The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

So the trial began.

... from Lyla's confession at first. So Lyla revealed to the court what the nobles had done. And if it was true, the accusation that might have been rubbed there happened to spread all at once, because the king was doing "in accordance with the intentions of the dragon", so it couldn't be rubbed away...

It seems that all the nobles involved in painting were in a hurry, but because of the dragon's pranks, the idea of "God's use told me not to lie to the author of the painting" was somehow spreading... so it seems that the nobles who came to mind by Lyla's confession could not do much.

"I'm really glad. If it hadn't been for the dragon, the royal family would have turned it upside down and all the nobles would have wiped out Lyla."

That's what Mr Crowe says, a little scary. Yeah, that could have happened...

"It was just right. The royal family won't want to ruin the dragon's mood, so they won't let Lyla get a harsh verdict."

I feel a little cheated, but, well, okay. Yeah. The dragons are really amazing in this country because the dragons are slightly inside the museum...

We decided to take the dragon's roll and the wave of Lyla's accusations and sue Lyla and the Brompa family as well. Originally, this was what Lyla wanted, so she did the right thing.

So, of course, we went to court on the day of the trial.

The courts of this country are on the grounds of the royal castle.... it seems that this country has no separation of powers, either because the King has absolute power. Yeah. It all depends on the King's mining. Wow.

The court was a slightly harsh building made of white and black marble. Features large windows made of transparent glass.

He said, "That window is a window to God's eyes."

Faye gives me a description of the building.

"Keep that window open during the trial. It seems that God will be watching from there."

"Hmm...."

Somehow, it's amazing.... I feel something like a bird's house in Japan.

"Well... I don't think there are any fools in the courtroom who would go crazy. Just be careful. A lot of nobles don't think about us, do they?

And Faye whispered that.

... when I looked around, I saw the nobles staring at us. They're probably the ones Lyla did the ghost lighter for. Maybe that's why they're ordering you to appear in court.

"So, Laocles. Especially the corn."

"I'm fine. When it's time, the tube fox and phoenix will come out. I'll take care of Mr. Crowe."

"Oh, I haven't gone far enough to be worried about a fluffy boy like you.... so Laocles sends his regards to you."

Really? Fluffy boy... Fluffy boy!?

Well, I feel like I've been somehow badmouthed. Fluffy boy... fluffy boy...

... let's hold on a little longer. Mm-hmm.

Because Laocles looked tougher than the court, or because he was beside us, we were never attacked. Some of the aristocrats approached us to say something, but when Laocles glanced at them, they went home wonderfully. Stream stones are our statues!

We safely entered the courtroom and sat there waiting at the designated seat.

A few moments later, the trial of us, Lila and the Brompa finally began.

A trial is very different from the one I know. [M] Somehow, it's rough. Mm-hmm.

The king speaks up, then the judge reads out the charges, and then our side of the story begins.

I had nothing to do. [M] I'm just there as a sample of "Tougo Uesora", and then Fay made a claim, and that claim is just a reading of what Fay's father entrusted me with, and it's kind of formal... well, the important thing is that after that,

The Brompa family denied the charge, but Lyla admitted it. The Brompa family started scrambling... and then a quarrel started between Lyla and Brompa.

"You ungrateful bastard! Wow, I hired you because you said you were Corgo Uesora!? Instead of being a fake, let's put a stigma on us!

"Oh! Tell me, 'Draw a picture by name of Corgo Uesora. Ultimately, I'll tell you that I painted the painting." Afterwards, he said, "Make it all your fault." But you hated him! Where's the idiot who talks like that?

"Yes, that's cod! Oh, my God!

"Do you really think it's cod? The nobles have confessed to their sins.

... I was in a fight like this.

I just don't know... Brompa is worse off. I mean, Lyla, it's strong. Also, I have a complaint from Faye. Besides, as king, it seems to be in line with the "intention of the dragon"...

... while quarrelling, Lyla testified in detail.

How many pictures have you falsely painted, and where have they each gone? Who asked me to draw it? Her painting is signed in a discreet position on the back, so if you remove it from the frame, you'll know exactly which one is fake.

... I think I was really getting ready. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to put a "fake" signature in the "fake" you drew.

And here's the contract.

Lyla has also issued contracts with the Brompa and other houses.

Most of the contract was made so that it would be okay to show it to others, but at least everyone who signed this contract was certain that they had some kind of connection with Lyla. I can't hide from myself... and then I just need to check the signatures Lyla put in her paintings to find out.

Afterwards, I was to prove that I was a "corn weasel."

... it was Argent who came out here.

Yes. It was a big surprise, but it turns out that Argent was here to support us.

Apparently, Faye brought up the spiritual pulse the other day and asked Argent to stand on the stand.... woah, Argent looks incredibly complicated and steep... I'm sorry, I can help you.

I was a little nervous, but while Argent looked complicated, he testified, "This is the Corgo Uesora," and Lyla testified, "I'm not the Corgo Uesora." That's why the Brompers aren't pleading guilty.

... and eventually, thanks to the King's "judgement that the Brompers are lying", we won... Mm-hmm.

Mr. Brompa looked at us with an amazing look and said something to Lyla, but the King said, "You're going against the dragon's will! Mr. Brompa pulled back so much.

Somehow... it looks like a dragon. And, hey, looks like you cheated, awkward.

Afterwards, a hearing was held with the nobles whose names Lyla gave in her testimony. So there were a lot of nobles around the courthouse earlier. Even before the trial, Lyla testified to the court and called the nobles in advance to accommodate her testimony.

... the interview was almost finished unharmed. The point is, you got a testimony that Lyla was a ghost writer and decorated a painting that she didn't paint in her own name in the museum.

