Trial 1 - Part 7
Let’s cut to the chase... You’re correct! It was my doing all along!
I’m the one who hid the knife under the table before the party started.
I’m the one who used the power cord to find my way to the table in the dark.
And of course, I’m the one who caused the blackout. After all, there’s no way I’d knowingly whip out a knife in front of everyone, right?
I-Is it just me or... does he seem a little nuts right now?
But... I never expected Byakuya to have night-vision goggles...
Because of that we had ourselves a little scuffle under the table... and, well, you all saw how that played out.
But with a twist ending like this, I think we can all agree this ended up being a very interesting mystery!
Hahaha! Byakuya performed admirably!
J-Just stop it already...! Seriously... What the hell happened to you!?
So is this what you’re really like? Have you been lying to us the whole time?
Me, lie? That’s outrageous! There’s no way someone like me could ever lie to you guys!
I understand better than anyone else that I’m ultimately worthless.
I’m too arrogant to have dreams or cling to hope... I’m too disdainful to actually try anything...
I’ve made peace with the fact that I’m a lowly stupid insignificant human who can’t do anything right
Holy crap! He’s totally the type of guy who spent his childhood killing neighbourhood pets!
The type who watches “Friday the 13th” with a gleam in his eyes... Just like me.
Th-That's quite the hobby you have there... but, like, now's not really the time to bring it up...
Hey Nagito... If you were behind all of this, then did you also send that threatening letter...?
Yep. I sure did.
There's nobody else on this island whose handwriting is that bad, right?
But why would you send a threatening letter in the first place?
I think... somewhere deep in my heart... I was probably hoping to find someone who would stop my evil deeds.
...Well, I bet if that really was my reason, at least some of you would feel sorry for me.
Are you makin' fun of us!?
By threatening Byakuya, Nagito was likely able to manipulate his actions.
Then...how about that old-looking building near this hotel?
Well, if it's just cleaning, leave it to me. I'm actually pretty good at it.
In doing so, Nagito was able to manipulate everyone to the scene where the murder would occur... Am I wrong?
That reminds me... Nagito was the one who suggested I guard the office.
Well, not only is the storage room packed with lots of stuff, it's hard to see in there and full of cobwebs...
Also, I was so busy cleaning the dining hall that I didn't even have time to clean the storage room.
In that case... Why don't you guard it in the office? If I recall correctly, there's also a circuit breaker in there, too. It'd be a good idea to guard that as well.
Oh, I get it. If Peko was guarding the storage room, Nagito wouldn't have been able to use the irons.
The threatening letter, along with all your suggestions... It was all a trap to manipulate us.
Yep, that's true too! ...But you're wrong about one thing.
H-Huh? Wh-Wh-What have we got wrong...?
I didn't need to rig the drawing for cleaning duty, you know.
Then... how did you manage to pull the chopstick that gave you cleaning duty?
I see... Well, there's no way I'd expect you to remember it. A worthless talent for a worthless human...
You’re the “Ultimate Lucky Student”... Which means, you really...!
That's right. I just trusted my luck. I trusted I'd be picked for cleaning duty.
Y-You just relied on your luck?
It's not *just* luck... It's true my talent is garbage, but I'm still the Ultimate Lucky Student, you know?
Huh? I'm left with the red mark!?
Ha ha! So much for “Ultimate Lucky Student”...!
At the time, Mahiru said I wasn't lucky... But it was actually the opposite...
I *was* lucky! That's why I got picked for cleaning duty, just like I wanted!
Why...? Why did you lie to us for so long...?
Nagito... why did you kill Byakuya!?
Byakuya was a very capable leader... For someone like him to get killed... Oh the despair it brings...
It's only fitting that you symbols of hope should use his death as a stepping stone to shine even brighter.
That was my only motivation!
Y-You're not making any sense!
It's fine... Let's start the damn vote already! I’m ready to fucking kill this psycho!
Please, Monokuma!
P-P-Please wait!
...Huh? The fuck?
U-Um, um...um... How should I put this...? Um...
I-Is Nagito... *really* the killer?
Um... What are you saying? He's already confessed, hasn't he?
I-I already know that, but... Fngh... There's just something a little strange...
If it's only a little then keep your mouth shut... Your ugly face is stressing me out. It makes me wanna puke.
A-A-Aaaah! I-I'm sorry!
Um... For now, might I suggest we listen to what she has to say?
B-But... we know who the killer is...
Simply listening is... acceptable...
However, I won't allow it to end with mere play! Now then, let us lift the curtain for a bloody spectacle!
