Just before graduating from Hope's Peak's talent development plan, the 77th, 78th, 79th classes, and a few extras are thrown into a killing game. This story takes place in a world where Junko held off on her plan a bit longer. With 56 students in on...
Other than those things everyone seemed relatively unharmed. But then noticed the elephant in the room, or rather the hole. A large section of the floor looked as though someone had cut it away. I cautiously walked up to the hole and looked down. There, in the sand was Yasuhiro Hagakure.
I gasped in shock as other students stared wide-eyed at the scene below us. Through the squarish hole, we could see him with a single knife wound to the chest.
"Bum bum bum!" Monokuma cheered dramatically. "A corpse has been discovered! Begin investigation so we move on to our class trial!"
Suddenly the monokubs were running around handing out the "Monokuma files". There was a full report on the crime.
MONOKUMA FILE
VICTIM: HASUHIRO HAGAKURE
SUSPECTS: list here
CAUSE OF DEATH: ???
TIME OF DEATH: 9:30 PM
EVIDENCE: list here
So it seemed we could add details to the suspects and evidence portion of the file. I thought back to the blackout.
-Flashback-
I'd just gotten Toko to calm down and realize that what Junko and Mukuro did wasn't what I wanted when the lights went out.
"Ahhhh, I can't seeeeee!" That was Mikan.
CRASH!!!
"Ibuki can't see the light! Wait is that good?" Definitely Ibuki.
CREEEEAAAAK! SNAP! CRASH!
"W-what was that?" That could only have been Chihiro.
"Hey! Just because you can't see doesn't mean you get to touch ya virgin!" Only Miu talks like that.
"Ahh, there's food on my cardigan!" Junko for sure
"Everyone, calm down and stop moving!" I'm not quite sure who that was.
-End flashback-
I definitely heard all of those voices on this floor level. But the last one, I couldn't quite tell where or who it was coming from. I went to Ibuki, Kaede, and Sayaka to see what they thought.
"Ibuki heard a recording!" The punk rocker babbled.
"That was a voice?" The pianist inquired. "It sounded more like random noises to me. Thought I was near the kitchen so that may be why."
"Oh it was definitely edited, and not well either." The idol cringed at the memory. "I can say it was a male's voice though!"
Truth bullet: Musician's testimonies
So far it seems the mystery voice belonged to a male. According to Ibuki, it was a recording.
"It seems someone left a recording device in this corner," said Kirigiri. "There are two files on it so let's hear it."
"Everyone, calm down and stop moving!" Scratched out the device.
Kirigiri then played the other recording and an unedited song played with a familiar voice.
"Sayaka, is this yours?", I asked the famous teen.
"Well it is," she started, "but I only recorded the song. I've been looking for it since yesterday morning."
Truth bullet: Sayaka's Recording Device
The device had the times the recordings were made listed. The song was recorded before Sayaka had lost the device, while the strange recording was made around the time Chihiro reported Nagito's plan. Chances are someone else saw the chance to kill and made the recording. Considering the nature of the device it could belong to anyone with a music-based talent.
Now was time to solve the cause of the blackout, so I attempted to question Nagito.
"A beacon of hope like you wants to talk to trash like me?" Gasped Nagito. "I guess I can tell you that I did cause the blackout, but you have to find out how on your own!"
"Okay, but can you tell me who knew about your plan?" I pressed.
Nagito sighed as though he had something better to do. "Twogami and Hanamura."
Great, more potential suspects. So far there was Twogami, Ibuki Mioda, Teruteru Hanamura, Sayaka Maizono, and Kaede Akamatsu. Before trying to narrow down the list, Mahiro Koizumi and I decided to go to Hagakure's body and investigate more.
After making my way down to the body I noticed a small chunk of Hiro's sandal had been cut off cleanly. Before touching anything, Koizumi and I took pictures. We then took all the evidence we found to Kirigiri and Shuichi.
Truth bullet: Crime scene photos
Truth bullet: Cut sandal
"Thank you for the evidence you two." Kirigiri pocketed the evidence. "I'll take a closer at the sandal to see what could've cut it."
I then realized something, Koizumi probably had photos showing where everyone was. I asked her if she did and it proved true. Combining my printable memory and her photos we were able to figure out where everyone was before and after the incident.
