Reimu: Now then...
(I tried investigating various people's movements...)
(but with this much free time, I don't know what to do...)
...No, this is no time to be saying that.
I have to collect as much information as possible...
(......Hm?)
Reimu, do you have a moment?
Reimu: (This voice is...)
Nazrin: I'm coming in.
Reimu: It's Nazrin.
...Do you need something?
Nazrin: Yes, I need to talk to you.
I want you to help me investigate something.
Reimu: Investigate...?
Nazrin: There's something that's bothering me.
I want to go investigate, but I thought it would be dangerous to take action alone.
I would be thankful if you would help me...
Reimu: Okay, but what are you going to investigate?
Nazrin: As a result of my investigations, I've realized something.
The first case, Aya Shameimaru's murder case...
There are still several unsolved mysteries about it.
I want to investigate those.
Reimu: Unsolved mysteries...?
Nazrin: It's true that case has been solved.
We found the culprit, and the circumstances of her actions have been revealed.
But, the more I investigated that case...
...the more I felt something was wrong.
I feel like we missed something very important.
Reimu: ......
Nazrin: I haven't found out exactly what it is...
but I thought I should start by investigating what I can.
I'm sure the information would be helpful to you too. Would you help me?
Reimu: If that's the case, I'll happily help you.
Nazrin: Thanks, you're a great help.
Then, let's start our investigation immediately.
Reimu: [Moved from the room with Nazrin.]
Reimu: So, what are we going to investigate, specifically?
Nazrin: I think you know this already, since we investigated the "Perfume" and "Deodorant"...
My investigation ability has limitations.
Reimu: ...You mean the fact that you can only know the approximate location?
Nazrin: Yes, that's correct.
Thinking about it now, I feel my investigation during the first case was inadequate.
Reimu: You might've overlooked some evidence or facts.
Nazrin: I think there could be new discoveries if I investigate again.
Reimu: So you're going to investigate the scene of the crime?
Nazrin: No, it's somewhere else.
I have an idea.
Reimu: This is...
...The Trash Room?
Was this related to the first case?
Nazrin: No, our destination is here.
Reimu: ...The Staff Room?
Nazrin: Yes.
When we investigated the Staff Room, there was something that bothered me.
Yes, if it was a place for managing the murder game, it was clearly strange for it to not have that facility.
That's what I want to investigate this time.
Reimu: That facility?
Nazrin: You'll understand when we get there.
Yukari: Oh, hello.
Nazrin-san, do you need something from this place?
Nazrin: Yes, there's something I want you to do for me.
I want you to let us investigate the room where you keep the bodies.
Yukari: ...!
Reimu: Huh...
Yukari: ...Why did you think we have a place for storing the bodies here?
Nazrin: A foolish question.
You said so yourself, that the dead would be considered "objects" as per the rules.
Yukari: As a rule, the dead will be considered "objects" instead of players...
Nazrin: If so, the bodies are important pieces of evidence.
In a game where we battle with debates based on evidence, there's no way the game managers would dispose of evidence.
Which means the bodies would be stored somewhere.
For example, in a place like the Staff Room where the players don't usually go.
...Am I wrong?
Yukari: ...I see.
That was a pretty sharp deduction.
Nazrin: So, would you let us investigate?
Yukari: Of course you can go investigate.
It's our policy to allow you to freely investigate the game area.
But...
The Mortuary is located in a separate space, so you can't go there unless I take you.
So I have to go with you. Is that okay?
Reimu: Only the Mortuary is in a separate place?
Nazrin: ...Why did you construct it to be so annoying?
Yukari: It's to prevent players from using the bodies in their tricks.
I'm not a good person, and since I'm the director of this game, I don't have the right to talk about morals.
But...
I have enough discernment to put a stop to tricks that harm the dignity of the dead.
Reimu: ......
Yukari: Now, shall we go?
Reimu: (After following Yukari through the gap...)
(we entered a strange room without any exits.)
(Medicines were lined up in the cabinets, and innumerable locker-like equipment were placed along the wall.)
This is... the Mortuary?
Nazrin: I-It's really cold...
Yukari: If you want to investigate, go ahead.
Nazrin: Yes... This isn't a place we should stay at too long.
Reimu: So, what are you going to investigate?
Nazrin: ...During the first case, there was a piece of evidence that remained unaccounted for until the very end.
Do you know what that is?
Reimu: ...Was there such a thing?
Nazrin: It's "Aya Shameimaru's Notebook."
Nazrin: What?
Reimu: Have you found Aya's notebook?
Nazrin: Notebook...?
Shameimaru's notebook was taken away from her.
