HQ bound, Nagata!

*The class gather at the landing area as the helicopter sets down*

Kobo: Heyooooo!! *He leaps off of the helicopter* Who’s missed me?!

Sadao: Naga-chan! *He zips past Kobo and hugs Ryuu*

E-easy now, Irunami-san, lemme get off the helicopter properly first!

Sadao: Huuuh? *He pokes Ryuu’s arm* Did you get buffer? Those definitely feel like muscles starting!

Amaterasu: *Suddenly behind Ryuu* Congrats on the strength upgrade. *Pats his head*

Nice to see you as well, Amaterasu-san.

Kobo: Oi, what about me?!

Don’t worry, *He pats Kobo’s back* Irunami-kun’s just messing with you. (Probably).

Mami: Indeed! We’re glad to have you back as well, Okanaya-kun.

Naomi: As long as you don’t-

Sly: *Approaching with Doi* Ah, it seems they’ve already arrived.

Kobo: Sly! When are you gonna spar with me!?

Naomi: -do that...

Sly: Later.

Kobo: *Grins* Fuck yeah!

Doi: ...are you actually gonna spar with him?

Sly: I think I might bruise his ego if I do.

Doi: Is that so?

Rina: *Bursts through Doi and Sly and runs at Kobo and Ryuu* You’re here!

W-wait, Rina-san- *She tackle-hugs the pair of them and nearly knocks them over*

Didn’t you only see them the other day...?

Rina: That doesn’t matter! I’m just happy they’re here! That we’re all here!

Naomi: Not everybody...where are Junpei-kun and Karma?

I passed by them on the way here. They said they’re dealing with refreshments for the party.

Naomi: By themselves...? They should’ve asked some more people to help out.

Tsukiko: Ah, do not worry. I’m sure the pair of them shall be plenty to deal with the workload.

Right. We’ll see them both later. For now, I think Kobo-kun and I should dump our stuff in our rooms.

Tomoe: Oh, I can send that stuff over for you if you want! It’ll be taken care of in a jiffy!

Kobo: Hell no, god knows where you’ll end up sendin’ it to!

Tomoe: For that, I’ll send your stuff into the ocean.

*A few of the classmates laugh at Kobo and Tomoe’s argument whilst Yuuki exits the helicopter on the other side, grabbing his bag as he tries to sneak around the group.*

Sadao: *Tackles him from behind* Saki-chan~! Where you think you’re going~?

Tsukiko: Oh dear, I hope you didn’t think you could sneak past us all without a proper greeting.

Saori: Rude, dude. Ooo~, love the man-bun as well!

Yuuki: H-huh? *A few of the classmates surround him, much to his surprise* Oh...thanks. I guess I kind of need it cut.

Naomi: You should keep it long. It looks good.

Yuuki: Oh...m-maybe I will. *His eyes glance to the side and he sees Sly off to the side, Sly nods at him and he smiles back and chat away with the group*

*Standing a few steps behind the crowd, avoiding looking directly at Yuuki or Sly*...

Watanabe-chan? Aren’t you gonna say hi to him?

Oh...later on, I will. I’m sure he’s tired from the journey.

Sly: *His eyes pass over Maemi and he sighs*

Doi: Sly-san?

Sly: Nothing. Don’t worry about it.

Aoi Yuuki, Asami Shimoda, Marina Inoue, Megumi Han and Yukari Tamura are the only women I’ve found so far that play both male and female characters. 2. Listen to the differences between Taishi Murata’s characters. His range never ceases to amaze... the only English voice actors with similar ranges (that I know of) are Ben Diskin and Sean Chiplock. 3. On the female side, Umeka Shouji has a surprisingly large range. I’ve mostly heard her play deeper-voiced roles, and then Corona shows up... 4. I love Hiro Shimono’s evil laugh. He doesn’t go all out with Loki, but he sounds like an insane seagull when he does. 5. As a mythology fangirl, I’m a little annoyed by all the changes. Frey, Mani and Vali are supposed to be male; Skuld is supposed to be a Norn (with Verdandi and Urd); Hel, Fenrir and Jormungand are supposed to be Loki and Angrboda’s kids; Idun is supposed to be Bragi’s wife; Thrud is supposed to be Thor’s daughter and Magni and Modi his sons. I’ll update this “lore correction” once I find more characters.

Hirokazu Kore’eda: il pluripremiato regista giapponese

Nuovo post su italianaradio https://www.italianaradio.it/index.php/hirokazu-koreeda-il-pluripremiato-regista-giapponese/

Hirokazu Kore’eda: il pluripremiato regista giapponese

Hirokazu Kore’eda: il pluripremiato regista giapponese

Hirokazu Kore’eda: il pluripremiato regista giapponese

È nato il 6 giugno 1962 a Tokyo. Dopo la laurea alla Waseda University nel 1987, Hirokazu Kore’eda è entrato nella TV Man Union dove ha diretto diversi programmi di documentari vincitori di vari premi. Nel 2014 ha lanciato la sua casa di produzione BUN-BUKU.

