Chapter 13 - Chapter 3: True Love (Class Trial + Execution)

Our third-class trial is different because we don't have much evidence except 'playing' with psychology and gladly, Lobak is on our side. "Dan, are you okay?" Honestly, not. But I should stay strong, "yeah, I'm just wondering why the killer did this" it's so intense and I can't blame them because I feel the same way. Our friends became victims, not one dead body, but two. one of them died when we all panicked with Kyoto's dead body in the storage room. "Guys, before I forgot I wanted to tell you something" everyone looked at me, "what?" I sighed. "in this class trial we shouldn't point a finger at anyone without any evidence... we just have one evidence and... I don't know why I start thinking..." I sighed and rub my chest. "The killer is one of us, but if something happened at the class trial... we should be careful" I rub my chest, and I felt that headache. "You right, Dan" Nakamura? "We just have wounds and karambit knife and our alibi is solid as a rock. BUT HOW YOU CAN TELL THERE IS ONE OF US THAT COULD BE A KILLER!? IT'S UNACCEPTABLE" I know... it's hard to understand in this situation here. "I know, we should trust each other, right? This time, we should trust each other" I looked at Aoi and she looks like wanted to tell something but.. I.. shouldn't do it here.

"Why we should trust each other? If one of us could be the killer" you right, Kaede "we trough this together, Kaede... we ate at the same table and the same person every day... I trust you more than anything" I... don't... know if I did a right thing, but... I should do this. This pod feels so slow. I looked at the ring that he gave to me, I miss you Haruto I really miss you, wish you were here, held my hand like the other day. I know you don't mean it. But rules are the rules, right? We can't change that except Monokuma did. The pod has been stopped and I took a deep breath "let's find justice for our friends" we stepped out and we saw Lobak with her arms crossed and glared at Aoi. "I know something odd between your relationship and your personal life, Aoi" we just looked at Aoi and Lobak. The awkward situation here, I cleared my throat and try to settle this situation. I pat Aoi's shoulder and we walked to our podium, like usually... snacks and mineral bottles here, next to our podium. "So..." Lobak cleared her throat and she looked at Monokuma, "listen, I wanted you to shut up when this class trial happened. Because you not at the command room when the murder is happened" Monokuma just silent, "how do you know? If I'm not at the command room" She smirked. "The Announcement, Monokuma... when a body has been discovered you directly announce it, right?" I heard a growled.

"So, here my conclusion. You try to frame me as an accomplished, you locked me in the garbage room for a week, You know I have OCD... Monokuma... I know it was you try to makes me look guilty" Monokuma growled, that's... intense. "Miru, please... we talked about that serial killer now" Miru took out her notebook. "So, I've been followed the Monster Killer since their first victim. The first victim is... a rapist. He never gets caught. The Monster Killer, killed him when he caught red-handed try to rapped a woman at the alley next to the club" Miru looked and he sliced at his troat with this weird weapon, a karambit" that's right karambit knife, "can you show to us the picture of the wound?" Miru nodded and she shows us.

"So, let's we start from the beginning shall we?" It's the perfect bait. "I will tell you what happened in the storage room" I will found you, the Monster Killer, "we all gathering in the cafeteria and we stopped our meal because Aoi suddenly appeared and told us that Lobak injured and all of us rushed into the infirmary" okay, here goes nothing... "And when we arrived, we saw Lobak, laying in bed with her head injured and bleeding. And she commands me to go to the storage room looking for something with Kyoto" Lobak nodded. "What kind of something that you mentioned earlier?" I shrugged my shoulders, "I don't know, she did not mention it" Lobak rubs her chin.

"Let me draw the map for all of you" Lobak draw the map and her drawing it's not too bad, "continue your story, Dan" I nodded, I'm thirsty honestly. "So I and Kyoto went to the storage room, in the storage room... we talking and searching 'something' that Lobak mentioned earlier. So I looked at CCTV and Kyoto said 'stand still' and when I did not hear her voice, I looked back and she already lying on the floor" Lobak nodded "why you did that? I mean when you approached the CCTV, why would you did that?" I'm scratching my hair, "I saw LED bopping like it's a morse code" Lobak looked at me "you can read morse?" I nodded, "the morse code, written now... after that Kyoto..." wait... and I saw she smiled at me. "Yeah... it happened after she told you to stand still" I sighed in relief. "When all of you in the infirmary do you see something suspecting on me?" Yashiko raised his hand "I noticed it" Yashiko? Why you did not tell us? "So, what is it?" Yashiko rubs his chin. "You always mention something if you wanted to us searching for you I mean you always mention what the object was and you always let us know where you keep it" she nodded "anything else?" Yashiko hummed and nodded "that watch" she smiled, "you always wearing that watch every day" Lobak nodded.

