『I-I' one-sided trial

"This is all nothing but a kangaroo court Master, aren't there ?"

"Magic that can manipulate time doesn't exist, you know"

It'd be easy to prove for hiate hiht I forgot because this looked like a trial, but this world had Truth Discerners who could see through lies in an interrogation

Looking around at the Map, there's no Truth Discerner at this place

They seereatcalled Judicial Bureau, while the several re ones are in the Main Tee nearing zero, I' that they can't afford to send thement! The defendant shall reimburse his employer with 200 emir, and pay the same amount to the court for the criht here and now, you will be detained as a debt slave』

『M-e wasn't that much! My entire pay is 3 emir!』

The currency of this country, edoold coins

If you just think about it, that's an abnores

"Sa-Satou-san"

"Could you do so about it?"

"Leave it to me"

I nod to Zena-san and Sera-san, I step forward before these guys

"Foreigner, you'd do well not to trespass upon a Trial before God"

"Please excuse doe with the brand power of a large kingdoe

"Allow me to pay the penalty for that beastkin"

"You will?"

"Yes"

"Are you acquainted with this beastkin?"

"What good is in telling you that?"

I try to behave as haughtily as I could

These types of people tend to be ith social ranks after all

『Master, you're not gonna kick theic [Telephone]

『Don't worry, I'roundwork, hold on a bit okay』

I wait for the judge's reply after responding to Arisa

"V-very well"

Since I got his agreement, I paid for the beastkin's penalty

Of course, the beastkin looks really anxious

Please endure it for a bit, I'll explain to you later

I talk to the e to hiic to loosen his wariness

"The eood at his works?"

"Naw, he was useless, always skipped out on works"

He was so engrossed he forgot to use polite speech against a noble

"Has he been working under you long?"

"Since half a year ago--you have a problem?"

"Nah, it just piqued ot the employer's words, I talk to an employee who seems like a senior

These employees seem to have been pro on the silver coins he's counting

"I presu time"

"Yeah, been there for 10 years"

"Hee, you h too"

"There's no way that stingy er woulda pay it off At ot ahead of hie!"

"Objection!"

I called the judge before the senior employee could correct hi a pose froa, no doubt about it

"What is it, Earl-saht red-handed in a fraud"

"--Fraud? Don't be foolish"

"Who do you think you arefools of earl-sae

I contested to the shrinking judge, that if a diligent long serving worker only got paid 6 emir a month, there is no way that a lazy beastkin who had only worked for half a year got ht after a careless ree readily accepted my point

"Since he tried to fraud Earl-sa a crie!"

Toward the still vainly struggling employer, I whispered, "if you still have a proble this case to the Truth Discerner at the capital?"

Additionally, it appears that the other employees have to pay for penalty for the cri what they sow, I' to defend them

"N-noble-sama, thank you very much"

"Don't mind it, it was just a whiave me, to the beastkin

This is different from the money I paid out earlier

I'm told that 20 of the lawsuit suot 40 emir out of that deposit as a consolation

I handed over all of it to hiot, but I think the aht to compensate for the trouble

We parted ith the ape beastkin as bowing repeatedly, and got back to our city tour

◇

"--E"

"This was a local specialty wasn't it"

"But it does taste better than Gabo fruit"

We entered the first dinerbecause ere starving, but the cuisine left a lot to be desired

Zena-san was the only one who continued to eat even while s wryly, Arisa and Sera quickly threw in the towel

"Even forgetting the dry texture, the sour aftertaste was just too much"

"This seems to be called Sheriffa Potato"

I conveyed the info fro to the Map, there's lots of gallete-like cuisines made from Sheriffa Potato and flour made from it

"Hello, I'irl entered the door

"Oh my? This aroma is--"

"Bread"

I reirl whom Arisa clai for you"

"I'? You're not looking well, you know"

"It's nothing I just couldn't sleep well lately"

The feeble-looking girl nodded at the worried landlady and went toward her next stop

I ended up is thanks to Arisa and her stalker stuff

"Custoot some freshly baked bread here, want some?"

"We do, we do!"

Arisa swiftly juood as Lulu-ood, Sheriffa Potato dish had nothing against it

I took this chance to ask for the landlady's perot some jam and butter out for the bread

"Still, this country sure loves its trials"

Arisa gru on the bread

Most of the parks we happened to see on our way here had ongoing trials under the blue sky

"But I'lad that they were all ordinary trials, besides that one ti the palate cleanser tea

"What's this, are you guys here to attend the Trial of Scale at the capital's Judicial Bureau too?"

The landlady who see to do call out to us

"-Trial of Scale?"

Couidebook did mention that [Judicial Nation] Sheriffald had a peculiar trial

"Yeap It's a trial that makes use of God Urion's sacred treasure 『Golden Scale』 Ulrirab"

I see, the golden series this time is a scale huh

"Libra, which enderbent version ht now"

Arisa's inner voice leaked out in low voice

I know the reference, but control yourself a bit

"How does it work?"

"It can see through sins that a Truth Discener's 『Fathonize"

The landlady folded her arms like she was done with the explanation

"That sounds areeable response

I don't really get it but it must be some kind of complicated trial when [Fathos

I should ask the details e visit Urion Main Temple

"Yea, it really is! But that's also exactly why the waiting ti to the landlady, even nobles have to wait for three months, while commoners three years

"So if you want to have a trial quickly, you should go to the capital Judicial Bureau and ask Saga Ei-sauish evils, you see"

The successor of Hero Meiko who almost became a cripple at the Weasel E about this?"

Arisa, stop setting up that kind of flags please
