Chapter 162 Objection Ali!

on the way back.

As if she suddenly thought of something, Youyou said, "Oh, Zun Zun, Sister Trapped asked me to tell you that someone bad will be pestering you recently, so you should be careful."

"…What is that? It's so scary!"

Unlike the fake fortune teller Zun Zun, Sister Tao Lao's fortune telling has never been wrong. It is because of his great strength that the predictions are always too early.

But it will definitely happen!
Not good. I'm starting to get scared.

For the next two days, Zun Zun stayed in the mansion and didn't run around, for fear of being harassed by some suspicious guy.

then.

The day of trial has arrived.

Trials in this world are very simple. The prosecutor will collect evidence and then the defense will refute it.

If the judge believes that the defendant is indeed a suspect, he will be sentenced; otherwise, if he believes that he is not a suspect, he will be released in court. This is a purely subjective and unfair practice.

There is no such profession as lawyer in this world. The defendant’s relatives and friends are responsible for defending the defendant.

The structure of the building was almost the same as that of a modern court. The handcuffed defendant and his defense attorney stood together in the center of the courtroom, while the judge, prosecutor, and plaintiff sat opposite them at a distance.

And now-

“Kazuma, don’t be so nervous. Don’t worry, we are here with you. And Zun Zun has already predicted for you, you will return safely this time.”

Aqua said this to the stiff Sato Kazuma, trying to reassure him.

"Zun Zun? Hey, did you say Zun Zun is back?"

Sato Kazuma was extremely excited.

It’s not that Zun Zun can make him feel at ease, but compared to Aqua and the other problem children, Zun Zun may be better. At least he has proven that he is good at divination.

"Zunzun!"

“Don’t worry, Kazuma. I will help you defeat the prosecutor of the Kingdom! With my hundreds of hours of experience in playing Ace Attorney and Danganronpa, it will be easy for me to deal with that tough but crybaby older woman!”

"...That's enough. Please don't speak any more. It will only make things worse."

...Huh?
Sato Kazuma was stunned.

He always felt that there was something wrong in what Zun Zun said.

But there was no time for him to think about it.

Sena, who was sitting in the prosecutor's seat, looked at Sato Kazuma coldly, making this scumbag start to feel scared involuntarily.

At this moment, a man who looked like a judge picked up the gavel and knocked it on the table.

"Silence! The trial of the defendant, Sato Kazuma, who is suspected of subverting the country, will now begin! The plaintiff is Alexi Banes Eldap!"

As the judge called.

A fat man stood up. He was quite tall, with a hairless and shiny head. He was a middle-aged man with a strong build and a lot of body hair.

He stared at Sato Kazuma, as if he was assessing his worth, and then looked at the people standing next to Sato Kazuma with a lustful and sticky gaze.

Youyou trembled and hid behind Zunzun in fear. Huihui also followed him in somehow.

When the attention turns to Darkness...

Then, for some reason, he looked surprised and froze there.

Darkness also kept staring at the other party.

“…Darkness, are you concerned about that old man’s gaze?”

"No, it's okay, it's not like that...Anyway, I'll tell you later."

Darkness looked a little strange, but there was no time to worry about such trivial matters because the gavel fell on the table again.

The class judging officially begins!
The first was the Kingdom's prosecutor Sena, who stood up and read out the indictment. The main accusation was that Sato Kazuma had used teleportation magic to teleport a corona ore that was about to explode while fighting the Mobile Fortress Destroyer.

Because the laws of the kingdom clearly stipulate that dangerous items, explosive items, etc. cannot be transported using random teleportation magic.

Most importantly, Eldap was almost killed.

"—Objection Ali!"

It happened at the same time that Sena finished reading. Zun Zun immediately slammed the table, raised one hand, and shouted loudly.

Sena was startled and her momentum suddenly weakened.

The judge also knocked the gavel and said, "It is not time for the defense to make a statement yet. You must ask for permission before you can speak. However, this should be your first time in court, so I will not care about it this time... Defense, please speak."

No, I just wanted to say objection to Ali.

...If Zun Zun dared to say that, Sato Kazuma would definitely be furious.

Aqua also looked regretful for not jumping out earlier.

Zun Zun said this not only to look cool, but also to weaken Sena's momentum. If she continues to talk like this, Sato Kazuma might really be sentenced.

"Defense attorney, please speak."

"...First of all, I want to make it clear that we did not intentionally drop the Corona Stone into Lord Eldap's house. It was just a coincidence of random teleportation magic. If it was intentional, then it would not be called random. And why not use it to bombard the Demon King's Castle?"

"That……!"

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry yet."

