Much to our surprise, Monokuma called us into the Gym. For what, I didn't exactly know.

Kiri, Byakuya, Chihiro, and Myself all entered the gym and I was surprised to see Monokuma... cooking? He grabbed onto his food and began to panic as it burnt his hand. As he dropped the food, he sighed and grumbled as he clenched his paw, glaring at us as he continued to grumble, eventually shouting at us.

Monokuma: Alright! Which one of you dirty little rats stole my treasure?!
Naegi: Treasure? What?
Monokuma: My treasure! Someone stole it and Who ever did better fess up!
Naegi: What is the treasure?
Monokuma: Like hell I'd tell you! Who ever stole it knows what it is, and I demand it back!
Celestia: Couldn't you just take it by force?
Monokuma: You think I haven't tried?! I don't even know where to start!

Monokuma hopped off the stage and grumbled as he walked by us, holding his hands behind his back as his face darkened. He grumbled as his eye glowed a deep red. He suddenly turned back to us and glared as he crossed his arms.

Monokuma: I'm even willing to make a bargain. If My treasure isn't returned to me by the end of the day, then I'll release a new motive! If I get my treasure, then I'll unlock the next floor! Who ever stole the treasure had BETTER give it back!

With that, Monokuma left us all to our confused silence. We all looked amongst ourselves as Hagakure was the very first to ask the obvious question.

Hagakure: So.. What's the treasure?
Kiyotaka: Who ever took it shall raise their hands! Everyone, close your eyes so the culprit may show themselves!
Aoi: How would that even work?
Celestia: Though I have little evidence to ensure that this assumption is correct, I would believe that Kyoko Kirigiri would be to blame.
Naegi: What? How could she-
Celestia: As I said, I have little to no evidence. However, I ask that you bare in mind that she has been leaving her own dorm during curfew hours and disappearing. Why, just yesterday night I saw her in the early morning in the cafe.
Naegi: In the cafe? No! Me and Kiri we..re..
Celestia: By all means. What were you going to say?
Naegi: Uhm.. K-Kiri and I-I..
Kyoko: We were sleeping together in my dorm.

As I staggered back slightly from Kiri's sudden boldness, My face grew a dark red as Celestia raised a hand to her mouth, giggling quietly.

Hagakure: Huh? Way to go Naegi!
Aoi: I knew you two would do something! Aha!
Kiyotaka: That is Hardly appropriate for school!
Celestia: Hm. That's certainly interesting... I could have sworn I saw Kyoko leave her dorm at around 5am and return at 6:30am.
Naegi:... W-What..? Kiri and I were resting. That's imposs-
Kyoko: Then can I ask what you were doing outside of your dorm? I won't argue that I wasn't out. I was getting breakfast in the cafe for Naegi. What exactly were you doing?
Celestia: Keeping an eye upon the area. That way I can take note on anyone who disregards my rule.
Byakuya: Including yourself?
Toko: Y-Yeah! Hypocrite..!
Celestia: I did imposed the rule, Yes. Have I broken the rule? no. For you see, I never left my dorm. The rule was that We all stay in our room, correct?
Hagakure: I think so. I can't possibly know though..
Celestia: Then I never broke the rule. I stayed within my room and kept a watchful eye upon the dorm halls and the actual hall. However, I did see Kyoko outside of the dorms. Judging from Dear Naegi's reaction, I'd say he didn't know about it either.
Kyoko: As I said, I was getting breakfast for Naegi.
Celestia:... Then I believe your story checks out.
