Danganronpa The Twilight of Autumn Springs Academy Chapter 3: In the beginning did god create the heavens and the earth? DEADLY LIFE

I stood horrified at what I was witnessing no, what I was failing to grasp….. Junko ordered me to fetch the others who were down stairs and and others upstairs… We then returned..

"Kyyyyaaahhhh NOOO Takuma!? NOT TAKUMA HOW DID HE OF ALL PEOPLE GET KILLED!?" Yuri cried

"What the actual fuck is going on!?" Yelled Shiori

"Damn….." Kazue said in a low tone looking down in despair

"This truly is becoming a sight I am desynthesized to" Kazuki remarked "But still, is piquing my curiosity… I anticipated Hoshi's death eventually but… Takuma to be weak and commit suicide…"

"MY BROTHER AT ARMS! He died…a death such as this…. Awkwardly suspicious" Said Taichi with a smile "Now, I can go all out and avenge him…with ALLL MY POWER!"

"Such a detestable sight….killin off that oaken willow and that sunflower… My flowers, my garden of purity abolished by black sludge"

"Intriguing…" Junko mumbled to herself, her hand over her mouth deep in thought

"NOOO Takumayaki and Hoshi ROOOOLLLL YOOOO!" Naomi whined and then put on an army hat "Operation assassin team, BEGIN YO!" Naomi shouted pointing at Taichi

"WHAT THE NAME OF AGGRON IS THIS LASSIE!?" Taichi questioned exaggeratingly loudly hurting my ears in the process

"I'm hiring you!" Naomi said cheerful "So lets go YO!"

In the distance, Shiori rolled her eyes "If you want an assassin IM the one that you want to hire, still, the culprit is gonna die anyway…"

"Bun buns! Yep also you have to remember that no more than two people can be killed at the same time prior to a class trial!"

"Bun bun BUNNNSSSSS" Monobunny smiled and appeared "Well I know you all are having a BUN of funs! YAY Takuma AND HOSHI!" Monobunny cheered "Those two love birds will finally have peace…..in that they had a fun life…and so sad that this game they were in ended"

"SHUT UP!" snapped Jurou

"Aww why are you so mad!?" said Monobunny who looked very genuinely ingenuine in a fake considerate voice making fun of the fact we claim to be allies but we are just killing each other. And this time, I could no longer deny it… This case was clearly a cold blooded MURDER.

"And without further ado, here is the monobunny file 3!" Monobunny explained handing all of us a file. Unlike the other times there seems to be two reports, most likely because of there being two murders happening.

"Monobunny, I need to know: What if there are two living killers?" Taichi Asked

"Excellent question bun buns! You see, if there is a case where there are two killers, you just have to find the first blackened and not the second. As they say, first come first serve! Like carrot cake icecream"

"JUST GET LIKE OUT OF HERE ALREADY!" Ordered rather forcefully still shaking in terror Yuri.

Saluting as if it was in order, Monobunny's body flatten thin as paper and zipped away from the floor

Finding the culprit that killed Hoshi, and then Takuma… Whoever of us killed him, I will not forgive them…I will not ever once condone this murder especially

INVESTIGATION MODE

I peered inside the Monobunny file.

"There are two victim in this case. The victims are Hoshi Yamazaki the Ultimate Creative Writer and Takuma Watanabe the Ultimate Billionaire. Hoshi's cause of death was bloodloss resulting from his chest being hacked open with a sharp object and then having his heart ripped out of his chest. The victim's arms, torso and lower body were ripped apart after death, and there appears to be a mark resembling a bite on the upper right of his neck, and tears from his eyes. Takuma body seemed to have been wet, and eyes are dialated indicating he was taken by surprise and his corpse had looked as if a guitar was plunged through his chest. Other than that, Takuma's body seemed relatively healthy and had no external injuries."

