Regressor Instruction Manual

Third card (1)

“I'm right, Your Honor. ”

I tried to swallow the smile that was about to pop out for a moment.

As soon as I finished talking, there was a rumbling sound coming out of the galleries watching the game. Cardinal Basel was clumsy, but others seemed to be baffled by the sudden change.

It would be a natural reaction. If the neighbor who was sending you a good smile finds out one day that you are a drug offender, most people will look like that.

My image within the empire was good enough to pierce the sky.

Either he thought I had something, or Ito Souta started to talk urgently.

However, what the public is waiting for is not his remarks, but the truth that will come out of my mouth.

“How dare you so boldly confess your sins. Mr. Supreme Court, do you need to listen to me anymore? Currently, the plaintiff and the defendant are clearly backwards. Arrest him and follow the procedures... ”

“Restraints and procedures? I'm right, but I never confessed my sins with my mouth. The defendant is still you. ”

“If drug trafficking is not a sin, what is a sin? If it was a sin to try to pin the innocent on the perpetrator, we can say it was a sin. ”

“So I don't know what you're talking about. That's what I'm talking about, Ito Souta. ”

“It's exactly what it looks like. Ms. Lee, you just testified that you were dealing drugs with your own mouth. ”

“So what does that mean? Mr. Sauta.”

“If you want to quit.... ”

“Hallucinogens are not drugs. It's not drugs.”

I keep trying to get a laugh out of it. It was because I saw the embarrassed face of the man. They have no idea what they're thinking and what they're going to do.

I think he was also thinking about the possibility of being just bluffing, but he is being careful, so he is moving assuming that there is something here.

“Dear Supreme Court, my circulating illusion potion is not something you can call drugs. I'd like to give my Imperial citizens here a chance to explain the hallucinogens that I'm distributing. ”

“Clearly... I need an explanation. ”

“Supreme Court!”

“I'll allow you to speak. ”

Very good.

“Ito Souta's testimony is mostly true. At the Cursed Shrine, I made a psychotropic potion, and it's also true that I actually got a clue from that potion to create a hallucinogen. It is true that Kasgano Yuno and Urganosora are building a new guild and distributing potions through it. I couldn't confirm that they were being sold on the black market, but that's probably true, too. ”

“Please continue your testimony. ”

“Of course, there are more and more false testimony than the truth. It is also false to say that the Lindell terrorist incident was a drug-gang struggle, and it is also false to say that the dead Kazuma Hiroyuki was part of the Kage Guild. Of course, it's also a lie that the attempted assassination was my own charade. ”

“Supreme Court!”

“The defendant should remain silent for a moment. As the defendant has previously stated, what the plaintiff is about to testify is very important in this trial. ”

Apparently the Supreme Court has maintained a good relationship with this side as well as wants us to win the trial. I couldn't help but feel a little more empowered when I saw him cheer me without saying a word.

“Of course, the biggest lie of all is that hallucinogens are drugs. It's an absurd story. ”

“Is there a reason? ”

“A hallucinogen, to be exact, is a potion made for treatment. ”

“Healing?”

“Yes, it's a cure. Like the psychotropic potion used in the Cursed Shindanese, the illusion potion is also a medicine that has been distributed for therapeutic purposes since it was made. The defendant testifies that there are incidents in between the Kake Guild and my territorial disputes, but the facts are completely different. The Yamato Guild, where Ito Souta is holding hands with the Kake Guild. ”

The fact that the Yamato and Kake guilds are holding hands is the original setting from my brain. Of course, I didn't have any evidence right away, but I thought it would be more efficient to pry my teeth like this.

“ ………. ”

“You've all heard of it somewhere. ”

‘Cause I said so. ’

“Rumor has it that the Yamato Guild in Ito Sauta operates the black market, as well as dealing in slavery, long-term trafficking, and illegal drugs. ”

“Objection, Supreme Court! That rumor is unfounded, and the content of the evidence to be presented is also very poor. ”

“The biggest evidence will come to your attention in a moment. Here's how it begins: Supreme Court, Casgano Yuno of the Yojora Guild came to see me, and that's how the story begins. It was about drugs that had been being distributed illegally in Japan for a very long time. Yeah, not hallucinogens, but real drugs. I heard directly from Cilia that she was already exposed to illegal drugs, and that a lot of people were suffering from them. ”

“ ………. ”

“What she entrusted me with was the cure. ”

“Ah…. ”

“Yes. As you might think, hallucinogens are now illegal drugs that are hard to find in Celia. Not only did we cure drug addicts named Blue and Yojo, but we also wanted to know where this illegal drug was being distributed from. Maybe that's when it started. ”

“What do you mean, plaintiff? ”

“I was constantly threatened with assassination. They didn't seem to want me to get to the truth. In addition to the Lindell attacks, there were more threats that kept coming after me. In fact, we didn't have a clue about the group that was running the Japanese drug market, but we learned a lot because of the ongoing assassination attempts. As I said at the beginning of the trial, it was the Yamato Guild that tried to assassinate me. Oh, maybe it was a Kake Guild. A guild member of the Kake Guild, commanded by the Yamato Guild. ”

