Monokumada laughed at everyone trying to solve the murder, it lacked a team effort and it appeared that only one person was on the right track.

"Oh boy, at this rate you're all going to die! How about I fix it like this... The trial will have five phases, the first is a free topic phase, the second how the murder happened, or how about you shitheads make your own rules. All you need to know is each phase lasts 15 minutes, and at the end of each of them you can ask me a question about the evidence. Sound clear? Better ask that question wisely or else you know what happens."

"Oh, would you look at that, my students are silent today. Well isn't that a shame, I was hoping one of you would have gone insane by now. Now back to the question, I'm guessing you guys want to ask if the hairs belong to two people? Well here, this is how many people it belongs to."

Monokumada raised the finger (Middle finger) with a smirk on his face.

PHASE 2 HAS BEGUN

Yuina "Yu" Nakajima
Location: Class Trial Area


With: The Harem


(And everyone else)

With all the yelling and demand for order it seemed like they were doing anything but a class trial, it was more comparable to a food fight than a sophisticated debate, but again, why the hell should you debate the established way? Yuina was confident she knew who the murderer was, and she wouldn't back down unless someone could beat her argument, but for the sake of organization they'd have to go over everyone slowly or some shit like that.




For Organization:

"So let's start going through everything first, like how the murder happened. I agree with Phoenix, we just started and we're already accusing people."

With Monokumada's answer to their question, that ruled out the possibility of two murderers. If anything confusing came up they could just ask Monokumada, but would they be able to solve it all before the final phase?

"But I don't really give a shit how we do the trial, as long as we find the blackened. Personally I think the murderer is Mao Miki, if any of you have an argument going against my accusation, then bring it on!"





Her blood was boiling, this trial was going to be fucking hectic.



​

 

[Miika]

Aiko bit her lip, swearing silently. This boy was making her angry to no belief, but thanks to her panic attack, she hadn't been able to explore the scene.


"Why are we even throwing accusations around when we don't even have all the information yet...?" It was obvious that the actress was getting upset. "Unlike the a parent most of you, I want to be able to work together to solve this instead of squabbling like children!"

 

[Kittymonk]

Shiori Hatoyama


Status: "Contemplative"


With: Everyone

Shiori looked between Yuina and Monokumada, feeling her chest knot up. Argumentativeness wasn't in her nature--in fact, fighting people often made her feel sick and unhappy--but what the baseball pitcher said had to be addressed; she didn't technically have to be the one to speak, but only she could express the thoughts going through her head, even if her opinion was shared by the other students. "I thought we weren't going to start accusing people yet," Shiori said to Yuina, trying to keep her voice from wavering. She was aware that she appeared nervous with her hands clenched by her chest, but if she was going to say something strong, she needed to at least sound strong while she was saying it. Otherwise, it would sound worthless. "I'm sorry to sound rude, but what you said seems sort of hypocritical. I think we should take it back a few steps; instead of focusing on who it was or anything, we should focus on how it happened. Isn't that what Monokumada suggested we do during the 'second phase'? Of course, he's not a reliable source, but I think we'll hit a dead end if we try accusing people right off the bat. Once we establish how it happened and start to profile a culprit, then we can worry about alibis and start shortening the suspect list...or, at least, that's what I'm thinking. We can do something else if you all would rather take this in a different direction." She was basically muttering by the end of her statement, too afraid of her classmates' reply to her suggestion to continue ranting on about it. Attempting to build up her confidence again, though, she spoke once more. "So, does anyone have any theories as to how the mirror in the bathroom was broken? When I looked, there didn't seem to be any blunt objects that the culprit could have smashed it with, and if it were broken in a struggle, the victim would have had shards of glass in her skin, right?"


Shiori couldn't help but wonder why the baseball pitcher suspected Mao Miki in particular. The girl--who was dressed as a maid for a reason Shiori couldn't discern--didn't appear to be acting especially out of the ordinary. Or, at least, not any more out of the ordinary than anyone else. If anyone, the baseball pitcher was looking dubious, what with her call to end the accusations being followed directly by an accusation and a challenge to the class to argue with her. An act like that was extremely unusual; not necessarily suspicious, but definitely unusual.