This is truly a strange case. What in the world happened here..? Whats even more strange is that Hoshi and Takuma times of death wasn't written down in the monobunny files.. However, Takuma's injury.. The guitar plunged through his heart, was it really done before his death? If so maybe there was no cause to implant that into the monobunny file, but after two cases, its unlikely that the guitar not being mentioned and having no other external injuries sounds sufficiently suspicious…

The [Monobunny file 3] truth bullet uploaded to my e planner. These E-planner abilities… Also… wait I should do something… The guitar strings, they are very thin… but they are being used to suspend him… Also.. the guitar… Looking closely its… a strange guitar… A left handed guitar… Im unsure which hand Takuma wrote with, but the right hand being used to impale Takuma… Seems unlikely. And all of the strings are de attached. The head of the guitar looks sharp and blunted… and the tail of the instrument looks bent as if someone grabbed it…I then had uploaded [Guitar] and [Missing string] truth bullets to my E-Planner… Then I went towards his body and that's when she stopped me

"Like, hold it" commanded Shiori, with an ominous look in her eyes "Hayate…. As the Ultimate Gangster Leader, I cant forgive you for defeating me, home brother… but, rather than steam on that stuff on the down low, I guess we'll be cool, ONLY if you find the son of a bitch that killed them. That said, why are you approaching the body?"

"Shiori, I just need to check Takuma's body to see if he had any items on him after death…"

Shiori was quiet for a while, and then stepped aside

"Please be quick" Shiori whispered

Carefully without dropping Takuma's body down from the hanging guitar strings, I placed my hands inside of Takuma's jacket pocket and pant pockets. Inside of his gold and scarlet stripped business suit, I found… huh?

"His E-planner and his room key?"

"Hey, did you say that he had his room bey?" Asked Shiori looking confused

"Yes," Does Shiori happen to know something relevant to Takuma's room key being in his pockets?

"Its weird for a suicide victim to have this item… ya know?" Shiori said observantly

"Do you mean… his room key?" Hayate asked

"Most of my coup de graces involving assassination of CWHS, we tend to write suicide notes, leave symbolic references, and have him socialize with agents/spies… basically fabricate evidence that correlates to suicide, including depression, anxiety, guilt etc.. but having a key to your house and or anything indicating the deceased was intending to return back to their home, unless if the key itself held significance, would be suspicious"

Note to myself, never upset Shiori and never ask why she is avid homicide fangirl leader, the Room Key truth bullet was loaded inside my E- Planner

"Next is his E-Planner" I easily opened the tablet… Inside I checked that there was his E-Planner Ability… I pressed the tab container information on his E-Planner Ability. A window appeared and I read it..

"Gold Storage. Any room containing golden money belonging to you, will automatically locked. These rooms can only be unlocked by your E-Planner's infra-red laser or when you die.."

! Gold storage….. allows Takuma to contain money in any room and lock it? But how and why in the world would this be relevant?" [Takuma's E-Planner Ability] labeled truth bullet loaded into my E-Planner.

As far as I am aware of, there is nothing that seems suspicious except….

"SHIORI… what are you doing?" I expelled in emphasis,

Shiori was feeling Takuma's body. Prodding and poking all over his body and had spread out a kit of tools, thermometers, and various equipment

Shiori turned to me looking unemotionally "Im performing an autopsy?"

"An Autopsy?"
"Um…yeah?" Shiori nodded "Why else would I be touching Takuma?"

"Why have you not done this before?"

"Before my ultimate talent wasn't revealed but now that Kazuki outed me, I can use my talent to also perform an autopsy on bodies…"

First an assassin now a forensic scientist?

"while I'm busy, could please leave me alone… Or ELSE"

Taking heed to her threat I quickly left Shiori alone, leaving the music room and respectfully shutting the door silently. There are some things that need to be figured out more or less.. The golden coins… Yuri also should be spoken with in spite of her horror.. If I am correct,

Determination coursed through me to solve this case, yet my gut could not help but feel a grappling around it.. A cancerous trepidation sense grew in great dolor as I approached the to the third floor. Finally I arrived to the monastery.

