"Hmm? Whatever are you talking about?" Kiyo asked me.
"What I'm talking about is Miu's murder." I clarified in a stern tone.
"Huh? Kiyo?" Gonta asked.
"Ohhhh... So Kiyo is the culprit." Angie said.
"That hasn't been decided yet. We still need to hear his testimony before anything." Ryoma said.
"Why do you suspect me?" Kiyo asked me calmly.
"Because now we know the culprit hid Miu's body instead of moving it immediately, you no longer have a suitable alibi during the time the crime occurred," I answered. "Not only that but now that we know most if not all the actions the culprit took from the start to finish of this crime and it's set up, I can't help but think your actions have been suspicious lately."
"Well, Kiyo? Got anything to say to that?" Kaito asked him.
"Hurry up and answer, you degenerate! We're waiting!" Tenko shouted as everyone turned to the tall, lean teen. But unlike Tsumugi, who started to panic because of the suspicion, he started laughing.
"Kehe...kehehehe..." He chuckled. "Keheheheheheheehehe..."
"...What is so funny?" Keebo asked.
"I was just thinking..." Kiyo answered. "So this is how it feels to be accused of being the blackened. What an intriguing experience this is. I wonder...did Tsumugi feel this way when she was accused?"
"I-Intriguing?" Himiko repeated nervously.
"But if I am the culprit as you claim, then you'll need more than that to prove it. Such weak logic is not enough to condemn me to death." Kiyo told me before he gave me a serious expression with a pose. "Tell me, Rin. Are you prepared to use your reasoning to duel me?"
"..." I then raised my finger again as I pointed at him in defiance. "If it's a battle of wits you want, I'll show you just how powerful my reasoning can be!" I shouted at him.
And thus, the start of our final few debates started.
"I, of course, am not the culprit." Kiyo defended himself as his podium moved to the center of the courtroom.
"The crime occurred around 8 p.m." Tenko began. "You don't have an alibi for that time, do you? You filthy degenerate!"
"No, I do not have an alibi at that time, as I only entered the Meet and Greet at around 8:15. But there are others that lack an alibi as well, like Ryoma, Rantaro, and Maki. They should be suspects as well." Kiyo shot back.
"I-I can use magic to prove you did it." Himiko threatened nervously.
"Do you really think now is the time for such utter foolishness?" Kiyo rebuked.
"The culprit was followed by Miu to the fourth floor. Your lab is on that floor, right?" Kaede asserted.
"Angie's lab is also on the fourth floor, and the crime didn't occur in either room. You can't suspect me just from that." Kiyo shot back.
"The culprit hid Miu's body under the floorboards so they could move the body at a later time, confusing us on how long the crime could have taken," Shuichi stated. "You could have used that extra time allotted from hiding the body to form alibis that could help prove your innocence for any time we suspected you of committing the crime."