"Ugh....Peasants...."

Location: Class Trial

As Sehema listened to Alex's question, she felt her eye twitching once he said that she admitted to owning the knife. She felt a bewildered stare forming on her face. "You...You didn't hear a single thing I said did you? At what point did I own up to having a knife on me?!" She suddenly looked down to calm herself before she started saying things to make the case even more complicated. Listening to Yu and Aiko's arguments cause her to look up.

"Brilliant. Now if you two have time to argue, then you two have time to talk about clues. Now if you don't have anything of value to add onto this case besides complaints and baseless accusations, then I suggest you listen to those of us who actually put forth the effort to investigate. I, for one, have no desires to be killed here with the likes of you." She said in a mocking tone as she narrowed her eyes at Yu and Aiko before listening to Shiori. Once she asked if anyone knew how the bathroom was broken, Sehema placed a hand on her chin. "Well there were bruises all over her body so it's possible she could have been pushed into the mirror with enough force for it to break. She didn't look very durable so it could be possible. Or maybe one of the cosmetics was thrown into the mirror? Then again, if anyone can prove otherwise then I suggest you say so now." She looked around looking for anyone to prove her wrong.​

 

[Kiseichu]

Alouette Martel

"I believe it's time we get a little organized here."


The amount of accusations flying across the room have been far too many for the past twenty minutes. So it was a battle of whoever spoke the loudest then.


"Let's do a little recap and go over the evidence first. On her body, there was a head wound, a large piece of glass in her neck, and bruises all over the body. All over the bathroom floor were glass shards, and a letter and hair dye were found beneath the sinks. Notably, outside there was a trail of blood. Two locks of hair were found in the victim's hand, she gripped the lock of dark blue hair tightly while loosely holding onto the violet hair. I believe Sehema told us about finding that one of the strands of dark blue hair the victim was holding didn't smell of ammonia, and she also found some cosmetics on the second floor."



​

 

[Dreamtique]

"Is it how the murder went?"

Hiro Michio


"Why should we waste our time continuing the discussion, the culprit is obvious to us already isn't it?"


"Tanaka Rin is the only person here with dark blue hair, the hair in Kyoko's hair must come from her, does it takes a Sherlock to figure that out?!"


"I mean... even that maid girl can figure that out!"


Mao Miki


"H-Huh, w-what happened? A-are we done yet?" Miki was trying different poses to sleep while standing up, seeking for a most comfortable posture, but suddenly startled by Michio.


Hiro Michio


"Why shouldn't we just agree that she committed the crime?! We have the dark blue hair in Kyoko's hand as proof, is that not enough?! We can pretty much omit the violet hair in her hand if we know clearly that Tanaka Rin definitely has something to do with the murder."


"I witness her carrying weapons around and lurking around the school suspiciously, she was definitely planning something, planning to kill Kyoko!"


"What else would she be doing then? She couldn't even try to think up of an excuse! Indirectly, she was admitting that she was doing something she doesn't want us to know. The answer is clear to us already!"


"She brings along the weapons, getting herself ready for her plan to kill Kyoko. She attacked Kyoko when she found the chance, and they have a fight. During their fight, Kyoko pulled off some of Tanaka Rin's hair."


"She is definitely the killer!"


Michio was overwhelmed, he didn't seem to be coorperating, or had the will to. He wanted to end this madness already, the fact that they can't even have a moment to get over how someone was brutally murdered, and now they will have to waste all of their energy on finding the culprit, he was too tired to continue all of this. Tanaka Rin was the obvious culprit here, he didn't feel the need to dive into the murder case anymore, eliminating that "disgusting criminal" will be his only priority now.

