As Naegi ran out of the room, he removed his phone from his pocket and ducked into another empty classroom. Dialing some numbers, he called a rather important person.
"Everything is set up. This'll buy us at least 20 minutes. Is that enough to do what you need to do?" After having a small conversation with the other person on the line, he hung up and headed towards the school exit. Everything would be fine for the day and he was no longer needed. With a small grin, he walked right out the doors of the rather impressive school and left, blending in with all the students in the off chance that Kirigiri escaped without solving the puzzle.
"Time to go scope out my new apartment I suppose."
With Kirigiri, she was currently still in the locked room. Giving the room a thorough inspection, she came to a few conclusions. At the other door was a digital number reading installed onto it that read 106+4. On the ground near the door was a silver plate and when she stepped on it, a number read 106. Inspecting the door once more, there was a keyhole right about the doorknob. She looked up and also noticed a camera that was focusing intently on the area. Going back to the middle of the room, she found a note on a desk.
'The key is in one of these cakes. Have fun.' Reading it over just in case there was a secret message to it, she gave a glance over to all the cakes in the room. Piecing together all the clues in the room, it became quite clear to her. The number on the door represented her weight, the four represented how much heavier she needed to be to leave, due to the scale on the ground. Since the key was a factor, both would be needed to leave the room. Due to the camera aimed at the door, she wouldn't be able to cheat either. With a heavy sigh, she removed her jacket and gloves, revealing the scars she held on both hands. Since no one was around, they wouldn't need to be hidden. Removing her blouse and tie as well, revealed the lavender undershirt she wore underneath. With the preparations made, she let out another sigh, it wasn't exactly going to be pleasant. Going for the first cake, she dug her hands in, getting frosting and such all over herself. Continuing to search in the cheesecake, nothing was found. With that, she began to shovel the cake into her mouth, cursing Naegi for not providing her with utensils of any sort. The taste was sweet and made her taste buds flare up, but Kirigiri was someone who was in control, someone who didn't overindulge like any other girl. Finishing up the cheesecake, she let out a small moan as she patted her stomach. It was still quite flat, but she was starting to feel a bit full. Kirigiri continued on, focusing first on finding the key and eating the cakes second. On the fifth cake, she had yet to find the key but continued to eat, a nice layer of frosting on her lips and cheeks, Sitting down at the desk, she let out a small belch as she leaned back into her seat. Placing her arms on her belly, it was now quite rigid, proof of how much she had just eaten.
"I think this does it with the weight." she muttered as she attempted to sit up, only to find herself weak and sit back down. Damn that Naegi for making her eat so much! With another attempt, she was successful and stood up, heading to the door. Standing on the scale, she saw 106+3. Only one pound until she met the first condition. With that, she went back at it, going through three more cakes until she finally found the key. It was a rather standard one, the only remarkable thing of note was that it was colored black and white. As she had gotten through at least two more cakes, she was sure that she met both conditions. Heading back to the door, the screen read 106+5. With a sigh of relief, she used the key and turned the knob and the door opened up.
"Finally." said the exhausted detective as she went to go gather her things. Her hands and face still covered in frosting, she looked to the rest of the cakes in the room, there were still about twenty more.
"Well, one more wouldn't hurt..." she said as she licked her lips clean. indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
