Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 1)

Chapter 133: Witch hunt (3)

Ito Souta's trial date was fast approaching.

The sentence was simple, but it meant a lot. The citizens of Lindel, who were in a raging situation, clinked their drink glasses, saying that this was a way of dealing justice, and the personnel in Celia were agitated by the sudden news.

Of course, Ito Souta was the one who had asked for a trial, but it was impossible for people from Lindel and Celia to know about that. We wouldn't let the people know he was the requester, and likewise, Souta never delivered this piece of news to Celia, either.

Last time, I became the victim, so it seemed that he wanted to be the victim this time.

However, the only thing that mattered to us was the fact that he was being tried, because Yuno Kasugano was already blocking his attempts at manipulating the masses in Celia.

In fact, most of the people didn't have to know about the real situation. They only needed to know that he was standing in court as the perpetrator, and that the good-hearted Lee Kiyoung was being taken in for attempted murder.

For now, this was enough. Anyway, the trial might not proceed normally.

What they knew about the trial was that the punishment level depended on how much the offender Ito Souta harmed the victim Lee Kiyoung, but those in an important position in this trial were aware that that place would also be a battlefield of politics between us.

That was why Lee Jihye felt uneasy.

"It's a little too sudden, so I don't know if you're ready, oppa."

"Enough, Jihye. We had a nice talk with the judges and those under the Pope."

"That's because I'm nervous. I think I know what you're hiding, but I have something that bothers me too. Even if you say that you have the insurance prepared, I'm not sure if it will work... Perhaps the trial is just nominal. The trial here is a little different from the modern trial. Thinking about what he will say while defending himself... Isn't it natural for me to worry?"

"You don't have to worry. Our Ito Souta-sama can be just as smart as us."

At this, Lee Jihye looked at me quietly. It was the first time I had ever seen her so worried. It looked like she knew something, but it didn't seem to be too

bad.

"I will trust you."

"Yes. You can trust me, Jihye."

Although she felt uneasy, it seemed that she had decided to get rid of the rising anxiety.

Good. The fact that Lee Jihye didn't care as much as she should, meant that things were going the way I wanted them to.

I was curious about how Ito Souta would try to attack me, but everything had been calculated anyway. However, I still had to speak upon seeing Jihye's incessantly curious expression. I felt like it wouldn't be bad for her to know beforehand."

"So, you're curious, huh?"

"If I say I'm not curious, I would be lying. I'm only not bothered because you told me not to care. Didn't you say that I was getting in your way running around? You said it would be more noticeable if many people move at once."

"It's not like that, exactly. In a normal situation, it would've been better to get your help. That way, I could have made a more perfect trap. I kept it a secret from you because I wanted to show Ito Souta that I was being careful. That's insurance. What do you think? How do you think things will go? Fine, I'll ask this first. How far have you reached with a simple mind? What do you think was my original plan?"
