Yukari: Now, let's have a little psychological test.
What does this image look like?
...Yes, if a hundred people answered, there will be a hundred different answers.
This is the famous Rorschach Test.
It's a personality test where people's thought processes can be analyzed through their interpretation of bilaterally symmetrical images.
There are many other psychological tests beside this.
The Baum Test analyzes the emotional states of people by having them draw an apple tree.
The Szondi Test can predict people's impulsive tendencies by having them choose what they find most appealing and most repulsive from a group of 8 photos.
What you can learn from these tests is...
that you can get a lot of information from examining a little bit of a person's behavior.
In other words...
if you wanted to figure out if somebody is a murderer or not...
what you should pay attention to is...
The feeling she had when she committed murder.
That was fear.
Regret.
Panic.
After the moment of elation, she felt crushed by the sin she had committed.
...In the end
she wasn't strong enough to bear the weight of murder.
Abnormal Days
Reimu: (The scene that met our eyes when we entered the Trash Room)
(I only knew one word to describe it.)
"Despair."
Sanae: Whaaaaaaaa!?
Marisa: Mo...kou...?
Remilia: Wh-Why?
Yukari: Good work, everyone.
As you can see, it looks like the second and third murder has occurred.
Tewi: T-The third...?
Rumia: W-Wait a minute...
No way... Mokou too...?
Nazrin: T-That can't be true...
Mamizou: ...Is she really dead?
Yukari: Yes, I should make that clear first.
A body has been found!
After a period of investigation time, we will hold the Class Trial!
So, with that said...
I'll have you uncover the culprit at the "Class Trial."
Sanae: ...So... it's true.
Marisa: Both of them... are really dead.
Sakuya: So this is... a serial murder.
Mamizou: ...I don't like this.
Rumia: W-Why...
Remilia: ...But, how was it done?
I was in front of this room the entire time...
Marisa: Yeah, everyone was outside the Trash Room...
Nazrin: In the first place, why were two people killed?
Killing multiple players is risky and has no merit, right?
Tewi: And what was that murder notice about, anyways?
What part of this murder is anything like an "imitation murder"?
Reimu: (...This case)
(as everybody says, there are too many strange points.)
(The circumstances of this scene don't make sense...)
(Is there really...)
(a way to tie these scattered clues into one "truth"...?)
(...No, this is no time to be weak-willed.)
(No matter how baffling the mystery, no matter how complicated the trick...)
(the culprit of this case)
(...is someone I can't let get away.)
Yukari: I'm sure there's no end to the questions you have about this mysterious situation...
but you should figure them out for yourselves with your investigation.
So, with that said...
Please start your investigation.
Investigation Start
First, I'll give you these.
Ta-da, it's the Monokuma File!
Reimu: ...I am not going to comment on that.
[Ammunition Get!] "Monokuma File 2" was recorded in your notebook.
[Ammunition Get!] "Monokuma File 3" was recorded in your notebook.
Reimu: We won't be able to do anything else until we check these.
"The victim is the 'Super duper high school ice maker,' Cirno."
"The cause of death is blood loss from multiple wounds. The victim has been stabbed with a large blade."
"She received many frontal wounds in her abdomen, but it is believed that it took about 5 minutes for her to die."
Marisa: Multiple wounds. ...That means she was killed by getting stabbed many times.
...Damn it.
Mamizou: That's strange.
The only "Ultimate Weapon" that can be used for stabbing is the "Knife," correct?
Rumia: Huh? But...
The Knife was used in the first case so it was thrown away, right?
Reimu: ...Mamizou, you were keeping watch over the DDS Room, weren't you?
Mamizou: Yes, I kept watch today too.
Reimu: Was the Knife disposed of when you were last there?
Mamizou: I was keeping watch until right before the incident, about 11:30...
At that point, the Knife had definitely been disposed of.
Satori: Can you prove that testimony?
Tewi: I can.
Because I was keeping watch with her during that time.
Mamizou: ...That's correct.
Until right before the incident occurred...
all the Weapons used during the previous case had been disposed of.
Reimu: (The four weapons used during the first case, the Knife, Night-vision Goggles, Master Key, and Gold-coated Model Sword...)
(Mamizou confirmed that until 11:30, they all had been disposed of.)
[Ammunition Get!] "Mamizou Futatsuiwa's Testimony" was recorded in your notebook.
Nazrin: But, how are we going to investigate the scene?
I'm sure if we investigate around the body, we would learn many things...
but Cirno is lying in the access-limited area of the Trash Room.
Marisa: ...Huh?
Only one person can go into the Trash Room, right?
...How did the culprit kill Cirno "inside" of the Trash Room?
Sanae: Oh, since only one person can go in, it's actually like a "sealed room."
Nazrin: ...Come to think of it, that is strange.
Since she was stabbed to death, she must've been killed at close quarters.
Sakuya: So this is... a sealed-room murder.
Rumia: Huh? But if we're going to investigate inside...
does that mean someone has to use their Medals to open the shutter?
