Exam 5

[lockdownmods]

Exam 5.

[ Once again, the exam begins with the desks arranged in a perfect circle; one desk for each person that's participating in the program. There are nameplates for everyone, and they have been bolted to each of the desks, facing the inside of the circle...

...including the deceased. Their chairs have been placed on top of their desks, signifying that they will not be needed. Above of their desks are holograms of their portraits from their profiles, grayed out and bloodstained.

Han is no longer here to watch over you. And yet at the desk, a beautiful vase of flowers sits by his name plate. It is Oswald who stands at that desk, though Vivienne watches him intently from the side of the room with a sharp gaze. But his eyes are frozen on those delicate flowers. With his knuckles white, he grips the desk as one, and then several more tears fall.

Vivienne waits, but he doesn't speak. So ultimately she's forced to do it herself. ]

...Professor Han was... a good man. It's truly unfortunate that he won't be able to finish the semester with you all I know... he would have wanted to. In... his absence, I will... do my best to support you in his place, the way he would have wanted to.

[It's hard for her too. This is... it's just sad. It's all just... sad. But they have to press forward.


Today we're here to find the person who is responsible for the death of Waver Velvet, the Apprentice of Magecraft.

...Take your time. The evidence you need is all here.

Victim.






Suspects.

Ahaha! Well it's no one anyone here would know anyway.

[covertizer]

Do they make you happy?

[myliteratureclub]

Oh absolutely. They were the only thing I cared about back home.

...That doesn't really help me look less guilty, does it? Aha...

[covertizer]

We know the drill by now. We look at every angle, until we find an answer. If you did it, then we'll find out. If you didn't, then it's fine.

[myliteratureclub]

Heh, of course. Thank you for not pointing fingers.

[covertizer]

Pointing them in the past never did us any good.

Monika-san... You said to me once you were "terrible at being a club president".

Is it because you were prioritizing the person you had come to like...? I think maybe that's not so unnatural. With enough time I'm sure a healthy balance can develop.

[myliteratureclub]

[.....]

Are you asking out of curiosity or is it relevant to the case?

[lovedanime]

It just seems like... You think your disregard for your fellow club members would make you more suspicious in the case. So I just wanted to reassure you, I think you're doing your best. That's all.

[myliteratureclub]

Ah... thank you, Mitarai.
