XLIV. FOURTY-FOUR
Hmpf... you've still
got ways to go
Kokichi dragged off Gonta while I trialled behind him, how did I end up in this situation...? I always catch myself in the worst situations. Now I can't watch over everyone, I'm stuck with Kokichi and Gonta. I rubbed my nubs up and down my arms, even if virtually, the weather was surprisingly cold. 'Would it have killed Miu to make us at a beach...?
'Don't worry! Leave it all to me! I'll keep an eye on him!' Gonta, you sure did keep a good eye on him, a good job...
"Are you ok? Y/N looks very cold." Gonta turnt to me with a wide smile, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Would Y/N like a warm hug?"
I waved him off, "I-Its fine... i'm just not built for the snow."
"Geez, Y/N! Thank goodness you could keep up, if not, you'll just be useless!"
"Thanks Kokichi.... Somewhat.." I rolled my eyes and walked further down the snowy path. Chapter four was, if i had to confess, was one of my least favorite chapters.... Everything felt rushed and there could be 12 different murders that all occured in the matter of seconds. At this point anyone could die or commit murder with how sleep deprived we all were....
Kokichi suddenly leapped out of Gontas grip and landed in the snow, "...What the fuck are you doing?"
"Snow angels." He simply responded and started to make tiny snow angels on the ground. He stood up and stepped back to admire his work, turning to me he asked, " Soooo!"
"So what?"
"How do you think I did?"
"Pretty good, your head moved too much... or maybe you just have a big head..." I teased him.
He subconsciously threw his hands up to measure his head, he bawled crying about how mean I am. Gonta put a hand on both of our heads. "Gonta sure Y/N doesn't mean it!"
"I meant every word."
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! You're so mean!" The shorter male whaled, before smirking. "If you think i did bad, you do it then!"
Before i could object, the tiny man shoved me forward and my body landed face first onto the snowy ground. Dirt and snow piled into my mouth as I didn't know whether to spit it out or vomit.. "It's too cold for this...."
Gonta extended a hand towards me and pulled me up, there, someone shouted at us. "H-Hey!"
'Miu...' The blond rushed up to us tired, she put her hand on her knees and flashed us a tired smile. "Who invited her?!"
"I'm not here for you!" She mumbled, she looked me in the eyes, "I'm here for her."
"Me?"
"Yes, you! I don't have much time to explain, just follow me."
"Wait, at least explain to me the situation!" I pulled my hand backwards, she lost her grip and my ass fell down in the snow. Kokichi watched from Gonta shoulders amused.
"I..." She looked at me and back at kokichi before mumbling a frustrated, "forget it."
"M-Miu wait!"
"I'll find someone else! I dont need your trashy ass!"
The female shouted and soon disappeared from our pixelated sight. Kokichi giggled and told us to head inside the tall building waiting for his next instructions. Walking up the steep steps, we finally reached the top. It was all calm and the winter air pricked at our ears.
"Wow..." I heaved out.
"It's not that impressive....boing, really." Kokichi sighed. "Now, go back inside."
I questioned. "Inside?!"
"Kokichi said--" He waved off Gonta and ordered him to bring us back inside. I looked up at the 6'6 man, our faces mixed in with confusion and concern. "We'll be inside..."
He held open the door for both of us, walking in. We stayed quiet for a few minutes straining our ears, hearing something drop and a spring sound. After what it seemed like forever, Kokichi opened up the door with a huge grin.
"You're done?"
"Yep! Nishishishi! Just wanted to test some things out." He led the way back downstairs and out the tall tower. Now heading back to the group over the bridge, he suddenly shouted. "Huh? There's a bridge. You guys made a bridge? Good thing, because I was looking for a way to cross the river."
"I didn't even know there was a river here..." I mumbled.
"...More importantly, where the hell were you?" Kaito jabbed a finger at Kokichi.
"I went to the forest over there, to look for the secret to the outside world. But too bad. I didn't find anything. I didn't think I'd find it so easily, though ...Right, Gonta? Right, Y/N?"
"Y-Yeah..." Gonta agreed with him.
"Eh, good timing. Let's all get goin'!" Angie giggled with glee, Kokichi asked.
"...Good timing? What do you mean?"
"O-Oh! It's nothing! Let's... just go!"
Kirumi and Miu were the first to cross, "Right, everyone! Hurry up n' get over here!"
"No take-backs! I'm on this side now!" Kokichi jumped over, hanging onto Kirimis extended arm. Everyone slowly climbed over, Rantaro and Kirumi both extended their arms for me to grab onto. Landing on the other side safely, Himiko sighed.
"Ooh... I was a bit scared, but nothing really does break in here, does it."
"That's what I've been TELLIN' you!"
"By the way, what about that squiggly line that was on the map? Shouldn't it be around here?" Rantaro rolled his eyes and quickly asked a question before everyone decided to split up.
"Yea'! Why don't 'ya check it out?! It's right over there."
Everyone kept quiet as Rantaro walked over to it. Kiibo hummed, "Nothing will break, huh... According to my calculations, it normally would've broken just by stepping on it. But all it did was bend."
"Nyahahaha! As long as it doesn't fall into the river, we have a very safe bridge."
"How safe could it be?"
"Well, Ryoma! If it does fall into the river, we can just use Kiiboy!"
"Why me?!"
"Nishishishi! Nothing breaks in this world, don't worry!
"Don't treat me like an object...!"
"Do i have to separate you two again?" Kirumi snapped. The two fell silent and sent a quick, 'im sorry, Tojo/ Mom.'
"I really was scared... I thought I'd have a heart attack." Himiko placed a hand on her heart before Tenko intertwined her fingers with her. "Does this body have a heart?"
"Of course! You have one of the most beautiful hearts here!"
Tsumugi shuttered, "H-How cold...! I just want to get to church already! And go to someplace warm!"
"What does the line in the map mean... Miu didn't really explain. We should check it out." The assassin turned to Shuichi. "You do it."
"This will be interesting, kehe..."
We decided to split up again, this time with Rantaro clinging onto us. He argued, well.. Kokichi just complained about him coming with us. "Your green hair is stupid."
"Thank you..? I kinda like it"
"It makes you look like a wannabe leprechaun."
"Both of you guys have some weird nicknames for me..." Rantaro giggled. We walked over the rocky road and headed into the building, thank god.. My feet felt like they were going to kill me. Before Kokichi could fully open the door, something interrupted us.
"A body has been discovered!"
'Fuck...'
