Class Trial
START
"Now then, let's begin with a simple explanation of the class trial," Monokuma said in the judge's chair. "During the class trial, you will present your arguments for who the killer is, and vote for 'whodunnit'. If you vote correctly, then only the blackened will receive punishment. But if you pick the wrong person... I'll punish everyone besides the blackened, and that person will earn the right to leave this island!"
Like before, Monomi had been strung up by rope, dangling helplessly from the ceiling. "O-O-Oh... No matter how many times I hear it, it's such a cruel rule!"
Now then, let's discuss the motive! That masterpiece of gaming. Twilight Syndrome Murder Case!"
"Whaaaat?" Ibuki groaned. "Who cares about that game?!"
"The outcome of this trial should be determined by whether or not we find Koizumi's killer..." Gundham said in agreement.
"Nevertheless, we shouldn't ignore it," Nagito countered. "After all, that game is the motive this time."
"Yeah... you're right..." Chiaki nodded her head. "Then let's try discussing that first.
"I'm sure everyone who's beaten the game already knows that it's based on an actual murder case."
"Some of us have not beaten that game..." Peko said. "Give us a detailed explanation."
"It means... 'Twilight Syndrome Murder Case' is a nonfiction game. Additionally, some of us are characters in that game, too."
"So..." Chiaki added. "I think it's better if we clarify who the characters in the game are first."
Katsumi joined in. "The characters were Girl A, Girl B, Girl C, Girl D, Girl E, Guy F and an unnamed girl shown on the 1st day, but the staff roll had real names that can replace these placeholder names."
"Girl A is probably... Tsumiki Mikan," Hajime said.
"Uuaah..." Mikan cowered a little. "M-M-Me?!"
"That timid tone... That definitely sounds like Girl A... Based on the list of names in the staff roll, I can't think of anyone else who would be Girl A.
"Wh-Why am I in a video game? Th-That's an infringement of my right to privacy!"
"Ha!" Hiyoko jeered. "A nasty, trashy, pigshit like you doesn't have any privacy rights!"
Katsumi was quick to wordlessly shoot her a penetratingly icy glare. "..." Without me around these past few days, she's probably found every opportunity to say things like this, huh?
"Ggh...!" Hiyoko tensed up and quickly turned her head.
"Ah..." Chiaki said. "'A nasty, trashy pigshit'... I feel like I heard that in the game, too."
"...Huh?"
"Girl B was short and foulmouthed..." Hajime said. "She's probably Saionji."
"Short and foulmouthed...?" Hiyoko pouted. "That's like the complete opposite of me!"
"...Anyway, let's move on," Nagito continued. "Next is Girl C."
"Girl C... is Mioda... Mioda Ibuki."
