Everyone gathers in the guest house building and instantly notices one of the rooms has it's door blown open and hanging off the hinges. It appears Gachari was the one to find the body and as everyone takes a look into the room they can see complete devastation.

BGM: Despair Pollution

The room is charred black and filled with a strong stench of cooked meat. On the bed is a corpse that is barely recognizable with all the clothing and skin burdened and torn into different shades of the red spectrum. However as everyone gathered it is clear Aurora is the only one missing. The walls and furniture are the most damaged closer to the bed area and there are chunks of charred material littering the floor.

At this time Monozaki pops in. "Sup bitches. Looks like we FINALLY have the third death. Only took 2 weeks longer than it should have. You know the drill, here is the file."

Monozaki File:
The victim is Aurora.
The time of death is a second after midnight.
The body was found in Aurora's room in the Area 3.
Death was instantaneous.

Kai Munchausen: "I was with Aurora until she ran off, then Andy and I found the bomb was missing! You, one of you stole it! One of you! We were going to trap the next killer... and found Aiko after we heard the explosion...!"

Andy W. Hole: "Alibis, huh? As Ms. Bodyguard said, I had been with her almost the entire time. Aurora was with us too, but we had a bit of an argument and she stormed off alone. At this point it seems a bit silly to try to hide the bombs, huh? We found one and buried it. It had later been dug up while we were not watching..... Well, we will have to discuss this in detail during the trial. But yeah.... the one time that I was alone was when I was practicing botany. Kai and Aurora soon came along having been looking for me. The rest was as I said earlier."

Gachari Taku: "After I had found out the other group was hiding the bomb I decided to wait it out in the new area’s game room. Around midnight I heard an explosion so I went to go look and found the body."

Kizami Suzuya: "During free time, I remained in my room, nibbling on some snacks I saved up from day one. At the time of the murder, I was once again asleep in my guestroom."

Torasawa Aiko: "D-during free time I was just looking around the new areas. T-Then when it was night time I went back to my room in Area 1 to sleep and f-found Andy and Kai investigating Nao’s room. It l-looked like it had been blown up and they asked me to help plan a stakeout. I was with them from then until the a-announcement."

Monozaki File:
The victim is Aurora.
The time of death is a second after midnight.
The body was found in Aurora's room in the Area 3.
Death was instantaneous.

Body Description:
The body was found burnt and charred to a crisp on her bed. On the body was her key to the room and under the remains of her pillow is a broken taser presumably for self defense.

Aurora’s Room Door:
The door to the room was burnt and damaged just like the rest of the room. It was found off its hinges and on closer inspection the lock was still set.

Damage to Aurora’s Room:
Judging from the marks the source of the blast came from right beside the bed on the bedside table. The table itself is mostly destroyed now.

Chunks of Charred Wood:
There was chunks of burnt wood scattered around the floor presumably from the bedside table and any other furniture. Among the pieces some chunks of burnt totem were found.

Area 3 Rooms:
It was found that the keys each person has for their own rooms works on their rooms in area 3. There are no duplicate keys and the rooms were in the same state as the ones in area 1 were originally found.

Nao’s Area 1 Room:
It was found that Nao’s room in area 1 experienced a similar explosion earlier in the day. The damage to the room itself matches the crime scene however Nao’s two totems were found burnt in this room.

Fountain Failsafe:
It was found that when you input the wrong combination after your chances are used in the fountain puzzle an internal bomb will blow up the fountain. This bomb is irremovable.

Everyone takes their spots, the room surprisingly empty now, and Monozaki appears before you all.

"Oh poor Aurora. Woe is her.... I dunno, I already forget her shtick. Was she a hippy or something? Mental is more like it. Whatever, it's trial time baby."

(Nobody really had any issues last round so the trial will more or less be the same.)

Once again they had gathered. Aiko didn't feel like the investigation helped this time but she felt a bit more confident because of what happened before the murder.

"R-right but," she says holding her hand to her chest, "I saw Andy and Kai in front of Nao's room long before the body was found. Kai told me that they had detonated the bomb when they found out it was stolen. N-Nao's room was still smoldering when I got there so I don't think that bomb was used to kill Aurora."

"If that is the case then the bullet about the fountain interests me. The fountain in area 3 exploded as soon as I entered the building.

Kai looked uncomfortable.

"We lied. We found the bomb and buried it, because... because Aurora was acting strange. She wanted to use it as bait to catch the next killer. But we had an argument, and she... she ran off. When Andy and I went to see if the bomb was still there, the ground was disturbed. Someone had dug it up. We hesitated, but...."

Kai gritted her teeth, fists clenched angrily. "We decided... to detonate it anyway so that no one else could use it...! And we heard an explosion from Nao's room in area 1, but what if...? It was just before nighttime. The body announcement was heard a little while after, when we were planning to replace the door and stake it out to catch the one who stole it, but... the body announcement...!"

