Enbizaka Murderer Scandal

The Enbizaka Murders was the name given to the string of homicides caused by Kayo Sudou at Enbizaka in Snakeland. Murdering her victims in a peculiar manner, the tailor victimized a family of four and caused great pandemonium throughout the area.

Origins
In EC 842, Elluka Clockworker encountered Kayo Sudou, while searching for the Seven Deadly Sins. She used her Body Swap technique to trade bodies with the tailor and took the scissors Kayo owned while replacing them with another pair.

Rampage
Later that year, the tailor became infatuated with a man living in the area. Not long after the man walked with his wife down the main street. She was targeted by Kayo and murdered before depriving her of her red kimono. The following day, the man's eldest daughter was also targeted for comforting him. Later on, she was killed and her green sash was stolen. Losing another member of his family, the man's youngest daughter was later stabbed to death and the golden hairpin he had earlier bought her was taken. Some time afterward, the homicidal Kayo dressed herself in the clothes of her victims and presented herself to the man. Angered that he didn't recognize her, she disposed of him as well.

Aftermath
In the immediate aftermath, panic swept through the area in response to the family of four being mysteriously killed. While little information was confirmed about Kayo due to the rural area she lived in, the Magic East Record detailed that she caused an event that "shook the world".

Civilian Perception
After the first murder was discovered, the surrounding neighborhood became anxious as residents grew fearful of a killer existing in the area. As the murders continued, the residents were swept up in an increasing panic before finally erupting into chaos.
