Danganronpa: All At Once/Chapter 5 - Who Killed Robin's Cock?

* Monomi

## Chapter 5 - Who Killed Robin's Cock?

### Blackout

With Korekiyo and Teruteru being tied up in their own rooms, the students are going back to their rooms, with the only exception of Juzo, who's still destroying the monitors, and Kaito, Kazuichi, Leon and Maki, who decided to look for Nagito and tie him up as well. However, during their search something unexpected happens. A gas is sprayed through the hallways. Juzo and the group looking for Nagito immediately fall asleep. A person wearing a gas mask, Monokuma and Monofunny soon start opening doors to everyone's rooms and let the gas inside to make them fall asleep as well.

### New location

The participants wake up in what appears to be a gym.

**Hajime:** Huh? Where are we?

**Kazuo:** It appears this is the gym...of Hope's Peak Academy.

**Kiyotaka:** It indeed is!

**Chiaki:** So we've been transported to a new location again?

**Kazuo:** It appears so. This time they didn't need our help?

**Juzo:** Well, that one time was a trick by Shirokuma to get someone killed. The first time, when we were transported to Jabberwock Island was exactly like this one. A strange gas that makes us fall asleep, waking up in a different location...

**Kokichi:** I guess the hosts didn't want to repeat Shirokuma's trick this time.

**Suichi:** Yeah...But why? Wouldn't they want more victims?

**Kokichi:** They probably didn't want to be too repetitive. Being repetitive makes the game boring.

**Maki:** Your presence here reminds me...

However, Harukawa's interrupted by the entrance of the remaining 3 hosts.

**Monokuma:** Why, hello there! Thank you all for waiting!

**Chiaki:** We didn't wait. We just woke up.

**Monokuma:** Anyway...Congratulations, you have reached the new stage of our killing game!

**Juzo:** Yeah, we noticed that. Care to explain in more detail?!

**Monokuma:** Sheesh, so impatient! Alrighty then! First of all, as you have already noticed, we changed locations again. This time you're inside another building of our prestigous school. Inside the main Hope's Peak Academy's schoold building.

**Juzo:** So, what's up with the sudden change of place, huh?

**Monokuma:** Well, firstly, Mr. Sakakura decided to destroy all of the monitors back inside the Ultimate Academy. I thought that perhaps he'd be too tired to destroy all of the ones here.

**Juzo:** As if!

**Monokuma:** Aw, what a shame. Looks like the death of one more person this round will be on your hands then.

**Juzo:** Tch!

**Monokuma:** Secondly, changing locations is just a part of this game. That's why I told you destroying monitors at the Ultimate Academy after the last trial would be useless. There are several masterminds and they all had their own ideas for a place where the game should take place. So in the end we decided to combine them! That's why we go to new locations every now and then. You've already been on Jabberwock Island, on the streets of Towa City and inside the Ultimate Academy. Now you're inside the main Hope's Peak Academy's school building.

**Byakuya:** Yes, we have noticed it already. Do you have anything important to say?

**Monokuma:** Of course! You see, the location isn't the only change. I'm also lowering the limit of killer per round again! This time, I reduce it to **only 3 killers**.

**Byakuya:** Why?

**Monokuma:** Huh? Not happy?

**Byakuya:** I am. However, I need to know your reason for doing so.

**Monokuma:** Well, consider it as an apology for tricking you into believing I won't use the Suicide Videos anymore last time.

**Byakuya:** Is it your real reason?

**Monokuma:** Well, the truth is the limit of the killers was also meant to eventually be lowered with each round. But I told you you can consider it as a form of apology if you want to.

**Mikan:** W-Wow, how nice of you...I think.

**Monokuma:** So, Mr. Sakakura, are you still sure you want to destroy the monitors here? With one of the murders being a suicide, there could be less victims this time.

**Juzo:** Pfft! I still need to do it so everyone would be able to sleep without having to worry! And we can end this game before Suicide Video could be used, right? And even if we don't, the game would still continue until the last survivor anyway.

**Monokuma:** Fine, do whatever you want. Now then, most of you are familiar with this place, so...Have fun! Girls, we're leaving!

Monokuma drags Monomi by her ear and Monofunny by her hand away.

### Choosing a place to sleep

**Kazuichi:** So, what are we gonna do now?

**Hajime:** Well, since I've never been to-

**Chiaki:** Let's begin with choosing the place to sleep in, like the last time.

**Toko:** Th-this is going to be a pain in the ass here. Hope's Peak Academy's main building has only 15 dorms. There are no beds in other rooms. U-Unless you can treat a table or a ground as a bed.

**Mikan:** W-Well, there is one in a nurse office. I can sleep there if you want...

**Kazuo:** Hold on. Ishimaru, please count the survivors.

Kiyotaka begins to count the remaining participants.

**Kiyotaka:** There are 31 of us here, sir!

**Kazuo:** That's good. This means we can occupy the dorms in duos and one trio.

**Juzo:** Alright. In that case, I better share one with Mr. Tengan. We're the only adult men here.

**Hiroko:** I obviously have to share a dorm with my son because of my forbidden action.

**Yasuhiro:** Cool! We can share the dorm in which I was stayin' back during school days.

**Hiroko:** Wow, it looks like you got used to spending time with me around, honey.

**Yasuhiro:** Heheh, yeah, looks like it.

**Nagisa:** Kotoko and I should probably share a dorm as well. We're the only kids left.

**Kotoko:** But...Should we really let a boy sleep with a girl? That's indecent!

**Nagisa:** We're just kids! I won't try anything stupid.

**Yasuhiro:** Yeah, besides, there are bathrooms in the dorms, so you can change there.

**Nagisa:** See? I promise I won't peek.

**Kotoko:** Fine, I guess. You did have a crush on Monaca, not me, after all.

**Nagisa:** R-Right...Although the word "did" is quite a perfect description in this case.

**Kiyotaka:** Fine, we can allow that exception. However, we must make sure to prevent any co-ed rooms, unless the number of gender ratio would force us otherwise.

**Chihiro:** S-Speaking of which, now that you know that I'm a boy, how about we share your dorm, Taka?

**Kiyotaka:** That is fine by me! We did train together and spent a lot of time with Mondo and your dad, after all.

**Chihiro:** This means someone can take my dorm.

**Kaito:** How about it, bro?

**Shuichi:** B-But last time I was with Kaede-

**Kaito:** Last time there were too many survivors and you were kinda forced to. And last time Taka didn't forbid you from sharing a room with her, hahah. Not to mention a Love Hotel was a more suitable place than just an academy.

**Kiyotaka:** More suitable? More like even more indecent!

**Shuichi:** Fine, I guess I'm staying with Kaito in Chihiro's room.

**Kaito:** Awesome! Then our girls can share a room as well!

**Shuichi:** Our girls?

**Kaito:** Kaede and Maki Roll, duh.

**Maki:** Since when am I your girl? And I told you to stop calling me-

**Kaede:** It's alright for me. I don't mind sharing a room with Maki.

**Kokichi:** Even though she's the Ultimate Assassin?

**Kaede:** I still trust her! And besides, with her forbidden action, I can sleep peacefully.

**Kaito:** That's the spirit, Kaede!

**Maki:** Fine. I guess I have no other choice. No other girl is probably this stupid.

**Kaede:** I'd rather you call me trusting. Now then, whose dorm should we choose?

**Byakuya:** You can choose Toko's room. She'll be sharing mine with me.

**Toko:** M-Master...?

**Byakuya:** Do not get any ideas, please. Like any other time, I am choosing you only because you are my most loyal ally.

**Kiyotaka:** Impossible! A co-ed room that isn't forced-

**Toko:** It is forced! A-Anyone else would kill my Master in his sleep!

**Byakuya:** Now that you remind me, we will have to sleep in the same bed...Ugh, I guess this is too late to change.

**Kiyotaka:** No, it isn't!

**Toko:** Yes, it is!

Ishimaru is quite frightened of Fukawa's agression towards him.

**Kiyotaka:** F-Fine, but only to prevent anyone from killing Byakuya.

**Kokichi:** Speaking of preventing to kill, I think Nagito and I should share a room. We're pretty unpopular here as well.

**Nagito:** Good idea, my friend.

**Shuichi:** I agree. We probably should let the main suspect of Himiko and Mahiru's murder and the person who framed Kirumi into being a killer share a room as well.