Entering the library I bumped literally into something or rather someone…

"Oi!" Blaring voice of Taichi sliced through my ears as if his lungs were iron locomotives.

"Hayate I have been awaiting you.!"Taichi blaring with the edge of his vocal blade pointing his sword directly to my throat

"I am sorry" I said gasping "Please forgive my rudeness!" I said in panic

"Youth I need to seize you and deliver thee to the training grounds of darkness!"

Forced against my own will Taichi dragged me to the first floor… I do not know what he wants me to look at, however its unlikely that he is kidding. For all of his adrienaline fueled antics, he is the type to take things seriously when necessary.

"While me and Shiori was watching Jurou, I had to depart to urinate.. And then once finished, I left but saw the Gymnasium. And it was a battle zone."

I walk inside the gym, and surprisingly Taichi was not wrong. Scratch marks were all..over the gym.. and everything was a large mess. Its as if someone was fighting…a struggle..but…why was it.. that there was two streaks of blood shooting in opposite directions… the [Signs of Struggle in Gym] and [Blood Streaks] appeared in the form of truth bullets and I uploaded them on my E-Planner. This makes some things to be questioned. First if there was a sign of a struggle in the gym as well as blood, why was it that Takuma's body was found in the music room.. it also does not explain why he was wet and warm too. Its frustrating.. but then something else caught my attention.

"Taichi, can you tell me, what this is?"

"That message!? Ohahahahha! Young esper, YOU ARE BAD AT SIGHT! It's a strange message but..its written in BLOOD!? And it reads as 'B:H20 = ABT'?"

"A dying message… does that mean that someone wrote this as they died? But Takuma's body was found in the music room while Hoshi's body was in the sanctuary chapel…?" Something tells me that the gym has a more important role than the music room itself.

The [Dying Message in the Gym] bullet was uploaded in my E-Planner. Well it would seem that's it for the gym. But now I should probably return to the music room to get an updated autopsy report from Shiori.

"Junko, where is Shiori?"

"About TIME!" Junko complained "You took your sweet time HOPEFULLY Investigating relevant details that obviously Shiori left! She went to the third floor to investigate the third floor…"

"HAHHAHAHHAHHAHA…You, pure child….kyahaha…owww" Groaned Jurou, who was trying to be uplifting.. but his pain from having his left hand cut was painful.

"Hayate YO! OOOh I miss Takoyaki BEAR!" Naomi cried "I wonder why did he have to leave?"

"It was the damn culprit's fault…" I said slowly with a controlled temper

"I wonder though, yo….. why couldn't we leave?"

"Yeah," Junko replied "I was unable to leave my room… and around the time, a letter was placed under my door. It was written in a nice, but oddly shiny and warm gold substance… "

"Wait! Now that I remember, I saw Takuma last when he was in the glass room… but I also went to the glass room before night time yo and there was some molten gold… that I could not remove…or use…"

"Molten…gold? That is a first…." I said to myself. I uploaded the [Naomi's Account], [Molten Gold], and [Locked Doors Anomaly] truth bullets into my E-Planner.

I also looked at Takuma's body one more time… These flies or gnats, are beginning to resemble now that I am looking closely, more like mosquitos…. Or locusts, or maybe both? But it reminds me of the motive… the plagues….the plagues.. According to Kazuki there was becoming blood, 2:Frog infestation, 3:Scorpions….4:Locust/insects But if that's the case, they must be using the motives as an imitation murder. So whoever killed them must be religiously devout, which would indicate that Takuma may have been killed first and Hoshi second. [The 10 Plague Motives] truth bullet loaded into my E-Planner.

Also, I noticed something odd… there were a bunch of amplifiers attached to one another. These music amplifiers, why would these things be connected like this? And there is a remote control… but it was broken… its like a microphone of some kind… I added the [Amplifiers] and [Remote Control] truth bullets into my E-Planner.

