Chapter 153 I believe you will make the right decision...
Ultimate High School Level, Mutual Killing, Monokuma...
This really is "that one," isn't it?
Looking at these settings, which were very similar to some of the future that Hyuga Hajime had once described, Tsukino and Chiya couldn't help but mentally complain.
—This kind of "game" really seems to prefer targeting the Ultimate High School Level.
Although they were initially confused, Tsukino and Chiya now had a general understanding of the situation. It seemed that Aurora had transported him to a space that projected the "past." Everything happening here was something that had happened in the past.
and……
He had already confirmed it. Although he had been with Ouma Kokichi and Higashigo Mimi initially, the three of them seemed to have separated now. They must have separated… Tsukino and Chiya didn't believe that Ouma Kokichi was currently with Higashigo Mimi somewhere else. He was more inclined to believe that the three of them had been taken to different places.
What kind of situation are they facing? Surely the three of them aren't looking back at each other's past? What kind of twisted sense of humor is that?
Tsukino and Chiya didn't think that what they were seeing was purely coincidental; it must have been Aurora's deliberate arrangement.
After completely consuming that unknown puppet, Aurora's control over her power was indeed more precise and stable than before.
That's truly an incredible power.
Tsukino and Chiya thought to themselves.
At this moment, the doll with the name "Monokuma" that perfectly matches its appearance is interacting with several dolls that seem to be its children. Tsukino and Chiya are not very interested in this. Anyway, they are just talking nonsense, so it doesn't matter if they don't pay much attention.
He had already heard about the premise of them killing each other. So, more than that, what Tsukino and Chiya cared about was...
There were about a dozen teenagers of similar age present. The number wasn't particularly large, but when they gathered together, it was still quite dazzling—especially since many of them had very distinctive personalities just by looking at them.
Blending into this group of people, Wang Ma Xiaoji, who currently only appears to have a baby face, doesn't seem so unique at first glance. Even his straitjacket, which would inevitably attract attention if worn outside, doesn't seem particularly special compared to some of the others.
Even Tsukino and Chiya, who managed to blend in carrying just a bag, stood out rather awkwardly because of their simple and unpretentious attire. And among this group of highly individualistic people, the one who truly stood out was…
It's you, robot!
Although… when they actually saw the robot that called itself "Machine Hope," Tsukino and Chiya couldn't help but take a few more glances at it. At the same time, they instantly connected some of Ohma Shokichi's past remarks about robots with this "Ultimate Robot."
So it was you, kid.
Indeed, based on Tsukino and Chiya's deductions, Ohma Kokichi is the type of person who would be interested in this kind of robot... He just likes novel things.
After satisfying their curiosity with a few glances, Tsukino and Chiya didn't focus their attention on anyone else. He subconsciously looked at the familiar purple figure, but without much enthusiasm.
It wasn't that he wasn't interested in Ouma Kokichi's past. It was just that the past was the past, something that had already happened. He was looking at this scene from the past, but he wouldn't forget what he was facing in the present... He couldn't see behind him, but the marks were definitely still there.
Just as he had suspected, witnessing Ouma Koki's past at this moment was likely a deliberate arrangement by Aurora. But what was her purpose?
Tsukino and Chiya first ruled out the two possibilities of "good intentions" and "having nothing better to do." They knew very well that, given the doll's personality, every decision it made would only be driven by malice towards humanity.
So, behind this seemingly simple revelation of her past experiences... what is Aurora's true purpose? What outcome does she want to achieve?
...Given the current situation, is it really just a matter of taking it one step at a time? Should we just follow the old ways step by step? Humanity still seems insignificant in the face of supernatural forces, and the only one among the three with powerful superpowers has also become separated from the others.
Tsukino and Chiya thought of the backpack they were carrying, which contained items that might be able to break the deadlock. However, putting aside the fact that he hadn't yet determined exactly where Aurora's weakness lay, the puppet would first need to appear in order to attack it.
So you were a little too impatient after all?
Tsukino and Chiya thought to themselves, although sudden separations weren't uncommon, this time they were facing Aurora, whose power might far surpass their previous opponents. Higashigo Miya was a formidable Calamity User, and they possessed a Spirit Tool, but Ohma Kokichi… so were they becoming impatient?
That won't do. Perhaps Ouma Kokichi himself is even calmer than I am right now.
After realizing their emotional issues, Tsukino and Chiya quickly regained their composure. They understood that being anxious was pointless, so they decided to calmly observe what Aurora was up to.
And it was at this time—
"how are you feeling?"
Such a sound suddenly appeared behind us.
Tsukino and Chiya recognized the voice and turned around.
It was Aurora, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The doll had several terrifying cracks on its face, but after seeing its horrifying appearance not long ago, its current state wasn't so bad.
The others present seemed oblivious to Tsukino and Chiya, just as they hadn't noticed Aurora. This was understandable, as those people belonged to the past, while Tsukino, Chiya, and Aurora belonged to the present.
It would surprise Tsukino and Chiya if those from the past suddenly reacted to the two of them... because it would mean that Aurora's power had reached a terrifying level.
"What do you mean?" Tsukino and Chiya asked.
He had no immediate plans to make a move against the puppet in front of him; now was not a good time, and its sudden appearance was by no means simple.
What I mean is...
Aurora explained it in more detail this time. If Tsukino and Chiya hadn't already known its true nature, they might have been deceived by its current good-natured demeanor.
What does it feel like to see the past of someone important?
Tsukino and Chiya did not answer, and Aurora did not seem to really expect a reply, continuing to talk on her own.
"Don't worry, there's no conspiracy here, only the facts."
The doll slowly raised its hand and placed it on its chest, where its heart was located... even though the doll didn't have a heart.
"Everything I'm showing you actually happened. After you've seen it all, I'll give you a choice."
"I believe you will make the right choice."
After uttering these words, which still sound somewhat cryptic, Aurora vanished again.
"..." Tsukino and Chiya remained silent, realizing something from Aurora's words. He roughly knew what Aurora wanted.
He said nothing, but turned back to look at the most familiar figure among the group of young men and women, as if nothing had happened.
