I Hope the story is of your liking.

Be careful at playing Pokemon Go.

Chapter 1 "Fuck this."

Naegi slowly and peacefully awoke from his slumber. He saw the familiar sight of the classroom and the drool on his desk and the horribly, bad written pamphlet on it to recognize that, yet again, he died.

He sighed emotionlessly. He stopped asking why him many deaths before. He was tired and didn't have the spirit (if he had any remains of it) to face his classmates and repeat the introductions.

Choosing the sanest choice…he went to sleep again, hoping that everything is just a bad dream and wakes up with his family.

.

.

.

"Ahh ahh! Mic check Mic check! Ahem. Attention to all new students, I would now like to hold the entrance ceremony… so please assemble in the gymnasium…immediately!" that whimsical, annoying and comical voice belonged without any doubt to Monokuma.

Naegi lifted up his head and listened to the announcement. He decided that it was uncomfortable sleeping in a desk so he decided to make what was close to a bed with the remaining desks on the classroom.

.

.

.

"This is an attention call for Naegi Makoto. Head to the gymnasium immediately so we can start the entrance Ceremony. We can't start without all the students present." Again, Monokuma called him, waking him up from his slumber.

He looked at the ceiling for a few minutes before falling sleep again.

.

.

.

"Stop sleeping, you bastard! Head to the gymnasium, now! Don't make me go and fetch you myself! If you have any respect for your classmates, you will come here on your own!" the irate voice of Monokuma resounded in the classroom.

Naegi went to sleep again. He didn't hold any respect for his classmates either so why bother?

.

.

"Come on…please! The headmaster isn't supposed to present himself by kids sleeping in classrooms! It has to be something more epic than that. If you come here, I'll give you a cookie!" Monokuma sounded like he was actually pleading for him to come. He also was hungry and felt lazy enough to not go to the kitchen and prepare something for himself.

He woke up, yawning and stretching his arms and headed to the gymnasium.

He walked lazily, with a tired expression on his face and blank eyes. Maybe after this, he could get some sleep on his bed, god knows that that, and the food, were the only good things on this forsaken place. It could even make worth that he had to endure Monokuma's speeches.

He arrived at the door of the gymnasium and sighed heavily.

"Well.." His tone sounded almost bored. "Here we go…"

.

.

.

"How could you allow yourself to be so late, Naegi?!" Came the furious voice of the Ultimate Moral Compass, Ishimaru Kiyotaka, and his accusing finger pointing to Naegi, who looked blankly at him with a neutral expression. "You were told to be here at eight o'clock, sharp!"

"What time is it?" Came the disinterested reply of Naegi.

"It's almost eleven o'clock!" Ishimaru replied, ticked off at Naegi's tone.

"Close enough." And with that, Naegi went to the most lonesome corner and sat on the floor hugging his knees and ignoring the angry scowls of some of his classmates. He started glancing at the place where the spears that killed Ikusaba were concealed.

"U-uhm…" He heard a shy voice coming from his side and looked up, to see Maizono glancing at him.

"Yeah?"

"Are you Naegi Makoto, from Nekuro's middle school?"

"Uh…yeah. You are…Maizono Sayaka-san…right?" Naegi tilted his head, looking at Maizono bright up at his reply.

"You remember me?" She smiled at him, although his empty stare was beginning to unnerve her.

"Yeah…I think so. You were pretty popular, you know?"

"Check, check…god, this is not how it was supposed to go." A disappointed voice resounded on the gymnasium, everyone snapping their looks at the podium, where the voice resounded.

A monochrome teddy bear came from the podium, surprising everyone. "Is not even despair-inducing anymore!" He glared at Naegi, who was yawing while scratching his head.

"Agh…" He let a weary sound escape his sound box and straightened his pose.

….

….

…

"NGAAAAAAAAAAAAH! The teddy bear, it speaaaaaaaaaaks!" Came the horrified scream of Yamada, who looked like he was going to piss himself from the surprise.

"Relax! It just has a speaker attached to him!" Ishimaru tried to calm Yamada down, not looking at his own troubled face.

"Good Morning everyone! You may be asking yourselves who is this handsome bear that is talking to you. My name is Monokuma and I'm your headmaster. Nice to meetcha!" Monokuma moved, making everyone even more surprised.

"NGAAAAAAAAAAAH! IT MOVES!" Yamada now was actually going to piss himself, maybe the force of will stopping him from doing that.

