[After being shoved back in her room she turned right around, indignant.]

You've got to be kidding me! I didn't break any rule! I am not 'exploring the school,' I'm 'confirming alibis' you rabid little freaks!

[POUND POUND POUND on the door.]

Give me back my duct tape!!

[She pounded on the door to her room a little more, before realizing it was hopeless...]

Hm.

[Her attention fell to her nightstand, which she discovered hid a hole to the next room behind it.]

Hey... who's there?

[Maybe she could confirm one alibi with this. It would be easier than putting her ear to the wall and listening to them breathe.]

Comments

[very_good_end]

You mean with your generic description you gave of him. [scoffs] Your description could have included more precise height managements, hair styles, vocal tics... etcetera.

Hm. So his personality is that of a people-pleaser? That is in line with my own interactions as well.

Let us move on...

I made the acquaintance of one Kurosaki Ichigo-san. He immediately set himself apart by his orange hair and antagonistic demeanor. Yes, his first words on request for an introduction were an intent to frighten me with a threat that I could possibly be killed. --Of course, that is not true. At least, not before certain conditions are met.

He then declared that he would not stoop to commit murder... unless he could justify it was self-defense.

What do you make of such a person, Futayo-san?

[cluelesscavewoman]

Akechi-dono also brunt most of the books in the library. He did not wish to leave any. Without using force, I was unable to make him leave.

Ichigo-dono was upset at the library being burnt because the only undamaged books were porn...

When I asked why, he turned a strange colour and said it relates to sex. He then started talking about children.

Overall, I would say he is the type that has trouble speaking with others.

[very_good_end]

...Wait, what?

Hold on, why was Akechi-san burning books?

[cluelesscavewoman]

He did not say. Though a lot of people were worried about them due to the information they contained.

[very_good_end]

What information? Was there something there besides ordinary library books?

Anyone who would destroy information... especially by burning... is automatically suspicious.

[cluelesscavewoman]

The books had infomation about where each of us were from. The one I found that spoke of Mikawa and Musashi in too great of detail to have been guessed.

There was even a map of Musashi in the part I read.

[very_good_end]

Hm... in other words, Akechi-san has something to hide.

And he's so desperate to hide it, he would risk burning that part of the building and possible carbon monoxide poisoning.

Curious. Very curious indeed.

[cluelesscavewoman]

Some of the others had taken their books out the library before he had done it... I should have got the ones about Musashi. They would have been of use to the others.

[very_good_end]

Would they? ...How so?

[It did make her curious what would've been said about her, at least.]

[cluelesscavewoman]

I am not sure why the others took them. But the ones I found confidential a lot of confedental information.

[very_good_end]

Confidential enough to murder someone to keep them quiet, Futayo-san?

[cluelesscavewoman]

Most of the information regarding Musashi had already been disclosed. It has lead to us going to war.

The information about other countries' political and economic status would have been of use to Masazumi and the treasurer.

[very_good_end]

...Sounds like the answer is: "Yes," then, to the right people.

[cluelesscavewoman]

[Shrugs.]

It is not my place to decide that.

[very_good_end]

Isn't it? You may find it decided for you, in that case.

At any rate, we've established the information in the library is very personal. Akechi-san took it upon himself to raze it... either because of whatever information was personally available about him, or perhaps, a form of altruism? "This is information no one should know about anyone, so I'm going to burn it all to protect everyone's privacy." --I wonder if he'll have the wits to claim that.

[gives a short little laugh.]

Which do you think is more likely?

[cluelesscavewoman]

Why would he burn all the books instead of just his own? It would have been easier and upset less people.

[very_good_end]

You can't think of a reason? My first inclination is that it was to cover his tracks... is that he did this extremely common knowledge?

[a slight pause, before she strikes her palm with her fist.]

Ah! Or perhaps... there is another person's book in that library who he also wanted to destroy? That is a possibility too.

...Of course, it's also possible Akechi-san is some reckless fool and doesn't care how much destruction he causes, or who notices.

Which is most likely in your opinion, Futayo-san?

[cluelesscavewoman]

But could he not have found his book and destroyed it with no one knowing? Instead he drew attention to himself because people wanted to see if it was safe.

...He does not seem like the sort who acts without thinking.

[very_good_end]

Hm. It depends on the size and volume of the work, I suppose... A small pamphlet, certainly. An encyclopedia-like set? Most likely not.

Even then, it seems an extreme. One questions what other sorts of extreme behavior this Akechi-san will take before our time here is done.

[cluelesscavewoman]

Jud. The books I found that spoke of home were that large that I was unable to read a whole volume before they were destroyed.

[very_good_end]

...Seriously?

[cluelesscavewoman]

Jud. They documented everything regarding the Harmonic Unification War till the current time period.
