The Loveliest of Lies (Oumota)

That's quite enough Ouma-kun!

[MASS PANIC DEBATE: MAKE YOUR ARGUMENT]

1.Gonta: Gonta not commit crime!

Himiko: Nyeh. Ouma has a point though. You're very scary. You're so big and strong.

Gonta: No! Gonta not scary. Gonta is gentlemen. Would never hurt Saihara-kun. Never stab Saihara-kun!

Angie: Atua knows that.

Himiko: Nyeh. Atua is so wise.

Tenko: Yumeno-san!

[Kokichi quickly tunes them out. They're not important.]

2.Kirumi: We're wasting time.

Kaito: Tojo, why did you slip up this morning?

[Kokichi hones in on him.]

Tsumugi: Tojo-san slipped up?

Kaito: She did. Just before Shuichi's body was found.

Kirumi: I was just tired. I'm sorry that you had to witness that.

Kaito: Bullshit. You're the Ultimate Maid. You don't slip up for nothing.

Kirumi: I don't have time for this...

[Kokichi sighs and moves on. There's no point in confronting her openly. They need to corner her.]

3.Miu: I was in the courtyard all evening. I didn't have a chance to murder Shuichi-poo.

Korekiyo: Kukuku. Did anyone see you?

Miu: N-no.

Kiibo: Iruma-san, why are you so nervous?

Iruma: I didn't do anything. Saihara probably died before midnight anyway

Kiibo: I'm not doubting you.

Miu: Good.

[Kokichi sighs. Miu is such a fucking idiot. She just contradicted her own testimony.

As for Kirumi...they'll deal with her after dealing with Miu.]

Kokichi: Iruma-chan, you're lying.

[BREAK]

Kokcihi: Your own account proves that Shuichi died after midnight.

[Miu freezes up and blushes fiercely]

Kokichi: [Mockingly] During the "Insect Meet and Greet", you were alone in the courtyard all evening...in your underwear. You saw everyone enter the dorms. You went to bed last, and you didn't see Saihara-chan leave. So, unless you're lying to us, Saihara-chan didn't leave his room until after midnight.

Gonta: [He blushes a deep red.] Gonta remembers seeing Miu...in undressed state. All evening. The last time was after eleven.

Miu: A-and? I'm allowed to strip down and walk around in my underwear. There's no law against it. You probably enjoyed it, you pervert. You-

Kaito: [Determined expression] So, Shuichi died after midnight? Who doesn't have an alibi for then?

Korekiyo: Well, technically none of us. But- [He stares at Miu with abject disgust] some of us are more suspicious than others.

Tsumugi: [She nods steadily.] Can we rule anyone else out?

[QUESTION-Who else can be ruled out?]

Kokichi: Gonta. I can support Iruma-chan's testimony. I entered the dorms with him. She didn't see him leave. I was joking about him anyway. Gonta isn't scary, he's a big softie. He ain't no murderer.
