Chapter 5 - Chapter 1: Between Happiness and Sadness (Class Trial + Execution)

I looked at the door when we entered this room, I looked all around me, and they were just waiting and standing silently, I still didn't believe it! One of us could be the killer. "Hey, Dan?" I looked at Haruto, "what happened in there, please stay strong" I looked at Haruto's face and he smiled at me, "can I ask you something?" He just nodded, "what are you hiding?" Haruto looked at me in the eyes "I'm not hiding something Dan" no, you do hide something! I can feel it. "Then, you can answer this question.." I felt this room start shaking and fly? Do we in a pod or something?

Haruto hugged me, "don't worry, I catch you" I know it sounds cliche but, really. I felt something bad would happen to him. "Dan, can you do me a favor?" I looked at his face, "after this trial, I want you to keep strong" I looked at his eyes and my gut told me that something will happen to him. "What about you, Haruto? Will you keep your promise?" Haruto looked at me and he gave me a smile. "we'll see it later, I'm afraid I can't keep my promise to you" suddenly the pod stopped and the door opened.

"Shall we?" I just nodded and I saw Monokuma already sitting on his throne "welcome to your first class trial" Monokuma approaches us and he brings us a bottle of water and a bucket of... snack? "I want everyone here to keep hydrated if I do not take care of my students and let them die. It's against the rules and... I'm preparing a snack for you guys too. Because it's gonna be a long night" Monokuma gives us a bottle and a bucket of Doritos? So, our headmaster is a fan of Doritos. I admit our headmaster is sweet besides he is a lunatic "Let's start, shall we? Please stand at your podium with your name on it" I walked to the podium and I saw Haruto speaking with Saichi.

Monokuma sat on his throne "so, this first-class trial..." I pointed my finger directly to Saichi, "It's him!" Everyone looked at Saichi, "Me!? Why do you accuse me of killing Arthur?" Haruto just watches me silently, "why were you running then?" Saichi looks nervous. "I've not killed Arthur okay" I looked at everyone, "Tsumiko, you said that everyone except me, Saichi, and Haruto in the dining hall right?" Tsumiko nodded. "Wait, that could be one of us?" I nodded. I looked at Saichi and Haruto.

"Okay, can I ask you something, Dan?" I nodded and looked at Saiko, "where were you?" I scratch my hair, "I'm in my room and I'm not moving a single inch" Saiko just nodded and looked at Haruto and Saichi, "so both of you, where were you?" Haruto just gives a sigh "look Saiko, I saw you walked in the hallway right? On my way to the admin. I was waiting for my little prince" now everyone looked at Saichi "where were you Saichi?" Saichi starts to look nervous and it's weird, I felt nothing, but when I looked at Haruto. I knew he knew something.

"So, I can confirm that the rest of us except you, Haruto, and Dan. Aoi and Miru cooking in the kitchen" Miru nodded "I want to ask you something, Saichi" Saichi looked at Saiko, "look, I'm not the killer okay, it's Haruto!" Haruto gives Saichi a furrowed eyes. "Do you have proof? If I killed Arthur, do you have proof, Saichi?" Saichi growled, "just vote him!" Yashiro starts to make me pissed, "not now, Yashiro. If you are wrong, you can make all of us got killed. Including him" I looked at everyone and they started making their statement "stop there Tsumiko" suddenly everyone stopped and looked at me.

"What you said earlier?" Tsumiko looked at me with "the note and handwriting?" I give Monokuma the scrap paper that I found in Arthur's pocket, "so I found this too" Haruto gives the paper, and Monokuma combined it, "it matches!" Monokuma handed me the note, "Let's meet at my room, Arthur" I looked at Saichi and Haruto. "So, which one from you met Arthur? It sounds like Arthur wants to meet one of you, it's the killer" Saichi looked at me with his furrowed eyes, "why are you keep accusing me?" Aoi touched my shoulders and shook her head.

