Chained Hope: Scrum Debate

## Chapter 1: Ren isn't the killer v. Ren is the killer

Scrum Debate Sides: Chapter 1

HM Kuma (IH): "Go on, orange team, don't be shy!"

Shinogi [OPH]: "Kaito, start us off!"

Kaito [Chad]: "It's obvious why Ren isn't the culprit! My bro and Koko have all the proof we need! And I have the belief in them that we can reach the truth!"

Setsuka (IH): "Nik! You're up!"

Nikei(Pancake): "<Belief> won't help here, we have as much evidence against him as you do for him if not more."

Shinogi [OPH]: "Ren!"

Ren Shirogane: " It is still impossible, I was the one who set the fireworks, I could've have not done it, nor approach the murder, no matter what the evidence says, this fact will still stand. "

Setsuka (IH): "Aki, you can do this!"

Harukawa [OPH]: "No matter what you think, you still <helped> contribute to the murder! This makes you just as much as a killer as the real one!"

Shinogi [OPH]: "Rin!"

M. Rin: "Have you forgotten that his <trap> failed? With that said, the real killer must've used his attempt as an opportunity to pin it on him!"

Setsuka (IH): "I'll handle this."

Setsuka (IH): "We can't even know if Ren was telling the truth about his <trap>, it's shaky to go off of at best!"

Shinogi [OPH]: "My turn!"

Shinogi [OPH]: "The <evidence> doesn't point towards Ren, just look at his alibi and behaviours throughout everything. He wants us to believe he's the killer. Trust me, he isn't."

Setsuka (IH): "Go for it, Kane!"

Akane Taira: "Ren knowing about the food going to Sannoji-san room is <evidence> enough he was involved!"

Shinogi [OPH]: "Let's hear you sing, Ibuki!"

Ibuki | min: "- though she really hates bringing this up, the firework plan don't directly make him a killer do they? They've got nothing to do with the crime scene!"

Setsuka (IH): "You can do it, Saya!"

Sayaka(Salad): Even if he did make the plans for the <fireworks> it doesn't matter at all right?Besides we have more evidence!

Shinogi [OPH]: "Akamine, let's hear it!"

Akamine: "My apologies but Mr. Shirogane is not the only one with a lack of <alibi> which means someone that also spent time alone had the time to prepare the killing scene."

Setsuka (IH): "I'll handle it from here!"

Setsuka (IH): "But everyone else has an <alibi> because they didn't know food was being made for Kado."

Shinogi [OPH]: "Finish us off Kokoro!"

Kokoro Mitsume: "Simply put the <motive> we received wouldn't have affected Ren. There is nothing monokuma could blackmail him with. Therefore, he couldn't be the killer in this case."

Setsuka (IH): "C'mon, Kankan!"

Mikan: "Even thought Ren may not be driven by Monokuma's Motive he had a personal <motive> to carry on with a murder."

[Crouch... BIND... SET!]

[Full counter!]

Setsuka (IH): "This is our answer!"

Mikan: "This is our answer!"

Harukawa [OPH]: "This is our answer!"

Sayaka(Salad): This is our answer!

Akane Taira: "This is our answer!"

Nikei(Pancake): "This is our answer!"

## Chapter 2:

Scrum Debate Sides: Chapter 2

Monokuma (IH): "Ahem, now that our intermission is over..."

Monokuma (IH): "...We can let the games begin!"

Monokuma (IH): "Well, this one at least..."

Monokuma (IH): [Scrum Debate Leaders:] [Orange Team: Keiji Shinogi] [Blue Team: Yuki Maeda.]

Shinogi [OPH]: "Sorry bro.."

Monokuma (IH): [Scrum Debate Begin!]

Shinogi [OPH]: "Akane!"

Akane Taira: "Maeda-kun was attack from behind inside the storage room. This proves his  <Innocence>! The one that attacked him is the real culprit."

Yuki (IH): "Sayaka!"

Sayaka(Salad): ""We don't have any proof that proves Yuki's< innocence> right?He even admits his guilt!"

Shinogi [OPH]: "We'll see about that, my turn!"

Shinogi [OPH]: "We have to remember Yuki's injuries and everything, the <confession> was only said because of the fight. He only believes what has been told to him. Come on now, the man is innocent."

Yuki (IH): "Nikei!"

Nikei(Pancake): "He gave his <confession> of his own memory, and provided an explanation to go with it. He has no reason to lie here."

Shinogi [OPH]: "Alright, Setsuka!"

Setsuka (IH): "We need to discuss the <crime scene> itself to see if there's any other possibility. Voting now doesn't seem right at all!"

Yuki (IH): "Mikan!"

Mikan: "Ren's body and Yuki were already at the <crime scene>. Up until we found it, this case is basically only between the two!"

Shinogi [OPH]: "Kaito, take it away bro."

Kaito [Chad]: "Clearly someone tried <framing> my bro! He was knocked out from behind and couldn't kill Ren like that! Someone took advantage of that and tried to pass it off as him!"

Yuki (IH): "I-I can handle this!"

Yuki (IH): "This wasn't <framing>! You believe me, don't you? I did it, and nobody could have even framed me or anything."

Shinogi [OPH]: "Maki!"

Harukawa [OPH]: "It's obvious someone else is the killer in this case! I know I heard a scream that was in there with Yuki and Ren, which means anyone here could've had the opportunity to mess with <Ren's Body>!"

Yuki (IH): "Rin!"

C. Rin: "Funny how \*you\* talk about messing with the body. Nonetheless, whether the other person messed with <Ren's body> matters little if they didn't directly attack him while he was alive, just like Yuki did."

Shinogi [OPH]: "Kokoro, finish this off!"

Kokoro: "While Yuki did stab Ren from the front. I believe the true <cause of death> was the second stab wound to Ren's back. And since Yuki was unconscious at the time he can not be the killer."

Yuki (IH): "Nori!"

'Nori': "I don't think there's anything that can backup your argument there, comrade. The Monopad's statement is pretty vague, which means the frontal wound is just as likely to be the <cause of death>."

Monokuma (IH): [Crouch... bind... set!]

Monokuma (IH): [Full counter!]

'Nori': "This is our answer!"

C. Rin: "THIS IS OUR ANSWER!"

Yuki (IH): "This is our answer!"

Nikei(Pancake): "This is our answer!"

Sayaka(Salad): "This is our answer!"

Mikan: "This is our answer!"
