'After Mystic Elise died... I called out to Mystic Maya, I thought it was my duty to protect the future Master of the Kurain Tradition, So I removed the body from the Inner Temple by myself..., I dragged it behind me all the way across Dusky Bridge, Then I used the snowmobile to carry it back to Hazakura Temple and..., ...I used the Shichishito to alter the way the wound looked'

the judge thought to himself for a moment before he asked 

'..So you moved the body'

"iris" nodded as she faked her eyes to water up

'Yes... I was raised at Hazakura Temple... I owe a great deal of thanks to the Fey clan. But even so... I never imagined... ...that Elise Deauxnim was actually Misty Fey! I've... I've committed a terrible sin!'

she grieved out, phoenix glared darker at her, he wasn't falling for it, not for one bit, but at the same time

' intended to return to the Inner Temple after taking care of the body... But...'

'You were spotted by the head nun, correct?'

godot chimed in, she nodded

'Yes... And that's why I couldn't go back'

the judge then closed his eyes, deep in thought

'...Your story makes sense, I suppose. Mr. Wright, go ahead with your cross-examination'

phoenix nodded at him as he underlined her statements in his notebook, ..he narrowed his eyes at the fifth statement

'The snowmobile?'

he asked, she nodded as she responded with a little more thought

'...Yes, I had the key. I used the snowmobile to travel from Hazakura Temple to Dusky Bridge'

he pressed her on that

'If you really did move her body by snowmobile, then there should be tracks left in the snow, but I can only see one set of tracks here'

he pointed out, iris went a little quite as she thought on her words

'...I don't see what's so strange about that. Snow was still falling when I left Hazakura Temple, And then when the murder took place, it had already stopped. That's why there are such fresh-looking tracks'

she simply explained, the judge however, asked phoenix on his thoughts

'How about it, Mr. Wright? What do you think about this testimony...?

phoenix held back a grin as he stated 

'your honer, i demand the statement Iris just made added to the testimony!'

'B-But... Does it have something to do with the case?'

he nodded once, godot smirked, taking a sip of his coffee

'Ha...! This should be fun! You. Let's get this snow business cleared up, shall we?'

'Y-Yes, sir..., "By the time the murder took place, the snow had already stopped."-'

'yeah no!'

phoenix said, now grinning smugly at her

'That just isn't possible'

'What...!?'

she asked, he then showed the weather report to the court

'This is the weather data from the night of the murder, it says the snow didn't stop until 10:50 PM, you couldn't have crossed Dusky Bridge at that time'
