1st person POV:
The next day the moment I wake up I immediately hear some groaning.
"Oi, what happened?? Chiaki, Monomi!"
I immediately check up both of them are in a strange state.
"uojahi71728))"
"What? This is... The glitch??"
Now I notice surrounding there are glitches for real.
Why is it here? It appeared in the game too... Actually why did it appear in the game at the first place?
I open the menu and try to fix Chiaki and Monomi's state.
After a while I manage to restore them back to normal.
"Oi, are you two okay?"
"Onigawara-kun... What is happening?? Why is everywhere..."
"The end of this world is near, it seems that stupid bear did something again. Ok there, Chiaki?"
"Yeah... More importantly we should go and meet up with everyone now."
"Alright let's go."
We immediately leave the cottage it seems everyone has left as well and something really is preventing us from approaching the restaurant.
"Not good, it seems that we can't go through now."
"Heh?? Then what should we do??"
"...Let's go to the ruin, everyone must have known this too and go to there."
"Wait? How do they know?"
"Monokuma's message to the ruin that is what the paper here said."
"Yeah!"
When we get there it is true that everyone is all there.
"Onigawara-san, Nanami-san and Monomi-san too you are all here!!" Sonia says
"Good, everyone is here now. Monokuma show up!!" Twogami shouts
"I'm here!! It seems that you guys are all here then??"
"No kidding what is happening with the island??" Souda yells
"It is gift of mine of course, anyway Togami-kun you have checked the clock earlier and it has reached 0 meaning the school trip has ended now!!"
"So what? Hurry up with your graduation exam or whatever!!" Fuyuhiko yells
"Keep calm boss baby, the test will take place inside the ruin right here."
"Then shouldn't you open the door?" Mahiru asks
"No! There is someone among you guys know the password already! I don't need to do that!!"
"Wait someone in here?? How??" Hajime asks
"Just watch!!"
Ok so it's my job now I guess.
I step forward to the door.
"Onigawara? What are you doing?"
"Entering the password?"
"When did...?"
"The password is inside the Nezumi Castle I just broke it open."
"So that was why Monokuma forbidded to enter that place..." Twogami says
"Anyway you know the password right? Hurry and enter it! I don't want to stay in this strange place any longer!"
"Yeah."
The password is something I can't forget after all. That is right...
I press the button forming the number 511111. I don't know what is its meaning at first but when I notice there is a line right between the second and third number I know it 511111 standing for SHIN. What the hell? I really destroyed the 11037 meme, damn it!!
The door opens after that and we are all covered in light.
So after the second light, I open my eyes and wake up inside a classroom.
What a nostalgic feeling I guess... This is the place where everything started after all.
"Yo ho!! Feeling nostalgic Onigawara-kun?" Monokuma appears
"Enoshima, what do you want?"
"Nothing, I'm just here to meet my friend or more exactly once being my friend."
"Listen I'm not him, and you are not the real Enoshima either, so you can't say like that."
"Oh! How cruel! How about becoming friends now then?"
"You will be destroyed at the end anyway..."
"You mean the Shut Down Sequence? Of course I know that is your only way to let the others return to the real world. And its condition can be easily activated now, but that is why we have a deal right?"
"Sure, we have."
"Anyway the others are in the gym now so go!"
"Then what are you here for??"
"Silly you, I just want to give you a bit of information you may have known before."
"Information I haven't known?"
"Of course it's about your upperclassmen, class 76th. You want to know about their situation right?"
"...What is it?"
"That is... Drag you body and find it on your own dumbass!! There is no way I will just tell you!!"
"Fair enough..."
"Also your menu is a bit annoying so I locked it."
"What the..."
"I don't know what you will pull next with it after all so I locked it, simple right?"
"Tch... Fine, anything more?"
"Of course! No."
"I should have known that you are like this from the start... See ya later, dimwit!"
And this time I am the last one to arrive at the gym just like the previous time I guess.
"Yo! Still alive?"
"Geez... You are so late like before." Mahiru says
"Sorry sorry, I just got a bit lost."
"Anyway, where is Monokuma?"
"I'm here!! Hellooooo!! How does it feel to return to long waited Hope's Peak Academy??"
"Hey, where are we?? Where'd you lock us up this time??" Akane asks
"What a shock... I just told you guys this is Hope's Peak Academy...!!
"There is no way in hell that is true!!" Souda yells
"Oh, but it is... I mean, this is definitely Hope's Peak Academy. Well what is left of it anyway..."
"Assuming this is really Hope's Peak Academy, what is your purpose of telling us to come here?" Twogami asks
"Hey! You can't just assume thing like that!!" Souda says
"But in this situation we have no choice but believe it." Peko says
"Pekoyama-san and Togami-san are right so please listen to them Souda-san." Sonia says
"Well... If you say so..."
Too easy. I bet that is what everyone is thinking right now.
"Anyway as Togami-kun said, it's fine to hurry along to the graduation exam, but it is in my nature to provide entertainment."
"Entertainment... You are planning to make is do something aren't you...?" Hajime asks
"It's nothing to be cautious about. It's not like you will be making life exchanges or anything like that."
It is, you stupid bear!!
"Then what is the so called graduation exam then?" Hiyoko asks
"Well, as the headmaster, I'm conflicted, you know. On one hand, I'm really happy that you are finally going to graduate..."