"For Christ stake, man, calm the hell down. It's just got a remote or something…" Oowada growled.

Everything went as Naegi remembered. The banter between the students, Monokuma's retarded puns and…

"You can't leave this place until you kill someone. Do whatever it takes to get the best results from the worst method!" Monokuma happily told them.

He was delighted when he saw those terrified faces, filled with fear and anxiety, faces that he would soon turn into complete despair…

Until he looked at Naegi, who looked back at him with an 'I don't give a shit 'bout anything' face. He was almost dozing off, angering Monokuma.

"Hey you! Are you listening to what I am saying?!"

"We can't leave unless we kill someone…also something about NASA and bears." Naegi replied monotonously, raising some of his classmates' eyebrows.

Monokuma was red with anger, smoke coming from him and was about to berate Naegi until he stood up and walked to the door, under everyone's curious gaze.

"Where do you think you are going?!" Monokuma asked him, raising his voice.

"To the kitchen. I'm hungry." Naegi replied, not looking at Monokuma.

"I'm not done yet! You can't leave until-"

"You disclose the rules about the killing game, conveniently written in an Electro ID that you were going to hand us in a few seconds, before leaving us alone in an uncomfortable silence?" Naegi answered with an obvious, mocking if you squint hard, tone.

Tick marks appeared on Monokuma's faceas he hold his paw.

"Drop mine in my room, will ya?" And with that, Naegi exited the gymnasium, leaving his dumbfounded classmates looking at the door and a very irate Monokuma throwing curses under his name.

.

.

.

Naegi was enjoying one of the few thing that pleasured him. Eating good food from good ingredients.

"Oh yes…yes!" Naegi moaned quietly as he introduced the hamburger steak on his mouth. "Come with daddy!" He took his time to taste the delicious treat on his mouth, picking all of its flavors before gulping it down.

Naegi learned a lot of things on his time loops. Self-defense, how to use a gun, survival skills, dancing like Michael Jackson (that was a weird loop) and many other things. The library was now his favorite place to hang out, even if he had to endure Togami's pleasant (sarcasm alert!) presence. Cooking was one of the most treasurable skills for him.

Being stuck here for God only knows how much time, suffering the incessant rambling of Monokuma and his classmates were what encouraged him to make his stay in this hell hole the most pleasant time of his life.

He thought about tomorrow. When the first motive will come to light.

'Tomorrow will release the videos…' Thought Naegi on his head while chewing more food. After that, someone would die. There were many possibilities but it was always either Kuwata or Maizono.

Either he switched rooms with Maizono and she dies or he doesn't and Maizono successfully kills Kuwata. There was a factor that if it was his room what made the difference.

'Maybe it was the sword?' He thought again. Kuwata used it to defend himself from Maizono's attack.

But he dismissed all of those theories.

"Whatever…they can save their own asses. It's not my problem." He muttered with apathy.

"Save themselves? Don't you think that's a little heartless?" A taunting question came from the front. He looked up from his plate to see Monokuma, looking at him with a sheepish face.

"Oh, hello." He greeted him without any animosity or cheer. "I will tell you that I already know about the misaligned frame of my bath door. So you don't show up later in my room."

"You bastard…" he was red. "I only came here to warn you about your awful behavior and tardiness at arriving to the precious meetings of this great Monokuma!" He said, irritated at Naegi's dismissive tone. "You should be grateful at my mercy for letting you participate in my awesome coliseum!"

'I wonder what should I eat for breakfast tomorrow…Pancakes? Something occidental?' he mused on his own head. 'Damn…I wanna be on my bed right now…' He continued eating his food.

"Are you listening to me?!"

"Sure. I appreciate that you let me participate in your awesome coliseum, Monokuma-sama." He replied without looking up from his plate. "There won't be any lateness anymore too."

Monokuma growled at him like a bear. "This is it!" He took something from Naegi doesn't know where and typed something on it.

A beep sound came from Naegi's electro ID, which he took from his pocket.

"Now…what do you have to say for yourself?" Monokuma smiled gleefully

Rule n°8: 'From this moment now on, is strictly forbidden for all students (especially Naegi Makoto) to ignore the headmaster. Punishment will be delivered according to the degree of smugness of the evildoer.'

Naegi recited the newly introduced rule with complete indifference and yawned after finishing.

