Chapter 447 (1/2)

16-41 [Judicial Nation] Sheriffald (5)

Satou here Things that are right to you hteousness sure can easily run wild, surprisingly enough

“To reiterate, you claim that the people on this list have created a fictitious crime syndicate known as Dujii to be a cover to conceal their criminal activities?”

The Chief of Judicial Bureau sighed as he looked at the list

After ere done with preparations, I got to the Central Judicial Bureau through the Main Urion Temple's miko's connection

The Chief's name isn't on this list

“However, I only have evidence for around half of them–”

“And those evidence are?”

“That will be for the Trial before God”

After I told the Chief that, the henchan to verbally abuse me

Well, I pay the

“Why not, we should accept it, Chief It will be a good chance to prove our innocence in front of God and other members of diet”

The man who said that was the one whose name is on top of the list, the handsome vice-chief

The Chief turned a dubious look at the guy's unexpected remark

“Our innocence will be guaranteed by the 『Golden Scale』”

The lackeys open their mouth all at once after the confident remark of the vice-chief

“T-that's right! Those participating in the Trial before God are our cohorts, ladies and gentlemen with judicial qualification!”

“They will surely believe in our innocence!”

“The Scale is always on our side!”

I'm sure they know about the Golden Scale's mechanism too

“Sir Pendragon, ill acknowledge the exercise of Trial before God However, I assume you are aware that if you were to lose in this trial, that is the sa mud in the honored faces of your country administrative?”

“Yes, of course Whether it's a fine in the nuic sword Demon Slayer that's slain a demon lord, ould yield you any item you so desired as a reimbursement if it ever comes to that”

Oh crap, Deception skill went haywire for a bit there

There's no such thing as otta make one later

“Very well–”

The Chief gave his agree at my face for a while

The flow of events so far happened exactly like we had arranged last night

“–Vice Chief Bupa and you guys, you are fine with it, correct?”

“Yes, everything under the just law”

The vice-chief replied sarcastically at the Chief

『Arisa, they acknowledged the trial here How's the preparation for the guest over there, ready to go?』

『You betcha! I got it under control quick』

I'ic [Telephone]

Even though it was a sudden visit on her part, looks like Arisa cleared it with her charm

『Co too fast would throrench in this plan,okay』

『OK, wanna in of error]?』

Arisa was see but since I couldn't recall what it was froed the call to the next person

『Satou-san, her highness Sistina's gole with the installation over here, we should be able to make it in time』

『Thank you, Sersan』

Looks like they're done with installing a device that telecasts video at the plaza

It will be showing s and world's pretty scenery until the appointed time

There should be quite a crowd gathered by the time the trial starts

『Forgive me, Satou-san I'm still not done with the construction』

Zensan gave that reply when I checked on her progress

『Was there a problem?』

『Yes actually, I saw the beastkin-san we helped in the first day getting chased by some hoodlums, so I went to save him…』

Being unable to overlook oppression of the weak is truly like Zensan

Apparently the people chasing the beastkin weren't the storein the same store

Zensan suppressed those uards

『I'll absolutely make sure to finish it before the time』

『Please don't beat yourself over it I'll be sending reinforcement your way』

It's my role to select personnels

After telling the sorry Zensan not to worry about it, I ask Hikaru at the Solitary Island Palace for help

『You sure you want to let shi+ga Kingdom be wide open?』

『No worries There hasn't been any suspicious activity there for a while, and we have guard goleoya members around too』

After equipping Hikaru with anti-backdoor iteed her to the airshi+p at the outskirts and tasked her to help Zensan

–Chuii?

When I saw ChuuFat who peeked out of e Mice who dom had come here

Well, it's not like we're living in soin thewas raised

“–Under these suspicion, they are accused to be the ones behind Crime Syndicate Dujii”

Boos and jeers erupted from people who also weren't in the list after the indictment was read aloud at the Trial before God

The presiding judge was shouting, “Keep silent!” while waving around a handbell-like thing, but most couldn't shut their mouths
