(Note: There's some censored swearing so I'm not sure if that's bad but. . . . there's some swearing either way. and I are still alive! Remember, same as last time, it's normally in Kanari's POV. The art is mainly Sakura's but I'll say something if the art is mine. Good luuuck!)

Metaru 'ahem'ed, "I, Metaru, have returned. I should be able to decode this binary if I have some time. . ." Hinata: Wait wat— Metaru sighed, "So, you met Rini Shimizu? Yep, I consider us different individuals, despite the fact that we can only be available when the other is not. As you can see, I'm for more serious things a six year old can't fathom, while Rini is reserved for those moments when we can feel a bit calm." Hinata: I-I see....well would it be alright for you to decode the binary before the trial Metaru-San? "I'll do my best." Metaru replied. Hinata: Thank you, that would be really helpful. *continues to investigate the area then leaves to investigate other areas* Metaru then goes blank as she enters very deep thought to try to accurately, but quickly decode the binary. Chiaki: *stays with Metaru to decode*Komeada: *follows Hinata* "01010101 00110010 01101000 01101000 01100001 01010011 01000010 01011010 01100100 01011000 01001010 01110000 01001001 01000110 01100100 01110110 01100010 01101101 01010010 01101100 01100011 01101001 01000010 01001001 01100010 00110010 00110101 01110110 01100010 01101101 01101100 01101110 01011001 01010111 01101011 00111101 00001101 00001010. . . Turn that through more binary-to-text programs. . . U2hhaSBZdXJpIFdvbmRlciBIb25vbmlnYWk=. . . Send that CAREFULLY into Base64 translations. . ." Metaru mumbled. Chiaki: Base64? I learned that before... Hinata and Komeada: *investigating around the cottages/dorms* "Chiaki. . . You may not believe me, but we're required to use almost the exact opposite thought process from the previous trial. The culprit is someone that was fairly close to the victim. . ." Metaru whispered the answer to Chiaki. Chiaki: Really? Well not many of us are close to her. Shai is the closest but I doubt she has enough confidence to murder someone, especially her sister, she even fainted after seeing the corpse. We might suspect Hinata-Kun because he was hanging out with Kanari recently, Kanari-San might get along with Sonia-San after the 'Justice Warrior' trial.... "However, Sonia died in the previous trial. You should've learned from the third trial that looks are deceiving. . ." Metaru mumbled, "Also there's literally no reason-- no proper reason for Hajime of all people to kill someone suddenly after doing his best to help in the trials, even though me, Kanjõ, Kanari, Ash and Shai for the most part stole that role." Chiaki: True, after Hinata-Ken helped us so much in the trial he has a lower chance of killing someone... "Can we really even afford to try to get other students to be subjects?" Metaru asked. Chiaki: I don't know unfortunately, since this is going to be a trial of life and death.....who do you think is the suspect Metaru-San? "The result I got from Base64 translation processes, Shai *Yuki* Wonder Hononigai." Metaru stated. Chiaki: 'Shai Yuri Wonder Hononigai'? And...Kanari-San wrote down that their old name was 'Yuri'...it's... ". . . Hm . . ? Also, your hair looks like cotton candy for some reason." Metaru randomly commented. Chiaki: Hm? No one has ever told me that before. "I'm lucky I'm the first, then." Metaru stated. Chiaki: In a way, yes I guess? "Okay. Back to business." Metaru stated. Chiaki: This is important evidence since we would have never expected 'them' to be the killer. "Okay." Metaru then went full robot for a moment, "Saving data. Data successfully saved." Chiaki: *slightly dumbfounded but then continues investigating* Metaru then sat in a corner. Metaru pulled out a journal a began to silently read it. Chiaki: *slightly and hesitantly lifts up Kanari's corpse to reveal a bloody hand along with a "I'm sorry that I couldn't control that side."* Metaru made some hardly understandable mutters to herself about events that Rini had experienced yesterday while she wasn't available. New clue: a dying message. Chiaki: *stares at the strange message then decided to join Hinata and Komeada on their investigation* Metaru was now in deep thought staring this journal down, trying to process everything.

Timeskip to Trial

Monokuma: Alright! Let the trial grounds begin!Shai: *crying* I can't believe my sister died... who killed her!? And what's their motive?!
