Looking at Kazuma, who was slow to realize what was happening, Freyren covered her face with her hands, feeling a little tired: "Not only does he have connections with the Demon King's army officers, he's also a hero, can you believe it?"

Even that incredibly useful spell was learned from Wiz; it's not that they're completely unrelated, but rather that they're closely connected.

Normally, what kind of hero goes to a demon king's army officer to learn skills? It's a miracle they don't start fighting the moment they meet.

Chapter 469 Huihui: I can make the prosecutor cry!

[The scene shifts to the execution ground, where Kazuma, handcuffed, stands in the dock, his body stiff with tension and breathing heavily!]

As one of Kazuma's defense lawyers, Huihui noticed his nervousness: "It's okay, I'll make that prosecutor cry!"

Darkness, standing on the left, also looked confident: "Don't worry, you didn't do anything wrong this time."

The latter was almost moved to tears; so reliable… so incredibly reliable! But… Kazuma looked at Aqua with some worry in his eyes.

Seemingly noticing Kazuma's gaze, Aqua patted her chest and assured him, "It's alright, leave it all to me!"

Looking at the confident Aqua, Kazuma concluded without hesitation: This girl is a big problem!

"Wait a minute... Do you think any of your teammates are reliable? It's really going to be a big problem if those two are around!"

"It's better to hire lawyer Zhang Weiwei than to let them defend you. At least he can get the death sentence commuted to twenty years in prison."

And... Aqua, look at what you're saying! You think you can handle this? Let that little brain of yours, which can come up with such outrageous escape plans, rest for a while, or you're really doomed.

Even so, everyone still looked at Kazuma with some surprise. Considering his personality, it was already quite remarkable that he hadn't revealed Wiz yet.

As for Huihui saying she could make the prosecutor cry... hehe, everyone chuckled. She's guaranteed to lose, just like her brother! They're only ever good at tricking you, they never disappoint.

Academy City World

Misaka Mikoto watched the scene unfold before her with a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth, thinking to herself that Kazuma was doomed: "Megumin, Darkness, Aqua... what kind of god-like lineup of defense lawyers is this? There's no hope, just wait to die."

With a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer, a perverted knight, and a mentally challenged goddess, and having a teammate who can't even muster a brain to defend them, do they think their crimes aren't serious enough already?

Shirai Kuroko chimed in with a sarcastic remark, "On what grounds does Kazuma think Aqua is the only one with a problem?..."

These two, who can create an otherworldly version of self-deception while wearing hoods, can only be said to be on par with Aqua in terms of intelligence.

Also, why do you think the adventurers call Huihui a girl with a problem in her head? Are you sure this thing is really reliable?

You're really unreliable! Everyone in your squad is out of their mind. In other words, anyone with a sound mind wouldn't even be in your squad.

[Aqua and her two companions stood confidently in the dock. The prosecutor stepped forward to pronounce Kazuma guilty of treason and then began taking testimony from the witnesses.]

The first witness was Chris, the thief whose panties Kazuma had stolen. The prosecutor questioned her about whether this was true.

“Uh…that’s true, but that’s…” Chris was about to defend him when the red-haired mage outside the arena suddenly interrupted her.

"I saw it! Underwear flying around in the alley!" The red-haired monk pointed fearfully at Kazuma in the defendant's dock.

[Kazuma, who was being pointed at, panicked instantly, breaking out in a cold sweat and panting heavily!]

[And just like that, the prosecutor swiftly and decisively concluded the first witness's testimony and expelled Chris from the courtroom.]

[The second witness, the one with the scarred leek and Izusaki II, is the hero Mitsurugi Hibiki. The prosecutor questions him about whether it's true that Kazuma stole the Demon Sword and then sold it!]

【Mitsuken Kyouya didn't blame Kazuma: "Yes...yes, but ultimately it was my fault..."】

[However, the prosecutor didn't care about all that; as long as the evidence was solid, he was fine. He was immediately removed from the stage, and then the third witness was brought in: Mitsurugi Hibiki's two female followers.]

The prosecutor recounted the charges: "Were you threatened with having to remove your underwear in front of everyone while trying to retrieve the demon sword?!"

These two girls weren't going to give Kazuma any face, and immediately accused him of something: "It's like this, they said something about my thieving skills about to be unleashed in front of everyone!"

"Tsk tsk... Public execution, dig up their dark history, they might as well just kill themselves in court!"

"What kind of prosecutor is this? He doesn't even listen to the witnesses' statements, he only listens to half of them. At least he listened to their 'buts' too."

While everyone found it amusing, they were also somewhat speechless. What was wrong with the red-haired girl in the audience? Who asked you that? It's a shame that He Zhen saved the town several times, yet he was treated like this.

Moreover, the prosecutor seemed to have some issues; after hearing the testimony he wanted, he didn't give the witness a chance to continue speaking.

However, the character of the hero, Mikami Hibiki, is admirable. Even after Kazuma betrayed him and sold the Demon Sword, he didn't take advantage of the situation to kick him while he was down. Instead, he spoke the truth and took the blame upon himself.

I wonder if that poor hero has found his demon sword yet.

Re:Zero -Starting Life in Zero

Even Subaru Natsuki, who had tried to defend his fellow countryman, was somewhat embarrassed and speechless: "It seems that Kazuma really is a little mischievous..."

He was getting a little frantic inside. What on earth had this fellow countryman from Japan done?!

It's one thing to act like a pervert in the street and use lewd gestures to intimidate a young girl, but there are plenty of witnesses, so there's no way to defend it.

Even so, Emilia frowned slightly, puzzled: "This prosecutor seems to be taking things out of context... Kazuma is at most a thug."