Her notebook was found afterwards, but most of the pages had been ripped out.
Mokou: Most of its pages are ripped out...!
Nazrin: The evidence Shameimaru collected have been disposed of.
Remilia thought the culprit got rid of it...
Aya's notebook contained a lot of information, so it was natural for her to think the notebook was a dangerous piece of evidence.
But, that theory should be incorrect.
We checked the number of Medals each player had, and no one used the Trash Room.
Sakuya: ...I want to confirm the number of Medals each person currently possesses.
Marisa: The number of Medals?
Reimu: ...Huh?
Then, where did the contents of the notebook go?
If it wasn't disposed of, you should've found it with your dowsing, right?
Nazrin: Yes, that should've been the case.
Because the notebook the culprit destroyed was clearly evidence that's related to the case.
But, the contents of the notebook wasn't found by my dowsing...
Reimu: What does that mean?
Nazrin: ...I have an explanation.
Yuugi was investigating with me the entire time, right?
Yuugi: First, there're several "Ultimate Weapons" left at the scene.
Nazrin: The "Master Key"...
and the "Gold-coated Model Sword."
I said this before, but my investigation ability has limitations.
Reimu: You can only know the approximate location of the piece of evidence.
Nazrin: That means...
If someone is always in the same room as me, she can trick my dowsing.
And it won't be unnatural for her to ask about the specifics of my ability if she was investigating with me.
Reimu: Huh...
You mean...
Nazrin: Yes, that's what it means.
I believe Yuugi Hoshiguma was carrying around the ripped notebook.
Reimu: You mean she was hiding that piece of evidence right next to you while you were investigating?
Nazrin: She was hiding it right under my nose.
Although it paid off for her, I think it was an extremely risky action.
Reimu: ...That must've taken guts.
Nazrin: But, it does seem possible, right?
Reimu: In other words...
Yuugi might still have the contents of the notebook.
Nazrin: Yes, that's the goal of this investigation.
The final pieces of information Shameimaru collected should be useful if we could get it back.
Then, let's start our investigation.
Reimu: ...Yeah.
......
Nazrin: Ah, Reimu. I'll be the one who investigates the bodies.
Reimu: Huh...
Nazrin: I'm a youkai, so I don't think anything about handling bodies.
There's no need for you to psychologically strain yourself. I don't mind, so wait there.
Reimu: (Saying that, Nazrin went over to where the bodies were stored...)
(pulled out the body's storage locker from the wall, and started investigating.)
Nazrin: Yuugi...
...Please excuse me.
Reimu: (Nazrin spent a few moments frisking the body...)
(and came back with several blood-stained pieces of paper.)
Nazrin: Found them. They're dirty, but it looks like we can read them.
Reimu: (Took the bundle of paper she handed to me.)
This is the contents of Aya's notebook...
It's the final information Aya left behind.
(The pages were crammed with neat handwriting, with tabs stuck between them, and countless short notes were jotted down...)
(Every part of it was filled with Aya's soul.)
(When I closed my eyes and put them close to my face...)
(they nostalgically smelled a little like Aya.)
Nazrin: ...I'll have you tell me the information, but you should keep those.
It should become useful in some way.
Reimu: Nazrin.
Thank you.
Nazrin: ...Yeah.
[Ammunition Get!] "Reporter Badge" was recorded on your notebook. If I don't have this, no one will acknowledge me as a reporter.
[Ammunition Get!] "Fire Alarm Malfunction" was recorded on your notebook. On the game's first day, when each player was being taken to their rooms, the fire alarm malfunctioned. It is a type of alarm that reacts to heat and smoke. Only Sakuya Izayoi, Tewi Inaba, and Seiga Kaku knew about the alarm's location and function. It is thought to be a machine failure, but the real cause is unknown.
[Ammunition Get!] "Solid Fuel Block" was recorded on your notebook. Nazrin found it with her "Super duper high school dowser." It is one of the game items from the Warehouse, a solid fuel block used for lighting fires. It appears to be related to the Fire Alarm Malfunction. At first glance, it looks like a rice cake, and you would not know it is a solid fuel block.
[Ammunition Get!] "Satori Komeiji's Testimony" was recorded on your notebook. Satori Komeiji has both "Ultimate Weapons," Perfume and Deodorant, in her possession.
[Ammunition Get!] "Sakuya Izayoi's Right Hand" was recorded on your notebook. Sakuya Izayoi hurt her right hand very badly. According to Reimu Hakurei's testimony, it's possible that it is not her dominant hand.
[Ammunition Get!] "Cheaply made Door" was recorded on your notebook. The doors of the rooms are made of cheap material, and outside sounds can easily be heard.