Tewi: Who would do that?
Rumia: Huh?
Tewi: Only one person can go inside the Trash Room.
There's no way we would let one person investigate alone, when we don't know who did it.
Nazrin: That's the problem.
As long the culprit can join the investigation, we can't check out places where only one person can investigate.
...If the culprit chose this place knowing that, she's pretty good.
Sakuya: But, we cannot go to the Trial without investigating the body.
We must think of a way.
Reimu: ...That's all that's bothering me about Cirno's Monokuma File.
Then, next is...
Satori: Mokou-san's Monokuma File.
Reimu: "The victim is the "Super duper high school immortal," Fujiwara no Mokou. The cause of death is a gunshot wound from a gun; instant death."
"She took a bullet to the back of the head, and the bullet did not pass through her head."
Nazrin: The cause of death is a gunshot wound from a gun...
Mamizou: So this one was... shot to death.
Sanae: Huh...!?
Marisa: S-Shot to death?
Reimu: ...What's the matter with both of you?
Sanae: Ah, no...
Marisa: ...I'll explain later.
Reimu: ...?
Remilia: But, it is strange.
If she was murdered with a gun, there would have been a gunshot, correct?
I was in front of the room the entire time. There is no way I wouldn't have heard one.
Satori: ...You didn't hear anything suspicious?
Remilia: While I was waiting, no one else came, and I did not hear any suspicious sounds.
I can swear to that on the name of the Scarlet household!
[Ammunition Get!] "Remilia Scarlet's Testimony" was recorded in your notebook.
Reimu: Mokou was shot to death in the Trash Room after we found Cirno's body.
Since Remilia was in front of the room, there's no way she wouldn't have heard the gunshot...
...What's going on?
Tewi: Huh-? I think it's pretty simple.
...There won't be anything strange about it if Remilia's the culprit.
Remilia: What?
Satori: It's true that would explain it...
but in a situation where she knows she would be the first to be suspected, she wouldn't have committed murder without some sort of rebuttal.
Sakuya: Not even my Mistress would create such a stupid murder plan.
Remilia: Sakuya, was that... supposed to be in my defense?
Reimu: (...If Remilia was Mokou's killer, it would explain this unnatural situation.)
(But, it's probably not that simple.)
Satori: ...That's strange.
Rumia: What?
Satori: Everyone, do you notice something strange about these two Monokuma Files?
Sanae: Now that you mention it...
Compared to the first case, there's a lot less information...
Reimu: Less information?
Marisa: That's true...
The Monokuma File for the last case had more specific information.
Mamizou: Hm... The information wouldn't be omitted for no reason.
If some information was purposefully omitted...
Mokou: There has to be a reason for that.
Mamizou: Huh...
Nazrin: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?
Sanae: Ghost------------!!
Mokou: W-What...
Remilia: ...Why are you naturally joining in the conversation?
Sakuya: Oh...
Mokou-san, so you weren't dead.
Mokou: I am the "Super duper high school immortal."
Tewi: ...If you weren't dead, what did you keep lying on the floor for?
Mokou: Wait, I don't really understand the situation.
Umm... I was killed, right?
Reimu: ...Yeah.
This is your Monokuma File.
...It looks like you were shot with a gun.
Mokou: Hmm, the cause of death was a gunshot to the back of the head.
Marisa: ...Seeing you confirm the cause of your own death is a strange scene.
Mokou: Ah, but I understand the situation now.
Even if I am immortal, getting shot through the head would knock me out.
Rumia: ...That isn't something to laugh about.
Sakuya: Mokou-san, do you remember anything about the situation when you were killed?
Mokou: The situation when I was killed, huh...
I was suddenly attacked on the head, and then nothing.
Marisa: ...Even if you are immortal, that doesn't mean you would know everything about when you were killed.
Remilia: So you did not see the culprit's face?
Sakuya: ...Even if you did not see their face, did you notice any sounds?
Mokou: U-Umm...
I didn't hear any strange sounds...
Sanae: That matches with Remilia-san's testimony about not hearing anything suspicious.
Nazrin: She was shot to death, but no one heard a gunshot. ...What's going on?
Reimu: ...It is strange, after all.
Everyone was in front of the Trash Room at that time, right?
(Now...)
(excluding Seiga and Koishi, I checked on all the players.)
Sanae: Oh, you're right.
Marisa: ...Then, who shot Mokou to death in the Trash Room?
Mokou: Oh, that reminds me.
It says in the File that "the bullet did not pass through her head," but...
does it mean this bullet?
Reimu: ...Where did you get that?
Mokou: It came out of my mouth a minute ago.
Sanae: Wow.
Sakuya: ...It appears to be a 45 caliber.
Of the "Ultimate Weapons," the one that uses this bullet is the "Revolver Handgun."
Reimu: The weapon that killed Mokou was the Revolver Handgun, huh...
[Ammunition Get!] "Sakuya Izayoi's Testimony" was recorded in your notebook.
Rumia: But it's great that we found out what the weapon was!
