The security team took Linnie and Lynette up with them.

Yingmei continued to gather evidence from the tunnel.

There is only one ventilation opening inside the tunnel.

Leading to the opera house's basement.

No one has come out since the incident.

This is a completely sealed room.

Charlotte: If things continue this way, Lenny will likely find it difficult to escape this charge.

[Ying: Isn't there no evidence?]

[Kaiya: Have you forgotten that the debates and the audience's choices all influence the "Cardinal Decree"?]

[Ying: Fine, fine, if you can't prove my innocence, then I'm guilty!]

[D'Artagnan: Is this machine really okay?]

The group ate macarons while analyzing the case.

The second day finally arrived.

The trial has begun.

Furina used a taunt right from the start.

"Look at you all, all so dejected! Your investigation yielded nothing, didn't it?"

"It is only natural that a guilty person could find proof of innocence."

"But don't stop here, you are my most promising opponent."

"Don't give up too easily, or I'll be very disappointed."

Navilette announced the start of the court session.

Linni first succinctly revealed the secret of the magic trick.

The audience below was all amazed.

Navelette asked a question.

"Then, Mr. Linnie, I can assume that your testimony is..."

"You hid inside the magic box next to the audience as soon as the magic trick started, making it impossible for you to commit the crime, is that right?"

Linnie: "Yes, Mr. Grand Inquisitor."

Navelette prompted Funina to begin her rebuttal.

Funinna was very excited.

"Of course, of course, I'll light the first one."

Funina struck her signature pose.

"Mr. Linni, you're lying!"

She believed that Linnie was going to kidnap Halsey and kill Cowell.

It's impossible to stay in the box forever.

It might not even be inside the tunnel.

[Paimon: Does Linney really have to prove he's been in the box the whole time?]

[Ying: No, you're saying you can deduce the conditions from the result like that?]

[Navia: Lady Frynn, this is how it is most of the time...]

[Furina: Ahem, I haven't finished speaking yet, don't rush me, don't rush me]

Linni, of course, would not admit it.

Funin asked him.

"So what did you hear inside the box?"

Linni replied.

"Of course, it's a deafening countdown. I rely on that to time things and create surprises."

Funina pressed for an answer.

"Is that all? Didn't any sounds leave an impression on you?"

Linni shook her head. "No more."

[Funina: See? See? You really didn't know.]

[Ying: Many people heard that strange noise, why didn't you hear it?]

[Linnie: ...]

Paimon: Did we really help the wrong person?

[Araki Ichito: This is interesting, hahaha]

Funina is confident of victory.

"But when the countdown reached about 30 seconds, there was a muffled sound in the venue, and I believe everyone heard it."

The audience members all indicated that they heard it.

the most important is.

Yingmei defended Linni.

She heard it too.

Linni is definitely hiding something.

At this moment, the "Cardinal Decree" made his stance clear.

It began to tilt towards Funina.

Funina began her impromptu performance.

She felt she was about to win.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to quote the magician himself: Choose your blinking carefully."

"You all saw it; this is the moment the alibi collapsed!"

She also indicated that she had a trump card up her sleeve.

"You and Lynette are actually from the House of Hearth, right?"

The House of the Hearth belongs to the Fools.

At this point, Funina's expression clearly became serious.

Upon hearing this, Navelette's expression changed.

[Damn, it was the Fools' doing all along. Now I'm not surprised at all.]

No wonder he did this.

I think that accidents on stage aren't necessarily accidents.

[Ying: You managed to keep this kind of information from me? There's no point in talking anymore. You should get a new lawyer.]

[Ying: I'll give you the contact information for the flirtatious lawyer; he's more suitable for your group of fools.]

Paimon: We're actually defending the Fools!

Diluc: The audience's attitude is my attitude.

[Datalia: Our reputation is really, really bad.]

Linni stated that his identity does not prove his connection to the case.

Funina crossed her arms over her chest.

“Indeed, then you can simply tell us everything that happened in this minute right here in front of us.”

She pressed on relentlessly.

"For you right now, getting off the bus is the top priority. You shouldn't have anything you can't talk about."

"Unless, the script is contradictory."

Fu Ningna looked at Yingmei in silence.

He simply put both hands on his hips.

He struck a pose as if victory was assured.

I was already expressing my feelings in my heart.

The traveler in the foreign land remained silent, appearing utterly shocked.

'Haha, now they're going to start fighting amongst themselves, right? That was such an easy win!'

'Phew... I was so nervous about this trial that I couldn't sleep all night. Ugh.'

Chapter 243 Target Instruction: Cardinal Decree, Funina Quickly Returns to Defense

[Haha, as expected of Fontaine's mascot, Lady Funina is just too adorable!]

[This system is amazing; it can even hear your thoughts!]

[They even have these little gestures and expressions!]

[Ying: Is opening champagne at halftime also a power of the Water God?]

[Furina: Th-this...]

[Paimon: I couldn't sleep all night because I was worried, that's so weird!]

[Hiyōzō Kanoin: The preparations for this night were indeed quite thorough]

Amber: I remember the Traveler wasn't very friendly towards the Fools.

[Charlotte: As expected of Lady Frynn, was this also part of your calculations?]
