XXXVII. THIRTY-SEVEN

Start from the beginning
                                    

I rushed down the stairs and opened the main building doors, my legs ached and my headache started to rush back into the main building. I ran past some of the other characters in the building, looking confused why I had 3 people running after me. Kirumi was hot on my tail but i've managed to avoid her. I bursted into Korekiyo Ultimate Lab and rushed up one of the many staircases.

"Y/N! What are you doing?" Kokichi huffed.

"Kork said not to go inside!" The three of them had stopped at the bottom of the steps, out of breath but I already started to barrel into the room. My shoulders hit the side door but after three shoves, it opened.

There on the ground was Tenko Chabashira. She was in a fetal position with Korekiyo moving her legs so she'll fit under the cage correctly. Everyone in the room shot up in surprise.

"Y/N? What are you doing out of bed?" Shuichi asked.

I rushed past him and started walking to the circle. Korekiyo's eyes flashed with horror as he put his arms out in front of me, "You musnt step on the circle when the seance is about to take place!"

"Cool it, i'm just checking on something." I tried again to push past him but he gripped onto my arm. Our eyes darted into each other, I harshly pushed him off and asked tenko to move back.

"Y/N sure is weird..." Kokichi mumbled while I moved the floorboard. Just like in the game, it came up.

"A-Are you worried about the floor being loose?" Tenko asked, the atmosphere in the room felt awkward. Standing up, my eyes met with Korekiyo who looked as if he was going to shit himself.

"Give me the cloth." I demanded.

"The cloth?" Shuichi asked.

"The one thats supposed to be thrown over the cage." Korekiyo sighed and handed me over the sheets very slowly. I opened it up and there sticking up, was the needle. I moved it so it couldn't pinch me. "This, this is what I was looking for."

"T-Thats one big needle." Tenko started to sweat.

I looked her in the eyes. "Indeed, it is. If you guys would've gone through with the summoning ritual, Tenko, you would've been speared right through the heart."

The room went silent. Nobody spoke up, nobody moved... i don't know if they were even breathing anymore. Shuichi walked up to me and I handed him the sheets, "She's right..."

"W-Who would do such a thing?" Himiko cried.

"I could've died?!" Tenko screached.

"The amount of work someone put into this... they would have really gotten away with it if it weren't for Y/N." Kirumi also inspected the fabric. "I can't imagine someone here would actually kill..."

'Kirumi just about three days ago you tried to murder Ryoma..' I looked at the tall maid with confusion, "Anyways.. Do you think we should call everyone here for a discussion."

"Can we even do that?" Kiibo asked.

When the robot asked his question, a small puff of smoke rose from the ground and there was the three foot monster. He showed up with a look of excitement, "Since I'm bored, we haven't gotten a class trial in a while.... I'll allow it."

The body discovery announcement played over our heads, "You couldn't tell them to come here....?"

"Now where's the fun in that?" He asked. Soon enough, the rest of the fifteen students showed up in the doorframe.

"Who died?!" Kaito cried.

"Nobody, but we did find something interesting." Shuichi showed the crowd the cloth and explained the story for the group. "We need to figure out who would do this."

"Wouldn't it be Korekiyo?" Kokichi put his hands behind his back and jumped up on the medal cage. "This whole ritual thing was his idea."

"I think it's, Y/n." Maki hummed.

"Me?!"

"Yeah, how else would she know about this?" Everyone turned to me. I didn't have a lie, I couldn't make one up in time. I looked at Rantaro for help, anything.

"Didnt you tell me you have visions?" Rantaro asked.

"Visions..." Ryoma asked.

"Y/n told me she has visions of the future." Rantaro explained.

"I don't believe it." Ryoma debated.

"She did jump out of bed with fright when she woke up.." Angie hummed.

"But what if she doesn't have visions? This could be all a lie." Maki twirled her hair between her slender fingers. The room went silent, nobody knew to trust me, if i was the murder, or if i were the mastermind.

"I've been with Y/N all day." Angie frowned. "There is no way she can have time to set anything up. Especially with the student council members watching over everyone!"

"Gonta agree, there's no way!"

"If it's not Y/n, then who could it be?"

Kokichi leaned on the detective and looked up at him with a grin. Answering his question, "I still believe it's Kork!"

"We cant be 100% sure however."

"Then let's just do this," Kokichi pushed himself off the detective. Walking towards me, he smiled, "We'll have someone watching the two of them."

"Do we take shifts or....?" Rantaro asked.

"You guys can decide that, I'll Y/N first!"

"You can't just run off..." Shuichi started before Kokichi pushed me out the room. "I guess he can..."
