“... Why did you save me?”

“Well, just because.”

“Just because?”

Ikusaba-san nodded and dropped her gaze down to her feet. After a few moments of silence, she gently opened
her mouth again.

“For example, it’s like a video game RPG...”

Video game?

It’s like that?

“Like a straightforward RPG or something...the people who live in that world, it looks like they have their
own will, but it just looks like that...in the end they are just scripted to act in a way convenient for the game...it’s the
same with the protagonist, it’s just that the protagonist doesn’t even realize what he is...”

“What are you...trying to say?”

“Um, well, my fight with the Madarais wasn’t a coincidence...actually it’s the same with the Madarais coming
to the Neurology Laboratory...and the same with removing the unnecessary Kirigiri-san from the scenario...everything
was determined right from the beginning.”

“W-What do you mean by determined?”

“The same goes for me. I’m just moving along as scripted with her scenario...moving accordingly to her will,
only to prevent the scenario from taking the wrong path...”

“Her?”

“Tm talking about Junko Enoshima of course.”

At that moment it felt like my blood froze.

As expected, everything returns to Junko Enoshima. Everything from getting me or Matsuda-kun or involved,
it’s all because of that horrible girl, wait what?”