Del 1995 è il suo debutto come regista di lm con Maborosi – tratto dal romanzo di Miyamoto Teru, vincitore del Premio Osella al 52° Festival di Venezia – una storia dalle tinte fosche e inquietanti che vedeva nel cast l’allora emergente attore Asano Tadanobu. Segue un altro racconto dalla cornice fantastica, After Life (1998), ambientato in una sorta di limbo tra cielo e terra. Il lm viene distribuito in oltre 30 nazioni e porta Hirokazu Kore’eda all’attenzione internazionale.

Nel 2001, Distance, imperniato sull’elaborazione del lutto da parte di un gruppo di persone divenute loro malgrado conoscenti, è stato selezionato in competizio- ne al Festival di Cannes. Il protagonista del suo quarto lavoro Nessuno lo sa (2004), il tredicenne Yagira Yūya, ha raccolto grande attenzione come il più giovane attore ad aver ricevuto il premio per la miglior interpretazione nella storia del Festival di Cannes. Il lm è ispirato a un fatto di cronaca (una madre che abbandona improv- visamente i propri gli per scappare con un uomo) che scosse il Giappone negli anni ‘90.

Hirokazu Kore’eda: tutti i suoi film

Nel 2006, Hana, un lm di samurai sul tema della vendetta, è stato il suo primo lm in costume. Nel 2008, Kore-eda ha presentato Still Walking; il lm, in parte autobiogra co, vede la partecipazione della star giapponese Abe Hiroshi, con cui formerà un sodalizio artistico, e verte su una riunione di famiglia nella provincia giapponese. Nel 2009, con Air Doll, presentato a Un Certain Regard al 62° Festival di Cannes, Kore-eda opera la sua prima incursione nel mondo dei manga trattan- do il tema della solitudine e delle fantasie sessuali dei giapponesi. Nel 2011, con I Wish, il regista torna a dirigere, dopo Nessuno lo sa, un gruppo di attori bambini, questa volta con una storia più solare che ruota attorno ai fuochi d’arti cio. Il lm ha vinto il premio per la miglior sceneggiatura al 59° Festival Internazionale del Cinema di San Sebastián.

Nel 2012, ha debuttato come regista di una serie tv in Going Home che vede ancora una volta nel cast il dato Abe Hiroshi. Father and Son (2013), vincitore del Premio della Giuria al Festival di Cannes, ha ricevuto il Premio del Pubblico ai festival di San Sebastián, Vancouver e San Paolo e ha segnato un nuovo record di incassi, nella lmogra a del regista, in diverse nazioni. La vicenda ruota attorno a due famiglie che vengono a contatto quando si scopre che i rispettivi gli sono sta- ti scambiati per errore alla nascita. Nel 2015 è nuovamente in concorso al Festival di Cannes con Little Sister, nuovamente tratto da un manga, che ha ricevuto vari Japan Academy Award tra cui quello per Miglior Film e Miglior Regia, così come il

Premio del Pubblico al Festival di San Sebastián. Nel 2016, Ritratto di famiglia con tempesta, di nuovo con Abe Hiroshi questa volta nella parte di un detective priva- to, ha esordito nella sezione Un Certain Regard al 69° Festival di Cannes. Nel 2017 il regista collabora per la prima volta col celebre attore Yakusho Kōji nel dramma processuale Il terzo omicidio, presentato in concorso al Festival di Venezia. A Can- nes, Kore-eda è stato insignito della Palma d’oro con il lm Un affare di famiglia, mentre nel 2019 ha aperto il Festival di Venezia con la sua prima co-produzione internazionale, Le verità, girato in Francia e con un cast che vanta Catherine De- neuve, Juliette Binoche ed Ethan Hawke. La storia verte sul rapporto altalenante tra una madre, diva del cinema, e la glia sceneggiatrice.

Hirokazu Kore’eda è stato anche produttore per giovani registi giapponesi. Kakuto, diret- to da Iseya Yūsuke, ha debuttato all’International Film Festival Rotterdam nel 2003. Wild Berries, dello stesso anno, è stato scritto e diretto da Nishikawa Miwa, il cui se- condo lungometraggio, Sway, è stato mostrato alla Semaine de la critique di Can- nes nel 2006. Il documentario Ending Note: Death Of Japanese Salesman (2011), rmato da Sunada Mami, ha raccolto consensi di pubblico a livello internazionale. Kore-eda Hirokazu è stato recentemente insignito del premio Cineasta Asiatico dell’Anno al Busan International Film Festival del 2019.

