Chapter 448 (1/2)
16-42 [Judicial Nation] Sheriffald (6)
Satou here It's easy to predict moves of people who are true to their desires and objectives, regardless if they're just or evil While it's not that simple to read the action patterns of altruistic people
“That's Saga Empire's–”
The audience buzzed in whispers
“–Hero Seigi”
As if their words never reached Hero Seigi, he grandly stepped forward toward the judge
Everyone's eyes are gathered at Hero Seigi
Clad in faint blue light, his steps showed no hint of hesitation
This boy sure is quite brazen considering he was just an ordinary middle schooler until only recently
“I'm back”
Arisa suddenly showed up next to me
“Good work, Arisa Your ti was perfect”
“Fer' sure All that staling tactics were really tireso Master's praise”
I had asked Arisa to bring Hero Seigi here at this ti
Arisa is clinging onlike, “Hey Master, I don't nore her like usual
“Hero Seigi-dono, what do you have to object?”
The judge inquired Hero Seigi
“I know–”
Hero Seigi covers his face with his hand and looks around at the surrounding people froers
Blue light dwells in his eyes
“–that you are evil! Pitch darker evil than anyone here!”
And then he vigorously pointed his finger at a certain person
“T-the chief?”
Inspector Starry behind the chief let out his surprise
That's right, the one whoi pointed at was the Chief of the Central Judicial Bureau
“The Ogre of Impartial Law is 『Evil』?”
“He may be a hero, but he's still a kid after all Soated him into it”
The people around us don't seem to think the Chief to be evil
“I am evil you say? What evidence do you–”
“I'm the evidence!”
Hero declared so while being clad in blue light
“The 『Justice Mind's Eye (There is only one Truth)』 and 『Evil Search (Where's the Bad People at)』 bestowed to me by Parion-sama informed me! That you are evil! In the name of Parion-sama, I declare here! You are evil!”
I think the chief was asking for evidence, but Hero Seigi made a declaration under God's name as if that didn't matter
In a world where Gods exist for real, the words of heroes beckoned by Gods theht
At the very least, the countless Truth Discerners here should be able to testify that he hasn't told a lie
Still, nevertheless, soive up
“Without any evidence–”
『I went and 』
Another voice overlapped with the Chief's
“T-this is the chief's voice?”
“T-that's!”
“The chief's room”
A video showing the chief's back froot projected here
This recording was taken by the Sage Mice that had snuck in
The ie quality is not the best due to the limitation of the portable recorders, please don't mind it
『We must prune out all the abscesses to turn this imperfect country into a perfect country only for justice, and hu all evil–』
The recording stops there, so I
Since He wasn't going to show his true color even after all the shake-up, I e Mice to burn Confession Incenses before they could finally take the recording earlier, but his self-control was too strong, the ue ended abruptly
But there was no , and no evidence that he knew about the crii's Unique Skill and Hero's brand
“I can't believe it was the chief who created Crime Syndicate Dujii…”
Inspector Starry who's under the Chief's protection fell on his knee
“It appears that God Urion had foreseen everything”
While saying that to the Chief, I leveled the [Golden Scale] back
“I-I did it for the sake of justice To turn this country where injustice runs rampant into a perfectly just country…”
“Chief”
The vice-chief stepped forward and stopped in front of the chief as talking to himself
“No one person is completely clean”
“I know thatto eliminate evil–”
“What's the standard of that evil?”
“Isn't it obvious! The law of Sherrifald is justice! Anyone who violates the law is evil!”
They've started some troublesome conversation on their own somehow
I was going to quickly end this by branding the Chief guilty by way of [Golden Scale] trinket, but the vice-chief went on to try to correct the chief's self-righteousness
Next to ht!”, “Yup, yeah, figured”
I turned around because I thought it eird for Hero Seigi to keep silent in this situation, his
Seee user attendant from back then
“W-was …”
“Haste makes waste and only sows discords Tomorrow rather than today, the day after tomorrow rather than tomorroe have no choice but to correct it little by little”
“That's why, you were–”
The Chief and the Vice-chief are now looking at each others' eyes
I don't really care what happened afterward so long as I satisfied God Urion's order, but this would likely lead into a country without leadershi+p if it kept up, so I decided to project the last recording
『The illegal brewery has been exposed Yet so many still delers co from Corrupt City Dodobu, and that country's cloud of influence will only grow larger And it's Dodobu that houses es on our country None would be the wiser if they put so your hands in evil to protect your country, what an irony…』
The content is not dissimilar to the one with the chief earlier, however no one jeered at this
『Hero and an Earl who took on the [Trial of God Urion] huh… I loathe to borrow the powers of foreigners, but this country has no capability to save itself from itself anymore It shouldn't surprise anyone if they came to the conclusion that I'm the head of Dujii if they were to check on the docu people that Inspector Stary is investigating with ht to public…』
There was no real need to show this scene, but I put it on the screen anyway
“Vice-chief Bupa!”
“You're the true patriot!”
People who look like they've been overco vice chief
About half of the, but since the vice-chief is needed to run this country, I' my mouth shut
“But why? That guy's evil too y'know?”
Hero Seigi said that while looking like he couldn't comprehend, but unfortunately, it seemed to fall on deaf ears
『–Thou has laid bare evils under light, and corrected injustice I shall grant thee my mark』
While being bathed in indigo light, I was informed of the trial's completion at Main Urion Temple's oracle room