"I went to the bathroom after we arrived at the infirmary Nakamura can confirm it" Nakamura nodded, "he told me if he can't hold it" Lobak nodded "but... I heard something on my way to the bathroom" All eyes on Yashiko, "I heard someone vented in the MedBay" Lobak nodded, "are you checked the room?" He shook his head, "look, I know it's important but... I just can't hold it any longer. And I think it's a rat" Monokuma shook his head, "it's impossible there is a rat in the vent I always clean that vent with Lobak" she nodded. "One I agree with is... we always cleaning that vent every day. Like Monokuma said, that's impossible if rats stay at the vent" at least we got some clue.

"So, how you guys know that something happened in the storage? Dan can't contact anybody who stays in the infirmary? He guards Kyoto's body" She got the point, "I..." we looked at Kaede, "Hanabi crawling on the vent and..." I nodded, "so, Hanabi in the MedBay?" We looked at Hanabi, "no... I was on my way to the infirmary, I always follow my instinct" Lobak looked at her, "so, what kind of instinct?" Hanabi opened the mineral water and drink it, "just yours has contained poison" Lobak growled and she looked at Monokuma with a glare. "I'm always hiding if something wrong, like Yashiko said, I don't saw a watch on your wrist. And the other that makes me suspicious is, Aoi's behavior" so, it's could be? Monokuma? We looked at Monokuma and he looks cold sweating. "Why are you suspecting Aoi?" Hanabi sighed, "I have tons of experience in observing something, she looks like hiding something" Lobak nodded.

We looked at Monokuma and he looks so nervous. "Hey, answer my damn question, Monokuma! Or I will call your full name, Junko?" What happened here? "FINE!! You've got your prize" Monokuma gone and she smiled, "now, the mysterious me in the infirmary solved" and we still did not solve the crime yet, I looked at Lobak and she sits on the Monokuma throne and Monokuma takes her podium. What happened here? "So... when Hanabi told you what's going on, and where are you after you went to the bathroom, Yashiko?" Why is she suspecting Yashiko? "Y-you suspect me?" She shook her head, "I don't mean to accuse you, Yashiko... I'm asking you" She sighed. "Look, if we wanted to get justice, you should answer the question, it's important" Yashiko sighed "fine.." Yashiko opened the bottle "I'm heading to the infirmary and I saw the rest of us rushed into the storage room and I followed them" Lobak rubs her chin, "do you... saw someone beside Dan is missing?" Yashiko nodded, "yeah... Nakoyama, Kyoto, and Aoi" she glanced at Monokuma. "It's odd" all of us looked at Miru, "all of their victim is male, and has a lot of criminal records" I nodded.

"But... most of them is the rapist who never caught" she nodded, "We got the pattern here if I was the serial killer and I choose the rapist... it's because I'm the victims themselves or someone their loved become the victim" I agree with you, "what's wrong?" Lobak shook her head "Miru, who and when the first victim occurs?" Miru opened the page "1 year ago... the first victim name is Tadakumi Hakamatsu, he 29 years old, no jobs and.... he has lots of criminal records like abuse, prostitution, and sexual assault and he never arrested. I don't know how he got away... but I think he part of yakuza members. Because he has yakuza tattoos on his back" We just silent and looked at each other. "So, the victim was naked?" Miru nodded, "just his clothes were missing" maybe it's a trophy for the killer?

Lobak looked at Hanabi, "You crawling in the vent, right?" She nodded "so... when are you crawling in the vent you saw everything, what you see in the vent of storage room?" Hanabi nodded. "I saw a girl hands muzzling Kyoto's voice and when that happened I rushed to the infirmary and tell the others. But, Nakoyama decide to take care of Monokuma" we looked at Monokuma and he scratching his head, "fufufufu..." why is he laughing like that? "Can you answer it? You look suspicious, you can't kill your student, aren't you? Rules are the rules, Monokuma" Monokuma sighed and nodded. "You right, I'm with Nakoyama, but I did not kill her! I swear in the name of Junko" who is Junko? "I'm staying with Nakoyama and she helps me to the bathroom. It's hurt you know, beating yourself in the head" she smirk "your fault" Lobak taking note, "so after you went to the bathroom, do you saw Nakoyama there?" Monokuma shook his head, "are you sure? Should we trust you?" Monokuma looked me in the eye, "are you forgot the rule is Mr. Furukawa?" I giggled.

"I'm sorry Monokuma, it holds habit" It's because WE CAN'T TRUST OUR KIDNAPPER "so... what is the motive?" Yeah, Tsumiko right. What is the killer motive? "It's impossible to pick a girl, to be a victim if the killer always chooses male instead of a girl" we listen to Saichino, "I think it's a personal matter between the killer with the two victims" we looked at Saichino, "it could be right and it could be wrong..." she sighed, "why are you saying like that? You analyze on something?" Saichino nodded, "I just... have a feeling that killer is falling in love because... they still human right?" Yeah... it's possible. "So, Miru... do you have any other clues like... first eye witness statement or something useful?" I looked at Aoi, why she sweating? "Are you okay, Aoi?" Aoi looked at me, "I...I'm fine, it's just... hot here" you right, but I'm not sweating.

