[Shion Sonozaki, Group A, Infirmary, Second floor main building]
" Oh, I'm sorry Six, I didn't know you were skilled with a katana. Of course if you're more skilled you will easily beat anyone, no matter what weapon they used against you. I also know my way around a Katana, though I still prefer something with closer range. A katana is just so heavy, and I don't think someone as petite as me should be messing with something so big and heavy, don't you think? "
She wasn't petite, not in the slightest. If anything, she was the complete opposite, but she as long as she made herself sound more adorable, it was worth telling a little white lie. There was also the fact that Katanas were amazingly light, but again, Shion is just trying to sound more adorable. Shion wanted to be careful and not sound like she was offending Six in any way, but Shion was sure she could beat Six, not that she really wanted to do anything to Six at the moment. However, anyone could snap at any moment, so constantly being on guard was much better than lessening it up.
" Oh~? So you're an American~? I don't believe I've ever met one, as nobody really comes to my home village, let alone foreigners. We also don't have a very good reputation, so our tourism rate is completely horrible. Nobody ever really moves in either, not that I blame them. It is such a small and boring village, living in the big city is so much more fun~! There is always something to do~! "
Shion began to ramble a lot at the end there, but she was getting pretty excited. She always wanted to live in a big city like Tokyo, but she couldn't really leave her home village in Hinamizawa. She might not have believed in the curse, but her family surely wouldn't allow her to leave, especially since she had all of the family's secrets, and they couldn't allow those out.
She then faced Kurama, a knowing smirk appeared on her face.
" Oh~? Then what happens if that doll become sentient and kills us all? At least that has a truly physical form, unlike these other spirits we can seal properly? Maybe this is the best way~? Or, is the risk too high? "
Shion was going to go full sadist on this one, hopefully it would push Kurama into a corner and make them seem foolish.
" Tell me, have you heard the theory of loss aversion? It is mostly used in economics, so let me just explain it real quick. It is that a person's fear of losing money in a risky investment that they end up losing far more for not investing. In this scenario, you're scared to break the doll in case things turn bad if we do, but things might get even worse the longer we keep that doll instead of breaking it. We lose more by not taking the chance than by taking the chance. "
Simple, beat the person and what they believe down, and then continue the assault.
" And while we are at it, how come you're the only one defending this doll? Did you even ask the others how they felt about you keeping that? What if you keeping that doll around brings us even more misfortune? What if we all die because you kept this doll around? How do you know that breaking this doll will release these spirits! Where Is your proof of these claims! Do you even have a basis beyond just a gut feeling! That isn't a reason and you know it! What if you're working with the person who trapped us here and you holding on to that doll is a sign to make sure they don't end up killing you? I did overhear something about how Yuno defended you, but what if that as well a part of the plan? Get her out of the way, and killing the rest becomes super easy.
Face it! As long as bad things happen while that doll is around, it will always end up being your fault! And as long as you refuse to get rid of it, you'll always be the most suspicious person! "
Well, that was it for her assault. Hopefully, it would break Kurama, but even if it didn't, it would at least make the others suspicious of her. Shion might not have been around for long, but even with just she knows on hand, it is VERY easy to paint Kurama as a suspect. If anything, all of her actions have been suspicious since Shion woke up. Immediately, she tried making Shion seem suspicious, which worked to an extent. She refuses to keep breaking this doll, and by far the most suspicious point, she acts like she knows what will happen if she ends up breaking the doll.
Well, that was fun. Shion turned to face Yuno, and gave an innocent smile, mimicking Yuno's own innocent exterior.
" Hello Yuno Gasai, my name is Shion Sonozaki. It is a pleasure to meet you, and I hope we will become good friends once this is all over. "
Finally, she woke up. Shion was going to talk to this girl about her true personality, but she couldn't do it in front of everyone. Not only would that be far to dangerous, it would also ruin their privacy, which is something Shion really wanted. There was a reason she offered to stay back with Yuno and Yukiteru. Yuno might not like Shion, but Shion was going to get all she could out of Yuno, and there was nobody who was going to stop her. There were so many questions to ask, so hopefully, everyone would leave soon.
" Yukki told me a lot about you, and If you're anything like him, I'm sure you're a wonderful person! "
Shion was pulling out everything to try to trigger Yuno. Calling Yukiteru by the same Yuno calls him, and even implying that he was a wonderful person. Well one, it was incredibly out of character for Shion, but it wasn't like Yuno or anyone here could effectively tell.
If Shion really saw herself in Yuno, things were about to get very rocky here and very quickly.