"Y-Y-You…" Monokuma was twitching uncontrollably, seeming to explode of anger at any second.

"I hope you are the first one to die!" Monokuma's childishly yelled at him with his claws unleashed.

"Whatever. Do you mind? I'm in the middle of something here…" Naegi looked at him with his most unresponsive expression.

"AAAAAAAGH!"

.

.

.

It was the next day and the group was having breakfast, discussing their situation and throwing glances at Naegi, who was eating in another table with a sheepish smile on his face.

They were discussing the possibility of Genocider Shou being the Mastermind behind the Killing Game.

Naegi had to hold a chuckle escape from his mouth. If they know that Genocider Shou is standing right there, looking awkwardly out of place, they would literally shit their selves.

Especially Yamada, Kuwata and Hagakure.

He kept eating by himself until Monokuma appeared.

"Dahahahahaha!" His laugh echoed in the room, making everyone uncomfortable. "The police? You're holding out for the police?!"

"You dare to show your face?!" Oogami said, glaring at the bear.

"The police are-"

"A foil for the evil organization, the bad guys and the dark heroes. Without them, the bad guys don't stand out much." Naegi continued for him, chewing some of his food down his throat.

"Don't interrupt me!" Monokuma yelled at him. Naegi shrugged and continued eating his foot.

"Anyway, whadya want with us, ya homicidal maniac?!"

"Homici dalmaniac? That's a funny name! Is it German?" Monokuma taunted, holding his paw on his mouth.

"We know who you really are!" Mondo growled at him, an action which Monokuma ignored, making Oowada even angrier.

"I don't think he is Genocider Shou." Naegi told them.

"And how are you sure of that?" Togami asked Naegi, in a condescend manner.

"First of all, Genocider Shou is too stupid and impulsive to even plan something on this scale." At that, Fukawa took offense. "Second, all of its victims are male, which suggests that he is either a female or a homosexual man. The latter impossible at the degree of that she only killed attractive males. Third, Genocider is someone who takes pride on his own work so it's highly unprovable that she would renounce that pleasure, conflicting with this killing game." Naegi explained with a bored tone, probably to tick off Togami.

A silence erupted in the room, the only sound was from Naegi eating his food.

"It would be more likely that the Mastermind is a Beautiful Model with an obsession with despair, aided by her twin sister who is a super soldier." Naegi said absentmindedly.

Enoshima spat his drink on Kirigiri, the former apologizing and the latter glaring at her in annoyance.

"…" Monokuma looked at Naegi with a glare that could kill hundreds of people. "Leaving that aside, I just thought of giving you a little gift."

Monokuma told them about the videos that supposedly showed what was happening outside the academy and told them to search about the secrets of the academy…secrets that Naegi already knew. After that, he looked at Enoshima and vanished.

"I am concerned about the supposed movies of outside the academy." Oogami said pensively.

"W-What if they are a trap?" Fukawa bit her lip while shaking.

"All right! Then…" Oowada's gaze wandered around the Cafeteria…and it stopped on Naegi, who was still eating.

"Yo, Naegi! Go check it out for us, would ya?" Oowada asked with a friendly smile on his face.

"Bitch say what?" Naegi looked annoyed.

Oowada's smile twitched. "You're sitting closest to the door. So that's that?"

"But you are already standing." Naegi countered while tilting his head.

"Aye yah…" Oowada muttered, looking down. "Aye aye aye aye aye aye aye aye…"

"YAAAAAH!" Oowada shouted, startling everyone in the room.

Except Naegi, who raised an eyebrow at his sudden outburst.

"Here I am, just askin' you a little favor! How hard is it to check the damn thing out?!" Oowada snapped.

"Here I am, asking you the same question. How hard is it?" Naegi didn't have any malice on his voice. Just annoyance.

Oowada lost it and tried to lunge at Naegi.

Keyword tried.

Something flew towards him, grazing his cheek and arriving at Togami's table, who stood up as an involuntary reflex.

"…" Mondo felt how blood was drawn from his cheek and looked at Togami's table, where the object impacted.

A butter knife.

"Oh… my hand slipped…" Naegi muttered, unconcerned.

.

.

.

At last, it was decided that everyone would go together, by the suggestion of Kirigiri and Celes.

They were now in the A/V room, each of them sitting in front of the monitors. Everyone already had their DVDs and inserted them in the entry.

