Return, Retry, Restart...Continue? (Danganronpa V3 X Reader)

Chapter 33

Shuichi paused for a breath. "Then came the night of the magic show, after the party, our culprit, along with a few others were the last people to go back to their dorms. Tenko and Angie decided to go with Himiko into Himiko's room. The culprit knew this before they left and decided that this would be the time to activate their plan."

"So. Somehow, the culprit snuck in their contraption into Himiko's room. My guess as to when they snuck it in would be when Tenko and Angie entered Himiko's room. After Tenko had left, the invention must have had the capability to rise up and stab Himiko as she was on her bed."

You interrupted, realizing something. "Oh. That's why it took so many stabs, I bet the object had to be small. In order to be able to sneak in. The amount of space for a knife to be attatched would have been limited."

Rantaro nodded his head at your statement, "That also explains where the burn marks came from. I'm willing to bet the invention would shock you whenever you touched it. That's why Himiko kept running."

"Then... I guess the invention was also made to self destruct?" You asked, "That would explain where the black scorch mark came from."

Miu simply watched everything unfold in silence, as if she had given up.

Shuichi coughed, "As I was saying. After the invention self-destructed I presume. Himiko the victim, who was still alive, tried to crawl to the door, however died before even making it."

There was a moment of silence in grief. You saw Tenko close her eyes.

"Then the next morning, the culprit must have gone to Tenko's room and unlocked it using a device that she had built to unlock the door. Of course, this was after Tenko had already left. This unfortunately, left scratches on Tenko's doorknob. The culprit took a ribbon so that they could attempt to frame Tenko for committing the murder. So they turned back, and opened Himiko's room in the same way, leaving the same marks."

"After planting the evidence, the culprit walked away, and pretended as if nothing happened, without that careless mistake, we may have never solved this case." Shuichi finished, "That's the whole story, isn't it Miu Iruma, the Ultimate Inventor."

Miu let out a sigh, "Of course, you bitches still got one thing wrong. I built the lock-picking device when I saw Tenko leave Himiko's room. I thought it was such a bright idea to frame her."

"Ha! Looks like you were wrong on that account!" Kokichi shouted. You just gave him an angry glare.

Why does this feel so different from the games though? In your mind, you couldn't help but question why things felt different. Perhaps it was because the culprit gave up? Of course, Miu had never committed a murder in the original game, so there's no telling how she would act. You almost... felt bad for her.

"Alright! Let's go!" Monokuma cheered, "The heart racing excitement as the blackened and the spotless face off! It's voting time!"

The screen on your podium displayed numerous faces, unhesitatingly, you clicked Miu's face. Huh, well look at that. I guess I finally am playing the game. The experience of actually choosing someone was something different, after all, you never played the game... only watched it. A lot of the playthroughs I watched would still jokingly pick the wrong character, I don't want to do that now though.

"Puhuhu... it seems the voting has finished! Now then, let's see the result!" Monokuma announced.

Once everyone finished voting, the screen with the list of faces appeared on the monitor. All the votes were unanimous for Miu.

"Who will be chosen as the blackened? Did you make the right choice? Or the dreadfully wrong one?"

The roulette screen once again appeared on the monitor, rolling around until finally stopping on Miu's sprite. Sounds of congratulations were heard, but no one listened as we left our podiums and gathered onto the outside.

"Well! Looks like you made the right choice! Congratulations!"

"I don't want to die!" Miu shouted. "Please, I didn't mean it. I only wanted to save my best friend."

"That was who was in your motive video?" Ryoma asked.

Miu simply nodded, "When I saw it... I was just so messed up. Then my panic when I found out that everyone else received other motive videos. I was so scared."

"So then you made a deal with Himiko to exchange motive videos?"

"Wait. What's all this about exchanging motive videos?" Monokuma asked.

The Monokubs looked visibly stressed.

"You mean, that wasn't your doing?"

"No, everyone was supposed to get their own." Monokuma said. "I guess my cute cubs messed it up huh?"

"Don't look at me! It was Monophanie! She was the one distributing them!" Monsuke shouted.

"THAT IS NOT VERY NICE MONOSUKE. MONOPHANIE'S MISTAKE IS OUR MISTAKE AS WELL." Monodam chided. Monosuke just let out a 'Hmph" and turned away.

"Well. A murder still happened so it's okay." Monokuma said.

"You mean, I only got mine cause of luck?" Miu asked. "Oh..."

"Enough Explaining! IT'S PUNISHMENT TIME!" Monokuma announced.

"No! Keebo! Save me! Please!" Miu begged. "I don't want to die."

A trapdoor appeared underneath Miu and she fell through. The rest of the cast was guided into another room where a huge bomb was hanging. Miu was strapped to a chair underneath, only her arms were still free.

A sign appeared infront of Miu's face, with the words "Cut every string, except for the one that sets off the bomb. Successfully do it and you will live."

Miu was also presented with a screwdriver, and tool wrench. She was then given a box with wires hanging out, as if she had to defuse the bomb.

Miu carefully unscrewed the box open. Being the Ultimate Inventor, she must've believed that she could defuse the bomb.

However, the second she cut one of the brightly colored wires, the bomb burst open. And a rainfall of nuts, bolts, screws, and various heavy tools fell out. Monosuke was pushed to stand near Miu as Miu was pelted by each of the items and soon enough she collapsed.

Once again the metallic smell hit your first, but as the sight cleared, you were shown exactly how devastating Miu's death was. Her entire body was bloody and bruised.

"Miu..." Keebo was the first one to speak. No one had the words to speak, although tears appeared in everyone's eyes.

"She was always so rash... but she didn't deserve to die like that...." Tsumugi cried. You suppressed your anger towards her, you couldn't reveal the fact that you knew her identity.

"Himiko..." Tenko sniffled.

You all stood around in silence. No one was willing to move. Only Rantaro was able to snap everyone out of the trance.

"Come on guys. Let's go to sleep, it's late." Rantaro answered. You all followed behind him. You went back up the elevator. Stifling a yawn, you knew that the nightmare you guys were in wouldn't end anytime soon. All you could do was continue moving forward.

*IMPORTANT*: To those of you who read the first draft, you may have noticed a slight change in the ending. Yup I got rid of the scene where the black screen appears again. Just because I didn't like it. Anyway My apologies!