**Teruteru:** What?! Don't make me share a room with a killer! At least I didn't kill anyone! He may kill me though!

**Korekiyo:** Oh, trust me, I will not.

**Teruteru:** Your claim doesn't calm me one bit.

**Mikan:** S-Seiko and I are going to share a dorm as well, r-right Seiko?

**Seiko:** Of course.

**Ryota:** I'm going to share a dorm with the Imposter.

**Imposter:** Agreed.

**Fuyuhiko:** Yo, Hajime! You're a cool guy. How about we share a dorm?

**Hajime:** That's fine by me.

**Kiyotaka:** Very well! Then the last two remaining guys, Leon and Kazuichi, are going to share a dorm with each other.

**Leon:** Come on, man! I wanted to share one with Sayaka.

**Kiyotaka:** What did I say about co-ed rooms when we're not forced for them?!

**Leon:** B-But Byakuya and Toko could...

**Kiyotaka:** But you are not Byakuya and Toko!

**Leon:** Fine.

**Kazuichi:** Ya know, it hurts me that even Nagito and Kokichi chose, but I was forced.

**Leon:** It's alright dude, you're cool. You'd be my second pick anyway.

**Kazuichi:** Thanks.

**Teruteru:** And it's not like you were the only one forced to share a room.

**Aoi:** Hey, Sayaka, how about we share a room? We were classmates and we got along.

**Sayaka:** Good idea!

**Celestia:** Are you implying you did not get along with me, the only other choice among your female classmates left?

**Aoi:** Oh, sorry. I didn't mean that! One dorm will have to be for three people, so why don't we still share-

**Celestia:** It is alright, I decline your offer anyway.

**Aoi:** Huh? Why?

**Celestia:** The only other room left will include Chiaki and Sonia by default. Although I am not their classmate, I would still prefer to share a room with someone of royal blood.

**Aoi:** Fine for me, but maybe you should ask them first.

**Chiaki:** It's alright, I don't see why we shouldn't share a dorm with her.

**Sonia:** Me neither. Especially since it'd be her dorm anyway.

**Sayaka:** Oh, right. Hina and I can share mine, right Hina?

**Aoi:** Alright. Then who wants to sleep in mine?

**Mikan:** C-Can we take it then?

**Aoi:** Sure, that's why I asked.

**Hajime:** Whose dorm are we going to share then?

**Fuyuhiko:** Hmm...How about Mondo's? He was a pretty tough guy.

**Teruteru:** Then whose-

**Celestia:** You two should share Hifumi Yamada's dorm.

**Teruteru:** Oh, come man, why did you choose the person whom I got killed?

**Celestia:** Let it be a punishment for you. Additionally, let it make you think about what you have done.

**Teruteru:** Yes, Miss Celeste...

**Kotoko:** We can share Big Sis Junko's room.

**Nagisa:** Really? But she betrayed us by having us in this game...

**Kotoko:** R-Right...

**Kaede:** Then we can take Junko's dorm, right Maki?

**Maki:** Fine, whatever.

**Ryota:** We could share Makoto's dorm, I guess. Him having hope no matter how bad the situation was was kind of inspiring for me.

**Kotoko:** We'll take Toko's dorm then.

**Toko:** K-Kids in my dorm? Then again, the only other choice are adult men, one of them being a granpda, or two annoying guys. I guess I accept.

**Nagito:** Fine, we will choose Sakura's dorm then.

**Kazuo:** Looks like it leaves us Jin's daughter's dorm then.

### Investigation

**Kazuo:** Ah, the Hope's Peak Academy...So many memories...

**Seiko:** Yeah, so many bad memories too...

**Maki:** Now that we've chosen where to sleep, we should tie up Teruteru and Korekiyo and leave them in their room again. Same with Nagito this time.

**Nagito:** Huh? Li'l old me?

**Maki:** You did claim to be one of the masterminds. Leon, Kaito, hold Korekiyo. I'll hold Nagito and Kazuichi will hold Teruteru. Shuichi, go find some ropes to tie them up!

**Teruteru:** I-Is this really necessary, ma'am? I told you I have no reason to kill anyone anymore. Besides, what can the li'l old me do? I'm too small and weak to fight. I could only kill using a poison, but if you get rid of it, I'll be unable to kill, just like you.

**Maki:** Tch!

**Teruteru:** I'm all for being tied up, but in a different context, ya know. Please, just let Seiko and Mikan get rid of anything that could be poisonous and let me be free.

**Maki:** Fine. Seiko, Mikan, you'll look for anything that could even resemble a poison and get rid of it. Additionaly, at least two people will watch you while you'll be cooking from now on, Teruteru.

**Teruteru:** Yes, ma'am! Thank you!

Kimura and Tsumiki leave with Hanamura to get rid of poisons. They first go to the nurse's office.

**Shuichi:** Maki, I'm afraid there is one problem with your plan.

**Maki:** Which is?

**Shuichi:** Our class has had its own building during school year, remember? We've been here only a few times. I don't know that place well enough to know where to look for the ropes.

**Hajime:** Yeah, speaking of that, I've never been allowed to enter the main building. I don't know it at all. Can someone show me around?

**Nagisa:** Good idea. Allow us to join us well. We've only been in Hope's Peak Academy's elementary school building.

**Chiaki:** Good idea. We should show Class 79th, Hajime and the kids around. We can also have a proper investigation while doing so.

**Korekiyo:** If that is the case, allow us to join.

**Maki:** No, you're going to stay tied up in your room.

**Korekiyo:** However, I am not tied up yet, yes? Besides, what if Nagito and I could turn out useful for the investigation and find some important clue that everyone else would overlook?

**Chiaki:** He does have a point. Alright, let's keep an eye on them and allow them to go with us. We can tie them up afterwards.

**Maki:** Fine. Should we go get Sakakura, Mikan, Seiko and Teruteru then?

**Kazuo:** They all know this place well. Besides, they can still find some clues in nurse office or while destroying the monitors.

**Kaito:** Everyone ready now? Good! Let's go then!

And thus everyone besides Juzo, Mikan, Seiko and Teruteru goes to investigate for clues around the school. On their way, they find a lot of rotting corpses of the victims of the Reserve Course students' Parade. They also find that there are two locked rooms, one of which being the monitor room and the other being headmaster's office.

**Kazuo:** Looks like we'll have to call Juzo anyway.

**Shuichi:** Indeed. The hosts may be hiding in either of those places, but the headmaster's office should include some important clues.

**Maki:** However, e-Handbooks don't show Mr. Sakakura anywhere on the map. He may have been already killed or he could have just destroyed his e-Handbook long time ago.

**Kaede:** Let's hope it's the latter then.

Fortunately for the participants, the former Ultimate Boxer soon appears in order to destroy the nearby monitors.

**Juzo:** Hi. How's the investigation goin'?

**Kazuo:** Juzo, considering you cannot be punished, we will need you to open the closed doors for us again.

**Juzo:** Sure, no problem.

Sakakura breaks the doorknob of the door to headmaster's office with his bare hand.

**Kazuo:** Alright. There is one more closed room. Follow me. Everyone else, please investigate headmaster's officie throughly.

**Shuichi:** Sure.

**Sayaka:** For Kyoko!

Tengan and Sakakura leave the group, while the rest enters Jin Kirigiri's office and begins to look for clues.

**Sayaka:** Hey, look. What a cute picture of the headmaster and Kyoko.

**Maki:** Focus on the investigation now. You'll have the time to get sentimental later.

The only clue that the group manages to find is a laptop on Jin Kirigiri's desk. Shuichi turns it on. However, it appears to consist of only one file. There is no Internet connection either.

**Shuichi:** I don't think anyone would use a laptop for just one file...I'm positive that everything else was deleted.

**Chihiro:** There is a way to check the deleted files, b-but...

Fujisaki once again shows his forbidden action to everyone.

**Chihiro:** I'm not sure if telling you what to would be against the rules though...Maybe I'll write instructions on a piece of paper. That way you'll read and follow them later without my help.

**Aoi:** Good idea, Chihiro!

Fujisaki leaves and goes to his dorm to find something to write the instructions on.

**Kaede:** In the meantime, let's check the only file that we've got.

**Shuichi:** Y-Yeah.

Saihara opens the only file in the laptop. It turns out to be... **a list of everyone's forbidden actions**.

### List of forbidden actions

**Shuichi:** You know, maybe we shouldn't let Korekiyo see what's in here. He's still the main suspect for Himiko and Mahiru's case.

**Korekiyo:** Fine, I will not read it.

**Hajime:** Nagito too, just in case.

**Nagito:** Huh? Isn't that a list of everyone's forbidden actions? You do realize that as a mastermind, I already know everyone's NG Codes, right?