Mamizou: The Revolver Handgun is a weapon that's hard for small people to wield.
We can narrow down the list of culprits even more with this.
Tewi: Ah, before we move on, can I say something?
Mokou, you should go change and wash your face. ...Doesn't it feel gross to be covered in blood?
...And I think you should go calm down a little bit.
Mokou: Huh? Yeah...
You're right... I'll do that.
Then, I'll go get changed.
Reimu: (Mokou left the Trash Room.)
Marisa: Tewi, you're being nice for once.
Tewi: Huh? What're you saying?
I'm going to go follow Mokou and see what she does.
Marisa: ...Huh?
Tewi: Mokou seemed a little suspicious.
I thought she might give herself away if she thinks she's alone.
Nazrin: ...You have a great personality, as usual.
Tewi: Okay, see you-
Reimu: (Tewi Inaba snuck after Mokou.)
Mamizou: What a very distrustful fellow.
...We can't let her go alone.
I'm going after Tewi, so two other people come with me.
Marisa: Ah... Yeah, you're right.
Then Sanae and I will go with you.
Sanae: Yes, excuse us.
Reimu: (Mamizou, Sanae, and Marisa left the Trash Room.)
Rumia: ...?
Is there a reason why they all needed to go together?
Remilia: Oh, but that is important.
In this case, there were two other body discoverers, excluding the culprit.
It is dangerous to investigate with only a few people.
Reimu: (Considering the timing that the body discovery announcement was rung...)
Mokou: Since the body discovery announcement was rung...
somebody already found a body!?
(As Remilia said, there's no mistake that there were two other body discoverers besides the culprit.)
(And since it's not clear who they are...)
Remilia: Yes, multiple players have discovered the body, but they will not speak out.
Worst case scenario, the culprit may have two accomplices.
Sakuya: Another possibility is that multiple players with evil intent have discovered the body.
Remilia: Either way...
if we allow groups of less than three players, there is risk of them disposing evidence.
Rumia: Oh, so that's why Mamizou made a group of 4.
Nazrin: ...We can't be here talking all day either.
We should make teams and investigate too.
Reimu: There are 6 people left... We'll have to split up into groups of 3.
Satori: ...That's not very good.
I have an idea about investigation teams.
For now, these four can make an investigation team.
Remilia: W-Wait a minute.
That would mean you would be investigating with just the two of you.
Nazrin: I'm not suspecting you, but letting just the two of you investigate wouldn't be...
Satori: No, it wouldn't be just the two of us.
If we add Fujiwara no Mokou-san and Seiga Kaku-san, there would be 4 people.
Sakuya: ...So that is what you meant.
Rumia: No, wait!
You're planning to release Seiga?
Remilia: ...That is a bad idea. She will only cause trouble.
She was confined the entire time, and she does not have anything to do with this case, does she?
There is no reason for Seiga to participate in this investigation.
Satori: Does she really... have nothing to do with this case?
For sure?
Remilia: ......
...When you say it like that, I lost my confidence.
Sakuya: It is true... she is the type of person who would do evil things behind our backs.
Even though she was confined, I believe it is not absolutely certain that she is unrelated to the case.
Nazrin: Although that does make sense...
I think the risk is bigger, so I can't agree.
Remilia: ...Arguing about it here is a waste of time.
We do not have a choice. Let us start the investigation with those teams.
Nazrin: ...Well, if Remilia agrees, I won't go against you all.
Then, we'll start by investigating the Trash Room.
Satori: We will meet up with Seiga-san and Mokou-san and investigate other places.
Rumia: Then, we'll all meet up later and share information!
Reimu: Yeah, see you later.
[Moved from the Trash Room.]
Satori: ...Reimu-san.
Can I ask you something?
Reimu: What is it?
Satori: What do you think the culprit of this case is like, Reimu-san?
Reimu: ...Let's see.
Two major things happened before this case.
The first is the murder notice with the Indian dolls...
And the other is the poisoning attempt where the "Perfume" was added to the water supply.
If those two actions were part of the plan that's connected to this murder...
I think the culprit is a deep thinker who makes meticulous plans.
Satori: ...I see?
Reimu: But, if that was the case, there are several things that don't make sense.
If it was part of one plan to murder two people...
wouldn't that mean the culprit's meticulous plan was to commit murder in an impossible situation?
Satori: Is there something strange about that?
Reimu: Cirno was killed by getting stabbed multiple times.
The culprit, who made meticulous plans and lived for murder...
when it was time to kill, suddenly lost her cool and stabbed over and over again?
I felt something's not right about that.
Satori: ...You have your eye on a good point.
Then, from that, what do you think the culprit is like?
Reimu: The culprit is the type of person who's smart enough to make plans, but isn't good at actually killing somebody...
Or, there's more than one culprit, and one is a calm, intelligent type and the other is cowardly...
Or...
maybe something happened when the culprit was acting out her plan to make her plan go wrong?
I can't say anything else since I don't have enough information...
Satori: Fufu...