She paused. "What if WE killed Aurora?!"

Kai jumped at those words, ignoring Aiko as she usually did. A fire sparked in her, threatening to burn over. "And what were you doing in area one at the time, Kizami?! Why didn't you investigate?! Was it you?!"

Kai was also getting dangerously close to going off-topic and derailing the entire trial if this kept up. Luckily, Taku jumped in with some words of wisdom, leaving her breathing heavily and looking a little ragged, but momentarily stopped.

"I'm guessing you want an explanation. Fine, I'll tell you. I think you guys in area one are complete tools. Who in their right mind would bury something like that in the open? I bet you left somebody guarding the place too at one point. In a sort of 'hey, something important is here, come check it out!'.

You were honestly lucky it was me who found it. I hid it someplace safer. Good thing I didn't decide to stick it in my own room." Kizami shudders.

Aiko didn't want to remember the sight of the crime scene but she did her best to imagine it.

"I-I think if the culprit hid the bomb in there it wouldn't have been on the beside table. U-under the bed would be better hidden. N-not to mention she was in area 3. I-If it was me I would have thought Aurora would have gone to sleep in area 1 like normal."

"No."

Kai refuted Andy's answer immediately. "It wasn't suicide. She... she knew that we were going to detonate it when she stormed off! She was so afraid of those bombs... so why would she even thinking about locking herself in a room and placing one on the table while she laid down right next to it? If she knew that the area 3 group had somehow saved their bomb, she would never have put it right next to her head! She... she was terrified of all of you...!"

"And rightly so."

A light bulb flashed inside Aiko's head. If it wasn't suicide...

"I h-have an idea. W-what if she did put it there herself? In t-the room, there are totem chunks. But in N-nao's room they are only burnt. W-what if the bomb was inside the totem she got earlier? S-so it blew up and c-chunks went everywhere!"

"The totems...?" Kai seemed to have the same lightbulb go off. "That's... that's it! Aurora took a totem that we found in the guard room! But when could someone have switched it out...?" Kai's eyes were more suspicious than usual. It was like Aurora's paranoia had transferred itself over to Kai.

BGM: Dead One

"...Correct.

I've got something to tell you, Kai Munchausen. The bomb was meant for you. It is for that purpose that I placed it in your hobby house room.

You've signed Aurora's death warrant twice. The first time was when you allowed her to take the totem meant to kill you. And the second time... was when you scared her off by wanting to detonate the other bomb. Some bodyguard you are... You couldn't even protect the one person you held dear.

...

You know, there's nothing more terrifying than a dull death..."

Kizami grows silent.

Kai's eyes went wide with Kizami's sudden shift in tone. There was murder in them, but as he continued to speak... something else seeped in. Something she couldn't show to anyone.

Kai pulled her cap over her eyes to hide it, one hand resting on the gun on her hip. "Sh... shut up...." she hissed, her voice suddenly sounding weak. For the first time, she sounded terrified of something. She'd been able to face everything head on so far, but... not this.... Kai couldn't process it. She couldn't handle it.

Because... he was right... wasn't he...?

Kizami's words kept repeating in her head. She'd done the exact opposite of what she had promised to do. She slid her cap further down, doing everything she could to hide her expression. Further, and further yet until eventually... it fell off.

And standing there, hugging herself, was what was left of the Ultimate Bodyguard. Right now... she looked more like a terrified high school student than the immovable statue she had been before. Through it all, Andy's words barely reached her ears... but at least she heard them. At least there were other words to fight against the ones rattling around in her head.

One by one everyone hits the buttons, solemn and without comment.

"And the votes are in! Let's see the results!"

A big screen comes down and on it everyone's names are listed with the votes coming on afterwards.

"Well then, any last words?" Monozaki asks Kizami this, but he gets no response, so with a shrug the bear hits the button causing the room to go dark.

BGM: Punishment Rocket

The spotlight comes on in the distance and everyone can see Kizami has been re-positioned there. He is upright in what looks like a body cage of some sort modeled so the human body could just fit inside. It looks like one of those medieval torture devices with the metal crisscrossed in order to allow for gaps. Slowly the whole thing starts to rotate around and from the sides large chunks of wood start being raised closer to the cage. The pieces have metal spikes attached and one by one begin slamming into the cage, both attaching itself to the cage and stabbing into Kizami just enough to draw blood but not enough to kill.

One by one they get faster and faster as he continues to rotate at an increasing speed. As the cage slowly gets built up it becomes clear what is being build; a good old totem. With the make shift sarcophagus slowly leaking and being drenched in blood it finally comes to a stop as the crowning head piece slowly comes down with a nice final spike to end it all. Slowly it comes down, but at the last moment Kizami's eyes open wide and his head explodes in an engulfing blast of gore. The sound of rain sprinkles the floor from all the guts and blood left. Despite the lack of head the final piece clicks into the cage and with that the lights turn off once again.