Naegi saw how the color drained from their faces. It was understandable. He already knows the contents of all the DVDs, which were made to make them despair.

He felt like that at the first time.

He hit the play button and watched his.

"Makoto…it's like a dream come true, you being selected for Kibougamine Academy. Good luck!" His mother cheered him with a smile on her face.

"I'm proud that I can call you my son, Makoto. But hey…don't push yourself too hard, all right?" His father advised him with a proud smile.

"Hey, bro! Are you watching? Good luck!" His sister wished him luck with a cheesy grin on her face.

Naegi stopped the video right there. He already knew what would happen next. He saw the video countless of times…

But…

It always made him smile fondly. Where was his family? Were they even alive? He would never know, as he is stuck here until God know when.

"I…have to get out of here…I HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Maizono screeched like she was possessed and left the room.

Naegi stood up as well, heading for the exit.

"What's up, Naegi-chan? Are you already drowning yourself in despair?" Monokuma's face was on the monitor, with a taunting smile on his face.

Naegi turned at him and looked at him with the most bored, unexpressive, empty face that he could make. "I'm going to continue with my breakfast." He said nonchalantly as he headed out.

"G-God damn…" The screen twinkled red and tick marks were covering Monokuma's face.

.

.

.

"How can you be so indifferent about this situation?" Kirigiri asked him while he was drinking a cola from the fridge.

Most of them now were avoiding Naegi, because of the obvious disregard of empathy and concern about their situation. The incident with Oowada didn't make it better. It was also possible that most of them were suspecting him as the Mastermind or someone who knows more than he lets on. Either way, it didn't make any difference for him.

Naegi side-glanced at Kirigiri with a blank look. "We're trapped here without no chance of escaping. A psychopathic bear ordered us to murder someone if we want to go free and there is the slim (he actually snorted here) possibility that some of us are already planning a murder. Screaming and Crying won't make this situation better." He answered.

Kirigiri kept looking at him, her cold glare looking straight at his blank, washed out hazel eyes.

"Is that all?"

"Maybe. Maybe not. I won't tell you anything, though. I don't trust you." Not after you sent me to execution. He had to give it to her, of all the deaths that he suffered, she was the one who was the most creative one. Helping the bear to signal him as the murderer.

"…" Kirigiri looked at him impassively. He ignored her and kept eating his food.

Sooner or later, she had to leave.

.

.

.

Night came and Naegi was laying down on his bed. A comfy, clean and big bed. He heard how someone knocked the door.

He stood up to see who it was.

"N-Naegi-kun…"

"Yeah?"

"Can I come in?" She asked, trembling with fear.

"…Sure, come in."

.

.

.

It wasn't a surprise that they found Maizono's body in his shower. That sent most of his classmates into panic.

As already happened before, Ikusaba stood up against Monokuma, ending impaled by Gugnir's spears.

He felt the accusatory glares at his way. It was an expected outcome, as the body was found in his room instead of hers.

Even if he already knew the murderer, if he didn't accord as his script, it was highly probable that the dunces would pin the blame on him, even with Kirigiri's help on the matter.

So he 'investigated' the crime scene and other keyword places.

After a while, Monokuma's announcement was made.

It was time for the Classroom Trial.

As he walked into the elevator, he was the subject of comments on how he was guilty and such. He shrugged and walked into the elevator, thinking on how he was going to play this time.

.

.

.

With everyone on their posts, the classroom trial was begun.

"All right! Everyone close your eyes. Then, raise your hand if you are the culprit!" Ishimaru ordered them with a serious demeanor.

Naegi sighed.

"You a dumbass? Who'd raise their hand?" Oowada admonished him.

Kirigiri inquired Monokuma about the portraits of the dead on some of the posts. Monokuma being Monokuma gave her a twisted answer.

Celes inquired about the 16th post that was empty and Monokuma lied about the reason to why that post was empty.

Finally, it was time to start.

Naegi yawned, gaining attention and a few glares at his way.

"Don't you care about this?!" Was the angry yell of Asahina. She had a few tears in her eyes.

"A way to gain your attention." "Before we start, I would like to summarize the whole case for those who have doubts or questions."

Seeing as there weren't any negatives he started. "According to the Monokuma file, Maizono died at 1:30 P.M. The cause of death was a wound on her stomach area made by a sharp object."

"Where are you getting at?" Byakuya interrupted him, touching his glasses.