"If you are in the real court, you can't tell a single lie from the jury and judge, Saichi. You know that" I looked at Aoi and she looks like a real Attorney now, "so, if you.. said you aren't the killer, where were you at the time Arthur went missing? Can you answer that, Saichi?" Saichi gulped his own saliva. "Okay, I met Arthur. But when I left he was still breathing" Aoi looked at me, "so how about you, Haruto?" Haruto pointed at himself, "do you get the note?" Haruto nodded, "but, I have an appointment right? I'm waiting for Dan, but he never showed up" I give him a chuckle.

"If we circled around like this, we never found out the killer" I pat Aoi's shoulder and give her a smile, "It's okay" I took a deep breath, "so, why Arthur wants to meet with both of you?" Kento raised his finger, "wait, I remember that Arthur had an argument with Saichi and Haruto at the storage" I looked at Haruto, "can you tell me now?" Haruto gives a sigh "okay, we... found out the traitor is" I'm starting confused, "it's that true Monokuma?" Monokuma just nodded, "I wanted to make it a surprise for you all but, Haruto already gave you all the spoiler" I looked at Haruto.

"No, I won't say the name" I give a sigh, "so how does Arthur know?" Saichi looked at Haruto silently, "maybe Arthur accidentally eavesdropping on our conversations" I nodded and I felt something on Haruto face, "so let's talk about the murder weapon" I take out the murder weapon and present it, "I found it at the trash can at Arthur's room" I looked at Aoi and, "so there the knife is" I looked at Aoi confused, "what do you mean?" I looked at my surroundings again and they made their own statement.

"Stop there" I pointed at a girl who wore gloves "oh, you haven't known my name yet" I scratch my hair, "I'm Nakoyama, the Ultimate blacksmith" I just nodded, "so you said, that the knife is missing? How do you know?" Nakoyama scratches her hair, "umm.. I want to make tea, I thought Aoi or Miru used it" I looked at Aoi. '' Look, we're cooking in the kitchen, remember?" I nodded "do you guys notice that the knife is missing?" Aoi shook her head, "no, because we are chopping meat that night" I looked at Haruto and Saichi. "I'm not the one who stole it" Haruto just wiped his sweat, "me neither" all of us looked at Saichi "how about you, Saichi?" Saichi shook his head.

"Wait, I remember something. I saw Arthur before he was missing" I looked at Kaede, "I looked Arthur he headed to the kitchen before everyone at the dining hall" I nodded, "just to make sure" I opened the bottle and drink the water, Monokuma was right, it's gonna be a long night "Monokuma can I asked you to give Saichi and Haruto a paper and a pencil? I want to make sure something" Monokuma nodded, "so, the note, we don't know who the one sent it right?" Monokuma gives Haruto and Saichi the paper. "What about you, Dan? Why did I not take the test?" I just rolled my eyeballs, "look I have nothing to do with it okay? I do not receive any note from him because I don't know what your problem is, except my family picture from Monokuma. Besides, I'm not getting out of my room for hours" Saichi seems to look upset.

"Okay, please present it to the court" I looked and it's not matched with this note handwriting, "so Arthur slips it on your room or gives you to a person?" Saichi looked at me, "he gives the note to us" Hauto nodded to agree, "so I don't know if Arthur wants to kill us" I looked at Yashiko, "then what? Arthur suicide?" I felt I was missing something. I look around my surroundings and listen to their own argument "stop there, Nakoyama" Nakoyama looked at me.

"In the rules said, you can't lock picking the door right?" Nakoyama nodded, "Arthur must be expecting from two of you to come. but..." I Scratch my chin "what if, Arthur, not expecting one of you and he has a reason to kill one of you?" So I took it out and presented it to the court, "I found this, and this sleeve from...." I looked at Haruto, "it's.... that you?" Haruto just gives a sigh, "why you accuse me, Dan?" I closed my eyes and I took a deep breath. "The only person who uses white cloth is Haruto Kanaka" Haruto smiled and nodded.

