- >And deep within the labrynth built by the cowardly king
- >The treasure of courage was hidden
- >Kudou-kun, your stories...
- >Always move me to tears.
- >As expected
- Page 2.
- >As expected of our genius storyteller!
- >Wha-!
- >This is bad!
- >Kudou-kun is being abducted!
- >Stop~!

- >I wonder if he's done something bad
- >Kudou-kun, of all people?
- >For now, let's go after them!
- >And so that's how it is.
- >We beg for your assistance.
- >Ah, I think I've figured it out
- Page 4.
- >The prosecution always starts
- >By giving the case a story
- >Ah.
- >They write a story, like "this and this happened, creating this motive, which led to this crime"
- >And from there they challenge any testimony that doesn't fit the narrative
- background: Caught cheating -> Die! -> You too!
- >Now that you mention it,
- >Forced testimonies and falsified evidence have become a real problem these days.
- >Such things cannot be allowed
- >Huh?
- >A- Are you a prosecutor?
- >Yes. And we have reflected on our past mistakes
- >But don't you think
- >That story was a little weak?
- Page 5.
- >If you give it more of an emotional impact
- >The story will become much more convincing
- >That's not the issue, here!
- >I invited this young man here to help us come up with a more moving story
- >I think we should base the story on actual evidence, though
- >Our goal
- >Is a tear-jerking prosecution!
- >I'm not convinced at all
- >Oh, Sensei
- >What are you doing here?
- >Why was my scenario turned down, exactly!?

- >This was going on the whole time!?
- >Why was my scenario rejected?
- >Because it wasn't moving at all
- >Your story is trite and completely devoid of emotion
- >But it makes me cry every time I reread it
- >You came here just to complain about getting rejected?
- >I thought it was very well written!
- >Oh, please
- >You have no literary talent whatsoever, Sensei
- Page 7.
- >Aah-!
- >Aah-ah!
- >You just said
- >Something you shouldn't have!
- >What are you all doing here, anyway?
- >You only just noticed?
- >He really came here just to complain
- >We're going to hold a conference about the scenario now
- >All of you are quite welcome to participate
- >Now then, I'll explain the case at hand
- >C and B, who were having an affair
- >Decided together to kill B's husband, A
- background:
- between A and B: Married
- B to C: Affair
- Between C and B: Co-conspirators
- C to A: Murder
- >And that's all we have so far
- >I don't see a problem
- >There's even a motive.
- >Boring
- >It's too simple, with no twists
- Page 8.
- >Do you really think you can
- >Draw out an emotional response with a story like that?
- >My point exactly
- >But, that's...
- >Well, they did implement that new lay judge system recently...
- >It might be necessary for the story to be a little engaging
- >You, think of something!
- >Eh!? Me?
- >Um...
- >A is terrorist from a certain country plotting a chemical weapon attack
- >B is an undercover government agent, and C, whose marriage to A is only for appearances, is really B's superior...
- >Too broad, too broad
- >You've completely lost touch with reality
- Page 9.
- >Nami-chan does seem like the type who regularly goes to see movie versions of TV dramas
- >The ones with the overly grand plots.
- >So what if I do!?
- >Plus, all of that happening in Adachi ward?
- >I don't see it
- >What if we made the crime scene a hotspring?
- >I like it!
- >One with a big bridge in the background would really bring the scenery together, I think.
- >A bridge! I like it, I like it!
- >Wait just a minute!
- >You're fabricating the whole story!
- >Ah
- >It's fine
- >So long as it's interesting!
- >Let's make it autumn instead of winter too, so the leaves can be red
- >This is like some kind of editorial committee.
- >With the setting and timeframe settled, the motive should be easy
- >Here's what I suggest
- >Fujiyoshi-san? When did you...?
- Page 10.
- >Rather than an affair between B and C,
- >It turns out that A and C were really in a romantic relationship!
- >Between two men?
- >What year do you think it is?
- >And also...
- >C is the bottom
- >Please stop.
- >This way ensures a certain level of public support!
- >I- Is that so?
- >So, a romantic relationship between A and C...
- >What are you doing!?
- >But if they're both in a relationship
- >Wouldn't it be strange for C to kill A?
- >You're probably right
- Page 11.
- >You shouldn't think of it as C killing A in the first place!
- >He just sent him on a trip to Hocchania!
- >Ho...cchania?
- >It's the paradise awaiting us, where love transcends gender and the eels and mandarin oranges are delicious
- >I see, you're talking about a cult
- >Let's throw a shady religious group into the story, then
- >A brick is too boring of a murder weapon if there's a cult involved
- >There must be something more distinctive we can use...
- >A scrubbing brush!
- >True believers hang them from their necks
- >How would you kill someone with a brush?
- >Slowly, of course.
- >By wearing them down psychologically.

- >We can win with this!
- >We'll wear down the defendant's stonewalling tactics!

- >And that's what really happened!
- sign on building: Tokyo Courthouse
- >So, was the defendant found guilty?
- >Yes
- >He said he'd rather confess to everything than listen to our story
- >Does that really count as a victory?
- >It's winning the battle but losing the war
- >Sob
- >Sob
- >No talent... No talent...
- >Showing up to protest your rejection was your only appearance this time, huh?
- Page 13.
- >What was Sensei's scenario about?
- >Um... A has a fatal illness,
- >C works at a host bar, and B is an escort
- >The three first meet in Shibuya, and then...
- >Ah
- >That's enough