"H-He is trying to make us go in circles!" Fukawa pointed at him with her accusing finger. "Cause he is the one who killed Maizono."

"Yeah, dude!" Kuwata screamed, clenching his fist.

"…" Naegi looked at the three of them with his indifferent glance. "There are traces of a blow to her right wrist. In addition to the traces, her right wrist's bone is broken" He finished.

"Ok, let's start!" Ishimaru yelled, invigorated.

"The murder occurred in Naegi's bedroom." Byakuya opened the debate. "Why was she exactly there?"

"I-Isn't it obvious? He invited her into his room and killed her! What else could it be?" Fukawa followed.

"Like totally!" Kuwata shouted. "He had her trust already. I heard how they were friends in middle school so she wouldn't doubt about whether he was planning something or not!"

Naegi cocked his head and answered. "Before countering your arguments, I want you to think carefully. Before thinking of me as a friend…wouldn't she hesitate at entering a MAN'S room late at night, alone?"

…Some of them blushed at the implications.

"Well, that's what not happened. Maizono-san came to me late at night, scared about someone prowling out of her room and proposed to switch rooms." Naegi said, calmly.

"Is there any evidence of that?" Celes asked him with a smile on her face.

"…The key of my room was found on Maizono's body. Kirigiri, Oogami and Oowada can corroborate that."

"Indeed." Kirigiri replied. "I found it while I was examining Maizono-san's body in search of clues."

"Agree. I remember when we found out about it." Oogami said solemnly.

"Yeah, something like that." Mondo scratched his head.

"Couldn't you just killed her, plant your key and take hers?" Togami questioned Naegi.

"Probably." He replied absentmindedly. "But aren't you forgetting something, Togami-san?" Naegi titled his head.

"What I'm forgetting, according to you?" Togami was a little irked at Naegi's disregard of the situation.

"If it was me the one who killed her, there wouldn't be such mess." Naegi explained. "As according to you, she already trusted me enough to ask me such thing. If I planned murder, I would have hit when she had a low guard."

"How despicable…" Oogami muttered, impressed. Not in a good way.

"That doesn't explain anything." Togami remarked.

"No, that's why I suggest we move on. If we stuck here, we will run out of time."

"There is a time limit?" Fujisaki asked.

"Of course!" Monokuma answered. "You honestly didn't think that I would listen to you rowdy children bawling for the rest of my live, did you?"

"OK, then…the next thing would be…" Asahina pondered.

"The murder weapon." Kirigiri finished by her.

"It was a knife from the kitchen." Naegi answered quickly.

"Huh? Wasn't it a dagger?" Oowada asked.

"You can see the handle of the knife, a generic kitchen knife. Also, there is a missing knife from the set in the kitchen."

"Yeah. We geddit. She was killed with a knife. What's yer point?" Kuwata asked Naegi, crossing his arms. "Anyway ya spin it, you're still the killer!"

"It wasn't me the one who took the kitchen, Kuwata-san."

"Yeah, sure. Next thing you are going to say is that you're not the killer." Fukawa intersected.

"I have a witness." Naegi looked at Asahina. "Asahina was yesterday in the kitchen until it was nighttime. Asahina-san, did you see me at that time?"

"No, I don't think so."

"Was there any other?"

"Well…there was someone…but!"

"It was Maizono-san, right?"

Asahina was shocked. "How did you know that?!"

"If it was any other, they would have taken the knife with them."

"If it was any other, they would have been identified by Asahina. But if it was the victim…" Kirigiri muttered.

"But, why would Maizono take the knife?"

"That's irrelevant for now." Byakuya said, gaining everyone's attention. "Just because someone didn't take the knife, doesn't mean that they are in the clear."

"Y-Yeeeees, see! Naegi is the culprit after all!" Fukawa aided Togami.

"So that was your plan! Twist the discussion and lead us to the wrong path?!" Yamada at his side said. "Mmmmm…. You are the proprietor of a terrifying ability!"

"…" Naegi had his eyes closed. "If you are so sure, then let's call a vote." He shrugged.

"W-What?!" Kirigiri raised her voice.

"I mean, look at them. They aren't gonna listen to anything I said. I'm really tired of spoon fending them with information. Of course, if they got it wrong, barring the culprit, they would die with me…" He explained. "On the bright side… I wouldn't have to listen to you idiots anymore." He smiled faintly…creeping out some of his classmates.

