AN: Is it time for another investigation?
King Okami: Thanks for the review!
Shadowplayer360: Nyahaha, interesting isn't it? Thanks for the review!
Ode30: The students lost this round. How sad, right? Of course Takayashi was murdered. Thanks for the review!
FateOblivion: I tried to rush the gameshows TBH since they were taking too much time than I wanted them to. Thanks for the review!
MizunashiFuyuko: I wonder why Takayashi was found dead in the animal room..? Thanks for the review! I love your new avvy btw :3
TheRoseShadow21: Thanks for the review!
Wmsm5ever: Thanks for the review! Love the speculation. About Takayashi, I like her character too, but since I saw her a lot, I changed her personality to be more hyperactive and stuff. And you are making me want to steal my sister's DS, lock her in the closet until I beat it, and then throw the DS her face when I'm done. JFC .-. I can't wait until I get my hands on Dual Destinies...
Unify: Thanks for the review! Love your speculation too! I CAN tell you this. The motive will be revealed throughout the investigation and trial (obviously, so that's no spoiler), and for Day Two with the music, everyone was "targeted."

…
There's...blood all over. Along the walls, in the cages, and more importantly, over the trap that lay Takayashi's body.
"W-what's the matter?!" Kirei asked as she ran in the room. "I-I heard screaming and-"
Her words were cut off by the truth that lay in front of her. Takayashi was killed by someone here.
"I-is that...Takayashi?" Kirei asked nervously.
I nodded, breathing heavily, trying to maintain my composure. I wouldn't faint this time...I have to be of help to the others. I walked over slowly, and placed my hand on the trap, yanking it aside.

…
"G-gross!" I screamed out.
"W-what is it?"
..."Kyaaaaaaaa!"
Soundtrack: A Dead End to the Ocean's Aroma
Beneath the tarp lay Takayashi's body alright. But her corpse was definitely not pretty. I'm not sure whether or not that explained the tarp, but one of her arms were missing, a chunk of her hip was gone, and both of her legs. Her head was twisted to the side, broken. Her body was no longer the hyperactive, fun girl that was Takayashi. It was a body annihilated by someone's cruel intentions.
"Upupupu!" Monokuma laughed as he appeared from behind us.
"What do you want?" I said. "Are you here to taunt us a little bit?"
"Hrrngh!" Kirei gulped. "What is this..?! Who could do such a thing..?"
"Upupupu, of course I'm here to taunt you!" Monokuma said. "But unfortuantely, I am not able to make the corpse discovery announcement just yet! You know that, right? You know, it's sort of shocking, you guys took fourty-five minutes to search for Takayashi's body! Sort of sad, you know? I know there's two domes, but they're not THAT big to search around."
"Shut up already!" I screamed.
"I did fancy Takayashi though," Monokuma admitted. "She reminded me of a light club member back at the islands."
"W-what are you even talking about?!" Kirei stammered.
"Oh, just rambling to myself over here," Monokuma said. "The good days...those were some fun times."
"...Oi, why aren't you making the corpse discovery announcement anyways?!" I asked furiously.
"Why should I?" Monokuma asked. "I'd have to waste time walking to the announcement room in a disclosed location just to notify that some friend of yours has been killed already. I don't want to do that crap, you do it!"
"You did it last time though," I pointed out.
"Yeah, well, I'm feeling lazy this time," Monokuma said. "There should be a flock of people over at the first dome though! You might want to go on over there! Well, when you find another soul to look at this body, then I can make the announcement! Those are the rules, after all."
With that, Monokuma left us to his dust.
"...H-he said the first dome, right?" Kirei asked. "C-c'mon! We have to tell the others!"
"Right," I said.
With that, Kirei and I sprinted towards the submarine, summoning Meowykins to take us back. We had to hurry...
Location: The Cafeteria | Time: 8:57 AM | Chapter Three | 22 DAYS LEFT
"W-why are we at the cafeteria?" Kirei asked.
The answer to her question was laid out like cards on a table. Everyone was gathered at the cafeteria, seemingly talking to each other.
"...Um, so you guys find anything?" Yoshinori asked, not knowing of our presence.
"Well, no," Noah said. "I suppose we should have looked around the second dome more, though that would have proven to be riskier for the killer."
"...Oh, Master is here," Mirai said, turning his head to me. "Did you find Takayashi!"
I nodded, holding back tears.
"Where is she?" Mirai asked hopefully. "She's alive, right?"
Kirei shook her head for me, and the mood of the cafeteria had dropped seven stories. The cold reality, was that another murder had happened. Of course, these guys didn't know that yet, but they'd have to accept it as fact.
"Someone killed again!" I screamed out.
Music Halts
…
…
"Where is her body?" Mirai asked.
Mirai..?
"I'll find out who did it," said Mirai suddenly, getting up from his seat.
"Of course, we half expected this," Noah said in a sullen tone. "I suppose we all have the intentions of singleing out the killer."
"...Yeah," I said, calming down a bit.
Don't worry Takayashi...we'll avenge you for sure. We'll find out who killed you. We did it twice before, and we can do it again!
==INVESTIGATION START==
NOAH: So, where do we start first?
BANG!
As we were preparing to start our investigation, Shougo slammed opened the cafeteria doors. Apparently he wasn't at the cafeteria with everyone else, because he was running to us with bloodshot eyes.
"Y-you guys have to follow me!" Shougo screamed. "C'mon!"
"W-what happened?" Noah stammered. "We were just about to begin-"
"There's no time for that!" he snapped, running out of the cafeteria in a frenzy.
"W-what's his problem?" I asked.
"...We should follow him anyway," Kaito sighed. "Did he find Takayashi just now?"
"That's over at the second dome though," I said.
"Then where is he taking us..?"
That question in mind, we followed Shougo, to wherever he was taking us.
Location: The Gymnasium | Time: 9:06 AM | Chapter Three | 22 DAYS LEFT
…
"Y-you guys...what happened here?" Shougo asked.
"...What the hell is going on?!" Furo screamed.
…
Those were both good questions.
Because just back there, just like ten minutes ago, we had found Takayashi's body.
But now, even though she was alive with us just moments ago, her body lay flat on the ground. Or, flat wasn't the right ward. No, her head, or "was her head," was crushed beneath the vice that was used on the first day of the gameshow.
I didn't care why the vice was even here at the gymnasium, or what the hell ever.
But I could see the cold reality in front of me.
Soundtrack: Hope's Breaking Noise
Here lay Ryoko's body. Her dead body leaned against a machine used for death.
Machines do their jobs, it appears.
*Ding, dong! Ding, dong!*
"Attention, you bastards! There's been a corpse found! We will be holding a class trial shortly, so please investigate to the best of your abilities!"
AN: I guess there isn't an investigation this chapter after all.
