Danganonpa x Ace Attorney Cases

A new Case (Investigation Part 1)

Febuary 20th, 2019 (11:03 AM) - Wright & Co Law offices

The doorbell rings. "I'll get it!", Maya exclaimed. The young medium opened the door to a tanned women wearing a red tracksuit over a white tank top and blue sports shorts. her brown hair was bound up into a high ponytail which perked upwards. She looked distressed, shifting around in her green trainers. Maya brought the women to meet Mr Pheonix Wright, the infamous "Ace Attorney" as she would have a case for them.

The women was Aoi Asahina a top athlete and winner of many swimming competitions. Pheonix wondered whatever *she* would need *him* for. "I'm here to ask you to represent my friend in court" Ms. Asahina told them. "He's my neighbour, Makoto Naegi" - "Nick, that's the guy who won 10 million dollars in the lottery last month!", Phoenix' assistant whispered to him. She still knew about that? Asahina, who overheard her, answered: "Yes, that's right. Makoto was that winner. He moved into my appartment complex shortly after."

Phoenix got back to the topic at hand: "Ms Asahina, why is Mr Naegi on trial?" - "They said he killed another one of the tenants. Sayaka to be specific." Maya burst out in shock at the mention of the victims name: "Do you mean THE Sayaka? The new Popstar sensation?!" - "...Yes" Aoi answered meekly. "NIIICK! Sayaka Maizono is dead!!" Maya cried devestaded. "I'm just as shocked as you are Maya. Please, don't cry", Phoenix tried calming down his mourning assistant and gave her a tissue to wipe her tears, In truth he never knew about this supposed Pop-Idol until just now.

After Maya had calmed down again Aoi asked coutiously: "So, will you represent Makoto in court?" Phoenix Wright was about to answer when Maya proclaimed "Of course we will!" and Phoenix added "Yes, we'll represent your friend in court, Ms Asahina" - "Thank you so much!" the sporty female exclaimed in relief.

Febuary 20th, 2019 (11:37 AM) - Detention Center, Visitors Room

Phoenix and Maya had gone to the detention center to meet Makoto Naegi, their new client. Makoto's friend Aoi who had engaged the pair just minutes before tagged along with them. As they stepped into the visitors room Aoi looked as if she wanted to jump right at Makoto and hug him, but that of course was not possible because of the glass pane seperating the room's halves. Makoto was an average looking young man wearing a fairly normal suit and tie which where a dark green kind of black. He had green eyes and nougat brown hair with a tall standing ahoge.

Aoi introduced Makoto to his attorney and the attorney's young assistant, then Mr Wright begann his questioning: "Alright, Mr Naegi. Could you tell me a bit more about yourself?" - "You sound a bit like that guy who lives above me, Hehe. I think his name was... Hifumi." Makoto trailed off a bit before quickly correcting himself: "Ah, but that's not what's important here, sorry." - 'I was just about to say...!' Phoenix thought to himself.
"Let's see... I'm a teacher. I work at Blackroot Junior Middle School", Makoto began "I'd say I'm a pretty average guy, maybe more gung-ho then most, but still very average." The attorney asked him the next question: "What's your relationship with the victim - Ms Maizono?" - "She was my next door neighbor. But we did go to the same middle school. It's actually the same school I'm teaching at right now as a matter of fact" At this point Maya chimed in cheeckily: "So are you childhood friends?" - "No, we barely even interacted." the man's answer left the girl mildly disappointed as he rubbed the back of his head. "Life sure is funny..." He mumbled melancholically.

Phoenix carried on "Can you tell me about the circumstances that lead to you being arrested?" Makoto thought on it for a moment then he let out a small breath "I'm getting asked so many questions today..." - 'Well that can't be helped when you are under suspicion of *murder*' Phoenix thought to himself. "I guess, I should start from the beginning, right?" Makoto begann with retelling his story: "Yesterday Sayaka and I decided to switch rooms for one night. when I got ready to go to work the next day after breakfast, I think that was around 7:20 AM, I saw the door to my own appartment was open a bit so I checked inside and..." He paused for a second at the dark memory "I saw the room in complete disarray, like a fight had happened in there. I was confused as to what happened so I stepped inside and saw the bathroom door standing wide open. Naturally, I peeked inside..." Makoto shuddered at the images "I saw Sayaka sitting slumped down in the shower with a knife in her stomach." Makoto finished retelling the events visibly unnerved. "What happened afterwards?" Phoenix inquired the young teacher. "I think I blacked out from the shock of seeing a dead body. I woke up in the cafeteria where some officers questioned the other tenants. And well... then I was arrested." Makoto gave a nervous chuckle "I guess they suspected me for the murder because the crime scene was my room...?"
