I've already traveled to another world and come back, but that guy is still in prison, not even thinking about escaping.
"Judgment Day, huh? If I, the Demon King, were to testify for him on the spot, I'd probably be even more able to sit idly by and watch his crimes be proven. Very well, I'll go then!"
Mo Li had an idea. Since returning from the world of Akame ga Kill!, his strength hadn't increased much, so Kazuma Sato could still live for a while.
Moreover, the other three continents were not yet unified, and he still had a lot of things to do.
However, Mo Li is still quite willing to do interesting things like causing trouble for the heroes.
"Mio, go and call Darkness, Wiz, and Yuuyu over. I have something to tell them!"
Mio Takamiya turned around expressionlessly and went to inform the three of them to come to the hall.
Mo Li rolled her eyes. She wondered what kind of expression Sato Kazuma would have on his face after being betrayed by his former comrade.
Before long, Darkness, Wiz, and Youyou stood below Moli.
"You will come with me to Axel tomorrow!"
"Eh, so rushed? But I made plans to train with Mana tomorrow."
"It's okay, Youyou. You're already very strong. Besides, don't you want to see Huihui?"
"Huihui?! Yes, I understand!"
Upon hearing Huihui's name, Youyou readily agreed, forgetting all about her promise to Mana.
Wiz readily agreed, since staying in one place all the time could easily get boring.
Darkness shook her head frantically, her entire body vehemently rejecting the idea.
"No, I absolutely will not leave here, you can forget about throwing me away!"
"You're hopeless! Just go back to Kazuma's side right now, you big idiot, glutton, masochist, the farther away from me the better!"
"Ah~ ah, what powerful praise, please... please don't stop..."
"Wiz, I'm counting on you to take Darkness with you tomorrow!"
Seeing Darkness's flushed face, Mo Li decisively handed the matter over to Wiz, as he no longer wanted to have any more contact with Darkness.
And so, Darkness was dragged away by Wiz, unable to go against Mori's wishes even though she didn't want to.
Time quickly passed to the next day, the day that Kazuma Sato would be tried.
Trials in this world are very simple: prosecutors collect evidence, defense lawyers refute it, and if the judge believes the defendant is indeed guilty, he will sentence him.
There is no such profession as lawyer in this world; the defense is handled by the defendant's relatives and friends.
The so-called court was nothing more than an open-air venue where the residents of Axel and members of the Adventurers' Guild gathered, with Kazuma standing in the very center.
Beside it was the instrument of execution: a rope.
Mo Li, Darkness, Youyou, and Wiz hid in the Divine Might Space, quietly watching the scene below.
The judge struck his gavel, and the onlookers immediately fell silent. The judge then announced the start of the court session.
"Next, we will proceed with the trial of the defendant, Kazuma Sato!"
Kazuma Sato kept taking deep breaths, looking very nervous, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
Seeing this, Huihui came to Kazuma's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a confident look:
"Don't be so nervous, it's okay, I'll make that judge cry!"
"As a clergyman, my words carry great weight, so just leave everything to me!"
Aqua also tried to comfort him, but it was clear that Kazuma Sato didn't trust what Aqua said.
Kazuma even leaned close to Aqua's ear and whispered:
"Listen carefully, Aqua, this concerns my life. You must not say a word. As long as you remain quiet until the trial is over, I will buy you some red crabs."
"What nonsense are you talking about? If Kazuma is sentenced to prison or death, he won't even be able to buy me crabs. Don't worry, I've also completed Ace Attorney and Danganronpa!"
"I see, I understand just from your answer. Please, please don't say anything!"
Chapter 299 The Demon King Appears, the Hero is on the verge of tears.
When faced with Kazuma's request, Aqua turned around with unusual displeasure, revealing a look that showed she would never give up.
Aldap looked over; he had already received Mo Li's orders, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips, as if he could foresee what was about to happen.
