Hearing Ms. Navia's words, Mr. Neuvillette was first startled, then gently shook his head and said,
"Ms. Navia, this is the second time. Given that you previously provided a key witness, I leniently accommodated your actions."
"But that was by no means an orderly method, and now I can convict you on the charge of 'contempt of Judgment'."
Mr. Neuvillette said in a deep voice.
Ms. Navia, however, gently shook her head, glanced at Yuto, who was sitting behind Furina, and then focused her gaze on Mr. Neuvillette.
"I don't need to argue with you about the topic of 'order', nor do I want to argue about it; it has no meaning whatsoever for the arrival of 'justice'."
"With the efforts of Spina di Rosula and the assistance of the Golden-haired Traveler, I have found the true culprit of the 'Missing Girl Case'."
"If my accusation can be established, then Mr. Tartaglia will naturally be innocent, won't he?"
Hearing this, Mr. Neuvillette fell silent, seemingly recalling the relevant content in fontaine law.
Tartaglia glanced at Mr. Neuvillette, who was contemplating on the Judgment stand, then at Ms. Navia, and chuckled softly.
"Someone actually broke in to clear my name? How interesting. Anyway, I was already losing interest with all these rules and regulations, so thank you."
With that, he turned to Mr. Neuvillette and said loudly,
"Is it temporarily not my business now, Your Honor the Judge?"
"...Please take a seat in the audience for now, but this does not mean you are no longer a suspect."
Mr. Neuvillette responded in a deep voice.
Looking at the stern Mr. Neuvillette, Tartaglia shrugged noncommittally, then left the accused seat and sat in the audience.
After seeing that battle maniac, whose mind was full of fighting, sit down steadily, Mr. Neuvillette then said to Ms. Navia,
"So, Ms. Navia, who do you wish to accuse?"
"That would be the president of the Kabrie Commercial Guild, Marcel!"
After saying this, Ms. Navia paused slightly, fixed her gaze on Yuto, who was sitting behind Furina, and said loudly,
"Furthermore, I would like to ask the Deputy Administrator of Fontaine, my Father's close friend, Mr. Yuto, to be my Licensed Agent!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the audience once again erupted in various discussions.
"Huh? What kind of Commercial Guild? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"Hey, hey, hey, I know, I know, but isn't that Spina di Rosula's sister organization? How could..."
"Oh! This is great, an exhilarating drama of brothers turning against each other! This Miss always brings exciting dramas! It was absolutely correct for me to come today!"
"Wait... ask Lord Yuto to be his Licensed Agent? Huh?"
"No one has ever dared to make such a request of the Chief Justice in the past five hundred years... Is she going crazy?"
Hearing Ms. Navia's statement, a hint of surprise flashed in Mr. Neuvillette's eyes as he stood on the Judgment stand, but this surprise quickly disappeared.
He looked at Yuto, whose expression was normal, then at Ms. Navia, who was standing below the stage, and said loudly,
"Allow me to reiterate, Ms. Navia, an accusation is a very serious act. It means you need to bear the corresponding responsibility."
"If the accusation ultimately cannot be established, you will also bear the guilt of false accusation depending on the circumstances. Even so, do you still wish to make the accusation?"
Ms. Navia nodded and said firmly,
"Yes, this is... what I, as the current president of Spina di Rosula and the daughter of the former president, Cares, should do. I want to clear my Father's name!"
Looking at her determined expression, Mr. Neuvillette gently nodded, then looked at the still calm Yuto, and continued to ask,
"Then... Mr. Yuto, are you willing to be Ms. Navia's Licensed Agent in this 'Judgment'?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all eyes in the hall focused on Yuto, seemingly anticipating what decision he would make.
Yuto did not answer the question immediately. Instead, he slowly stood up with the silver-white cane in his hand, his sea-blue eyes firmly looking at Mr. Neuvillette, and said softly,
"Of course, Mr. Neuvillette, as Mr. Cares's close friend, I naturally must step forward to help clear his name."
"Moreover... I believe Ms. Navia must have sufficient confidence to say this."
Yuto gently tapped the ground with his cane, smiling as he spoke to Mr. Neuvillette.
Upon receiving Yuto's definite reply, the audience below once again burst into an uproar.
In their view, this was another historic Judgment.
"The Assistant Administrator, who never participates in Judgments, actually took the stage today! And it's to clear a friend's name!"
"Oh my goodness... My ticket price today was worth it! One of the compilers of fontaine law actually participated in the Judgment! This is going to be recorded in textbooks!"
"Where are Steambird Newspaper people? Where did they all go at a time like this? Isn't this absolutely headline news? They should report something nutritious!"
Listening to the discussions below, Furina looked at her Assistant Administrator with some concern and softly called out,
"Yuto..."
As a God, she should not take a stance on this, but rather remain a spectator and continue to watch.
But as Yuto's... friend, she was somewhat worried about him.
After all, those vicious individuals could make a person dissolve on the spot, and Yuto, being from Fontaine, might truly be assassinated by them.
For Furina, this was not good news.
But... she also occasionally saw Yuto on the balcony late at night with a melancholic expression, and she sincerely hoped that all of this could be resolved.
And just as Furina was struggling, Yuto gave the little blue cake a reassuring look, then used elemental power to softly say,
"Don't worry, Furina, just like before, be the God who guides emotions and guides justice."
Hearing this whisper conveyed through elemental power, Furina was first startled, then gently nodded.
She trusted Yuto, just as he had trusted her for over four hundred years.
The girl slowly rose, quickly put on the mask she had briefly removed, and once again stood before the stage.
"Hahahaha, a drama of brothers turning against each other is truly rare, but... the scales of justice will not make a decision at this moment!"
"Whether decades of injustice will be resolved, or if this is all a misunderstanding, everyone, let's look forward to it together, which side the scales of justice will lean towards!"
Clorinde looked at the seemingly exaggerated Furina, gently shook her head, then turned her gaze to Yuto and said softly,
"Good luck."
"I will."
Seemingly finding the audience below too noisy, Mr. Neuvillette frowned and softly rebuked,
"Silence!"
With that, he moved his gaze from the calm-faced Yuto and refocused it on the parties involved.
"Then I announce that Ms. Navia's accusation is established. Now, please, the parties and the Licensed Agent, stand in your designated positions."
"Additionally, please have the security officers promptly notify Mr. Marcel to come and participate in the Judgment."
