And now, the Records of Truth. Please take your seats one last time, once you have prepared your tea.
The First Twilight
The rest of the day was without incident, a eerie quietness covered the mansion after the events of lunch. Eventually, they gathered once more for dinner, but this time the meal was nothing to celebrate about. The food’s drop in quality due to the death of their chef reflected the atmosphere of the house. After eating, they all went their separate ways, heading to their rooms.
A young girl stopped her parent on the way through the hallways, and had a long chat that went late into the night. Another adult of the house had come to check on them, worried the older of the two might come to harm, but found nothing to worry about. cjlim2007 roleblocks Pepe, worried he might be dangerous. RedEspeon realized that Pepe might be in danger, so took steps to Protect him, however it wasn’t the Kill that the Witches had planned.
On the floor below, another adult woman was following someone at a distance, suspicious of the fact they’d been quite active during the day. The young man was the one to read the letter, after all, and she couldn’t shake off the feeling he might be up to something now that the family had turned in for the night. However, it became clear in time that the man had no plans to seek anyone out, and was just enjoying a stroll. With fatigue starting to catch up with her, she headed back to bed. Karifean follows DaBackpack, wondering how the experienced player would act. However, he visited no-one, so Karifean obtained no results.
Unfortunately, she wasn’t the only one who had been watching the young man. Before he could even realize he wasn’t alone, the man felt a sudden sharp pain in his chest, and looked down to see blood gushing out from his heart. He fell to the floor, and in his last moments cursed the fact that he had to leave before his love. Yerian kills DaBackpack, basically for the same reason he was Tracked.
Aspirety and StarTurner did not act this phase. StarTurner originally planned to Investigate DaBackpack, but backed off. He would of recieved no results this phase either way.
The Second Twilight
An older woman, rather content with the state of things despite the game, sat down to relax in the foyer rather than heading straight to bed. She decided she’d watch some TV to get her mind off the family and enjoy the precious hours that they weren’t playing puppet to The Crimson.
A young girl, as restless as ever, was the first to walk in on her. She decided to settle down alongside her, and brought in some tea, so the two could talk about various girl things like love and life. cjlim2007 roleblocks Aspirety. Karifean comes in to Track Aspirety, but recieves no results. **Moments later, the room became busier still, as a young man entered the room as well. He saw himself out, clearly intruding on the sacred ritual of girl talk, but once the door was closed behind him he quickly jotted down some notes on one of the women. Once again, Aspirety is the focus of attention, this time by StarTurner. He successfully discovers that Aspirety is Human Aligned.
The three stayed up long into the night, and as they became tired, the last woman to enter became the first to leave. She headed upstairs and towards her room, and as she reached into her pocket for a key, she suddenly felt an intense pain in her back. She swung around, intending to see the attacker as well as stun them with her elbow, but the culprit moved faster, and her chest was cut open before she could register exactly what she saw. Yerian kills Karifean.
Aspirety and RedEspeon did not act this phase.
The Third Twilight
The lady who had recieved so much attention the previous night finally decided she’d had enough of playing the bystander. Heading out, she encountered one of the house servants, and had her go send the boy who had walked in on the group last night to her, and deal with whatever might be keeping him from coming out. She quickly bowed and hurried off towards the boys room. Aspirety finally uses his ability, and swaps StarTurner and HeliosAlpha, making a very confusing night for the Witch Side.
The boy came out and met with his aunt, but was still seeking more information on the people in the house, so he welcomed the excuse to travel as a pair. He had intended to seek out his cousin, but she managed to run into them first. The girl, confused, said she had come intending to talk with someone else, but decided to stay with them instead after realizing her initial target wouldn’t be found. The boy had so much fun with his cousin and aunt that he forgot his suspicions, and his notebook remained untouched. cjlim2007 comes to roleblock HeliosAlpha, but finds StarTurner instead. StarTurner had planned to Investigate cjlim2007 this time, but the Roleblock took priority. If Aspirety had picked literally anyone else except HeliosAlpha, StarTurner would have found the first Witch Side player.
The servant girl finished up some formalities on some documents that the boy was working on, presumably part of his unexpected return. Realizing this was the chance for a short break, she decided to relax just a little while. She had been so busy with all the commotion and keeping the house in order that she hadn’t taken a real break in days, and knowing the kindness of the boy, he would wake him up and make sure this secret nap wasn’t found out.
However, it wasn’t the boy that woke her up. She jolted upright at the sound of part of the roof breaking and collapsing in, and before she could even scream she was stunned with the pain of a blade through her chest. In her final moments, all she heard was the assassin realizing his mistake, panicking at the accidental, unfortunate result. It was chance that lead her to be here instead of the room’s actual occupant, so maybe this was just the the fate of the roulette. Both the victim and culprit shared that same thought. And of course, on the opposite side, Yerian comes to kill StarTurner but hits HeliosAlpha instead.
And that’s it, we’re done! Thank you all for participating in the first Rokkenjima Mafia! I hope to see you all again one day soon. Use your experience and learning from this time and make the next game even better!

Natsuhi Epilogue
“Was this enough?” “Was I able to protect my family?” “Did I make myself worthy of the Ushiromiya name?” These are the questions that Natsuhi asks herself as she watches in terror upon finding out the truth. She can no longer remember the details of the final lynching. The shock upon finding out she was wrong was too much for her to handle. Who was it that killed Eva? Was it Genji? Or maybe Battler’s sudden appearance was more than coincidence. Either way, it no longer matters.
Acting purely on instinct, Natsuhi returns to her quarters. She takes out one of the final treasures given to her by Krauss, and heads out of the mansion, to a cliff with a majestic view of the seaside. “This is where it all started, isn’t it?” she thinks to herself, as memories, hidden deep within her, resurface. “Perhaps this was all my fault, even from the very beginning.”
“You gave me this for protection. To protect the family and our heritage.” She says to herself as she loads a bullet into the barrel of the shotgun. “I never realized I would have to use it to protect the family from myself.” She lifts the barrel and aims to shoot. “My only hope is that Jessica can remain safe, and succeed where I failed in protecting the Ushiromiya name.”
Those were her last words, as a loud BANG echoed across the island, followed by the dull sound of impact at the bottom of the cliff. Natsuhi was never seen again.
