Murder and Trial (Chapter 1 - Mirai)

Execution
WHEEL OF FORTUNE ♪ ♪ ♪

The room becomes pitch black, suddenly being illuminated by a single spotlight focusing on what appears to be a stage. As Hope steps out onto the stage, she makes a bow before thick, red curtains.

They slowly begin to part, revealing a large colorful wheel, with Mizuno trapped to the center of it. He squinted in the bright light, expression seemingly one of shock and confusion.

Before he could get his bearings completely, the wheel began to start spinning – slowly at first, but it began to pick up speed, making it difficult to keep track of.



Hope brandishes a couple of knives, showing them off to the “audience”. Then she turns around, and begins to throw them at the target. They miss their target one after the other, but she didn’t seem discouraged by it.

As the wheel begins to slow down, a knife hits Mizuno in the arm, the leg, and eventually, the chest. Before it comes to a complete stop, he’s just barely able to react before a last knife nails into his head.

MIZUNO RYUUNOSUKE, THE SHSL PHANTOM THIEF GOOD LUCK, HAS BEEN EXECUTED.
