I AGREE WITH THAT, MS. NIKADA!

-If Miya’s right, then the our first suspects should be… Chokakku, Hoshi, Hajime and Zeto. Thank you, Ms. Nikada.

-I-It’s nothing, really, but…

-H-Huh?! – I-I’m sorry, Hajime, but I’m sure it’s just a theory! – W-Why me?!

-Not surprised that you would think that, but I’m sure that I didn’t kill my best friend.

-W-Wa-Wawawawawhaaaat?! W-Why? Why am I a suspect?!

-Are you really that stupid? Miya literally said it just a few seconds ago. – Chokakku, please stop. –

-I-I’m just following Miya’s theory. If the culprit is one of the last people that showed up… then it must have been one of you guys.

-T-T-Then that theory is wrong..! I-I couldn’t have k-killed someone!

-M-Me neither! I-I’m innocent, I swear! I–

-Actually, just wait a second. – Miya..?! – Hey, Hoshi! Let me ask you a question.

-H-Huh?! W-What do you mean?

-You were inside the Game Station when the… thing, happened, right? Shiroga’s… thing.

-Y-Yes! I was! I swear I was, please don’t kill me!

-Then… how did you show up at the last second, with everyone else?! Without leaving the Game Station?!

-H-Huh?! – Wow, I’m surprised! She had a smart rebuttal right now! –

-…………

-…………

-……U-Uh… Ms. Dafinu…?

-…H-Huh? Miya, what do you mean? – Wait, what’s going on? – 

-It’s simple! Maybe… you used the secret passageway, and got inside your dorm room, so you wouldn’t be a suspect!

-B-But… Ms. Dafinu? I… never said that he went with us. Ms. Tsukiyama, Ms. Saihara and Mr. Inuma came along but the rest just went as we ran towards the storeroom.

-…H-Huh?! T-Then why didn’t you say that before?!

-Oh, that’s right, I forgot that some people were already at the scene, snowflake girl. – Chokakku is really going full speed right now, it’s kinda uncomfortable. –

-I-I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I just thought that it would be obvious since… he went inside the Game Station every night. I’m so sorry, Ms. Dafinu and Mr. Nakanaka!

-I-It’s alright. Just when I thought I had a smart shot… – Me too, but don’t worry, we should focus on finding the killer together. – 

-So… those suspects are: Ms. Dokuita, Chokakku! Brave girl, brave girl indeed. Mr. Nohara, Hajime! The insomniac boy, who deserved some peace, and Mr. Pannacota, Zeto! The victim’s best friend, suspicious…

-It seems like it. – Makoto quickly replied – But, is there any other clues that could help us?

-…Oh! I see, I see! I know something! – Teru?! – Hey, I… I think I know something, at least. 

-What are ya talkin’ about, pal?

-I think… that Chokakku could’ve been the killer. The one that ended… her life.

-…W-What? What are you talking about? I can’t do some jack shit like murder.

-U-Uh, Chokakku…. you almost killed two of our classmates by strangling them, and slapped another one just because of your rage.

-W-Well, that’s also no excuse! It was the heat of the moment? Sure. but I wouldn’t do something so brutal as the actual killer did.

-But, there’s also more proof. – Oh? – The knife that was missing… was from Candy Blossom’s kitchen. your kitchen.

-U-Uh?! Excuse me? But just because a knife from the candy kitchen went missing, it doesn’t mean that I killed her! 

-I-I know, and I’m sorry, alright? B-But it’s the clues right now!

-Well, then your clues are bullshit! I’m not the only person that goes there! It’s an open kitchen for everyone!

-W-Wait, Chokakku, let’s calm down. I think we can find another way to prove that you’re innocent.

-Well? Then tell them, Makoto! I shouldn’t be the only one protecting myself!

-I think it’s because you did try to murder two of our classmates, Chokakku.

-Yes, it was really uncomfortable and gross, and probably made the actual killer even more scared. Considering that you’re not the killer, of course.

-Yea, gal. That shit was unpleasant as hell. I was almost throwing ya at the ceiling, just so ya could stop killin’ the gaming kiddo.

-I… I… – Everyone is ganging up on Chokakku, should I do something..? – You guys are really…

-Hey, uh, everyone! Let’s think this through! We shouldn’t just vote for her like that, there’s a lot of stuff that it needs to be cleared up, first!

-Huh? Like what, for example?

-The note, for example! Or the struggle, she’s really strong, too, I don’t think that Shiroga could resist a Knife-Flavored Chokakku!

-Knife-Flavored Chokakku?! She must’ve been really hungry then!

-..Then, you’re suggesting that she’s not the killer, Memopo, are you sure about that?

-…She has been quite the selfish person lately, but yes, Zeto. I don’t think that she’s the killer.

-We shouldn’t gang up on her, at least not until we find more answe–

YOU’VE GOT SOME BAD ROMANCE WITH THOSE WORDS!