"But on the other hand, I'm worried about whether you guys will be okay in the outside world. That's why I'm thinking about telling you what the outside world is like before you make a decision. Whether you wanna leave Jabberwock Island...or stay here..."
"Huh?" Everyone confuses
"We're obviously gonna get out! There's no way we'd stay here!"
"This is annoying! Just hurry up and let us choose! Let us choose right now!"
"You can't do that. The main cast hasn't arrived yet."
"Main cast?"
"Meaning...you guys are just extras until the guest of honor arrives. So enough complaining already! Hurry up and start researching the outside world!
"Wh-What do you mean...!?"
"I have dispersed all the teaching materials you need for your research throughout Hope's Peak Academy. Well, I don't think this needs to be said, but... All the information is accurate and contains no lies whatsoever. Otherwise the main cast is gonna hate me."
"Soooo please rest assured and strive to do your best during your field trip!"
"Wh-What is going on? Outside world...? Main cast...? Somehow...I have a bad feeling about this."
"Also, how'd we make it back to Hope's Peak Academy from a tropical island in the first place...? It's impossible..." Fuyuhiko says
"There is no place for Hope's Peak Academy to exist on Jabberwock Island." Sonia adds in
"I said I wanted to go back, but I don't wanna go back to a creepy place like this!" Souda yells
"I don't see anything strange though? This is what we normally do right? Investigating the place?" Nagito says
"It is... But this is..."
"It seems that Monokuma is even more mysterious than we thought." Twogami says
"Just what the heck is Monokuma anyway? He's not part of the Future Foundation, right?" Souda says
"Yes that is what he said before..." Mikan agrees
"If you say that...then what is the Future Foundation?"
"The Future Foundation is responsible for trapping us on this island, right? Regarding that matter...I believe Monomi never once denied that." Chiaki says
"Wait actually where is Monomi?" I ask
"Oni-chan is right! Monomi-chan is not here!!"
"But she entered with us right?" Teruteru asks
"Maybe she got caught by Monokuma already." Twogami says
"But what for?" Nekomaru asks
"Cause she knows everything I guess." Nagito says
"Wait actually we forgot the traitor thing this whole time right?" Mahiru says
"Well there is no kill so we don't really mind it that much." Peko adds in
There was supposed but ok whatever.
"Based on what Monokuma said, the traitors are from the Future Foundation but they haven't made any move so is it safe to assume they are on our side?" Hajime asks
"No... The Future Foundation trapped us here, they can't be trusted yet." Mahiru says
"Even if they're our allies...they might not just be allies...!" Akane holds her head
"Then maybe Monokuma is telling us to investigate that information on our own." Hajime says
"So in the end we still come back to the whole graduation exam thing." Hiyoko says
"Then all we need to do now is simple right? Overcome this graduation exam and go home together." I say
"Onigawara is right, we are almost there after all, everything missing will be solved after our last investigate." Twogami says
"Well... Then should we split up to investigate? That will be faster." Nagito offers
"I think it will be wise to split into groups we don't know what Monokuma is gonna do after all." Peko adds in
"How about 4 groups then?" Chiaki asks
"It's enough I guess." Twogami agrees
"Well then it's easy to divide!! My Four Dark Devas choose the fateful teams!!"
"Oi, why are you?? Why is the hamster pulling me down??" Souda yells
After a bit chaos situation let's just say that we finish.
"Well then let's go on and investigate everything you can!!" Twogami says out loud
"Yeah!!"
[INVESTIGATION TIME]
[Start]
Hajime: Why are we in one team...? Isn't this a bit coincidental?
Shin: Who knows, let's just go.
Nagito: We should get along right?
Chiaki: I still think it is your work, Komaeda-kun...
Nagito: Maybe...
Shin: No sh*t it's definitely your doing nice way to use your luck!
Hajime: Anyway where should we go? Onigawara stop being toxic for a second will you?
Shin: I'm not!!
Nagito: You are, you just lost me the last Monopoly match after all.
Shin: Don't just straight up tell the truth!! Just a bit more that I won!
Hajime: Let's just gom everyone has gone already.
Chiaki: Yeah Hinata-kun is right.
Shin: Whatever let's go Nagito.
Nagito: Yeah.
We open the gym's door.
Hajime: What? Where are we now?
Chiaki: And the surrounding is glitching again...
Nagito: This is really strange...
Shin: Anyway let's start with this super big door right here.
Chiaki: This is a dojo...
Hajime: That target seems pretty far away. If the production team had had more time, there could've been a mini-game here... Wait, what am I saying?
Shin: Stop breaking the fourth wall Hinata-san, that is my job not yours.
Nagito: I think I found something.
Hajime: What is it?
Nagito: Each of the lockers here has lock of their own!
Hajime: Is that it?
Nagito: Well there is a manga on the floor but that is normal right?
Hajime: No it's not!!
Shin: Ok stop you two can argue as much as you want after all of this are finished.
Chiaki: Is this it, Komaeda-kun?
Nagito: Yeah it is.
Hajime: What is it? 'Manga for Morons! A History of Hope's Peak Academy by Monokuma'??"
Shin: Sound like a name of a third-rated manga with a fourth-rated plot.
Monokuma: How dare you say that??
Hajime: Anyway just read it for now.
Shin: You guys read it I won't read a book with that stupid name.