Traditional festival in Japan Gift towel package

by Yuta Takahashi & Calligrapher Mami

The packaging inspires to the paulownia box which is used to store various things from ancient times in Japan. The tung has been used for high-grade furniture since a long time ago because it has the property of being dampproofness, fire retardant and resistant to decay. Also, Japanese have an unique tradition that a calligrapher signs that box. This packaging interpreted this in a contemporary thinking and thought whether to could make a novel design.

Ocean Chapel

by Atsuhiko Sugiyama

The idea of a space that functions as a wedding hall to spend an extraordinary moment for once in a lifetime is materialized in a space that gives a feeling of ‘buoyancy’, free from “gravity”. Because it was designed in such a way that we may feel as if we stand at the bottom of the ocean, when we look up, there is an illusion of being sucked up to the surface of the sea. Ocean is the overall theme of this place.

Yakiniku Restaurant NIKUNOTORIKO Restaurant

by Ryoji Iedokoro

BBQ, where eating takes place with special friends in the nature, makes eating more delicious, fun and memorable. By imagining so, with more humanlike instinct and feeling, the interior design have made the image of comfortable space surrounded by the trees on the riverside, and sometimes in the cave to avoid rain and wind. Design cannot help but tend to depend on visual information only, but with touch and mind added, it will be carved into memory.

Chapter 4: The Sky is Just a Skip Away ~Investigation~

//This did take longer than expect, and I apologise. I won’t lie and say that I expect to get through the trial quickly since I do go back to college but I will do my best to try and write when I can! As always, I hope you enjoy!

-Chapter 4 Deadly Life, Ultimate Romance Expert’s Talent Lab-

 Everyone eventually had gathered at the scene of the crime, unable to describe what they were seeing. Just earlier today I was talking with Kurohiko-san and now…that’s not even getting started on Asano-san. Asano-san? Dead? Who would even think of killing Asano-san? She never stopped thinking about what she could do for everyone, and Kurohiko-san was always available for emotional support whenever somebody needed it. Why…? Why them?

 “This is not good. Not in the slightest.” Kurosaki-san tipped his hat down. “Investigating two murders in one with the same amount of time for one murder? I don’t like these odds.”

 “I have to agree.” Sly-san crossed his arms. “Right off the bat, I have my own issues with this as well, but I can talk about that stuff at the trial. Speaking of which, he should be arriving now.”

 “Ah! You’d be right.” Monokuma popped up, pausing for a few moments. “…ah, no yells in terror. I’m gonna miss that guy, y’know? What a character. Oh well! Just how the killing game goes, right?” Monokuma chuckled, clearly not too beat up over the situation.

 “Hold on now, I have some questions to ask of you. After all, this is a completely different kind of investigation for us.” Kurosaki-san said.

 “Ah, yeah! This is the first time we’ve had to investigate two corpses! What’s the protocol for that?” Graves-san asked.

 “Protocol? I guess you mean who you guys are voting for in the trial. Y’see, in the class trial, I believe in ‘first come, first served’! Meaning the first corpse will be the one you’re voting on!” Monokuma said. The first corpse, huh? Then I guess first order of business will be discerning which corpse is that ‘first’.

 “I see…the first corpse.” Sly-san murmured it to himself.

 “But wow! Two key players in a row? Your investigation will be rough…but I’m here to make it a little lighter with our recurring sponsor! The Monokuma File! Don’t worry, both of your victims are there! So, happy investigating!” Monokuma disappeared. I looked around at everyone left. There’s eight of us. Half of our original total. A lot less people left to help with the investigation.

 “Right! We should decide who’ll stay behind to look after the crime scene!” Graves-san said, “I’m up for doing it this time around!”

 “No…I don’t want anyone else looking after this place.” Amaterasu-san growled.

 “Huh? Are you saying you wanna do it by yourself? It’s always been at least 2 people keeping watch over the scene.” Okanaya-kun said. Amaterasu-san had a pained look on her face. The most emotion she had shown since we got here. It’s easy to forget, but she really cared about Kurohiko-san and Asano-san.

 “Is it alright to let Amaterasu-san look after the scene by herself this time?” Kirishima-san asked. “I-it’s just…it must be a tough situation for her…and we’ll all be coming in and out of here anyway! There’s no reason to worry, right? S-so…”

 “Rina-chan…” Amaterasu-san looked up, “thanks. I appreciate that. If you wanna leave anyone with me, I’ll accept Rina-chan.”

 “A-ah, is that so?” Kirishima-san smiled shyly as she filtered her hair between her fingers, “I don’t mind doing it. As long as I can help out somehow.”