"You don't really care about this?!" Asahina pointed her finger at him.

"It's your call." He replied, without looking at her.

"We will continue discussing!" Ishimaru shouted. "Unless there is any shade of doubt about Naegi-kun killing Maizono, we won't stop!"

"Then, Naegi, is there any other evidence that suggests otherwise?" Togami asked, smirking at him.

"Several in fact." He answered looking tired. "First, there is the absence of my hair in the room."

"Hair?" Fujisaki inquired.

"Yes. Naegi-kun's hair was missing from the room." Kirigiri answered Fujisaki's question.

"And, like, what does that mean?" Oowada asked, scratching his head.

"If I was the culprit, why would I clean my own hair from my own room?" Naegi thought at times that they asked such obvious questions.

"You cleaned the room of hair to remove any trace of the fact that Maizono-san visited your room. Is it hard to believe?" Celes countered.

"If he wanted to remove any trace of her, rather than her hair, he would have removed her corpse." Kirigiri shoot. "The owner of that room wouldn't have done that."

"Then…Naegi-kun isn't the culprit?!"

"But is it acceptable to make such an important decision solely based on hair?" Ishimaru asked.

"Second. There is also the fact that my bath door's pome was completely destroyed." Naegi said.

"And that means…" Kuwata said.

"Why would I destroy my own doorknob?" He asked.

"I can't see what that means…" Asahina muttered, confused.

"Oh right. My bath door is special." Naegi explained them. "It has a misaligned frame, therefore, I had to lift up while opening the door. Monokuma is a witness of that."

"Yes, he speaks the truth! But for the Ultimate Luck to-"

"Therefore, if I knew the trick to open it, why would I bust my own doorknob?" Naegi continued, gaining a dirty glare from Monokuma.

"The shower door wouldn't open because it was misaligned it, but the culprit mistook it for being locked. For that reason, the culprit broke the whole doorknob." Kirigiri finished.

"Though…why would the culprit mistakenly think the door was locked? Everyone one of us should have known the boys' door don't have locks on their showers."

"The culprit made that mistake because they were unaware of an important fact about the scene…"

"They didn't know that Maizono and I exchanged rooms. Because of that, the culprit mistook the room Maizono was for her own bedroom." Naegi told them.

"And so, believing the shower room was locked, he destroyed the lock…" Ishimaru said.

"Unaware of the futility of his actions…" Oogami complemented.

"Then…Naegi couldn't have done it." Oowada said.

"Naegi doesn't fit…the profile." Fukawa said.

"I was telling it from the start." Naegi nonchalantly said

"Then, who is the killer?!" Oowada roared.

"Isn't this bad?" Hagakure said, worriedly. "If someone doesn't do something, true as truth or…"

"It doesn't matter how insignificant it may look- is there anyone who has any sort of uncertainty?" Celes asked her classmates.

"Well, now that you ask so nicely…" Naegi said. "How did the culprit get in my room?"

"Indeed. The method the culprit used to get into the room…"

"Couldn't she just-"

"No." Naegi cut Kuwata off. "The right answer is that she invited the person herself."

"That would be the only possibility…" Yamada said.

"How can you be so sure?" Togami inquired.

"There is evidence that corroborates it." Kirigiri answered for him. She took a note from her pocket and showed to them. "Maizono-san invited someone to Naegi-kun's room, using the paper above this note. There is also her signature on it."

"Oh, there is that trick that appears on TV!" Asahina exclaimed.

"I have a question." Celes started. "If this 'mysterious person' was invited by Maizono, wouldn't they go to Maizono's room, where Naegi was?"

"Yeah, why would they go to Naegi's room, where Maizono was?" Fujisaki asked.

"That's because Maizono-san swapped our nameplates." Naegi answered.

"Swapped Nameplates?" Celes asked, surprised.

"Just like the room exchange. Because of that, the nameplate on Maizono's room, where Naegi was, said 'Naegi Makoto' and the nameplate on Naegi's room, where Maizono was, said 'Maizono Sayaka'."

"In other words, Maizono was really in the room with the 'Maizono Sayaka' nameplate." Togami said.

"So if they did as the note said, they would have gone to Naegi's room, where Maizono was." Fujisaki complemented.

"The rooms are right next to each other, perfect for a nameplate swap." Kirigiri added.