Monokuma: Hey!!
I know what is inside anyway so gotta skip it to find more important things.
Junko said it earlier about the V3 gang's information hidden in this place. So she must have put it in where I go, and the most suspicious thing here is the locker for sure.
I open all of the lockers, and as expected there are something sticking on the locker's doors. I take it out and look.
A video tape... Let's see, it has the number #1 on it. It seems that I should spend more time looking into it later.
<Mysterious video tape> has been added to your truth bullet section (and locked for now)
I put the tape inside my coat then go back to the others.
Shin: How is it?
Hajime: It is saying about the Hope's Peak Academy's Reserve Department.
Nagito: I have heard about it before, the Reserve Department as the manga says, it's just a method for the Hope's Peak to have more funds but I didn't know what they want to do with it.
Nagito:...Wait. Monokuma come out!
Monokuma: Here am I!!
Nagito: I heard it before that you erased our school life's memories right?
Monokuma: Sure I didn't do that! Blame the future foundation!
Nagito: Still only our school life's memories are lost right?
Monokuma: Fine, yes you are right.
Nagito: Then... How about Hinata-kun? Why did he forget his talent too?
Monokuma: Who knows??
Nagito:...
Hajime: Komaeda what do you mean?
Nagito: It's just my guess but if you don't have something from the start you can't forget it.
Chiaki: You mean Hinata-kun is a Reserve Course student?
Hajime: It can't be!! If I'm not an Ultimate why am I here in the first place with you guys??
Nagito: Maybe I'm wrong.
Shin: (No, you are right, you are too smart Nagito.)
Chiaki: Anyway Monokuma left it here so the Reserve Course should be involved in this somehow let's keep this in our mind.
Hajime:...Yeah.
<Reserve Department> has been added to the truth bullet section
<Hajime's memory loss> has been added to the truth bullet section
Shin: Well we should go now, although the scenery is beautiful but we gotta move.
Hajime: Sure...
We leave the dojo and head to the only classroom doesn't have the glitch.
Hajime: Actually now I think about it, what are we seeing right now?
Chiaki: It looks like glitches in games.
Shin: No idea, it's like we are not in the real world anymore.
Hajime: Of course we are in the real world, where else we can be?
Nagito:...I wonder about that.
Hajime: What is it, Komaeda?
Nagito: No nothing probably my imagination.
Shin: Anyway this is just a normal classroom nothing is unusual.
Nagito: It's a bit similar to where I as well as the other wake up I guess.
Hajime: Yeah...
Chiaki: Look! It's a manga again!
Shin: What did it say this time?
Hajime: Manga for Morons! The Tragedy of Hope's Peak Academy.
Nagito: The Tragedy... It was mentioned in the previous one as well... What could happen to such an academy of hope.
Shin: Maybe some despair sh*t cause it is too hopeful.
Nagito: What?
Shin: Nothing let's just read it.
.
Hajime:... A-Are we supposed to believe this? There's no way thirteen people were killed at Hope's Peak Academy...
Nagito: Kamakura Izuru...
Chiaki: Did you notice something Komaeda-kun?
Nagito: As I remember that is the founder of Hope's Peak Academy's name but now it is the Ultimate Hope's name... Even though... I am really curious about the Ultimate Hope, he must have his reason to kill the 13 students is it for the sake of hope I wonder?
Chiaki: Komaeda-kun...?
Nagito:...Sorry, I was back to my old self just now right?
Hajime: Return to the original topic, does this Ultimate Hope guy even exist? I mean having multiple talents...
Shin: Anything can be it Hinata-san.
Hajime: But... Wait, what are you doing there?
Shin: Searching around for more clues, don't worry I heard all of that. Beside killing 13 Ultimates is just a piece of cake to the Ultimate Hope.
Monnokuma: Exactly! What irony! For a genius known as the Ultimate Hope to cause such a gruesome incident... A talent like that is too regal for society... It's like trying to buy juice with a bar of gold!
Hajime: Monokuma?? What are you...?
Nagito:...
Monokuma: No reaction? I expect more from you.
Nagito: Me? What did you just say?
Monokuma: Argh!! I'm out!
Nagito: What did he just say?
Chiaki: Let's just ignore that for now.
Nagito: If you say so... We are finished in this room?
Shin: Yeah, nothing else is left now.
Nagito: Then we should move to the next place.
Hajime: Ok...
<Tragedy of Hope's Peak> has been added to the truth bullet section
.
Hajime: Wh-What the hell is with this room!? It's freaking cold in here!
Nagito: This is the bio lab it seems...
Hajime: We should hurry and investigate this place then! It's so cold!
I approach the refrigerator side. This place... It is very suspicious, maybe I will look through it a bit.
Hajime: Ah, I 've seen this in movies before. It's a refrigerator for preserving dead bodies. At least, that's what it looks like, but that's not possible, right? Keeping dead bodies in a high school bio lab isn't something you should joke about. It just feels so forced. This idea should have been cancelled during development or something...
Shin: The second time already!! Stop! That is my job not yours!!
Hajime: Huh? What was I saying just now?
Shin: Whatever...
Hajime: Why are you looking through all of them?
Shin: Who knows? There may be some corpses in here.
Hajime: Some corpses??
Shin: Just kidding, no one died anyway.
Hajime: Don't just scare me like that.
