Everyone looked at the body fearfully as they processed what was happening.
As everyone stared at the body, a voice echoed throughout the hotel breaking everyone out of there trance."hello guests of Hope's Peak hotel, you have 20 minutes to investigate before the trial starts. Good luck." A cheery voice called out.
"Heh, this is tooooo, easy. I already know who the culprit is so you all may have fun investigating this crime." Ren snickered as he left the scene of the crime to do something that seemed more useful.
Shinju didn't know where to start and she could feel the despair and grief her friend must be feeling from this event. Shinju walked over to the body in order to start The investigation and find the killer of Naoko. Shiro soon followed along with Gorou who stared at the bloody mess in disgust not wanting any part in it but felt obligated In spectating.
Shinju knelt down by her friends lifeless corpse and pulled out the monopad she had been given.

Victim: Naoko Nishimura
Cod: stab wound to the stomach
Time of death: 7:40pm
Body discovered: 8:04pm

The victim appeared to have no resistance wounds and was killed shortly after being stabbed. The victim also had a wound on the back of their head as if they fell onto something blunt.

Shinju put away the monopad breathing heavily as she stared at her friend. Tears started to well up in her eyes as she uncontrollably let the tears run down her face. Shiro noticed and put a hand upon her shoulder as Gorou leaned against the wall opposite of Naoko.
Shinju, finally getting a hold upon herself looks at the knife which had been from the kitchen. She also knew that nobody could have entered the kitchen through the dining room due to the fact Katsuo, Chikako and Hinata had been sitting there. How did the killer grab this knife without being spotted, and if they had grabbed it earlier, how did nobody notice the missing knife? Shinju was hoping that this question would be answered soon as she had become anxious to get out of this room.
Shiro on the other hand was not looking at the body but at a shimmering object that sat upon the glass shards of the shower and covered by the blood of Naoko. Shiro finding this interesting jotted this down in his notepad before picking it up which forced Gorou to turn around due to his OCD. The object that shimmered had a single spot of gold and looked as if in the shape of a ring as well.
"Hey, Shinju, look at this." Shiro hands her the ring as she looks it over
"A ring?" Shinju asked confused to why this would be anywhere near the crime scene.
Shiro took the ring back from Shinju who looked disgusted by the blood on her fingers. "I'm assuming that it's from the killer, but there is a possibility that it was frame." Shiro said pondering as neither of them paid attention to what Gorou was doing.
There was a loud thud from behind them, they turned around to see that Gorou had fallen through the wall that had been hiding a hallway that lead to what appeared to be a dead end.
Gorou got up rubbing his head as he got up from the ground. He looked down the hall say, "dusty old thing." Before walking down the passage that had been revealed with Shinju following. They walked down the short hallway and found themselves at a dead end with no place to go, until Shiro showed up and squeezed past them looking at the dead end up and down until he was certain that something was on the other side.
Shiro felt the wooden frame until he felt a piece of wood he could push. He uses his force to push it open and as we it moved, they heard the sound of shattering glass hitting the floor which could only mean that they had just entered the bathroom of another room. They looked at the bathroom for a sec and then walked in looking the place over top to bottom for clues that could point them toward the killer.
Shinju, curious to whose room this was opens the door that lead to the bedroom and noticed it was hers and Atsuko's room. She looked around the room while the two males continued looking for anything that could be useful. Shinju wondered why there was a passage that lead to her room and then she wondered if there were more; a ton of passages that lead to different rooms. With this realization she re entered the bathroom and started to knock on the other wall until she found a hollow spot which she opened to find a similar: old, short, dusty, and dim hallway that most likely lead to the room next to hers.
Shinju ran out of the room and back to the place of the murder looking around to find something they hadn't noticed such as the bloody pile of glass that was located in the corner of the room along with a dust pan. Shinju didn't pay attention to the glass but instead the wall behind Naoko which she pushed open to find the hallway that was exactly like the other two she saw before hand. She ran down the hallway and jump through to the other end and found a bathroom where she found keys?
Upon the ground were keys to what would appear to all the rooms on this floor. Shinju then opened the door that would lead into The bedroom where she found both Katsuo and Chikako.
Katsuo had his jumpsuit off and was wearing pants which showed off his muscular body and a bandage across his chest. Chikako was checking out his wound and any other wounds that he may have gained during the explosion from earlier.
Shinju looked around the room finding a pentagram carved upon the ground and candles around one side of the room while the other had all sorts of different suit for a ninja to wear, along with a supply of swords in a display case. Besides those differences, the room looked exactly like the rest of the bedrooms she's been in.
Chikako notices Shinju and starts packing up, "Sorry, I hadn't seen you enter." She said suspiciously
"Sorry, I found a secret passage in the bathrooms and......" Shinju looked at the room again noticing the pentagrams and then remembering Conor's Talent. This was his and Katsuo's room that linked up to Naoko's and Chiyo's room.
