Hey guys! Sorry, I was busy, hence the hiatus. A history project took lot of my time as we got lots of problem with it. It was a video about the Conquest War, when Montcalm and Wolfe die. I was Montcalm. :P Anyway, do you, people who live in USA, for the ones who do, learnt about this fight in school? Did you learnt anything about the New-France/Province of Quebec in history class? Because some of your history is laced with ours (we're seeing how we influenced your independance in my history class today). I just always wondered.

Back on the topic. Sorry, hiatus, busy, writer's block. Made a longer chapter to make up for it. Got inspiration the end with Agatha Christie's book 'Ten little Niggers' (akward name, but really good book with a somewhat boring start. The nigger in the title s to a little song in he book. It is one of my French obligatory books to read) It has a real great enigma and ending. The solution to the enigma is just brilliant.

Anyway, I hope my writer's block is gone for at least a while. Now, I shall go tl sleep (what I'm supposed to do) after delivering you that chapter. Tomorrow, I'll start writing the next chappy.

Oh! I really want your commentary on this chapter. Did it surprised you or not? Did you like it? Thank you really much! Please, try not forget! :P

See you (hopefully) soon!

"Eh! You look gloomier than when we left..." stated Neru, frowning as he and Shuya entered, transporting a ladder.

"Jin's dead. Stabbed." muttered Ryugo, kneeling beside Ivyan to inspect his body.

"Oh..."

A silence installed itself, before the duo (noisily) installed the ladder to reach the knife. Shuuya climbed it, retrieving the knife before sliding off the ladder.

"It's one of the kitchen's knife... The missing one." muttered Neru as Shuuya handed him the knife.

"Whoever threw it had skills, or confidence... Only one knife, only one chance. If he or she could have missed, and the chandelier's rope isn't really an easy target..." sighed Ryugo.

"Hey, come look at this!" shouted Keita, who was investigating the kitchen. The trio hurried into the room, to see Keita holding a little bottle. "I found this in the fridge... It's some sleeping medicine."

"It would explain why everybody was so tired yesterday..." sighed Shuuya as Neru nodded.

"And why I forgot to check the knives! The culprit must have poured the medicine in our glass, so he would be able to take a knife without being noticed..."

"Anyone noticed someone who wasn't looking sleepy?" wondered Ryugo.

Keita nodded, frowning as he placed down the bottle on the table. "Ivyan seemed perfectly fine after... Liz, too."

"If I remember well, Ivyan helped me carrying the food to the table... He brought the drinks..." mumbled Neru, shaking his head. "I should really bring those drinks myself, now... Each time someone helps me with those, someone dies..."


"The wall... Have a bump into it, like if someone ran right into it." stated Chitose, her fingers tracing the bump mark.

"Maybe... Ivyan saw Jin's death and ran away, but bump into the wall?" suggested Liz, frowning.

"Or maybe it was the killer, who ran after Ivyan... Or Ivyan was the killer and ran after the witness, before losing him or her and being squished by that chandelier..." guessed Daichi, sighing. "I can't... Why would someone kill Jin? He was our leader, somehow!"

"That's exactly why he was the target. Kill the leader to disrupt the order... The followers won't know what to do." muttered Chitose, before kneeling beside Shido. "Found anything?"

"It's one of the kitchen knives, no doubt... He must likely suffered a fight with the culprit before being fataly stabbed.."

"The Class Trial will soon begin. Head toward the elevator." said Monokuma as Chitose groaned.

"I just hope we will be able to find the culprit..." sighed Liz as they exited the room.


A depressed atmosphere was floating as the elevator descended. Nobody talked: the loss of two of their friend was too much for them... With th fact that they knew that someone among them killed them. Someone who would either die, or kill them all.

The doors opened on the trial's court, and everyone headed to their places.

"Let the trial begins! Upupupu!" cheered Monokuma, smiling widely.

During three minutes, a complete silence had fell upon the unwilling participants. Nobody talked, or move. We could hear their nervous breathing.

"Shall we begin by the murder weapon?" wondered Monokuma, curious about the reason of their silence.

"Usually, it was Jin who began every trial... By asking what was the murder weapon..." sighed Daichi, shaking his head. "And we shall finish this trial, victorious, in his honor, and in Ivyan's, and for everyone who died."

"The murder weapons were the knives. Jin was stabbed without a fight, while Ivyan was crushed by the chandelier, which rope had been cut by the second missing knife." mumbled Neru.

"You've got that wrong!" shouted Shido, while Neru jumped in surprise. "The bruise and cuts Jin received proved that he died while fighting."

"About the knives... Neru was supposed to watch over them, while he was locked in the kitchen..." began Liz.

"He was attacked, but saved by the chair blocking the door on his side." continued Shuuya.

"I was really tired, so I forgot, actually, we all forgot to check them before locking me in. The morning, I checked and two were missing." finished Neru.

"We found the reason why everybody forgot and hurried to sleep: sleep medicine was hidden in the fridge." stated Keita. "Only two people didn't seemed so tired last night: Ivyan and Liz."

"Moreover, it's Ivyan who brought the drinks for lunch, so she could easily had put the medicine in them." added Ryugo.