[Ammunition Get!] "Trash Room" was recorded on your notebook. A highly effective place to get rid of trash. It is also possible to dispose of "Ultimate Weapons." To use the Trash Room, one must use all Medals in their possession. Only one person may use the room at a time. While in use, the room will be locked.
[Ammunition Get!] "DDS Room" was recorded on your notebook. A place where one can reobtain "Ultimate Weapons" that have become unusable. But they cannot be redistributed until they become unusable. To use this facility, one must play Russian Roulette and win. After each use, the number of loaded bullets will increase by one. Only one person may use the room at a time. While in use, the room will be locked.
[Ammunition Get!] "Weapons List" was recorded on your notebook. A note with all the names of the "Ultimate Weapons" listed. Includes Seiga Kaku's signature. It is written with magnificent calligraphy.
[Ammunition Get!] "Bloodstains in the Kitchen" was recorded on your notebook. Bloodstains found in the kitchen on the second day. There is a lot of blood, but it is unknown whose it is.
[Ammunition Get!] "Receipt from the Bar" was recorded on your notebook. Receipt of the two people who were drinking at the Bar on the night of the second day. It is written with magnificent calligraphy. It was forced onto you by Seiga Kaku on the morning of the third day. Yuugi Hoshiguma used up all the Medals in her possession, and borrowed some from Mamizou Futatsuiwa, but it seems she used up all her borrowed Medals for sake as well.
[Ammunition Get!] "Basketball Point Chart" was recorded on your notebook. The point chart from the game of basketball at the Gymnasium on the night of the second day. It is written with magnificent calligraphy. It was forced onto you by Seiga Kaku on the morning of the third day. Cirno and Rumia played by themselves at the Gymnasium, so this is the scores of their 1 vs 1 mini game. Rumia seemed to have overwhelmingly won against Cirno.
[Ammunition Get!] "Board Game Point Chart" was recorded on your notebook. The point chart from the board game at the Cafeteria on the night of the second day. It is written with magnificent calligraphy. It was forced onto you by Seiga Kaku on the morning of the third day. Marisa Kirisame won first place with an overwhelming amount of points. Fujiwara no Mokou won second place with strategic play. Remilia Scarlet barely won third place. Sanae Kochiya fell to last place in the final stages after her strategy for a turnaround backfired.
[Ammunition Get!] "Mahjong Point Chart" was recorded on your notebook. The point chart from the game of mahjong at the Lounge Room on the night of the second day. It is written with magnificent calligraphy. It was forced onto you by Seiga Kaku on the morning of the third day. Satori Komeiji appears to have continuously won, and profited greatly. The balance of Seiga Kaku and Nazrin was about +/- 0. Tewi Inaba was the only one who lost out.
[Ammunition Get!] "Koishi Komeiji's Message" was recorded on your notebook. Koishi Komeiji's third message, which was found on the third day. According to Satori Komeiji, somebody imitated Koishi Komeiji's handwriting to forge this message.
Nazrin: Thanks for coming with me.
Reimu: Same. I'm glad you invited me.
We gained some valuable information too.
Nazrin: Shameimaru's notebook, huh.
At first glance, it looks like the things written there are old information...
but during the last Class Trial, the video footage she left was crucial.
These may unexpectedly become helpful too.
Reimu: ...I hope so.
Nazrin: Then, I'll excuse myself...
Reimu: Okay.
Nazrin: ...Oh, did you drop something?
Reimu: Hm?
(Down by my feet, I saw that several players' ability cards were scattered.)
Oops...
...Were these put between the pages of Aya's notebook?
(I crouched down, and picked up the cards by my feet...)
...Huh?
Nazrin: What's the matter?
Reimu: ...That's strange.
Was Yuugi's card always like this?
Nazrin: Yuugi Hoshiguma's card...?
Reimu: (I picked up one card.)
(The card that originally had her "Super duper high school talent" written on it...)
(was changed to something I didn't recognize.)
"Yuugi Hoshiguma's Last Word"...
"When a person becomes a suspect, that person's testimony loses its ability to testify."
Is this about Yuugi's plan to get through the Class Trial by investigating the weapon, even though she was the culprit...?
Nazrin: ...?
...W-What are you saying?
Reimu: Look at this.
See, the words on the card are different.
Nazrin: It looks the same to me...
...What's different about it?
Reimu: Huh...
...Look, the words on the card are different.
Nazrin: ......
......But it doesn't look like anything has changed.
Reimu: Huh...
...That's strange.
(I took the card from Nazrin, and looked at it closely again.)
(The words written there...)
(were definitely changed to something I didn't recognize.)
...You can't see it, Nazrin?