...That wasn't a bad prediction.
But...
...Reimu-san, please forget everything you thought of now.
Reimu: Huh?
Satori: It's better to think that for this case, it's impossible to figure out the culprit from her motive or what you think she's like.
Likewise, it would be difficult to determine everything about the murder from the evidence left.
Reimu: W-What do you mean?
If we can't figure out the truth from the culprit's personality or the evidence, there would be no meaning to the investigation or the debate.
Satori: Yes, that is the trick the culprit set up.
Reimu: ...You mean the culprit's trick is to make it difficult for us to grasp the entire case?
Does that mean my hypotheses were all wrong?
Satori: No, that's not the case.
What I meant was... it would be difficult to figure out the truth if you try to grasp the entire case.
Reimu: ...You're saying I should think of a different approach.
[Ammunition Get!] "Satori Komeiji's Testimony" was recorded in your notebook.
Satori: Don't worry, it's simple.
Even if you can't understand the entire case, it's still possible to reach the truth.
...What you need to solve an impossible murder is not a grasp of the entire case nor the culprit's motive.
What you should think about is that one simple thing...
Now, Reimu-san.
You'll understand if I say this much, right?
Reimu: No I won't.
[Moved to the Infirmary.]
Reimu: ...There's nothing unusual about the Infirmary.
Hm...?
...The sound of people talking inside the room?
(There's somebody inside?)
[Moved inside the Infirmary.]
Seiga: Oh, Reimu-san.
The fact that you came here must mean...
you're letting me join the investigation, correct?
...I'm honored.
Reimu: ......
...Are you alone?
Seiga: Huh?
Yes, as you can see, I am alone.
Reimu: ...I heard the sound of talking though.
Seiga: Reimu-san, you must be tired.
Reimu: ...Well, whatever.
Seiga: By the way, the fact that you're here means you're letting me join you, doesn't it?
Satori: ...Only if you plan on helping with the investigation.
Seiga: Oh, of course I will.
Because being useful to everyone is my greatest happiness.
Reimu: You're full of hot air...
Seiga: ...But, I don't quite understand the situation.
I know a body has been found because of the announcement, but...
Reimu: Oh yeah, since you've been locked up the entire time.
(...So Seiga doesn't know anything that happened until the case.)
[Ammunition Get!] "Seiga Kaku's Testimony" has been recorded in your notebook.
Satori: ...It would be difficult to investigate without knowing anything.
If you're going to cooperate with the investigation, we'd better give you information.
Reimu: Yeah, we should explain what happened while you were locked up.
Then, I'll tell you in brief.
[Summed up the occurrences up until tonight's incident to Seiga Kaku.]
Seiga: Hmm... I see.
A murder notice from dolls... A poisoning attempt that put poison in the water supply...
An impossible murder in a sealed room, and a serial murder in a baffling situation...
...Sigh.
Reimu: What's wrong... Why are you sighing?
Seiga: But, but, it's just too much!
Such interesting things happened, and I missed them all... I'm very disappointed...
Reimu: What...?
Satori: ...You're the same as always.
Seiga: But...
From what I heard now, I was able to narrow down the list of suspects.
Reimu: Huh...
...Really?
Seiga: Yes.
I believe...
the culprit is a human or youkai between the age of ten and ten thousand, and...
that she is a girl.
Reimu: ......
Satori: ......
Reimu: ...On second thought, should we just keep her locked up?
Satori: That may be better for our mental health...
Seiga: P-P-Please wait
I was just fooling around a little.
Reimu: ...I'm not looking forward to the time to come.
[Took Seiga Kaku with us and moved from the Infirmary.]
Seiga: So, Reimu-san.
Where shall we investigate first?
Reimu: Let's see...
First, we need to look at the Trash Room, where the case occurred.
And, we should check the two victims' rooms.
After that... it'll depend on everyone else's investigation results.
Seiga: I see.
Satori: I think Remilia-san's group should be done investigating the Trash Room by now.
Mokou-san might be back too...
How about we go back and investigate the Trash Room now?
Reimu: Yeah, let's check out the scene of the crime.
[Moved to the Trash Room with Seiga and Satori.]
Reimu: How are you doing? Is your investigation going well?
Nazrin: Ah, it's Reimu.
Sakuya: And Seiga-san...
Satori: Have you found any helpful pieces of evidence?
Nazrin: For now, I dowsed for "evidence that's related to this case."
As a result, I found several pieces of evidence in the outside area of the Trash Room.
Reimu: By outside area, you mean...
the area right by the entrance to the Trash Room, where everyone is now.
Nazrin: Yeah.
Several pieces of evidence were scattered around the entrance of the Staff Room.
Reimu: The Staff Room entrance...?
Seiga: So, what have you found?
Nazrin: ...Well, they're things we're not sure what to make of.
Reimu: You're not sure what to make of them?
Nazrin: Take a look.
[Ammunition Get!] "Night-vision Goggles" was recorded in your notebook.
