Chapter 2 - Part 4
What the heck is this...? Such a gigantic building.
However, it is clearly faded... It looks like an ancient ruin.
It seems... Perhaps this is an actual ancient ruin?
U...Um...Does anyone else agree it looks a little like... a school?
A school...?
I... had the same suspicion.
To me... this thing almost resembles...
...Hope’s Peak Academy.
Hope’s Peak Academy...?
I guess... but I can’t even remember the appearance of the academy that well.
Could that just be a coincidence?
I think this structure is too degraded for us to tell what it is or isn’t.
But, like, there’s no way it could be Hope’s Peak, right?
I cannot recall anything unique about Hope’s Peak’s appearance that could help identify it...
Huh? What about the logo?
It looks like where the logo would be is covered in vines...
Of course it’s not Hope’s Peak. There’s all kinds of buildings that could resemble this thing.
Oi, Hajime, you got anything else for us? If this garbage was all you had, I’ll neck you!
Hey! Cut that out! We’re not here to fight each other!
Wait, why *are* you here? Wouldn’t you rather be alone?
Tch. That bastard Hajime was very determined to get me moving... I just came so I’d get him off my case.
...Don’t worry, I found something else.
Did you maybe find a way to get off this island?
I wish...
Aww, then who cares? I should have played in the shower with Chiaki more.
Well, Hajime? What did you find?
...I’ve noticed there’s something... out of place about this building.
It’s like if you ordered a bunch of kusamochi, but found sakuramochi right in the middle.
What kind of comparison is that?
...Just take a look at the door over there. You might get what I mean.
The door?
This is the door, right...?
It’s really creepy-looking, but... what’s wrong with it? Can we go inside?
...Before we try going inside, I think we should brush all the dust off.
If we do that, you’ll probably understand what I meant by “out of place”
I don't really understand you, dude... but I guess we got nothing to lose.
What the hell? This door doesn’t look like it belongs in a ruin at all!
He’s right, this is definitely off...
It kind of looks like...something out of a sci-fi movie, don’t you think?
And this mark on the door... What's this all about?
Hmm... it looks like it's Japanese...
Ah, you're totally right!
U-Um... I'm sorry if it's just my misunderstanding... To me, it looks like... it says "mirai"... or "future"...
...Future?
Hey, who cares about a symbol on the door!?
More importantly... How do you open it? What's inside?
It looks like there’s an LCD panel next to the door... Maybe the two are related?
Oh, right!
That must be the key to open the door! It's probably set to open when you type the password!
Acting all high and mighty... So what's next? It's obviously impossible to put in the password without any hints.
Ah, are you saying a normal person can't open it, but a yakuza can? That's hilarious!
Sh-Shut up... If we just type whatever... we might get it right...
Ah, I think we should wait. Doesn't that seem dangerous?
Hm? What do you mean "dangerous"?
Cuz... that thing next to the panel, doesn't it look like a gun?
...In fact, that's totally a gun.
Eh? A gun?!
I-I was thinking the same. It looks a lot like a gun...
With the way it’s positioned... it might go off if you type the wrong thing into that panel.
S... So you’re saying we’ll get *shot* if we enter the wrong thing!?
Seems that way.
Dammit...!
I-It can't be helped... Looks like... it's better if we don't mess with it... for now...
Kehehe... he's totally freaked out...
Shut the hell up! You do it then!
But still... a building that looks like an ancient ruin, with a door that looks like it's from a sci-fi film...
It's definitely unnatural. This is probably an important place.
Important place, huh... The problem is, how is it important?
Um...
...
Um...
...
...Nothing from either of you?
You guys know about this buildin' too, right!? Just be honest with us!
No... I have no... I have no idea at all...
I... don't know either...
For now... everyone should focus on gathering the Hope Fragments...
Hey, there's no way you guys don't know! Don't just show up and tell some lousy lies!
You guys are probably the ones who covered that door with dust, right?
Ah, just as I thought, you guys were hiding it on purpose, right...?
Hey, don't talk like we're equals, you trashy bitch!