"And there's some blood that I would look at but I don't know anything about it or if you-"
"Yes, I'll look at it" Chikako cuts Shinju off as she leaves to look at the glass shards.
"I see you've found them as well, and so did the killer." Katsuo says standing up.
"Did you, um.... See Daku anywhere? He does share a room with you, right?" Shinju questioned
"Yeah, but I haven't seen him all night. Maybe he's hiding somewhere." Katsuo suggested as Shinju left the room.
Shinju didn't know where to look until Tsubame came rushing over with Atsuko by Her said. They had just come from the library and were panicked.
"W...we found Conor." Tsubame choked as she told Shinju and before long I was being dragged by the two of them.
Shinju entered the library were Conor Daku laid on the ground and drops of blood covering the ground. She stared at Daku in fear until Daku awoke.
Daku rubbed his head in pain. He looks around and then spots Shinju, Atsuko and Tsubame. As if on instinct, he backs away from the three.
"W..what is she d..doing h..here?" Conor asks in fear while Atsuko shows herself out. Once Atsuko leaves the room Conor calms down a bit.
"What happened?" Shinju asks as Tsubame leaves as well. Shinju was just waiting for an answer.
"All I can remember was the breaking of glass and as I t...turned around .... I went unconscious." Daku said in his nervous tone.
Shinju decides to look around the room. The room looks perfectly normal except for the rifle that was lying on the ground and the broken display case where it came from. There was nothing else out of the ordinary until she saw a piece of paper on the floor. Shinju picked it up and looked at it and found that it was a plan for murder, the murder. Shinju pocketed it for later while Conor checked if he had everything.
"Where are they?" Daku says while Shinju looks confused. "My room keys and my knife are gone." There was no sign of them in the room as Shinju took another scoop around. Shinju soon left and saw only Atsuko.
"What was that about?" Shinju asked knowing it had something to do with her.
"Well~, I may have upset him. Both of use were in the library until until Sora ueno appeared and said he wanted to talk with Conor. So I left them alone to talk." Atsuko said sounding very truthful.
Shinju noted that and then left because there was one place she wanted to check before the trial started. Shinju rushed to the kitchen passing the dining hall were Katsuo, Hinata, and Chikako had been during the murder.
Shinju enters the kitchen and looks at the knives as the time ticked by. She noticed that all the knives were still there and that it couldn't have come from the kitchen.
At that exact moment, the announcement came, "would all guest please stand still? The time to investigate is now up." The cat said as white smoke filled the rooms forcing Shinju to feel dizzy and tired. She falls unconscious for the time being until the trial starts.

Shinju wakes up and finds herself in a large room with podiums in the shape of circles, and behind them were three thrones which held the three black and white robots.
the room was a dark purple with stain glass windows that had no real meaning them but where still nice to look at. The purple, circular room also had banners that were a bright red which didn't match any of the room whatsoever.
Shinju looked back at the podiums where everyone was already standing at. Shinju walked over to her podium and upon further inspection found that there were name plates on their podiums which signified that this was their podium. As Shinju stood there, she looked at the rest of the students and soon enough spotted something that she had missed how missed. It was a picture of Naoko with pink knives crossing out her face to show that she was dead.
After those nice little observations the bat spoke,"Welcome to the class trial! This is where you may present your argument for who you believe the murderer is! Once you have all had the chance to argue your fucking hearts, you get to vote for who you believe committed the crime! If you guess correctly, the killer shall be executed and you human beings may continue with your lives in this killing game! Hahaha~!" The bat was having a spasm of laughter which nobody expected. Soon after though he stopped and continued in a dark evil growl,"of course if your wrong, the killer will be aloud to leave while the rest of you are executed in their place. Now, without further ado, let's get this trial start up!" The bat instantly went back to his angry tone.
"Well, let's start this with, I know who committed this murder." Ren said proud of himself as everyone turned toward him.
"Just spit It out all ready!" Haruna blurted as she lost he patience while Ren just smiles back at her
"Well then I shall not hold it back. The culprit of this case is obviously Shinju Oshiro!" Everyone was shocked as judgmental eyes stared upon her. Ren continued, "think about it, Shinju was already in the bathroom at the time of the murder and could have easily snuck a knife in and killed Naoko in cold blood." Ren squinted at shinju as she was speechless.
"B...but it wasn't me! I...i." Shinju didn't know how to respond to this until Shiro spoke up.
"If what you say is true, then would you please give more solid proof? If you look at the fact then it is obvious that somebody other than Shinju. Instead, let's focus on-"
"Oooh, the murder weapon!" Okami shouted, cutting off Shiro.