 “C…can I stay as well?”

 “Yokozawa-kun?” Kirishima-san tilted her head. Yokozawa-san looked really pale, almost like he was gonna throw up.

 “I, uh…I just…this is a lot, so…I’m not sure I’m up for moving about much. S-sorry, I don’t think I could be much use outside of just watching over this place…” He apologised, holding his stomach almost in pain.

 Kirishima-san walked over to him and placed her hands on his cheeks, making him look into her eyes, “Please don’t apologise! This one will be hard for everyone, and we’ll all react differently! If you need anything, let me know! Even if it’s just a glass of water! I’ll run straight to the cafeteria and get some!”

 “K-Kirishima-san…”

 “I’m glad you’ve become so dependable, Mademoiselle Kirishima.” Kurosaki-san smiled a little.

 “Ah, is that so? That makes me happy to hear.” Kirishima-san giggled. “Okay. We need to do our best again to find the truth…so…let’s do it!”

 Everyone seemed really encouraged by Kirishima-san’s words. Which is good in a situation like this, the higher our morale is, the better. We have more work on our hands, another truth we need to find. I won’t let this go unsolved.

 ­Investigation Start!

 I opened up the Monokuma File to see what kind of information Monokuma provided this time. The first page was of Kurohiko-san, a pink splotch over his chest, around here his heart is. The next page was Asano-san, the pink splotch was located on her forehead. I scrolled to the next page.

 The victims are Doi Kurohiko and Mami Asano. Both bodies were found in the Ultimate Romance Expert’s Talent Lab. Both victims died within 5 minutes of each other from gunshot wounds after the night-time announcement.

 “Huh? Night-time?” I said out loud. “How late is it?”

 “What are you saying? The night-time announcement played a long time ago. Don’t you remember?” Kirishima-san asked.

 “A-ah…really?” I must’ve been so absorbed in what Amaterasu-san and I were doing that I didn’t even register it playing, “sorry, I’ve been distracted all day…guess I just didn’t remember.”

 “I don’t blame you. Everybody’s been really preoccupied today.” Kirishima-san let out a sigh.

Doi Kurohiko - Shot through the heart

Mami Asano - Shot through the head

Deaths occurred within minutes after night-time.

-

 Amaterasu-san was looking solemnly at Asano-san and Kurohiko-san, barely moving. She could be mistaken for a statue. “Why did this happen to them? It doesn’t make any sense…nobody hated them.”

“Amaterasu-san…” I looked for something to say to comfort her, but nothing came to me.

 “I’ll suck it up for now. I suppose you’re wondering about my alibi, right?”

 “Huh? You’re alibi?”

 “Well, we were separated for about an hour. You never realised how long you were gone?” Man, how out of it was I? “I suppose it makes sense after what we saw…I can tell you, but the problem is that if someone questions me, I can’t confirm anything without endangering the archive.”

 “So, you were just continuing your research during that time…you never left?” I asked.

 “Nope. I know it’s not really an alibi but it’s the truth. Whether you believe it or not is up to you.” Amaterasu-san turned her attention back to the scene. I think I do believe Amaterasu-san. It’s true, there’s no evidence yet for me to believe her, but…I want to at least believe Amaterasu-san wouldn’t do this.

 -

Truth Bullet Added: Amaterasu-san’s Account

Amaterasu was in the archive during the murder, researching as much as she could even after Ryuu left for a walk.

-

 “It’s just awful, don’t you think?” Kirishima-san asked, a crestfallen look upon her face. “Asano-san was so kind, and Kurohiko-kun was just so wonderful to everyone…I hate this so much. We have to figure out what happened for their sakes.”

 “Of course. By the way, Kirishima-san. I hope you don’t mind me asking, but where were you today during the murder? I haven’t seen you all day.”

 “Ah! Right! I’ve been in my Talent Lab the whole day. The stress of the situation was getting to me, so I thought I could work through the worry. I stayed in my lab until the night-time announcement played. Then I headed to my room and was about to sleep, that’s when the body discovery announcement played.”

 “You left the building after the night-time announcement? Did anybody see you so we can confirm that?”

 Kirishima-san thought for a moment. She opened her mouth a little but seemed hesitant. “It’s just…the only person I remember seeing was…A-Asano-san…”

 “Huh? You saw Asano-san right after the night-time announcement?!”

 “W-we were just passing by each other! We just exchanged ‘hellos’ and went on our ways…thinking about it now, she must have been coming here and then…” Then she died…which means Kirishima-san is the last person to have seen Asano-san alive. It doesn’t look good for her, but there’s no way Kirishima-san’s the killer…

 -

Truth Bullet Added: Kirishima-san’s Account

She was in her Talent Lab until the night-time announcement before heading back to the dorms. As she was leaving, she ran into Asano as she was leaving, making her the last to see Asano alive.