[Ammunition Get!] "Broken Hand Mirror" was recorded in your notebook.
Reimu: ...
...What's up with these?
Satori: "Night-vision Goggles"...? Why is something like this here?
Seiga: The "Night-vision Goggles" makes me think of Rumia-san...
Rumia: I-I don't know anything about it!
I kept saying that before too!
Remilia: Oh, but who else besides you would want a weapon like this?
Reimu: But didn't Rumia use up her chance to reobtain weapons?
Satori: She did have two weapons during the first case.
Sakuya: But, if it was not Rumia-san...
Who, and for what purpose, obtained the "Night-vision Goggles"?
Nazrin: Yes, it's hard to understand.
The "Night-vision Goggles" is a weapon that needs "darkness" to be activated to be used.
Remilia: It is simple.
Rumia, if you were the culprit's accomplice, it would explain why the culprit had the goggles.
Rumia: W-Wait a minute!
A-Are you saying I teamed up with somebody to kill Cirno-chan!?
Remilia: Right now, there is no evidence that can disprove such possibility.
Seiga: That's incorrect.
That's incorrect... I think.
Remilia: Oh, why?
Seiga: It's clear if you think about the motives of the culprits' actions.
Reimu: What do you mean?
Seiga: In this case, it's not clear who the body discoverers are.
But, isn't that obviously strange?
That means the culprits are hiding the identities of the body discoverers.
...Do you understand what their motive for doing so is?
Remilia: Why the culprits would hide the identities of the body discoverers...?
Nazrin: ...Probably
their aim is to make us suspect each other. ...I think.
Remilia: What do you mean? ...Explain.
Rumia: Umm...
Do you mean that it'll be hard to work together if some people don't tell us they found the body?
Reimu: ...The culprit's goal was to make us suspicious of each other.
So the reason why a weapon like the "Night-vision Goggles" was left at the scene was...
Satori: To make suspicion fall on Rumia-san.
Seiga: Yes, this is one of the culprit's methods to divide us...
The culprit of this case seems to be a person who wants to psychologically disturb us.
Remilia: I see. That is a sound theory.
...So, did you think we would believe that?
Seiga: Oh, you don't believe me?
Remilia: Did you honestly believe we would trust someone who kept disturbing the peace over and over again until now?
Seiga: ...Well, I suppose there's no helping it.
If it is everybody's choice to not believe me, I will happily accept that.
Nazrin: You're a troublesome person, as usual.
Sakuya: Seiga-san, if you are participating in the investigation, would you make your stance clear?
Seiga: Stance?
Sakuya: Are you our ally? Or are you the culprit's ally?
If you do not make that clear, we cannot investigate with you.
Seiga: I am everybody's ally.
Remilia: ...This is getting nowhere.
Seiga: I am not the Black's ally nor the White's ally. I am everybody's ally equally.
Half of my statements are misinformation that helps the culprit...
and the other half is truthful logic.
Sakuya: ...That is more dangerous than if you were completely on the culprit's side.
Remilia: We should keep her locked up after all.
Seiga: Oh, don't say such cold things.
Changing the subject...
If the culprit obtained the "Night-vision Goggles" to flame up suspicion between us...
don't you think there's a deep meaning to that?
Rumia: Huh...
Reimu: Is it something that important?
Seiga: In this case, the victims' causes of death were being stabbed to death and being shot to death, correct?
That means, at the very least, two types of Ultimate Weapons were used.
Reimu: ...I see.
The players can obtain up to two weapons...
but if we include the Night-vision Goggles, the culprit had at least 3 weapons.
Nazrin: The culprit might have an ability that lets them obtain more than 2 weapons...
or the culprit had one or more accomplices.
Remilia: If that is the case, this situation is rather unnatural, is it not?
Reimu: Why, Remilia?
Remilia: Using a third "Ultimate Weapon" just to confuse us...
that is like deliberately leaving a hint that could lead us to the culprit.
Sakuya: Yes, at the point the third weapon was used...
the only possibilities are the "miracle" and "good luck" abilities and that there was an accomplice.
Remilia: The risk is rather big just to confuse us, don't you think?
Nazrin: ...It makes no sense.
Why did the culprit use a trick like that when there was such a risk...?
Seiga: Perhaps...
there was a reason why the culprit had to obtain the third weapon.
Rumia: ...Why would someone besides me want the Goggles?
Seiga: ......
Who knows?
Reimu: ...This case won't be straightforward either.
Nazrin: By the way, about the other piece of evidence that was left here...
Reimu: The "Broken Hand Mirror," right?
Rumia: I don't understand this either.
Sakuya: If it was somebody's personal belonging, perhaps it could help us find the culprit?
Remilia: Unfortunately...
I believe this is something from the Supermarket in the Recreation Area.
Reimu: So, anyone could've gotten it.
Nazrin: ...Anyways, what was the hand mirror used for?
Satori: I think the situations that require a hand mirror is limited.
Although it is an odd piece of evidence...
if we could figure out what this piece of evidence was used for, it would become a great clue that'll help us find the culprit.