Nazrin: Hm...
So you mean you can see different words on the card?
Reimu: Yeah.
Nazrin: Hmm...
Is Yuugi's card the only one that changed?
Reimu: I think so...
Nazrin: ...You said, "Last Word," right?
If that's the case, I feel like there should be another card that changed...
Reimu: Ah...
Aya's card...?
(I hurriedly took out Aya's card.)
(And...)
(These words were changed to something I didn't recognize as well.)
"Aya Shameimaru's Last Word"
"It proves that the players' "Talents" will affect electronic devices, such as cameras"...
Nazrin: That's what it says?
It only looks like a regular ability card to me...
Reimu: What's going on?
Nazrin: Hm...
It's just a hypothesis, but perhaps it has something to do with your ability?
Reimu: Huh...
Nazrin: Your "Super duper high school talent" was unknown, right?
Reimu: You mean I have the ability to get information from the ability cards of dead players?
Nazrin: It's highly possible that is your ability, or part of your ability.
Reimu: I wanted an ability that's easier to use.
It's only useful after somebody dies...
Nazrin: It isn't certain that's all to your ability.
Reimu: What?
Nazrin: The traits of each player is reflected in their "Super duper high school talent"...
but your trait isn't about seeing the messages of the dead, right?
Reimu: ...That's true.
Nazrin: I think being able to see different words on the cards is just the starting point of your ability.
Probably, the true nature of your ability is something else.
Reimu: I see... That does seem possible.
(An ability that lets me see the nature of the players...)
(My "Super duper high school talent," what could it be?)
Nazrin: ...For now, let's record the information from those "Last Words."
Reimu: Yeah.
[Ammunition Get!] "Yuugi Hoshiguma's Last Word" was recorded. Her final tactics during the Trial. It was a way of battling that took advantage of the rule, "When a person becomes a suspect, that person's testimony loses its ability to testify."
[Ammunition Get!] "Aya Shameimaru's Last Word" was recorded. The final video footage that Aya Shameimaru left. It proves that the players' "Talents" will affect electronic devices, such as cameras. Also, it may contain several more important pieces of information.
Reimu: ...I should tell this to everybody else too, right?
Nazrin: Yes, let's tell them when we gather in the Cafeteria for our meal.
...It's about time for dinner.
Sakuya: Oh, so you two were here.
We have finished preparations for dinner, so please come to the Cafeteria.
Nazrin: Speak of the devil.
Reimu: [Moved to the Cafeteria.]
Mamizou: Hmm...
"Last Word," huh...
Tewi: Something weird has come up again.
Sanae: That's Reimu-san's ability?
Satori: It's an ability that lets you use the testimonies of the dead as weapons.
Marisa: Hm...?
...That ability doesn't seem very Reimu-like.
Remilia: True... I feel it does not have much to do with Reimu's temperament.
Rumia: Yeah, it should be more...
something like "the ability to beat up youkai," right-?
Tewi: Yeah, yeah.
Remilia: Or "the ability to be okay even when poor"...
Marisa: Or "the ability to show off armpits."
Sanae: I think "the ability to cut Ekisha in half" would fit her better.
Reimu: ...Who do you guys think I am?
Sakuya: Sorry for the wait, everyone.
Mokou: It's time to eat.
Nazrin: Oh, so you're the one in charge of making dinner today.
Rumia: Yay, food-!
Sanae: This smell... So our menu is that!
Mokou: Yep, we're having curry tonight.
I don't cook a lot, so I'm not sure if it'll taste good...
Marisa: It's fine. It's harder to make curry that tastes bad.
Tewi: Since we had the party and Rumia's cooking, we had only heavy meals for a while.
I'd welcome a normal meal, even if it tastes bad.
Nazrin: ...Was that supposed to be reassurance?
Sakuya: Then please take your seats, everyone.
Reimu: ...Huh?
Is Cirno not here?
Nazrin: ...Oh yeah, she's not here.
Rumia: It's unusual for her to be late for our meals, isn't it-?
Marisa: Where has she gone?
Sakuya: Cirno-san was at the Supermarket.
I called her earlier, but she seemed busy with shopping...
Sanae: Shopping...?
Reimu: Since we're going to eat, should I call her over?
Sakuya: Yes, could you do that?
Reimu: [Moved from the Cafeteria.]
Reimu: Hey, Cirno?
Are you here?
Cirno: Oh, it's Reimu.
Do you need something?
Reimu: Don't give me that.
It's time to eat. Everybody's waiting.
Cirno: ...Oh yeah, Sakuya did call me a while ago.
Sorry, sorry, I'll come now.
Give me these-!
