The case proceeds!
Kangaroo court chaos, part 2.
"Will the prosecutor present the charges brought against the accused?" the judge asked.
"Yes sir," Sena replied, rather reluctant, but holding up the list to her face. "On the occasion of the battle with the Destroyer, the Coronanite that was powering it was transported on orders of the accused, immediately before it exploded, completely leveling the entire building. Due to good fortune, Lord Alderp was not home at the time, thus meaning no one was injured or killed, but Lord Alderp has been reduced to renting a room in an inn." Alderp was noticably embarrassed at that, something Kazuma took notice of. Anything he could use to humiliate this guy, he would gladly take advantage of. "The use of Random Teleportation on such a dangerous item is outlawed. In violating this law, he endangered the life of a lord thus endangering the stability of our government."
'She's still doing her job... But she doesn't think I'm guilty, so she's basically doing it like she's just reading from a script,' Kazuma thought with some satisfaction. 'Which makes it far more obvious how much of a sham this all is... You can rig this court against me Lord Derp, but I have the court of public opinion rigged against you... hopefully...'
"Thus the prosecution seeks a judgement of sediti-"
Objection!" Aqua shouted, raising an arm.
"... the defendant's council may make their case later. Please ask for permission before speaking out of order," the judge ordered.
"Oh no, I've just always wanted to say that, I'm all set!" Aqua replied. Thwack! Kazuma promptly dope smacked Aqua upside the head. "Ouch! Jeez, it was a joke!" she whined.
Ria sniggered at this from where she was floating. "The prosecutor may continue," the judge continued with a sweat drop.
"Thank you, but that's all from me," Sena replied.
"Very well, the defendant may now speak!"
