The rating K+ means some bits of blood right? I...I'm not sure but... That will happen in the next 2 chapters handled by Akai-nee... ;n;

[Interrogation Room]

"Kuze... Answer me." Yamato asked. Hibiki remained emotionless, sitting on the chair as he looked at the observation window. Outside the mirror was Ronaldo, Makoto, Io, Alcor and Daichi. Ronaldo and Makoto was reviewing the crime scene while Alcor watched the shaken brunet.

I held my tongue

-Flashbacks-

"It really wasn't that hard to see how much you liked him, Miyako-chan~" The figure taunted. Lifting her chin, Miyako wondered who this person was. The person was using a male synthesizer considering the voice. Rough gloves are used to hide fingerprint. "I always knew the truth that's rotting underneath but you know what? I really didn't want to do this either, but you pushed me to do this..."

"Oh well~ Today's your lucky day. You'll die beautiful." The soon-to-be-murderer giggled.

[Outside]

"Do you recall the last time you had contact with Miyako, Shijima?" Alcor inquired. Daichi stopped and looked at him in the eye. Alcor was serious, especially when he was tasked to handle the demon trial system. He needed to know everything about the situation. The teen can't give way to his emotions, not when other higher entities will become the jury of the trial.

"Well... She called me while I was talking with Hinako and Jungo, stating that I asked her to: meet me in the garden alone so we could talk about stuff one on one." Daichi frowned, scratching the back of his head. "I don't recall texting her that so I asked her to come back to the school and she agreed... And then I waited and got worried so I went to check on her... I.."

The night ended so suddenly,

"I understand your sentiments Shijima. And I know you are not lying as Nitta-san has followed you while you went to the garden." Alcor looked acquiesced, bothered at something. Daichi looks at his side at a despondent Io. She hasn't spoken after hours of crying for Miyako's death. "Autopsy showed that the murder was done at the night of the Prom, having several curses placed on her for further torture."

And I left a friend behind.

"I just… I can't believe Hibiki would be the one to do that... I don't think he would take this friendship over love thing too far you know?" Daichi was really confused. Remembering those moments when Hibiki asked him to affirm their promise that the three of them be the best of friends forever and ever. "It feels wrong."

"However, the summoning radar does not lie. Lugh was summoned and was the exact entity who committed the murder. He even testified that it was Hibiki who is the one that has summoned him."

"Yeah..." Daichi still felt that something was wrong. What was it? He couldn't tell. Not right now. Io bowed her head slightly, looking down with dull brown eyes.

[Interrogation Room]

Everyone disappeared into the distance,

"Kuze... You are a stubborn fool. Do you understand the consequences of your defiance?" Yamato was pissed at the raven because he knew, the raven wasn't the one who did that. Yamato believed sincerely that Hibiki had no obvious motive. "I know that the motive presented by Ronaldo Kuriki is utterly false yet you accept it? Enlighten me as to why you accept that fool's conclusion?"

Leaving me behind.

"…" Hibiki didn't respond, as if he received a punch from his ex-superior. When Yamato left, Hibiki knew the albino wouldn't give up on him just yet. Because what Ronaldo said was the truth, a partial truth. No one knew the full story, too complex and painful to tear. It was just among them: Daichi, Io and Him.

I shouldn't cry, but I really want to…

-Flashback-

"Don't look back in the past." The friend whispered to the other, a small smile perched on lips. The friend held out a hand for the other. "Ignorance is a bliss for an audience including ourselves? Let's hide this secret from the whole world. Together, the Truth will never be found by the Administrator."

"Okay." The other answered. Reaching out and grasping the hand firmly, the two figures walked away, heading back to the ballroom.

Has the murder really been solved….?

...

My gut feeling tells me she's going to kill them... again. *sigh*
