SEKAI of Despair

Chapter 3 Part 3

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!"

Tsukasa: "We must determine the time of death in order to catch the murderer! First step, we must figure out when the victim died."

Mafuyu: "The MIKUKUMA file says that Ichika and Mizuki's time of death are both 4:05AM. Is it possible that there are two killers instead of one this time?"

Tsukasa: "Hmm, that's an interesting theory...

Tho... the MIKUKUMA file might be wrong. She may be lying, don't you agree?

Hence she may only want us to believe there are two different killers.

This could be the case if the truth is there was only ONE killer to begin with!"

Haruka: "For now.. i think we should discuss about Ichika's death and find out her killer first. Then we move on to Mizuki."

Mikukuma: "Better hurry! There's a time limit~!"

Tsukasa: "Fine! A murder is still a murder, no matter how many of them there are!"

Rui: "If the time of death is indeed 4:05, then that means the culprit must have had a reason to kill their victim around that time, no?"

Mafuyu: "It's either that or the forbidden actions."

Tsukasa: "Then they must have had a strong feeling about their victim's forbidden action.

After all, it's no use killing a victim unless it relates to their own forbidden action!"

Shiho: "...Although it's still possible that a certain someone killed simply for fun, and has lied about a reason."

NON STOP DEBATE: START

Tsukasa: "...So, what was the reason behind the killing?"

Shizuku: "I may not have the perfect solution, but if I am allowed...

...I believe it could've been a crime of passion!"

Saki: "...Or, possibly, a crime of greed!"

Ena: "But wait... If this was a crime of passion, why didn't the killer act sooner?"

Mafuyu: "Maybe we should talk about Ichika's cause of death first.."

Rui: "There is a possibility that the victim was in some sort of struggle before being killed."

Tsukasa: "I agree with that!"

Consent

Tsukasa: "Well.. when we saw Ichika's body the room did look odd.."

Mafuyu: "When we saw Ichika's body, we saw that the room has blood splattered on the walls, scratches on the floor and some of the tables and chairs were place in unusual positions."

That's right!

Shizuku: "...But this is what confuses me. If this was a struggle, why didn't Ichika escape?"

Kohane: "T-There would have been many possible ways to run..."

Airi: "...I suppose we can conclude that poor Ichika was too afraid of something to escape?"
