"SHE'S DEAD?" Elliot yelled, freezing up. "No, that can't be it. She was here a few minuets ago. That can't be the case."

Yosuke broke into a cold sweat, her cyan eyes darting around the room. "Her throat..." She states, looking like a dear in headlights.

Elliot stood up, looking at the knight. "You get Leader-san. I'll get Namaeda and Furamenko."

Yosuke breathed in. "Lord Hijime and Lord Yoshiki would be in Lord Yoshiki room." She states, walked weakly towards the door.

Elliot walked along side with Yosuke. Yosuke's eyes were filled with panic and unstable fear.

As the two girl parted ways, Elliot noted how shaken Yosuke was.They were friends...

Elliot walked towards where Yoshiki's room was - which was near hers, surprisingly.

She walked, pondering.

"Her throat..." was Nichibotsu throat where the wounds are? Well, obviously.

She felt uncomfortable.

When she finally came to Yoshiki's room, she firmly knocked on it.

"Hey, Furamenko..." She states loudly. "Please come out."

Of course, the said artist opened the door, looking tired. "Hello, Elliot-tan. Is there something wrong?" He looked above Elliot, "Where's Yosuke-tan?"

"She's getting Kaiba." Elliot answered, her body tense. "Ikari is..." She stumbled over her words.

"We need to get to the gym."

Yoshiki looked behind him - probably looking for Hijime. "Hijime-tan!" He said softly, "Are you awake?"

Elliot noticed Hijime stumbling towards Yoshiki. "I-I-Is th-there something wr-wrong...!?" His voice sounded hoarse, slightly freaking.

Elliot glanced at the short boy, looking scared. "Ikari. She..." The blonde paused, "She's dead."

🍙🍙FANGAN FONPA!🍙🍙

Elliot softly opened the gym door, glancing into the room.

Laid there was Nichibotsu. And Kosabachi and Yosuke looking above the basketball star.

Elliot winced as she walked into the gym, looking at the body.

Nichibotsu laid on her back, eyes glassy and blank. A thin, red line roped around her neck, however, no other part of her body was injured.

A water bottle was gripped in her left hand.

"She..." Elliot, looked away from the corpse. "She really is dead, huh..."

"Dammit!" Kosabachi shrieked, her fists clenched. "I worked so hard to try and stop this...!"

Yosuke knelt down, and clasped her hands. "Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking, Morn of toil nor night of waking.Your hope, your heaven, your trust must be." She states solemnly.

Yoshiki glanced at Yosuke, confused. "Is that a prayer?" He asked awkwardly.

The blue haired girl glanced up at him. "Thee is quoting the Lady of the Lake."

DING DONG, DING DONG! The intercom ringed, "A body has been discovered! You have twenty minuets and then a trial shall commence."

>>Investigation!<<

Elliot glanced at her Monopad, glancing at the victim file.

Victim #2: Nichibotsu Ikari.
She was found in the gym.
She died at 12:30.
She has no external or internal bleeding.

Elliot realized that, unlike Kohaku's file - this was much shorter in length.

He's going to make progressively harder as this goes... Elliot thought, glanced at Nichibotsu's limp body.

Kosabachi stood firmly next to her. "She must've of died via strangulation. That would explain the ring around her neck... possibly done with a rope."

Elliot knelt down beside Nichibotsu's body - smell of death fragrant in the air. This is so weird...

"Huh," Elliot states, touching the red ring. "The rope must been thin, since the bruising is so slight..."

Kosabachi clasped her hands together, "That's a great idea!" She chirps. "I'll go investigate and ask around for that."

Elliot looked intensely at the body, noticing a slip of paper under the Nichibotsu's corpse.

Elliot, obviously, picked it up. And of course, she read it.

It was ripped up, only showing bolded, italic lettering. 

Nichibotsu is a girl.

Wait, what? Elliot read, looking confused. No, that can't be...

>>RIPPED UP NOTE!

Elliot immediately shoved the note in her pocket, a bit unnerved. Was Ikari killed because she was a girl? Oh god.

She stood up, noticing Kosabachi entering the gym. She was holding a red electrical cord, slightly frayed.

"Ohohoho, I found the murder weapon! It was in the trash."

Elliot walked over to the redhead, taking the rope.

"Huh, so this..." Elliot paused, "killed Ikari."

Kosabachi nodded. "Of course, it's quite lazy if them, too. Don't they know we'd search stuff like that?"

>>Red Electrical Cord!

"Anyways..." Elliot states, "I wonder... Er, Leader-sama, where were you?"

Kosabachi gave an awkward look. "If you think I killed Nichibotsu, you are sorely wrong. But... I was in my room. If you ask Ayameko, or Eda, they'll confirm I was in there. You know how Ayameko collected everyone's secrets?"

Kosabachi placed her hands on her hips, "Well, she insisted we throw them out. I wanted to keep them - but alas, Ayameko and Eda went to the kitchen to dispose of them."

"Oh."

>>Kosabachi's statement.

🍙🍙FANGAN FONPA!🍙🍙

Elliot glanced into the kitchen, seeing Ayameko and Eda being interrogated by Yoshiki - oh, and Yui, too.

"I swear, I was in here the entire time." Ayameko spoke calmly, "I was putting everyone's secrets in the trash. Along with Eda."

Yoshiki hummed, and then noticed Elliot. "Oh, Elliot-tan! Yui and I were obtaining Eda and Ayameko's alibi's!"

Eda glanced at Elliot with disdain. "Affirmative, clod. Are you that much of a pebble to believe that Ayameko or I would kill someone?"

"N-no..." Yoshiki stuttered.

"Of course not, Lord Eda. Yoshiki and Thy just wanted to know."

"Of course. Because a humble rock enthusiast and... whatever Ayameko is, are the totally murderers." He said sarcastically.

Ayameko gave Eda a look of horror, and looked at Elliot, Yoshiki and Yui. "Please, that is not true. I would never do something like that."

"You clod, that was a joke!" Eda retorted to her.

"Oh, um, yes. I knew that." Ayameko stated, embarrassed. "I was playing along."

So they were both in the kitchen...? Ok.

>>Eda and Ayameko's alibis

🍙🍙Fangan Fonpa!🍙🍙

Elliot glanced at Yui, who was with Leon in the school store.

"Why are you two here?" Elliot asked Yui, who looked a bit rugged up.

Yui looked at her strangely. "Leon and I were... getting something... for tomorrow morning."

Leon nodded with the smaller boy. "Yeah, and then we were going to leave to investigate. So..."

Oh. "Well, did you see anything strange before you heard the alert?"

Yui looked at Elliot. "No, not really. However," Yui paused, ".... I noticed that one of the electrical cords were gone."

Oh goodness! That red electrical cord Kosabachi had... that means...

>>Missing Electrical Cord at the store.

Elliot glanced outside and then...

"Bing bing bing!" Monokuma yelled over the intercom. "The 20 minuets for investigation are OVER! Please head over to the gym for the trial! Don't worry - Nichibotsu's body will not be there."