"The knife obviously." Sora said not really caring about it.
Nana thought about it, "what about where the knife came from?" Nana suggested.
Gorou simply looks at Nana,"Well the knife most likely came from the kitchen becau-"
"No, that's wrong! If the murder weapon had come from the kitchen the killer would have been spotted by the Katsuo, Hinata and Chikako; One top of the that when I went into the kitchen to check for missing knives, they were all still in place." Shinju laid out.
"That is true, any of us would have seen the killer if they had passed through the dining room. Of course there is also the possibility of the killer already have the item on them." He stares at Daku.
"W ...one of us?" Tsubame asks scared for her life.
"I...i know who the culprit is." Atsuko shouts pointing at Daku who looked scared. "Daku committed the murder!"
"And what proof may you have to support this?" Chikako asked, suspicious. "Last time I checked Conor didn't have a knife."
"Correction!" Shinju shouts."Daku said it himself, except for the fact that he was missing his knife and keys."
"But, Conor could have easily told you that story In order to have an alibi." Michi states while Shinju thinks about it.
"Hmm, I don't really care but Michi has a point, nobody else knew about the plan and how to execute it except conor." hinata stated, looking at the floor
"Hold on! if Daku really did kill Naoko, why would there be a murder plan? Atsuko was the only other person in the library who would have known, that could only mean Atsuko is an accomplice of the murderer." Shinju states knowing that she wasn't wrong.
"Who is the dam bitch who murdered her!?" Haruna was fired up with her hatred which was directed at Atsuko
Atsuko was terrified,"it was Conor." Atsuko said quickly. "I swear, I'm not lying. Me and him made a plan to kill Naoko."
"B..but we found him un...unconscious in the library though." Tsubame chirped nervously.
"It could have happened after the murder thou-" Atsuko was cut off once again.
"Daku had been knocked out you even said it yourself" Shinju fought back.
"How so, I didn't say anything of that sort." Atsuko was trying to hold her ground.
"You said that you saw Sora in enter right before you left the library which could mean our culprit is Sora ueno!" Shinju thought she had the final word until ren jumped into the mix.
"And proof do you have that sora ueno is actually the culprit? Yes it is possible that he wanted to talk to Conor and or stole his stuff, but nothing links him to the crime." Ren said catching Shinju off guard.
"Um... uh..." shinju couldn't answer, she couldn't remember anything else that could prove that he was connected to the crime.
"How about the ring found at the crime scene? There is only one person who wore an earring." Shiro remarks almost crushing the two.
"B...but it could have been a frame, how would the killer enter the room?" Ren responded with an aura of power.
Both shiro and shinju countered by saying, "the killer entered through a secret passage!" This broke the tag teams defenses as they crumbled to the ground.
"W..whaaa?! What ch'all talking about. I couldn't have killed that crazy son of a bitch! Why would I kill someone like that!?" Sora was pissed while the bat smiled.
"I'm still not convinced that sora ueno killed Naoko." chiyo said, unsure of all this. "I just can't believe someone would kill Naoko. For all we know, these robots are turning us against each other." Chiyo said quietly.
"Also, how is someone supposed to commit a murder without technology." Natsumi added, "oh, and if Conor isn't the killer and he was indeed "knocked out" as you claim. Then what was he knocked out with?"
Chiyo looked around believing that Natsumi had a point. "Conor had been in the library, what exactly was used to knock him out?" She asked in a confused tone.
"There was broken glass from what I here!" Okami shouts with glee. "You know, this is reminding me of a murder mystery game I used to play."
"Enough about the games already. We're here to solve this murder!" Haruna wasn't pleased with Okami. "Anyway, as you said, there was broken glass?"
"I believe from the display cases located near the walls held guns and swords." Shiro said in his casual tone.
"Soooo, why not kill Conor if you have the chance to kill a witness?" Michi responded with a sinister grin.
Katsuo stared at Michi and then cleared his throat, "ephem, according to what I saw within the library, the weapon used was a rifle." Katsuo had his arms crossed with his eyes closed.
"That's true, the killer used the rifle to knock out conor." Shinju said.
"I still don't see how that points yo sora being the killer though." Chiyo stares at shinju feeling betrayed that she's not arguing with her.
"Oh, is it time?" The cat said as she clicked the button with a smile.
"This is what we call a scrum debate. This is where both sides argue who is correct." The ghost says in its disappointed voice.
What we saw were two buttons, one red and one green with words printed under them. The red button held the words "Conor is the killer" while the green button said "Sora is the killer". Shinju pressed the green button and watched as the podiums shifted accordingly to who chose what button.
They had shifted into two columns facing each other ready to heat up the trial room. The podiums appeared to be lit up in accordance to the color they picked.