Ran: Yes, hold on a moment.
...Oh, you're buying a lot.
Reimu: Origami, artificial flowers, ...sewing tools and a sculpting chisel?
What are you going to do with these?
Cirno: Hehehe, it's a secret-!
I'm going to use them for something really good!
Reimu: ...?
Cirno: Sorry for the wait
Oh? It smells really good.
Mokou: We're having curry tonight.
Cirno: Oh, I get to eat curry today?
Mokou: Yeah, make sure you eat lots.
Tewi: You can have seconds too!
Cirno: Yay!
Reimu: Stop making such inauspicious exchanges.
[Ate dinner with everyone.]
The Dolls
The Dolls Embrace Murderous Intent
Reimu: Hm...
Something's making sound?
(...It's Aya's camera.)
There's an error message on the screen...
Memory error... Capacity... Delete the cache or change the SDC...
...Umm?
I don't really understand, but it's broken?
......
Yukari, could you help me?
Yukari: You called?
Reimu: The camera broke, so fix it.
Yukari: ...Don't call out the game master for something like that.
Reimu: But you were bored, right?
Yukari: Oh, but managing the game is pretty busy work, you know?
Reimu: There's drool around your mouth. ...You were sleeping, weren't you?
Yukari: Huh...
Reimu: I'm just kidding.
...So you were sleeping.
Yukari: That was mean, Reimu.
...So, you said the camera broke. Would you let me see?
Reimu: Here.
Yukari: Let's see...
Reimu: ...Can you fix it?
Yukari: Even if I could fix it, it would be interfering with the players so I can't repair it.
I can keep it for a day and have the 17th player repair it. Is that okay?
Reimu: What, that's so inconvenient.
You don't have to say things a bureaucrat would say.
Yukari: As the game master, I have to properly follow the rules.
And...
Reimu: And?
Yukari: This isn't broken.
It's memory capacity is full.
Reimu: What?
Yukari: You can just put in a new memory card.
They're sold at the Supermarket, so why don't you go buy one?
Reimu: ...I just need to change the card?
Yukari: That's right.
It's almost time for the Supermarket to close, so if you're going to go, you should hurry.
Reimu: Okay, I'll go buy one.
Thanks, Yukari.
Yukari: Yes, yes, see you.
Reimu: [Moved from the room.]
Chen: Ah, Reimu-san.
Are you buying something? It's almost time for the shop to close.
Reimu: I'll be quick.
Do you have a memory card for video cameras?
Chen: Ah, they're over here.
Reimu: I'll buy it.
Alright, with this the camera can...
......
Chen: Is something the matter?
Reimu: How do you change memory cards?
Chen: Huh...
Reimu: ......
Yukari, would you come here?
Yukari: Yes, yes, what now?
Wait, don't keep calling the game master out like this.
Reimu: It's fine, isn't it? Since you're bored.
Yukari: So, what is it this time?
Reimu: Teach me how to change memory cards.
Yukari: ...You should try to figure it out yourself.
Oh well, I'll take a look. Let me see it.
Cirno: Oh, Reimu...
We're meeting here a lot today.
Reimu: Cirno, you're shopping again?
Cirno: Yeah, is the shop still open?
Chen: What are you looking for?
Cirno: Um, I ran out of materials.
Reimu: Materials...?
You were shopping this evening too, but what are you trying to do?
Cirno: Ehehe, it's a secret!
Reimu: ...Cirno, you aren't doing anything weird, are you?
We're in the middle of this game. Careless actions will bring about unneeded suspicion.
Cirno: I-I'm not doing anything suspicious!
...I guess I don't have a choice.
I was planning to surprise everyone tomorrow, but I'll show it to Reimu early.
Reimu: Huh...?
Cirno: Come with me!
Reimu: [Moved from the Supermarket with Cirno.]
Reimu: This is... the Warehouse?
What were you doing in a place like this?
Cirno: You see
The altar Rumia-chan made is here, right?
Reimu: ...You mean that ominous, evil object?
Cirno: Yeah, about that
Since Rumia-chan put all her heart into making it, it's sad to leave it here.
...Although putting something like that in the Cafeteria isn't good, design-wise.
Reimu: Then...
The reason why you bought handicraft tools and artificial flowers...
Cirno: Yeah, I want to make this altar into something pretty!
If I do that, Rumia-chan...
...Aya, and Yuugi nee-chan would be happy.
Reimu: Cirno...
Cirno: ...But, decorating is hard.
I'm doing it in my spare time, but I'm not making much progress.
Reimu: If that's the case, do you want me to help you?
Cirno: Ehehe, that's the way!
Cirno: Okay...