**Hajime:** Nevermind, let's read it.

**Kaede:** Is it actually safe? What if someone will use it for murder?

**Maki:** Well, we already know some of ours forbidden actions anyway.

**Kaede:** Y-Yeah, but...

**Chiaki:** On the other hand, what if it will save someone's life? Some forbidden actions could be triggered by someone else accidentally, like how it happened to Mr. Bandai.

**Kiyotaka:** True...Perhaps it is indeed better to check it, just in case.

**Aoi:** We can always share it with nice people only and not let meanies like Byakuya see it.

**Kiyotaka:** Agreed!

**Maki:** In that case, Kokichi can't see it either.

**Kokichi:** Aw, Maki, you're so mean excluding me like this. Besides, you can't know if I'm one of the masterminds...If I indeed were one, I'd know all of them anyway.

**Maki:** Doesn't matter, you, Byakuya, Nagito and Korekiyo aren't allowed to see this.

**Kiyotaka:** We also should not inform Teruteru about this. What if he decides to make someone else accidentally trigger someone's forbidden action?

**Chiaki:** I believe he was sincere when he said he doesn't have a reason to kill anymore. But I guess we can just read it now and not wait for him to make it faster.

**Kiyotaka:** Alright, let us read then!

### Discovery

**Ryota:** So this is why Seiko was avoiding crowds all the time...

**Maki:** I am...shocked. Kokichi has never lied during this game? Not a single time?

**Kokichi:** Nope! At worst, when I used statements about opinions, I formed them in a way that could be objective.

**Juzo:** And that damn Towa bastard...He was so determined to have Monaca Towa killed that he'd sacrifice his life for it?

**Kaede:** Speaking of sacrifices, was Rantaro trying to sacrifice himself in order to catch one of the masterminds for us?

**Shuichi:** Well, either that, or he planned to kill them instead of only catching them all along.

**Nagito:** And as you may have noticed, almost anyone who isn't an Ultimate has a forbidden action about their close person who's an Ultimate dying. That was my idea! Mr. Fujisaki was an exception because his skills could be a major threat for the masterminds' plan. Mrs. Hagakure also posseses nice skills, so her forbidden action was slightly modified to remind us that she's more than just an unremarkable, useless person.

**Hajime:** I should've know you were behind those forbidden actions.

**Nagito:** Oh? I was only behind those specific ones. Other mastermind came up with the rest of them. But let's not talk about it now, at least not until you find out their identity.

**Kazuo:** So then...now what?

**Maki:** We've investigated everywhere. Now we can finally tie up the dangerous ones and lock them in their rooms.

**Kokichi:** Does this include you, Maki? Oh wait, your forbidden action means we shouldn't be worried about you. Nishishi! At least unless you're suicidal...

**Maki:** Tch!

**Kaito:** Let's just tie 'em up already!

Kaito and Maki tie up Korekiyo and lock him in his room, whereas Leon and Kazuichi tie up Nagito and lock him in his. Meanwhile, the Ultimate Imposter and Ryota go to the nurse's officie to let Mikan, Seiko and Teruteru know about the recent discovery. Everyone leaves the headmaster's office. Juzo attempts to break into the monitor room with, but fails. In the meantime, Shuichi is left in headmaster's office with Chihiro, who's meant to tell him how to find deleted files.

**Shuichi: I wonder...**

Saihara suddenly remembers that the hidden participants weren't mentioned on the list. However, he also remembers that Ted Chikatilo being blown up for breaking the rule of killing up to 2 victims means he had to have a wristband as well. The Ultimate Detective gets an idea. He changes the entire text's color to white and then back to black. This reveals there was some hidden text written in white colour on the white background below the list of the NG Codes. The text consisted of a list of the hidden participants, all of whom had "N/A" marked as their forbidden actions.

**Shuichi:** Huh? He's still alive? I should tell the others!

**Chihiro:** Sh-Shuichi? Where are you going?

**Shuichi:** I need to tell everyone something.

**Chihiro:** B-But what about helping me to see if there were any important documents removed?

**Shuichi:** I'll ask Kaede to help you. This reminds me, I should start with you. I mean, look at the bottom of that document. The forbidden actions, or rather their lack, of the hidden participants was hidden in there. And if you read it, you can see...

Fujisaki starts reading the previously hidden part of the text.

**Chihiro:** ...That he's still alive?

**Shuichi:** Exactly.

**Chihiro:** Y-You're right. Go ahead and tell everyone, Shuichi. I'll be waiting here for Kaede.

With Fujisaki's approval, Saihara leaves the headmaster's office.

While Shuichi tells everyone about the news, Kaede checks if there were any useful documents removed from the laptop, using Chihiro's instructions written on a piece of paper. However, the search ends up unfruitful.

**Chihiro:** I'm sorry it turned out to be useless waste of time, Kaede.

**Kaede:** Are you kidding? It wasn't useless! We still found a list of everyone's forbidden actions, including the hidden participants! It doesn't matter that we didn't find anything else. It was still worth checking.

**Chihiro:** Th-Thank you, Kaede.

Suddenly, Momota enters the room.

**Kaito:** Chihiro, Kaede, go to the gym! It's an emergency!

The trio runs out of the headmaster's office and heads towards the gym.

### At the gym

Once the trio arrives, they see some students waiting for them. It turns out Momota formed a meeting with several students in the gym. Those students include almost entirety of still alive members of the training squad - Chihiro Fujisaki, Kaede Akamatsu, Kiyotaka Ishimaru, Maki Harukawa, Mikan Tsumiki, Ryota Mitarai, Seiko Kimura and the Ultimate Imposter.

**Kaito:** Where's Kazuichi?

**Maki:** Busy flirting with Sonia.

**Kaito:** And where's Shuichi?

**Kaede:** Still looking for some people to tell them the news.

**Kaito:** Fine, he'll join us later. Even after all those deaths and with Kazuichi and Shuichi's absence, we still have a lot of people.

**Kiyotaka:** What exactly is the purpose of this meeting?

**Kaito:** Isn't it obvious? It's been a while since we trained for the last time. There was that round where we left the island, believing we'd escape, and then we had to survive on the streets of Towa City. And then there was a new location and some more deaths. After all those events, we completely forgot about our training! We skipped it for way too long!

**Kiyotaka:** That is true. Regularity is important!

**Kaito:** Not only that, but we're also slowly reachin' the end, guys! We need to be prepared to fight the masterminds more than before! That's why we're gonna start early this time. In other words...right now!

**Imposter:** I was actually hoping I wouldn't have to train anymore.

**Ryota:** Come on, it's actually fun. One of very few fun things in our current situation.

**Imposter:** I suppose so...

**Kaito:** Alright, then let's start!

With this order, the group starts the first training session in a while.

### Aoi Asahina, Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu, Kazuichi Soda, Leon Kuwata, Sayaka Maizono and Sonia Nevermind

Meanwhile, another meeting is formed in the dining room.

**Fuyuhiko:** Yo, you're probably wondering why I gathered you all here.

**Sonia:** That is indeed the truth.

**Fuyuhiko:** You see, we all lost someone important to us in this game. Peko and Natsumi in my case, Sakura and Yuta in Hina's case, Kanon in Leon's case, Makoto and Kyoko in Sayaka's case and Gundham in Sonia and Kazuichi's case. I'd also invite Chihiro and Taka for losing Mondo, but they're busy with their training.

**Leon:** And what's the point of makin' us remember that?

**Sayaka:** Yeah, haven't we suffered enough?

**Fuyuhiko:** Exactly, we have. That's why I thought we should stick together. And to help us deal with our loss, we should do something together.

**Kazuichi:** Wow, look at you acting so socially.

**Fuyuhiko:** Heh, suffering alone after Peko and Natsumi's deaths did a number on me. Like you said, I'm not good at this socializing stuff, so I hope my idea is good.

**Aoi:** It is!

**Sonia:** Now then, whatever shall we do?

**Kazuichi:** A party, of course!

**Leon:** Nah, too much of a bother to prepare everythin'. Let's just go somewhere together and talk.

**Aoi:** We can go to the swimming pool!

**Sonia:** Does not your forbidden action prevent you from swimming?

**Aoi:** It does, but who said I'll be swimming? You guys can. I just miss swimming so much that simply being at the pool in a swimsuit will be enough for me.

**Kazuichi:** Swimsuit?

**Fuyuhiko:** Alright, then it's decided. Everyone, get your swimsuits and we're going at the pool!

### Chiaki Nanami, Hajime Hinata, Kotoko Utsugi and Nagisa Shingetsu

The only two remaining Warriors of Hope spend some time walking in the hallway.

