"I gave it to Hideyoshi." Eva replies.

Jessica is taken aback, a wide grin surfacing across her face. "Then that means... Eba-Obasan! Empty your pockets! You can't be the killer!"

Eva empties her pockets. The key to hers and Hideyoshi's room is not there. Then she has a moment of realization. "Jessica did you find the key when you searched Hideyoshi's body?"

Natuhi holds her head in her hand. "All this stress is making my headache worse. I need to get something for it."
She walks over to Krauss. "Krauss, please come with me to my room to get my medicine."

I look over at Natsuhi.
"Hold on a minute, Oba-san, I think something interesting is happening."

"Iie. I did not. This means that someone had stolen Hideyoshi-Ojisan's key! Although the door was locked and could have been done so with one of the dead servants," Jessica gestures the sign of the cross briefly before speaking, "we can't ignore the fact that there is a key that Hideyoshi-Ojisan should have is missing! It doesn't make sense to have Eva-Obasan remove a key from her room only to return to her room and use another key to lock the door! It just doesn't make sense."
Jessica slams her hands on the table, shaking her head. "Ah well... oh and another thing." Jessica points rapidly at Gohda and Kanon "You two, did you recognise the knife in Eva's hands? Can you confirm that it was from the kitchen?"

"I know I remember that Genji locked the door when he, Shannon, and Kumasawa came in with the tea and cakes. I don't know why he wouldn't." Eva muses. She fans herself for a moment and then snaps the fan closed and points at the others. "If Hideyoshi's key is missing then one of you has it!"
"We haven't had a chance to check if a knife is missing from the kitchen, Miss Jessica. Would you like myself or Kanon to go and check now?" Ghoda replies

"The culprit might still have it on them," Battler agreed, "Everyone should check their pockets."
He didn't consider exactly what might happen if someone did have the key on them. Battler checked his own pockets, not expecting to find anything, but just to make the gesture.

"Ah of course! Kanon, Gohda and I will head out. Natsuhi and Krauss, if you leave please leave now and stay together." Jessica begins to make her way to the door before catching on to what Eva and Battler said. I turn my pockets out also.

Jessica finds the key to the cousins' room in her pocket along with Kanon and Ghoda's master keys, Krauss finds the key to his and Natsuhi's room and Rudolf finds the key to his and Kyrie's room. The others don't find anything important in their pockets.
Jessica, Kanon, and Ghoda head to the kitchen while Krauss and Natsuhi head to their room, leaving Battler alone with Kyrie, Eva, and Rudolf.

Before entering the kitchen I allow Natsuhi and Krauss out the door. I reset my piece of paper in the door crack after closing the door and head towards the kitchen, holding Kanon's hand of course.

Battler was a tiny bit relieved Eva's key hadn't surfaced.
He sat down. "Hey, did either of you two stay at Eva Oba-san's door, or did both of you go to find someone?" he asked Rudolf and Kyrie.

"M-Miss Jessica..." Kanon pulls his hand out of Jessica's grasp. "You shouldn't. I'm just furniture..." Kanon looks away from Jessica and follows Ghoda down the hall.
Back in the Parlor
"I went to find either Kanon or Ghoda to unlock the door. Rudolf stayed at Eva's door. Fortunately I found both Kanon and Ghoda in the kitchen." Kyrie responds. She pauses a moment. "When everyone gets back we should probably go look for Eva's key. If no one had it then the killer probably hid it somewhere."

Battler nodded.
"Well, old man? You didn't see anyone leave the room, did you?" He was pretty sure of the answer, but there wasn't much to talk about otherwise. Then, it occurred to him, "Oba-san, you must have been shocked to see what happened in your room. You must have reacted in some way, right?"

"I do not recall seeing anyone, Battler-kun." Rudolf responds.
"I think I was still regaining consciousness at that time so I hadn't fully registered what had happened." Eva replies.

I get Gohda and Kanon to check the knives before returning and asking about the conversation that was being had.

Ghoda and Kanon find that there is indeed a missing knife from the kitchen. When they return Eva recounts what she, Rudolf, and Kyrie had just told Battler.
"I suggest that when Natsuhi and Krauss get back we split up and find Eva's key." Kyrie says.

"Kanon-kun. Gohda. When was the last time you knew all the knives were there? Did anyone other than Kyrie enter the kitchen whilst you and Gohda were together?" After asking her question, Jessica turns and agrees with Kyrie. "Of course. Eva's key is valuable evidence."

It was last night while dinner was being prepared, Miss Jessica. The knife must have gone missing later on and neither of us noticed. Only Miss Kyrie entered the kitchen when Kanon and I were in here." Ghoda responds.

"Excellent. Now let's get to searching for that key. I think we'll split up. Kyrie-obasan, Rudolf-ojisan can you try and catch up with mother-okasan and father-otosan? Everyone else can come with me. Especially you, Kanon-kun.
Oh before we head out, can everyone please hand me your keys? We'll meet back here in an hour!"