“Everything is false and perverse, Supreme Court. It's not fair to say that hallucinogens are the cure for existing drugs. I wonder how hallucinogens that are addictive can cure drugs in the first place. ”

“Why do you say it can't be a cure? Ito Souta. The hallucinogenic potion has already been proven effective by the Cursed Shrine. And addictive. Please be careful what you say. It's true that hallucinogens are a little bit addictive, but what we call drugs is the same thing that symbolic foods like wine also call drugs. ”

“That's …. ”

“This was originally a cure. If someone somewhere had not intentionally stopped distribution, it would have already been distributed. Your Honor, Ito Souta's constant threat to me was to prevent the distribution of a hallucinogenic drug. ”

“That's ridiculous. Your Honor, the alchemists in our guild have discovered a drug called Weed that induces addiction and hallucinations. ”

This is certainly a shocking situation. Of course, I knew I was going to do component detection to capture definitive evidence, but I didn't think I was going to hit one of the catalysts included. It was definitely the nodding part that allowed us to bring in capable alchemists.

But...

There is no better alchemist on the continent than me.

“You've already finished your ingredient detection. That's the part where you have to ask a little more questions. Supreme Court, they call it a hallucinogenic drug even after its substance detection is complete. ”

“If you don't call a potion with Weed, what should you call it, Yi Young? ”

“Ito Souta. Is the ingredient correctly detected? If you know the hallucinogens correctly, you can't say the same thing now. No, don't come out. ”

“What…. ”

“The illusion potion is made of holy water, Ito Souta. ”

“ ……. ”

“ ……. ”

“ ……. ”

He's not the only one. He quiets down like a rat. The situation makes me laugh because it's so fun. because he realized that this trial had gotten a little weird.

Ito Souta's expression is already distorted. I quickly turned my head and saw the faces of Cardinal Basel and the religious people.

‘Phew.'

It didn't seem like a powerful man to rule a city.

“That's what a cure is, Ito Souta. It's not about anything more or less than the purpose of treatment. The Holy Water of Venegor cleanses the body of any harmful ingredient. It was a bit convenient for an alchemist. ”

“ ……. ”

“Actually, I didn't have to make a cure. The holy water of the goddess is the only thing left to purify, but the monster eating the free city of Celia was not only illegal drugs. The hallucinogen is a gift from the goddess for us, Ito Souta. ”

“ …….. ”

“How dare you call the goddess's gift drugs? What is blasphemy if not blasphemy? Isn't that right, folks? ”

Some still keep their mouths closed. However, it did not take long for the quiet field to become engrossed in madness. It was because a big voice came out of Helena, the Inquisitor of Ethics, who had remained very close and intimate with me.

“Blasphemy!”

As she opened her mouth, the other Inquisitors around her were also infected with madness in an instant. Immediately, a loud voice popped out from everywhere.

“Blasphemy! Blasphemy! ”

“heresy! heresy! ”

“Blasphemy!”

Ethan may have been a little out of line, but that's definitely helping me.

‘Phew.'

It makes me laugh because it's so much fun. Ito Souta's face crumpled open in a hurry because he was embarrassed.

“It comes from ignorance that hallucinogens are made of holy water. He would never have said that if he had known. Your Honor, Cardinal Basel, you know how much I believe in Lady Benigore. ”

‘It is better to make excuses this way. ’

“My esteemed priests, please forgive my ignorance. There was absolutely no other intention. ”

Cardinal Basel is the highest religious person here. Considering that only the Cardinal can open a religious trial, it's not hard for him to keep begging Cardinal Basel, but unfortunately, Cardinal Basel has been on his side for a long time.

Well, apart from that, his alibi is actually reasonable.

Saying again that hallucinogens are not drugs is like denying the testimony he's given so far. In other words, it is more likely that he will live to deny his testimony.

‘Possibly. ’

If you say you didn't know, there is definitely an excuse.

‘Problem is.'

I didn't prepare for the end. Reversal is that Cardinal Basel has already finished taking it.

What do you mean?

My precious wine.

‘That's also a special offer. Phuh-huh-huh-huh.’

Hallucinogens essentially make you see what you want to see.

Of course, I can show you what I want with the pharmacist's privilege, just like when I was cursed. Perhaps some religions think that what they saw after drinking the holy water of the goddess came down from heaven is a sign from God. The same goes for Cardinal Basel, who is very religious.

"What do you think Cardinal Basel saw after drinking the wine I gave him? Idiot. '

He probably can't even imagine.

What do you think I did to Cardinal Basel? Huh? You devil worshiper. ’

“As of this moment, I am formally requesting that, by the authority of Cardinal Cardinal Pope II of the Holy Empire, the Supreme Court of James hold a religious trial here at this time. ”

“Well…. ”

Only me and Cardinal Basel know the little secret.

"Ito Souta, Devil Worshiper! ’

It was a genuine gift I threw at him.
