trial (2)

“You said you were waiting for me?”

At the words of unknown intent, my gaze naturally turned to their waists.

On their waists, the katana, the weapon of a true man, was invisible, and white rapiers and staffs similar to those of piers were tightly bound.

The moment I saw the rapier tied to the waist, their image within me changed from a mysterious group to a mysterious gay group.

Seeing everyone wearing the staff one by one on the rapier, I could recognize that they were magic swordsmen who revered Pierre.

‘Are you here to cheer for me again? .’

I thought about it for a moment, but it was still too early to make a decision.

Maybe they see the katana tied to my waist and change their mind even now and try to walk the right path.

If they came to me with such a thought, I asked them, having decided to teach them the art of footwork out of compassion.

“Are you here to switch to katana, realizing that using a rapier is foolish?”

“yes? Oh no… .”

It wasn’t. Now that I think about it, not a single person just nodded to my question.

Fuck… If even one person just said yes, would it be any better?

“Then what… Are you here to cheer? Who are you in the first place?”

“Excuse me. My name is Karn Madrini. And this one… .”

The man, Dan, by the name of Karn, pointed to his colleagues one by one and said their names, but most of them didn’t listen because he wasn’t interested.

“We are fascinated by Pierre’s heroic story, and we adore him… .”

“I know that just by looking at it, but why did you come to me? How did you know me… .”

“Yes… That’s the impression I heard from the villagers and it fits so well… .”

And seeing him clinging to the wagon, he could tell at a glance that I was the one who took down the robo, Karn said.

“Did you hear from the villagers?”

“Yes, and more importantly, we are the ones who brought this to the Peer family.”

They formed a gathering of magic swordsmen to worship Pierre, and each year they gathered to worship on the date of Pierre’s death.

And again this year, as that period approached, they gathered to visit Pom Pong City to witness what I had done.

At first, they were angry when they saw the damaged statue, but when they heard that I had defeated the Robo, they controlled their anger and thought about it.

If the weapon was the goal, I would just have to take it without making a fuss.

No matter how much you claim the achievement of defeating Robo, if you insult Pierre, you are just throwing away the achievement yourself.

After thinking for a long time, they recalled the actions of the Peer family and set up a hypothesis.

Pier’s death with so many questions.

Robo, the magical beast that guards Pier’s grave, and Marga, the higher spirit of the earth, who has not appeared since signing a contract with Pier.

If Marga didn’t leave and stayed by Pierre’s grave… And what if the truth about Pierre’s death was told to the strong man who defeated Robo?

When my thoughts reached that point, it seemed as if I knew what the truth was even if I didn’t hear it myself.

If the thought that popped into my head right now is true, wouldn’t it be possible to explain all the martial arts and deeds that I couldn’t believe are the descendants of a hero?

“I could understand why he acted like that, even though it was certain that he would lose if it spreads to trial. You listened to all the truth and did that to relieve Pierre-sama’s anger!!”

“… … her.”

Hearing Karn’s shouting so much, I couldn’t help but say anything.

“Are you a detective by profession? How do you say it as if you saw it from the side… ?”

“Yeah, that’s right!!”

They sighed in relief when I said that I was right, because they were worried that there might be something wrong with their hypothesis.

“Ian-sama!!”

Half-crying, Karn grabbed my hand and, fearing that AIDS might be right, I shook it off.

Karn continued to speak while bewildered at the sight of the shaken hand.

“I have never seen a knight as righteous as you!! You risked the disgrace of insulting a hero in order to relieve the pain of the hero you adore!”

“What? what kind of bullshit Who worships whom?”

“yes? You are Pierre… .”

I slapped him on the cheek at an unbearable nonsense.

When a dry sound rang out, they all shut their mouths, which had been noisy a while ago.

“Who worships such a pathetic man… The swordsman I admire is the only swordsman with a cross scar on his cheek.”

Saying that, I spit on the floor, and Karn, who had been grabbing my slapped cheek, asked with a trembling voice.

“… Then, why are you trying to avenge Pierre-sama?”

It’s a stupid question that doesn’t even deserve an answer. Why are you wasting your time doing that?

“I ask you the other way around, if you see a person in danger on the road, and you won’t save him just because he doesn’t use a rapier?”

“yes? Oh no… That’s why I won’t refuse a helping hand… .”

“That’s it. Even though Pierce has committed a mortal sin of humiliation for raising a rapier carrier like you, there is no reason for him to suffer such a terrible thing!!”

“… … !!”

With those words, I left them behind and left. I don’t know if they understood what I was saying, but I did everything I had to say.

*****

Time passed in an instant, and a few days after the mother and daughter arrived at the academy, the long-awaited trial day finally arrived.

