Mayuko: i''m really, really grateful


    Anonymous: enough of that already


    Anonymous: you''ve been thanking me for a while


    Anonymous: you even thanked me at school, so there''s no need to thank me anymore


    Mayuko: but still


    Mayuko: thank you


    Mayuko: since it was all my fault


    Mayuko: even though everyone seemed to enjoy the murder scene


    Mayuko: since it''s that sort of script


    Anonymous: just don''t follow up with "i''m sorry"


    Mayuko: i''m sorry


    Mayuko: oh


    Anonymous: everything''s been taken care of


    Anonymous: though it didn''t end up as the movie you had hoped for


    Anonymous: what''s important is that it''s been completed


    Mayuko: don''t say that


    Anonymous: which line were you responding to?


    Mayuko: oh, i meant, the part about it not ending up as i hoped for


    Mayuko: what i would hope for most


    Mayuko: would be for everyone to go hurrah in the end


    Anonymous: really, you''re so easy to read


    Mayuko: hmm?


    Anonymous: nothing


    A.ta.shi?: seems like you got things sorted out


    Anonymous: all thanks to you, sempai


    A.ta.shi?: why you''re welcome. glad to be at your service


    Anonymous: though i feel sorry for him


    Anonymous: for doing something like that to him


    A.ta.shi?: you really think so?


    Anonymous: really what?


    A.ta.shi?: as in you''re really sorry towards him


    Anonymous: since you''re on the other side of the world


    Anonymous: i felt like bluffing


    A.ta.shi?: lol, figures


    A.ta.shi?: but you know?


    Anonymous: yes?


    A.ta.shi?: you''ve lied to me as well, haven''t you?


    A.ta.shi?: so you keep your trap shut!


    Anonymous: i, lied?


    A.ta.shi?: that''s right. you shouldn''t manipulate people on the other side of the world


    A.ta.shi?: especially me


    A.ta.shi?: just kidding


    Anonymous: i wasn''t really lying


    A.ta.shi?: you wanted to protect the girl who did the script, which is why you asked me for help, right?


    A.ta.shi?: in other words, the problem lies with the script, right?


    A.ta.shi?: you knew i would reject solving such a hopeless problem


    A.ta.shi?: yet you still wanted to protect her


    A.ta.shi?: you sure know how to help yourself under the pretext of helping someone else


    A.ta.shi?: though it seems that idiot still hasn''t realized


    Anonymous: sempai


    Anonymous: my priority has always been to ensure the success of the project


    Anonymous: sempai?


    A.ta.shi? has logged out


    Houtaru: will this be fine?


    L: yes, this is good


    L: you''ve got a strange username


    Houtaru: i misspelled "houtarou", but correcting it is too bothersome, so


    Houtaru: yet this feels strange


    Houtaru: my last access time was only just now


    L: huh?


    L: oreki-san, is this the first time you''ve usd this?


    L: used this?


    Houtaru: maybe


    Houtaru: oh well


    L: so what was the script that hongou-san had envisioned?


    L: oreki-san?


    Houtaru: no, i''ll do it


    Houtaru: since i didn''t ask her, i''ll just have to speculate


    Houtaru: if kaitou didn''t die, then there would be no sealed room


    L: even without the role of the cameraman?


    Houtaru: you sure can be mean, you know? first, the killer is kounosu, she came in via the window


    L: eh? but isn''t the window?


    Houtaru: there''re two control room windows, either one''s fine


    Houtaru: using a rope, kounosu climbed into one of the control room windows


    Houtaru: she then stabbed kaitou


    Houtaru: though it was not enough to kill him


    Houtaru: she then used the rope to return to the second floor


    Houtaru: she then walked down the stairs to the lobby as though nothing happened


    L: after getting stabbed by kounosu-san


    L: kaitou said to her


    L: why did she stab him


    L: by any chance, maybe she wasn''t aiming to kill him


    L: so kaitou-san decided to cover for kounosu-san


    L: as kounosu-san returned to the 2nd floor, he returned to the right stage


    L: huh? but how does that explain the wounds?


    Houtaru: by the way, there''s something i''d like to ask


    L: yes, what is it?


    Houtaru: this might be my imagination, but


    Houtaru: didn''t you yourself realize one answer from all this?


    L: eh?


    L: but i didn''t solve anything


    L: why do you say that?


    Houtaru: the three from class 2-F plus me


    Houtaru: you were convinced by none of our deductions


    Houtaru: this is so unlike you. does that have something to do with your resonance with hongou?


    L: oh, i see


    L: let''s see, it''s because i think hongou-san and i are alike


    Houtaru: ?


    L: oh, this is a bit embarrassing


    L: so please don''t laugh


    L: truth is


    L: i don''t like stories where people die
