Danganronpa: Despair to Prodiges V2

Murder #2

(Kazuma POV)

Dazai walked over to the bodies.

"Oh, that's what happened. Ok, see ya."

He then turned around to walk away.

"...Are you saying you already figured this one out?" I asked

"This one is much easier compared to the others. You all should have no difficulty. The only thing that may be difficult to figure out is the motive, yet I have a feeling you can figure it out. Plus, I have other things to be doing currently."

'What other things could he be doing...?'

"Well, since the rest of us aren't master detectives, shall we get looking?" Yuuki asked

"Not like we can do anything else," Fuuka said as she started to intercept the bodies. Everyone else did the same, as did I. The only one who didn't was Aqua who went off to the side. I guess she was going to watch her motive video right now. Maybe as a way to not look at the two bodies right in front of her?

The bodies were the most obvious thing. There were two murder weapons here. Both knives, one a kitchen knife and another that looks like a survival knife.

If I had to guess, they had killed each other. That was the basic observation to be made with two murder weapons and two bodies. But did it happen?

The odd thing was that Soma's body was moved from what it looked like. Either that, or he died away from Akeno. Akeno was in the middle of the beach, while Soma was in nearly in the ocean.

"...Tch, well, this is gonna come up anyway so I'll just say it." Gojo said as he looked around, "I had shown Akeno her motive video, pretty much right when I got it."

"Let's save that discussion for later." Echidna said, "But I must say...If this is what happened, it doesn't make sense."

"What do you mean?"

"Why do you think that Soma has moved away while Akeno is here?"

"Because he was moved or died over there."

"Indeed, but you're still not using all of your brain."

"Huh? What's that supposed to mean?" I asked in a slightly hostile voice

"Yuuki," Echidna called out, "You moved the body, didn't you?"

Everyone froze, and all eyes turned to Yuuki.

"...I'm not a fan of baseless accusations. I don't have an alibi this time so I won't say I'm fully cleared, but this is a little much."

"It's because-"

"Let's save this for later, like you said." Kirito said, "If we go at each other's throats now, then there's no future for us."

"...Very well. I will explain things during the trial then. Goodbye."

Echidna then took off.

"...Well, I'll defend myself later as well. I've seen all I need to here."

Yuuki left in another direction then Echidna.

"...Wow, they're really at each other's throats," I said to Aqua, as she came back over to us.

The response I got instead of the usual banter though, was just a look, and then her eyes started tearing up.

"..."

At that moment, I wasn't worried about her. It may have been my own selfishness, but the question that loomed in my mind was 'Does she have my motive video?'