-

 “Yokozawa-san?” I walked over to Yokozawa-san who was stuck, paled in the corner. “Are you sure you’ll be okay with watching over the scene? You don’t seem totally with it today.”

 “I’m sorry, it’s just…th-this is a lot to take in. Y’know, it’s just gotten progressive worse? Watanabe-san was our leader. Irunami-kun happened right in front of all of us, Shinko-kun died in such an awful way…a-and now two victims. If it gets worse, I dunno how I’ll be able to handle it.” He explained.

 “I understand. Your lab is just on the other side of the floor, right? Were you in there the whole time?”

 “Yeah. It’s like I told you yesterday, I was trying to figure out the wi-fi password. Still no luck, mind you. I haven’t left the lab until the body discovery announcement.” He said.

 “I see…wait, then you didn’t even hear the gunshots? Even though you were on the same floor.”

 “Gunshots…? Ah, right. That’s how they died…no, I didn’t hear anything. Which…I suppose is odd…it’s like…even if I was deep in work, I should’ve heard it, right?” Yokozawa-san started murmuring to himself.

 “Yokozawa-san?”

 “Sorry, my mind’s running…if I think of anything, I’ll let everyone know. For now, though…s-sorry, I’m totally at a loss.”

 “It’s fine. Don’t worry too much about it, we’ll need your help at the trial so try to focus on calming down. Deep breaths, alright?”

 “Y-yeah.” Yokozawa-san’s clearly in shock, even if he’s suspicious, this sort of shock can’t be faked. I’m not sure what to think…

 -

Truth Bullet Added: Yokozawa-san’s Account

He was working on trying to figure out the password for the Wi-fi the past day and hadn’t left his lab until the body discovery announcement. He never heard any of the gunshots.

-

 I finally turned my attention to the scene of the crime. Sly-san was investigating Asano-san’s body currently. I walked over to him, watching him dig into the various pockets in Asano-san dress. He sat back onto his knees and sighed.

 “Looking at her like this, she really did look like a doll. It’s sad. Lives like hers don’t deserve to be taken but fate is never fair, is it?”

 “No, it’s not.” I agreed. “Have you found anything of note?”

 “A few things, actually. I’ve still gotta check on Kurohiko’s body but as far as Asano goes, I’ll start with her body itself. Other than the obvious cause of death, she doesn’t have any external injuries. No sign of anything being ingested so I doubt she was poisoned or something. You can call someone else if you wanna double-confirm that. The bullet wound itself didn’t go all the way through her skull.”

 “So…what does that mean?”

 “Either there was a lot of distance between her and the shooter, or something was between them which would have slowed the bullet.” Sly-san clarified.

 “I see…”

 -

Truth Bullet Updated: Monokuma File 4

Mami Asano – Shot through the head, the bullet didn’t go all the way. No sign of her ingesting something beforehand or any other external injuries.

-

 “Asano-san had a gun…?” I nodded to the weapon clutched in her hand.

 “Yeah. It’s a revolver, and it’s missing one of its bullets. I’ll have a look into the bullets themselves later. Also, while I was searching her pockets I found this-“ He pulls out a piece of paper and hands it to me “-some kind of note.” I unfold it and read out loud.

 “Meet me in my lab half an hour after night-time. It's very important we meet tonight so please don't be late." I said. That’s just a little before they were both killed… “Who do you think wrote this? Kurohiko-san? Since it does mention meeting in the sender’s lab…”

 “That seems like the most likely possibility, but it’s not signed so who knows?” If it was Kurohiko-san, why did he call Asano-san up here…? And right before the murder…?

 -

 Sly-san cocked an eyebrow, “Nagata? You seem rather spaced out. It’s unlike you.”

 “H-huh? Do I? Sorry, I guess this is just a little jarring, is all. Don’t you think it’s odd there are two bodies in the first place?”

 “Of course, I do. If you kill two people, it only leaves more evidence behind. If anything, it’s a disadvantage to the culprit…though, I suppose…” Sly-san’s voice trailed off, “I suppose that’s a thought for the class trial. For now, I’ll keep going with my investigation.”

 “Yeah, thank you.” I nodded. I wonder what Sly-san’s thinking? He’s smart when it comes to the trials so hopefully, he’ll have some insight to what could have happened. Though, if there’s anybody’s theories I want to hear…it’s them. ”Do you know where Kurosaki-san went?”

 “Kurosaki? It looked like he was heading for the staircase. Maybe he’s thought of somewhere else linked to the crime?” He paused for a moment. “Hold on! Why are you asking me where that guy is?!”