Reimu: ...Even if you say that, I have no idea what it was used for.
Nazrin: Now...
According to my dowsing, there are pieces of evidence inside the Trash Room too...
Satori: How to investigate inside is the problem.
Sakuya: That is difficult. We cannot let somebody investigate alone...
Remilia: But we must investigate the body. What shall we do?
Seiga: I have a good idea about that.
Remilia: ...I suppose I will hear you out.
Seiga: You want to investigate the Trash Room with more than two people, preferably in a group of 4, correct?
You just have to do this.
First, Reimu-san uses her Medals to enter the Trash Room.
Before the shutter closes, Sakuya Izayoi-san stops time and goes inside.
Then, I will pass through the shutter and enter the room with my ability.
Finally, Remilia-san will transform into a bat and pass through the holes in the shutter to enter the room.
See, 4 people can enter the room like that.
Remilia: ...W-Wait a minute!
How do you know I can pass through the shutter if I transform into a bat?
Seiga: It's just a prediction.
The holes in the shutter are pretty wide, so I think you can do it...
Remilia: ...Oh really?
Even if that was the case, we cannot let you choose the investigation members.
Seiga: Oh, but there is a reason why I chose those 4 for the investigation.
Sakuya: The reason... why you chose those 4 to investigate?
Seiga: I...
want Remilia-san and Sakuya-san to prove their innocence.
Sakuya: ...What?
Seiga: Everyone, I'm sure you realized from listening to my words...
I think these two could've entered the Trash Room together.
Tied by the bond between master and servant, they fit the description of the culprits of this case...
You see?
Remilia-san, Sakuya-san, could you please use your abilities in front of us?
Remilia: ...What did you say?
Seiga: Not even an hour has passed since the incident occurred, has it?
If Sakuya-san was one of the Black and was involved in the murder inside the Trash Room...
it's highly possible that she activated her ability, right?
Sakuya-san can only activate her ability once in an hour...
That means she would not be able to use her ability now.
Sakuya: ......
Seiga: It is the same with Remilia-san.
If you two are not the culprit...
please prove it to us.
Right here, right now, please use your abilities and prove your innocence.
Remilia: ......
Nazrin: ...It does make sense.
Satori: ...You're causing trouble again, as usual.
Reimu: You're malicious even when you're on the detectives' side...
(...But)
(what Seiga talked about is something I would like to confirm.)
(...Although believing that Seiga is cooperating with the investigation in her own way is naive.)
Remilia: ......
Fufu.
Seiga, I always knew you were an intelligent person...
...but there are times when even you would make foolish remarks.
Seiga: Foolish... you say?
Remilia: ...You have guts, casting suspicion upon my precious servant.
Sakuya, we shall clear this suspicion upon us, on the name of the Scarlet household!
Reimu, open the shutter of the Trash Room.
Reimu: ...We have no other way, so we'll investigate with the method Seiga told us.
Okay, just a minute.
Satori, hold on to my Medals.
(I gave all but one of my Medals to Satori Komeiji, and put the remaining Medal into the monitor.)
(With a loud noise, the outside shutter opened.)
I just need to go inside, right?
Sakuya: And, before the outside shutter closes, I shall enter with my ability.
Reimu: Okay, ready...
go!
...The two of us were able to go in.
Sakuya: Mistress, was this satisfactory?
Remilia: ...Seiga, how about it?
Do you still have something to say?
Seiga: Oh, Remilia-san. ...The suspicion on you hasn't been cleared yet.
Remilia: ...Fine, I simply have to use my ability, correct?
Okay...
There!
Rumia: Ohh!
Nazrin: ...So this is the "Super duper high school vampire" ability.
Remilia: Ta-da! It's amazing, is it not?
Satori: It's...
more batty than I imagined.
Rumia: It's small and cute!
Come here!
Remilia: H-Hey! Stop it! Stop!
Reimu: It's a scene that totally lacks charisma.
Sakuya: That is part of the charm of my Mistress.
Reimu: ......
(Remilia and Sakuya were able to use their abilities.)
(According to Mamizou, the weapons weren't reobtained until 11:30...)
(Which means the incident probably occurred between 11:30 and 12.)
(It's before 12:30 now, and Sakuya's ability can only be used once an hour...)
(So at the very least, Sakuya didn't use her ability during the time of the murder.)
(As long as she's not the despair, she's probably not the culprit...)
Remilia: A-Anyways...
I proved I can use my ability with this, did I not?
Seiga: ...You're right.
It seems I was wrong in suspecting you two.
I'm sorry.
Remilia: ...!
Fufu, it is fine if you understand!
...This is no time to be casting suspicion on each other.
Seiga, we shall start our investigation of the Trash Room immediately!
Seiga: Yes, let's do that.
Reimu: ...It looks like Remilia fell for her taunts and did exactly what she wanted.
Isn't your master too easy to manipulate?
Sakuya: That is also a part of the charm of my Mistress.
Seiga: Then, let us go.