Thanks to Reimu's help, it's looking pretty good!
...Huh? What's wrong?
Reimu: Well, umm, that design...
I can't understand the artistic sense of youkai.
Cirno: Huh... Is it weird?
Reimu: It became gaudy... I guess?
Cirno: I-Is this no good?
...Would everybody be unhappy with this?
Reimu: ...It's okay.
If you put all your heart into it, that's enough.
Cirno: I-I see!
Reimu: Well then... That took up a lot of time.
...It's almost 12. I should go to sleep.
Cirno: It's already that time-
Okay Reimu, see you tomorrow.
Reimu: You aren't going to sleep?
Cirno: I still need to finish up the special decoration.
Reimu: Special decoration?
Cirno: Reimu, have you forgotten what my "Super duper high school talent" is?
Reimu: "Super duper high school ice maker"...
I see. You're going to make something with ice.
Cirno: Ehehe, that's right!
Reimu: ...That's fine, but it's already late at night. Why don't you do it tomorrow?
Isn't it dangerous to be alone at this time of night?
Cirno: ...You're right.
Yeah, I'll go to sleep after cleaning up.
Reimu: You should do that.
Cirno: Reimu, thanks for helping me.
Good night.
Reimu: Yep, good night.
Reimu: ...Huh?
(Oh yeah...)
(Where did I put Aya's camera?)
T-That's strange... There's no way I could lose it.
......
...Yukari, do you have a moment?
Yukari: Yes, yes, what is it?
...Wait, don't call me out at this time of night.
I was just about to go to sleep.
Reimu: But you were sleeping earlier too.
Yukari: ...So, what do you need?
Reimu: Um, didn't I leave Aya's video camera with you?
Yukari: Yes, you left it with me and forgot about it.
Reimu: I knew I forgot it with you.
Yukari: Don't worry, the 17th player changed the memory card for you.
Reimu: Thanks.
...So, where's the camera now?
Yukari: Unfortunately, it's not here.
It's a rule that the game managers can't interfere. It's left at the place you forgot it.
Reimu: ...So it's at the Supermarket.
You could've just brought it to me...
Yukari: Sorry for making you do extra work.
It's unlocked, so you can go in and get it.
Reimu: Okay.
Oh, it's Reimu.
Marisa: Hey, it's rare to see you up at night.
Sanae: Gooood evening!
Reimu: Marisa and Sanae...
What are you doing at this time of night?
Marisa: Well, we were playing games in the Lounge Room, and we ended up getting really into it.
Sanae: It was an intense battle!
Although I won in the end.
Marisa: Being able to hold my own against the miracle in a card game is a great accomplishment in itself, right?
Sanae: But Marisa-san, you were using a super OP deck called Black-White Kamui.
Marisa: If you're saying that, you can't make fun of the power of your Blue Henry either.
Sanae: Come on, that was just a fun deck.
Reimu: ...I don't really get it, but you seem to be having fun.
Wait, weren't you guys having a fight?
Marisa: Ah, ...I guess something like that did happen.
Sanae: We do have fights a lot, but we make up quickly.
Marisa: We both get bored easily, so our fights don't last long.
Reimu: Oh... really?
...Well, I'm glad you two made up.
Marisa: Reimu, what are you doing up at this time?
Reimu: I forgot something at the Supermarket.
Marisa: ...Oh really?
It's dangerous to be walking around alone, so be careful, okay?
Reimu: Yeah, thanks.
Sanae: Then, good night.
Marisa: Good night, Reimu.
Reimu: Yeah, see you tomorrow.
Reimu: Whoa...
It's darker than I thought it would be...
(...That's troubling.)
(I was planning to get the camera and leave quickly, but I don't know where it is.)
Umm, the light switch is...
(......)
Oh...
Good, there's light now.
And, the camera is...
...Here it is.
......
I guess I'll check if it's working right.
......
Okay, there's no error message.
It looks like it's recording with no problem.
I got the camera fixed without incident...
I guess I'll go to sleep for today.
...Hm?
That's...
It's Mokou.
What are you doing at this time of night?
Mokou: Whoa...!?
......
Reimu: W-What?
Mokou: A-Ah, umm...
I was just s-surprised since you came out of the Supermarket since it's closed...
Reimu: ...Sorry for startling you.
...So, what were you doing?
Mokou: I... was going back after drinking at the Bar.
...Um, I had this feeling of foreboding and I couldn't sleep.
Reimu: Foreboding...?
Mokou: Yeah...
...My instincts are right during times like this.
During times like this... something that can't be undone always happens.
Reimu: ......
Mokou: ...Ah.
S-Sorry, for saying weird things so suddenly...
