everyone collapsed
Most of them were crying or had despair on their faces...even Led...
he had some tears in his eyes
the reason was simple
if the world had been destroyed then everything he did in his life became meaningless
the time he put into his life became meaningless
the work he had done for his dream became meaningless
ironically enough he wished the world in despair instead of being destroyed
with that, there is a chance...
the foundation he built
no, the family he loved
he cared (+about)
he sacrificed for...
...
'with the world being in despair there would have been a chance that they're alive
At least with that everything wouldn't have been meaningless...
Right..?'
that was his thoughts he wished the world in despair instead of being destroyed
the one who named himself Led Appy
Ironic isn't it?
upupupupupupupupup
such a despair upupupu
---------------------------
Monokuma returned every one to their places before they meet each other
The last one to return wasn't sleeping
She faked it
That one was Tsumugi Shirogane
She seems nervous, anxious, and worried about something with an annoyed tone said
"" *tck* To think someone hacked our system and entered the killing game.
Probably the hacker will search for me aka mastermind and touch me to destroy the system that controls everything""
Monokuma put both his hand in his mouth and said
""upupupu well if the hacker tried to hack it in the normal way.
the hacker will take a long time to find the true system.
It's like finding a needle in a haystack.""
Monokuma raised one hand
""The hacker thinks if he touched you he will get access to the main system and destroy it or tack over but
You will repair it immediately
The hacker needs to touch all the masterminds at the same time
and that's Me, you, Monodom, and --""
Tsumugi put her nails in her mouth like she is thinking
she said in a worried tone
""Do we have to change the scenario?
maybe killing The hacker will be enough?""
Monokuma said
""Seriously Tsumugi?
the hacker will just return the next killing game
or return and ruin everything""
Tsumugi Rubbed her hair
She was nervous, anxious
She said with a Worried tone
""Then what we will do?
I don't know...
Really I don't know...
Do you have a plan Monokuma-Sama?""
Monokuma had Sinister, Malicious, and evil Smile
""Upupupupupupupupup
simple Tsumugi
--
--""
Tsumugi had a smile on her face
Her face was like She was saved
She said with a happy tone
""That's why you add -- and removed the others monocubs
indeed you're genius Monokuma
I'm truly a plain Mastermind compared to you""
Tsumugi had a troubled face And said in a questioning tone
""But I don't understand something
I think the hacker could just destroy everything
why?""
Monokuma raised one hand
""If I need to take a guess probably
the hacker raised by -- and his family name is--""
Tsumugi took a step back and said with a frightened tone
""That is why the hacker doesn't want to destroy the system
do you think -- helped them? ""
Monokuma said
""well maybe or maybe not
I don't have any information about the outside world
but if the hacker is -- --
then his father is enough to help him""
Tsumugi realized
she smiled
The smile was evil, Sinister, and Malicious
her face was little red
she was Excited
""hahaha
we will make -- fall in despair ""
""Upupupupupupupupup""
------------------------
"I want to talk with you about some Memories of mine, It may or may not be Important?
Maybe I Just want relief myself a little bit, Who knows really?"
A little boy was running so fast in a narrow slum
It seems the boy was around 8 to 10 year
He was wearing a hoodie
He was covering his face with his mask and his hoodie, there were even sunglasses to cover his eyes
He was holding some bags
The little fat man was chasing after the boy
He was around the middle of his 30s maybe last Actually
The guy was exhausted
His face had an angry expression
He said with an angry tone
""Re-Return it...thief
return w-what you stole""
The boy Turns around at the end of the slum
The guy was a little far from him when he reached the end of it
He saw a huge street
Well it was huge compared to the slum
The slum barley could take one bicycle
The street could take four cars each car have a comfortable distance between them
The Guy looked around
He found a boy wearing the same hoodie on the other side
sitting in chair
The boy was in front of the bookshop
The guy went to the other side of the road
The guy put his hand on the boy's shoulder
The guy had a satisfied smile and said with a tired tone
""I-I caught you""
The boy took off his hoodie
The boy had a red eye on the left and a blue eye on the right
He had white hair with some purple tresses
The Boy had a soft smile and said with a polite tone
""Hello.
it seems you are tired
Is there something you want sir?""
The guy was surprised and said in a questioning tone
""Didn't you steal something from me?
Why are you so calm like you didn't do any shit?""
suddenly an old man comes from the bookshop
the old man said with a smile
""Haha you won so here's your strawberry gums
hm?
Do you know this guy Led?""
The boy said with a smile
""I don't think or remember at least
what do you want sir?""
The guy was confused and said
""Was this boy always with you?
There was a kid that stole something from me and he had the same hoodie ""
The old man said
""Hmm
Well, I left him for 5 min to bring strawberry(+gums) so I don't believe he has a chance to steal something""
The guy was annoyed but said with a calm yet you feel his tone was annoyed
""Do you have proof of that?
Cause I'm sure he had the same hoodie""
The old man said
""Well I think there is a close camera that records this place
Well if you were afraid he would run away or something
I(me*) and him will go with you to that place and ask them for the recorded video""
The guy said
""Sure""
The old man walked a little and stop in the 'close story to him'(store next to him*) and said in a loud voice
""Hey Senji!""