 

[Ammokkx]

the hair in Kyoko's hand must come from her

"No, that's wrong!" Yaeger suddenly interjected, feeling a certain rush going through his body. "It can't belong to just her... From what I recall, both locks were dyed. If the killer didn't want to leave evidence and had dark blue hair, why didn't they try to dye it purple as well? Kyoko may have been gripping onto it tightly, but she was weakened from blood loss. You could easily pry open her hand, take it, and plant it back again..." Yaeger thought about what he was saying. If the killer didn't take away the hair, then why was it there? Furthermore, she wasn't gripping tightly onto the other locks of hair. Yaeger rattled around in his head, but he couldn't make sense of why you'd do that. "Wait... If the victim ripped the hair off of somebody's head, wouldn't that be noticable? I mean, it'd clearly show if you were missing hair..."

Katsukou Yanaki


SHSL Snowboard Champion


[/border]

Katsukou watches the trail hall unfold itself with unseeing eyes. The teen's back is bent forward and he leans heavily on the wooden rail in front of him. The shock of today's event have left the boy... numb, so to say. He just wants to be home. To mother's cooking that melts his heart, to the rumbling of father's truck, and to his room, where he can smell the pine of the mountain and cocoon himself with his quilts until he feels better. Sadly, his beloved quilts are not on his dorm bed.


Dull amber eyes sweep the rounded hall as flashes of the bloodied principle's body and the murdered student's body hang behind his lids. It is crazy to think that whoever put him in here expects him and the other students to kill, but already there are two dead people. As if getting kidnapped from home and waking up alone in an unfamiliar room wasn't enough, his kidnappers want him to play an extreme game of Mafia?


With the much yelling going on in the hall, Katsukou blinks his eyes hard. He blinks few more times in an attempt to wake himself from his withdrawal. He slowly stands straighter, being careful because of the wave of nausea he felt earlier. The situation he is in right now is ridiculous, yes, but it is too early to give up now. It is embarrassing that the snowboarder acted the way he did, but once he and his classmates find who the Blacken is, Katsukou can get to know his fellow classmates. Like seriously, he's surrounded by beautiful girls like Yuina Nakajima, the baseball player, and Aiko Munakata, the stunt actress. There is even the drummer guy, Kenshin Miyake, that he and his friends have talked about and the gamer girl, Aoi Yoko (his friends are going to be so jealous).


Finding the spirit to help, Katsukou looks down at his PDA and looks through it for any useful information, while at the same time he listens to everyone's statements. He scratches his head. He should have paid attention from the start. He does remember bits and pieces of the first stage, but Katsukou doesn't trust his phantom memories.


"It's suspicious that Alouette was in the crime scene with a piece of evidence in hand, but I think she wouldn't have the time to wash up with all that blood sprayed about and the victim screaming bloody murder." Katsukou pauses, frowning, and continues. "As for the head wound, what if her (the victim) head was smashed against the mirror but didn't break. Instead, the murderer used some other object to break the mirror, like the knife handle? Hum? But why the mirror if the murderer had the knife?" Why would the murderer smash the victim's head instead of slicing them? That takes a lot more time. Katsukou stops with his thinking, realising he has stopped talking and is thinking to himself.


"Ah, Sorry." Katsukou apologises. A light blush creeps up to his cheeks. His first impression to some of the students here could have been unsightly. The sudden, barbaric elimination of the school principle and the anxiety build up from the stress of school have caused the boy to run away from the gym and vomited. From then on, Katsukou has locked himself in his room, refusing to go out, feeling sick and homesick.

Nao Matsuoka

Alouette Martel gave them a much needed recap on the evidence, and it helped a lot. The first thing Nao had in mind was finding the blackened as soon as possible, but that didn't seem very likely with everyone shouting out their own theories.


"O-Okay... Let's start from the beginning. So we know Kyoko was killed in the bathroom, and Alouette felt a gust of wind by her, and the mirror is broken. I agree with Yuina, the head wound and the broken mirror idea seems pretty likely."


He didn't notice it, but as soon as he spoke his entire face started to slowly turn red. There was a strange urge to hide himself, to cover his face with his hands but Nao knew what self control was, Nao wasn't the time for that. (Haha, puns!)


