Danganronpa - Second Chance (V)

Chapter 4 - Trial part 1

AN: This chapter will be shorter than most of my others, since I plan on making part 2 of trial 4 rather bulky

Once again, the 8 students each looked around, finding a starting place for their arguments on who killed Tenko

Sayaka: "So, uh.......how do we start it this time?"

Ibuki: "Ibuki think's Rantaro did it"

Rantaro: "Oh really now?"

Ibuki: "Well, he was in Tenko's body when the murder happened, right? I think he's a likely culprit"

Rantaro: "Wow. For once, you say something that is somewhat insightful"

Hiyoko: "Hey! That's my thing!"

Taka: "I believe we should discuss this before we come up with any solid verdict so quickly"

Non Stop Debate

Ibuki: "Rantaro must have done it!"

Sayaka: "He is a likely candidate"

Ryoma: "I saw him go into the room we found Tenko's body and never come back out"

Nagito: "So he probably hung himself to kill Tenko indirectly!"

Taka: "This does seem to line up rather perfectly as the truth"

Rantaro: "....."

Hiyoko: "Why so quiet, murderer?"

Rantaro: "Oh nothing"

Ryoma: "Spit it out"

Rantaro: "Just loving how gullible you all are"

"Wait a second...........that one piece of evidence doesn't exactly line up"

Ibuki: "Rantaro must have done it!"

Sayaka: "He is a likely candidate"

Ryoma: "I saw him go into the room we found Tenko's body and never come back out"

Nagito: "So he probably hung himself to kill Tenko indirectly!"

"No, that's wrong!"

Chihiro: "He couldn't have done that"

Nagito: "Oh how so?"

Chihiro: "The murder was by strangulation, right? Yeah, he could have climbed into the rope, but the rope itself was high off the ground"

Sayaka: "So what does that mean?"

Taka: "I guess................someone else killed Tenko..........not Rantaro"

Ibuki: "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?!?!?!?! Ibuki was sure it was Rantaro!!"

Rantaro: "Good job, Chihiro. Another mystery you solved all by yourself.........Indeed, someone else murdered Tenko...................with my assistance"

Taka: "Wait, Rantaro.....are you saying that you-"

Rantaro: "Yes, exactly.................I know who truly killed Tenko"

Silence filled the room for once.......not even Monokuma had something to say........all the attention was on Rantaro, as his previous statement left shocked looks on everyone, even Ryoma, and even........................the blackened themselves

Taka: "Who-who is it, then?"

Rantaro: "Chihiro.......you should know by now. you knew the other 4 times someone murdered"

Chihiro: "The true murderer...................hm.......looking at the evidence..........."

Who would have seen the culprit go in?

1. Chihiro

2. Rantaro

3. Ryoma

"I got it!"

Chihiro: "Ryoma..........he was by the door..he was the one who saw the ins and outs.............when I talked to him earlier, he said he saw two people go into the room. One was Rantaro......and the other was..........."
