Desolation
Oni had watched this entire trial with a smile on its face. Only when Mashiro said those words, were when it showed its teeth.
And the ever ominous and bone chilling laughter of the demon arose.
“Mwaha... Mwahahaha.... MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” It roared at the group of students.
“So... You all... Finally got here...” The Oni still has its creepy as hell smile on its face.
“It took you... This long...? I would have thought... It would be sooner... Mashiro Naitou...” The Oni placed special interest on the poor Chessmaster’s name.
“Now... You all... Expect a vote...? Don’t you...?” The Oni asked what to you sounds a completely rhetorical question.
“Well... Sadly... You won’t get... That satisfaction...”
What? But Mashiro was the one who killed her...
“Bound by my rules... I can’t kill him...” The Oni looked disappointed by this, but you are wondering why.
“This wasn’t... A premeditated murder... As the boy said.... It was... Self defense...”
Thinking back on it... The Oni has a point. This is the first self defense case you all have had.... What does that though...?
“However...”
Oh boy.
“However... I can kill him... For another reason...” And ever so slowly does the Oni’s smile return.
“For he may not... Have done that acts... Himself...” Now its teeth were bore again.
“He is the cause of them...”
What?!?!
“Because Mashiro Naitou...” The emphasis is placed once again on his name as the Oni turns and stares directly into Mashiro’s eyes.
“You were the one who brought them here.”
You could feel your heart at the statement.
Does that mean...?
No...
It can’t be...
“YOU ARE THE MASTERMIND!” The Oni stated with a howl at Mashiro, whose eyes were widening and a cold sweat forming on his forehead.
So it is true...
Now what to do...?
