"Hey, would you stop kidding me?
"There's no way Rayne would do that!
Tania and Canade bit Arios first.
We were both angry at what they said about not being sarcastic and showing clear anger emotions.
Momentum that could hit me right now.
But Arios is not frightened.
I continue to be dignified, as justice is here.
"After a rigorous investigation, I got the answer that there was no killer but Rayne."
Examiners surround us like Arios said.
He was already treated like a killer.
Cell and Axe never joined the siege net, and now they were watching.
"Why should Rain kill other adventurers? Reasons to do that...... no motive"
Sora says like a lawyer.
However, it seems that Arios presupposed the question in advance, saying it without slurring and staring.
"The victim was an adventurer who was having problems with Rayne. Rayne killed them to clear his grudges then. Alternatively, we met in the ruins and developed into trouble again. And does it feel like being cute...? Anyway, there's a motive."
"Isn't that equal to making it up?
"I think so. But the others have no contact with the victim at all. Rayne's the only one with contacts."
"Huh, treating Rayne like a killer just like that makes me laugh!
"Of course, that's not why I decided Rayne was the killer. Hey, give me an example."
At Arios' signal, one of the examiners brought the materials.
Everyone on the spot, including me.
"This material describes the condition of the victim's wounds, etc. As a result of the autopsy, I guess."
"What's wrong with that?
"I want you to look at the cause of death."
"... the scratches caused by the blade. Is that it?"
"Take a good look. It says not the sword, but the wound caused by the stabbing with a dagger causes death...... right?
"Mmm..."
"There's no one with a dagger but Rayne. Rayne uses daggers as his main weapon, but others are swords, spears, axes, etc."
"That's the point!
"I'm just stating the facts. What, shall we do a physical examination of everyone on this occasion? You can assure me that no one will come out with a dagger but Rayne."
"It's easy to dispose of daggers. Bury it on the ground, dump it in the river... it's not proof!
Luna told him that the evidence was insufficient, pointing to Bissi and Arios.
Luna is right.
If you were to arrest me just for the current story, there would be too much tyranny.
It's a messed up story, and it's not exactly acceptable.
But Arios doesn't break his spare look.
You seem absolutely certain that it must be my crime.
"When and at what time did Rayne say he did that?
Now Tina hit the question.
"You fell for the ruin trap and fell apart, didn't you? At that time, Rayne was to act alone. No one is guaranteed Rayne's actions at that time. I mean, then the crime is possible."
"It's..."
What were you doing when you got away with everyone?
Didn't that extend to the crime then?
Speaking of which, I can't help but suspect that...
But if I mention that, I don't have a kiri.
Proving my innocence then is tantamount to proving the devil.
"Uh... okay?
Axe has pinched his mouth so he can't watch.
"Rayne would have been with me."
"Hmm. Are you sure about that?
"Oh, I'm sure. If Rayne wants to go to trial, I can testify."
Lying in a trial is considered a felony.
It's a prison sentence for sending forced labor in one shot.
Strongly put so far, I wouldn't normally doubt Axe's statement.
But Arios doesn't try to change his attitude.
"I'm sorry, but I don't trust your statement."
"What?
"You used to party with Rayne, albeit temporarily, right? Old buddies, so to speak. Maybe he's speaking in favor of Rayne."
"Come on, don't argue with me. You can't do that."
"I wonder what they think objectively? Witnesses used to be buddies... isn't there a connection back there? I don't think they can help if they suspect. Am I wrong?
"Gu... hey..."
Axe gives an angry look.
I get a hiatus that I might be able to grab it, but I think I endured it at the critical point.
Arios' words are equal to claims...
But it's not even absurd bullshit.
There's no back connection between me and Axe...
If it comes from a third party who knows nothing, they can't help but think it's suspicious.
"Arios, okay?
When asked to speak, Arios nodded small.
"The motive, the method of killing, the alibi at the time of the crime... objectively, I understood I was suspicious"
"Is that a confession?
"That can't be true. I didn't do anything. First, none of the evidence is conclusive. It's just vague, isn't it? And yet Arios doesn't suspect me because he believes me to be the killer. Do you have conclusive proof that I'm the killer?
"Kuck."
Arios laughs with pleasure.
I laugh fun-filled, like I've been waiting for this time.
"I do."
Arios nodded confidently.
I guess I have a lot of confidence in showing that attitude.
What the hell kind of evidence do you have available?
"Example stuff."
On Arios' signal, the examiner brought a crystal ball.
"This is a magic trick called remembering the sights on the spot. As a precaution against fraud, this magic device is placed all over the ruins"
"What's wrong with that?
"There's a definitive moment in the record of the crime. Even if I look at him, can Rayne still cut white?
Arios manipulated the magic prop with a nigga and a malicious grin.
Crystal balls glowed pale.
So much so that the light subsides and the sight in the ruins is reflected.
A small room in the ruins was shown.
No one.
"Where's the evidence?
"Don't rush. Almost there... Look, here we come"
So much less, the victims came into the room.
They're on alert for any traps, moving slowly.
From behind... I showed up.
"Become...!?
I have a dagger in my hand...
I slowly walk behind one of the victims and wield a dagger.
The blade devoured deep, and the blood overflowed.
The stabbed place is next to my neck.
The victim collapsed from his knee, as if the puppet thread had been cut off.
It doesn't even work with Pickle as it is.
To the sudden assault, the victims panicked halfway, but immediately began to respond.
I'm only taking the A-rank promotion exam, and I'm sure of that strength.
Although one was missing, he tried to work vividly together to move back into the fight.
But... I was better at it.
I shielded the body from attack.
Plus, throw that body away.
I'm not sure how to handle my buddy's body, and the victims move dull.
In that gap, I pack my distance and put my dagger...
"Rayne, this is what you call evidence. Are you still going to cut the trigger when you see this?
"What, this... I didn't do this!
"But it's definitely you in the footage. If you have two twins, I don't know."
"That's... but I didn't kill anybody! There's been a mistake!
"You should prove your innocence in a place of judgment. Well, this is all conclusive evidence. I wouldn't be able to, though. Ha ha ha!
"Gu......"
"Get him."
The examiner moved simultaneously on the orders of Arios.
Axe and Cell are confused and not moving...
The other exams... plus the adventurers.
What do we do!? What can I do!?