Shin: (Oh it is here)
I take out another video tape from the refrigerator.
Shin: (Still... What can this thing do? Maybe I can find the A/V room later.)
Chiaki: I found another manga.
Hajime: Finally... Let's read that quickly and get out of this place...
Nagito:...
I look at Nagito and he is not looking ok at all.
Shin: Are you ok?
Nagito: No... It is just...
Shin: (Is it because of the room's temperature?) Hey... I don't think you are alright want to head out first, Nanami-san and Hinata-san can fill us about the manga later.
Nagito: Sorry to be your burden then...
Shin: It is ok, I know your condition is not normal after all, we will head out first then.
Chiaki: Sure, we will come out later.
We leave the room and...
Nagito: This place...
Shin: Huh? We are in the fifth floor just now...
Nagito: Maybe it is like before when we got transferred to another section of the school.
Shin: (Strange... We still have another room to go on the 5th floor... And this is the dormitory 's 2nd floor...)
Nagito: Onigawara-kun?
Shin: Nothing let's go and look around then.
Nagito: Yeah...
We go until we reach a room that can be entered.
Shin: This is... The headmaster's room.
Nagito:...How can you know?
Shin: Just guessing, beside I don't think a student can get a room this big with a computer right there.
Nagito: You are right, let's search around this, I feel better now.
We spend some time looking around the room then I find a file on the bookself.
Shin: (This is... It has the Future Foundation's logo on it.)
I open the first page. The Ultimate Despair....
I immediately close the book. Is this the freaking prize from the Funhouse? Goddamnit if Nagito sees this I don't think it will be good. But... Maybe I will just let him see the later student's profile.
Shin: Oi Nagito, I found something.
Nagito: What is it?
Shin: A file.
Nagito: It even has Future Foundation's logo on it, we should read it then.
Shin: Sure, I have checked the first part and it is just some reports that we don't know the second part is more important.
Nagito: This is... The students's profile.
Shin: Exactly, all 16 of you guys have information here.
Nagito: Let's see, maybe we can figure out Hinata-kun's talent with this? He will be very happy!
Shin:...About that. Look.
Nagito:...He is a Reserve Course student?
Shin: Yeah as the file states here.
Nagito: That explains why he didn't remember his talent, he didn't even have one to begin with... So he is one as well.
Shin: One?
Nagito: A Reserve Course student spent much money to be in the famous Hope's Peak but in the end the talentless is still talentless, that fact can't be changed easily...
Shin: Your point?
Nagito: So that is why I feel that we are similar...
Shin: Ok, I won't wait for you to speak a f**king essay to explain that, I will stop it right there, Hinata-san being a Reserve Course doesn't change the fact that he is your friend, he is not similar to you. He is different...
Nagito:...
Shin: Beside you are not like before now, you are a real Ultimate. Hinata-san may be a Reserve Course student but he accomplished the Hope Fragment goal at first for sure, something an Ultimate can't do that quickly so see he is not really a normal one either. Also he doesn't have a hope fetish or whatever.
Nagito:...You are right I guess. It is a bit disappointed to deliver the news to Hinata-kun but it is alright.
Shin: Anyway, that is it.
Nagito: That is all? I don't think Monokuma just threw some random file like that in here.
Shin: He can, remember the movie before.
Nagito: Ah, ok I understand now, I don't want to remember such a hopeless thing.
<Hajime's identity> has been updated in the truth bullet section
<Mysterious file> has been added in the truth bullet section
Shin: Anyway, let's try access the computer then.
Nagito: It is a hacker's speciality then!
Shin: Exactly!
I just mess with the computer for a bit then open the only file in there.
Nagito: Only 1 file?
Shin: Let's see what is inside then...
I open the file.
Nagito: It seems it is an email.
Shin: Sound so fishy...
Dear the one and the only true Ultimate Despair,
The plan has been set in motion, we all followed the order of you or more specifically your Alter Ego and successfully kidnap all 16 students of class 76th and we are preparing for the killing game as you commanded, by the time you recieved this you would have set the killing game there in motion already so we will send footage of the killing game in this place to you as soon as possible.
All for the sake of despair,
******** *****
Nagito: This is... Another killing game at the same time in this place?
Shin: (It is clear now... But if it is hosted right now, am I too late now? Don't kidding with me... Even a promise this time I can't finish it again??)
Nagito: Onigawara-kun?
Shin: W-what?
Nagito: Are you ok? You are repeatedly slamming your hand on the table.
I hold back my hand. Calm down, it's... No, it's not okay at all. I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed!!!
?????: You really think like that?
Shin: Who??
Nagito: Onigawara-kun? There is only me here.
Shin: (What was that voice just now? It really makes me calm down a bit...)
Nagito:...
Shin: No, it's nothing... I'm just shocked that there is another killing game right now...
Nagito: Yeah, more importantly they say something about here about the Ultimate Despair.
Shin: The keyword is "True" that means there are more than one.
Nagito:...That is right, Hinata-kun once told me about finding information in a small laptop about a group of high school students destroy the world, could it be the case?
Shin: Yeah, it is all connected. And I will assume the one mentioned in the gmail their leader or something.
Nagito: Agree it fits.
Shin: Let's just wait for full information to understand who are they.
Nagito: Yeah.
