheard by Kokichi.
"Wait, you just said we're going to fight Monokuma... how do you know that---"
"Oh! I was hiding in the cafeteria and coincidentally heard everything you said!"
"If you were hiding, it wasn't a coincidence!"
"Then I found out everyone was going to fight Monokuma and I was really happy. Because I've been thinking about that the whole time, in order to end the killing game. That's why I made Miu make these Anti-Monokuma Weapons."
"That poor girl.." Kirumi sighed. "Even after she's died, being brought back to life only to die again... She's still not done working for everyone."
Maki shook her head, agreeing with Kaito. "Stop lying. You only care about the killing game."
"Did you even have Miu make those? Or are you lying again?"
"You're doubting that, too...?"
"Of course we are!" Tenko argued, "have you forgotten what you've been doing to us this whole time?"
"Yep, I have."
"We're not going to believe that!" Himiko cried. Everyone in the room argued with Kokichi. Not one person was going easy on him, he combated their arguments but after a while you could see he was getting fed up by the end of it.
When Shuichi questioned why she would even make weapons he pinned the blame on everyone. "When I had Miu make these weapons, I told her... We would fight Monokuma together. However, she... She thought she was going to get betrayed by everyone... so she kept the weapons all to ourselves..." He started to sob. "I didn't act because the Exiles were still moving, and... Well... she was scared to trust you guys. She lost to the fear of betrayal... that's why she dirtied her hands with the killing game."
Kaito cursed, "That idiot...!"
"But you're all different, right?" His eyes narrowed down to me. "You wouldn't succumb to the fear of your friends betraying you, would you? You're all gathered here today, but I wasn't quite sure if you had the resolve to fight..."
Shuichi asked, "...And to make sure of our resolve, you lied to us at the start?"
"That's right. I want you to be at your best."
"Stop bullshitting! The hell are you saying?! We don't know whether what you said about Iruma is true or not---"
"Oh, Miu didn't just make an Electro Hammer." He started to swing the hammer a little, "She also made me this bomb."
"A-A bomb?" Angie sweated.
"It's not a real bomb. It's an Electro Bomb. It releases particles that stop electromagnetic waves and blocks different communication devices. It can block radars, sensors, and even remote controls. It works for up to 50 meters, for two hours..." He slowly stood up with the hammer. "It doesn't release shrapnel, so it can be used discreetly. They're extremely useful, but I only have three, so they're invaluable..." He slowly walked around the pile of weapons. "I'm going to make sure to use them carefully. So make do with the Electro Hammers."
"What do you mean, 'make do'?! We're not using these hammers!" I tuned out the conversation. Too many times everyone argues and sometimes it's too much for me to be able to handle it all. Explanations, accusations, blame, shift the blame, debate and discuss.... If Kokichi wasn't careful again Maki was going to snap his neck...
"What reason would I have to write that?" He asked. "It would just make you think I'm the mastermind."
"...Mastermind?"
"That's right... saying something like "This world is Kokichi Ouma" is one huge flag that I'm the mastermind."
"I thought it was Monokuma's doing. He wanted to raise suspicion in our group. So that's why, I'm---"
Kokichi didn't even get to finish his question before Maki rushed forwards. Time slowed down bringing up two options, "Stop Maki" and "Watch". Clicking the obvious button, "Stop Maki", My hands flung outwards and gripped onto the Assassins arm.
Unfortunately the grip wasn't strong enough and I went flying after her. Her hand firmly gripped around Kokichis thin, pale, skinny neck as my body crashed into the pile of weapons behind the duo. Maki tightened her grip on him as he sputtered out words. 'I want to go home....'
