The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

I saw that little girl who never gave up, who thought she could control everything...

"Hey!"

Upon hearing that Kiana trusted her so much, Megumin, who had been having second thoughts, immediately changed her mind.

"Well... don't worry, I'll definitely help you get through this."

Huihui gestured with her hand, then looked at Sena with a confident expression, her eyes revealing a strong sense of provocation.

In response, the prosecutor, Serena, simply pushed up her glasses with a cold expression and stared back at her.

Their eyes met, sparking a fierce exchange.

A thrilling courtroom battle is about to begin!

A Certain Infernal Affairs in Another World (Konosuba): Chapter Twenty-Three: Just How Heavy is the Price of Identifying Her?

In court, the defense lawyers and prosecutors glared at each other, their faces filled with a fierce determination to get to the bottom of things.

The upcoming sparring match between the two will determine whether Kiana can be acquitted.

Megumin was very confident about this, and so was Serena.

Faced with the two men displaying such spirit, the judge, who was presiding over the ruling, stroked his beard and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "This is youth!" He then stated:

"Then, the trial begins."

With a decree from the judge, the defense finally began under the watchful eyes of the entire city and the lord.

Without wasting any time on pleasantries, Sena immediately began reading out Kiana's charges.

This generally includes damaging public property, disrupting public order, plotting to assassinate the lord, deliberately destroying the lord's castle, and intentionally...

In summary, he was utterly wicked and should be hanged immediately!

"above!"

After reciting her verdict, Serena didn't forget to toss her hair.

He gave Kiana and the others a triumphant smile.

Honestly, the way she looked made me want to rush over and beat her up.

Fortunately, even though Huihui was impulsive, she understood that at this moment, she was on someone else's turf.

If they act rashly, they will most likely not have a good outcome.

So she pulled her hat down.

"Hehehehehe! Then, let Lady Megumin overturn these baseless accusations!"

After making such a bold statement, Huihui didn't waste any words and immediately raised her hand to request that a witness be called to court.

Before long, a familiar figure appeared before everyone.

He looked listless, scratching his head as he walked, his bulging pockets seemingly filled with a lot of things.

It's intriguing to see what the captain of this adventure team has been up to these past few days.

Although, judging from his posture, nothing good could come of it, Kiana and Megumin still tended to think that this guy with so many clever ideas might have a chance to prove himself.

So when Kazuma swore his testimony was true and came to the witness stand to await questioning, Megumin raised her hand and asked:

"Mr. Kazuma, as the captain of the defendants, do you have anything to say?"

"No."

"Okay, then please... Eh? Hey!!!"

Huihui was dumbfounded, completely unaware that the man would actually say no.

What happened? What happened?

Didn't we agree on this from the beginning?

Why are you suddenly changing your mind?!

Just read it carefully as you taught it!

Huihui panicked when faced with Hezhen's change of heart.

"Then...that...witness...witness! Do you remember what you just swore?"

"I remember, so what?" Kazuma crossed his arms and turned his head away, looking completely indifferent.

"What's wrong? Perjury is severely punished! Why don't you just tell the truth!"

Huihui slammed her hand on the table and warned, her expression contorted.

When confronted with her questioning, He Zhen's reaction was simply outrageous.

"I didn't testify, so why are you accusing me of perjury?"

As he spoke, the guy picked his nose.

His arrogant demeanor made Kiana want to draw her Flame King Sword and give him a couple of good whacks on the head.

Fortunately, before she could even hit him, Huihui, already enraged, rushed forward and swung her staff at the unreliable, lewd man, knocking him down.

"what!"

Caught off guard, Kazuma was struck head-on by the staff, and immediately fell flat on his face.

As he collapsed, everyone's attention in the courtroom was drawn to him.

The most vehement reaction came from the judges themselves, who held high positions in the courtroom.

"Hey! Defense attorney, why are you...?"

Before the judge could finish speaking, a soft 'thump!' was heard next to the man who had collapsed.

Without thinking, Kiana followed everyone's gaze and discovered a large bag of gold coins lying next to the guy.

Judging by the way they've got it, they've got a lot of money inside.

So the question is, how did this transmigrator, who had been almost completely drained by the succubi, manage to acquire so many coins?

"this?!"

"No, no, it's nothing. This is money I earned through hard work!"

Kazuma, like a thief caught stealing, immediately grabbed the money bag with an expression that said, "I won't give it to anyone, I won't give it to anyone."

Seeing this, Huihui punched and kicked him repeatedly, wishing she could immediately unleash a burst of magic to completely purify him.

"Oh, what a farce."

This scene prompted Kiana to utter this exclamation.

But despite the sighs, we still need to continue our defense.

She whistled at Huihui, who was scolding and hitting her, and Huihui immediately turned around.

Their eyes met, but they simply looked at each other.

Huihui seemed to understand something and stopped hitting and scolding Kazuma after being warned by the judge and Serena.

"I apologize, I got a little excited. But it's alright, Mr. Kazuma shouldn't mind."

"I mind! I really mind!"

Ignoring Kazuma's complaints, Huihui solemnly addressed the judge:

"This witness could not possibly have obtained so many gold coins; he must have been bribed. We urge Your Honor to consider this witness's testimony!"

"They said they'd consider it on a case-by-case basis, but he didn't testify..."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the courtroom wore an embarrassed expression.

Realizing she had used the wrong word, Huihui, who had been so aggressive just moments before, immediately fell silent, supporting her delicate knees.

Seeing this, Kiana, as the defendant, had no choice but to speak out:

"What he really meant was that we didn't need to listen to his testimony."

"Is that so... Witness, do you have any further testimony to offer?"

Hearing the judge's call, Kazuma turned around and looked at Serena with a somewhat speechless expression.

The defense attorney, who should have hated him terribly, adjusted his glasses.

With just a glance, Kiana could guess that Sena might have been well-prepared from the very beginning of her defense.

"Really... what deep-seated grudge do you hold against me? Why are you going to such lengths to judge me?"

[Host, perhaps the humiliation you inflicted on her is more painful than killing her?]

"Uh...why not just scold me? Why be so impatient...wait, system, look at her expression, why does she look...so much like Darkness?"

Kiana stared wide-eyed at Serena, who was slumped over the prosecutor's seat, in disbelief.

At this moment, the plump prosecutor was staring at him, her face flushed, her beautiful eyes, which seemed to hold a hint of love, filled with a morbid emotion.

Just by looking at it, you can tell something is wrong.

Anyway, Kiana inexplicably felt...

Am I being targeted by some strange person again?

[Huh, host, you finally realized it?]

"What do you mean? Explain yourself!"

To put it simply, she's a woman with extremely high self-esteem. But you tied her to a table all night and gagged her with someone else's underwear. This behavior... can be said to have severely damaged her self-esteem.

Oh... so that's what happened?

No wonder she hates me so much... So, should I try to apologize to her?

Or, to put it another way, be more assertive and give an appropriate warning before seeking a settlement?

Unfortunately, Kiana ultimately underestimated the situation.

The system's final answer made her realize something profound.

There may really be no normal people left in this world.