**Kotoko:** Nagisa, you're still a leader, right? What should we do? We lost so many of our friends. And we were betrayed my Monaca and Big Sis Junko.

**Nagisa:** Let's still believe in them. Perhaps it was another mastermind's fault that we ended up here? Perhaps it was by chance? We should focus on doing something to not spend time worrying about such things.

**Kotoko:** And what about our plans?

**Nagisa:** Well, creating a Children's Paradise with only us two will be harder. Plus, we have no control over Monokuma Units anymore. It appears our plan has been unfortunately cancelled, at least for the time being. But frankly, I've had quite enough of deaths happening all around me.

**Kotoko:** Yeah, with us being put in a killing game and witnessing our friends die, it doesn't seem so good anymore... You were right, let's just focus on having fun and not think about this depressing stuff! Now then, where should we go?

**Nagisa:** From our investigation, it appears that the Rec Room has quite a lot of fun things to offer.

**Kotoko:** Then let's go have fun there!

Having said that, the two remaining Warriors of Hope head to the Rec Room to have fun playing games. In the Rec Room, they find Chiaki and Hajime playing games together.

**Hajime:** It feels weird to hang out without Nagito...Oh, hi.

**Kotoko:** Would you mind if we joined you?

**Chiaki:** Not at all. Games are for everyone, after all. And they'll help you dealing with the loss of your friends...I think.

As such, the kids join Chiaki and Hajime in playing games.

### Byakuya Togami and Toko Fukawa

The two are in a library.

**Toko:** M-Master, why are we in a library again?

**Byakuya:** Isn't this obvious? We have already found a file about Class 77-B in the library on Jabberwock Island, and a file about Class 79 in the library of the Ultimate Academy. It's quite likely that we are going to find a file about the only other class that survived in its entirety - our class - in this library.

**Toko:** I-Is it even worth checking. I mean, we know who was a mastermind from our class. A-And we know everyone's talents, names and all.

**Byakuya:** Well, that is true, *we* do. However, please remember how the previous files revealed information such as Maki's hidden talent. It's quite likely the file about our class will have an information about your hidden talent...and personality.

**Toko:** Th-That's true...

**Byakuya:** You may have been quite good at hiding it thus far, even from our own classmates, but we need to not take risks. You may have told me about it after I found out you can't kill cute boys, but I cannot predict what others' reactions would be. Granted, Maki's case is similar. However, she's forbidden from killing at all. You're only forbidden from killing cute boys. In other words, the others may still be worried about you and decide to tie you up. And I cannot risk losing an important ally.

**Toko:** I-Important ally...? Alright, let's find that document and get rid of it!

### Celestia Ludenberg and Teruteru Hanamura

Celestia finds Teruteru.

**Teruteru:** M-Miss Celeste? After all that I've done, you're still willing to see me?

**Celestia:** Let us say that I am a forgiving person. Besides, I need a witness.

**Teruteru:** A witness?

**Celestia:** Everyone split in groups again. If another murder happens, I cannot afford having no alibi. I need you as my alibi.

**Teruteru:** Miss Celeste, you're so nice!

**Celestia:** However, I need you to properly apologize for killing one of my servants. Let us say that preparing another royal milk tea for me will be enough. And remember that I will be observing you carefully.

**Teruteru:** No need to, Mikan and Seiko already disposed of all the poisonous substances. But I'll gladly be observed anyway.

Celestia is disgusted by the remark but goes with Teruteru to the kitchen nonetheless.

### Korekiyo Shinguji

Shinguji lies tied up with ropes in his and Teruteru's room. He actually quite enjoys it. However, his pleasure is interrupted with an entrance of certain someone.

**Korekiyo:** You? I didn't get to know you that much, however I was certain that you were killed.

**???:** Let's just say I have a talent for hiding from the danger.

**Korekiyo:** And what are you going to do?

**???:** I've been found out. I may as well come out now. But still, I'll need you to create a chaotic circumstance that will allow me to stay hidden for a while longer at least. I know you were the one who killed Himiko and Mahiru.

**Korekiyo:** H-How?!

**???:** I've got my sources. But it doesn't matter. I'll need you to kill someone else now. You see, there is a group planning a certain event together... I'd love to spy on them. I'm not sure if you're the type who peeks at people, but at least you're the type who kills the girls, right?

**Korekiyo:** Only the ones who are worthy to become my Sister's friends...However, I am listening.

The two start talking about the plan as the mysterious person unties Korekiyo.

### Kokichi Oma and Nagito Komaeda

A similar situation happens in another room.

**Nagito:** Kokichi, you came. I'm so glad.

**Kokichi:** Of course, I wouldn't just ditch our plan. Especially after you put so much effort into it. Besides, they're spliting in groups again. Another murder is bound to happen soon. And there are only up to 3 killers allowed in this round. We don't have much time.

Oma unties Komaeda and the two leave the room, making sure no one notices them first.

### At the pool

Korekiyo and his new companion sneak into the swimming pool area as silently as possible. Shinguji's new partner does so without a slightest sound. Later, the two hide behind the seats and observe the scene. Kazuichi, Leon, Sayaka and Sonia are swimming, while Aoi, in a swimsuit, watches them, sitting by the pool. Fuyuhiko is sitting right next to her, so she wouldn't be the only one not to swim.

**???: How disappointing...They're all in one-piece swimsuits and Sonia is even wearing a wetsuit!**

The two partners in crime begin to whisper to each other.

**Korekiyo:** Fortunately, all three are worthy to become my Sister's friends. It appears that Aoi's forbidden action will make her the easiest victim.

**???:** Indeed. And I'll start with Fuyuhiko. He's also not in the water currently and he's the smallest one.

**Korekiyo:** Smallest, but most dangerous.

**???:** I'll handle him.

**Korekiyo:** What next?

**???:** Obviously, they're going to come out of the water and attempt to stop us from killing the rest of them. That's when we're going to kill the rest.

**Korekiyo:** Hmm, but there are 3 boys and girls. We'll die if we kill all of them.

**???:** Don't worry, as a hidden participant, I don't have to worry about that. I'll kill all of the boys and one of the girls for you.

**Korekiyo:** But that killer of the Student Council...Ted Chikatilo, was it?...Got executed for killing too many victims.

**???:** My case is different. Besides, 4 victims aren't as bad as 14.

**Korekiyo:** Alright.

The two leave their hiding place. Korekiyo runs up to Aoi and Fuyuhiko and pushes the Ultimate Swimmer into the swimming pool. Shocked, she tries to stay afloat, but soon a familiar sound can be heard. After that, Aoi Asahina's lifeless, half-purple body stays afloat with no problem. Blood coming from her left eye makes the water around her change color.

**Fuyuhiko:** You fucking bastard!

Kuzuryu kicks Shinguji in the groin. Kuwata and Soda soon come to help him hold the killer, while the girls take Hina's corpse from the water.

**Korekiyo:** Quickly, now's your chance! Help me and kill them!

**Fuyuhiko:** Who are you talking to, creep?!

Shinguji looks at their hiding place and then looks around.

**Korekiyo:** Huh? Where did he go to?

**Fuyuhiko:** He who?!

**Korekiyo:** Yūto Kamishiro, the Ultimate Secret Agent. He's still alive.

**Kazuichi:** Yeah, no shit he's still alive. Shuichi told us some time ago.

**Korekiyo:** Huh? He didn't tell me. Anyway, he was supposed to kill the guys...

**Fuyuhiko:** Damn it, we must catch that bastard before he does it!

**Leon:** Chill man, looks like he got too scared or somethin'.

**Kazuichi:** Or maybe he just tricked Kiyo.

**Korekiyo:** What?!

**Fuyuhiko:** And the hell did you do that for?!

**Korekiyo:** You see, I examine the girls carefully...I collect friends for my dead Sister-

**Fuyuhiko:** You're sick!

**Leon:** Anyway, you'll explain that at the Class Trial.

**Korekiyo:** W-Wait, let me kill one more! With that, I will finally reach my 100 friends for my Sister goal.

**Kazuichi:** What the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck?! You killed 99 girls?!

**Korekiyo:** I'm just one away. Please...

**Kazuichi:** Like hell I'm gonna let you kill Miss Sonia!

**Leon:** Like hell I'm gonna let you kill Sayaka!

The three guys have enough and lead Korekiyo to his room, with the girls following them in safe distance. As soon as they reach the room, they tie him up again.

