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 Keebo's parts... Sweating profusely, with Himiko even borrowing a hair tie, we finally succeeded in recovering most of Keebo's components. Maki 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 unexpected reply came to Maki's letter. Did she threaten him? She said she didn't.

And so, we boarded a train, paying a hefty sum. Himiko claimed she entered using magic... but what was that ticket in her pocket? This is... the Strawberry Express? Why is it so childish? I'd rather it be Pineapple. Anyway, this story begins on this train. A train heading down a quiet country road... nothing big 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 was 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 stuck in the mailbox just as they were. Only the letter where we sent Keebo's parts was missing. "..... Excuse me, Professor Idabashi?" "Yes~ I'm Idabashi, the Professor's deputy. Oh?" "Huh...? You? The Ultimate Mechanic?" Not Kazuichi Soda, though. "Have you heard any news about Soda?" "Hmm... maybe. Something like that?" "Ah, the Professor is currently focused on Keebo. Go check for yourselves. No, tomorrow or the day after would be better. I hate being alone." "Almost finished... then." I was stunned. We came all this way only to find that it was already near completion 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 unimaginably many, beautiful, and unforgettable daily moments. Amusement parks, fireworks festivals, the sea, train trips... and even world travel. It's a story of us truly becoming a "family," where those with nowhere to go become each other's home.

We all hold those 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.

Kaede. Please watch over us. With love... Shuichi Saihara