<The Ultimate Despair> has been added to the truth bullet section
<Mysterious email> has been added to the truth bullet section (and locked for now)
Shin: (I should focus on what is ahead now. Maybe there is still a chance left.) Let's leave this place for now.
When we leave the headmaster's room ahead of us was the 3rd floor.
Nagito: It seems we got teleported again...
Shin: This is getting kinda annoying... The glitch is preventing us from going into other room too...
Nagito: There is a room opening here.
We enter the recreation room, of course I can't forget this place, I almost f**king die in this place after all.
Nagito: This is... Something weird.
Shin: Of course it is weird it's not a normal thing to see message on air.
Nagito: Let's see... Regarding the report we gave you the other day... We have finally succeeded in acquiring them and have placed them in our care. Though they were all dispersed, we were successful in acquiring all 15 of them. Due to the fact that we are unable to ask them about specific details, it is unknown how they managed to survive The Tragedy. It's been reported that some are wounded, so it seems certain that they survived under harsh conditions. Over the course of our detailed investigation, we determined that they are the same age as the others, so we have decided to entrust them to the survivors of the killing school life.
Nagito: As for the Remnants of Despair, there are still no solid leads regarding this matter, and we have no new information to report. We will continue with the investigation. Once they are discovered, we shall eliminate them immediately. Everything is for the sake of a future filled with hope.
Nagito: 15 survivors... 17 subtracts 2 traitors from Future Foundation it seems it will be the correct number.
Shin: That means you guys may be the survivors... And some guys are the Remnant of Despair or something.
Nagito: Remnant of Despair... I wonder if they are related to the Ultimate Despair.
Shin: It is obvious they are.
<Remnant of Despair> has been added to the truth bullet section
<The Academy's survivors> has been added to the truth bullet section
?????: Heh?? Komaeda-san and Onigawara-san??
Shin: Huh? Tsumiki-san and... Saionji-san what are you doing here??
Mikan: We got seperated because Saionji-san runs out first.
Shin: Let me guess and you run after her them got teleported again.
Mikan: Y-Yes.
Nagito: Then Saionji-san why are you running out of it?
Hiyoko: It's just so ridiculous!!
Shin: (Well of course she probably read the newspaper)
Mikan: We found a newspaper having Saionji-san's picture on it...
Hiyoko: That is not me!! There is no way I'm standing in front of you guys!!
Nagito: What do you mean it's not you.
Mikan: Saionji-san in the newspaper look maturer and higher too.
Nagito:...
Shin: Well then that may be you for real.
Hiyoko: So ridiculous! I'm here looking like this! Did Monokuma have de-aging medicine or something like that??
Mikan: I don't think de-aging medicine exists Saionji-san.
Hiyoko: That is why I said that, you stupid!
Shin: What did I tell you, wanna try?
Hiyoko: F-Fine sorry.
Mikan: It's okay...
Nagito: What else from that?
Hiyoko: There is a list of name right beside it. It contains all of our names except for Nanami and Onigawara over there... Wait, are you two the traitors?
Shin: No, we are not traitors, it is just some coincidence.
Nagito: Is that it?
Shin: Maybe?
<List of Subjects> has been added to the truth bullet section
Shin: Anyway anyone notices the super big file on the table.
Hiyoko: That hologram over there is more suspicious!
Nagito: We already read it though. Let's see what this is then...
Nagito: About the Hope Cultivation Plan. For many years, Hope's Peak Academy has conducted rigorous research into various talents. The Hope Cultivation Plan seeks to use the fruits of our labor to further our true goal. With our hands, we will birth a true hope that will bring hope to the entire world. Truly, the program is the next innovation in providing the ultimate education. This plan has been the academy's wish since its foundation, so we must succeed at all costs.
Hiyoko: Really? I know it is in the Academy's name but we just keep encountering this Hope!!
Nagito: It can't be helped, Hope is really important. Anyway I wonder what could this plan be about? It creates true hope... Maybe it is related to Kamakura Izuru?
Hiyoko: Isn't that the old geezer in the office's name?
Mikan: You mean the headmaster of Hope's Peak Academy...
Shin: Sound possible. Remember the third rate manga before said that Hope's Peak spent their fund to develop a student is probably this, Kamakura Izuru is the result.

Mikan: Actually, I want to ask, why are there only Onigawara-san and Komaeda-san? I thought Hinata-san and Nanami-san went with you.
Shin: Same as you guys we got seperated.
Nagito: It's my fault though.
Shin: No, thanks to you we have something useful after all. Anyway what are you two going to do? Maybe Mioda-san and Koizumi-san will catch up to this place so you can wait.
Hiyoko: How about you two?
Nagito: We will continue to move on.
Mikan: I think we should re-group first...
Shin: No, we don't know how much time we have left, so we need to go as soon as we can. Do you two wanna come or not?
Mikan: Y-yes! I understand let's go Saionji-san.
Hiyoko: Fine... I'm just tired of this whole glitch thing...
Nagito: Well that is decided then our new group is formed!
We leave the recreation room and of course got transported again to the second floor.
Hiyoko: What is the structure of this school?? Why are everything reversed???
Nagito: Are we standing on the air?
Mikan: Heh??
Shin: Ignore this let's just go.
Nagito: It seems we have a guest here too.
Akane:... It's close...it's very close...! Someone...is comin'...
Akane's twitching her nose and examining her surroundings...