### Kokichi Oma and Nagito Komaeda

**Kokichi:** Well, the first body announcement of this round played. Aoi Asahina died from her forbidden action.

**Nagito:** Are you perhaps worried about our plan not going smoothly?

**Kokichi:** Maybe a bit...

**Nagito:** Do not worry then! I may have a trashy talent, but my Ultimate Luck will allow our plan to go without problem. Just believe in it! The note is going to be found on time. And we're going to kill right after the second murder!

**Kokichi:** Well, I'm not an expert at trusting people. Kaito is. But I guess in this case that's the only thing I can do.

### Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu, Kazuichi Soda, Leon Kuwata, Sayaka Maizono and Sonia Nevermind

The group that has caught Korekiyo Shinguji is now standing outside of his room.

**Leon:** You think he's not gonna escape this time?

**Sayaka:** Not if that secret agent guy doesn't help him this time.

**Fuyuhiko:** Then we know what we gotta do. Seach for him!

**Kazuichi:** Searchin' for someone who's the Ultimate Secret Agent and has been hiding among us without bein' noticed is gonna be one hell of a challenge.

**Fuyuhiko:** But we must do it, damn it!

**Kazuichi:** Yeah...

**Sonia:** However, we cannot leave Korekiyo like that.

**Sayaka:** Yeah. If that guy comes again while we'll be searching for him, Korekiyo is going to kill another girl.

**Sonia:** Not only that, but we also must find some food for Korekiyo and feed him, at least 3 times a day.

**Kazuichi:** What?!

**Sonia:** If no one is going to do it, then Korekiyo will eventually die out of starvation or dehydration and we will be the culprits.

**Kazuichi:** Oh, true. That's so clever, as expected of Miss Sonia!

**Sayaka:** Then we need to split in 3 groups. Some of us will search for Yūto. And some will stay here in order to guard Korekiyo.

**Kazuichi:** I'm guardin' Kiyo with Miss Sonia then! If that secret agent guy comes here, I'll take care of him!

**Sonia:** Please do not kill him though.

**Kazuichi:** Roger that!

**Leon:** Then Sayaka and I are goin' to look for him.

**Fuyuhiko:** What the fuck?! That guy is good at hiding. And he might be small, but he's dangerous, just like me. That's why you need me in that group!

**Sayaka:** Besides, I'd rather go for food for Kiyo. I'm kinda scared of Yūto.

**Leon:** Damnit! Well, I tried, hahah.

**Sayaka:** Don't worry, it's enough for me that you're trying to prevent Korekiyo from killing me.

Kuwata smiles and leaves with Kuzuryu to search for Kamashiro, while Maizono goes for food.

### Kaede Akamatsu, Kaito Momota, Maki Harukawa and Shuichi Saihara

The group comes back together from a training, which was interrupted by a body announcement.

**Shuichi:** Sorry, looks like I didn't get to train much this time.

**Kaito:** I guess that's alright. Going to find everyone to tell 'em that Yūto Kamashiro is still alive counts as a physical activity too.

The group says goodbye to each other. The boys enter their room and find a note on the bed. The note is written by an anonymous author and is adressed for Shuichi. The author says that they found an important information that they must share with Saihara and tells him to go to the sauna because there are no security cameras inside, so the masterminds won't find out about it.

**Kaito:** What do you think about it, bro?

**Shuichi:** Hmm...I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being genuine, especially if someone like Byakuya wrote this. However, I must take caution. Someone saying that they have an important information and that they want to share it with me in a room with no cameras sounds suspicious, especially when the letter isn't signed by the author.

**Kaito:** Yeah.

**Shuichi:** Nonetheless, I want to check it out.

**Kaito:** Are you sure?

**Shuichi:** Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. I'll go with you, Kaede and Maki. There's a chance someone is planning to murder me there, but they won't stand a chance against all of us.

**Kaito:** Good idea, Shuichi! Let's go get the girls!

### Kazuichi Soda and Sonia Nevermind

Soda stands with his beloved princess in front of the door. He's sweating nervously. Maizono finally comes with the food.

**Sonia:** Kazuichi, since Korekiyo wants to kill a girl, perhaps it should be you who is going to feed him?

**Kazuichi:** Y-Yeah, that's right. Good idea, Miss Sonia!

Sayaka gives Kazuichi the food for Korekiyo and leaves. Meanwhile, Soda enters the room.

**Kazuichi: Dammit, this is my chance! I gotta show Miss Sonia that I'm brave! If not now, then when? Besides, Gundham already got to die a heroic death, gettin' rid of one of the hosts...I should get rid of one of the killers, especially a one that is a threat for Miss Sonia!**

The Ultimate Mechanic drops the food and takes out a wrench that he was always carrying with himself. Having heard the food being dropped, Sonia runs into the room.

**Sonia:** No!

She grabs Kazuichi's hand with which he is holding the wrench. A shocked Soda trips and falls on the Ultimate Princess, with his wrench hitting her forehead.

**Kazuichi:** Oh crap! No, no, no, no, no, no! Miss Sonia, are you alright?!

However, there is no response. It's already too late.

**Kazuichi:** Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!

A tied up Korekiyo speaks up.

**Korekiyo:** What a tragic irony of killing the person you love.

**Kazuichi:** Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!

**Korekiyo:** And whatever are you going to do now? You do realize that they are going to easily find out it was you, yes?

**Kazuichi:** Shut up, it was all because of you!

**Korekiyo:** I did not pull out a murder weapon and did not cause the fall though, yes?

**Kazuichi:** W-Whatever, I'm just gonna tell 'em it was you!

**Korekiyo:** Kukuku. Do you really believe they are going to fall for that? I am tied up, after all. Even if I did it, it would mean that you untied me.

**Kazuichi:** Shut up! You somehow untied yourself and did it! That's what they need to believe!

**Korekiyo:** And you let Miss Sonia inside? To feed a person who aimed to kill her?

**Kazuichi:** Th-That's right, Sayaka knows I entered the room to feed you...There's no way she'd believe Sonia came here...

**Korekiyo:** I see you are in a struggle, my friend. However, I promise to keep it a secret.

**Kazuichi:** Really? You're a good person, dude! W-Well, aside from killing the girls...

**Korekiyo:** Speaking of which, my only condition is that you untie me and let me out.

**Kazuichi:** What?! No way!

**Korekiyo:** Wouldn't it be in your interest to let me kill Sayaka Maizono? She knows that you came here to feed me and that Sonia wouldn't. The others don't know, yes?

**Kazuichi:** Th-That's true, they don't.

**Korekiyo:** And even though it would be unwise of a girl to feed me, even when I'm tied, the others did not know that you were the one to come inside, yes? They could believe Sonia was just unwise and came here, only to be killed by me.

**Kazuichi:** Y-Yeah...

**Korekiyo:** Then how about it? Do you agree to let me out?

**Kazuichi:** W-Well...

### Sauna

The group of Shuichi Saihara, Kaito Momota, Maki Harukawa and Kaede Akamatsu slowly enters the communal bathroom and stands in front of the door to the sauna. The glass on the door's window is misty, preventing from seeing what's inside.

**Shuichi:** Yet another proof it's a trap.

**Kaede:** Be careful, Shuichi.

Kaito and Maki stand on the left side to the door and Kaede stands on the right. Shuichi slowly opens the door. Immediately when he does it he notices...an enormous herd of flying insects blocking the view. Also immediately, two hands reach out from the herd, grab Shuichi and pull him inside. Shuichi and the others managed to identify those hands as Kokichi's and Nagito's, despite seeing them for a brief second.

**Shuichi:** AAAAAAAAAAAH!

*The trio runs up to the door, but the insects start spreading everywhere. Once they're spreaded enough for the trio to see the inside of the sauna, they witness a horrifying view. Three lifeless bodies of Shuichi Saihara, Nagito Komaeda and Kokichi Oma. Nagito and Kokichi are wearing duct tapes on their mouths. There are two bloody knives lying on the ground. Each of the body has been clearly stabbed with a knife in the chest, specifically the heart area.*

**Kaito:** What the...

**Maki:** I knew this was a trap, b-but...this...

**Kaede:** This is just too cruel!

### Korekiyo Shinguji

*Some time ago, the Ultimate Anthropologist was walking freely in the hallway thanks to his deal with Kazuichi Soda. He left his e-Handbook inside his room so that he wouldn't be found out. However, before he did that, he checked where Sayaka Maizono was on the map. It was her room. Korekiyo knocked on the door, but there was no response. He tried breaking inside with Kazuichi's wrench, only to find that the room was empty. Taking a wild guess, he headed to Leon's room, thinking Sayaka could be there. Right when he was about to knock on the door, his mission was interrupted by 3 body discoveries that played on every remaining participants' e-Handbooks. The body announcements, informing where to head in order to find them, were followed by yet another Monokuma's message, which announced the end of 5th round due to there being 3 killers already. Right after watching all messages, Leon and Sayaka ran out of his room, slamming Korekiyo with the door.*

### Investigation

*Korekiyo Shinguji is the last person to appear at the crime scene.*

**Sayaka:** Huh? Where did he come from? Didn't we tie him up inside his room?

**Korekiyo:** Now, now...Do you not think that having every person possible to help you investigate is a better idea? I might find some needed clue that someone else would overlook, yes?

