## Chapter 1 - To Survive

"Ok then... everyone close your eyes, and whoever did it, raise your hand!"

"I assert that the one who was murdered was Miss Sayaka Maizono!"

"There was some kind of sharp object thrust into her stomach..."

"Without a doubt, that is the murder weapon!"

"It IS a problem! A boy and a girl spending the night together!? It's... It's... unwholesome!"

"Wh-!? You are!? Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!"

"Then the person who took the knife was the victim herself!"

"But are you sure we can decide something so important based solely on the absence of some hair!?"

"Then there would have been a lock on the door, and they would've had to break through...!"

"Well then, why don't we just vote right now? Majority rules!"

"It's fine, it's fine, just ask your question!"

"I don't think so. That seems way too convenient."

"Negative! If you remember, Monokuma made it quite clear that the locks are all unpickable."

"What happened then was... probably..."

"Whoever she invited over... came in, and... attacked her!"

"We figured it out! We know who did it! Whoever she invited over is the culprit!"

"I got it! Because she got hit with the sword, right there on her wrist!"

"I think I get it! So here's how it all played out..."

"The culprit came in, found the kitchen knife hidden there somewhere..."

"Then they took the knife and attacked Sayaka before she knew what was happening!"

"So she grabbed the sword to defend herself, but then the culprit took that from her, too...!"

"Then, after they broke her wrist with the sword... they took the knife and... finished it..."

"...So anyway, if Sayaka never touched the sword, then that means..."

"The killer is the only one who used the sword."

"But hold on. If that's right, then the one who damaged the sheath with the kitchen knife was..."

"Very well! Then let's review all the clues we found up to this point one more time!"

"I see... She **broke her right wrist** during the fight, so she'd have to use her left hand to write..."

"That's because the culprit didn't know it was your room! They thought they were in Sayaka's room!"

## Chapter 2 - Boy's Life of Despair

"According to the Monokuma File, the killer used a... blunt instrument, but-"

"What kind of blunt instrument could it have been?"

"Interesting!"

"That certainly would make for a powerful weapon!"

"She was acting funny, that's for sure. That melencholy tone of hers completely disappeared!"

"Toko...! What happened to you?"

"Huh?"

"So... are you saying the other difference has to do with how the body was arranged?"

"So since Chihiro was a girl and not an adorable little man, you wouldn't kill her?"

"Hgh- hghhh"

"I have no idea what's going on anymore! Could such a heinous villain be innocent?"

"Well, Byakuya!? What's your response!?"

"That's right! It absolutely was!"

"Then Byakuya must be the one who took the extension cord. I can't imagine any other possibility!"

"He kept calling this a game, right? So he'd be totally willing to do something like this to win!"

"Hey! Don't just move on without permission! What do you mean she was killed somewhere else?!"

"What?!"

"Ah! I've got it!"

"She must've hacked her E-Handbook!"

"She was the ultimate programmer after all!"

"I'm sure that would've been no problem for her!"

"So, then. She must've hacked hers, like I said. She used her ultimate programmer skills and-"

"Ok then! I vote for Byakuya!"

"What are you talking about? What other way is there?"

"We've already searched this place top to bottom! What're you trying to pull, Missy?"

"I-It's probably best if I don't run my hands all over a girl's dead body."

"T-Th-Then..."

"Then it's really true!?"

"So Chihiro really was killed in the boy's locker room?!"

"Well I find it very hard to believe!"

"Do you not have a mind of your own!?"

"Well... clues are one thing, but-"

"Did nobody get a look at the killer?"

"Whatever! Just hurry up and tell us!"

"A track jacket and a duffel bag? But, we didn't find anything like that at the murder scene."

"S-Seriously!?"

"Even if we had the equipment for that, we wouldn't know how to use it!"

"I got it! He picked that tracksuit because-!"

"It matched the one the culprit was wearing!"

"Uh- I'm sure he saw the clothes at some point in the investivation!"

"Yeah! He would never do something like that! This is a false accusation!"

"Wow, interesting! I learned one new fact today."

"Gghh- hhhng"

"Why.-? Why do you keep accusing him!?"

"No! Wait! Hold on! You've got it all wrong! He would never kill-!"

"I don't accept this! Show me the proof! The actual, solid proof!"

"S-see? Look!"

"Makoto was wrong after all!"

"Mondo wouldn't hurt a fly!"

"What the heck are you talking about!?"

"What's wrong bro? C-come on! Tell him he's wrong!"

"You **are** wrong! You **have** to be wrong!""

"Everything you just said is wrong! You made it all up!"

"Wait! No... This can't be right!"

"Where's your evidence? Yeah- Where's your evidence!?"

"You need evidence! You need proof!"

"Without any proof, you can't pin any of this on him!"

"Bro..? Bro! What're you saying?!"

"W-wait! Hold on!"

"Ok! Looks like everyone's here! Time to start the meeting!"

"Let's all go around and share what we found during out our respective investivations!"

"The sooner we find out what's going on, the sooner we get out of here!"

"One, Two, Three, Four!"

"H-hey Mondo..."

"You can take off your uniform, y'know? Go ahead, I won't judge."

"It just so happens I was born with a red face."

"Act you say?"

"Hahahahaha ha- I'm still plenty good to go! I'm so good- I could eat a steaming hot bowl of soup right now!"

"Don't you think- It's about time- You gave up-?"

"Say what- ever you want- I'm still- totally- good to go. In fact- I'm starting to feel- kinda cold."

"In a true competition- there's no such thing as a tie."

"You win- or you lose- that's- the only thing that matters."

"Shut up!"