"But how do you know that it was Maizono the one who did that?" Asahina asked Naegi.

"There were only two people aware of the room exchange. Me and Maizono. It was already proven that I wasn't the culprit." Naegi explained. "It was already proven that the culprit didn't know about the swap. So that only leaves one person…"

"Maizono Sayaka…" Togami muttered.

"But why would Maizono-san swap the nameplates?" Fujisaki asked.

"She wanted to call someone to the room she was in while keeping the exchange secret…"

"…" Naegi looked at Kirigiri.

"What's the purpose of doing all that! Calling on someone while keeping the room exchange secret…"

"Try to think what happened after that." Naegi told them.

"What happened after that…" Ishimaru said pensively. "Most likely…" His eyes widened in realization. "What's this?! We've stumbled upon the culprit! The person summoned by that note is the culprit!" He exclaimed.

"And we don't know who that is." Mondo said helplessly.

"Maizono-san and the culprit had some sort of struggle, yes? By any chance, could the answer be to that question be in that struggle?"

"It is." Naegi said.

"Naegi-dono, do you know who that person is already?" Yamada asked at his side.

"Why do you think I am this calm?" He retorted. "Once you grasp it, it's painfully obvious who the culprit is."

"The, share it with us." Togami demanded.

"No." that surprised everyone.

"I see…wait, what?" Yamada replied.

"What do you mean by no?!" Togami exclaimed, angered.

"Figure it on your own, you lazy asses." Naegi answered indifferently.

"Upupupu…I like your style!"

"I don't like yours."

"You do know that if we get it wrong, we are all going to die?" Celes asked him.

"Ah…yeah." Naegi replied. "So get it on with it. I already helped you people enough."

Celes eye twitched. Togami glared at him and everyone looked surprised.

Kirigiri was the one who managed the debate after that, Clearing the doubt about the struggle and explaining how the culprit get rid of the evidence and the dying message…all of this pointed Kuwata as the culprit. Naegi was eating potatoes as he saw the debate.

Kuwata snapped.

"F-F-F-F-F-F-FUCK YOU! I'm. I'm…NOT THE CULPRIT!" He roared. "'Sides, that logic's completely whacked, you shitbrained chuclefucks!"

Naegi sighed.

"Y-YOU!" He looked at Naegi. "You're the one who did it!"

"Did I?" Naegi tilted his head.

"None of you have evidence, it's all bullshit! That ain't gonna fly with me! Show me evidence, you bitch! SHOW ME SOME EVIDENCE!"

Kuwata stopped when he saw Naegi smiling…no…

When he was smirking. A dark grin emerged on his face, the first time that all of them saw Naegi smile. And they wished that he didn't do it again.

"If you ask so kindly, then, let me show you, Kuwata-kun!" Naegi narrowed his eyes at him. "How the culprit broke the doorknob?"

"He removed the screws." Kirigiri said.

"I see…for removin' screws.. You'd use a screwdriver." Mondo said.

"In that case, there was one tool set we were given, wasn't there, dude?" Hagakure hit bullseye.

"My toolset hasn't even been used in all this time." Naegi pointed his finger at Kuwata. "Where's yours?"

"ASS…huh?"

"The culprit didn't know that the room was of Naegi's. He wouldn't think that there was a toolset in that room." Celes said.

"There you have it." Naegi closed his eyes while smiling. "Now…can we move on to vote? I wanna get some sleep."

"The bastard's right! Let's call the vote!" Monokuma said cheerfully.

Kuwata looked white. Muttering the word asshole over and over…

Everyone made their vote and a slot machine emerged from the ground.

.

.

.

The slot machine was rolling. Kuwata was standing there, devoid of any life. As everyone gazed at the slot machine…

It suddenly stopped.

Naegi side-glanced at the slot machine and closed his eyes.

Kuwata lifted his head and saw…

"W-What?!" He screamed.

.

.

.

"The culprit is…Naegi Makoto!" Monokuma said while sweating rivers.

"…What?" Togami asked, dumbfounded.

Everyone looked at the machine with a wide spectrum of feelings. Fukawa, Yamada, and Hagakure looked on the verge of a breakdown. Asahina, Oogami, Oowada, Fujisaki and Kuwata couldn't believe what they were seeing. Byakuya and Celes looked at the machine devoid of any color on their faces.

Kirigiri had her mouth fall to the floor. Her eyes widened and a shade of blue slowly crept up on her face.