"So the killer must have used some hair dye before Kyoko was killed, and Sehema found a can of it in the bathroom. If the killing was planned, then why would they leave their can of hair dye in the bathroom?"





Looking at Nao right Nao, you'd see a tomato with black hair, two eyes, a mouth, and a nose on it, a cute tomato. (More puns!)

Hiro Michio


"How do you explain that then, this proof that although the hair are freshly dyed, there do are some undyed dark blue hairs, this means that the hair original colour is dark blue." Michio frowned.


@Ammokkx

 

[Ammokkx]

Yaeger listened closely as Katsukou tried to explain Aloutte's presence at the crime scene, but could find any useful information in his statements. Something was still off. Then Nao stated the killer used some hair dye before Kyoko was killed... Which made sense, since the body was found still conscious. "Hm..." Yaeger couldn't put his finger on a lingering thought he had, but then Michio spoke up.

Hiro Michio
"How do you explain that then, this proof that although the hair are freshly dyed, there do are some undyed dark blue hairs, this means that the hair original colour is dark blue."

Then something clicked in Yaeger's head. If the killer had dyed their hair before the murder... "Wait... Could there be someone in this very room with hair dye right now?" Yaeger asked as broadly as possible. "If you think about it, only Tanaka has blue hair at the moment. But how do we know that someone hasn't dyed their hair into a different color?" Yaeger continued on. But that didn't make enough sense yet. Nao brought up why the killer would leave two cans... "That still leaves us with the issue on why the killer would leave behind those cans, though. I also can't explain who's hair was dyed blue and clutched in the victim's hands..."

"If you can't explain that fully, then why not just admit that Tanaka Rin is the killer!? Instead of letting your imagination run wild and waste our time here!" Mishio was annoyed.

"M-Michio big brother, p-please calm down......" Noticing that Michio was interrupting the flow of the trial, Yoko frowned worriedly.


The girl hesitated for awhile before she finally decided to speak.


"Michio big brother...I am sorry, but you've still got many things wrong in what you said just now..."


Yoko looked at Michio, she didn't say a word.

A little help here, fire away. @Ammokkx

she was definitely planning something, planning to kill Kyoko

Is the murder really planned?

She brings along the weapons, getting herself ready for her plan to kill Kyoko.

Does the murderer really bring along weapons?

She attacked Kyoko when she found the chance, and they have a fight. During their fight, Kyoko pulled off some of Tanaka Rin's hair.

Does Tanaka Rin and Kyoko get into a fight? And Tanaka Rin's hair get pulled off by Kyoko during the fight?

only person here with dark blue hair

Is Tanaka Rin really the only person here with dark blue hair?

The lady frowned in annoyance, trying to ignore Michio's accusation completely, not even bothered to look at the rampaging boy.


Staring into the blank space with a cold face, the lady then slowly closed her eyes, remained silent.

You tried to take care of things all at once, you admit. Heroism is quite the appealing endeavor for you, but you aren't an SHSL Investigator. Even if answers to your questions would let you solve the case, It does no good if the questions themselves are drowned in pandemonium. That being said, an SHSL Swagger is good at everything they do, wouldn't you say so?


Speaking of Heroes, Hiro presses his accusation of Tanaka. First, you'd like to clear up what you said about Sehema. You'd hate to let something so trivial come between you and her. "Sehema, you confirmed you were in the library as the others saw you, right? They said the figure they saw dropped a knife."


Then you turn to the more annoying one. "Ey, Hiro, sorry to say, it's your imagination running wild and wasting time. We have a single strand of hair we found far from the scene of the crime that may or may not be involved in the case, and then we have two dyed locks of hairs in the actual victim's hand, one of which can't have been Tanaka's." You point to Monokumada. "This guy just confirmed we only have one culprit here, so if Tanaka's the killer, tell us why she needed to dye her hair dark blue?" The conclusion was already foregone. "Whoever killed Kyoko had dyed their hair purple and dark blue before the murder took place, then washed it afterwards." You can't help but smirk to yourself like a smug child. Theatrics like this are second nature to you. "Can you say it could be any other way?"

