Funinna, please let me steal your heart!

Seeing her fall silent, Lynette could only reply with a curt, "I see."

"........................That."

Lynette changed the subject, this seemed to be the last question.

"Why did you choose to aim for Leffeld's heart instead of his limbs at that time?"

Even if we don't shoot him, as long as we can pierce his hands and feet, he will definitely be in so much pain that he can't move.

Luna was surprised, not expecting Lynette to bring up such a thing from so many years ago.

However, neither Lynette nor she could forget what happened that day.

Because she met Arecino.

The reason for aiming for fatal spots is simple.

"I don't want guys like that living in this world."

It wasn't because of anger or fear.

"I just wanted to do it."

Lynette didn't ask any more questions, and Luna returned to Clorinde's side.

"Have you finished chatting?"

"It's over."

"It crashed?"

"I don't know. By the way, Miss Clorinde seems to care a lot about this kind of thing?" Luna asked in surprise.

Claudia nodded. "I'm somewhat interested."

"You are so honest."

"Thanks for the compliment."

Luna shared some of the intelligence she obtained with Claurind, Arecino, and their plans and objectives, though she naturally wouldn't reveal it aloud.

Of course, Linni's movements must be clearly explained, otherwise it will become a fatal weakness.

"He went to the room at the core of the Prophecy Machine?" Clond frowned.

"Ah."

"...What exactly does the House of Hearths want to do?"

Luna said nonchalantly, "Who knows? But that's not the key. Miss Clorinde has probably already figured out the key clue, hasn't she?"

"...is the water of the primordial womb."

“Yes.” Luna nodded.

She and Claurind went to the tunnel under the stage, and everything they found matched their reasoning, but there was no more information available.

“Investigation complete,” Luna said to Navelette.

"Now that we're moving into the trial phase, does Ms. Funina have any objections?"

"No. Hurry up and bring it up, the audience is already impatient." Funina put her hands on her hips, but Luna saw the confidence on her face as fake as ever.

"Yes, yes, bring it up quickly!"

I want to know the truth!

The audience cheered for the new play.

Navilette nodded, walked to the seat of the Supreme Judge, and thrust his cane down.

"Please take your positions as the prosecutor and the accused. Prosecutor: Ms. Furina; Defendants: Mr. Linnie and Ms. Lynette; Attorney: Luna; This case is—"

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly...

boom!

The door was pushed open forcefully.

"Lulu!"

Before seeing her, Luna heard her voice, and after a moment of surprise, a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

They arrived at just the right time.

Chiori and Navia appeared at the door.

"How did you all end up here...?" Funina exclaimed in surprise.

Clarin murmured, "Navia?"

"Wow, two more people have arrived?" Paimon exclaimed softly.

"Miss Navia, Miss Chiori, where is this place and time—"

“The trial court, I know it. I know it better than anyone, but Your Honor, we are not here to cause trouble. On the contrary, we want to participate in the trial!”

Navia ran quickly, then leaped up and came to Luna's side.

"Awaited."

Luna smiled and said, "It did take me quite a while to wait."

"Hehe, what's that saying? The main character always appears last. Of course, this time the main characters are me and Lulu, and I know that very well."

Chiori crossed her arms and sighed, "What about me?"

"Ah, Chiori too!"

"Hmm... never mind, I'm just here to be a witness."

Fu Ningna was somewhat confused about the current situation.

what happened?

They actually claimed to be there for the trial. How could they know anything about the case while they were out there? Wait, could it be...?

Before Funina could even guess, Luna shouted, "We request an emergency trial!"

Navelette watched them quietly.

"Emergency trial? Can't we just have one now?"

"I don't quite understand..."

The audience was completely confused.

Funina exclaimed in surprise, "You've already found it?"

“Yes.” Navia patted her chest.

"Okay, okay... cough, I mean—stop beating around the bush and explain what's going on!" Funina sat down and crossed her legs.

Navia and Luna exchanged a glance.

"Ready?" Luna asked.

“Of course!” Navia smiled confidently.

So.....

Luna raised her hand and said loudly, "Solving one case requires the truth of another!"

Navia slammed her hand on the railing: "And it will unravel all the mysteries until now!"

"Therefore, please allow us to request an emergency trial!"

Navelette asked softly, "The case is?"

“‘The serial disappearances of teenage girls’,” Luna said with a smile.

“And the ‘unjust Carles case’,” Navia said firmly.

There was an uproar.

"What? Two emergency trials... no, including this case, that makes three?"

"Could these three cases all have been committed by the same person?"

Navia looked directly into Navelette's eyes, her words and gaze filled with determination.

“We’ll tell everyone that my dad is innocent. Let them see what we’re made of, Lulu.”

Luna chuckled and said, "Of course."

It's time for the performance.

Navelette nodded slowly: "In my capacity as Supreme Judge, I grant this special emergency trial request. The accused are: Navia and Luna; the accused are..."

Luna and Navia said in unison, "Chairman of the Cabrière Chamber of Commerce, Marcel!"

Navelette withdrew her gaze and tapped her cane.

"Summon the accused!"

"It's not necessary."

Luna pointed to a figure in the audience.

"He's right there."

Marcel, whose face was wrapped in bandages and whose eyes were obscured by the shadow of his hat, raised his head.

114: The Cat Who Loses His Girlfriend and the Rich Girl

The audience all turned around.

"Why is he here?"

The guards approached Marcel and gestured, "Please go to the accused's position."

Funina was somewhat confused.

The accuser and the accused have instantly switched positions, and the case has also changed. So, does she still need to stand on the side of the accused?