Akane:...Oh it's just you guys.
Kazuichi: Why am I stuck with you in the first place?
Mikan: Souda-san and Owari-san??
Shin: Who the hell is f**k around with the teleport thing??
Monokuma: Oops
Kazuichi: How can I know?? I just walked through the door and got seperated like that!!
Hiyoko: Basically you just got lost! What a loser!
Kazuichi: You are no different! You are not in your original group either!!
Nagito: Owari-san what did you say about someone is coming earlier?
Akane: Don't know. They're...definitely real close... At least, that's what my gut is telling.
Hiyoko: That makes no sense! Are you a monkey??
Mikan: You shouldn't say that Saionji-san!!
Shin: Anyway wanna tag along?
Kazuichi: Nah I'm looking for my group first, I can't let Sonia-san alone with Tanaka and Hanamura!
And he just walks away like that.
Hiyoko: Seriously? He is an idiot isn't he?
Shin: Yes he is.
Nagito: How about you Owari-san?
Akane: Well it doesn't hurt I guess, let's go.
We continue to move on in the reverse hallway and finally reach the library.
Twogami: Oh, you guys are here.
Fuyuhiko: And look like they are not in the same group as before either.
Shin: Correct this whole teleport thing is getting stranger and stranger now. Anyway only 2 of you?
Fuyuhiko: Yeah, Peko and Nidai got seperated from us and Owari is right there.
Nagito: What do you have there Togami-san?
Twogami: An email it seems, read it it will be important.
Nagito: Then... To Future Foundation 14th Division -- Naegi Makoto:
Nagito: Where are you guys? What are you doing right now? What you're doing right now is a serious act of treason. Do you understand? Why are you protecting the Remnants of Despair? It should be abundantly clear to you how dangerous it is to keep these people alive. Stay calm and think about this carefully. You guys are being lied to. Think carefully about what's important to bring the light of hope to the world.
Nagito: The 14 of you joined the Future Foundation because you agreed with our ideals, right? The Future Foundation rescued you from the tragedy you survived and cooperated with recovering your memories. Immediately return the Remnants of Despair to our headquarters. Unless we eliminate them, The Tragedy will never end. Everything...is for the sake of a future filled with hope.
Hiyoko: Again with the hope thing...
Twogami: Anyway that makes things, Naegi Makoto a member from the Future Foundation is protecting the so called Remnant of Despair which is against the Future Foundation's rule.
Nagito: What does it mean?
Twogami: It is still a mystery for now... For its meaning...
<Email to Naegi Makoto> has been added to the truth bullet section
<Remnant of Despair> has been updated in the truth bullet section
Nagito: Anyway is that it?
Twogami:...Yeah.
Mikan:...Can I say something?
Shin: Sure you can.
Mikan: About Naegi Makoto I thought his name rings so familiar.
Akane: Huh? Did you know him or something?
Mikan: No... It's... For some reasons, I feel like it sounds like Komaeda-san's name.
Nagito: Me?
Twogami: Wait a second... Naegi Makoto and Komaeda Nagito... Naegi Makoto Da!
Hiyoko: Huh? Then this guy is...
Fuyuhiko: Naegi Makoto??
Nagito: Wait a minute this is just a misunderstand, my name is Komaeda Nagito since birth...
Shin: Yep it's just some coincidence, cause I know that Naegi Makoto guy.
Twogami: You know?
Shin: Yep Naegi Makoto the Ultimate Lucky Student of my class.
Hiyoko: They even have the same talent?? Isn't this kind of suspicious??
Twogami: Your class? You mean the first killing game?
Shin: Yeah I remember about my classmate at least! And he is not like this guy over there, not at all.
Twogami: I see... Sorry then Komaeda.
Nagito: It's nothing... Although I want to meet this Naegi Makoto now.
Shin: You will meet him sooner or later he is a important key to solve the mystery after all.
Nagito: You are right...
Akane: Anyway we are done now right? Let's just move on.
Shin: Sure, how about you Togami-san?
Twogami:...I will stay back to think a bit about this.
Nagito: How about Kuzuryuu-san?
Fuyuhiko: I'm still searching the library I will catch up with you guys later.
Akane: Good luck then! Let's go!!
We leave the library and check every door left on this floor and successfully enter a classroom.
Mikan: This classroom...
Hiyoko: This is clearly a laundry room!!
Akane: Did we teleport again?
Nagito: Probably yes.
I look around the room to see... What? A cup noodle in the laundry room? I pick up the cup noodle and inside it is another video tape.
Shin: (That is right, I still have the video tapes, maybe they can show me something later.)
Akane: What is this thing?
We all look at Akane's direction.
Shin: That is a tablet.
Akane: How can I use this?
Hiyoko: No, you won't Komaeda take it from her!
Nagito: Sure!
Nagito takes the tablet and turns it on.
Mikan: What does it say, Komaeda-san?
Nagito: The Neo World Program has another name: Psychotheraputic Communication Simulator. The New World Program is build with the most recent psychotherapy technology and administrative software. To develop the Neo World Program, individuals such as the Ultimate Programmer, the Ultimate Neurologist, and the Ultimate Therapist were among the many talented people whose research results were utilized.