"I thought you will keep accusing Saichi, Dan" Hauto looked at me, "Ha-Haruto?" Haruto gives a sigh, "it's an accident" Yashiko wants to punch Haruto but Nakamura holds his body, "Accident you said!?" I furrowed my eyes "can you just, listen? I believe him!" Aoi pat my shoulders. I looked at Haruto, "Haruto... why did you kill Arthur?" Haruto approached me and looked at me with his teary eyes, "I'm at the admin it's right, I'm waiting for you. Suddenly Saichi passes me a note, he said Arthur wanted to meet me" I looked at Saichi, "so why did he tell us that.." Haruto kissed my lip, "shut up! I haven't finished yet" he cried.

"So, I approached Arthur in his room. He thought I'm Saichi so he attacked me. And I... fought back, and you know what happened next I moved the body at the main hall, I know everybody at the dining hall that time. So I ran to my room and cleaned up the blood, changed my clothes, and had dinner with you" I just looked at his eyes, "it's that true Monokuma?" Monokuma nodded. Yashiko punched Saichi and I looked at Haruto.

"Haruto..." I hugged him tightly and cried "you should finish it, Dan" Haruto held my shoulders, "hey Dan Furukawa! Looked at me now!" I looked at his teary eye "I..." I'm still waiting for him to continue his words. "I hope you guys can find a way out" I looked at Haruto's eyes, "I love you, Dan" I hugged him tightly and cried, "you should do this, Dan" Haruto hold my hand tightly, "for sake of our hope, okay?" I nodded.

Act 1

After the announcement from Monokuma, The Culprit and Saichi have an argument about who the traitor is. But, accidentally Arthur eavesdropped on what you two were talking about. But, Kento saw Saichi, Arthur, and The Culprit debate in the storage room. Arthur leaves and goes to his room.

Act 2

Arthur makes a plan to get rid of Saichi and he makes the note for Saichi, and he passes it to Saichi himself. Arthur walked his way to the kitchen and stole the knife and got back to his room. So, Saichi approached The Culprit who was waiting for me in the admin room. And he told The Culprit to meet Arthur in his room.

Act 3

The Culprit without any suspicion with Saichi, walked his way to Arthur's room. The Culprit opened the door and thought no one was there, so The Culprit comes in and Arthur starts to attack him. Arthur accidentally attacks The Culprit because he thought that Saichi eats his bait. Arthur who already caught red-handed, tried to kill The Culprit but The Culprit fought back and accidentally killed Arthur.

Act 4

The Culprit knows if he already killed Arthur and he tries to Arthur not to be found, so he takes off his doctor coat and he forgot about his sleeves and he rushes to the main hall and The Culprit sat Arthur's lifeless body on the chair and then run to his room to clean up himself and he approaches me.

"The Culprit that I mean is you, Haruto Kanaka? Is that right?" I looked at his teary eyes and nodded, "so.." I shook my head "no... no.... please. DON'T LEAVE ME" Haruto shook his head and wiped out my tears, "Dan, please... this the only way you can get out of here okay? I..." I looked at his eyes, "I'm sorry to break our promise" I kissed his lips for the last time before he is executed. "Monokuma please...." Monokuma shook his head. "No, no.. rules the rules" I looked at Haruto, "I'll be fine" Haruto looked at Aoi.

"Can you keep an eye on my little prince?" Aoi nodded and she pats my shoulders. "Vote for me, I'm the killer" everyone votes for Haruto, except me. I haven't voted yet, "hey Dan? What's wrong?" I looked at Haruto, "I won't..." Haruto holds my hand and he gives me a smile "I love you, Dan Kanaka. Forever" Harto passed me a ring and I looked at it. "Take care of that okay?" I looked at the ring. "Don't you lose it or I will haunt you" I laughed and I put it on my right finger ring. it fits.

Monokuma just waited and looked at me, "I just want to give this, this is from him. Before he went to his room, he called me and he handed me this" I looked at his wallet.

"So, you can take a rest now" I looked at Monokuma, "why did you do this?" Monokuma looked at me, "you seem a good guy, please..." Monokuma suddenly disappears "Dan..." I looked at his portrait, let's go back to our room. I want to sleep" I walked to the pod. Haruto, I'm gonna miss you.