Eeek! I-I'm sorry!
Is it possible there’s a connection between this door and the reason this island is uninhabited?
For example, this place might be a shelter, and there might be natives inside.
D-Did Monokuma trap them in there...?
Hmmm, several possibilities cross my mind.
But it looks like there's no way to confirm it yet. That door is really sturdy.
But... not in a material sense. More essential than that.
...Huh? What're you sayin'?
For instance... even though Monomi and I can come and go as we please, we can't enter what's beyond that door.
Huh? You can't go inside, too? Does that mean you're the same as me and--
Heeeey! Keep your tongue in your mouth!
UGYAAAAAAA!
My body can't handle a supersonic meteor rush like that!
There... now that I've shut up my sister with a fantastic Pegasus Meteor Fist...
This is the mystery of Jabberwock Island. A mystery that even Monomi and I can't solve.
That's why I have high expectations for you guys! One day, you'll be able to solve that mystery!
Heh, that seems easy enough...
All we gotta do is remember what that black and white tanuki said before.
Hey, why are there sixteen of you? I’m pretty sure only fifteen students were supposed to come to this island...
That’s right, it’s because one of you is a traitor!
There's a traitor among us... That's what that ugly tanuki said before.
Ahhhhaahaha! Calling me ugly and a tanuki... Those kinds of silly names don't depress me in the slightest!
He's totally depressed!
If there's a "traitor," they probably know how to open the door, right? And there's probably boats or a way to contact the outside world beyond that door.
Or maybe whoever's controlling Monokuma and Monomi is hiding in there!
B-But... do you really think there's a traitor among us?
Of course there is! Who the hell is it!? Hurry up and confess!
Th-There isn't... There's no traitor... anywhere!
Monokuma... what about you? You're the one who mentioned it...
Puhuhuhuhuhu...
...What's so funny?
Oh, just... Have you heard of an organization called World Ender?
Huh? What did you say?
I-I'm the one asking you a question! Don't just change the subject!
I understand why you'd ignore it... World Ender is such an embarrassing name.
But the name is unavoidable because that organization actually exists!
So what is this... organization?
It's literally what it says...
Those guys ended the world!
E-Ended the world!?
...That's not an overstatement or a metaphor, you know. Those guys really did end the world.
You mean... they're a terrorist organization...?
Terrorist, huh... That might be accurate.
But only losers are terrorists. If they manage to win, they become "heroes".
In that sense... they're more like heroes. They're the heroes who ended the world!
D-Don't say things that don't make sense!
Heroes who destroyed the world!? That's ridiculous!
Are you trying to say this organization is the one putting us through all this crap!?
World Ender... Are you saying that you and Monomi... are also members of that organization?
Who knows? The only thing I can tell you is...
The organization that the traitor is working for, the ones who brought you to this island...
...is World Ender.
Wh-Why are we being targeted by a h-horrifying organization like that!?
Don't panic... It's just another made up story to trick us, like when he said we lost our school memories.
I can't suspend my disbelief for something as ridiculous as "World Ender"... There's no way that organization... or the traitor exists!
Monokuma... I shall listen to you spout nonsense all you want, while I puff cigar smoke over your crumpled body.
My, my... I was kind enough to keep you guys informed. Are you calling me a liar!?
Gnnnngh... Tonight I’ll be dreaming of bending your bodies like pretzels!
Anyway, I'm telling the truth! The World Ender organization is the final boss of this island! Plus, one of their members is hiding among you guys!
That's why... you guys gotta find that traitor and kill them dead!
H-Hey! You better stop...
Shut up, Monomi! Big brother-defying trash like you needs to be punished! [leaves]
Nooo! Don't pull my ears! They're gonna come... come off! [leaves]
Is there... anybody who understood what he was talking about...?
Not a clue...
It’s just a bunch of crap... It’s gotta be...
*yawn*
For now... since the sun is setting, we should just go home for the day.
I think... it's a waste of time for us to keep thinking about this.
It is starting to get dark, so it’s probably best we call it quits for today.
They’re really toying with us now... Those bastard animals...