**Kaede:** He's right, we need everyone's help, especially now that both Ultimate Detectives are gone.

**Sayaka:** B-But still...How? Who let you out?

**Korekiyo:** For someone experienced in rituals involving tying someone up with a rope, untying myself was a mere childplay for me.

**Sayaka:** Forget I asked.

*At the moment, the hosts appear at the crime scene.*

**Monokuma:** Now that everyone's at the crime scene, let me tell you one more thing...Congratulations! You killed another mastermind - Nagito Komaeda! You're getting closer and closer!

**Maki:** What about Kokichi? Wasn't he one of the masterminds?

**Monokuma:** Nope. He was offered this role, but refused to play along. What a shame, knowing him he could've easily made the game even more interesting! Anyway, get your Monokuma Files and do the investigation!

*Monokuma, Monomi and Monofunny handle the Monokuma Files to the remaining participants.*

**Chiaki:** I think I liked Monodam Files better.

**Monokuma:** Don't you dare start this topic, young lady!

**Chiaki:** I mean, this time Monokuma Files don't mention anything new. We could deduce the cause of death from their injuries and we would know the estimated time of death by asking Kaede, Kaito and Maki anyway.

**Monokuma:** Fine, if you're going to be this ungrateful for my hard work, I'll stop handling you Monokuma Files as of the next time! Let's see how good at investigating you guys will be without my help and the help of the Ultimate Detectives!

*An annoyed Monokuma leaves the crime scene, with Monofunny following him shortly after, and Monomi doing so reluctantly.*

**Sayaka:** Wait a minute...Didn't he say that with Korekiyo's appearance everyone was here and that's why he let us know about another mastermind's death and gave us the Monokuma Files?

**Leon:** Yeah, what about it?

**Sayaka:** Where's Sonia?

**Leon:** Oh crap, you're right!

*The Ultimate Mechanic starts sweating. Meanwhile, the group involved in Aoi's case checks Sonia's whereabouts on the map.*

**Sayaka:** She's in Korekiyo's room?!

**Leon:** You guys investigate here. Sayaka and I will check on her!

**Kazuichi:** W-Wait, let me go with you!

**Fuyuhiko:** Me too! I was involved in Aoi's case too, you know!

*The four participants run off to Korekiyo's room. As soon as they enter it, they trigger another body announcement.*

**Leon:** What the hell?!

**Sayaka:** Didn't she know Korekiyo would aim to kill her?!

**Kazuichi:** If only she hadn't come inside...

*Meanwhile, the investigation at the sauna continues.*

**Maki:** They died from being stabbed in the heart with a knife...We knew this much already.

**Kaito:** Yeah, it'd be better if it outright said who killed who!

**Kaede:** Well, at least we've seen their hands pulling Shuichi inside, which means they were still alive at this point...That's always something, right?

**Hajime:** We also know they must have taken those insects from somewhere, right?

**Maki:** Gonta's research lab is the most likely place. After all, thanks to Mr. Sakakura, we were able to get inside it, even though Gonta died earlier in the game.

**Chiaki:** This would also mean that Kokichi and Nagito planned this murder even before we left the Ultimate Academy.

**Juzo:** Yeah, but what about it? This doesn't tell us the important details! Dammit, without the Ultimate Detectives we're screwed!

*The group checks the crime scene carefully, but doesn't find any other useful clues, causing them to wish at least one of the Ultimate Detectives was still alive.*

### **Class Trial**

*The remaining participants are brought by the three hosts to the elevator and go down to the courtroom where the Class Trial is supposed to take place in Hope's Peak Academy. 16 participants get to stand in front of seats; those being Byakuya, Celestia, Chiaki, Hajime, Juzo, Kaede, Kaito, Kazuo, Kiyotaka, Korekiyo, Leon, Maki, Nagisa, Sayaka, Toko and the Ultimate Imposter. The other participants stand behind them.*

**Kazuichi:** Crap, this case is gonna be the hardest one yet. Even harder than that one of the Student Council!

**Fuyuhiko:** Stop complaining! At least we have witnesses to one of the cases.

**Sayaka:** Th-That's right! Fuyuhiko, Leon, Kazuichi, Sonia and I witnessed how Korekiyo took advantage of Hina's forbidden action and threw her into the swimming pool to kill her.

**Monokuma:** Correct! The culprit who killed Aoi Asahina was none other than Korekiyo Shinguji!

**Korekiyo:** You are not wrong about this. I am guilty of killing her. However, let me tell you that you are wrong about a certain other thing...There was one more witness of that crime.

**Sayaka:** What?

**Fuyuhiko:** Hey, bastard, what the hell are you trying to say?!

**Korekiyo:** How to put this...Are you sure there are no more hidden participants?

**Chihiro:** He's right. I believe Shuichi already let the others know about our discovery, right? On that list of forbidden actions, after changing the entire text's color, we were able to see two more names... We didn't rezognize one of them, but one of them was the name of...

**Korekiyo:** Yūto Kamishiro, the Ultimate Secret Agent, and a member of Class 77-A.

**Yūto:** It appears I've been finally discovered.

*Suddenly, Yūto Kamishiro comes closer to the seats. It's at that time when the others finally notice him.*

**Kazuichi:** Where the hell did this guy come from?!

**Yūto:** I was here the entire time. Not just now, but since the very beginning of the game.

**Imposter:** I know that no one noticed there were two Ryota Mitarais here before, but...How was it possible we didn't notice him before?

**Yūto:** Being able to hide well is just a part of my talent as the Ultimate Secret Agent. Being small and there still being quite a lot of us around here certainly helped me as well. Besides, like the other hidden participants, I wasn't marked on the map on your e-Handbooks. I'd say you not being able to notice there were two Ryota Mitarais here makes less sense.

**Imposter:** I guess he makes a point.

**Ryota:** Y-Yeah.

**Fuyuhiko:** Hey, bastard, earlier Kiyo told us that you were supposed to kill the guys from our group! Is that right?!

**Yūto:** Technically, yes. I did promise Korekiyo that I would do such a thing.

**Fuyuhiko:** Then how come you didn't? Not that I'm complaining about it, of course.

**Yūto:** You see, my plan was to expose Korekiyo's true nature to you guys.

**Korekiyo:** What?! You traitor!

**Yūto:** You see, I know none of you noticed me, but I was present at the rehearsals too. And unlike the others, I didn't leave the gym. That's how I got to witness how Korekiyo did it. That's right, I know you kinda ruled out the other possibilities and found out that he had to be behind Himiko and Mahiru's deaths, but I can confirm it.

**Korekiyo:** You little-!

**Yūto:** No point in being mad at me. They did rule out the other possible suspects and you were the most likely candidate left. They'd probably expose your crime at this trial anyway, even though both of the Ultimate Detectives are gone.

**Monokuma:** Oh yeah, while we're at it, that's true! Korekiyo Shinguji was behind Himiko Yumeno's and Mahiru Koizumi's deaths in the previous round!

**Fuyuhiko:** This motherfucker was a killer in two rounds!

**Leon:** Hey, so what was your plan to expose him, dude?

**Yūto:** Maybe first let's hear from him why he did what he did.

**Korekiyo:** Huh? Are you interested in my explanation? Very well then, now that I have been discovered and will soon be executed, I guess I may as well explain.

*The Ultimate Anthropologist begins explaining his motive.*

**Korekiyo:** For you see, I had a lover. People called it forbidden love, but we did not care. My lover was...my Sister. Unfortunately, my Sister was very sickly. She spent a lot of her life in hospital. This made her very lonely. I could be her brother and her lover, but I could not be her friend. And thus, she eventually died out of her sickness with no friends. This is why I made my new goal bringing her new friends. And since my Sister is now a ghost, her friends should be ghosts too, yes? This is why I kill girls who I think are worthy of becoming my Sister's friends. It took me a little time because I have met quite a few new girls in this game with whom I didn't get to interact much during our school days, or didn't interact prior at all.