Although most of what he said was true and irrefutable, what does that have to do with treason? At most, these things prove that He Zhen is just a petty thug.

It's just a matter of personality, and it can't change the fact that Kazuma saved the town. Clearly, his merits outweigh his demerits.

Faced with multiple corroborating testimonies, He Zhen's mind went blank, and he felt he could never clear his name. At this moment, Huihui, his defense attorney, suddenly stood up to voice her objections!

“I admit Kazuma has a twisted personality, but testimony alone is insufficient. If you insist Kazuma is a terrorist, then provide more evidence!”

Aqua excitedly stood up and echoed, "That's right, evidence!"

The prosecutor remained unfazed: "First, although they defeated the Headless Horseman, they caused immense damage to the town with the flood!"

Upon hearing this, Aqua immediately wilted, covering her ears with her hands, her body trembling involuntarily.

"Secondly, the use of explosive magic near towns has altered the terrain and ecosystem, and in recent days it has even caused noise pollution at night!"

Then even Huihui covered her ears, turned her head away, and pretended not to have heard anything.

"Thirdly, an eyewitness claimed that Kazuma could actually use the skills of the undead!"

[Kazuma, who was just cursing Huihui and the others for being useless, is now also covering his head and ears with his hands, sweating profusely and deceiving himself.]

"Hahaha, none of these defense lawyers are reliable. They couldn't even hold their own after just one sentence."

"One second Huihui was confidently saying that she would make the prosecutor cry, but the next second she was almost crying herself."

Everyone looked at the three people who were deceiving themselves by making the same gesture with mocking expressions. "Like attracts like!" they thought. "None of them are trustworthy."

Then on second thought, Darkness seemed pretty reliable; she was the only one whose marriage hadn't collapsed yet! ...assuming we ignored her twisted personality.

Labyrinth Diner World

Leos, looking at Kazuma who seemed to be nailed to the execution rack by evidence, vaguely sensed something was wrong: "The prosecutor has shifted the focus..."

Evidence 1: Aqua released the flood but blamed it on Kazuma. Moreover, she only lost part of the city wall to defeat the Demon King's army officers, but she didn't mention the credit.

Evidence two is hardly a big deal; it's just noise harassment, yet it's been unfairly attributed to Kazuma.

As for evidence three, it is true that Kazuma learned the 930 Undead skill, but he saved the town with this skill. If it is related to the Demon King's army, why would he save the town?

"The most important point is, if Kazuma is connected to the Demon King's army, how do you explain his defeat of the Headless Horseman, who is also an officer!"

As Leos was speaking, he noticed that Senshi and the others were all looking at him with incredulous eyes... It turned out that this guy's brain was surprisingly useful, in addition to remembering monsters.

Marushir suddenly realized: "That's right! Kazuma's act of defeating the Headless Horseman is enough to prove that he has nothing to do with the Demon King's army!"

I never expected this before. Could it be that Aqua really did lower my intelligence too?

[The prosecutor then presented the most crucial piece of evidence: during the interrogation, the magical artifacts confirmed Kazuma's connection to the Demon King's army!]

The companions were completely out of ideas, and the lord was growing impatient: "That's enough! This guy is undoubtedly connected to the Demon King's army!"

The lord's words jolted Kazuma awake. He thought of a way to prove his innocence, so he shouted at the magical lie detector directly in front of him.

"Listen carefully, watch closely! I am neither a henchman of the Demon King nor a terrorist."

The prosecutor was dumbfounded, staring at the silent lie detector, and hurriedly turned to ask the presiding judge for his opinion!

[Upon seeing this, the presiding judge stated that due to insufficient evidence, the prosecutor's claims could not be used as the basis for the verdict!]

"That's the advantage of being intelligent. He can use props to prove his innocence. He's definitely the only one in the team with a brain."

"They're not henchmen or terrorists, just people with some connection. Kazuma really seized on the loophole; that's the art of language."

So, when you're out in the world, you really have to rely on yourself. Teammates are completely unreliable. If it weren't for Kazuma's quick thinking, Aqua would have been in serious trouble just now.

Chapter 470 Aqua's Lifelong Rival! ...Giant Frog

"Defendant Kazuma Sato, the suspicion against you is insufficient, and you are found not guilty..."

Just as the judge was about to bring down the gavel, the lord openly threatened him. Under pressure, the judge had no choice but to change his words: "The defendant is guilty... therefore the verdict is..."

Seeing the situation about to spiral out of control, Darkness stepped forward, pulling out her golden family crest—a family known as the king's greatest ally.

Darkness made an arbitrary request in exchange for the trial being handed over to her, and the lord agreed! Thus, Kazuma's sentence was preserved.

[The mission left to Kazuma is twofold: first, to prove he is not a member of the Demon King's army; second, to compensate the lord for the house.]

[Afterwards, Kazuma returned to the villa, but just as they were about to open the door, a group of guards burst in: "By order of the court, the defendant's personal property and mortgaged debts are confiscated!"]

[Soon the huge villa was completely looted, even Aqua's fine wine and Kazuma's sportswear were taken.]

The amount owed has reached 1.24 billion Eris!

"The evil Middle Ages, the first lesson in another world: power can turn people into something more devilish than the devil himself."

"Goodness, you can do it like this? Just let the lord sit in the judge's seat, since he's the one who calls the shots anyway."

Kazuma himself is innocent, so they just use his status to pressure him... In the end, it still comes down to whose background and status are bigger, which is pointless.

He went from being penniless to being heavily in debt, truly a role model in the world of heroes.
