[5] Final Notes.

After a small bit of walking, they had reached where the two bodies were. Liy flinched a little, surprised. "...More bodies?" She seemed a little confused. "And I thought Roboty killing two people was a lot." She murmured quietly to herself. "Well, what are we meant to do with this information?" Taco covered her face using her sweater. "Nng... Well I-" Suddenly, Monoroku had approached the group from behind. He coughed a little, gaining the attention of the students and having his hands behind his back. Taco looked over, a little surprised to see him in person. "H-Huh?"

"...You should know very well by now what this means." He had a grim expression on his face, frowning at them. It wasn't like him... It wasn't even like him during the surprise murders. "Two bodies may have been discovered. Well... Since this is a case where multiple killers are involved, I must instate a new rule for clarification." He took a deep breath. "Only the killer of the first murder, must be found. Your investigation period will be extended for a little longer for you to investigate the two new bodies, but once time is up, it is heavily requested you meet in the trial room. Consequences will be held if you refuse to attend the class trial." He firmly stated, narrowing his eyes down at them. "I'll meet you all later..." He turned away, before walking off. It confused the students a bit, raising even more questions.

"...M-Multiple killers!?"

"Which of us even killed them..."

"...I just want to know who killed him..."

Liy rolled her eyes a little at all of their statements. "This is surprising, but we must keep on. We have some time to investigate so let's use that time well." She explained. "Things clearly seem off with Monoroku, but we can question him once the trial begins."

"...I-I guess you're right..." Dora murmured, looking down at the two bodies. "Let's see here..." She went to crouch down, looking for any clues. Taco huffed. "Well, I'm going to keep looking around for any clues. Hopefully no more of us die..." She announced, before leaving to the cafeteria. Liy went to lean on the wall, observing Dora as she was looking for anything. 8-Ball huffed a bit, glancing away and sniffling a bit before heading back to the classroom where Loser's body had laid to grieve for a little longer. Ruby crossed her arms, going to go and look as well. She felt hesitant looking at Pencil's dead body... Though she knew that it would be one of the last ever times she'd even see her at all. "Huh..?" She went to look through her pockets, finding a piece of note hidden inside of it. "What's this-" She unravelled it, to see the note that was from the motive. She quickly dropped it out of surprise from reading it, watching as the blood began to soak the piece of paper.

Dora looked over, surprised. "Huh?" She glanced down at the paper. "What was that...?"

Ruby stared at it lifelessly, not having processed what she had read. "I-..." She looked away. "It was for the motive... That's all." She refused to tell them what she had seen. At least not now. Dora nodded a little. "...I see." She went to get up. "There isn't much we can get out of this that isn't obvious from first glances." She spoke, hands to her sides. Ruby went to pick up the gun hesitantly, looking at it. "It still seems loaded with stuff-" She was looking at it, pointing it towards herself out of curiosity. "Ruby, be careful!" Dora worriedly said, going to quickly snatch it off of her and stuff it in her bag. "I-I don't want you to accidentally injuire yourself... Or even worse." She was uncomfortable with the thought.

Liy raised an eyebrow. "You guys done yet?" She went to stop leaning, moving her hands in her pockets. She seemed a little tired. "Let's just get this case over with... Loser is obviously the culprit and that's it. We don't even need to figure out what happened with these two." She glanced a little at Pencil's body... She felt a twinge of guilt, but pushed it away. She knew moving on was the best option and she'd have to take it. "It's better if we do try to find out what happened to OUR friend." Dora frowned. "B-But you're right, hopefully this shouldn't be too difficult to figure out." She rubbed the back of her head nervously.

Ruby smiled. "Don't worry! We totally got this!" She tried to be optimistic. "Anywayssss-" Before she could finish what she was going to say, the PDA's began to beep once more. Liy went to take out hers, looking down at it with boredom. She knew the routine by now. They've done it time and time again... It was so tiring to all of them. The trio had huddled up together, looking down at the small handheld screen. "...Hello, students." Monoroku was sitting at where the class trial seat was. "Please report to the trial room as time for investigation is up." He formally said, crossing his legs and avoiding eye contact with whatever was recording him. "Our fifth class trial will be held once all 5 students have arrived and are at their podiums. Be on time, or else I will have to take action to make sure you follow the rules... I guess." He went to make a gesture with his hand, dismissing the camera as the PDA had turned off.

"Is it me or is he acting... really off?" Ruby tilted her head.

"I-It seems like something's bothering him..."

"Well girls, this is a question we may find out at the class trial. So come on now, we'll probably meet 8-Ball and Taco at the trial room." She urged, beginning to walk to where the mentioned room was. She had moved the PDA back in her pocket, leaving with the two others as they followed.

This would be the final class trial.
The biggest life or death situation for all 5 of the students.
