Chapter 6 - Chapter 2: Friendship and Betrayal (Daily life)

I woke up and I felt this headache again, "ugh.." Monokuma suddenly appeared and I looked at him, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Monokuma just staring at me "I want to check your conditions, just it. If you need anything?" Why is he so kind to us? No, I shouldn't fall into his trap. "No, thanks" Monokuma suddenly gives me an envelope? "You haven't read the letter right?" I nodded. "I wonder, why are you so kind? Why did you do this? If you want to kill us why? Why do you not kill us by yourself? Why did you do this to us?" Monokuma just sighed.

"You should get going, Dan" I looked at this bear "if you want to know why. You should find the answer right? I know you will find it soon" I looked at the bear and he smiled at me? I don't think it's a smile, "if you need anything, you can call me okay?" I just nodded. "I want to ask you something" he looked at me "who are you?" Monokuma disappeared without a single word, I felt... I knew him for a long time. It's just...

*knock.. knock...

I walked to the door while I'm holding Haruto's last words, and opened the door, "Dan, are you okay?" I let Aoi come into my room and she sat on my bed, "it's tidy" I just gave her a warm smile, "are you okay?" I just nodded, "I'm sorry, I just need time" Aoi sighed and looked at me, "so, what do you want?" Aoi approaches me and kisses my lips.

I did not reply to her kiss but, I pushed her shoulders and I looked at her eyes, "Dan, I love you" I just shook my head "no you don't" Aoi looked at my eyes, "why?" I just looked at her eyes silently and I gave a sigh. "I love Haruto, I'm sorry" Aoi looked at my eyes "it's okay, Dan" I looked at her, she's not okay. Aoi walked past me and I heard blam. I should take a bath and... I looked at this envelope. I haven't read it, I looked at this ring and smiled.

"Haruto... I miss you. I know, you wouldn't do that, I'm sorry I can't protect you" I kissed the ring. I sat on my bed and opened the envelope and took out a piece of paper, and... it's not a letter? What is this? I opened this wallet and I took a look at it. "This..." so where is she? Is she on this ship with us? Why is she hiding? Should I tell them? I just shook my head. You should Dan! Because they are your friends. You should trust them. I put the wallet on the bed and I go to the bathroom to take shower.

.....

"Monokuma?" She closed the door and walked "why you did that, stupid!?" She sighed and broke one of the robots guarding the second hall, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? THAT'S EXPENSIVE YOU DUMB" She just looked at Monokuma with her flat face, "It's from my money, you can take over but. Why did you do this to me?" Monokuma just looked at her, "why haven't you killed me yet? Just let them go, please. You can...." Monokuma punched her face.

"Just shut up okay! You don't know anything" she rubs her left eye and stands up "I know, you did this because of me, right?" Monokuma just looked at her silently "Am I right, Monokuma?" Monokuma suddenly disappeared and she just sighed, she put her hands in her jeans pocket and walked to the second hall.

.....

It's refreshing. I walked over to my closet and I chose this t-shirt, surprisingly it's fit! "Well, I can't walk over like this" I put on my uniform pants and I picked my jacket "finished" I walked towards my bed and I looked at the wallet again, this is the 17th student? Why just 16 of us? Where was she?" I put the wallet in my drawer and I wear my socks and shoes. "I don't know that I'm handsome" I just looked at this ring. "Haruto, I got your message, thank you for believing in me. I'm sorry I can't protect you" I walked through the door and I saw Hanabi.

"Hey" Hanabi looked at me cautiously, "where have you been? I heard that Monokuma grounded you?" Hanabi gives a sigh, "I'm sorry about that day" I give her a warm smile and nodded "It's okay, Hanabi" Hanabi just give a sighed "everyone waiting for you, Dan" I followed Hanabi to the dining room, "Hanabi" she glanced at me "I'm sorry about Haruto" I nodded, "can I asking you a favor, Dan?" I looked at Hanabi, "I looked suspicious on Saichi, so do you want to not tell them this?" I nodded, Hanabi opened the door and I saw everyone already gathered. "What makes you take so long, Dan? I'm starving" I just chuckled and sat next to Haruto's chair.

I looked at Arthur's and Haruto's chairs, "Capt? Are you okay?" I looked at Saiko and nodded, "you should be the captain Saiko" Saiko shook his head. "Here we go" I looked at Aoi and Miru who prepared the food, "Nakamura, it's not for you!" Miru gave me the plate and I looked at Aoi, it's something that makes me feel uncomfortable. I ate my breakfast and I saw everyone but, where is Saichi? "Hey, guy? Where is Saichi?" Kento just sighed, "I don't know, and I won't be his friend again. What he did do Haruto is unbelievable" Kento right, but he is a human, "you shouldn't do that, Kento. He just likes us" I looked at everyone.

"So, what do we do next? And who the hell the traitor is?" I looked at Haruto's empty chair. "I have something to tell you" I took a deep breath, "17th student on this ship" I looked at everyone's faces "what? Where is she?" I just scratched my hair, "I.. don't know, Yashiro, I think she is still in this ship" I think.. Did I make a mistake? "Where you got this information, Dan?" I looked at Tsumiko, "I get it from Haruto's message. Monokuma gives me that" Hanabi just gives me a sigh, "where is the wallet?" Hanabi looked at me, "at my room" Hanabi just nodded.

"So, about who is the traitor, right?" I nodded, "I don't think..." Suddenly I felt this ship vibrating, "wh-what's going on?" I ran to the windows and looked at another... ship? It's a rescue? "SHIP!" I hold Kento's back collar "what?" I shook my head, "we should be careful okay? We don't know if that ship is one of Monokuma's trap" Saiko nodded, "Dan was right, Kento. We just can't assume we will get rescue" I looked at Aoi who was standing beside Saiko.

"So, what do you choose, Dan?" I looked at everyone's face, "Let's search for the clue, shall we? I think we need some little supplies to get there because we just can't assume that the ship is empty and safe. And besides that, we are trapped in space, and we are all human" I looked at everyone and they nodded. "So, what are we waiting for?" We all headed to the new ship to search for a clue.

"Dan, can I talk to you for a second?" I looked at Saiko, I think it's important. Ii approaches Saiko, "I think I know who the traitor is" I look at everyone, "keep it secret, don't say anything yet. We haven't a proof" Saiko nodded. "Let's head to the new ship" I walked and opened the dining hall door.