Reimu: (Seiga used her hairpin to pass through the outside shutter, and entered the Trash Room.)
Remilia: ...I shall go too.
Reimu: (Remilia nimbly passed through a gap in the shutter, and entered the Trash Room.)
(Then...)
Seiga: Oh?
...The inside shutter closed.
Reimu: ...I see.
The area between the inside shutter and outside shutter...
is for preventing multiple players from entering, so if more than two players enter...
some kind of sensor or something will detect that and close the inside shutter.
(...When Sakuya came up to the trash machine during the "time stop," the inside shutter hadn't closed yet.)
(Which means this system in the Trash Room doesn't account for people using their "abilities.")
(...This is something I should keep in mind.)
Seiga: ...Oh?
There's something dropped here?
Nazrin: Yes, according to my dowsing...
there should be 4 more pieces of evidence in the inside of the Trash Room.
Rumia: 4 more?
Satori: ...That is a lot.
Remilia: This culprit has scattered around many pieces of evidence, hasn't she?
Seiga: But...
at the very least, 2 of them are over here.
Reimu: Seiga, what did you find?
Seiga: I'll bring it over to you now.
Reimu: (Seiga and Remilia passed through the inside shutter, and entered the back of the Trash Room.)
Seiga: This is it. Here you go.
[Ammunition Get!] "Kitchen Knife" was recorded in your notebook.
[Ammunition Get!] "Knife" was recorded in your notebook.
Reimu: ..? There are ... two knives?
Sakuya: Ah, one of those...
is a kitchen knife from the Kitchen.
Reimu: Kitchen knife...?
Sakuya: It's an item from the game area.
Seiga: Can this be used to kill?
Sakuya: No, it has been modified so it can only be used for cooking.
I think it is possible to cut a person with it, but it would be difficult to give a fatal wound.
Remilia: ...There.
So that means it cannot be used as a weapon.
...Why is something so useless here?
Seiga: Since it's at the scene of the crime, it must be related to the case.
And, the other one is this...
Sakuya: This is the "Ultimate Weapon," Knife.
Reimu: It's the weapon that was used by Rumia during the first case and disposed of.
The culprit reobtained it and used it as a weapon.
Seiga: From looking at the state of this weapon, this is probably the weapon that killed Cirno-san.
Sakuya: Cirno-san's cause of death was getting stabbed. ...That is likely the case.
Remilia: But, I do not understand.
Why did the culprit throw the weapon in the middle of the room?
Reimu: Isn't that because it would be found by the dowsing, so there was no use in hiding it?
You know, since there were pieces of evidence left by the Trash Room entrance too...
Remilia: Yes, that's just it.
It is strange that the pieces of evidence were left in the middle of the room.
If the culprit wanted to leave the pieces of evidence, was there a need to scatter them around?
Seiga: ...You've noticed something interesting.
Reimu: (The scattered pieces of evidence... Now that she mentions it, that is a little strange.)
(The places the evidence were found... Is there a meaning to them?)
Seiga: Now that the 4 of us are together...
how about we start investigating near the trash machine?
Remilia: Yes, the investigation time is limited.
Sakuya: Where shall we start?
Reimu: For now, let's look around Cirno's body.
What are these things scattered around her?
Sakuya: Considering her ability of "Super duper high school ice maker"...
is it... ice?
Reimu: (I picked up a piece of a clear fragment scattered around Cirno.)
(When I did...)
...It's cold.
Remilia: So it is ice.
Reimu: Huh, but...
...there are ones that don't melt in my hands.
Are these... pieces of glass?
Remilia: Huh...?
Seiga: Pieces of ice and pieces of glass are mixed together and scattered around?
...Hmm.
Sakuya: I have a feeling...
that some large thing made of ice fell to the floor and shattered.
Reimu: (It's true. Many of the pieces of ice that are scattered around seem to be from some kind of sculpture.)
(...If it was something Cirno made of ice, what was it?)
Remilia: ...Hm?
What is this?
It was lying with the glass fragments...
Sakuya: ...They appear to be flower petals.
And not from a live flower, but a dried flower.
Seiga: Pieces of glass, and a dried flower...
...There was an "Ultimate Weapon" with that combination.
Reimu: It was... the "Hagakure-style Crystal."
A crystal ball with a dried flower inside, based on a frozen flower...
...So something happened here to make the crystal break?
[Ammunition Get!] "Shattered Crystal" was recorded in your notebook.
Remilia: The scattered pieces of ice bother me too...
but the amount of blood around the body also catches my attention. She has bled out badly.
Sakuya: She would bleed out this much if she was stabbed many times and died of blood loss.
But, since there is this much blood...
if the body had been moved, there would have been some trace of that. The scene of the crime was definitely here.
Reimu: No trace of anyone moving the body... huh.
Seiga: Reimu-san, do you have a moment?
Reimu: Hm?
(Seiga, who was checking Cirno's body, beckoned me over.)
What?
Seiga: I think you couldn't see it very well from over there...
but Cirno-san had something very interesting in her hand when she died.