Aqua felt very uncomfortable under Aldap's gaze, and quietly went to Kazuma's ear and said:
"Hey, why is that old man staring at us? I sense an evil aura emanating from him. I really want to purify him, Kazuma!"
"I'm begging you, please don't do that! Things have already gotten really bad, don't cause any more trouble!"
The gavel fell again, and the judge began the trial.
"Silence. No talking during the court session. Now, the inspector, please step forward!"
As soon as the judge finished speaking, Inspector Serena stood up, holding the indictment in her hand, and slowly walked to the judge.
"A threat to the lord's life is a major event that could shake the very foundation of the nation. Therefore, we request that the defendant, Kazuma Sato, be convicted of subversion of state power!"
"objection!"
Just as Serena finished reading the indictment, Aqua stood up confidently, made Phoenix Wright's signature gesture, and shouted loudly.
Aqua still had a satisfied smile on her face, as if she really was possessed by Phoenix Wright.
But the next moment, the judge struck the gavel again and urged:
"It is not yet time for the defense counsel to make their statements. Permission must be obtained before speaking!"
"It's okay, I just wanted to say those two words. Ah, it feels so good!"
Aqua obediently retreated, making Kazuma Sato want to slap the idiot unconscious.
The judge, who was also seeing this scene for the first time, coughed twice and then said to Serena:
"Inspector, please provide evidence to support your claim that the defendant should be charged with subversion of state power!"
"I understand. Now, please have the witness come forward!"
At Serena's command, the knight brought the witnesses to the courtroom, almost all of whom were adventurers from that battle.
Of course, there were also a few familiar faces; Dust, Luna, and others were all called by Sena to testify.
Based on the testimonies of witnesses and bystanders, Kazuma has been identified as a public enemy of women, a sex offender, and a scumbag. The various glaring stares made Kazuma cover her ears.
After the witness finished speaking, Serena turned to face the judge and said confidently:
"The testimony just now is enough to prove Kazuma Sato's character, so I have reason to suspect that the defendant harbored a grudge against the victim and used teleportation to move the corona ore to the victim's residence!"
"That's enough, hurry up and execute that guy!"
Aldap looked impatient, his eyes full of disdain, and urged him on.
Seeing this, Huihui immediately stepped forward and pointed at Sena, saying:
“I object. I agree that Kazuma’s personality is indeed distorted, but this testimony doesn’t even qualify as evidence. If you’re going to say that Kazuma is a terrorist, then provide some decent factual basis.”
"Yes, that's it. Show me the facts!"
Aqua chimed in, but Kazuma knew that Megumin was the real main force in this trial.
Serena calmly adjusted her glasses and said confidently:
“Factual basis, alright then. First, you say you defeated the Headless Horseman, but as far as I know, it was the Demon King who did it, right? You survived the battle with the Demon King, but Mitsuki Hibiki died at the Demon King's hands.”
"Secondly, the release of explosive magic near the town altered the terrain and ecosystem, resulting in significant noise pollution in Axel late at night these past few days."
"Third, eyewitness reports indicate that the defendant used the skill draintouch, which is only available to the undead."
Every time Sena said something, Aqua, Megumin, and Kazuma all lowered their heads and covered their ears.
Remain silent! I will exercise my right to remain silent!
"Finally, the decisive evidence is that when I asked you if you had any connection with the Demon King's army, the magical artifact sensed that you were lying. Doesn't that count as evidence?"
After Serena finished speaking, the room fell silent.
Aqua stood up, frantically shaking Megumin's collar, beads of sweat already forming on her forehead.
Mo Li could see everything clearly from above. It seemed that he didn't even need to appear in person to convict He Zhen.
It's a bit of a shame, this guy is really pretty useless.
Mo Li sighed and looked at Darkness beside him, who was watching the scene below with nervousness.
Aldap, no longer wanting to engage in their squabbles, spoke directly to the judge:
"That's enough! This guy is undoubtedly connected to the Demon King's army. He's the one who delivered the explosives to my residence. Sentence him to death immediately!"