 “I mean…you two are close aren’t-“

 “Do you wanna die?” He growled.

 “Wh- s-sorry! I just thought after that last trial!”

 “…that was a one-off, get it? That guy is trouble even I don’t want to get involved with more than necessary. If you’re smart, you’ll keep your distance. A good kid like you shouldn’t get close to dangerous people.”

 Sly-san…aren’t you a dangerous person?

 Shaking off that thought, I murmured an agreement and walked over to the divider in the centre of the room. There were two holes in the divider, not to mention that when we walked into the room the curtain on Asano-san’s side was drawn to hide her. I wonder why the room was set up like that? Also these holes…they must be bullet holes, right? I can’t imagine anything else causing them.

 -

Truth Bullet Added: Room Divider

Two bullet holes were found in the divider.

Truth Bullet Added: Room Setup

There was a divider set up in the middle of the room and a large curtain that could be drawn over to block out one half of the room

-

 Alright, I think until Sly-san has investigated Kurohiko-san’s body, that’s all to look at right now. It’ll be more efficient to hear the info from Sly-san later and look elsewhere. There are a few places I want to check out and a few people I still need to check in on. Now, where to check first…?

 -Chapter 4 Deadly Life, 4th Floor-

 When I reached the top floor, it was as I expected. That person was standing in front of their lab. “Yo yo, Ryuu!” Graves-san greeted.

 “Graves-san, what are you doing up here?” I asked.

 “Ah, well I thought maybe the weapons used in the murder might have come from my lab, you know? I thought it would be best to check it out just in case. I totally forgot about the lock system though.” She scratched the back of her head and stuck her tongue out. Right, I remember when I first investigated here, Graves-san mentioned that her lab had a passcode on the door.

 “So, there’s no sign of anything being taken?”

 “Nope! Everything is as expected, you wanna come in and check?” She offered.

 “Please. Not that I doubt you, just so I can confirm to everybody else later should they ask about it.” I said. Graves-san nodded and inputted the 6-digit code and the door slid open. Just like last time, the room was totally barren.

 “Gimme a sec!” She went around the lab using the various security measures. Ocular scanners, fingerprint scanners, passcodes, everything. Eventually, almost every panel of the floor, walls, and ceiling had flipped to reveal weapons, monitors, information on the students, I even saw a grappling hook gun which I thought only existed in spy movies, it was almost overwhelming to see it in its full glory, “How cool is all this stuff, huh?!” She cheered.

 “Graves-san, everything is locked behind some kind of security measure, right?”

 “Of course! Even if you could get the passcode for the front door, my guns are all locked behind an ocular scanner so nobody but me could access that! It’s one-hundred percent secure!” She promised. I see…so only Graves-san had access to the weapons in this lab.

 -

Truth Bullet Added: Ultimate Secret Agent’s Lab

The lab is locked up with a six-digit passcode only Graves-san knows. In addition, all the weapons are locked behind an ocular scanner.

-

 Graves-san put her hands on her hips and smirked, “if you’re satisfied, then is that all?”

 “One more thing. Did you see anything out of the ordinary or anything worth noting? Anything, no matter how little it might seem.” I asked. Graves-san fiddled with the her cap for a moment.

 “Oh! Junpei! I saw Junpei after night-time! When I was waiting by the fountain after the night-time announcement, I could see into Junpei’s lab window! His computer is right by the window, and I saw him around the time of the murder as well!” Graves-san said.

 “You saw Yokozawa-san? And you’re sure it was around the time of the murder?”

 “Definitely. I was at the fountain at around 10:40pm.” Graves-san confirmed.

 “Got it. I’ll keep it in mind.”

 -

Truth Bullet Added: Graves-san’s Account

Graves remembers seeing Yokozawa at the window of his research lab from the fountain at around 10:40pm.

-

 “Okay. I think that’s everything here, thanks for your help, Graves-san.”

 “No problemo, homeslice! Always happy to help.” When she said that, I almost paused. It wasn’t so long ago that she was saying she didn’t trust any of us. Just how inconsistent was Graves-san? I just don’t understand her at all…

 -Chapter 4 Deadly Life, Talent Building Exterior-

 When I left the building, I found Kurosaki-san and Okanaya-kun talking just off the path. Okanaya-kun spots me first, grimaces and then looks away. Kurosaki-san turns back to look at me and smiles. “Nagata-kyun! Have you come to finally confess your love?”

 “No, what are you two doing out here?” I asked.

 “Herr Okanaya and I wished to investigate the outside of the building just in case of any possible evidence the culprit might have disposed of.”

 “And?”

