(Disclaimer: This chapter mentions Kodaka, creator of Danganronpa, associated with murder. I do not hold any grudges on him, I have never met him and I have zero intentions of threatening his life)

Shuichi almost went insane. He's actually seeing the two survivors of Season 49 up close.
"OH MY GOD! It's Kira Genjitsu, Ultimate Escape Artist and the other survivor of Season 49!"

Kira didn't answer, she and Ketsueki had a staredown but eventually Ketsueki snatched back her wrist Kira was gripping tightly.

"You finally showed up Kira, about time! Our mission is due soon!" Ketsueki told her, slipping the knife back in her pocket and then slinging her arm on Kira's shoulder, "Not to mention I missed you,"

"Ah yes! The most popular ship in Season 49!" Tsumugi fangirled, "You guys don't know how popular 'Ketsueki x Kira' is!"

"Nah, we're just really close partners in crime," Ketsueki waved her off, "Nothing got to do with that shit thing of love,"

"Riiiiiiiight, friends," Kokichi snickered

"One more word out of your mouth and cut your fucking tongue out, you little shit," Ketsueki gave him a terrifying smile

"Calm down Ketsueki. You know that if you harm them, Kodaka won't cover up your murders anymore," Kira told her

"W-wait, you still murder people?" Tenko stuttered

"Fuck yeah! I go on my little trips at least 20 times a week! Ha! It brings some joy into this life of a winner I have!" Ketsueki laughed, "Kodaka also made a deal that he will cover up all my murders because he's actually trying to restrain me and turn me into his little weapon. That piece of shit! I just wanna slowly tear him limb to limb,"

"So, if you're the Ultimate Murderer, how comes you never killed anyone in your season?" Rantaro asked her

"Well if your little brain can't remember, Genosider Syo was a serial killer and she didn't die. But the only reason I didn't kill was that Kira would have easily found me out and that it would be such a shame if I died in an execution. Sure, I'm sure it was be fucking spectacular but it would be such a shame if I died,"

"Ketsueki was just afraid of me catching her out," Kira smirked at her

"Oh shut the fuck up Kira. The only reason you actually managed to find out all the murders was because I helped you!" Ketsueki crossed her arms but she was grinning widely.

"Let me just say that you both played your roles so well!" Tsumugi told them, "Kira was a great protag and Ketsueki perfectly played the role of the antagonist and sidekick!"

"Hey, what can I say? I like to cause trouble and help Kira out,"

"And I bet you're a great pair!"

"You're right. When it comes down to missions, we're the best weapon anyone can have. Ketsueki plays attack while I play defense,"

"Oh fuck yeah! I'm the one who's always attacking at the front line while Kira stays behind to make sure we're not injured badly!"

"Which creates the perfect duo," Tsuki said, "Having one person as offense and another as defense is the best tactic anyone can have. An escape artist and a murderer, it's a perfect match,"

"See? This girl gets it!" Ketsueki smiled, "Huh, you look like a fighter yourself, I like it!"

"If any of you want, we can help train you in our labs," Kira offered, "Because we have the whole floor to ourselves which means we also have extra space. On our floor, we have our dormitories, our separate labs and then a training room we use to practice fighting in,"

"That's. So. Cool!" Maki squealed, "If I become a winner, I wanna have a floor like this!"

"Might wanna cross the bridge before you think about the other side, little one," Ketsueki chuckled

Suddenly, an alarm went off. Ketsueki and Kira looked at the watched on their wrists which was the source of the alarm. They both had grave looks on their faces but Ketsueki grinned.

"Told ya our mission was due soon!" Ketsueki took out a knife in each hand and sharpened them

"Well I'm here now so it doesn't matter," Kira replied, checking the contents in her brown bag

"Wait, what's going on?" Kaede asked them

"We have to go on a mission now," Kira told her

"Well see you fuckers later!" Ketsueki shouted as the two girls ran to the staircase

"Woah, I actually can't believe we met Ketsueki and Kira, the winners of Season 49," Tori admitted as everyone retreated back into the lift

"I know right?! This is fucking awesome!" Shuichi yelled, "This is a dream come true!"

"Keep your voice down!" Angie told him

"Guys, what floor are we going to again?" Kiibo calmly asked as the floor ascended but it only took a second before the doors opened

"Totally beats me," Korekiyo stepped out

"Well I guess we're gonna figure it out!" Himiko ran out as well

Everyone began exploring the floor, there wasn't much at first but eventually they could hear a faint piano and singing, creating an amazing harmony.

"Oh, I think I know what floor this is," Tori told the others

"It's coming from here," Tsuki pointed at a slightly ajar door a few meters away.

Kaito nudged the door open, revealing a room full of musical instruments scattered everywhere. Inside, there were two girls. One was the one creating the music, she sat down on a piano stool and gracefully played the keys and sang whilst the other one was sitting not so far away from the piano, she was scribbling something in a notebook.

The girl at the piano had long pink hair, tied into two buns on top of her head and bright blue eyes. She wore a white crop shirt with off the shoulder sleeves that showed her stomach and blue denim shorts. She had white socks and white Vans on as well as a choker with a musical note charm and hoop earrings. She was 5'7 but she looked a bit younger than Ketsueki and Kira.

The other girl honestly looked like she was 11. She had really long blue hair tied up in pigtails, probably inspired by the vocaloid icon Miku Hatsune. She had pink eyes and wore fake cat ears and tail. Her outfit consisted of a purple jumper dress with really long sleeves that covered her hands and a pink skirt alongside white socks and brown ankle boots. She was 4'6 which also adds to her young appearance.

The girl with the cat ears was the first to notice the soon to be 53rd cast.

