DR2 CH3 P20






  1. Super High-school Level Update #86



     Ikoroshia





     Oh, Hinata-kun. You came, just like I thought.
     Does that mean you finally noticed?
     We’re dealing with copycat murders based on the movie playing here…
     I haven’t even seen the movie yet, so I don’t really know…



     I see… Well, you’d better go see it then, hadn’t you? We’ll talk about it after.



     Hellooo?! Is anyone here?! You have a customer!



     Re: Mr. Monobear’s Lesson

     Coming! How may I be of assistance?!



     …Oh? By “customer”, did you mean Hinata-kun?
     D…Do you have a problem with that?



     Upupu… You were dead set on avoiding this movie, but it looks like you’ve come around in the end!
     Oh, I get it! You were playing hard to get! Wow, you’re good!



     Yeah, you’re a pro! You even bought a 1.5 million yen Monobear Sticker to support your act!



     …A 1.5 million yen sticker?
     I…It’s nothing…!



     It’s true! In exchange for not seeing the movie, Hinata-kun bought a 1.5 million yen sticker.
     Here, have a look!
     S…Stop it!

    Before I could react, Monobear pulled the sticker from my pocket.



     Here!



    “Sorry for being born an idiot”



     Y…You bought that? For 1.5 million?!



     Upupu… And after all that, he’s going to see the movie anyway.
     J…Just give me the damn ticket!



     Okay! Here you go!



     As it says right here on the ticket, it’s valid only today, and only for this screening!
     Oh, and it’s strictly one ticket per customer! You bastards get just one chance to watch my movie for free!



     See? I stamped it with today’s date, so no fooling around!
     Don’t worry. There’s no way I’d want to see this more than once…



     I’m off to prepare for the screening. Please hold on just a little while longer.



     Ikoroshia



     Hey, Hinata-kun… If I were you, I’d keep this ticket handy for later.
     …Huh? What for?
     Oh, you know. Just for good luck.

    Complimentary Ticket



    A complimentary ticket, issued by Monobear, to see his movie.
    Limited to one per customer. Valid only on date shown, for one screening only. 

    Please disregard the stamp jumping around on the face of the ticket.



    Sigh… I guess I’ll have to wait for Monobear to get everything ready…



    Let’s see if anything changed.



    Oh, hey… Wasn’t there something on this counter before?



    This looks like a tote bag made of hemp fabric with Monomi’s face printed on it…

    Oh? Did that catch your eye? It’s a universal tote-bag with a multitude of functions!
    It’s also a limited edition. I only have one to sell!



    If that tote bag isn’t here anymore, that means…



     Re: Mr. Monobear’s Lesson

     Oh? Have you come around on the bag, too?



     Well too bad! It’s already been sold!
     …Who bought it?



     Oh, silly you! I can’t tell you that! Did you really think I’d just reveal the culprit that easily?!



     So, it was the culprit who bought it?



     Ah. Oops!
     You did say it was a limited edition, didn’t you? That there’s only one?



     Oh, that… Well… By “limited” I maaay have meant one person instead of one bag
     …That’s not what you said back then.



     See, when you buy one you get another for free. A perfectly valid way to attract customers.
     You know? You’re starting to really get on my nerves.

    Monobear’s Testimony



    The tote bag sold at the movie theater was a limited edition, sold to just one person.
    Supposedly, when you buy one you get another for free.



     And now, please forget about my inadvertent slips of the tongue…



     …And head into the theater! The preparations are all complete!



     Upupu… I can’t wait.



     Ikoroshia



    Let’s go see this thing.





    Music stops.

    * BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ *

     Ahem… We apologize for keeping you waiting.
     Presenting world-renowned director Monobear’s cinematic masterpiece, that may or may not have made America weep…
     “The Wizard of Monomi 2.5D”

    That title isn’t very encouraging. Besides, “2.5D”? He couldn’t even go all the way?

     Please enjoy the presentation.



     Miss Monomi’s Practice Lesson





     Monobear was born in a boring old village where more people died than were being born. It was filled with boring old people living boring old lives, waiting to be forgotten forever.



    But one fateful day, an AH64 “Apache” attack helicopter on a standard training mission nearby somehow caused a hurricane…

    …And Monobear was swept up and whisked away to the Land of Monomi.





    Monobear, much to his surprise, found himself longing for his boring old hometown, and the days he would spend swindling the boring old people out of their small change.

    And so, he set off on a journey to meet The Wizard Monomi, who, it was said, could grant any wish.

    Along the way, he met some new dependable friends…



    He met a Monomi Scarecrow but found her to be lacking a brain, so he suggested to her that she commit suicide…



    …And she complied at once, hanging herself on a rope.



    He met a Monomi Lion but found her to be quite cowardly, so he pinned her to a tree with some arrows.





    He also met a Tin Monomi, but found her to have no heart, so he had her broken down for scrap.





    After these and other adventures, he finally found the wizard Monomi.

    It doesn’t really matter how, but he managed to defeat her…





    …And when he did, he took over her kingdom.





    And so, Monobear made all the boring old people into his servants, and used all their pension money to fund his wonderful life of luxury.





    And they all lived happily ever after.

     Re: Mr. Monobear’s Lesson

     Oh, aren’t movies wonderful?! Wasn’t that just an avalanche of raw emotional drama?!
     …………



     See you later at the school trial!
     Thank you for coming, and goodbye!



     Ikoroshia

     …………

    …The phrase “stunned silence” was invented for moments like this.



     …………



     I… won’t even ask if you liked it. Your face tells me everything I need to know.
     That really was the worst movie… Was it even really a “movie”?



     But… you do see what I meant earlier, right?
     Yeah…

    The way the characters in the movie were killed is similar to today’s murders…



    Mioda’s body, which I found first, was hanged with a rope, just like the scarecrow…



    And then, when we found Saionji’s body, it was taped to a pillar, much like the lion was to pinned to the tree.



     With just one more person dead, the copycat murders could have been perfected. It didn’t end up that way, though…



     Must suck to be the culprit, huh?

    Yeah, if the culprit’s goal was to complete the copycat murders, they must be fuming right now, but…

    …It’s still a mystery what they were thinking.