 “Unfortunately, nothing on the outside. Disappointing, really. However! I was snooping around the talents labs and did discover something interesting. I looked in Amaterasu-chan’s lab and found an opened box of firecrackers!”

 “Firecrackers?”

 “There were a few boxes, so they presumably came with the lab. Judging from the state of the box, only two were taken, but I still found it interesting.” Kurosaki-san said.

 -

Truth Bullet Added: Firecrackers

The Ultimate Thief lab came equipped with firecrackers. One of the boxes was opened and missing two firecrackers.

-

 “What a fuckin’ waste of time.” Okanaya-kun grumbled, he barged past me and went back inside the talent building. So, he’s still mad about then…dammit. I wanna make things right so badly, but if I tell him…

 “Trouble in paradise?” Kurosaki-san asked with a genuine concern.

 “We just had a fight. You don’t need to worry; I’ll talk to him about it.” I said, forcing a smile. Kurosaki-san let out a low hum and nodded once. Slowly. “A-anyway, what about you? I was actually hoping to get your thoughts on the case so far.”

 “My thoughts? Apologies, I don’t have any kind of thoughts to share at the moment.”

 “Huh, really? That’s…surprising. It always felt like you kind of knew what was happening. You really don’t have any ideas?”

 “Ahahaha, sorry to disappoint. In all honesty, I wasn’t expecting anybody to really try and kill. That’s why we organised the battle royal.”

 “Was that the thing I walked into before we heard those shots?”

 “Indeed. I, Mademoiselle Graves, Herr Okanaya, and Herr Knives all agreed to do something about this motive before it got too far. Since there was a two-victim limit, having four people meant we guaranteed a surviving witness no matter the outcome. We all knew time was of the essence, so we all agreed to meet at 11pm.”

 “11pm? That’s pretty late.”

 “It was, wasn’t it? Not that it mattered. We all ended up turning up early and simply waited for it to roll around to 11pm.” Kurosaki-san explained. “I was the last one to arrive. I got there around 10:50pm.”

 “I see…so you all have alibis for the murder then.”

 -

Truth Bullet Added: 4-Way Battle Royal

Kurosaki, Okanaya, Sly, and Graves all decided to fight each other to the death in order to prevent everyone from dying due to the motive. They agreed to meet at 11 though they all arrived early.

-

 “Thank you for talking with me, Kurosaki-san. I think it helped.”

 “I’m glad. I’ll need to work a little harder than usual in order to uncover this truth. So, I’ll be counting on you to help me out.”

 “You give me too much credit. I’m more or less just following your lead. Besides, everyone is pretty useful in their own ways. We’ll get through this class trial as a team, I’m sure.”

 Kurosaki-san just stared at me before smiling. “Oh, to have your attitude.”

 -Chapter 4 Deadly Life, Ultimate Romance Expert’s Talent Lab (2)-

 When I returned to the scene, Sly-san was hanging back at the wall. He must already be finished, but what caught my eye more was the slightly less pale Yokozawa-san talking to Kirishima-san. “Hey you two, what’s happening?”

 “Ah, we made an amazing discovery!” Kirishima-san exclaimed, “you know how Yokozawa-kun was talking about not being able to hear the gunshots earlier? Well, we tried this experiment! I went out into the hallways and yelled super loud. At the top of my lungs! But nobody in the room could hear a thing!”

 “Huh, is that true?”

 “Yeah. Kirishima-san got really curious when I told what I told you, and it sounds like the walls to this room at the very least are soundproof.” Soundproof walls…

 -

Truth Bullet Added: Sound Experiment

Kirishima-san yelled as loud as she could from the hallways but the people inside the Ultimate Romance Expert’s Lab couldn’t hear her at all.

-

 Thanking the two for the information, I walked over to Sly-san who stood up straight when I approached. “I finished my autopsy.” He stated.

 “…and?”

 “It’s odd, actually. The gun that Kurohiko is holding isn’t a real gun. It’s a BB gun, so it only shoots harmless pellets.”

 “What? So, Asano-san had a real revolver, but Kurohiko-san only has a BB gun?”

 “Not only that,” He pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to me, “I found this on Kurohiko’s person. Another note.” I unfolded the note and read it out loud.

 “I'm scared he's going to kill her, we need to put a stop to this before another trial can occur." I murmured the words once or twice more. “This is odd…it almost sounds like Asano-san and Kurohiko-san were planning to kill someone…”

 “I wonder who all those pronouns are referring to though. ‘He’, ‘Her’, ‘Us’. It’s full of questions.”

 -

Truth Bullet Added: Kurohiko’s Gun

The gun Kurohiko was found with was a BB gun that was modelled to look like a handgun.

"I'm scared he's going to kill her, we need to put a stop to this before another trial can occur."

