The next morning, everyone headed to Maki's lab on the 3rd floor. Which just confirms that she is definitely..an assassin.
"Wh-What the heck is this?" Kaito panicked
"It's like...weapon warehouse." Gonta stated
"See, I told you she's not the Ultimate Child Caregiver... She's the Ultimate Assassin" Kokichi smiled
"You learned that from the motive video, right? Monokuma said everyone's ultimate talent at the beginning of their video—" Shuichi asked
"Hm? I knew the whole time. Given my position, I'd obviously know before any of you, right?"
"Your "position"? " Shuichi questioned
"It's another lie, don't worry about it." I said quietly.
In a way, I was kinda scared to even speak up after what happened yesterday. Everyone is so careful when they're around me now. As if I'll just snap at any given moment. I wonder if this is how Kokichi always feels... everybody distances themselves from him too. And yet, he still manages to act like his normal self.
"Anyway, her reaction yesterday pretty much gave away that she's the Ultimate Assassin." Said Kokichi
"But whyever did she lie about being the Ultimate Child Caregiver?" Kiyo asked
"Cuz assassins hide to do all their killing! If people find out they're assassins, they get all cautious and they can't kill anyone!" Miu shouted
"Did she hide her real identity because... she was planning to kill us?" Tsumugi questioned
"But then, why hasn't she killed anyone yet? She has had so many opportunities to do so." Keebo said
"Geez, robots can't even understand human feelings, let alone a girl's heart." Kokichi commented
"Please take back what you just said. I can too understand human feelings. But I'm still in the process of collecting data."
"If you're so worried, why don't you ask her? She's been holed up in her room all day. But I can't promise that she won't try to kill you like she tried to do to me..and Y/n. Nishishi, good thing everyone was there to stop her, but what about next time?" Said Kokichi
"The talent of a killer... That is the biggest threat to all of us who wish to survive." Kiyo said
"Let's just lock her up somewhere so she can't kill anyone." Miu suggested
"I'll leave that to you, Gonta.." Himiko said
"I'll help, too! I don't want another killing to happen." Tenko agreed
"What the hell is wrong with you guys?!" I yelled out and caught everyone's attention. The words left my mouth before I could even stop and think, everyone stared at me. "...Maki's not even trying to kill us? That's way too far—"
"A sneak attack is the way to go! We have to strike before she does! Hit her from behind!" Tenko cut me off
"No! At the end of the day, Maki is still human. With the wrong intention, any one of us could use our talent for murder. It's.. not right. Sure Maki specializes in killing, but doesn't mean she's been planning to kill one of us! She was lying about her talent because she knew that this is how you guys would react. She knew that you would all be suspicious of her once you found out." I explained. Even if I might not like Maki that much after what happened, the idea of locking her up somewhere was just...wrong.
"Exactly! Just leave Maki to me, I'll take down that mask of hers." Kaito said
"O-Kay! Let's leave everything to Kaito! Gonta, you should stand back. Nothing good ever happens when you try to help." Said Kokichi