The girl hesitated for awhile before she finally decided to speak.


"Michio big brother...I am sorry, but you've still got many things wrong in what you said just now..."


Yoko looked at Michio, she didn't say a word.

Yaeger felt a little... attacked, to say the least. A small girl was trying to calm the skinny boy down, but they were completely freaking out. Alex interjected and pointed out the two locks of dyed hair, but Yaeger wasn't sure if that was enough to convince the kid. The chemist had to think back on every single one of Michio's points, then refute them one by one to finally put an end to this charade.


"Tanaka Rin is the only person here with dark blue hair, the hair in Kyoko's hair must come from her, does it takes a Sherlock to figure that out?!"


Was Tanaka Rin really the only one with natural, Dark blue hair? Yaeger looked around the courtroom. There was always the possibility the murderer had dyed their hair to hide their own, but that was too far-fetched. Yaeger's eyes rested on a certain tall boy in the crowd. "Wait... Tanaka isn't the only one with dark blue hair." Yaeger interjected, looking over to Zavier. "Satou... Your hair is blue too, isn't it?" The boy asked a simple question, then looked back at Michio. "If we assume off of the basis that they're the killer because of Dark Blue hair, then Satou is just as likely of a suspect," the boy pointed out. Alright, the next point was...


"I witness her carrying weapons around and lurking around the school suspiciously, she was definitely planning something, planning to kill Kyoko!"


Yaeger thought about it. This murder was in no way planned, it couldn't be. "No... Didn't Barton just testify to the effect Aiko was with him the entire time up until right before the murder? If Tanaka had planned this out, there was no way she could have predicted the victim would run into the bathroom." That, and the entire thing seemed a little too spur-of-the-moment. Still, Michio still had two more points.


"She brings along the weapons, getting herself ready for her plan to kill Kyoko. She attacked Kyoko when she found the chance, and they have a fight. During their fight, Kyoko pulled off some of Tanaka Rin's hair."


No... this couldn't be right, could it? If Rin wanted to murder Kyoko with brute force, she'd easily overpower them. Not only that, but if Rin brought along a weapon then... "Did the victim really pull out hair? I mean, we all know the cause of death was the glass shard. If Tanaka had brought a weapon, she wouldn't have needed to get into a struggle... and if there was a struggle, how would the victim have gotten to Tanaka's hair? She's a lot more physically capable, for one. Not to mention, there were only small cuts all over Kyoko's body. Those don't look anything like what a weapon would do to her, and the bruise on her head implies that she was fighting someone who is as physically capable as her, not more capable."

As Alouette organized the clues, Sehema took notice to the mention of a letter. "What did the letter say?" Maybe it was a lure from the killer to draw Kyoko away from Mark, or maybe vice versa? The blonde figured it would be best to keep that assumption quiet for right now. She then turned her attention to Alex gently shaking her head.

"True I was in the library, but I wasn't the figure they saw. In fact, Chess can vouch for me since they were in the library before me." Hopefully that would have quelled the questions about a knife. She felt her head beginning to hurt as Hiro continued to accuse Tanaka Rin while the accused stayed awfully quiet. It did make sense to accuse the people with dark blue hair as Zavier possessed it too. She then looked at Tanaka and Zavier and asked. "Would you guys mind if the person beside you smelled your hair? Can we do that? It could clear the suspicion, but it could help with a concern of mine." A part of her wanted Rin to be innocent just to shut the determined Hiro up, but it was more so to follow a hunch she was slowly growing concerned about.​

From the sounds of it, it seems most of the students agrees that the victim's head was smashed against the mirror. Katsukou, however, doesn't believe that the mirror broke because of the head on collision due to the lack of blood on the person's head. The victim could have hit her head against some other why, like against the sink, but Katsukou keeps that thought to himself. No need to bring new theories when the class moved on to new topics - the hairs.


Smelling hair might help solve things, but that hope was crushed when Monokumada tells them off. Well, there goes that chance. Guess they will have to do a prosses of elimination, or something like that. Speculate and reason.


