Well.... the entries this time were a merry bunch. There was the foreigner that had been the talk of the school for a while, there were also some people from her own and some first years as well, one of which surprised Hiiragi a lot after she started saying that she felt an evil presence in the room. Perhaps she was more sensible than the others, or maybe just more dramatic? In any case, taht was soon cleared and Hiiragi caught up into the joke after she started pointing at her. It was a good thing that she didn't show any hope in her face after seeing her, otherwise, it would've been obvious just how disappointed she now was.
They were definitely a merry bunch, and Hiiragi hoped that they kept on with their merriness in what was to come. And that guy Gael? Definitely a guy that would get on her nerves no matter what. Well, it was time for their taste. Hiiragi stood up from the chair she was sitting in, running a hand by her hair and staring at the little group that had gathered in the club room. 7 people in total. She would've like two more but it was all right like that. More than enough. Maybe some to sacrifice as well.... Yeah, she should keep that joke to herself.
"It is a pleasure to meet you all, despite of whether you actually want to be here or not. Now, let's get on going with this meeti-" Before she could end, though another person strolled into the room. A girl with blue hair and with a PS Vita between her hands. She hit the buttons furiously as she played. She walked into the room and simply leaned against a wall, without saying anything else. Hiiragi, at the very least, looked at her with confusion. After a while of feeling the girl's gaze on her, Hyouka finally sighed and left her game aside.
She looked at everyone else and lazily introduced herself.
"Fujino Hyouka. A pleasure to meet ya all. I'm here cause I want to solve mysteries and crap like that." And after that, she went on with her game.
Hiiragi simply shook her head and went on with what she wanted to say.
"Anyhow, let's get the meeting under way. As the new members of the Mystery Solving Club, I shall have you undertake a test. You will solve this school's first mystery, which I am plenty sure all of you know of, at least by name. Shall you fail to do this, I will not allow you to stay in the club. After that too, will be the last opportunity you will have to back off from this club, if you don't like what you see there." Hiiragi said, trying to be as clear and concise as possible.
"You shall investigate throughout the school at your own content to find whatever clues you think are necessary. After that, we shall meet in front of this classroom at midnight. Opening the door at that time is strictly forbidden, though." "Then, gather clues, prepare yourselves and make sure to bring an extra pair of underpants. Tonight, you will not receive any assistance from me." Hiiragi took her bag and put it on her shoulder. She then walked to the exit of the classroom, not before looking back at the others and sighing.
"That said, I am not the devil. I've left my notebook with everything you need to know in a certain place. It is a simple notebook, if a little bit worn out. If you have enough common sense, I'm pretty sure you'll know where to search. Have fun." With a little wave, Hiiragi said goodbye and made her way out of school. If anyone were to check on her through the door, they'd find nothing, as if she had disappeared in thin air.
Hyouka stopped playing once she started hearing what Hiiragi had to say. Well, it seemed everything would be more entertaining than she expected. She decided to stay in the room to investigate.
NOTE: You need to go to one of these locations to search for clues. Once there, I shall explain where you can search and what you can find. I will also let you know what will be useful as clues. Yeah, if any of you played Danganronpa, you'll see that this system is fairly similar.
