SAKURA: We should tackle the murder weapon next. HIFUMI: That sounds like a good idea. MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: The weapon that killed Maizono-san. If I don’t make that part clear...! SAKURA: What was the weapon that had killed Sayaka Maizono? KIYOTAKA: Some kind of blade that pierced her stomach... KIYOTAKA: That’s the murder weapon! It’s crystal clear! MONDO: So the culprit used a pocket knife, right? The fucker... MONDO: Killing someone in such a lowly fashion...! MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: Wait... what he said right now... It contradicts what I know about the situation... MAKOTO: No, that sharp object wasn’t a pocket knife. It was a kitchen knife. MONDO: Huh? A kitchen knife...? MAKOTO: The knife set in the cafeteria’s kitchen is missing one knife since the murder. SAKURA: So that knife became the murder weapon. MONDO: Aah... I guess that’s what happened. The blade that stabbed that girl’s stomach... MONDO: When I look at it closely it really does look like a kithen knife... LEON: Okay, so we get that the weapon is a kitchen knife. But does that even matter? LEON: I mean, we’ve already established Naegi is the culprit! TOUKO: Y...yeah... The crime scene is Naegi’s private room... Do we really need more proof than that...? MAKOTO: W...wait a second! I...! KYOUKO: Let’s reach this conclusion only after we’re done with the discussion. If we don’t, this trial loses its meaning. LEON: But, I don’t think it matters how much we discuss it. The conclusion won’t change... KYOUKO: No, I don’t think that’s the case. If we continue discussing, I’m sure we can reach a breakthrough. YASUHIRO: Huh? A breakthrough? KYOUKO: ........... MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: That’s right. I’m sure there’s a breakthrough waiting to be found somewhere. MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: I mean, I know very well that I am not the culprit...! LEON: Sure, a kitchen knife was the murder weapon. LEON: But does that even matter? TOUKO: N...Naegi must have stolen it from the kitchen... TOUKO: Stealthily, while no one was in the cafeteria... TOUKO: And then... he stabbed Sayaka Maizono with it...! LEON: There’s no question, Naegi is our culprit!! HIFUMI: HmmHmm, so it’s decided... HIFUMI: This is The End!! MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: I didn’t steal any kitchen knife. But they’re not going to take my word for it... MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: If someone else can clear things up... MAKOTO: Wait. It wasn’t me who took that knife from the kitchen. TOUKO: N...next you’re going to say you aren’t the culprit... right? But you’re all talk with nothing to support your claims...! MAKOTO: But what if I have a witness? MAKOTO: Hey, Asahina-san...? AOI: ...eh? MAKOTO: I remember you said very clearly... MAKOTO: That knife disappeared from the kitchen while you were in the cafeteria. Isn’t that right, Asahina-san? AOI: Yeah... that’s right... MAKOTO: Did I enter the kitchen during that time? AOI: Um, I don’t think so... BYAKUYA: ...”think”? AOI: No, Naegi definitely didn’t go into the kitchen. Definitely! MAKOTO: The knife disappeared while Asahina-san was in the cafeteria, but at that time I was nowhere near the place... MAKOTO: Therefore, it wasn’t me who stole the knife! TOUKO: S...so... what about this possibility? TOUKO: That swimming idiot over there is an accomplice to Makoto Naegi... and she’s giving us false testimony... AOI: Swimming idiot...!? AOI: ...I mean, why am I an accomplice!? BYAKUYA: As long as we’re raising this possibility, I want to ask the stuffed bear something. If there is an accomplice to the murder, is that person also considered a culprit? MONOKUMA: Well then, let me answer!! MONOKUMA: I will not disallow anyone from assisting with a killing, but the only one who can “graduate” is the single culprit who actually carried out the murder. KYOUKO: In that case, it doesn’t matter how much of a help you were, there is nothing to gain from being an accomplice... LEON: So I guess we don’t have an accomplice after all... CHIHIRO: But... the culprit didn’t know this rule until just now... MONOKUMA: Aaah, this is bothersome! Really!! There isn’t one! This case has only one culprit!! MONOKUMA: Oops...! I said too much...! MAKOTO: Anyway, I didn’t enter the kitchen and didn’t take any knife. MAKOTO: Isn’t this proof enough that I’m not the killer?! CHIHIRO: So... who stole that knife out of the kitchen...? CELES: It’s possible it was Asahina-san herself. She was in the cafeteria, after all. AOI: N...no, no! It wasn’t me!! HIFUMI: Is there anyone here who can prove it? SAKURA: I can. AOI: When I was drinking tea yesterday evening, Sakura-chan was with me the entire time... LEON: Um, just to make double sure... by “Sakura-chan”, you mean... SAKURA: That is me. LEON: ...that’s what I thought. YASUHIRO: So, what if either Asahina-chi or The Ogre slipped into the kitchen and took the knife when the other wasn’t paying attention? AOI: No, that’s not possible... I mean, um... MONDO: Do you have any proof...!? SAKURA: I spent the night in Asahina’s room yesterday. AOI: There was this weird video... and I got a little scared... I cried about it to Sakura-chan and she offered to keep me company through the night... AOI: So... that gives both of us alibis, doesn’t it!? TOUKO: Isn’t spending the night... against school rules...? CHIHIRO: They only forbid sleeping outside the private rooms... There isn’t any special restriction about sleeping in someone else’s room... CHIHIRO: So... there shouldn’t be any problem... KIYOTAKA: There is definitely a problem! It’s unwholesome! A boy and a girl... sleeping in the same room together...! SAKURA: I am a woman. KIYOTAKA: I...I’m very sorry...!! CELES: But if it wasn’t any of you who took the knife, we run out of possibilities... SAKURA: No. There is still one possibility left. Isn’t that so, Asahina...? AOI: Actually, when we were at the cafeteria there was one other person who came in... BYAKUYA: Why is this the first time we’re hearing this!? AOI: Because... that person... is no longer with us... MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: No longer with us? That means... AOI: It was Sayaka Maizono-chan... The girl who ended up dead... came into the cafeteria.