Once the lights come back on the sight has been removed like usual and everyone is left standing around.

(As per usual the next round will take a few days to prepare. Expect the next to be the final round.)

Kai forced herself to watch. She had to. She... was responsible for this. And Aurora. Everything was her fault, and she wouldn't allow herself to look away.

But the Ultimate Bodyguard was only human. She had gone too long stretching her night patrols and failing to keep people safe. Kai collapsed on the floor in a heap.

Everyone wakes up to the usual chime of the morning announcement. After all this you almost just ignore it as you expect the usual voice of the stupid bear to come on... Or so you expected.

The silence makes you turn to the monitor and notice the bear is missing from his chair and the announcement shortly turns off without saying anything.

Without anything better to do everyone decides to meet up in the cafeteria anyway. The four of you all make it there without issue.

Aiko nervously eyed the others as Kai took her seat. She asked herself whether or not to say something to her but she had never been good at that kind of thing. Besides, something more important was on her mind.

"D-Did you guys see that announcement?"

Kai tried to get back to how she had been before. She turned her head to give her usual glare to Aiko, since ignoring her had become something of a tradition, but... Kai's eyes lacked the usual intensity. It was more like a child trying to be intimidating.

"The bear got lazy." That was all she said.

Kai took a deep breath and shook her head, barely eating. "It's the 4th round," Kai offered, deadpan.

She tossed something onto the middle of the table. It was a card key... the one that she had found in Mori's room. It was active now., and it had a message on it.

"Moonlight F0"

Aiko peeked at the key card as she threw some of the cafeteria food into her mouth.

"I-I'm okay with that." She said after swallowing. She continue to quietly think. Perhaps it leads to an escape route.

Kai followed along, trying to remain alert. Was this a trap? Was it an escape? That room Kizami had found? Kai's thoughts were a blur. "Where?" She couldn't contribute much other than single words.

Without Aurora around to give her guidance, Kai just felt... useless.

At the end of the passage everyone can see two doors. One at the end that is haphazardly covered with nailed in wooden planks. The other no different from the usual. The latter is locked. You don't see any key card slot on these doors, at least.

You check the room and find that sure enough it looks like the room you saw when you first woke up in this nightmare. Just like before the room is strangely void of color and gives off a stifling sterile feeling.

This time however you do happen to notice a small slit for a key card on the side of the black board.

You slide the card in and an audible beep is heard. After a few seconds a futuristic whoosh is heard and from the backboard a seam becomes visible.

Following this it pushes out from the wall and moves aside revealing a secret staircase heading downwards deeper into the ground.

Everyone descends the staircase and eventually it leads into a long hallway heading forwards. Like the room above the walls are white and every few meters is ceiling lamp to illuminate the way.

The first instinct is to move forward, but as everyone starts to move forward in the distance where the hallway turns the corner you see something. A silhouette of a person standing at the end. As if it notices you suddenly it darts around the corner and out of sight.

Aiko quickly passes Kai in the pursuit with thunderous foot-quakes as they run around the corner; the boys following as well but lagging behind. Around the left corner the hallway continues for a short bit until turning right. Aiko, now ahead of Kai, turns this corner and sees the end of the hall, however instead of a dead end there are a series of doors.

BGM: Darkness Time

You can see three doors, one on either side and one at the very end. Coming closer you notice the one on the end is much thicker and looks extremely sturdy. It also has some words on it. “Emergency unlock found in Labs 1 and 2. 4 terminals total, 2 in each. Must be activated at the same time.” Seems like the doors on the sides lead to labs of some sort. Eventually all four of you regroup in front of said doors.

Kai swore under her breath as Aiko passed her. Not strong enough. What if there had been a killer around the corner? Kai would've failed again.

But when they all regrouped at the doors, Kai just stared blankly. "Terminals...?" she asked to no one in particular. Unless stopped, she'd try to open the doors and see which ones were locked.

You grasp the door and yank with all your might. Your muscles bulge and the tiles crack under your feet from the force. Sadly, the door doesn't budge. Looks like this is the real deal.

>>3527
You find the door labeled "Lab 1" unlocked so you open it. Inside Lab 1 you glance over the area briefly and can see a number of desks and walls with pinned medical scans and blueprints and other documents thrown over the desks. To the left and right are two doors that lead into other rooms.

>>3528
Taku takes hold of the other door and also opens it. Lab 2 has the same layout, however the contents differ. The main room instead has mechanic parts and large boxes of electronic material on the desks. This room also has walls with blueprints but they look more for traditional architecture. He too can't see much from here but the layout is the same.

"Hmmah! N-no use..." Aiko mumbles to herself. She has a slightly disappointed look on her face. For once her one talent was useless.

However this is only for a moment. Soon after she raises her head with determination and walks into Lab 2 to see if she can see what the other rooms are.