I believe that this is probably all that I can do here… Takuma…If there was only more that I could do for you and Hoshi…. I will make the culprit pay….

"Master"

Huh? I could swore that I heard a voice say master- but cuts off. It could just be stress… Anyway there is no more reason for me to be in the music room. Paying my respects and saying my farewells to the others, I went to the Monastery Library.

Inside the library… I saw a tipped over trash can. I walked to the trash can to place it right side up, when I checked inside the trash can. There was a small bottle of anesthetic? I wonder where it came from? The handwriting was hand written and a note claimed that the usage quantity was two. But I wonder what was its purpose… [Bottle of Anesthetics] was added into my E-Planner as a truth bullet. Then I finally went inside… stomaching myself for Hoshi's body.

Inside Kazue was still unconscious from seeing Hoshi's body.. the vomit from me and Hikaru was not cleaned up yet… and Yuri was still covered in blood much to her annoyance. Everyone was looking furious… But it was not only at Kazuki who was investigating the heart in the lamp.. but Shiori who was investigating the body. I believe that she noticed that I was here and walked to me.

"I will not forgive…..im sorry but I cannot forgive the culprit…." Shiori cried "I finished my autopsy report." Sais Shiori regaining her composure "Takuma's and Hoshi's cause of deaths are tricky to follow. For Hoshi his heart was ripped out. Its likely that the dismembering happened after death, but his death was slow and painful. His Time of death was less than 24 hours ago while Takuma's cause of death had to have been something internal. I cannot tell what time Takuma died but his body was…warm..and wet which is weird…. His body definitely looks fresh compared to Hoshi, who's body is not that decomposed but colder than Takumas. But the mosquitos I find most interesting. They were swarming around eating Takuma's flesh albeit weakly. But they seemed to have been attracted to some kind of perfume… I have the bottle with me it was found on the floor. Oh one last thing… I found something on Hoshi's body. It was a small wireless microphone on his lips and on Takuma I found what I presume to be ear buds. His death was instant"

This amount of information was amazing. The [Shiori's Autopsy Report], [Perfume Bottle], Ear Buds], and [Small Microphone] Truth Bullets were loaded onto my E-Planner.

"Yuri can you please tell me-"

"Hayate…could you please DIE!?" Yuri asked angrily

"Hey! Whats wrong with you? I didn't do anything wrong to you so what gotten into you!?"

"Why don't you ask the gangster and sociopath who are accusing me of murder!?"

Immediately I gave Shiori and Kazuki a look of shock and disgust.

Shiori sighed "Vampire fan girl covered in blood, plus bite mark, equals like a suspicious Yuri. No offense"

"And this girl… the bloody villager girl is covered in blood and the heart is also covered in blood in this gold lamp"

"Just because she is covered in blood does not make her a killer! It may make her susupicious but this is too obvious!"

"Wasn't the main strategy in Keiko's trial was to make use of obvious tropes? After two murders, we must rule out all possibilities" Kazuki stated coldy

Shiori looked a bit sad at Yuri but shifted to her gangster mode and said "If you aren't the killa, don't wimp out.. Peace…"

Shiori said as she left the sanctuary.

"YOU FrEAKING TRAITORS!" Screamed Yuri as she broke down into a tear filled water resort

"First Kazue wants to meet me in the animal ranch, then I am locked out of my room now… NOW…I go to bed in the ranch, covered in fucking BLOOD and see Hoshi turned to a crosss!"

"wait KAZUE!?"

"Duh! She wrote me a note and went then this huh! All of you…please stop don't betray me….no Imm URAGH!"

After having a panic attack Yuri ran out much to the amusement of Kazuki who was slapped by Hikaru with that poker face of hers.

