The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

No, quite the opposite. She felt incredibly good, I mean, this slow, agonizing process.

"What's this?!"

The system's answer was so absurd that Kiana didn't even understand Seina's good intentions.

Could it be that my unintentional actions triggered this strange switch on the girl with glasses?

Then I must be truly guilty of a grave sin.

After everything is over, I need to go and properly apologize to her.

Kiana made her plans in her heart, and then turned her gaze to the second witness who had been invited up by Seina.

Chris...

Strictly speaking, she can be considered the goddess of this world.

However, because she was disguised as a mortal, this goddess had to travel the world under the name Chris.

It was precisely because of this disguise that this goddess was able to blend in with the adventurers.

And now he's appearing as a witness in this trial...

After a brief oath of testimony, the judge slowly said to Chris, "Witness—"

"Your Honor! I want to testify!"

The sudden shout drew everyone's attention to the witness.

"you..."

“I want to identify him!” Chris said, pointing at Kazuma.

He Zhen was completely stunned when she pointed at him so angrily.

Before he could even finish speaking, Chris blurted out everything he had done.

After the story was told, everyone immediately realized... this despicable thief was utterly despicable.

"Hey! Wait, wait a minute!"

Suddenly, Kazuma was dragged away from the courtroom without warning.

Before leaving, this guy was yelling and begging Huihui to plead for him to be let go.

However, at this moment, Megumin and Kiana had no time to pay attention to his cries for help.

After all, although she had dealt with the bribed accomplice, Sena, as the prosecutor, still had many contingency plans.

Kiana must be brought to justice...

"Although some accidents occurred, they were minor."

Serena pushed up her glasses and then fixed her gaze on Kiana.

"Next, we invite the witnesses to continue testifying and identify the various crimes committed by this heinous person!"

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Chris slowly fixed his gaze on Kiana.

At this moment, the goddess who had been repeatedly mocked and bullied finally got the chance to redeem herself!

However, faced with this golden opportunity for revenge, she hesitated...

"This girl in front of me, who seems to be a high-ranking officer in the Demon King's army... is no ordinary person."

What terrible price would be paid to reveal the truth?

The goddess Eris felt a deep-seated fear of this...

A Certain Infernal Affairs in Another World (Konosuba): Chapter Twenty-Four: The Glasses Girl Thrown into the Interrogation Room

To be honest, there aren't many things that can truly frighten the goddess Eris.

If I had to name one, her predecessor, Akia, could be considered one.

However, at this moment, due to unforeseen circumstances, this senior has to start all over again.

As a result, the goddess Eris became somewhat complacent.

Her frequent descent to the mortal realm might be precisely for this reason, allowing her to openly and legitimately slack off.

Unfortunately, everything changed after he met Kiana.

"Well..."

Thinking of this, the goddess Eris looked at Kiana somewhat timidly.

As a result, she discovered...

Why is she staring at me so intently?

At this moment, Kiana was staring at him with her bright blue eyes, like a white cat searching for food.

Despite the perfect daylight, the awe-inspiring light emanating from his eyes was terrifying.

It also reminded Chris of the painful time when she bullied him at will.

I feel like if I make a bad ruling for her, that unforgettable memory gap will reappear in the next second...

It's strange, even though it feels like a short period of time has passed, I have no memory of that time.

Whether it was the goddess Eris, the goddess Aqua, or even Kazuma and the entire city's residents and adventurers.

They have no memory of Kiana after she drew her sword.

Or to be more precise, this period of time was frozen in time for them.

But for Kiana, it is fluid.

During periods of stillness, consciousness may also become paralyzed.

Therefore, Eris has absolutely no memory of Kiana after she drew her sword, not even of the earth-shattering explosion that occurred later.

She was also completely bewildered, not understanding why the mobile fortress had been so close to her just a second ago.

It exploded the next second...

"A terrifying woman..."

Finally, after trying to recall, the goddess Eris gave Kiana this evaluation.

For future and safety reasons, she ultimately decided to forgo providing truthful testimony.

"Miss Kiana is an adventurer of noble character. Her actions are certainly not something a so-called Demon King's army officer would do. We hope the court will give her a fair judgment. This is the best gift we can offer to the goddess Eris!"

Upon hearing this, all the goddess statues in the city were suddenly enveloped in holy light.

This extraordinary sight is truly like a goddess descending to earth.

This shocked everyone present, and indeed the entire city.

"What...what exactly is going on?"

"Could it be that the goddess has descended to earth?!"

Praise be to the goddess!

Outside the courtroom, a commotion broke out among the many adventurers who had been standing and watching.

They were filled with astonishment and joy at the miracles before them, as if a goddess were about to bestow blessings upon them.

To be honest, this situation is quite irritating, though it's usually alright.

However, this is absolutely unacceptable in court.

"quiet!"

After a moment of stunned silence, the judge began to strike the gavel, urging everyone to calm down.

After everything quieted down, he slowly turned his head to look at Chris:

"Miss Chris, can you guarantee that your testimony is absolutely true?"

"can."

"very good..."

Seeing that the interrogation was nearly complete, the judge no longer cared about Sena's feelings and stated directly:

"Accusation—!"

"Wait!"

The judge, who was about to deliver the final verdict and immediately announce Kiana's release, paused and looked at the lord beside him.

At this moment, beads of sweat appeared on the lord's forehead due to fear.

His somewhat overweight hands trembled slightly, as if he were afraid of saying the wrong thing and causing a serious incident.

After a fierce internal struggle, the lord finally raised his hand and said:

“Although the defendant’s behavior was egregious, I do not believe it was intentional. I am willing to settle if she offers appropriate compensation.”

"Uh, a settlement...?" The judge was dumbfounded.

"Reconcile?" Huihui and Kiana looked at each other in bewilderment.

"That's right, reconciliation."

The lord rested his chin on his hand, and said in a somewhat helpless tone:

"Don't worry, it's just a small favor I need your help with, it won't take much time or effort."

A little busy...

Is this lord's word trustworthy?

Kiana remained skeptical about this.

However, after thinking about it, she realized that even if the lord was deceiving her, there was no way he could escape her punishment.

Since that's the case, then agreeing won't hurt!

"Sure, as long as it's something I can help with, or any small favor I'm willing to do."
