So, where are we?
Well,we're still at the academy, trying to find an escape route.
How?
No killing,duh.
The windows are shut, there are surveillance cameras, how to escape?
Let's see.....
Everyone has gathered here to discuss the escape plan I had in mind.
Kyoko: So, what do you think we should do now? Should we just continue to scowl at each other forever?
Her words, they pull us back into reality.
Kiyotaka: That’s right. Of course, you’re right.In times of fear and anxiety, one must continue moving forward!
Tears streamed down on his face as he feared being killed by one of us.
Kiyotaka: How could I forget such a simple thing? I’m despicable. I’ll never forgive myself! Anyone, please hit me! I deserve it! Please, anyone!
He didn't mean it,his face was full of sadness and fear and despair, is as if he wanted to die so badly rather than face the music and be killed.
Mondo: If you have time to make so much noise, just do it yourself.
Hifumi: But, speaking concretely, what exactly is our mission...?
Leon: Are you an idiot? We should totally look for a way to escape!
Junko: And while we’re at it, we should find whoever is controlling that stuffed toy and give him a good beating!
Chihiro: Before we do that, shouldn’t we take a look at that Electronic Student ID card? Monokuma mentioned some rules, and it’s probably best to check them before doing anything...
S/He's right.We should.
Celeste: It would be a bother if we go on acting without knowing the rules, and end up in an explosive situation like before.
Mondo: Hrm.
Junko: So, let’s just get it over with and check what those rules are all about...
Immediately after I turned on the Electronic Student ID Card, my name floated up on the screen.
Just like Monokuma told us, the card owner’s name is displayed when the card is activated.
After that, I chose the “Rules” icon from the menu screen that showed up...
And the list of rules appeared on the screen, one by one.
In short, the rules binding us were...
1. The students will live a communal lifestyle with no time limit inside the school walls.
2. The time between 10 pm and 7 am is called “Night Time”. During Night Time there are places that are forbidden to enter, so please take care.
3. Sleeping is only permitted in the personal rooms prepared for you in the dormitory area. Anyone intentionally falling asleep elsewhere will be punished.
4. You may investigate the school as you please. There are no special restrictions on your actions.
5. No violence is permitted against the school’s headmaster, Monokuma. Destruction of the surveillance cameras is forbidden.
6. A “culprit” who kills a fellow student will graduate the school. However, they must not let any other student know they are the culprit.
7. Additional rules may be added by the school at any time.
I look up feeling a lit bit dizzy, but everyone is angry with the rules.
Mondo: What the heck is going on with these darned rules? Do they really think they can control us this way?
Celeste: If you think they can’t, how about you try going around ignoring them? I’d really like to know what happens when someone breaks them, you see...
Hifumi: But... if he tries anything, Mondo's number of remaining lives will drop to zero...
Mondo:.......Ever since I was a little kid, I was taught discipline by my big brother. You must keep a “man’s promise” even at the cost of your own life.
Junko: ...so?
Mondo(getting angry):There’s still one promise I haven’t made good.So there’s no way I’m dying in this place!!
Celeste: I can’t say I really understand, but for now let’s agree to follow the rules?
Mondo:...hm? Ah... I guess that’s how it has to be...for now.......
Sayaka: Excuse me... Can I say something? This sixth rule... what do you think it means?
6. A “culprit” who kills a fellow student will graduate the school. However, they must not let any other student know they are the culprit.
This doesn't make sense.....but,
Me:Are you talking about the second part, about “not letting any other student know?"
Yeah, I kind of wondered about that part myself.
Byakuya: Hmmm...it probably means if you want to graduate, you must kill without anyone finding out.
Toko(in shock):W...why? What’s going on here?
Byakuya:Toko,you don’t have to worry about it.Just make sure you keep the rules you were given. That’s the only thing you all have to remember.
Byakuya: You’re all a bunch of losers who can’t do anything that’s not decided for you by someone else. So don’t ask needless questions.
Toko(blushing): ...such moving words.
Leon: As in bowel movements, right?
Aoi:Well......for the time being, let’s just drop all this foolish talk about killing.We all know the rules now, so let’s go and search the school!