Although the academy had a tribunal to inquire about the crimes of citizens and students, so much attention was paid to this trial that the tribunal could not accommodate all the audience.

In order to accommodate as many spectators as possible, the academy’s central hall was temporarily remodeled and turned into a courthouse.

‘It doesn’t make sense to think about it again… .’

No matter how much interest is drawn, is it okay to leave the courtroom intact to accommodate more audiences and do this?

It was a nonsense that would never have happened if it were Earth, but in this sloppy fantasy world, the nonsense turned into reality with the help of a few high-ranking nobles.

“It’s the same everywhere you go… .”

“Because they were hated by the aristocratic society in many ways.”

It was a time when I was sighing as I looked at the courthouse that had been built to prosper. Jessica, who was silently watching the courthouse, interrupted from the side.

“But are you really okay? They say that our family will lend us a lawyer… .”

“There are strong witnesses, and that’s okay.”

First of all, I can’t tell Jessica, but I’ve been through a lot of lawsuits on Earth.

Although it was over the shoulder and learned, there was no problem in proceeding with the lawsuit even if there was no lawyer.

“Slowly people are starting to come in.”

Jessica said:

“Before it gets crowded, then I’ll just go to my seat.”

So Jessica left and before the trial began, I went to the assigned seat.

As I stood in the defendant’s seat, the eyes of everyone gathered in the central hall focused on me.

I also looked at the people sitting in the audience to pass the time while waiting.

Not only Jessica, who had been exposed before, but also the princes Euclid and Nana gathered in the central hall to witness the trial.

And when this Euclid went to the audience, Lane was also sitting near Euclid.

‘Marina… I’m sitting in the dean’s seat… .’

I looked to see if anyone knew anyone, and Hori, who luckily found a seat close to the judge’s seat, waved to me.

‘These guys are here too.’

Karn, who was slapped by me a few days ago, and some of her colleagues also seemed to have managed to get a ticket.

When our eyes met, Karn, who had a complicated expression on his face, bowed his head.

I was in the middle of looking around the audience to see who else knew a face. The atmosphere in the courtroom, which had been noisy, began to gradually calm down.

As they looked at where they were looking for something, they opened the door and saw a mother and daughter walking leisurely in silence.

‘Those sluts… !!’

Wearing a dress that was not as revealing as what she wore yesterday, all eyes were on her, regardless of age or gender.

It wasn’t a friendly gaze, but they headed towards the manuscript seat with an attitude of enjoying the gaze.

[Groo… !!!]

It was okay when I looked through the window yesterday, and Nang-a began to bark, as if she had felt her scent strongly as she faced her like this.

“Nang-ah, be patient for now.”

Whispering that he would soon feed them a lot of blood, Nang-a barely calmed down and silenced her voice.

‘Is it like a memory engraved on the soul?’

When I barked at them earlier, the unusually trembling of their scabbard seemed unusual in their anger towards them.

I wondered what was going on with Karn’s party, so some of them had the momentum to cut them down right away if it wasn’t for the courthouse.

Among them, Karn was the most angry, and his angry body was leaking out of uncontrollable jealousy and magic.

“You, you… !”

The mother and daughter Pong Pong, who were sitting on the manuscript seat, looked at my face and remembered what had happened in the carriage, and their faces turned blue.

Considering what would happen to them soon, it was an appropriate expression.

After a while, the three judges from the Royal Justice Office were seated at the law school, and the Justice Office officials sat in the seats prepared in front of them, and the trial began.

“Then, from now on, the trial regarding the return of the belongings left by the magic swordsman Ray von Pierre will begin. Please speak from the plaintiff side.”

One of the judges spoke, and the lawyer sitting on the plaintiff’s seat stood up and said:

“Yes, Judge. The plaintiff resolutely demands that the defendant, Prince Ian Ba Tou, return the remains of the great hero Pierre.”

The opposing attorney’s argument was as follows:

Although it is said that I have the achievements of subjugating the robo, the ownership of the weapon was absolutely hers, and if you look at the steps taken after the subjugation, it is said that you can never hand over the weapon to me.

When I came up with a plausible cause, the judge nodded understandingly, and then turned to me and said:

“Then tell the defendant now.”

“Yes, Judge. I’m pompom… No, I have no intention of returning Pierre’s belongings to them, and I can’t return them anymore.”

At those words, not only the plaintiff’s seat, but the law school as well as the entire audience became in turmoil.

“Hmm… !”

The presiding judge asked me again, who calmed the noisy spectators as if this was the market floor.

“Defendant, that… What does it mean to be non-returnable?”

“Yeah, that’s… .”

In answer to that, I pulled out the baby girl that was fastened to her waist.

“I disbanded the rapier and the staff and reincarnated them as katana.”

“… … … Yes?”

The court was overturned.
