What if it Repeated? (Oumasai/Saiouma)

Chapter 15- A New Approach?

Kokichi's POV:

Shuuichi? He did it? He really doesn't look like the type of guy to go and slash someone's throat, but who else could it be? It could be a framing, but no one else knew about the locked door...

He could see Shuuichi standing almost unnaturally still out of the corner of his eye. He sure was acting guilty. If he had been trying not to get caught he sure did a horrible job at it. Shuuichi had even got him to help with jarring the door. Was he simply trusting him not to spill the beans on him?

Kokichi blinked. Everyone had started moving about. It seemed the irritating bear had finished its long speech. He blinked again and the prime suspect had vanished.
"What the...?!" He spun around and saw the 'boy in question's' fleeting foot disappear around a corner and out of sight. He watched the spot with narrowed eyes and walked purposefully after him. What was he playing at, running away straight after the murder?!

"Shuichi~" he called as he poked his head around the corner, his face falling as the human devoid corridor looked back at him. He crossed his arms and continued along the path poking his head in the dining room, store and warehouse and seeing no one. There was only one place he could be. He had nearly made it round the next bend when he stopped suddenly. Voices. Plural? Shuuichi wasn't alone? But he had only seen Shuuichi go that way.

"Why is this still happening?" The first voice was that of someone who was in a frantic temperament and trying their hardest to stay calm to no avail.
"Why's what still happening?" The second voice could only be described as extremely sardonic and pitchy. It made his ears hurt just listening to it. Both voices very familiar.
"Cut the crap! I'm not gonna play this stupid game with you, the mastermind is dead, why is the killing game still going? Why are you still working?"
"Mastermind? Wuzzat?"

"Fuck this. You said it yourself 'if the mastermind had died that would have been the end'" the first voice growled angrily. He had never heard that tone before from that person, it was rather off putting.
"And when did I say that?" The high voice said testily. There was a sharp intake of breath.
"It's complicated, but you did say it! And it was obviously a lie."
"No shit Sherlock," the high voice laughed coldly only quieting down once it seemed like any longer would have resulted in a boot to the head. "You're the detective here, this is your forté, just figure it out!"

What was happening? The mastermind was dead? Tsumugi? Seriously? She was so plain, not even her talent made her interesting in the slightest. By what was being discussed there was someone else in charge now that Tsumugi was dead. How could that be? This was all one giant information dump and he had no idea what to think of it all and was it even true?

"But I know everyone... no one else is the mastermind!" There was another high laugh,
"How much do you really know Saihara? Because I think you've missed something~"
"That's not true..." the voice was quiet a hint of betrayal in between the words.
"Serves you right for royally messing everything up! It's a mystery this even happened, the script was a total mess I tell you." Kokichi was still, he was in half a mind to storm around the corner and get some answers for himself, but something held him back. He had no idea what was happening. If he stormed around now that would most definitely be the end of this fountain of information... if any of it was even credible to begin with.

"I don't give two shits about the script! Who else is behind this?"
"Willing to believe that one of your classmates is a traitor?"
"Who." The voice was low and there was a dangerous intent clearly demonstrated.
"Upupupupu~ it's not like it will matter to you anyway! After this trial you're donezo! But to be fair it's no fun just telling you, far too much time, effort, programming and planning went into it... so no way josè, not telling," The voice drawled, "I haven't gotten this far as a headmaster by giving away the mysteries~"