There are two coloured hair, dark blue and purple. So somehow the murderer was able to dye their (her, Katsukou corrects himself) hair while the model was fighting and screaming for her life? That sounds ludicrous.


"What if all the hairs are dyed before the murder happened?" Katsukou speaks out "Like, where is the time for the murderer to dye their hair twice? Ah, maybe the murderer doesn't need to dye their whole hair but instead dyed a bit of their hair. But that doesn't explain the dye bottle found on the second floor... maybe the murderer forgot to clean up."


Instead of focusing on the bottle, Katsukou wonders why the murderer used the dark blue and purple hairs. The snowboarder looks at the Ultimate Trickster, Mark Barton. The athlete remembers the teen pointing to a lot of people a while back, and Mark pointed to two individual with dark blue hair and purple hair. Wait, Yoko Aoi? The tiny gamer has no to attack anyone at any given chance. Clearly, someone tried to frame her if Yoko was involved.


Framing the dark hair teenager also make sense. The girl looks like she knows how to fight and from listening to others, she would have gone right for the kill instead of whatever had happened in the bathroom. Plus, Katsukou thinks that the dark, serious girl would let anything get past her, like that scream.


"Maybe the two hairs are used to throw us off to the real killer's hair." Katsukou shoves his hand in his white hoodie pockets and shifts his weight to his left leg. "Maybe the murderer witness whatever was going on between Kyoko, Yoko, and the girl over there." Katsukou looks over to the girl with long dark blue hair. "Rin, right?"

Things get annoying when people get hung up on the wrong details. You think it's time for a recap.


"Katsukou, you seem confused. Maybe I should recap what we all know, so we're all on the same page here.


The murder happened sometime after midnight. The victim was Kyoko. She was lured their because of a note written by Monokumada, promising makeup. There, someone killed her. There was a struggle, and Kyoko received several minor wounds, a head wound, and a large glass shard lodged into her neck. The shattered bathroom mirror is probably where it came from. The killer was in a rush, and ran before Kyoko died. It seems safe to say that the murder wasn't pre-meditated. If it was, the cause of death wouldn't have been a glass shard, and there probably wouldn't have been a struggle. Monokumada probably set it up to happen, what with the bathroom light not working, but that's not important. Two people witnessed the killer running to the second floor." That also confirms that Alouette and Sehema are innocent, even though they might as well be professional knife jugglers with how suspicious either's testimony is. The knife had to come from either one of them, the kitchen, or the baseball girl, and you get the feeling that that last possibility wouldn't bother with a knife.


You sigh. "Alouette also found a bloodied knife, and she still hasn't said where, but Kyoko didn't have any knife wounds, so let's focus on the topic at hand. Kyoko was holding two locks of hair." You look directly at Katsukou. "They both smelled of ammonia, which means they were both dyed within the last day or two. Monokumada said they both belong to the same person. The only way this can happen is if they dyed their hair both colors before the murder. After all, they didn't have time during or after it. Not when we saw Kyoko die."


You find your stare drifting over to Hiro. "This means that whoever actually has violet or dark blue hair can't be the killer. Both locks of hair Kyoko was holding were dyed. The murder wasn't pre-meditated, so there would have been absolutely no point to dyeing their hair the same color." You cross your arms. "We found a single strand of undyed dark blue hair on the second floor. It means Tanaka has been to the second floor. If you want to accuse her of anything more than that, you need more evidence."


Your eyes drift. "Past that, we're at a stand-still. There was dark blue dye on the second floor, but it doesn't really tell us anything by itself." You then realize you've found the perfect question to ask Monokumada. He won't tell you who the hairs belong to, you're sure, but... "Hey, Kumada, whose fingerprints were on the dark blue dye on the second floor?"

Yuina "Yu" Nakajima

The first part of the murder had been solved, now that they all figured out how it happened, it was either time for alibis, or guessing who the blackened was. Of course, Yuina still thought Mao Miki was the blackened, but she'd save that for later. However, the maid's behavior was quite strange, calm, a little too calm. Tanaka Rin wasn't even defending herself, was she trying to get everyone killed? Selfish bastards.

