I am Shuichi Saihara, the Ultimate Detective. It's over. The 53rd Danganronpa has come to an end like this. ☆The rules of the Danganronpa V3 setting guide do not apply here.☆ Many friends have died. But, this isn't the true end (Owari). Rather, this is the beginning (Hajime).

For some reason, Tsumugi Shirogane, the Ultimate Despair, seemed to have lied. And after three days of searching for Ki-bo's parts, the three of us... Sweating profusely, with Yumeno-san even borrowing a hair tie, We finally succeeded in recovering many of Ki-bo's parts. Harukawa-san showed incredible spirit and stamina, not shedding a single drop of sweat. Conversely, we weaklings were prone to getting exhausted quickly. And the next task was to send a letter to his father, Professor Idabashi. After several attempts, an answer surprisingly came to Harukawa-san's letter. Did she threaten him? She said that wasn't it.

And so, we boarded a train using a large sum of money. Yumeno-san claimed she entered using magic... but what's that ticket in her pocket? This is... the Strawberry Express? Why is it so childish? I'd rather have a Pineapple one. Anyway, this story begins on this train. A train traveling through quiet country roads... nothing major happened, but it was somehow eerie. The conductor was wary of us, but that was because it was his hometown. A village of golden fields far away from the city. Of course, due to the lack of sunlight, it's still pale yellow to light green. Still, it had a liveliness of its own. And we finally found that awkwardly large house in the furthest corner. Several letters we sent were still stuck in the mailbox. Only the letter where we sent Ki-bo's parts was missing. "..... Excuse me, Professor Idabashi?" "Yes~ This is Idabashi, acting on behalf of Professor Idabashi. Oh?" "Huh...? You? The Ultimate Mechanic?" Not Kazuichi Soda, though. "Have you heard any news about Soda?" "Hmm... maybe. Sort of?" "Ah, the Professor is currently focused on Ki-bo. Go check for yourself. No, tomorrow or the day after would be better. I don't like being alone." "Almost finished... then." I was stunned. We came all this way, and it seems he's already reached the near-completion stage using the parts we sent. Of course, his AI will be reset and he'll lose his memories, but I believe the fact that we were friends won't change.

And in this town, we spend many beautiful and unforgettable daily lives we never imagined. Amusement parks, fireworks festivals, the sea, train trips... and even world travel. It's a story where we truly become a "family," and for those with nowhere to go, we become each other's home.

We all hold people we miss dearly in our hearts. We are brought together by those wounds, and the wounds gradually heal. And even if we can't replace those people, we can share enough similar warmth and familial affection. Well then, goodbye. Good morning, good afternoon, and good night to everyone. Good morning, Good afternoon, and Good night.

Akamatsu-san. Please watch over us. With love... Shuichi Saihara