Kiyotaka:Where are we? Is there an emergency exit somewhere? What about food and essential goods?
There is a mountain of things we must find us ahead of us!
Leon: Alright, everyone -- let’s go exploring!!
His enthusiasm is all pumped up, but someone chose another option.....
Byakuya:...I’m going alone.
Junko:Huh? Why? Isn’t that really strange?
Byakuya: I’m sure there’s at least one of you who’s already scheming about killing someone...Are you saying I should cooperate with someone like that?
Sayaka: Hey, wait a minute! You can’t say that!
Byakuya turned upon one by one among us and said:
Byakuya:You can’t be certain I’m wrong, can you? And that’s exactly why you all got so scared once you heard about the graduation rule....am I wrong?
Sayaka was shocked by the rich boy's words.
Sayaka: T...that is.........
Mondo's face was red with wrath .
Mondo:Why you.... you think we’ll just let you do whatever you want?
Byakuya:Get out of my way, plankton.
Yes, it's true that Mondo is a plankton, and by plankton, I mean lower class.
Mondo: Huh!? What do you mean by that!?
Byakuya:A single plankton drifting in the ocean.It doesn’t matter what you do, yours is a tiny existence that has no effect on the vast sea around you.
Mondo grew impatient,ready to punch. Don't tell me...
Mondo:Are you trying to make me kill you?!
Me:H...hey, wait! We shouldn’t fight!!
Mondo: Hmm? Are you trying to be all nice with us? Well then,folks, I’m going to teach that boy a lesson. Are you all going to stop me!? No? Ok.....get ready to watch this boy being clobbered to bits!
Me: N...no, that’s not what I meant...
Mondo:Zip it,bucko!
** POW!! **
I was hit.
And then fell down.
It was a pretty fall. Just like in a movie.
It was extremely sudden, without any introduction or foreshadowing.
I got hit and fell down...
Come to think of it, I probably have already forgotten...the kids I’m stuck with are this kind of people...
It’s as if my common sense couldn’t handle it... this “Super High-school Level” business. A bunch of people that make no sense at all.
So of course, such a nonsensical development was bound to happen.
That’s what I probably have... already... forgotten......
My consciousness slowly drifted away.
And then suddenly cut out,the next time I opened my eyes...
Me:Uh....W...what?Where am I?
As expected, it was a room I didn’t recognize.
Me: For starters...I should find out what this place is...
Now what is this? A dorm? There's a bed, a surveillance camera,tch..as much as I hate it,I can't destroy it or else Monokuma will have my head off., a door to the shower room, a trash can, hey, I found a coin, but why of all things it has to be that darned bear's head?! Notebook, tool kit, a locked exit, my room's key and a notice.
Hey,what's the notice for? Well I'm about to find out.
There is a piece of paper taped to the wall.
“An Announcement from Headmaster Monokuma”
“There is an anti-picking mechanism installed in the room’s locks.”
“Duplicating the keys is difficult, so make sure you don’t lose yours.”
“There is a shower installed in every room. Please note that during Night Time no water comes out.”
“Additionally, only the shower rooms in girls’ rooms can be locked.”
“Finally, I have prepared a small present for you.”
“In girls’ rooms, you’ll find a sewing kit,”
“And in the boys’, a manly tool set.”
“You’ll find a handy map of a human’s vital parts attached to the sewing kit, so all you girls can use the needles for full effect.”
“As for the boys, you’ll find a blow to the head with a hammer can be very effective.”
“Don’t think! Feel! Let’s enjoy!”
Me:.........
I removed the piece of paper and threw it in the garbage can. Somehow, I think I understand where I am.
3. Sleeping is only permitted in the personal rooms prepared for you at the dormitory area. Anyone intentionally falling asleep elsewhere will be punished.
This is... my room in the dormitory area.
Someone probably carried me over here while I was unconscious.
Now that my first question is answered, the next problem is...
Me:Where is... everyone else?
There's only one way out, gotta find everyone....and fast!
Sayaka: Excuse me... Can I say something? This sixth rule... what do you think it means?
6. A “culprit” who kills a fellow student will graduate the school. However, they must not let any other student know they are the culprit.