On the red side Ren, Sora, Hinata and Atsuko sided with conor being the killer along with Michi, Okami, Nana, Natsumi , And finally Chiyo. On the green side stood shiro and shinju who appeared to be ready to brawl followed by Gorou, katsuo, Chikako, Haruna, Tsubame, and finally Conor.
The room was silent and nobody shot until Ren simply gave a smile.
"If Conor knew about the plan, he's the only one that could have done it!" Ren shouted, shooting the first bullet in the battle.
"But, Atsuko also knew the plan, s..so maybe Sora learned about it." Conor spat trying to contradict Ren.
"Where was the plan then!" Atsuko yelled, having been brought in by Conor
"I believe there was a scrap of paper lying on the ground, that's the most probable." Katsuo said in a calm manner.
"How did he enter the crime scene, he couldn't enter the rooms beside him" Nana retorted.
"But there are two way he could have entered, one through the secret passages and two, the key stolen from Daku." Shiro states
"The knife belonged to Daku as well even without the key he should have been able to enter." Okami says through the mouth full of chips in his mouth.
"I don't know what you think this is, but it's not a Game or cartoon. You can't just make door vanish at will! Besides the knife was stolen!" Haruna scorned Okami.
"But who would have intent to kill if it wasnt conor?" Hinata questioned more than shouted
Gorou spoke things time, "anyone and everybody, the motive targeted all of us along with the shock of a traitor."
"What a boring way to die,the killer could have at least used a tool for beating her." Natsumi remarked.
"Indeed, why not put more effort into it?" Michi added.
"I...its because t...the accomplice w...wouldn't have to clean u...up much." Tsubame stammered in contradiction.
"I don't want to die, Sora wouldn't do something like that." Chiyo cried.
"I see, but during my investigation, I found traces of Sora's blood along with the victims." Chikako flat out stated
"Th..this isn't fair, ya know I didnt it!" Sora was pissed that he was losing.
"The clues say otherwise, you should give up Sora." Shinju had the last shot.
The podiums took a second to go back to their original positions as everyone stares at Sora who had crippled to the floor. His sobs filled the trial room.
"I think it's best to explain to everyone how he committed this horrendous crime shinju." Shiro said in his calm voice.
Shinju nodded and started to explain what the culprits plan was. "This is how the killer committed this crime!" Shiju started.

"Let's start the day the murder took place, which was around the same time the announcement about the killing game had been announced. Hearing this Conor and Atsuko went into the library to talk about their plan while everyone tried to distract themselves, but Atsuko had other plans. Atsuko wrote down her plan and gave it to Conor in which he agreed to kill for some reason. It seemed that everything was set into motion and Atsuko went to set up for it. As she was leaving however our culprit had come and overheard the conversation and went in after telling Atsuko that he needed to talk to Conor. Atsuko thought nothing of it at the time and I doubt Conor was expecting it as well. Conor had a chat with culprit about what we can only assume was about the murder plan. Conor tried to avoid sora but as he walked away culprit had broken a display case which caught Conors attention. As he turned around the culprit smacked Him with the but of the rifle, knocking unconscious for the rest of the murder. The Culprit would have went to the kitchen to grab a knife but then noticed the keys and knife Conor had. The Culprit snatched them and opened Conor's and katsuo's room. The Culprit was lucky that katsuo, at the time, was with Hinata and chikako in the dining room. Everything was going as planned, Naoko was in the shower, and he was ready to take her out what he hadn't expected was me entering the bathroom. I had arrived at the worst moment and was bringing a towel into the room. The killer not knowing I was there attacked Naoko; breaking the glass and killing her. The culprit was so close to being caught but managed to slip away and head back to their room. I saw the scene and ran out of the bathroom to find the others which allowed sufficient time for Atsuko to clean up some of the crime scene." Shinju explained, "the only killer is you! Sora ueno, the ultimate rapper!"

Sora was on his knees crying and his appearance disheveled;he had glasses on to cover his eyes but they were crooked while his clothes became wrinkled. He shook vigorously not wanting to admit the truth that shinju had already told until he finally cracked.
"Th-that crazy bitch C-could have killed s-someone. I.....l didn't want C-conor to t-take the fall for the murder, s-So I killed her myself." He was crying band then stood up.
"It appears it's voting time~!" The cheerful cat said as a screen appeared on the podium showing each student including the deceased student.
The students chose as another screen dropped down behind the robots showing a table of cards with each of their pixels. The pixels were shuffled and placed on the table by a black paw which then flipped the top card revealing Sora ueno's pixel. Underneath said "congratulations" as the screen went black and a different screen appeared saying "punishment time.
Sora's pixel stood there on the black screen laminated by red as a ghost appeared to grab him below the screen, Significant the start of the execution.