"Yeah... it's a statement from the 6th victim and she said she saw a teenager, a girl, and she wearing a weird mask.. like the Phantom of the Opera mask" no... "can you search some other victim's statment?" Miru opened the page "yeah... she using some kind a hand made bracelet. Wait... I think I know who is it "It's that you? Aoi?" Aoi just standing silent with her head down and we suddenly heard a laughing and she get out her knife. "Congratulation, Dan Furukawa... you got me" Am I right? "I'm THAT SERIAL KILLER! The Monster Killer" we silent and staring at her. "Why you guys just tanding there silent? Am I make you afraid?" She let out her signature smirk, "I knew it from the start... so why should we afraid with you?" Lobak sighed and he told Monokuma to switch the chair. "IF I killed that two poor girls, where is your proof?" I... no, I should did this.

"You fell in love with me remember?" Aoi nodded. "I was" I shook my head, "no... you still, you thought that Kyoto is the reason I rejected your hand-made bracelet, right?" Aoi just silent and stare at me, "Am I right Aoi?" Aoi laughing, "it still does not explain how I killed her, because... you on the other side of the box and walking to the corner?" You took the bait, "how do you know if I walked to the corner?" Aoi just silent, "did I mention it earlier?" Aoi growled. "So, how do I get out?" It's easy, "you vented, remember? The vent connected all the room, all the floor on this spaceship, Aoi" Aoi still denied it. "How I killed Nakoyama because she in the infirmary all the time?" I sighed. "Monokuma mention that earlier, do you listening to him? He said... Nakoyama help him to walk to the bathroom. And I really wanted you to know that.. Nakoyama waiting in front of bathroom door and you can drag her to the electrical room" so this is look like interogation with a serial killer? "So why I did that?" We looked at Tsumiko. "It's easy... because the bathroom is near the crime scene. You know Hanabi was watching you all the time and if you killed her, you against the rules, right?" Aoi growled. "So why I killed Nakoyama? She nothing to do with it, right?" I shook my head... "the reason you killed her is... she found out that you a killer doesn't it?" Aoi smiled. What a creep, I'm scared.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAA... You got me, Dan... congratulation" this is scary, "so go on..." I looked at her. "Go on and finish it" so, this is what Lobak feels when you have a secret admirer and they are the serial killer? I'm speechless.

Act 1

All of us gather at the cafeteria to eat our breakfast, The Culprit separated from us to get some fresh air. All of us still enjoying our breakfast and suddenly The Culprit rushed to the cafeteria and informed to all of us that Lobak in trouble. We took the bait, because it's not a real Lobak but it's Monokuma who disguise as Lobak. We focused on Monokuma because all of us panicking and that time The Culprit took the adventage and The Culprit walks to the MedBay.

Act 2

Not a long time after she gets out, Yashiko told Nakamura that he needs to go to the bathroom. And that time, The Culprit vented and she crawling underneath and walked to the storage room, she doesn't know that Yashiko heard her vented. The Culprit looked at Kyoto and me, The Culprit opened the vent slowly and waiting for the right moment, The Culprit jumped down and muzzled Kyoto and put her signature knife on her, and told Kyoto to makes me stands still in front of the CCTV. But The Culprit doesn't realize that Hanabi followed her, and she rushed to the infirmary to tell the others. You jumped to vent and closed slowly.

Act 3

The Culprit joined us and Lobak and tried not to look suspicious, but The Culprit took the chance when Lobak asked where Nakoyama and The Culprit were to search Nakoyama. The Culprit knows that Hanabi followed her and somehow she found out. The Culprit make her unconsious to hide her identity and Nakoyama accidentally saw her.

Act 4

The Culprit dragged Nakoyama to the electrical room and killed her. The Culprit dragged Hanabi's unconscious body next to the corpse and she starts to destroy the bodies and The Culprit joined us.

"The Culprit is you, Aoi Sakurage, or I said The Monster Killer" Aoi clapping her hand "hahahahaha... I don't know what I wanted to say" she sighed, "why you killed her, Aoi?" Aoi shrugged her shoulders "jealous, maybe? Because... I saw you spending more with her than me" I approached Aoi and looked her in the eye, "I wanted you to know that, I'm enjoyed it when we were chatting.. You shouldn't have to do this, Aoi. About the rejected bracelet" I picked the bracelet, "this mine, right? You made it for me?" Aoi nodded and I saw she wants to cry. "Hey..." Aoi hugged me tightly.

"Me and Kyoto... we investigate you, because you almost got executed, but now..." She laughing "it's okay, I know you can found to get out of here" I nodded, "you should vote" she pushed my shoulder gently and I'm heading to my podium.

Vote Result:

Aoi Sakurage found GUILTY!!!

TIME FOR PUNISHMENT

"Aoi!" Aoi looked back and Lobak approached her, "I'm sorry about what I said earlier" Aoi shook her head and she smiled, "go save the rest of us..." She walks to the dark tunnel and she disappear.

You should enjoy the system and don't disturb us, okay? If you did, I will delete you with my own two hands" Monokuma growled and Junko disappears.

"You won this time" Lobak shook her head, "no one can beat you, this time... but I already destroyed it again" Monokuma growled and she took a deep breath and released it slowly.
