Mikukuma: "Why don't we begin with a basic explanation of the class trial!"

Mikukuma: "During the trial you'll present your arguments for who the culprit is, and vote for 'whodunnit'."

Mikukuma: "Vote correctly and only the blackened will be punished. But if you pick the wrong person..."

Mikukuma: "I'll punish everyone *besides* the blackened, and that person will graduate from the academy!"

Mikukuma: "Also, refusing to vote will result in your death, so you better vote for someone!"

Mizuki: "I have a question, what's that podium with Honami's picture over there?"

Mikukuma: "It would be a shame if she didn't get to participate in the class trial even if she's dead, so i just added her picture on her podium so she doesn't get left out of course!"

Tsukasa: "So.. what should we discuss first?"

Kanade: "We should talk about the murder weapon fir-"

Shiho: "We don't need to discuss anything! It's obviously Ena!"

Ena: "W-what?!? Me?!?"

Mafuyu: "It is true that Ena was the one who went in the kitchen first, but she didn't even scream for at least a minute after she got in the kitchen. She must have killed her when she got in the kitchen!"

Ena: "Hold on a second!"

Kanade: "I agree with your statement Mafuyu but something doesn't add up, the Mikukuma file said Honami's estimated time of death is around 2 A.M remember?"

Shiho: "Maybe she already commited the murder at 2 A.M, she is the kind to stay up all night."

Ena: "HOLD ON A SECOND!"

Something still doesn't add up.

Ena as the killer? I don't think that's possible.

NON STOP DEBATE: START

Shiho: "Could it be possible that she already killed Honami at that time?"

Mafuyu: "That would explain why she didn't screamed for after a minute when she got in the kitchen."

Ena: "BUT IT WASN'T ME I SWEAR!"

Ena: "I COULDN'T EVEN SEE THE BODY WHEN I ENTERED THE KITCHEN"

Kanade: "I agree with that!"

Consent

Kanade: "Ena's right, she wouldn't notice Honami's corpse once she entered the kitchen."

Mizuki: "How so?"

Rui: "She's right, remember when we all first entered the kitchen after the dead body announcement?"

Airi: "Oh yea! I couldn't see the body at all!"

Kohane: "It d-does makes sense."

Kanade: "That means Ena isn't the culprit!"

Shiho: "I'm still suspicious of her."

Kanade: "All of our life's are at steak here. If we want to find the blackened then we should trust each other and cooperate."

Kohane: "I-i agree with K-Kanade.."

Kanade: "Alright then, first let's talk about the murder weapon."

Ichika: "According to the Mikukuma file, Honami died from poison and blunt force trauma."

But that still bothers me. If we can find out if she actually died from poison or blunt trauma first then maybe we can find the culprit.
