Chapter 4 - Who Am l?

Ding dong.

I heard my doorbell ringing. I finally got up off my bed. I guess last night's interaction with Kyoko left me drained, so Monokuma's morning announcement failed to wake me up.

I get up off my bed and open my door.

"T- Taka?!" I shouted.

"Fantastic morning, innit?" He yells.

"No matter how intensely the stormy seas may batter my resolve, I shall not falter, so long as my feet remain firmly planted! You concur with this sentiment, do you not?"

"What? I can't comprehend this shit." I replied.

"If you can't manage on your own, just find a mate to give you a hand, and you can give them a hand back. That's how to overcome any storm!"

"Ah, I see! You were asking us to meet at the dining hall every morning, mate?" I asked.

"Accurate!" He yells in the fire.

Well, I guess I shall go to the dining hall too, then.

As everyone finally arrived, Taka started to announce his agenda.

"Everyone, I really appreciate your initiatives to lay out a schedule for us to meet together today."

"I believe in order to achieve our goal, which is to get outta here, we will need a firm trust, teamwork chemistry, and intimacy. From now on, every post-morning-announcement, we will meet here to eat together!" He tapped the table hard.

I raised my hand.

"Our goal is to escape? You mean to stay protected here but change the dictato-"

"Mmmh! Fuck me! What was that shit?" I spat out a wadded tissue.

I turned my head to my left, no one. To my right, it was Kyoko, with her head turned to the right. Avoiding direct gaze. In front of us, a box of tissue placed on the table.

That girl! No matter what you do i won't be manipulated into being intimate! I ain't giving you any information. I ain't anyone's asset.

"First, had anyone come up with a clue?" Mukuro Ikusaba's voice echoed the dining room. Not because it was loud, but rather because no one has found any clue.

"Seriously? Nothing at all?"

"You're going to die." Yasuhiro talked in cold tone.

"Huh?" Mukuro replied. I mean, Junko. The fake one.

"The one who survives is never the strongest. It always the one who adapt." Yasuhiro Taeko replied.

"Are you out of your mind? Living here forever?!" The fake junko gone even more frustated.

"Yeah no way i living here more!" Mondo's got even angrier.

"Well, actually living here are not that bad. After all, you guys were the ones who chose to stay here." I suddenly stated.

"Stop making stuffs up!" Mondo pull my shirt.

"I am telling you no lie." I replied calmly.

"What if it was some kind of antagonists only known as urban legend. The murdureous fiend. Like, Genocide Jack." Byakuya finally come up with his idea.

"No. If it was her, then Toko would be with Junko." I replied.

"Huh?" Mukuro and Toko turn their confused face on me.

"Ugh. We've been tapped here for days. There's no way police wouldn't search us." Hina try to cheer others.

"Police? Putting faith on them?" Suddenly Monokuma appeared.

"But what if some events happened outside that we can never expect? Like WW3 or something." I answered the question.

"There is no way WW3 occurs and destroy the world in just days of we living here." Byakuya countered my statement.

"Well Byakuya. What if i say that you are wrong. We've not been here for two or four days. But two years." I answered.

"That's very odd. There is no way we had lived for two years. Even if the clock is manipulated the effect won'r be that far." Byakuya rebuttled me again.

"I'm implying the loss of memory-"

"Hey, don't ignore me asshole!" Mondo's wrathful voice stopped our conversation.

"Okay okay. Let's get into the topic already. Am really bored. Because murders hasn't happened yet. I've come up with a sollution to motivate you guys." Monokuma finally turn around facing us.

"It's a video containing informations about what actually happens outside the school. You guys can go to the specific room designed to watch it." Monokuma continued.

"What you want from us?" Kyoko asked Monokuma.

"What i want from you? Despair. That's all." Monokuma replied shortly before he's gone.

I walked towards Makoto.

"Makoto, let's head into the room." I called him. He nodded.

"Ma- Makoto." I called him. He turn his head.

"If you see someone going to the kitchen and some knives are lost they are really intending to kill someone." I warned him. He nodded.

Sayaka followed him behind. I walked slower to make sure Sayaka and Makoto have their own private space.

As we arrived. Everyone starts picking their own dvd's.

I found my own, same as others.

I insert the dvd. But nothing shows up. Maybe the problem is in the player?

I moved into other desk and insert the dvd again. No video appeared.

I pulled the dvd and moved into other desk again.

Still, doesn't work. I pulled the dvd again, but this time, i didn't put it into other player again. I try to examine to find errors of the dvd.

I found a piece of folded paper.

I opened it.

"Keep confuse them with informations. But never to Kyoko Kirigiri." Huh?

"What are you doing Abu?" Some hands appeared to tap my back.

"J- Jin's daughter!" I quickly hid the paper inside my clenched hands after i realise the ones who called me was Kyoko.

"Jin?" She questioned me.

"Shutup!" I yelled at her. In a serious tone, not as an angry friend. Then i left the A/V room quickly.

Me?

As Monokuma's alliance?

As i walk into the hallway, then i found Mukuro in my way on one of the corner. She looks terrified.

"Mukuro." She raise her head, and she breaks her terrified expression. Clamer one. No one else around us.

"Oh, Abu? If you want me to compliment your desperate acting in the A/V room i am not available." She coldly replied. I hold my breath.

"No- nothing." I quickly left the place.

"Wait. Tomorrow is bread, and milk for breakfast." She continued. I only nodded once then head back.

So, when no one's around, she acts to me like she know me well? And she is okay for me to call the fake Junko by her real name compared to when i called her Mukuro in front of others she looks uncomfortable?

The warning letter to not give Kyoko too much information. So Monokuma knows i have the information and i am spreading it? Why he keeps quiet? Who am i here? Was this really a game or i am already trapped in a totally different universe? Am i in this universe is someone totally different than me in other universe?

Is multiverse real?

All the toughts filling my head. I think i need a rest. I open my bedroom door, closed it. Quickly ran and cuddle my pillow. Especially, with my belly growling.

Was the dinner poisoned? I don't know. It's not matter.

I gotta rest. I think my fatigue has skyroketted.