-

 “I feel this got a lot more complicated,” I let out a sigh, “Also, I forgot to ask before but when we initially ran here, you went to check on your lab. Did you find anything?”

 “Actually, that ties into what we were just talking about. I looked around and found that three of my guns were missing. Two revolvers and one BB gun. Last time I checked that lab was just before the motive reveal so between then and now, those all were taken.”

 -

Truth Bullet Added: Ultimate Assassin’s Lab

Two revolvers and a BB gun went missing from the weapons wall sometime after the motive reveal.

-

 “Phew…that’s a lot of info.”

 “I’m still not done. A few things I noticed during my actual autopsy.”

 “Th-there’s still more?!”

 “When I investigated Kurohiko’s wound, I found that he was shot with a pistol. Not a revolver. Asano-san was shot with a revolver though. Not to mention when I checked out that divider, neither of the holes were high enough to have shot Kurohiko in the heart. Not to mention the holes were different sizes, if they’re indeed bullet holes then they’re two different calibres.”

 -

Truth Bullet Added: Sly-san’s Account

The bullet in Kurohiko's body came from a pistol whilst the one in Asano's came from a revolver

Truth Bullet Updated: Room Divider

Two bullet holes were found in the divider. According to Sly, neither bullet hole was the right height to have hit Doi in the heart and they were different calibres.

-

 “R-right…”

 “And finally-“

 “More, still?!”

 “It isn’t my fault you didn’t look hard enough this time around. Don’t get pissed off at me or I won’t share my info with you.” Sly-san said.

 “S-sorry…you were saying?”

 “I noticed it when looking at Asano-san’s body, but it seems there was some orange powder on her. In fact, when I looked around closely enough there were tiny specs of orange powder all around the room. You won’t notice it if you don’t look for it though. I’m lucky Asano’s dress is white, so it stood out and I knew to keep an eye out.”

 “Orange…powder? Weird, but okay then.”

 -

Truth Bullet Added: Orange Powder

Traces of an odd orange powder were found all around the crime scene, including on Asano’s body.

-

 ~Ding dong, Bing bong~

 “Is it time yet…? I feel like it’s time. Alright, time for you all to haul ass to the usual place! Don’t be late, got it?!” The monitor turned off.

 “Let’s go.” Was all Sly-san said before leaving the room.

 -Chapter 4 Deadly Life, Trial Grounds-

 When everybody gathered outside the elevator Kirishima-san kept looking around the room. “This…is this really everybody?”

 “Look at us. This is half of what we started off as originally.” Okanaya-kun noted.

 “If anything, I’m just glad to have made it to the top eight!” Graves-san giggled, “Seriously though, how much longer are we gonna have to continue this sort of formula? It gets kinda boring after a while.”

 “Must be nice to be able to get bored with this sort of stuff.” Sly-san said.

 “You’re saying you’re enjoying this? Wouldn’t it be better to find it boring than find it fun?” Graves-san questioned.

 “I’m not going to answer your dumb questions.”

 “Awww.” She pouted as the elevator doors opened, “ah, let’s do it.” She pumped herself before walking on.

 Okanaya-kun barely regarded me before walking onto the elevator, Kirishima-san looked between us with worry, “U-umm…” She fiddled with her hair before simply opting to walk onto the elevator.

 “So cold~” Kurosaki-san remarked as he followed suit, as well as Sly-san.

 Amaterasu-san had this determined look in her eyes, “I’m gonna put in a lot more effort this time around. I wanna get this bastard.” With that, she, Yokozawa-san and I all stepped into the elevator and it began to descend. I couldn’t help but take notice how, even though I had much more room in the elevator, it hadn’t become less suffocating to stand in. A tense place right before we all put our lives on the line.

 The elevator came to halt and revealed the new design to our trial ground. The walls were patterned with hot pink love hearts and white dollhouses alternating on the black wallpaper. We all moved to our podiums without Monokuma even commenting this time. God, have we seriously become to numb to this process that we don’t even need to have anything said to us?

 There were three new portraits. Three. Asano-san and Kurohiko-san were stand X’s, but Ishikawa-san’s portrait rather than any clever X, were numerous hands reaching out from the bottom of the picture frame. Without really looking at those we had lost, we prepared ourselves.

 Doi Kurohiko, The Ultimate Romance Expert. He was goofy and often came across as unreliable, but even so, he was one of the easiest to approach, almost like a big brother. He understood everybody’s emotions better than anybody else. He might have understood someone more than they understood themselves.

 Mami Asano, the Ultimate Living Doll. It almost seems cruel to have that be her title. When I first met Asano-san she had to be told to do anything including sleeping or eating, but she was learning and improving on herself to make her own decisions. She was just at the start of her journey of discovering herself…