Reimu: What...?
Seiga: It's this.
Reimu: It's... another artificial flower?
Seiga: It's a different color than the one we found on the floor previously.
Black flower petals... How meaningful.
Reimu: (Right before the incident, Cirno bought artificial flowers at the Supermarket...)
Origami, artificial flowers, ...sewing tools and a sculpting chisel?
What are you going to do with these?
(I thought they were for decorating the altar Rumia made...)
(But if they're here, that means...)
Sakuya: A corpse holding a flower...
...But, why did the culprit do such a thing?
Seiga: Isn't that because a corpse that died holding a flower is romantic and beautiful?
Remilia: ...If it was supposed to be an offering to the dead, that is too heinous.
Reimu: (...Now, then.)
(We were able to check everything around Cirno.)
(I'd better write down the information for now.)
[Ammunition Get!] "State of the body" was recorded in your notebook.
Reimu: And, we also need to investigate...
the trash machine.
Seiga: That is something we absolutely must check.
Sakuya: Since the murder occurred in the Trash Room, the possibility that it is related to the case is high.
Remilia: Then, let us first reconfirm how the trash machine is used.
I believe it turns on when someone gets close to the machine.
Once you put the item you want to dispose of in the machine...
you press the red button on the control panel to activate the machine, correct?
Reimu: ...It's been bothering me for a while
but what's the green button for?
Seiga: I asked Yukari-san about that before.
It seems that button is for stopping the trash machine.
Reimu: Stopping?
Seiga: If you press that green button, your Medals are refunded and the shutter opens so you can go out.
Reimu: Hmm...?
(A button to cancel your use of the Trash Room... I didn't know that existed.)
(I don't know if that's related to this case, but I should remember it.)
[Ammunition Get!] "Using the Trash Room" was recorded in your notebook.
Sakuya: Oh...?
...There is something under the trash machine.
Reimu: This is...
a sleeve of a shirt that was burned?
Remilia: Why is such a thing...?
Seiga: Considering the state of Cirno-san's body, the culprit must've gotten a lot of blood on her.
Perhaps she disposed of the blood-stained clothes here?
Remilia: ...You mean she burned her clothes and walked around in her undergarments?
Sakuya: That... is rather idiotic.
Reimu: The culprit burned her clothes to get rid of evidence...
But if she walked around in her undergarments, she would stand out instead... Hmm?
[Ammunition Get!] "Piece of burned clothing" was recorded in your notebook.
Reimu: ...That makes 4 pieces of evidence we found inside the Trash Room.
Sakuya: We have found all the pieces of evidence Nazrin-san talked about.
Remilia: We should be done with investigating the inside of the Trash Room now.
Seiga: Then, let's go out.
Reimu-san, could you cancel the use of the machine?
Reimu: ...Yeah, okay.
(Pressed the trash machine's cancel button.)
(The inside shutter opened with a clatter.)
(When the 4 of us moved to the middle area...)
(the inside shutter closed behind us...)
(and the outside shutter opened in front of us.)
(And, when the 4 of us moved out of the room...)
(...the outside shutter closed behind us.)
Nazrin: It looks like you're done investigating inside.
Have you found something?
Reimu: We found the 4 pieces of evidence you talked about.
Nazrin: That's great.
We should compile the evidence we found inside the Trash Room for now.
[Ammunition Get!] "Map of the Trash Room" was recorded in your notebook.
Sakuya: There is a lot of evidence this time.
Satori: That's true... Compared to the first case, it seems there are a lot more traces left.
Rumia: Why is there so many pieces of evidence?
Maybe the culprit was in a really big rush?
Nazrin: About that.
It seems there are more pieces of evidence for this case.
Rumia: There's more!?
Remilia: It truly is a lot.
...So much so that it seems unnatural.
Reimu: How many more responses for pieces of evidence are you getting?
Nazrin: According to my dowsing results...
there's one in Cirno's room,
one in the Restroom of the School Area on the first floor,
and...
Seiga Kaku, there are two pieces of evidence in your room.
Reimu: Huh...?
Seiga: My room...?
Rumia: ...What does this mean?
Remilia: Are you involved in this case after all?
If you are hiding something, it would be better for you to spit it out.
Sakuya: Mistress, if you wish, I can make her confess right away.
Seiga: P-P-Please wait a minute.
I-I really don't know anything this time.
Satori: ......
...Everyone, it's not good to make baseless accusations.
Reimu: ...You read her mind, didn't you? You were suspecting her too.
Satori: Let's investigate the piece of evidence in Seiga-san's room. We can talk afterwards.
Remilia: ...Yes, reaching a conclusion without the evidence would not be good.
Sakuya: It would not be too late to hang her after we find the piece of evidence that ties her to this case.
Rumia: It's alright if we beat her up after we find that piece of evidence.
Seiga: Would you please stop talking about such violent things!?
Reimu: Seiga's room... What could be there?
[Moved to Seiga Kaku's room with everyone.]
