......Really?

3 days?

That's all it took for these people to kill someone?

....I expected more of them to be honest.

Perhaps sharing the motive video so soon was a bad idea.

Oh well, let's see who did it.

......

....Oh? Interesting...very interesting...

Let's see if they can solve this one on their own. I don't want to reset this just yet-

*Ring* *Ring*

....Great. It's her again.

Who the hell asks for a session at 7 AM on a Thursday morning?

Fine...I'll check up on them later. Time to put Monokumo on autopilot.

Sigh....

At the very least, I can tell from this that optimism definitely didn't let them live longer...

-End of DR Log: 3/This will take...a long time.

"Oh...oh my God..." I say, as we all looked at the body of Usagi.

"W-who would do this!?" Sena shrieked as we all inspected her body closely.

It looked like her body was shoved in forcefully by the killer, as her body didn't fit inside the entire fridge. Although we couldn't tell what the cause of death was, we saw she had a head wound on her with dried blood.

.....is it me or does that look slightly pink?

I must be seeing things...

Suddenly, a notification popped up from all our Kumophones at the same time.

'A BODY HAS BEEN DISCOVERED. LOCATION: ULTIMATE HOST'S LAB.

INVESTIGATION RULES:
-YOU WILL BE GIVEN 90 MINUTES TO INVESTIGATE THE ENTIRE CRIME SCENE.

-ONCE THE 90 MINUTES ARE UP, ALL OF YOU MEET ME AT THE GYM.

-FAILURE TO APPEAR WILL RESULT IN EXECUTION.

-Note: Make sure to write down all you see in your notes! <3'

Was what was sent to us. Besides that, Monokumo had also given us a document file called "The Monokumo file."

"N-no way..no way no way." Tsubasa said, still in shock.

"How could it make us investigate the murder of our friend!?" Hikaru said somberly.

Before we knew it, the door to the room suddenly opened as every single one of our classmates appeared here.

"This is a prank, right-" Tsurugi asked before he saw the body.

"What the fuck!?" Nijiko yelled out as everyone who just came in looked at her wide-eyed.

Well.. except for Asumi.

"What the hell are we supposed to do!?" Hirotaka cried out as we were all panicking.

Seriously, what the hell are we supposed to do!?

No one here expected a murder would actually happen.

As we all kept arguing about what to do, I could see Asumi slip away from the crowd, and towards the body.
