I assume you refer to our appearance, no? Don’t worry, we were wearing disguises.

We didn’t attract many stares as a result, so any Zetsubou agents that may have been hiding about didn’t notice us.

That being said…getting through the metal detector was, as humans typically say: A living nightmare.

Right…I was really hoping to forget about that.

It not like we can avoid stares altogether either. Gonta got a lot of looks when he go through checkup. Probably because Gonta so big.

Sorry, but it’s only me right now. The other two got kidnapped by our enemies.

Uh…sorry, but neither of us know enough about My Little Pony to understand this…

Indeed…

I mean, I liked Monotaro. I found his forgetfulness endearing.

Explains why you were so willing to adopt him.

I dunno…I kinda remember them all being annoying…

I guess the green one was alright…He didn’t talk much…

Mm…Gonta actually kind of like the yellow one. He know a lot about economy, and Gonta learned a lot from him.

Believe me Gonta. You can learn a lot more and a lot better from anyone who isn’t Monosuke. Even Kokichi’s a better businessman than him.

Thank you Ryoma, you’re too kind!

Wh-What kind of question is that?

Um…I have, but for an investigation. You know?

Ah, right, the 6th trial.

Yep…I remember Maki getting pretty upset when she saw me leave with Himiko.

Yes I remember. Given how…unique he is, compared to the rest of the V3 Kids, it’s kind of hard to forget him.

However, I think this is the first time we’ve had a chance to meet in person. It’s nice to meet you, Keebo.

I wish I could say the same. Did you honestly think the Future Foundation wouldn’t come after you? That they’d just let you go and give up as soon as you escaped?

Not really…But I didn’t expect they’d send you. As far as I’m aware, you didn’t have any combat functions to speak of, and were programmed to act like a normal human.

Yet, all that tech…I can’t help but find it impressive.

Kazuichi’s still in captivity, and even so, it doesn’t look like his work…And I can see elements of Fujisaki in there too, but only in the programming.

Ngh…

Which means…this must be…

The work of the Ultimate Inventor, yes? If I recall her name was…Miu?

Interesting…At first, I thought not much of it, but now that I give it some consideration, maybe it’s too risky leaving someone like her to do as she pleases in the Foundation?

Are you…threatening her?

Touched a nerve did I? Well, in your case I suppose it’d be a wire.

Relax. Whatever threats I make are empty. Just maybe remember to keep an eye on her if you get back.

I am getting back. And the two of you are coming with me. 

You, Komaeda, I’m taking back as principle, but you Kamukura…I have some questions for you.

…

I would love to answer your questions…given literally any other scenario.

But I busted my ass workshopping the plan to free this guy, and it worked to near perfection. I’m sorry, but I can’t let you take me in now. Not when my goals are just over the horizon.

You don’t get to decide that. You have committed crimes against the Future Foundation, and you will-

Let me stop you RIGHT there…I’m sorry, but I’ve heard one too many high-and-mighty entitled speeches today. I’m not in the mood to hear whatever meaningless cop-roleplay you plan on spouting.

Plus…and forgive me if this sounds ruder than I intend…You overestimate yourself. This useless tech and weaponry won’t save you.

Ngh…

Unfortunately, I have to agree. If we’re going to fight, let’s get it over with.

If you wish to go out, you have room to do so. There’s no civilization here for miles.

*Nagito nods off to the side of the road.

…Very well.

I think you can hold your own against him, but remember, you are still recovering.

Try not to get yourself hurt, ok?

I can only promise to try.

*Keebo strides off to the empty landscape to the side of the road. Nagito follows.

I’m very much looking forward to this. THIS is what I call a TRUE battle. Your Hope against mine and Uchui’s.

I might not agree with you, but I can respect you. Though you aren’t human, the hope inside you flows out like a glistening fountain under the summer sky.

It almost makes me want to not do this. I would rather not rip the hope in you right out, and return to Zetsubou with that on my conscience…

…Oh, I wouldn’t worry about that…

*Keebo stops and squares Nagito down.

You WON’T be returning…!

Hmph!

//NAGITO KOMAEDA VS K1-B0//

*Shuichi explains his conclusion to Miu and Keebo as well.

Is that really the conclusion you got to? If Tsumugi’s been here for 7 years, shouldn’t she look a little bit older? Why’s she still look high school age?

Well, we know she can shapeshift. Maybe she’s wearing a cosplay to make herself look younger?

Kaede has a point. We don’t know if the appearance we’re familiar with is her actual appearance. We don’t even know if she’s a boy or a girl, or if Tsumugi Shirogane is her real name or not. 

I can’t deny the possibility that Tsumugi was waiting for us. After all, she needed Maki, Himiko and I for Danganronpa Survivor.

The problem is…how would she have known we were coming? She’s not the one who brought us here. Uchui already confessed to that.

Typical…Whenever we finally make a breakthrough on our situation, we end up with more questions than we had answers…

Mozart.

Mine’s Sleuth.

Mage!

Astro!

Damsel was mine.

I am the Phantom Thief: Rival!

Gonta’s is Wasp!

Mine was just Keebo.

That’s just your name!

Well, TECHNICALLY speaking, my real name is my number, K1-B0. Keebo is what everyone calls me. It’s no different to Mona or Sophie.

Well, I guess you’ve got a point there.

I’m the one and only Gadget!

Con.

Shadow.

As you can see, they’ve all given this a lot of thought.

I’m the clown prince of lies, and DICE was originally clown themed. I don’t mind being called Clown.

If I had to pick one, I’d say Poltergeist.

If I could pick a codename for myself, I would choose to be called “Apostle!”
