I love time travel the most!

However, she overlooked the bottom line of a certain goddess.

"Tsk tsk tsk." Aqua clicked her tongue dismissively, twirling her index finger in the air before saying with great interest, "Megumin, do you know what a defense attorney is?"

"Um???"

"They are people who help criminal suspects and defendants exercise their right to defense in order to protect their legitimate rights and interests."

Huihui's question will be answered by Darkness.

She was a true aristocratic young lady, so she was quite familiar with this kind of knowledge.

At this moment, the goddess of water also opened her arms, as if embracing the whole world.

An aura of holiness and purity emanated from it.

However, her words were anything but holy: "You know, Huihui. A good lawyer can not only clear the name of a wrongly accused suspect, but also clear the name of a suspect who is not wrongly accused. It doesn't matter, just blame the devil and the lich."

Scum!

What a complete scumbag!

Darkness and Megumin said: 6

However, considering that the other party was a high priestess (goddess) who deeply hated demons and liches, the two were not surprised.

Hum hum.

Aqua said with a hint of pride, "Although I have Kazuma's trial completely under my control, I think it would be better to practice a little more."

“That’s right, this is the first time I’ve experienced a trial…”

"I agree too!"

Huihui and Darkness immediately agreed.

Although ostensibly a rehearsal for their later defense, the three of them seemed to simply want to take the opportunity to play role-playing games.

"So, in conclusion!"

Let's decide on the roles first!

“I’ll be the presiding judge, Huihui will be the Kingdom’s prosecutor, and Darkness, you can be the defense attorney first, okay?”

Aqua quickly assigned roles.

Huihui and Darkness readily accepted.

role play.

The three of them seemed to be enjoying themselves.

"Then, the court is now in session!"

Aqua stood in front of the coffee table, took out a fan to use as a gavel for the judge, and signaled that it was time to officially begin.

Huihui was the first to speak up: "Kazuma, whether it's commissioning or directing, he did it all by himself! There's something wrong with it no matter how you look at it, sentence him to death immediately for treason!"

It must be said that Huihui's imitation of Sena is very similar; both of them condemn people without any explanation.

When it was Dakness's turn to defend herself, she immediately denied it, saying, "No, I don't believe that Kazuma deliberately damaged the rock field. Even if he did, it wouldn't constitute treason. What evidence do you have?"

"...Wait, isn't it disturbing the peace? Why is it considered treason?"

Huihui was stunned for a moment.

Darkness inadvertently elevated the crime to a higher level, transforming Kazuma Sato, who would normally only require punishment or penal servitude, into someone deserving the death penalty.

We absolutely cannot let this guy be our defense attorney; his level of professionalism is comparable to that of a certain amazing lawyer who defends against a specific opponent!

Darkness blushed with embarrassment, realizing she had made a fool of herself.

However, the role-playing continues.

"You're talking about evidence, right?"

Megumin, clutching her mage's hat, slammed her tablet down with a loud thud and shouted, "That guy... he admitted several times that he stole and ate the precious sweets I hid, and he even replaced the expensive sparkling wine that Aqua bought on credit with water..."

Click!

Before he could finish speaking, a crisp sound rang out.

Turning to look at Aqua, who was playing the role of judge in front of the coffee table, her beautiful face was full of anger, the veins on her forehead were bulging, and the fan in her hand had been broken in two.

He clearly couldn't hold back his emotions after hearing that his wine had been replaced with water.

"--death penalty!!!"

Aqua slammed her hand on the table.

"Your Honor, this man is guilty of heinous crimes!"

"Guilty! Anything related to food is a serious crime!!!"

I could tolerate everything else, but he actually replaced the bubble wine I bought on credit with water! This guy deserves the death penalty!

"Wait, wait a minute! This has nothing to do with disturbing the peace!"

Seeing the scene descend into chaos, Darkness quickly tried to stop the two who were going berserk. However, the harm that the heinous Sato Kazuma had inflicted on them was too great, and they could not quell their anger towards him.

After the commotion subsided.

"No! If this continues, Kazuma will be executed!"

"Wait a minute, there wasn't really anything serious wrong with it!"

Aqua's overreaction was met with strong rebuttal from Darkness.

"Cough cough..."

Aqua coughed and said, "There's no other way, let's reassign the roles. Megumin, you'll be the presiding judge, Darkness will be the kingdom's prosecutor, and I, Aqua-sama, will be the defense attorney!"

"Please, you'd better defend me well."

"Leave it to me! I'll show you what the best defense attorney can do!"

Aqua confidently patted her ample chest, but the more confident she was, the more unsettling it became. After all, she always seemed to falter at crucial moments.

"Then... let the trial resume!"

Snapped!

Huihui tapped the coffee table.

Darkness then adopted a serious expression and said, "Regarding Kazuma's previous actions, blowing up the rock field is tantamount to damaging the surrounding environment. Therefore, it constitutes disturbing the peace..."

That's utter bullshit!

Aqua puffed out her chest, pointed her right hand forward, and forcefully interrupted Darkness's speech.

Such force caused the air to freeze.

Aqua let out a triumphant sigh, as if she had accomplished some great mission.

Darkness opened his mouth, puzzled, and asked, "Oppose? What are you objecting to?"

Aqua asked in surprise, "Oppose what... I just oppose it."

"So, what's your point of view that you disagree with?!"

"No, I just wanted to shout 'That's all bullshit!'"

"Defend me properly!"

Darkness loudly reprimanded the mischievous Aqua.

"Although that's what you're saying, Aqua will be speaking next. Alright, please let the defense attorney present her case."

"Hmm—if it's that shut-in..."

Aqua thought for a moment and said, "Kazuma wouldn't do something as obvious as rebellion. If we have to say, he's more like the mastermind behind it all!"

His confident demeanor almost made Darkness and Megumin burst with suppressed rage.

Huihui, playing the role of the presiding judge, asked very realistically, "Um... so, he either gave someone an order to commit treason, or subtly induced them, right?"

"Actually, it was he who instructed Huihui to use explosion magic to destroy the mine, right?"

Aqua spoke as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

Darkness couldn't help but angrily retort, "Isn't that tantamount to confessing?!"

"Hey! Did I make a mistake?!"

This guy is on the same level as Darkness. If he defends someone else, it won't lessen his crime; instead, it could lead to the death penalty.

There is no hope.

Whether it's them or Kazuma Sato, who's locked up in jail, they're all completely beyond saving.

"Um!" Huihui suddenly called out, and said timidly, "That thing from earlier... I'd like to try it too, is that okay?"

"That one just now?"

"That's 'utter bullshit'!"

The little Crimson Demon girl's eyes emitted a bright, scarlet light, probably because Aqua's aura was so strong that it made her want to give it a try.

"Yes, yes..."

"Any particular reason?"

Aqua and Darkness exchanged a glance, but they did not stop Megumin.

It would be a shame to not fully enjoy a role-playing game.

Having received permission, Megumin tossed her cloak behind her, struck the same pose as Aqua, and shouted with overwhelming force:

"—That's utter bullshit!!!"

Then, a blush appeared on the little girl's face as she posed.

It felt so good!

This feeling of happiness, while not as great as unleashing explosive magic, is still really quite nice.

Aqua suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"By the way! I say, let's all practice [utter nonsense]! If the other side is intimidated by our momentum, the judgment will definitely turn in our favor!"