Well its time to begin the analysis here. The confessional booth… is destroyed… It looks as if whoever did this was trying to stop it from changing forms…which would make more sense than leaving it a bloody literal mess. Also… I found…two needles…. One near the lamp and the other near the body. Which is a little strange…. What were the needles for? I think maybe the anesthesia? So Its clear now what is happening….. the [Yuri's Account] [Needles found in Monastery] was uploaded as truth bullets as well as the [Heart Inside the Gold Lamp] and [Scorpions] truth bullets.

I looked below near the destroyed confessional booth. And there was a message written in blood. Although smeared, it looked a little more fresh and I read "ABF" This is similar to the message in the gym and the handwriting matched…. I look at Hoshi and cried….. then the [Dying Message in Monastery] truth bullet Was loaded into my E-Planner. Finally I leave determined to face their killer.

I walked finally to check the animal ranch. And what I found in here was a whole box of insects, scorpions missing. I am guessing that the scorpions may have been used for the imitation murder. And then a Haybed. It was bloody.. If Yuri was asleep was thee blood splashed on her? Then I found another needle. Maybe… she was knocked out…and then she was splashed with blood. I then saw a small door in the back.. it was cold and slightly opened and then I went inside.. and saw…this was a cooler.. and inside of it was… a watch made of gold and emerald clock.. but whats a watch doing inside here? I added the [Bloody Haybed], [Needle found in the animal ranch], [Hidden cooler/Bio lab] and the [Watch inside the cooler] as truth bullets and then I added [Jurou's Account] into the truth bullets explaining what happened. As that happened..

"Bun, bun boooonnssss… As tis this trial of two fallen friends lovers, and whatever the hell they were, its time for the bun fun class trial;! Please make your way to the trial ground in the Chamber of Dawnshade and Dusklight"

I still was trembling with un told fury and abrasion of this cruel act. I went back to the Sanctuary to awaken Kazue and we all traveled to the chamber of dawnshade and dusklight. We all make here in the elevator area. None of us could say anything. Finally Yuri was clean from the blood. And we were mute

"One of you monsters killed HOSHI HOSHI OF ALL PEOPLE WHAT THE FreAK!?" Yuri shouted crying

"Yeah YO that was freaking low my unrad unbro!" Naomi said visibly disjusted

"Well, we must naught yield in despair" Taichi replied

"AHAHHAHHA and they fucking cut off my hand… YURI!"

"What?"

"SHUT THE FUCKING HELL UP!" Junko yelled

And again we are fightning… with every glimpse of hope, its extinguished by a heartless breeze of despair. We all knew this was the outcome. And quiet and wordless we entered the elevator. No one said a word to each other. And Yuri most of all was being the most distant of them all.

Monobunny was here waiting for us all

"Hiya buddies! You are all here! YYYAYYYY"

We were still adjusting to Moe's execution, but this takes the entire gore iced cake…. Moe's death portrait was two mars symbols arranged and resized to resemble the Venus symbol. Hoshi's was a type writer's X but also with a gunshot hole on each end.. and Takuma's were two dollar symbols in the form of an X. The trial grounds this time was the inside of a church… and stained glass windows… We all went to our assigned seats

Hoshi Yamazaki the Ultimate Creative Writer….. He was sweet and timid but had a darkside towards evil doers. Although he might not have trusted us and even questioned our motives. He still was never mean and maintained a genuinely kind relationship with us for the most part.. The weakest and smallest….killed in the most brutal fashion, merciless

And Takuma Watanade…The Ultimate Billionaire He was the piller of strength. Despite being filthy rich his mind and body of pure justice never wavered. Strict, dominate, calm, and aloofly funny… How could anyone murder this powerful being? Inside and outside he was a powerhouse

I will not forgive

I will not forget

Even if I remain in a state of twilight

I can not allow this crime, sunsetting into an unpunished felony

So in the zone

When light and dark meet

Where hope and despair unite

And evolve into this class trial!