**Maki:** You kill...for your dead sister?

**Yūto:** I knew he already killed two girls and expected he'd get after another two if he gets a chance. That's why I wanted to motivate him to do so, in order to get him caught in action. And I did that because I thought that...the girls would be thankful to me for saving them from this creep! Well, I wanted him to get caught before he'd be able to kill someone, so it kinda failed...B-But still, you guys caught him thanks to me. I can't wait for the girls to show their gratitude for me.

**Sayaka:** Ugh, where are Mahiru and Tenko when they're needed?

**Korekiyo:** I see, so this was your plan all along. Curse you, traitor! It is because of you that I have not been able to achieve my goal of getting 100 friends!

**Kazuichi:** What?

**Korekiyo:** Oh, right, I forgot to mention that part. I made it my goal to send 100 friends for my dear Sister. And I was so close to 100! Aoi Asahina was 99th friend for my Sister! I was so close! Only one more! I was just one away from completing my goal! If it wasn't for Yūto Kamashiro getting me caught like that!

**Sayaka:** Wait a minute, what about Sonia?

**Korekiyo:** Oops. Did I allow myself for a slip of a tongue?

**Fuyuhiko:** Are you trying to tell us you didn't kill her?! You expect us to believe it?! She was killed in your fucking room! Right after you untied yourself!

**Leon:** Kazuichi, I think you should be the one to finish this guy off. Well, you and Gundham, but he's not here anymore, so... Do it for Sonia.

*Soda starts sweating.*

**Kazuichi:** W-Well, you see...

**Leon:** Huh? Don't you want to avenge her? I thougt you were into her, man.

**Kazuichi:** Y-Yeah, but...

**Leon:** Come on, dude! For Sonia, you should be the one to expose Korekiyo's last murder! Shouldn't you want to punish her killer?

*The Ultimate Mechanic seems to be affected by those words and takes a deep.*

**Kazuichi:** You're right, I'll never be able to forgive Miss Sonia's killer. Which is why I gotta do what I gotta do!

**Leon:** That's the spirit! That's something Coach Nekomaru would say, right?

**Mikan:** R-Right.

**Kazuichi:** Yeah. And to avenge Miss Sonia's death, I'll expose her killer! The culprit of her case is...is...ME!

*Everyone except for Korekiyo gasps.*

**Leon:** You?! Weren't you like madly in love in her?!

**Kazuichi:** I was.

**Fuyuhiko:** Then why the fuck did you kill the person you loved?!

**Kazuichi:** I didn't want to, okay?! It was just an accident! I tried to kill Kiyo to save Miss Sonia from potential danger...She heard me and entered the room to prevent me from doin' so...I didn't expect that and tripped over in shock...I fell on her...With my wrench crushin' her forehead and killin' her...

**Leon:** Bro...

**Korekiyo:** A tragic irony at its finest, is it not?

**Monokuma:** Correct! Sonia Nevermind's killer was none other than her #1 stalker...Er, lover! Kazuichi Soda, the Ultimate Mechanic!

**Korekiyo:** It appears a tragic irony did not stop there. You see, I made a deal with Kazuichi right after that happened. I still had to kill one more girl, after all. I promised we'd lie that it was me who killed Sonia if he lets me out. It would be a believable lie. Naturally, neither of us would have to say so out loud during the trial. Other witnesses of my murder of Aoi would do it for us with no problem...Or so we thought. Anyway, Kazuichi was struggling with the decision, but ultimately his fear of death won and he let me out. With this, I was close to kill my next target - Sayaka Maizono.

**Sayaka:** M-Me?!

**Leon:** Sayaka?!

**Korekiyo:** Unfortunately for me and fortunately for Kazuichi, I did not manage to do it on time. Right when I was about to enter Leon's room, three body announcements have played, along with the announcement about the end of this round.

**Sayaka:** Wow...Looks like I had a lot of luck...

**Monokuma:** Speaking of which, it's time to move on to the last case of this round. The case of Shuichi Saihara, Nagito Komaeda and Kokichi Oma!

**Maki:** Is it? We still don't know how Korekiyo killed Himiko.

**Monokuma:** Is it important if there's a witness anyway?

**Maki:** Of course it is! It always is!

**Monokuma:** Fine then. Korekiyo? Witness? Want to explain it?

**Korekiyo:** I guess I can. I have been caught already anyway. You see, I learned the trick of Himiko's piranha tank while building it for her rehearsal. After everyone left when the hosts' rehearsal started, I waited a bit, and returned to the gym. Monodam didn't want to let me in at first, but I told him it was about the killing game. You see, there was a way for Himiko to escape from the tank by a small passagweay hidden inside the stairs. I figured that if I used the hosts to block the passageway, she'd be unable to leave the tank on time.

**Hajime:** Wait, doesn't that count as the hosts technically killing her? Weren't they supposed not to get involved in the killings?

**Korekiyo:** They were and they kept their word. You see, the hosts are still objects, so it can be counted as me using them as my weapon. Besides, they turned off their AI chips. Well, Monodam originally didn't want to, but I told him murders and Class Trials are necessary for everyone to work together and thus get along with each other better. Monomi wasn't convinced so Monokuma turned off her AI chip for her. Once they were turned off, I placed them in the passageway. They were of perfect size to successfuly block Himiko's way out and for her to be unable to move them aside. Oh, and the hosts who performed during our talent show were just new spares created in some secret room about which even I did not know.

**Monokuma:** Alright, now that it's been explained, we can finally move to the last case! Let's see if you can solve this mystery!

**Kaede:** You seem quite passionate about us solving this case...

**Hajime:** Can we even solve it? Both of the Ultimate Detectives are gone...

**Kaito:** It doesn't matter that we're not the Ultimate Detectives! We still gotta solve this case! We owe it to them!

**Maki:** Yeah. But unfortunately, this case is full of mysteries. There are very things we can be certain of.

**Monokuma:** Then just mention all of them! Perhaps a clue lies somewhere in there?

**Kaede:** Seriously, what is your deal?

**Maki:** For the starters, both Nagito and Kokichi wore duct tapes...Possibly so we wouldn't hear them scream in pain. Then there are the insects that, along with the mist, blocked the view. There were so many of them...There's only one place where they could take them from that I can think of...Gonta Gokuhara's research lab. It's not like accessing it despite Gonta's death was a problem thanks to Mr. Sakakura breaking the door of every research lab whose owner died.

**Yasuhiro:** Yeah, but his lab is back at the Ultimate Academy, right?

**Chiaki:** That shouldn't be a problem. Monokuma confirmed Nagito was one of the masterminds, right? I think as a mastermind he was allowed to bring all of Gonta's insect cages with himself to Hope's Peak Academy.

**Monokuma:** That's right! He said that he was planning to use them for his murder, so I and the other masterminds allowed it. It's not like any of you would notice all those cages while sleeping anyway.

**Yasuhiro:** If he brought all those cages with himself and planned the murder, then he should be the killer, right?

**Maki:** But Kokichi was also there. Kaito, Kaede and I saw hands of both of them reaching out from the sauna for Shuichi...Kokichi could have been the killer as well.

**Kaito:** Yeah, both were standing right by the entrance to the sauna, so despite all the mist and all of the insects, they knew where to aim for once they took Shuichi inside.

**Chiaki:** Wait a minute, isn't this the main problem with this case?

**Kaito:** Huh? What do you mean?

**Kaede:** She's right! The fact that the witnesses weren't able to see anything...The fact that such a huge horde of insects was used to cover as much view as possible...The fact that the mist was present to cover the view as well...And finally the fact that the murder took place in sauna where there are no security cameras...Nagito and Kokichi aimed to create a mystery where deducing who killed who would be impossible!

**Fuyuhiko:** Those motherfuckers tried to get us killed at the Class Trial!

**Kaede:** No, I don't think that's it...

**Fuyuhiko:** Huh? Why?

**Kaede:** At worst, they'd get a few of us killed for the wrong answer, right? I could understand going to all this trouble to kill us if it meant killing everyone of us, but since only the person who accusses someone incorrectly is punished, I don't think that was they goal...

**Chiaki:** That's right...And besides, you already mentioned they chose a place where the cameras were absent as well...They didn't aim to create an unsolvable case just for us...They aimed to create an unsolvable case for Monokuma as well!

