After saying 'Come in',the person entered the classroom.

"You can sit to that chair,Hiten-san."

I said as I point out the vacant chair in front of us.

"By the way,is Yahiro-san already wake up?."

"Not yet.Sensei said that the principal is still there in the principal office,waiting for her to wake up.But why did you asked,Tomozuki-

kun?.

"Ah nothing.I'm just worried.It's not normal anymore.Maybe there is really something bad to her."

"I'm not sure about that."

"What do you mean?."

Hmmm.What did Hiten-san mean by that?.

Anyways,Yahiro-san was supposed next to Kanakura-san to be inteview.But it seems like it will take a while for her to wake up.Anyways,what did Hiten-san mean by that?.

"Anyways,I never thought that the place of the the crime scene will be also the place where we will gonna do this interview.Are you the one who suggest this,Tomozuki-kun?."

"Yeah.Well,I mean there's no other place to choose so I ended up here."

"We still have the canteen,right?.

"Oh come to think of it,your right.I'm sorry for being an idiot."

Hiten-san sighed after saying that.Well since we already here,let's not bother ourselves to change location anymore.

"Anyways,let's proceed to your story,Hiten-san.

Although it feels like there is nothing to be say anymore from you."

Not me,but Ayumi-san is the one who said that.It seems like she really taking this her role as her assistant.Honestly,I want to talk to Hiten-san for a little bit longer for something but since we need to solve this case as soon as possible,we must not waste any time.

On the other hand,I didn't really understand what she said to Hiten-san just now

"That's right.Suzuki-san.Because I only stayed up inside the storage room for the entire time until the the earthquake happens."

Ah.I understand now.

"Well well Hiten-san,can you at least tell the exact details on what did you do inside the storage room?.In the first place,why are you in the storage room?." I asked.

"Well,I couldn't find a better place than storage room."

"But we still have the canteen you know?."

"Is that so?.Well sorry for being an idiot."

"So we are in the same page afterall!."

Well not really.She was a real genius while I'm a legit idiot.But why these geniuses always the one who come with the strangest ideas?.

"Joke aside,please proceed to your own story,

Hiten-san."

"Okay.Just like I said,after arriving at the school,Suzuki-san asked me if possible,I go outside for a while since she is still busy on decorating the classroom.Also,Suzuki-san asked me if I can help her in creating some 'heart-shaped design' since Sumire-san is still not arriving at the school."

"By the way,is Yahiro-san already here when you arrived?." I interject

"No,not yet.But I think she came here some minutes after I arrive."

"Thank you.Please continue."

"So after accepting Suzuki-san order,I ended up at the storage room.Aside from the answer I gave earlier,the reason why I chose that place is because no one will gonna bother me."

"Bother you?."

"In studying."

"Well...okay."

"What's with that reaction?."

I paused for a bit to choose the correct words I will tell.And then when I finally come up with my reply,I supposed to answer her,but Ayumi-san suddenly spoke up.

"You really love studying don't you,Hiten-san?."

"Of course.It was my only strength.I couldn't do well in extracurricular activities and I couldn't even made a friend.That's why I study hard."

"Well that was good thing to hear but you must not push yourself.Remember that there is always a limit on everything." I said.

"I know that.You don't need to remind me."

Well if she understands then be it.Let's just talk about this matter after this.But for now,let's focus to the story.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

"Anyways,let's continue,Hiten-san." said by Ayumi-san.

"That's right.Of course,I cut some heart-

shaped designs.And after some time,Suzuki-

san come to collect the designs.She also said that it was already okay,as I don't need to cut anymore.After that,I go back on studying."

"Wait Hiten-san.You just study there straight?.Without resting your eyes?."

I interject while in the middle of her explanation.I'm just wondering if she rest at least for some time because reading a book straight can hurt our eyes.That's why I always taking a break after I reading one or two chapters in novels.Specifically,I look around for some minutes to recover.

"Of course,I'm resting.And come to think,it seems like I need to say that....."

"What did you mean?."asked by Ayumi-san.

"What a coincidence,Suzuki-san.Actually when I took a break from studying,I stood up and look on the window to rest my eyes.And when I look down,I saw you coming outside from the restroom."

Okay,that's another new information.At the same time,that also mean Ayumi-san really go to the restroom.Now she has totally a solid alibi now.

"I was not supposed to say that cause I thought that was not l really relevant from this interview but since Tomozuki-kun bring up the topic of 'taking a break' then maybe there's nothing wrong to revealed it you."

"Thank you very much.Actually,that information really help is a lot,specially in the case of Ayumi-san."

"Really?.Then that's good to hear."

"But you should still said that even though I didn't bring up that topic,Hiten-san.Because everyone testimony can prove other's innocence afterall."

"Well,sorry for that."

That's just what I learn from reading mystery novels.But even she didn't said,we will just asked her again until we squeeze out every possible information she have.

"Anyways,continue again with your story,

Hiten-san." said by Ayumi-san.

"Well,after resting for a bit of course,I go back again on studying.And that's when Irina-san suddenly enter the room."