"Oh! Konichiwa! We have visitors!" She jumped up in excitement, her cat ears lighting up as well

"Damn it! You guys ruined my performance!" The pink haired girl sighed loudly, stopping her music

"Well I'm so sorry we just happened to barge in," Angie sarcastically said

"Watch your mouth you little brat!" She snapped back at her

"Why you-"

"Angie! Calm down already!" Shuichi shouted at her, "She's-"

"That Merodi Ongaku, Ultimate Musician and one of the winners of Season 51," Tori finished

"You bet your ass I am!" Merodi pointed a finger at herself, grinning

"Hey! I was gonna say that!" Shuichi protested

"Well who am I then?" The other girl asked

"Give me a sec here..." Shuichi said, thinking deeply, "Hmmmm, oh I know! You're Kireina Aisaino, Ultimate Anime Artist and one of the winners of Season 52!"

"Yay! You got it!" Kireina cheered, "I was in Danganronpa last year and I survived!"

"If you're from 52, why the fuck are you in the 51st floor?" Gonta asked her

"Hey! No need to get so aggressive with me!" Kireina pouted slightly, "But why can't I be here? Merodi-chan and I are best friends!"

"But you're both from different seasons," Angie said

"Who gives a single fuck if we're from different seasons?" Merodi answered, "Does it even matter?"

"Right! Friendship always overcomes anything!" Kireina smiled, "Right Merodi-chan?"

"Yep! Love always overpowers everything," Merodi then looked like her mind was wandering off somewhere else, "Especially when your boyfriend has black hair, the colour of midnight and dreamy eyes..."

"You're probably talking about Kenko Hashiru, Ultimate Sportsman and one of the other survivors of season 51, aren't you?" Tori said, "You two were one of the main ships back then,"

"We still are!" Merodi told him

"Sometimes I think Merodi-chan loves her boyfriend more than me," Kireina said wistfully, her cat ears and tail drooping, "Sometimes when I say I wanna hang out with her, she says she's too busy!"

"What? I hang out with you everyday!" Merodi protested, "I have a life you know!"

"You're so mean Merodi-chan!" Kireina cried, "Whenever I wanna hang out with everyone, everyone is too busy! They're always on missions, hanging out with their boyfriend or too busy coding for the new season!"

"Speaking about the new season," Kokichi butted in, "But we're actually the cast for that season,"

"Well congratulations then," Merodi said but she didn't sound that enthusiastic, "Guess I'll be stuck looking after you kids until the season starts,"

"Oh yay! New friends!" Kireina cheered, her tears drying up immediately, "This is also gonna be my first time working for the Danganronpa season!"

"You guys have to work?" Kaito asked

"Well yeah, did you think after we survive our seasons its all butterflies and rainbows?" Merodi sighed as she leaned against the wall, "We still have to work for Kodaka and help make the upcoming seasons,"

"Yeah! I get to paint all the scenery!" Kireina grinned, "And Merodi-chan is in charge of making the background music! Also, I get to make all the official fanart as well!"

"Wait, don't tell me you also draw ships too," Tsumugi gasped

"Yep! Of course! I've also gained the ability to instantly see potential ships just by looking at them," Kireina lifted her right arm as if she was lifting a finger

"You really don't let that one go, do you?" Merodi laughed

"Hmmm, lets see here," Kireina made a rectangle with her arms and looked into it before pointing an arm at Tenko and Himiko

"The classic Yuri ship!" She shouted, "The colour combo of red and green goes together quite nicely too!"

"Oh my god! She's right!" Tsumugi squealed, "She really can see ships!"

"Of course! I'm the master of it!" Kireina smiled proudly,
"Hmm, what else? Ah! The cliche ship of the loli and the jock! I love reading mangas of it!"

"What the fuck-" Kaito muttered

"Oh! The colour combo of the blue haired girl and the light green boy also goes together nicely!"

"Did you hear that Rantaro?" Tsumugi clutched Rantaro's arm, "We're a proper ship!"

"Hmmm, the short boy and the tall girl, that works out too!"

"Really? That's awesome!" Ryoma grinned

"Also, the blonde girl having to hold back the fanboy... Such a cool concept I never thought of!"

"OH MY GOD, THANK YOU!" Shuichi yelled

"And also the prankster helping the insecure girl gain her confidence... I like it!"

"How did you know?" Miu asked

"What else? Ah! The popular boy in the school falls for the quiet girl, another amazing cliche!"

"What a second there," Tsuki said, "We're not a ship,"

"Yes you are!" Tsumugi shouted at her, "All this time, I've been telling you how you two are a ship and you never listened to me!"

"Annnnnnnnnd, that's it," Kireina smiled contently

"Done? Finally," Merodi stood up straight and took a long look at the 18 teenagers, "Damn, you've got taste Kireina, they do look like legit ships,"

"I told you! I'm a professional at this!" Kireina said, "Oh! I almost forgot!"

She ran back into the music room and grabbed her notebook,
"Please may I draw you all!"

"Fuck yeah!" Shuichi and Tsumugi yelled

"I'm gonna be famous!" Maki shouted

"Imagine someone like the Ultimate Anime Artist drawing you," Tori said

"I'm fine with you drawing me but no ships," Tsuki told her

"Oh yes please draw ships," Korekiyo interjected

"Okay! Gotcha! I'll meet you guys tonight with all the art!" Kireina waved at them, "Sayonara for now!"

"I'll see you tonight too," Merodi said as she grabbed the door handle, "Don't screw the place up, alright?"

"We'll try," Kokichi waved off

"Also, there might be others on this floor so don't disturb them too!" Merodi yelled as she closed the door

"We will!" Kokichi snickered