Nagito: By mounting a device to the cranium, the Neo World Program allows its subjects to experience a 'Synthetic Virtual World'. Additionally, the Neo World Program has another feature. It can replace memories formed in the real world with information contained in the synthetic virtual world. Therefore, it is possible to undo trauma sustained in the real world through the use of the virtual world.
Nagito: However, this device is for psychotheraputic purposes only. Any other use is expressly forbidden. Though it is highly effective in treating brainwashing, abusing the device risks total personality destruction. Thus, extreme care must be exercised when operating this program
Everyone stays in silent for a while.
Hiyoko: What the... A virtual world?? Is that even possible??
Akane: What is a virtual world?
Mikan: Uhm.. It is like...
Shin and Nagito: Well that decides it. We are in the virtual world for sure.
Hiyoko: Huh? How can you believe this in the first place??
Nagito: It said the Neo World Program can replace memories, how can it be a coincidence that all of use lost the same kind of memory?
Shin: Beside that explains the whole teleport and glitch bullsh*t we are dealing with now.
Mikan: It said psychotheraputic purpose only... If we are using it, are we all having problem about it??
Nagito: We can't be so sure about that but most likely.
Hiyoko: Still we are in the virtual world is one of the ridiculous I have ever heard...
Nagito: Anyway we should keep it in our mind as real.
<Neo World Program> has been added to the truth bullet section
Hiyoko: Let's leave now then, I don't want to stay in the laundry room any longer.
And of course we got telelported to another floor again...
Mikan: It's the same hallway as before.
Akane: So we are back at square one now?
Shin: Wow you know what square one is but you don't know how much have we found...
Nagito: It seems that someone is ahead as well.
Sonia: Everyone! You are all okay!
Teruteru: Finally another group, I'm a bit terrified by the surrounding now. Please hug me!!
Shin: No.
Hiyoko: Now we meet the princess, I can't imagine Souda's face when he know if he follows us, he would meet her too!
Nagito: Well that is ironic.
Shin: Anyway where is Tanaka-san?
Sonia: He just went inside that door over there.
Teruteru: And we are going to enter too then you guys appear.
Shin: Let's go too then.
We all enter the door to the classroom.
Hajime: You guys? Komaeda!
Nagito: It seems we finally regroup.
Chiaki: It's good that you are okay... Where is Onigawara-kun?
Nagito: He is... Where is he?
.
Shin: Where is the others? This is... The A/V room.
Then I understand what does it mean. I take out all 3 video tapes and insert it into the machine.
Gundham: I have been waiting for you my rival!
I stop immediately.
Shin: (Damn almost press the start button.) What is it?
Gundham: The time is coming to an end, this is the great opportunity for a final showdown, isn't it?
Shin: No, we are investigating, leave that for later.
Gundham: No, now. You won't have later.
Shin: What do you mean?
Gundham: Simply a dead man won't be able to have later.
Shin: What did you see...
Gundham: The recording of what you hide for so long, the truth.
Shin: What do you mean?
Gundham: Win against me and I will tell you!
Shin: No other choice then... I will decide the rule ok?
Gundham: Come! If you lose, you will need to tell all of your secrets!!
I take out the Monocoin I got from breaking Monomono machine before when find presents for Sonia.
Gundham: That is...
Shin: Well the prize when we broke the Monomono machine. The rule is simple, I will toss the coin, if I guess the face right all 3 times I win, even 1 time miss will be my lost.
Gundham: You will have disadvantage, are you sure about this?
Shin: Of course I'm. I will mark 2 faces with different letter with the pen over there... Wait why is a pen here? I shouldn't think too much...
Shin: Well then let's start.
.
Gundham: How??
Shin: Blame your bad luck, I just win that is all, now tell me what did you see?
Gundham: A video showing your conversation with the evil!
Shin: You mean Monokuma, f**k that shitty bear.
Gundham: To think you are resident of another world...
Shin: Ok, let's stop. Keep that a secret for now, I will mention it in the trial if I have to.
Gundham: Only if you answer, how are you still alive?
Shin: Who knows? Must be the work of some shitty god.
Gundham: I see, very well. I will keep it to myself for now.
Shin: Right, also you really didn't realize I mark both faces of the coin 'head' right?
Gundham: It can't be?? You cheated??
Shin: It's not called cheat it's called using the brain correctly.
Gundham:...A lost is still a lost, I will win next time!!
Shin: Sure, now let me see the tape for a bit.
Gundham: Where are they from?
Shin: Searching around a bit. Let's see...
.
Gundham:...
Shin:...
Gundham: What in the world...
Shin: (If this is true... There is still hope left, that is right this won't be over yet!)
*ding dong, bing bong*
Monokuma: Ah, so, um... I'm getting tired of waiting. Shall we just plunge right in? It's time for the long-awaited graduation exam! Please enter the red door located on the first floor of Hope's Peak Academy. Puhuhu, see you soon!
Shin: Tanaka-san keep this a secret for now, this is not important to the investigation.
Gundham: Are you sure about that?
Shin: I'm sure, just keep silent about it until the end...
Gundham: If you have your reasons then fine after all I lost to you. Shall we leave?
Shin: Yeah.

When we leave the room we meet with Hajime and the others.
Hajime: What?
Shin: What what?
Chiaki: So they just appear through the same door?
Hiyoko:: This thing is so confusing...
Sonia: Tanaka-san you are ok! I'm worried because you are not in there too.