"Entered?." I inteject

"Yes.Oh but before that,Tsujinaka-san also enter and asked if there were spare chairs in the storage room.I said to her that there was none.Then she immediately left.Okay going back to Irina-san,I asked her what she need in the storage room but she just said she just want to finish reading her novel inside.And just like you,she also aksed me why and what I'm doing in the storage room.Of course,I also gave the same answer as you.Then the conversation finally ended there.We both mind our own businesses then the eathquake happen.Then after it stopped,I saw that she already lying on the floor,unconcius.I tried to wake her up many times but she is not answering.That's when I rush towards to the basketball court to asked for help.You already know what happens after that."

After some time,Hiten-san finally ended her story.I see.So Yahiro-san enters the storage room.I thought she will only gonna stay in the corridor.I already think this many times,but I know that these can become a good friends.There must be a reason why Yahiro-san do that.

What's more,Reina-san asked some chairs?.

Maybe I should asked her about that later.

"Anyways,did you see something fell to Yahiro-

san while the earthquake is happening,Hiten-

san?." asked by Ayumi-san.

"Unfortunately,I couldn't really clarify that since I immediately hid under the table and it was shaking so badly that I couldn't see properly anymore,to the point that my glasses fell off."

"I see.It seems like we need to asked Yahiro-san herself later."

I hope she wake up immediately.We really need her story as of now.Meanwhile,Hiten-san continue.

"But I can at least assure to you that no one knock her down while the earthquake is happening.Although that would be a scenario that is unlikely to happen."

What I mean about this part is that I thought

someone,or it should I say,the culprit,knocked her down while she in the corridor,to remove her as an eyewitness.But since she enters the storage room,there's no need to knocked her down anymore.As it just gives more opportunity to the culprit to sneak and kill Chinatsu-san in the classroom.

Anyways,I'm still wondering on what really happened to Yahiro-san.

"Well that's the story of mine.You can asked any question from me that may help you to your investigation."

Oh.She said any right?.Alright,I will take this opportunity.

"If that's the case,what is your bust size,Hiten-

san?."

"Not interested."

"But you just said I can asked any questions,right?."

"I said as long as it will help you in to your investigation."

"But it is really part of our interview."

"Then answer this question first;How on earth will the size of someone's breast will help us to find out the culprit?."

"Well..."

I couldn't answer.Or it's more like I couldn't tell her the reason.I thought I can easily asked her about this but it seems like that was not the case.

"Well if you don't want to ans-"

"D."

"D cup?."

"That's right."

"Okay.Thank you very much for answering."

"You recover so fast,don't you?."

"Well I heard the 'letters' I needed.And this is your true size,Hiten-san.No lies?."

"If you don't want to believe then forget it."

Meanwhile,I wrote down that information and the important points from her story.Then after writing,I asked the same question I asked to others.

"Anyways,how do you feel now,Hiten-san,now that Chinatsu-san is already gone?."

"Of course I was sad.It ws too sudden and unxpected.Isn't also the same for everyone?."

"Well,that's right."

We may say different opinions and words but one fact stays the same;All of us,of course except from the culprit was sad for this sudden tragic event.

"Last question,Hiten-san.What are the chances that I'm one who killed Chinatsu-san?."

"Hmmmm..."

She paused and think for a bit,then finally spoke up.

"Maybe twenty to thirty percent.I know that you have a solid alibi and I can't think a motive from you but you are still not totally free from suspicion."

"Then how about you?.How much the chances tha you might the one who committed the crime?."

Hiten-san was suprised a bit for that question,just like the other two earlier.

"Zero.I have no reason to kill Aina-san."

"That's it.Thank you very much for answering my stupid questions."

"Well as long as it was related to the investigation,that's all that matters."

"By the way,whose next,Ayumi-san?."

I turned to my right as I asked that question.

"I saw Onodera-san and Tachibana-san at the same time.Who would you like to go first?."

I see.If that's the case.

"After you go back,please tell Onodera-san that she was next one to be interview here,Hiten-san."

"I understand."

After that,she finally left the classroom.

Meanwhile,I asked Ayumi-san.

"What do you think,Ayumi-san.Did you believe when she said she didn't know what really happen to Yahiro-san?."

"What did you mean?."

"Well there is a possibiliy that she is one who knocked Yahiro-san before even the earthquake happens,go towards the classroom and kill Chinatsu-san and go back again to the storage room like nothing happen."

Ayumi-san thinks first and analyze my quick theory I just said.And after some time,she said.

"That was a good theory but there are some plot holes.First,it's like you're saying that she lying about her not going ouside for the whole time,but for me,I think she was telling the truth about that.Second if she is really lying,why she need to knock down Yahiro-san in the first place if she can just prented to go somewhere else?."

I was sudden surprised with her reasoning.I didn't expect that kind of explantion fron her.

"Well you're right,your right.Anyways,let's focus to this next person."

At the end,I couldn't help but to agreed to her and reject that theory of mine.