Zun Zun waved his hand and continued, "You mean to say that the kingdom's laws expressly prohibit the use of this magic? Then, Miss Kingdom Attorney, have you ever heard of the term emergency avoidance?"

"Emergency shelter?" "Yes. Let me give you an analogy: I remember there are monsters in the kingdom that are not allowed to be hunted, right? For example, the white tiger beast (which appeared in the original book).

If you are fighting with it, Miss Sena, if you kill it, you will violate the laws of the kingdom, but if you don't kill it, it will cause the death of a large number of nobles and civilians in the kingdom. What will you do at this time, Miss Sena?"

"That can't be..."

"Ms. Senna, do you mean to say that we... stopped the Mobile Fortress Destroyer and saved the lives of the adventurers in the town, so it's not important?"

Skill: Mobilize the group!
I have to say, this trick is quite powerful.

The adventurers in the audience seats shouted loudly, cursing Sena for being stubborn and inflexible. After all, if Kazuma hadn't given the order at that time, all the adventurers present would have died there, and even this novice village would have ceased to exist.

"So, we should not be blamed, but rewarded, right?"

"That's it!"

"How dare a mere Kingdom prosecutor disrespect human life! Are you trying to say that adventurers' lives are worthless, bastard!"

"Just wait and see, I will definitely complain to you later!"

Sena was at a loss at first, but something touched her sensitive point and her panicked expression immediately turned cold.

"Silence! Anyone who dares to disturb the order will be arrested for treason!"

"Well……!"

Everyone shut their mouths instantly and there was complete silence.

These guys... they quarrel fiercely, and none of them will fight back when something happens! You can't rely on them at all!
"That's enough. I'm very familiar with the defense's claims. So, prosecutor, please provide evidence as to why the defendant used the crime of subverting the country."

The judge urged with a weary look on his face.

Sena nodded and called a few familiar people to come up, including Chris, Yukihiro Mitsurugi and Dust. In addition, Zun Zun was also considered one of the witnesses.

"Then let's start with you."

Serna asked Zun Zun: "This defense attorney, I remember that the defendant used his stealing skills on you in public and tried to take off your underwear, right?"

"Yes."

"That's fine. Just confirm that this is true. Thank you, witness."

She seemed to be trying to generalize.

Just when he was about to question the next witness, Zun Zun suddenly said, "Because I asked him to do it."

“…Hey, what did you say?”

"I asked him to use his stealing skill to take off my panties, what's wrong?"

“Eh… Eh!!!?”

This answer seemed to have a strong impact on Sena. When she saw that the lie detector did not make any sound, this older young woman, whose single age was equal to her real age and who had never been in a relationship, blushed and was at a loss, and her hands and feet suddenly began to twist their bodies.

"T-That... so bold...?"

She seemed to want to say that the game was so extravagant and had caused some unnecessary misunderstandings.

But just right.

"Everyone here is in the same situation. They just provoke and get humiliated, right?"

"right……"

"Yes, that's it."

"Eh, is that so?"

Chris scratched her cheek, Mitsurugi Hibiki agreed immediately, but Dust still looked stupid.

"That's not even evidence. Besides, having a personal relationship with someone has nothing to do with the Demon King's Army, right? If I were a minion of the Demon King's Army, I wouldn't be wreaking havoc in the town. I would blend in like an ordinary clerk, build good relationships with the neighbors, and then wreak havoc in secret. On the contrary, what good would it do for him to make a big fuss like this and turn his reputation into scum, devil, and trash?"

"Well...I'm sorry, I misunderstood."

"Hey! Even though you're speaking for me, I feel like my reputation has plummeted!"

Seeing that Sena admitted her mistake after thinking it over, Sato Kazuma screamed in anger.

But Zun Zun didn't intend to end it there.

“In the final analysis, you overestimated Kazuma by saying that he is a lackey of the Demon King’s army. He is just a coward with the will to commit a crime but no guts. The evidence is based on the free succubus invitation ticket in my hand, and this guy clearly coveted…”

"Judge! I plead guilty! I admit that I am a minion of the Demon King's army! Kill me, kill me now!"

Ding--

Sato Kazuma shouted to the judge in the seat, and when he said this, the magic tool that could detect lies made a sound.

This is just like when a lawyer is defending a defendant and takes out the browsing history of the day, ready to prove the defendant's innocence, but the defendant suddenly pleads guilty.

“Kazuma…”

"I have the will but not the courage..."

Everyone fell silent, with obvious sympathy in their eyes.

“Don’t, don’t look at me like that!!!”

Sato Kazuma collapsed.

After being called a devil, vulgar, scum and trash, he has a new label - a coward who has the desire to steal but not the courage to do so.