"Now that we figured out how the murder happened, we can work on alibis. But first, I need to ask a question. For every murder, there is a motive, so what would be the motive for this murder? Since we already agree that it was not planned, it would have to be done on a whim. If any of you remember the lure letter, then that would most likely be the motive. I suggest for the next question, we should ask Monokumada if he wrote the letter. I'm sure that he did, but once we get confirmation we can start picking off people from the list of suspects."

They were getting closer and closer till the end, she wondered what the execution would be like.

Yaeger felt a little... attacked, to say the least. A small girl was trying to calm the skinny boy down, but they were completely freaking out. Alex interjected and pointed out the two locks of dyed hair, but Yaeger wasn't sure if that was enough to convince the kid. The chemist had to think back on every single one of Michio's points, then refute them one by one to finally put an end to this charade.
"Tanaka Rin is the only person here with dark blue hair, the hair in Kyoko's hair must come from her, does it takes a Sherlock to figure that out?!"


Was Tanaka Rin really the only one with natural, Dark blue hair? Yaeger looked around the courtroom. There was always the possibility the murderer had dyed their hair to hide their own, but that was too far-fetched. Yaeger's eyes rested on a certain tall boy in the crowd. "Wait... Tanaka isn't the only one with dark blue hair." Yaeger interjected, looking over to Zavier. "Satou... Your hair is blue too, isn't it?" The boy asked a simple question, then looked back at Michio. "If we assume off of the basis that they're the killer because of Dark Blue hair, then Satou is just as likely of a suspect," the boy pointed out. Alright, the next point was...


"I witness her carrying weapons around and lurking around the school suspiciously, she was definitely planning something, planning to kill Kyoko!"


Yaeger thought about it. This murder was in no way planned, it couldn't be. "No... Didn't Barton just testify to the effect Aiko was with him the entire time up until right before the murder? If Tanaka had planned this out, there was no way she could have predicted the victim would run into the bathroom." That, and the entire thing seemed a little too spur-of-the-moment. Still, Michio still had two more points.


"She brings along the weapons, getting herself ready for her plan to kill Kyoko. She attacked Kyoko when she found the chance, and they have a fight. During their fight, Kyoko pulled off some of Tanaka Rin's hair."


No... this couldn't be right, could it? If Rin wanted to murder Kyoko with brute force, she'd easily overpower them. Not only that, but if Rin brought along a weapon then... "Did the victim really pull out hair? I mean, we all know the cause of death was the glass shard. If Tanaka had brought a weapon, she wouldn't have needed to get into a struggle... and if there was a struggle, how would the victim have gotten to Tanaka's hair? She's a lot more physically capable, for one. Not to mention, there were only small cuts all over Kyoko's body. Those don't look anything like what a weapon would do to her, and the bruise on her head implies that she was fighting someone who is as physically capable as her, not more capable."

"Tch!" Michio looked away from the speaking crowd, his darted around in confusion as he listen.


"......"


"But still!"


"M-Michio...stop his already." Yoko cut in, and stopped Michio.


Michio turned to look at the little girl.


"If even all of that is not enough for you......"


"I can be Tanaka Rin's alibi! She was with me all the time! Even when the murder happened!"


"H-Huh?"


Tanaka Rin


The lady was surprised, she turned to Yoko and frowned at her statement, with a surprised look on her face.





"I said it, Tanaka was with me all the time, I can be her alibi......"


"Y-Yoko...you must be threaten by that lady right...she must had forced you to......"


"No, stop...please, even if you don't trust big sister..."


"...trust me."


"T-Then what could she be doing with all of those weapons? N-no one would carry that much weapon and lurked around if she was not planning to hurt someone......" Michio frozen still for a while before he decided to speak again, but with more stuttering this time.


Mao Miki


"Perhapse it's the other way round."


