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 Ei"

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 towas 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 like, "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 froht 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' 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 od's naods 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 rooot 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 stops there, so Ito 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 co to 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 sooing 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 fro"

"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 leadership 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'uy'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