"But what about the motive? With what motive would Liz do this?" wondered Chitose as the magician sighed. "Boredom, was it?"

"There was also another, but not everyone went to check it out, as some kept sleeping. Monokuma was bored after some time, too, as nothing seemed to happen. So he gave a second motive." began Keita, yawning.

"Why didn't you tell it to us?" wondered Daichi.

"We wanted to make sure no one would fall in the trap... And the suspect list just got shorter." replied Liz.

Chitose crossed her arms, huffing as she rolled her eyes. "What was the motive?"

"Greed." simply answered Keita. "Lots of money trapped into a glass box, at the view of everyone in a room..."

"Only me, Liz, Shido, Keita and Ivyan knew of it." stated Ryugo shaking his head. "Assuming the motive is the money, it's most likely on of us."

"Isn't it interesting that Ivyan is part of this list, but not Jin?" wondered Chitose. "Maybe there is a link?"

"Are you saying that Ivyan would have killed Jin, then ran away and accidently throw the second knife on the chandelier rope, then kill himself?" replied Ryugo. "The culprit took two knives, most likely purposely. Maybe it was because he or she intend to kill two people or to be sure to have a second weapon in case he or she would miss the chandelier's rope. Or, to some extent, having a second weapon if he or she lost the first."

"So, if we reconstituate... Ivyan went put some sleeping medicine in our drinks to make us sleepy, so we would go right to our rooms. Then, Ivyan took two knives, before we lock up Neru. Later in the night, the culprit tried kill him, but failed as he couldn't go pass the door. He then opted for Jin, the leader, which would probably cloud our eficiency, without him to lead us... Ivyan then killed him." said Daichi, his reasoning making sense.

"I don't understand... If it's Ivyan who put the medicine in the drinks and killed Jin, why did he died?" wondered Shuuya.

"Maybe he killed himself?" suggested Keita.

"The knife was thrown from the stairs, he couldn't have run under the chandelier in time..." reminded Ryugo as Keita sighed.

"Who could have thrown it?"

"With the fact that Jin died before Ivyan in mind, we can say that the culprit is a gifted thrower, cutting the rope in only one precise throw." reasoned Ryugo.

"Then, if it is someone else who killed Ivyan..." began Chitose, before being interrupted by Liz.

"And Jin! Ivyan may had been gone to the bathroom and saw the murder, then trying to run away, without planifying anything!"

"How could the culprit have drugged us?" continued the pink-haired girl.

"Way beforehand..." whispered Neru, surprising everyone. "The person in charge of the kitchen the night before my turn could easily had put the medicine in the orange juice, which we all drank, apart from Liz and Ivyan, who drank Apple juice."

"But who was in the kitchen then?" wondered Daichi.

"It was Keita's turn." whispered Shido, as all stares turned to him.

"Why are you staring at me?" innocently wondered the cosplayer.

"Because you are a major suspect in the case. If I remember well, you have a fetish for our little illusionist over there. And you seemed to dislike Neru for his complicity with her, so you tried to eliminate him. But you were stopped by the chair blocking the door, and you opted for Jin, the leader, to create havoc in our organization." stated Ryugo. "After, Ivyan, going to the washroom, heard some noise and saw Jin, dead, and Keita, standing beside. Ivyan ran away, and Keita used the second knife he took in case of such a situation and threw it, successfully cutting the rope of the chandelier, which fell on Ivyan."

"I seriously doubt my brother could have done such a thing." sighed Chitose.

"Indeedly." agreed Shido, to everyone's surprise. "Keita, even with extreme luck, would never had been able to cut that rope, no offense. I remember when we played a mini-tournament, me, Chitose and Keita. Keita had a poor, or, horribly terrible aim, unlike the perfect one of Chitose."

"Are you blaming me now? Because I have a good aim?"

"Only you here, could have got it one-shot."

"Except Ryugo, probably. And how would she have put he medicine in the drinks?" replied Keita.

"Monokuma.. Is... Two culprit... Who killed two different people.. possible?" wondered Shuuya, nervous.

"Upupu! It is indeedly possible, and they would be able to get if not found! If only one is found, the other could leave, as he wouldn't had been found out!"

"Did they... asked you, or understood that by themselves?"

"Upupu! I fear I can't answer!"

"Chitose, you didn't kill Ivyan, right?" wondered Daichi. He seemed on the verge of cracking, as he couldn't, wouldn't just imagine Chitose killing someone. He needed her to help him pass through this, to maintain his mental equilibria, to prevent it from breaking... She couldn't leave him, in any way!

"When Ivyan ran... He saw Chitose int the other hallway, a knife in hand. Ivyan then ran toward the doors and Chitose threw the knife, resulting in the chandelier falling on him." finished Liz. "That would save at least one of them, or even both siblings, because this is what you two are, right?"

"Twins." Keita retorted bitterly, a scowl distorting his normally, handsome, smiling face.

"Time for the votes!" sing-sang Monokuma as Daichi shook his head, refusing to do so.

"We can still discuss, it must be a wrong conclusion!"

"I'm sorry Daichi... But it all works. Everything points them." gently answered Neru, a small, sad smile gracing his lips.

"Enter your votes!"

"But how can we vote for two culprits?" wondered Shuuya.

"Upupu, who knows?"