Just as Aldap finished speaking, Kazuma had a sudden inspiration and shouted:
"No, I have absolutely no connection with the Demon King's army, and I am not a terrorist!"
"What are you still saying now? Let's verify whether your testimony is true or false."
"Watch closely, I'm telling you, I'm neither an ally of the Demon King's army nor a terrorist!"
Kazuma Sato's words did not ring the bell for the magic item, leaving the lord speechless.
Upon seeing this, Serena was also incredulous and bit her lower lip.
Magical items don't lie, and this is also the basis for judges to determine whether a criminal has committed a crime.
"The inspector argues that the defendant should be identified based on magical artifacts. However, it seems I can no longer accept the evidence you presented. Therefore, the defendant, Kazuma Sato, is found guilty due to insufficient evidence..."
Just as the judge was about to bring down the gavel and declare He Zhen innocent, a flame descended upon the center of the courtroom.
I thought this would finally bring Sato Kazuma to justice, but it seems I'll have to step in myself.
"Sato Kazuma, you really shouldn't be underestimated when it comes to luck!"
A familiar voice came from the flames, and Kazuma's eyes widened as he looked towards the center.
Aqua trembled and crouched on the ground. The powerful aura of the Demon King made it hard for her to breathe, a feeling exactly the same as when she last encountered the Demon King.
As the smoke gradually dissipated, the figures of Mo Li and his group were revealed. Mo Li was still in the same adventurer form he had taken with the fake witch last time, and Darkness even greeted Kazuma.
“Darkness…and Morley, Wiz, great, you’re here to testify for me!”
"Testify? No, no, no, Kazuma Sato, I came here specifically to save you!"
Mo Li's lips curled into a wicked smile as he spoke to He Zhen with a sincere expression.
Kazuma was also surprised when Mo Li suddenly mentioned something about storming the execution ground. Although he was very grateful to Mo Li, he thought, "I was about to be released without charge, so what makes you think you're doing coming out now?"
"Darkness, weren't you kidnapped by the Demon King? How come you're with Mr. Mo Li?"
"This...that...actually, Mo Li is..."
"Oh? Kazuma, you haven't noticed yet? It really is. You should be quite familiar with this look!"
After Mo Li finished speaking, a black light shone from his body, restoring him to his original appearance.
Kazuma's eyes widened, and his legs trembled uncontrollably. He would never forget that sight.
"The Demon... the Demon King is here!!!"
Upon hearing this, the audience outside the arena immediately erupted into chaos, scattering in all directions, creating a scene of utter confusion.
Before long, only Kazuma Sato, Megumin, Aldap, the judge, and Sena remained in the arena. As for Aqua, she had long since disappeared.
Kazuma braced himself against the table to keep from collapsing to the ground. After all, this guy in front of him had already killed him once, and fear gripped his heart.
Darkness scratched her face, looking embarrassed, as if she were part of the Demon King's army. How was she going to explain this to her family?
Chapter 300 Kazuma Dies Again, Megumin and Yuuyu's Duel
Seeing this, Aldap immediately stood up, pointed at Kazuma Sato, and shouted:
"See? You're one of the Demon King's men. Even the Demon King himself came to rescue you. What else is there to say?"
"So you've misunderstood, I really didn't..."
"What are you talking about, Kazuma Sato? Come on, come with me, the Knights will be here soon!"
Before Kazuma could admit it, Mo Li grabbed Kazuma's collar, picked up Huihui with his other hand, and leaped away from the spot.
Mo Li's actions directly confirmed Kazuma's connection with the Demon King's army. Everyone witnessed this, and the judge quickly brought down his gavel and issued an arrest warrant for Kazuma Sato.
This is exactly what Mo Li wanted to achieve: since he couldn't kill you, he also couldn't let you live too comfortably.
