Chapter Four: Deadly Life

"Who did it?" Maki asked, frustrated. "I have a horrible headache. Just tell me who killed Keebo even though there was no motive."

"No motive? How dumb can you be, Maki?" Kokichi taunted her. "Clearly the motive was something personal. Don't you agree, Mugi?" Tsumugi glared at him through tear-stained eyes, and stormed out of the room in anger. Rantaro followed behind quickly.

"One of those three definitely committed the murder," I whispered to Shuichi. "There's no way anyone else would've."

"As far as we know, Rantaro and possibly Kokichi are the only ones with a motive, but Rantaro has an alibi and Kokichi was...restrained." We both turned our heads to look at the topic of discussion, investigating the area. "Kokichi, how did you get out of the gym?"

"Oh, you and Tenko suck at tying people up. Probably not a lot of experience. Buuuut, since I'm so experienced in being tied up, I got out pretty quickly. Neeheehee, it was kinda fun! I hope you'll do it again, babe." He winked at my boyfriend and I felt the urge to slap him. Tenko did that job for me, though. Shuichi just stood back, shocked and tinted pink.

Monokuma file: the victim is K1-B0. The time of death was 1:48 pm. The victim has been dismembered. No other injuries to report.

"I'll gather alibis," I volunteered solemnly. I was used to it, which was in no way a good thing. "I'll report to you when I'm done."

"Can I ask a favor?" He held me back for a second. "Interrogate Kokichi. If he talks, we might find out whether or not his objective was related to Keebo's death." I nervously agreed and headed to gather alibis. I wrote Shuichi's, Tsumugi's, Rantaro's, and my own alibis down first, then went to find everyone else.

I found Maki first, alone in the computer room. She seemed to be checking to see if Keebo had connected to the massive computer in the room, but turned up empty handed.

"I was with Kaito," she said promptly. "I'm still getting over my sickness, and he was comforting me. I slept for a while, so I can't confirm that he was with me the entire time, but I'm a pretty light sleeper. I don't think he left the room since I didn't wake up until the body discovery announcement."

"Thanks, Maki," I said. I wrote down her and Kaito's alibis, as well as a note to confirm with Kaito that he hadn't left the room. As I finished writing, Miu walked in the room, and started helping Maki look at the computer.

"Miu—"

"I don't have an alibi, fuck off." She seemed to be angry. I took a small note of her claim, not asking where she was or anything that would've set her off.

Next, I found Kaito, Tenko, and Himiko investigating around the fourth floor.

"I was with Maki Roll the entire time," Kaito confirmed. "She's been really sick, and I know how horrible that can be, you know? I haven't been feeling my best myself, but that's nothing that Kaito Momota, Luminary of the Stars can't handle!"

"Alright, just don't get what she has and start spreading it," I warned him. He shook his head.

"Nah, her sickness seems different than mine. I can't really explain it, but she's a lot worse. That's why I'm taking care of her, not the other way around."

"You'll just give each other your diseases!" Tenko screeched. "Typical degenerate male! Let her get better without you!"

"Tenko's right, it's bad to get everyone sick," Himiko muttered. Kaito froze up, not able to get a response. "As for our alibis, I gave Tenko a magic show."

"She did! It was very magical!" Tenko squealed. "Himiko's so impressive! Her heart is made of gold, and her magic flows from every inch of her body! I swear I saw stars!" The aikido master glomped her girlfriend as she praised her. It made me very happy to see how cheerful they were, but I had work to do.