All that alcohol must've made me nervous.
I'll go to sleep now. ...Sorry for saying such weird things.
Reimu: ...Good night.
Mokou: Yeah, see you tomorrow.
Reimu: ......
......
...That's troubling.
I can't sleep...
(Mokou said it too, but there's a feeling of foreboding tonight...)
(I can't stop this feeling of dread...)
...I just can't settle down.
Even though it's this time...
I'll go have some hot tea in the Cafeteria...
Oh, Reimu-san...
Sakuya: What are you doing at this time of night?
Reimu: Sakuya... You were still awake?
Sakuya: Yes, I was cleaning up after our dinner, and preparing for tomorrow's breakfast.
Since there is this many people, preparing the meals takes a long time.
Reimu: ...You're working hard.
Sakuya: Fufu, compared to the workload in the mansion, this is nothing.
And, I do not dislike taking care of the people around me.
I am having fun in the life here. Please do not worry.
Reimu: Don't push yourself, alright?
Sakuya: Fufufu... Thank you.
So, Reimu-san, do you need something?
Reimu: I couldn't sleep...
so I wanted to drink some hot tea.
Sakuya: Then, shall I brew some hot royal milk tea?
With plenty of sugar, and a little bit of ginger...
It will warm you down to your core.
Reimu: Thanks, I'll leave it to you.
Remilia: Oh, Reimu...
You are up late. Is something the matter?
Reimu: Remilia, you were awake too?
Remilia: Asking if I was awake...
But I am the noble of the night, a vampire.
My true nature is to sleep during the day, and be active during the night!
Reimu: ...You mean you're just a night owl.
So, what were you doing?
Remilia: A noble hunter of the darkness wastes not a second of the night.
I helped Sakuya with the cleaning, and I was just about to take out the trash!
Reimu: ...Noble, indeed.
Do you want some help taking out the trash?
Remilia: Yes, that would be helpful.
Sakuya: Reimu-san, thank you.
I shall prepare the tea in the meantime.
Reimu: [Moved from the Cafeteria.]
Reimu: Phew...
Living with more than 10 people means there's a lot of garbage.
Remilia: Yes, simply taking out the trash becomes a great chore.
Once we are finished, we shall have Sakuya's tea. Let us do our best.
Reimu: In this situation...
doing something normal, like taking out the trash, is comforting.
Remilia: If you like taking out the trash, you can do it every day, you know?
Reimu: No thanks.
Mokou: Ah...
Reimu: Oh, it's Mokou.
Weren't you going to sleep?
Mokou: Ah, umm...
...I couldn't sleep.
I got up, thinking I'll have tea in the Cafeteria.
Reimu: ...You too?
Mokou: You were going too, Reimu?
Reimu: Yeah.
Tonight... I couldn't settle down.
Remilia: When you are feeling like that, drinking warm tea with everybody is the best.
How about it? Would you like to join us for tea once we are done taking out the trash?
Yukari: A body has been found!
After a period of investigation time, we will hold the Class Trial!
Mokou: .......
Reimu: ......
Remilia: ...
...What?
Reimu: T-The announcement now...
Mokou: W-Wait a minute...
No... way...
Remilia: Who......?
Mokou: Since the body discovery announcement was rung...
somebody already found a body!?
Reimu: ...You two, go wake up everybody who's asleep.
Go check who's in their room and who isn't.
Mokou: ...I have... a bad feeling about this.
A really... bad feeling...
Reimu: Ah, wait!
Mokou: R-Reimu...
Cirno isn't in her room!
Even when I knocked, there's no answer...
Reimu: Calm down.
Cirno was in the Warehouse earlier.
Let's look around the game area, and check on everyone, including Cirno.
Mokou: ...U-Understood.
......
I was panicking... Sorry.
Satori: Reimu-san, the announcement now...
Sanae: Has it started... again?
Reimu: Everyone, listen.
Get into groups of two or three players and check the game area.
...Make sure there's no player who's alone.
If you do, find a body, ...call everyone.
Satori: ...Understood.
Sanae: W-Where should we start from?
Mokou: ...T-Then, we'll start with this area.
You two should go to the School Area and Recreation Area.
Sanae: Roger.
Remilia: ...Reimu.
Reimu: ...We should go too.
Sakuya: Oh, Reimu-san...
That announcement just now; it seems it has started again.
There is nothing unusual in the Cafeteria or Kitchen.
Reimu: Since you were here the entire time, it was impossible to happen here...?
Sakuya: Ah, yes.
I shall prepare coffee and light snacks for everybody to have during the investigation time...
so please come get some if you would like.
Reimu: Huh...
