"So after you left,Hashimoto-san,me and Kanakura-san continued decorating the classroom.I visited Yahiro-san to asked the task I given to her.Specifically,about the heart-

shaped design that I ordered her to do.I also visited Hiten-san in the storage room since I also gave her the same task as Yahiro-san.

Then go back again to classroom.Uhmm,can you follow what I'm saying,Hashimoto-san?."

Suddenly,Ayumi-san stopped explaining to consult me.

"Yes.But you are in perfect timing,Ayumi-san since I want you to asked immediately one question.Why is Hiten-san in the storage room?.Or should I say,why she is working there?."

That's quite bothering me.She can do that outside just like Yahiro-san.

"Well I actually asked her about that.She just said 'Don't worry,Ayumi-san.I can manage myself here.As long as I did that task you gave to me,there is no problem isn't?' something like that.Since she was right,I just left her after getting the heart-shaped designs."

Well if that's the case,then I couldn't dig further more from Ayumi-san.Maybe I will just ask Hiten-san herself later.On the other hand,I wrote down all the main details to Chinatsu-san notebook.

"Anyways,you still do something after that?."

"Yes."

"Then please continue."

"Okay.As I go back to the classroom,me and Kanakura-san just continue on working.And we finally finished,I said to Kanakura-san that she could go now somewhere since we already done decorating.But she said she doesn't have something to do,so I suggested to her if we could do some paintings in the hallway on the first floor.She happily agreed to me so we go down,get a table,cardboards and paints.Anyways,did you have any questions so far,Hashimoto-kun?."

She stopped again and consult me.But so far,there is no weird or something I couldn't understand from her explanation.

"None.please continue again."

"Then after painting some pictures,Kanakura-

san accidentally dropped a cup of painting to my clothes.Of course,she got panic and immediately apologize.But since a part of my uniform got stained,I say I will just have to

wear new.So I go again to the classroom to get my spare uniform.Then I go to restroom and changed.Then after that,I go back again to Kanakura-san.Then after some time,the earthquake occurs.Of course after that eathquake,I go to the open court."

Finally,the long explanation had ended.So far,there is no suspicious thing from what she did.Furthermore,she has a solid alibi before and after the earthquake.

By the way,maybe I forgot to tell it,but the restroom can be located at the back of this building.The restroom covered the window on the spare room that's why it's so hot when we gathered earlier there.I'm wondering if they still okay there right now.

Actually since it was an all-girls school,the restroom here is just of course,for girls only to use.(The principal is also a woman).But my enrollment here made things a little bit complicated so they create a seperate restroom for me.And it was also located in the back of this building near the girl's restroom.

"Did you have any questions,Hashimoto-kun?."

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

I paused for a bit to think something to asked her.After some time,I finally come out at least one or two.

"Are you always bringing a spare uniform,

Ayumi-san?."

"Uhhmmm actually not everyday.I just started bringing one since the preparation for the Valentines Day starts."

"And the color of the paint that stained your uniform?."

"Uhhhmm.It was color blue."

"I see."

"Why did you asked that,Hashimoto-san?."

"Ah.No,I'm just curious."

Hmmm.Okay.Nothing really special about that question.So let's go to the serious ones.

"Did you meet someone when you go back to the classroom?."

"Ah.I forgot to tell that.I actually met Onodera-san and Tachibana-san on the stairs.Of course,they move themselves a little bit to gave a path for me to walk.Also when I come out from the restroom,coincidentally,I saw Reina-san.Also going on the restroom.

That's all."

"I see.Onodera-san,Tachibana-san and Reina-

san.I will ask them later if you are telling the truth,Ayumi-san."

"Are you not believing my words,Hashimoto-

kun?."

"Well,not that I'm doubting but I just need a confirmation from others."

I can accused you as the murderer,including myself.

After that,a short silence had fell between us.I actually just about to asked her about who she met in the restroom but she already answers that before I could even ask.But so far,I will just take her words.

"To tell you the truth,I going to asked you four questions which is not really related to you testimony but can help me to solve this case.

And take note that I will also these to others."

"Really?!.Then I will glady to answer those."

I look down to the small notebook first,since I kinda hesitating to ask these questions.Then after some time,I finally spoke up.

"What is the size of your breast?.In cups please."

"That's a joke right?."

"No joke."

I answer her with a serious tone.Then added to her.

"Don't worry.Didn't I tell you that this will help me to solve the case?."

"Well if you say so.Then it's C cup."

"I see.Thank you very much."

I wrote that information to the small notebook.Then proceed to asked the second question.

"What are the chances that I might be the culprit for this murder,Ayumi-san?."

"You?.It's zero.There's no way you will kill Chinatsu-san."

"Thank you for trusting me but how about you?."

"The same.Zero.I have no reason to kill her."

"Is that so."

Well,I already expect that answer.

"Now for the last qu-"

"Say,Hashimoto-kun."

"Hmmm?."

Ayumi-san suddenly called me when I'm about her the last question.It seems like she want to say something but kinda hesisting to say it.

"How do you feel right now?.Are you okay?."

"You mean when I volunteer myself to find out the culprit?."

"Not that.What I mean is about what happen to Chinatsu-san."

"Ah."

I now understand what she mean.I think for while.After some time,I spoke up.

"To be honest,I hate this.This case.To tell you the truth,I'm not really afraid of murders.But to think that someone will kill an innocent girl like Chinatsu-san,I think that was something I couldn't accept.That was unfair.This world is not really equal,isn't?."

"That's...right."

"How about you,Ayumi-san.How do you feel?."

"I have the same opinion with you.I remember when me and Chinatsu-san just working together on the painting and happily chatting to each other yesterday.And to think she is gone now,it feels unreal."

A silence had fell to us after that conversation.Actually,the last question I'm about to asked her is about how she feel about Chinatsu-san's death.But it feels like she gave me a much better opportunity to asked it to her.Anyways,it's time to proceed to other person.

"That's it,Ayumi-san.Thank you very much for answering those questions.For now,let's call the next person."

"That's right.But who will be the next one to be interview?."

"Hmmmmm."

Actually,I don't exactly who I will call next.But if that's the case.

"Let just go to person you met first since after I left the classroom,Ayumi-san"

Honestly,there is no real meaning who will gonna interview first.But since we will gonna ask them one-by-one,we need at least to have a chronological order for which is we called out here first.Anyways,Ayumi-san answers me.

"The person I met first....Then that should Chi-"

She stopped immediately.I know the name who will she gonna say.But that person is not alive anymore.

"I'm sorry.It should be Kanakura-san."

"Then Ayumi-san,could you please call her out here?."
