What doesn't match?

[Present]

[Defence Badge] [Glass Shards] [Box] [Secret Passage]

[Autopsy Report] [Knife] [Founder's Orb] [Luminol Results]

[Passport] [Bottle of Perfumes][Hammer]<--

Take that!

"If we continue to believe that the thief of this crime is, indeed, Fast Shade, we won't finish this case anytime soon." I commented." And this hammer proves that!"

"I fail to see your point, Putrid Blueberry." Sir Nahyuta commented, with a sceptical look.

"I also fail to see it." The judge agreed with him as he shot a deadly glare at me.

"See? Be not led astray by this lawyer's pathetic theories!" Rayfa called out, striking a pose with a proud smile.

"C-Can I explain what I mean firstly before you judge me?" I sweatdropped but the regained my composure."If you look at the crime scene, you can see a hammer, carelessly left behind, and that's my evidence that our thief ISN'T Fast Shade!"

"And what does this hammer show?" Prosecution teased me.

"Because your 'Fast Shade' is just a mere copy of famous in the West thief, Quick Shadow!" S'hak'hura yelled out, smashing her pale fist on the bench out of fury.

'What got into her?'

"POHLKUNKA?!" Everyone in the courtroom called out, a mix of surprise, anger and uncertainty in their voices.

"Whatever do you mean, Defence?!" The judge yelled out.

"I mean what I said." She replied." Your thief should be on trial for thievery AND copyrights!"

"Do you have any proof for you claim, Putrid Worm?"Prosecution grinned as I saw S'hak'hura lose her temper got the first time since I met her.

"Call me that again and you will end up in hell!" She hissed out but then looked around and embarrassed, coughed." Accept my apologies for my outburst, Your Magistry."

'Mental note to pass to everyone I meet, do NOT piss off Sakura.'

"Anyway..." She turned to the prosecutor." I, indeed have a proof of my claim." She then smiled, still a bit red from the incident before, as she looked through her sleeve. After a moment, she took out a small, cut out from an old newspaper article." I present the proof that your Fast Shade is a copy of Quick Shadow!"

"Is that... A cut out from a newspaper?" Judge asked as he looked closely at it.

"B-But it doesn't look like our newspaper!" Rayfa exclaimed, making both of us sweatdrop.

"This is a cut out from Wester newspaper. I got my hands on it while studying there for past few years." S'hak'hura explained." Let me read it out to you."

Los Tokyo Angeles News!

2012.5.18

Quick Shadow strikes again!

A thief that appeared a few days ago, already adapted to the new environment quickly strikes fear in everyone! Nothing is safe from him and his companion!

"As you can see, this clip is from 2012, so it's around 11 years old. Any other proof you need to prove Fast Shade is a mere copy?" She grinned, playing with the cutout.

'11 years?! How on hell did it survive that long?!'