"…" Naegi kept quiet. If he felt anything about it, he didn't show it. Regret, Sadness, Guilt…none of that were present on his face.

"H-How?" Kuwata asked slowly. "I-It was me the one who killed her!" He yelled. "I was the one who stabbed her!"

He looked at Naegi with mixed feelings. On one hand, he was relieved that he didn't kill anyone, on the other hand…they were going to die.

"…You stabbed her." He finally talked. "But that didn't kill her."

"What?!"

"She was bleeding out on the bathroom. When you exited the room, you didn't call my presence beside the door. Before it closed, I went to the bathroom. Knowing the trick of the door, I easily opened it. Once I was there…"

"I only speeded up the process. After killing her, I left the room, knowing that you would come back to clean the rest of evidence that pointed you as the murderer. Nothing flashy."

"But for that…" Kirigiri muttered, shocked.

"I had to know about Maizono's plan, which I did."

"You…you were the one killed her?" Togami asked, incredulously. Not because of the possibility of Naegi being the murderer but the possibility that he was lying and that he didn't screw up.

"I already knew about Maizono-san intentions. I only used them at my convenience." Naegi sighed." How ironic…she tried to use me to get out of here but in the end…she became my ticket to the outside."

Everyone had a shadow shade that covered their eyes and were looking at Naegi with dislocated jaws.

"Well…I can't say this is really what I expected when I placed you guys here but…oh well." A button appeared in front of him "PUNISHMENT TIME!"

"Noooooo!"

"God, help us."

"I don't wanna play this game anymore!" Naegi heard Togami scream.

"Gyaaaaaaaa!

Naegi walked towards the elevator, thinking on how lonely was graduating by himself.

.

.

.

Once he exited the elevator, he was face to face with the Mastermind of the Mutual Killing game.

"Yo, Naegi!" Enoshima had a shit eating grin on her face. Naegi looked at her with his characteristically blank face.

"Ne, Naegi-kun. How does it feel? Killing your classmates like that? Hearing their voices filled with despair?" She asked him in her cutesy persona.

Naegi passed her and took the remote control on the table.

"Eh?" Enoshima turned to see Naegi walking away. "W-Wait…"

Naegi walked, ignoring the calls of attention from Enoshima. He headed to the Entrance, where the big metal door was.

"Wait there, Naegi-kun." Enoshima called him on his king persona. "You think you can ignore me, The Ultimate Despair, and get away unscratched?"

He looked in silence for a while. "Yah."

"Well think again!" She yelled. "Upupupu…You must think that you just killed a couple of strangers…but!"

"They were your friends, Naegi-kun!" She told him in her analyzer persona. "I wiped two years of your memories. Upupu…Two years filled with happiness, comrade ship, love!" She said with ecstasy. "And you killed them! How does it feel, Naegi-kun?" She was holding his shoulder, her face close to his. "Are you feeling despair?!"

"Mm…yeah, sure, why not?" He deadpanned.

"…" Enoshima's was frozen with a smile on her face.

"Can you let go? I wanna get out of here."

"W-where is it?" She started to shake Naegi. "Where is the despair? Where is my despair, you bastard?!"

"I'm sure it somewhere, buried under piles and piles of indifference and apathy." Naegi answered, with a dead tone.

"B-But…muh despair…." She whispered, shocked at such blatant disregard of emotion and human nature.

"Go away, you crazy bitch."

Enoshima was clinging to his leg, digging her nails into it but Naegi, who already experienced tons of deaths, was like an annoying itch.

He pushed the button on the remote control.

"Oh, it opened." He muttered.

He heard heavy sounds and the gears in motion. The door slowly opened, the light coming from outside blinding him…

.

.

.

Naegi slowly and peacefully awoke from his slumber. He saw the familiar sight of the classroom and the drool on his desk and the horribly, bad written pamphlet on it.

"…"

He stood up and exited the classroom.

He walked to the nearest bathroom.

He entered to a stall and locked the door.

And…

"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-!"

Still don't know where this is going. Criticism and help is really apreciated here.

PD: mfw Great Gozu, Tengan-sensei and Seiko are dead while Sakashit, Ruruka and Munaka still alive.

PDD: Chiaki is love, Chiaki is life. Because of that, Kodaka will kill her in the most heinous, despair-inducing way that he can think of.
