"What about when he transported me to the airship? You know where he went after that?"

Theta at Hourou:
"Well if you watched him all the time in archive, you also must have seen that time he copied frozen spell used around the temple to freeze the creepy guy that one time... Which would've confirmed he had a book that copies other skills... But you didn't say it... Why is that..?"

Horou: "What are you talking about? Thoth never once took out a book that looked even remotely magical when he was in the archives."

Theta: "Hmph... You arrived immediately after Thoth called for help even though he attacked first and did not hesitate to try to kill us before asking what is going on... How are we to trust you are not in on his murder plan..? If Thoth is culprit it is hard to think you would not know, and if you did, even if you did not help him, you could have closed your eyes on this pretending to not notice... That would make you an accomplice too, does it not..?"

"Theta, you're missing something logical. Why would she do that when Thoth is already dead? If she were in on this, she would want it to seem like Thoth was the only one involved, yet she spoke out. We're continuing this logic of just believing each other and random things we've found, so if we're going to accuse Horou's friend like this, why not exam those Paper Dragons that were found, quite clearly linking this to Yuuki the artist?
While I don't believe she did it, it's looking like Thoth didn't do it either.
Is there someone else we're missing?"

E: "While I can appreciate your defense of Thoth, Horou, I would like to ask that you show us any footage you have of Thoth from your observers. I can't imagine a busy person like yourself could be watching through the observers all day and night, especially if you can casually remember that he never so much as opened a book. If you can present footage, the opposing arguments will be silenced and we can proceed to searching for the true culprit."
-Scratches his chin-
E: "Without concrete evidence backing up your testimony, the people here will likely continue to accuse Thoth. I would also like to ask, why did you have Thoth under observation by observers? Was he some sort of criminal needing to be watched or did you have some other reason?"

"Because if they are in fact accomplices and this whole Erin murder was done only to frame Yuuki... Then she can kill Yuuki and us both at the same time... How is that not logical..? This whole trial is just a charade... That ranker knows exactly what happened, where, how and why... But he cannot act on his own volition... This is not trial where we find truth... This is a trial where we just decide who gets to be murdered by Lo Po Bia!"
"And even if he left only in 2 cases... Just leaving once would have been more than enough to do the whole murder execution. When Thoth was called out by the guy 2nd time, it was through the pocket, so they could not have been together all the time... In the time frame between they met up to head down to treasure room, he could have made his pet and/or the cloned Yuuki paper dragons do all the preparations to frame Yuuki. And even if his death was not enough time to stop the plan seeing as Erin was likely dead already, somebody else could have taken the book from his body making it go missing. And the only one who was in Treasure Room earlier who could do it was you Horou."

Horou: "I had Thoth under surveillance because he was my main servant, obviously! I don't have the footage anymore, all the footage was erased when I recalled my observers to answer Thoth's distress call the day before the ranker came down on his airship. But I have a photographic memory, so I definitely remember every second!"

"To add to that, if you had observers, why did you not use them to search for Thoth before we killed him? When you ran through the tunnels searching for him, you looked clueless as to where he was..."

E: "While I don't quite want to take photographic memory at face value, we should rule out other possibilities with actual evidence. Let's pursue the framing and see if anything doesn't add up."
-chin scratching intensifies-
E: "Who would be capable of creating fake copies of the paper dragons? As I recall those are fairly unique and copying one perfectly would be difficult, let along actually reproducing one."

"Once upon a time, there was a Poe girl who could copy any skill just by looking at it once. Even skills that should be unique to the user. I can even name several people who met and witness her power first hand. I believe it is possible we have a similar situation here though not necessarily from Thoth."

E: "To add to this train of though, there is no benefit to framing Yuuki or Theta. You are both mostly....normal.....regulars....I guess, so if someone is willing to go so far as kill an heir....why not just kill you two instead? Erin, as I have heard from our previous encounters while climbing, was quite strong, much stronger than either of you if the stories are true. Why kill the more powerful target to frame someone you could also just kill?"
-CHIN SCRATCHING INTENSIFIES-
E: "The killing of Thoth in fact seems suspicious as well. If he was alive he could testify and confirm he was in the archive, his death actually makes it much easier to accuse him, and by extension Horou since they are together. The Main servant as Horou called him."

"Well, it seems I've made another discovery. I requested to go to the Inn just now to check for something. I failed to mention a strange part that I cast off as nothing since I trusted him, however the person the Hippo masked guard was talking to was Rania. Rania knew about the book. Unfortunately, that did not cross my mind until recently. How did he know about the book? Where did the book go? So after checking the Inn, I found two "Books of Knowledge" in drawers right in the room next to Rania's room at the Inn. One of these books has transcribed in it my desert and terraform. This book belonged to Thoth, as I mentioned that he had copied my skills. Rania must have transported Thoth's book to hide it with his own, as the second book as Yuuki's Living Art skill inscribed into it. This must be how the dragons persisted after Thoth's death. It was because Rania was keeping the dragons up guardian the area with his own book!"
"Rania, could you please explain the meaning of this?"

While the rest of the group powerfully debate among themselves, Miide Effta cowers in a corner.