Shin: Anyway hear that just how let's go there also fill us out the details after we got seperated ok?
Hajime: S-sure!

Shin: Wait interference from the outside?
Hajime: Yeah Alter Ego said that there is another interference aside from Monokuma.
Shin: (Oh that is me...)
Hajime: Here is the door right?
Shin: It is let's enter it.
The light covers everything once more revealing the trial ground.
Hajime: Huh...? This place...!
Akane: Looks like...everyone's here...
Fuyuhiko: It seems that...this is going to be the final place...
Sonia: H-However...this place is...
Twogami: Is this...a trial ground? But why...are we at a trial ground...?
Sonia: We've...been here before, right?
Mahiru: Yeah, this should be the place that the door to the ancient ruins leads to...
Kazuichi: Huh...it seems pretty strange that we've been in that other building up till now...
Nekomaru: It's like...we're dreaming or something...
Nagito:...
Kazuichi: If this is a dream...then this, too, is very...
Monokuma: So you've finally arrived. Congratulations! You guys are the first ones to ever beat this game! After stopping by Hope's Peak Academy, you've finally come back to this place.
Monokuma: To the graduation exam site within the ancient ruins of Jabberwock Island!
Kazuichi: Wh-Who cares... This graduation exam means we can finally go home...right?
Monokuma: Of course! If that's what you guys decide!
Twogami:...And if we have to decide, what do we have to do?
Monokuma: Actually first come to your seat that has your name in it.
This is getting familiar now, the same as last time, I get to my seat between Hiyoko and Gundham, well this time I'm closer to the protagonist.
Monokuma: Ahem! Please take a look at the LCD touch panel built into your seats!
Monokuma: There are two options: Graduate and Repeat, right? You just have to choose one of them, and press it. All of you will cast your vote, and whichever one has the majority will be considered your final decision! If you don't press either of them, it will be treated as an absence and will not be counted.
Monokuma: Then...the result is based on our majority vote. Ahem! If Graduate is chosen by a majority vote... From there, an event that's kinda like a graduation ceremony called the Graduation Program will begin...
Kazuichi: Argh! Even if we do this stupid majority vote, the result is already pretty drat obvious! C'mon let's move this along! We can press it now, right!?
Monokuma: No no no! You can't do that yet! I mean, your resolve hasn't firmed yet, right? Your will to be swept away by society's harsh current.
Kazuichi: Shut up! Who the hell cares! I'm gonna press it!
Shin: Souda-san calm down just play with his rule for now,
Monokuma: My my...which of your orifices are you using to spew bile? To participate in the Graduation Program, you need my final say as your teacher, you know?
Twogami: So it doesn't end with majority vote?
Monokuma: After the vote...I'm going to judge every single one of you to see if it's okay for you to graduate or not.
Peko: So even if we vote, you're saying we won't graduate unless you acknowledge it.
Kazuichi: Um...I'm terribly sorry for being rude earlier...
Hiyoko: That is not fair!! You can just straight up decline and we lost immediately!!
Monokuma: You don't have to worry. There's no way I won't acknowledge your graduations. This is merely a formality. I'm just doing it because that's how it has to be.
Nagito: Really? Then why bothers adding it in the first place?
Monokuma: Ask the Future Foundation!! Anyway...even if you don't want to do it, you guys still need to do it to solve the mystery. Afterward, you cast your majority votes... And from there, we move on to the Graduation Program.
Kazuichi: B-But...why do we even have to go through something so dumb?
Monokuma: Well...that is...
Hajime: You said...you were waiting for the main cast, right?
Monokuma: ...Hm?
Hajime: Which means...you're just stalling for time, then.
Nekomaru: Who's the main cast?
Monokuma: Oh...no need to worry about it. It has nothing to do with you guys.
Kazuichi: Th-There is no way it has nothing to do with us! We are the only ones who are involved, you know!
Monokuma: It doesn't matter if you're involved or not, you're just a bunch of chumps in the big picture. That's why it has nothing to do with you. Just perform your roles without complaining.
Nagito: Our role?
Monokuma: I created everything. Puhuhu... You're actually picking a fight with me? I'm basically a god! Just how promising can you guys be!? I guess this...is just the nature of life...
Shin: No you are the one who wants us to do this at the first place.
Ibuki: Yeah!!
Monokuma:...Fine then. Before you die, sear my power into your memories! Or that is what I want to say but before that I will introduce a guest first!
Monokuma: Enter Tied up Monomi!!
Monomi: Let me out!!
Chiaki: Monomi!!
Teruteru: That looks kinky...
Mahiru: It's not the time for that...
Monokuma: Anyway dear little sister of mine will be a guest so don't worry and start the class trial that will decides everything!!
Shin: (It's starting again, the second time...)
On a courtroom of life and death...
Mutual deception of life and death...
Betrayals of life and death...
Puzzle solving of life and death...
Vindications of life and death..
Trust of life and death...
A Class Trial... of life and death!
Shin: (Ok who the f**k put this lines here again? It's not even fit the trial)
Sora: Ehe.
Shin: (Ehe te nandayo!!)
A/N: Chapter 43 ends!! Finally investigation is done! I skip a bit from the original and add something else so hope that will be ok. Anyway like act1 the next chapter will be the entire trial also the final chapter of act 2! And after that we will get to interlude and report!
