Helping with Adventurer Party Management

When we got to our seats, the man in the middle of the five priests sitting in the front opened his mouth and proclaimed it violently.

"It is now a matter of investigating and arbitrating the disputes of deputies in the territory controlled by the Nicolo Priesthood. In this small court, the two are subject to the provisions of ecclesiastical law, so that they answer only facts and truths, and are mindful of statements that contribute to the convergence of disputes. May I?"

Apparently, you won't be handed a sentence for flying away, and you'll hear what this one has to say.

"I agree"

A Judge-like man on deputy Katsura's side stood up and offered his consent.

I see. Oh, you do.

When I nodded and showed them too, Claudio stood up and similarly indicated "I agree".

They only have their own laws called church law and their own courts, and the trials are quite sophisticated.

Numerous legal experts are needed to facilitate this type of trial.

It is also clear from the experience of dealing with several young clergy that the Church offers civic education, mainly in law. Conversely, I guess it's the church that allows for this kind of talented and extravagant trial.

"Well, this time the territorial jurisdiction has been encroached upon, is that true?"

"Yes, it is a fact. By virtue of the territory under the jurisdiction of my Lord, Lord Pulpan, the men of Kenji, who claim to be the next deputies there, invaded the territory without authorization, abducting the villagers and even the priests of the Church. This would clearly constitute a violation of jurisdiction over territory, as well as property rights. My Lord is suing the Kenzi for trespassing, looting of property."

Little guy talks to perky a lot. Probably an expert in litigation.

It looks like something I hastily hired in the last few days.

"I see. So, any objections?

Now it's your turn.

You can leave it to Claudio, but you'd be better impressed to answer for yourself.

Speak in the eyes of a man who looks like a judge.

"Lord Pulpin's appeal is untrue"

"What's the basis for that?

"First of all, I have not broken into said territory. For the past week or so, I've always been in my own workshop with the city's leather streets. The same answer should come back not only to the craftsmen in my workshop, but also to my neighborhood workshop. We are also confident that the same answer should come back even if we contact the gatekeeper through the castle gate"

"Hmm. So what about the charge that you did the kidnapping?

"We do have protection in my workshop about a few villagers. But it was sued by the villagers for physical, life hazards, so they had to protect it on a humanitarian basis. Evidence of this was that the villagers who reached my workshop were very frightened. Nowadays, he lives in peace under a resilient escort and is also in a controlled state about his diet and hygiene. For my part, I intend to allow them to return to the village whenever the conditions are in place for their lives and bodies to be protected. Nor do I derive any financial benefit from protecting them. Rather, the more the cost of guaranteeing life is increasing. So this is not a kidnapping."

"I see."

Lies are among technology if it's an ordinary courtroom struggle, but there is magic in this world.

If this is to be a trial in a court of law within the great system that the clergy holds, there is no denying the possibility that magic will be used somewhere.

Or maybe, after a moment, they're already using magic and just can't feel it.

So as a matter of policy, I'm not going to tell you a lie.

In fact, the defense I've mentioned so far contains no lies.

"Can we show evidence?

"If necessary, we can gather all the evidence and testimony"

I've only stated the facts so far that no matter how much I suspect, I don't have a piece of cloudiness in my mind.

You were satisfied with me looking straight into your eyes and answering, the judge like man nodded.
