(Kaede's POV)

Everyone was doing a different thing to help solve the same mystery- Rantaro's murder. Shuichi, Ryoma and Korekiyo gathered alibis, Kirumi made hot beverages, Tenko and Himiko were working together to find clues, Miu was working on her cool helicopter device, and the rest were either panicking, finding clues individually or sharing those clues with the others.

Me and Kokichi were confused as hell. Our main suspect is Tsumugi, her alibi isn't great and if she's the mastermind like Ouma said, she would have all the motive in the world to kill him.

Especially if I'm the real target...

Ding dong, bing bong!
"This is an official announcement!
The class trial is starting! Please make your way to the Monokuma fountain!
Upupu..."

"Nyahahaha! I guess we'll just have to do whatever it takes, and let Atua lead us to the right answer!"

"I bet it was a degenerate male, they're always getting into trouble.."

"You've still got a ways to go, Chabashira-chan."

"With my gorgeous figure and golden brain, I'm gonna carry all you fucking virgins, then you'll all have to carry me!!"

"Gonta thinks Iruma is smart and she will find who put Rantaro to sleep!"

"Even then, it's plainly obvious that this will have to be a team effort."

"Kekeke.. Oh, Shirogane is right, you know? Humans depend on one another for situations such as these."

"Forget Miu, my sidekick will be the one doing most of the work!"

"Please stop calling me that, Momota-kun.."

"Nishishi! This will be entertaining!"

"Nyeh, how could a murder ever be fun..?"

"What's the point? Someone else is going to die by the end, anyways."

"Don't say that, Harukawa-chan! I'm sure we'll all make it out of here alive!" I hope...

"I agree with Akamastu, we cant get our hopes down just yet."

"Yes! I've gathered lots of information that's now in my database (I think that's how it works ;-;), and ready to help!"

With that, we went down the elevator, and the class trial begun.

(This may seem very similar to the actual trial for a bit. That's because I took so many notes I can practically recite it in my head. It will be abridged, of course.)

"Now, let's begin with a simple explanation of the class trial!" I spaced out. What if I get executed again? Do I get another chance? Or will that be it for me? How could anyone copy my exact moves? Other than Kokichi, who probably suspects me still.

Korekiyo: "If I may present the first topic.." Kiyo started, "I'm curious to why the killer didn't take advantage of the first blood perk."

Angie: "I dunno, I dunno. Maybe they just really, really wanted to do a class trial!"

Miu: "Well then Monokuma's the fuckin culprit, obviously! This whole dumbass trial was his idea."
"HA!! I'm a fuckin genius!"

Kaito: "Hold on a second, isn't is impossible for Monokuma to be the culprit? It's against the rules, right?"

Monokuma: "Yep! I would never do something as horrible as this! And yeah, sadly, it's against the rules."

Kaede: "Then I was right the first time.."