The Senji guy come(came*) and said
""What old man?""
The old man said
""Could you look after my bookshop""
Senji said
""Sure oldman""
The old man said
""Shall we go?""
They went and asked for the recorded video
They found Led sitting All the time, they didn't find the other boy
The guy
""fuck...""
The old man
""Try not to curse in front of kids""
The guy
""I want the money back...""
Led said
""I suggest asking the locals for help more
well calling the police will help but finding someone or something I believe will help more""
The old man said
""if you want I could have your number and see what I can do for you""
The guy sighed and said
""Well hope I found the money
I will give you my number
I will still look around""
The guy went
The old man and Led return to the story(store*) and sit(sat*) on the chair
the old man
""Do you know anything about this Led?""
Led said
""Why?
I sat here the whole time and done nothing toward to him""
The old man
""you didn't do anything by yourself
but you helped by wearing the same hoodie and staying here
*sigh*
I could adopt you Led if ' if only you would '
leave the street life and live with me""
Led said
""I can't do that grandpa
they need me and I don't wanna trouble you
but I promise you one day I will accept your proposal and become your grandchild""
The old man
""You will be welcomed always Led ""
Led said
""can I have a copy of His number""
The old man
""Sure but why?""
Led said with a little smile
""To return the favor one day""
The old man gave Led a small piece of paper had a number on it
Led said with a smile
""Thanks""
Led left the old man
in abandoned factory
Led was there
Led yelled
""I'm here.
Led Appy is here""
A group of children appeared
it seems there ages were between 5 to 12 years
maybe more
a boy walked to Led
he had the same hoodie
Led said
""Mission accomplished.
Thanks for the hard work Ryoko""
Ryoko said with a half smile
""Well indeed it was
but you and Hana made my escape route easy
Truly you and Hana are amazing
You analyzed most of the people who had more money and poor physical strength In the bank
Then Hana made the strategy depending on that
where he will go and the roads the guy will take
with that you made me stay in the safest place to steal, run, and head near towards Led
I and Led will have the same hoodie
Led will stay in place with the camera
and while I target The guy you choose
That will make him waste time with Led and can't do anything to him
with all of that, I will run peacefully with money""
Led said
""Truly Hana is young but Very smart ""
Ryoko said
""I bet you both will be ultimates""
Led said with a smile
""keke
I wish""
The girl was running toward Led
She seems to be 5 to 7 years old
She hugged Led
and said with a smile
""Welcome back Led""
Ryoko said with a disappointed face
""You didn't welcome me with a smile at all
'what's with the differentiation between us Hana?""
Hana said with a warm smile but(while*) looking toward Led
""Don't worry 'I only ' hug Led
he is the best!""
Led laughed and said
""keke
Don't bully others Hana that's not cool.
anyway I think with this money we could start small businesses and have some food for a few days
Well I will talk with grandpa to help me
I think he cares about me and doesn't want to use me or something like that""
Ryoko said
""Should I give you some money for that or what do I do exactly now?
I will listen to you""
Little boy
it seems his age was around 6 to 8
said with a serious face
""Why do you trust him that much Ryoko?
His plan and Hana were good and all but you are the older one""
Ryoko said
""Led is a collective and intelligent person
I'm the older but I see Led is more fit to be a leader than me
Weirdly, he is 7 years old, Hana is 5 years old and I'm 11 years old ""
the boy was about to say something but
Led interrupted him and said
""At least it's wise to see what my plans are
I will tell you when I come back
I need to go back to grandpa and talk to him before he closes his bookshop
and Don't worry Tod
I understand what you are worried about
I will go guys see you later ""
Led tried to make Hana let go of him
led with a hesitant smile
""Could you let go of me, Hana?
Keke.""
Hana had a big smile and said
""No I will come with you""
Ryoko smiled a little and said
""Led take her
I don't see the harm in doing so
or do you wish to go alone?""
Led sighed and said
""Fine
Let's go Hana""
Led and Hana left the factory
Led put Strawberry gum in his mouth and said with a calm face
""So what do you want Hana""
Hana said with a Curious tone and face
""Hmmm
Why do you eat strawberry gums?
I feel you eat it in a specific situation
Why do you ask for strawberry gums only?""
Led said with a little troubled face and a calm tone
""Specific situation you say
You are just overthinking Hana
I ask for it cause I love it
Nothing more nothing less""
Hana smiled and her eyebrows and face were sarcastic
She said with a sarcastic tone
""Do you take me as child Led?
Do you think I will take the sweet words and shut it like a child?""
Led sighed and said
""No, but you should know with your intelligence that I will not answer that question
you are smart like me""
Hana said
""Hmmm
I tried to guess but I didn't know completely the "why"
I know it makes you think faster not calmer""
Led said with a smile
""Good guess""
Both of his eyes glow
""Indeed it makes me think faster and have more plans""
Hana said
""I bet there is more hmmm""
Led said
"
"Who knows ~""