**Monofunny:** Hey, don't forget about me and Auntie Monomi!

**Kaede:** I see...So that's why Monokuma wanted us to solve this case so badly...

**Monokuma:** Wh-What do you mean I wanted you guys to...It's a case that can be easily solved!

**Kaito:** Oh really? Then do it!

**Monokuma:** What is this tone, young man?! Solving cases is your job! I can't interfere!

**Kaito:** You can't interfere because of the rules? Or because you don't know who killed who in this case either?

**Monokuma:** Wh-What? O-Obviously I know...If you guys can't figure it out then it's not my problem!

**Celestia:** Kokichi may be gone, but I have a talent of telling when someone lies too. And your statement was clearly a lie.

**Monokuma:** F-Fine, I may not know it, but it doesn't mean this mystery is unsolvable! Come on, use your heads! Nagito was the one to bring those insect cages with himself, right? Therefore, he must be the killer!

**Maki:** But he can't be the only killer. Otherwise, you'd have to punish him for killing more than 2 people. And if he indeed was the only killer, this would confirm you didn't know what happened in there either.

**Monokuma:** B-But...His wristband was broken! There was no way I could punish him no matter what. Juzo is the same way in this regard!

**Monomi:** Hey, aren't you forgetting something?

**Monokuma:** Hm?

**Monomi:** The cameras showed that it was Kokichi was the one who talked to Nagito and then they left to the secret passageway for the masterminds back at the Ultimate Academy. So Kokichi must have been the one to come up with the plan.

**Monokuma:** Oh right...So Kokichi was the killer then!

**Maki:** You're changing your story now? This just further proves you have no idea what happened there.

**Monokuma:** Tch!

**Maki:** It's true all three could have been killed by the same person. If it was Kokichi, you should've been able to punish him for killing more than 2 people. But still, it was possible Nagito and Kokichi stabbed themselves and only one of them killed Shuichi. Or that they both stabbed Shuichi...Heck, since they took Shuichi's hands, they could have also put their knives in his hand and kill him with his own hands. They could even stab themselves with his hands.

**Kaede:** That's right. Nagito and Kokichi wore duct tapes on their mouths not just so we wouldn't hear them scream...But also to prevent us from knowing the order of their deaths because it could give a clue as to who was killed by who...Although even then we wouldn't be entirely sure about it.

**Hajime:** See, Monokuma? It's not just that you don't know what happened, but much like us, you can't deduce who killed who.

**Ryota:** If Monokuma doesn't know either, t-then this part of the trial doesn't count, right?

**Kazuichi:** Yeah! The whole trial shouldn't count!

**Monokuma:** Fine, I accept my defeat. There's no way to correctly tell who killed who exactly in this case. Besides, you guys know that it had to be someone among the three victims of this case and that's true for sure. And I can't execute any of them because they already died. But you know, Ryota is actually right. It doesn't mean the entire trial doesn't count. Aoi's and Sonia's cases were separate cases and you guys managed to solve them. It's only the case of Shuichi, Nagito and Kokichi's murder that doesn't count!

**Kazuichi:** Well, that didn't change much, did it?

**Kaito:** Wait a minute, that's true...Sure, this part of the trial got cancelled, but was it worth all this trouble Nagito and Kokichi went into? Was it worth the lives of three people?

**Byakuya:** Indeed. Especially since we already have Korekiyo and Kazuichi who are going to be executed anyway and whom we'd force to accuse someone had this mystery been actually possible to solve. What was Nagito and Kokichi's objective then?

**Hajime:** Knowing Nagito, he probably just wanted to create a scenario where the regular participants and the masterminds' hopes would face off...I don't think he was entirely on the masterminds' side. He just used that role to have advantage and be allowed to create a scenario like that.

**Maki:** Hmm, I could believe that Kokichi had malicious intentions, but something indeed seems off...He always wanted to win the games he was playing...

**Kaito:** I see! That damn bastard was trying to ruin Monokuma's game! I'm sure he believed a case that the hosts and masterminds can't solve wouldn't result in just cancelling part of the trial...but ruining the whole game!

**Monokuma:** Really? Looks like you know your friends so well. Upupu! If that was indeed the case, then how despair-inducing this must be! Kokichi aimed to end my game like that, but all his plan managed to achieve was cancelling only a part of Class Trial! Upupupu! And I bet Nagito would be disappointed too! You guys managed to figure out it was an unsolvable mystery so fast that this showdown between the participants and the masterminds' hopes wouldn't be satisfying for him! Upupupupu!

**Kaito:** Shut up! They still achieved something! They still beat you at your own game!

**Monokuma:** Maybe. But it was only just a little and not to the point they expected. Poor Nagito, Kokichi and Shuichi! Wasted their lives like that! Upupupu! And the game continues despite all their effors and sacrifices! Speaking of which, you know what time it is! It's PUNISHMENT TIME!

### Executions

**Monokuma:** Let's give it everything we've got! I've prepared a very special punishment for the Ultimate Anthropologist, Korekiyo Shinguji, and the Ultimate Mechanic, Kazuichi Soda!

*Monokuma exclaims as Monofunny and Monomi lead everyone aside from the two soon-to-be executed participants to the exit.*

**ULTIMATE ANTHROPOLOGIST'S EXECUTION**
Korekiyo Shinguji is hanging a bit above the ground tied up with ropes. Monokuma and his daughter start spinning him around while Monomi watches in agony. After a while, the two hosts stop, noticing Korekiyo actually enjoyed his torture. Seeing this, they open a hole in the ground and cut Shinguji's ropes. The Ultimate Anthropologist falls down, eventually landing in a huge pot filled with water. Monokuma and Monofunny start throwing wood at the fire under the pot, boiling Korekiyo alive. Shinguji mutters in his last moments "*I'm coming, Sister*".

**ULTIMATE MECHANIC'S EXECUTION**
Monokuma and Monofunny tie up Kazuichi Soda with ropes and duct tape and place him inside a drilling machine. As soon as the door to the machine is closed, Monokuma turns it on. The machine starts drilling and goes under the floor. It's going down for quite a while, eventually reaching the center of the Earth, where both Soda's body and the machine melt due to the heat.

### Post-executions

*The remaining survivors watch the executions in terror on the monitor, as always. Once the executions end, the three hosts appear.*

**Monokuma:** Yahooo! Extreme!

*No responses.*

**Monokuma:** Hey, why the sad faces? Is it because this round was filled with tragedies? You know, how Yūto failed to stop Korekiyo from killing another girl? How Kiyo was only one girl away from completing his goal of giving his Sister 100 friends? How Kazuichi accidentally killed the person he loved and got executed for it? How Nagito and Kokichi tried to ruin my game and sacrificed their and Shuichi's life for it, only for it to cancel just a part of this Class Trial? Upupupupu!

*The participants are too tired or sad to react. However, someone else does.*

**Monomi:** I won't let you!

**Monokuma:** Huh?

**Monomi:** Nagito and Kokichi sacrificed their lives to end your disgusting game! Sure, they failed, but I'm not going to let you get away with everything and continue your game as if nothing happened!

**Monokuma:** And what are you planning to do?

*Monomi hugs Monofunny.*

**Monofunny:** Aw, thank you, Auntie Monomi...Wait a minute...Don't tell me you want to-

**Monomi:** If Nagito and Kokichi could do it, then so can I!

*Monomi turns on her self-destruction function. The explosion of the bomb inside her is strong enough to also destroy Monofunny's body, especially since Monomi had her in her arms. Monokuma on the other hand is only hit with the flying remains of his last co-hosts.*

**Monokuma:** Monofunny! Damn you, Monomi! Fine, whatever! I can host this game alone! I don't need any help! Others would just slow me down!

*However, the only remaining host's monologue is soon interrupted by Juzo Sakakura.*

**Juzo:** Alright, now's my chance! This time you won't escape to your secret hiding location!

**Monokuma:** Just what do you think you're doing?!

**Juzo:** I'm done runnin' away! I'm gonna do something I should've done a long time ago!

**Monokuma:** P-Please don't! Don't you realize what will happen if all of the hosts are destroyed?! Remember that rule about the game taking place where the hosts are?!

**Juzo:** So what? I already made up my mind! Besides, there are still a few masterminds left, right? I don't think they need mascots to host the game. And your remains will technically still be here!

**Monokuma:** N-No, no, no, wait!

*However, Sakakura doesn't listen and throws Monokuma against a wall with all his strength. The robotic body gets destroyed in the impacts, with some parts of it landing exactly amongst the remains of Monofunny and Monomi's body.*

**Ending Song**

**END OF CHAPTER 5
