29.

Ah the classic ding dong rang through my ears. "A body has been discovered! Now then after a certain amount of time we'll hold the class trail." Monokuma informs us.

"Wh-What the hell is this? Why is this happening? It's so strange. He finally... He finally came back to us." Hajime said in distress.

"Who had the energy to do this?" I mumbled away as I was preparing to investigate.

I pull out the Monokuma file and began to read it. "His body was discovered in the grape tower, which is in the funhouse. His head is severely damaged and beyond repair, so that so that shall be considered cause of death. Despite his arms and legs being dismembered."

I couldn't help but to laugh at the memories flowing through my mind.

"These limbs were actually designed to be detachable, and it seems they separated due to severe impact. Aside from that, several other areas of this body are damaged. Because of this, so many of his functions shut down."

I took a breath and thought about where to go. "I can investigate people later, let's go back to look at the scene."

I turn around and went back into grape tower. When I get there I see the girls and Hajime standing around. I didn't want to talk to them at all, it seemed pointless. "Why is there a ringing sound?"

I go and search his body, trying my best to ignore the sound pounding through my head.

"Hmm why is there a wire around him, with a loop at the end? Surely he would've fought hard enough and snapped it."

Underneath his body were small pillar fragments. "Even this seems weird. There isn't anything on top of him." I glanced at the destroyed pillar.

"No one here is strong enough to spin him around and make him fall into that pillar which was standing." I sighed.

I looked behind his neck. "Oh it's the button to knock him out instantly. But no one would've had the chance to press it."

Akane went head to head with him in robot form many times. Despite being starved, she's the second strongest person here. Maybe I should talk to them now.

"Sonia, you got any clues?" She seemed to be thinking about something. "The time of death wasn't written again." I cocked my head. "Again?"

"Why yes you were sick. Like Ibuki's and Hiyoko's death there was no time because it played a key factor in the case."

"Oh, I didn't know that. Thank you for the information princess." I see Hajime making his way over.

"I'd like to confirm something with you two. Is that okay?" Sonia asked us peasants and we both shook our heads up and down.

"We agreed that the strawberry and grape house were the same building right? Because of the test we did with Chiaki's handbook and because we debunked the color and face change?"

I had no clue what she meant, but these are the same buildings, just vertically I believe.

"That's what we agreed on." Hajime told her. She still seemed to be lost in thoughts. Maybe they didn't get to that point, it is hard to explain to these group of kids facts like that.

"Where did the killer obtain that weapon?" Sonia asked Hajime. "Was it hidden?"

I snapped my fingers and went to Akane. Definitely from the final dead room, which means Nagito and I weren't the only ones who did it.

Before I got closer to Akane I felt her despair, stronger than anyone else. I needed to hide my excitement before she kills me.

"Did you find anything?" I tap her. She stood there for a while thinking and before I was about to leave she opened her mouth.

"Well earlier there was this noise. A loud rumbling sound." I tried to think what she was talking about but I had no clue.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I didn't hear anything." She seemed confused.

"Was I the only one who heard that then? It was way too loud to sleep through it. Well when I ran out my room to see I glanced at the clock and it was 5:30am."

"I'll keep your information with me, but try talking to Hajime maybe he'll know something."

I looked over and saw blood on the pillar, though it was the top of the pillar. "Weird. Really weird."

"[Name] the pillar is the weapon!" I was surprised since she was yelling at me.

"He had to get socked with it." I sighed. "And here I thought you were onto something Akane. Go talk to Hajime about it."

I decided to talk to Chiaki since I believe she's on Nagito's and my detective level.

"Hey [Name] can I ask you something." I perked up. "Of course." She pauses. "You went to the final dead room correct?"

I nod my head. "It was one of the most boring things I've ever done." "Then these weapons came from there right."

"Indeed they did. The hammer, chains and the wire. You can go in and out anytime you'd like and with the secret passageway it makes it easy to go to both sides anytime."

Her eyes widened. "Where is the passageway?" I laughed. "Clear the room and you'll find it."

Chiaki frowned. "Okay then I'll go to the final dead room." She seems stern about it. "What are you talking about Chiaki? You told me it was dangerous." Hajime argued.

"I can't focus if there's so much noise. And there's been a ringing sound since the beginning of the investigation." Akane yelled at us.

"Oh yeah I've been hearing that sound too. It's annoying." I sighed. "What kind of sound is it?" Chiaki ask.

"Um it's like a high-pitched alarm clock." I was shocked on how good her hearing was. It puts Ibuki to shame.

Chiaki, Hajime and I decided to head upstairs to find out the ringing noise. I wanted to talk to Chiaki alone about the building structure but maybe some other time.

"Hey guys it's the phone." Hajime answered the phone and I thought now was my chance.

"Hey Chiaki can I ask you something?" She nods. "You believe the building is horizontal correct?" "Yes, we did some tests also."

I thought about it. "I've had this feeling that the building is vertical." She raised her eyebrows. "I don't think that's possible."

I sighed. "Nevermind then." I turn back to Hajime who seemed to be off the phone. I thought she would at least consider it.

Hajime then explained everything that had happened over there. "I'm guessing the killer is in the strawberry house." I told them.

They both seemed confused. "Why?"

"Well no girl could've done that to Nekomaru. And Hajime you're body reminds me of Nagito. If you both fought each other it would end in a draw."

"I don't see where this is heading logically." Hajime said a little too sassy.

"Well what I'm trying to say is that it's between Fuyuhiko, Kazuchi or Gundham. That's my guess after all."

They didn't seem to believe me, of course right because I'm always guessing wrong.

"Then you know how he was killed?" Chiaki questions me. "I have a solid idea. But you guys are going to think it's stupid."

"Still you should give it a go." The gamer said. I thought about it and just decided to tell them.

"I think he fell to his death, I mean the pillar had blood on the top, which means he hit that causing it to fall."

I paused. "For now that's all I got." It was quite. "I wanna believe your guess, but that leaves more mysteries without evidence." Hajime told me.

I frowned. "Okay, fine. Then let's just take a break since we can't do anything at all for now."

They both seemed to agree to that so I just lied down on the couch. "[Name] you seem to have more energy than anyone here, even Nekomaru."

"Oh that's because I was starved for an entire month. So three or four days got nothing on me." I fought the air.

"What?" Chiaki stammered out. "A month?" Hajime voice was low.

"Yeah my family decided not to feed me. In the end everything turned out fine."

No one said another word after that so I took the chance to take a pre trial nap.