Mokou: You really... don't feel anything.
Reimu: There's nothing in the Baths.
Remilia: We have checked the shower room and sauna, but nothing was out of the ordinary.
Mokou: ...It's not here, huh.
Remilia: ...There is no one in the Warehouse either.
I notice some decorations that make me question the decorator's sanity, but it seems it is not here either.
Reimu: Ah, that was Cirno...
...Huh?
Where did Cirno go?
Remilia: We checked the Laundry Room, but there was nothing there.
Mokou: There was nothing unusual in the Bathroom either.
Reimu: The only place we haven't checked in the Dormitory Area is the players' rooms?
Mokou: We haven't looked at the Trash Room either.
Reimu: ...There was that place too.
Reimu: ......
(When I touched the cold doorknob of the Trash Room...)
(I had a feeling.)
(A cold, grim feeling.)
Remilia: ...?
Reimu, what is the matter?
Reimu: ...It's nothing.
Nothing at all...
(I-)
(as if flinging off this bad feeling from my mind)
(flung)
(open)
(the door.)
Remilia: ......
Huh?
Mokou: Wh-
What is this?
Why
Why did this happen?
Reimu: (She)
(had been smiling moments ago.)
(While making decorations for her friends)
(she was smiling.)
(Now)
(she would never smile again.)
(Covered in blood)
(next to the trash machine)
(like a broken doll)
(she was roughly thrown there.)
......
I'll...
...I'll call everyone.
Remilia: Y-Yes.
Reimu: ......
Tewi: Ah, Reimu...
Marisa: ...It looks like everybody's awake, but what happened?
Rumia: T-That announcement...
Reimu: ...We found the body.
Come to... the Trash Room.
Tewi: Huh...
Marisa: You're... kidding.
It... happened again.
Rumia: Wh...
Who was killed-?
Reimu: ......
Marisa: H-Hey, Reimu.
Are you okay?
Reimu: I'm okay.
...I can't stay down.
Sanae: Ah, Reimu-san.
Um, there wasn't anything unusual in the Recreation Area...
Reimu: ......
Satori: ...So you found it.
Sanae: Huh?
Satori: Sanae-san, let's go to the Trash Room.
Sanae: Huh... Y-Yes.
Sakuya: Oh, Reimu-san.
...It looks like you found the body.
Then, I shall assist with the investigation as well.
Mamizou: Oh, Reimu.
So you were safe. ...That's good.
Nazrin: Sanae and Satori asked us to check the School Area.
We found nothing unusual, though...
Reimu: We found the body... in the Trash Room.
Everyone's gathered there, so you should head there too.
Nazrin: ...G-Got it.
Reimu: (Now...)
(excluding Seiga and Koishi, I checked on all the players.)
(From what I saw, no one was acting strangely.)
(They just seemed surprised from the sudden incident.)
(But, this case...)
(already had the "body discovery announcement" rung.)
(That means there was at least "3 people" who found the body but pretended they didn't.)
(...Nobody's behavior seemed unnatural either.)
(Even if one of the three body discoverers was the murderer...)
(Two people... out of the players here have evil intentions and are hiding the fact that they found the body.)
(...If so, this murder is clearly different from the first murder.)
(There's a clear undercurrent of evil intent.)
(An anomaly in murder...)
Mamizou: Reimu, you're back.
Remilia: Everybody is here now.
Reimu: Huh? Where's Mokou?
Remilia: She is inside the room.
...She said she wanted to be close to Cirno.
Reimu: ...I see.
Marisa: I heard the story.
Rumia: W-Who was it...
Who... killed Cirno-chan...!?
Tewi: I don't know who the culprit is-
but killing her, of all people? ...Just how cowardly is this person?
Sakuya: The culprit has done something horrible...
Sanae: Did somebody here really do something that cruel...?
Nazrin: I don't want to believe it...
but there's no choice but to do that.
Satori: Let's begin our investigation.
Now that a case has occurred, the only thing we can do is to figure out the truth.
Reimu: (...Yes.)
(To live through this game, we must figure out the truth.)
(...But, that's not all.)
(The "Super duper high school ice maker," Cirno.)
(In this difficult situation, she was an innocent merrymaker who never forgot her smile until the very end...)
(If she was swallowed up by somebody's evil intent and killed...)
(we must figure out the identity of that evil intent.)
(If somebody here came to embrace such strong evil intent)
(...as friends, we have to learn why.)
You're right.
Let's begin the investigation.
[Moved to the Trash Room.]
(I...)
(haven't understood a thing.)
(The identity of the anomaly running undercurrent in this case...)
(The words "evil intent" were too inadequate.)
