'This is going to be a long day...'
That was my single, tired thought.
I could only sigh, just seeing the sheer absurdity laid before me.
Before me, stood Pietro in unnatural formal clothes, acting as the judge. To his right, stood Sakura staring straight into my eyes with a certain curiosity and flare...
At the very beginning this had alarmed me, but after noticing she still had no idea of who I truly was, I became calmer.
Anyways, surrounding us, were, of course, a massive amount of boo-ing adventurers, peasants, merchants... Even the king and queen of the Litherm Kingdom regarding our trial for GOD'S SAKE!!!
"THEY ARE INNOCENT!!!" -Audience Peasant
"NO BEAUTIES LIKE THEM COULD EVER DO SUCH A THING!!!" -Audience Merchant
"YEAH!!! REIKA-CHA〜N IS THE PUREST AND MOST HONEST ADVENTURER IS THIS WORLD!!!" -Audience Adventurer
"THIS IS MADNESS! STOP THIS FALLACY, RIGHT THIS INSTANT!" -King
"Reika〜, Myria〜, Scarlet〜, my dears〜, you're allowed to go berserk on these guys you know〜?" -Queen
Most comments were what was to be expected... but that last comment from the queen... in her easy and caring voice left the entire audience, and even her husband smiling wryly.
However, Scarlet and I both had somewhat of a different reaction... Rather than being shocked or surprised, we may or may not have immediately turned to Myria blushed as she saw us muttering away at her:
""The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, huh...?""
Yep, those dark, sinister and dreadful overtones were surely familiar to Scarlet and I, who dealt with them every other day, when we would mess up.
Anyways, leaving aside those trivialities, and the quirks of my party members, the mob and audience was actually getting quite loud, and the displeasure on Callum's face, who stood alongside a fainted Kira on a podium as an overseer, was too obvious.
In fact, he has not even trying to hide it, the frown on his face as even some minor leaks of killing intent oozed out of his body, they were too small and camouflaged for Pietro to notice though...
And in all honesty, I wasn't much different...
I mean, this is just too stupid to me. We are literally getting a tried for something as meaningless as three worthless girls getting killed and Haruto running away on his own for who knows what? Wasn't he joining up with some of the other heroes anyways?!
AND WHAT IMPORTANCE DOES HARUTO HAVE ANYWAYS?!
Why the heck are we even holding this?!
I mean, we're supposed to be this very strong party who the Everidian Kingdom requested help to, right?!
Shouldn't we get some sort of partial immunity from these things?!
WE EVEN KILLED THE DEMON KING, GODDAMMIT!!!
JUST WHY ARE WE EVEN... holding... this...!?
...
I had been frustrated, as usual, from the strangely coincidental series of events up to now...
But as I had been listing everything out, a single thought remained in my mind...
I had not realized up to now...
But as I did, a wide grin crept into my face...
'These guys should be thanking us! In fact, we left the heroes out of a job now!'