Along with that, it seems that the aristocrats will be punished with strict attention. Well... in essence, it's over with anger. This can't be helped. Because it is not a case when someone asks if they have lost or suffered damage.

If Lyla and the nobles were playing Ghost Writer under an agreement, there's nothing to complain about. That's why it ends with extreme caution.

... Still, Lyla had a fairly clear face.

The brightness of what we were doing made Lyla feel lighter. Because of that... maybe Lila will be punished. But she was satisfied, so I can't say anything.

So, once it's settled about this mess, what Lyla has done so far will come to light... and the punishment for Lyla and the Brompa family will be decided.

"For House Brompa, I order House Redgard to pay 2,500 gold coins."

First, the king decided so about the Brompa family.

It seems that my name tricked the painter and caused trouble to me and the Red Gard family, so it's like compensation for the damage.... 2,500 gold coins is amazing. Only 50 pieces of the painting I paint can be sold at a high price...

After seeing Ms. Brompa nodding in disgusting faces, the judge also sentenced Lyla.

"And order Lyla Razwald to pay 1,000 gold coins."

"Ke, the sentence is light! I ordered my family to pay 2,500 sheets, and this little girl who is the culprit, 1,000!?

Mr. Brompa is angry at me for saying that, but both the judge and the king look like, "Even if they say so..."

"... well, that was an agreement between her own ability to pay, her previous interaction with the nobles, and the fact that the Brompa family was trying to steal even more of the reputation of Corgo Uesola that Lyla Razwald had stolen..."

... I think maybe the dragon's melody is also taken into account. But I don't think Brompa is satisfied with it.

"I'm not convinced! Your Majesty, Your Honor! Please think again! Can you pay a thousand gold coins for a little girl like this?

At last, Mr Brompa began to say such a thing.

... Lyla sighs in a little trouble.

"Sure, it's an amount I can't pay. So I'll work and give it back. I can't do a lot of work... but I'll give it back to the Redgards for the rest of my life."

"Is that allowed!? If payment is granted a grace, then so should our family!

But Mr. Brompa's momentum remains the same. This is... uh.

"Um..."

When I raised my hand, somehow everyone looked surprised on the spot. [M] He looked like, "Is this guy talking?"... I talk sometimes, too.

"Regarding Lyla Razwald, can't you come to Red Gard territory and work as a resident?"

When I suggested that, Faye said, "Oops. That's good." Yeah, thanks.

But Lyla was so gloomy... and then Brompa got angry.

"Okay, I got it! It was all your fault!?

No, even if they say so.

"This little girl and you have teamed up and tried to destroy the Brompa family! That must be it!

Even if they say so...

"I thought something was wrong! This little girl suddenly stigmatized us and the other nobles! The Redgards must have bought this little girl and plotted to get us into trouble!

... even if you say so, I'm really in trouble.

But Mr. Brompa has a point. Yeah. That's why I'm in a bit of trouble...

... at that time.

Kyung.

... I thought I heard some kind of familiar voice, so I looked up... a giant bear-thug was peeking at my face through the big window.

What, did this bird come all the way from the woods...?

We were confused, but maybe a few times as much as we were, the others were confused.

"A giant bird through the great window of God...!?

"Hmm, what, is that bird... God's use?

People scream as they say a lot. If you're already talking about Lyla's conviction, the Red Gard plot, that's not what you're talking about.

Looking into the troublesome courtroom, the giant komatsugumi looked down at such people and cried with satisfaction.

The backlit sun shined through the fluffy feathers, and the gummies looked as if they were wrapped in light. What a little hate, it looks a bit divine...

"No way... a god bird!? God borrows the form of a bird...!?

No, it's not God or anything, it's just a big stick. Mm-hmm.

However, because the place is the place and the timing is the timing, I feel that I am mistaken well. I wonder what you're doing here, this guy. I don't suppose it just came out prominently...

We were in trouble, too, and the bird of the example suddenly spread its wings with sardines. The bird that entered through the big window of God's peek came straight into the courthouse... and...

"Yikes!?

Eh?

The gummies squealed with satisfaction, grabbed Lyla and flew away.

I saw off Lyla, who was being taken away by the birds screaming, and I...

... I promised to go to the woods when it was all over, and I got Faye's permission, so I thought, okay.

Now that you've been invited, I'll apologize to Lyla later. Mm-hmm.

... because the bird took Lyla, the judge and the king were all very upset.

Yeah, that's how it feels. But I can't complain because it's what birds do. I hate that little bird.

"Ladies and gentlemen, about Lyla Razwald... I wanted to pay 1,000 gold coins..."

The judge's face looks like, "What should I do?" That's right. I mean, right after the bird grabbed me.

"... Faye Brad Redgard. She disappeared, just like that....."

The judge said so and then sighed deeply.

"... what should we do?

The open windows are still shining with sunlight. I don't know if there's a god in there that's left open, but I'm sure the birds bragged about going in and out.

... after all, I ended up thinking about Lyla like, "If I find her, I can live and work at the Redgard house." Yes. It seems that the bird that appeared through God's peeking window grabbed it, so it can't be helped.

Somehow, this time the King has ruled very reluctant to dragons and birds. Is that okay?

I think Lila's guilt was lightened, probably because of the dragon appearing in the museum. The King didn't say a word about "it's bad for a nobleman to paint a picture and present it as his own," and I don't think he's going to say it in the future... but for the time being, it was that verdict against the dragon. Even more birds have arrived there, so there's no need.

... I still feel like I cheated. Mm-hmm.

Well, but... okay. That bird was very satisfied.

... maybe because the dragon appeared in public and disturbed people, I think I wanted to imitate it. That bird is more ancient than a dragon, so maybe there was something like pride...

... that's why we're going back to the woods after this unstoppable trial.