"Maybe if I sleep the other way round, it will feel better!" Miki turned around, ending up in weird position and started sleeping again.


The......other way round?


Something clicked in Michio's head, the boy felt a sudden thought detonated in his head.


Could it be......


Michio frowned bitterly and lowered his head, he peeked at Tanaka Rin before he raised his head and turned to the others slowly.


"......"


"Let's continue to discuss who the killer could be then......" Michio said faintly in a barely audible tone.


"Yoko, if what you said is true, that Tanaka Rin is with you all the time...then Tanaka Rin should not have been to the second floor right?"


Yoko nodded her head lightly.

It means Tanaka has been to the second floor. If you want to accuse her of anything more than that, you need more evidence.

"As for where I was, I was in the library looking around, just as they said. I didn't feel well after my investigation, so I left to go to my room. While I walked down the stairs, a person with dark blue hair passed me traveling up the stairs, but I didn't pay them any mind.

"Wait, if Tanaka Rin was with you all the time and didn't leave you. Then how come...the undyed dark blue hair was found on the second floor... and how come Sehema claimed to witness a person with dark blue hair passing by her at the second floor?"

Ayu had been quiet after her little outburst, trying to follow the chatter in the room attentively. They had made some progress in how the murder happened, and there was a thesis of the killer having dyed hair at this moment. That couldn't be true, otherwise they'd be giving themselves away. Alex' idea of the killer dying it twice and then washing it was much more likely. Still, Monokumada prevented them from checking which left them at another impasse. Yuina shifted the conversation to the motive to try and continue the debate... but her arguments were off. <span style="color:#ed1c24;">"No, the letter can't be it. It only specified cosmetics being in the bathroom. They could have very well just shared them, unless you're implying the murder happened over something as petty as hair dye."</span> Ayu rebutted, but then it was Michio's turn to try and derail them again. This time, however, he brought up a good point. If Tanaka Rin was on the ground floor at the time, and there was a strand of natural dark blue hair found on the second floor as well as the sighting of a person, that left them with a mystery to solve. This could loop back to Yaeger's theory where someone still has their hair dyed, but that would make no sense. Why would someone of dark blue hair dye it in the same color...? Dying it twice like Alex suggested didn't sound like it made any sense either. One possibility was that Kyoko ripped the hair out before it was dyed, but then it wouldn't smell. This line of reasoning was going in circles. As Ayu was thinking of something, she could hear someone else sudenly shout <span style="color:#1a7b30;">"Hold on!"</span> as if they had an epiphany. It was Yaeger, of course, whom had been very vocal throughout the trial. <span style="color:#1a7b30;">"You're saying someone passed by on the second floor...? But that's impossible! Me, Shiori, Yuina and Arisu were still on the third floor. If someone had been around on the second floor, we would have ran into them while going downstairs... But we didn't run into anyone."</span> Ayu raised an eyebrow at that comment. <span style="color:#ed1c24;">"You know what I think? We should go over everyone's alibi one more time,"</span> Ayu offered. She knew it would hurt her as well, but it was important if they wanted to find the truth. She could lie about where she was at the time, but the twins saw her. So there wasn't any excuse. <span style="color:#ed1c24;">"Chess-</span><span style="color:#ed1c24;"><em>san</em></span><span style="color:#ed1c24;">,"</span> Ayu bit her tongue again. Force of habit. <span style="color:#ed1c24;">"and Matsuoka claim to have been on the library. Miyake and Rijinder were in their rooms, and so was I. Sequenzia, Yuniche, Nakajima and Hatoyama were on the third floor. Yoko and Tanaka were together the entire time. Barton was with Aiko up until right before the murder. Munakata was outside of the bathroom."</span> Ayu had recapped everyone she recalled giving an alibi. So that means... <span style="color:#ed1c24;">"Cardona, Jioto, Tachibana, Miki, Satou, Hiro and the Watanabe twins... Where were you when the murder happened?"</span> Ayu asked to them. She had nobody to back up her own alibi, but she'll cross that bridge when she comes to it.
