Sent To Isekai As Demon King's
Eps 16: Conferences, Parting and Beginning

The meeting ended with satisfaction on both sides. On that very day, the Count summoned the person who spread the rumor by dispatching several Elite Knights who were under his control. Acting through legal means, Ulbert, a C-class Assassin-ranked Adventurer, is taken to the courtroom as a Defendant.

The announcement of the results of this trial will be disseminated and read out by the Knights to some point in the city where the citizens often gather. In addition, Count Sergio also had to complete the reports of the various hearings he conducted and send them to the Capital.

Now, in the courtroom, Count Sergio sits in the centre front as Judge. To his right and left are Viscount Fareza de Hanzarim, who helps Count Sergio in taking care of his territory, besides Dave, and also the Nobles who will help him in the affairs of the trial, and there's also Baron Diezel Ylzarzan. Baron Diezel was one of the Nobles who came under the rule of Count Sergio.

In addition, to the right of the courtroom, sat Laciel, Hana, Nadja and Isabella. They are in the position of the Prosecutor. The problem they bring is defamation.

In the middle of the room was Ulbert. Since Count Sergio had found some evidence, he was brought in as the Accused.

And some of the rest of the citizens who are on the left side, they will watch the trial. Among them were some servants of the Adventurers Guild Building and his own Guild Master. He came because of this matter with regards to the two Adventurers registered within his Guild.

[Guild Master was a head of a Guild in a certain area, in this case the Adventurers Union.]

In addition, there are some spectators who are not involved, but come here as spectators.

Everyone has been present. Trial begins. The defendant's fault is mentioned. And of course, Ulbert was in the fog. He admitted to spreading the news. And he was also convinced of the truth.

“Dia! He said that person was a demon! I heard it myself with my own ears!” he told Count Sergio, who was the judge.

Hana raised her hand and was allowed by Sergio to speak.

“It was just a swearing. Have you never cursed others with the words of demons, demons, etc?” abugn.

“Yes, he's right. I also do it often.”

“I too.”

“Anyone should have done it at least once in his lifetime.”

Comments from the audience.

Tok tok!

Count Sergio knocked out his hammer. Ask the audience to calm down. Then, when the atmosphere was back conducive, Count Sergio decided the result.

“Then Ulbert was found guilty of defaming and exaggerating incorrect information. His sentence is 5 years imprisonment.” Her speech.

But, before the hammer was knocked down, Laciel raised a hand.

“Please.” Sergio allowed it.

“In my opinion, prison sentences are less effective. What about the punishment for a year of social work? I heard, only a few Adventurers are willing to do that. Thus, it struck two birds with one stone. No?”

[Social work, tuh, means like cleaning filial work, etc.]

Hearing this, the audience was shocked.

“It was indeed a punishment that seemed to be better. But, is it okay for just one year?” ask Count Sergio.

“It's okay. We must have made mistakes too. And with my generosity, I want Ulbert-san to rethink her mistake so as not to repeat it later on.”

The people whispered to each other. Its content was mostly praise of Laciel's day policies and favors. And some others whispered, “It is impossible for the Devil to have this kind of kindness.”

After that, the trial was closed. Ulbert finally admitted his mistake and accepted the punishment. The trial ended with satisfaction on each side. Soon after, the Count spread the announcement of the results of the trial, and was read out by the Elite Knights at some point of the city.

However, even though it has been resolved through legal channels, the news is still hotly discussed. There are still some people who haven't gotten the right news. However, everything will pass by time.

The next day, at the Blackwood County Mansion park. There were two people sitting on a park bench. They are Laciel and Isabella.

“It looks like I still have to straighten this issue.” Said Isabella who was sitting in front of Laciel.

They were sitting while drinking warm sweet tea. There's only the two of them. Hana and Nadja were waiting at the Union Building, while Zirka was getting ready as they were about to leave that afternoon as well.

“No need. Anyway, this problem has been cleared up. And gradually, either time will make them know the truth first, or make them forget the emergence of other problems.” Laciel. “Taking care of such trivial problems need not be too intense. They will pass by themselves.” Added.

“You sound very wise at your current age. Your words at the trial were so too.” Said Isabella staring at the end of the sacrawal which began to turn yellowish, then reddish.

The sky is late afternoon. Its red glow made the garden flowers around them look like a blooming red rose.

“Yeah, maybe it's because I've been forged with the rigors of life.” Laciel looks down. “I was an orphan since childhood. But, lucky I met a lot of kind-hearted people, like you.”

Isabella's cheeks look red. But, since the sky was now emitting a red color, he did not look like that much.

“Ya– Well, I'll help people who are in trouble if I can. Moreover, if that person I owe him.” He said take a look.

“Isabella-san, you are a good person, yes?”

“Ti– No, kok.”

Just then, a scraping metallic sound rang out. It was Deputy Commander Zirka who came. His silver-colored iron armor made a sound as he dashed slightly closer towards the two of them.

“Isabella-sama, the horse carriage is ready.” Report to Isabella.

“Alright,” replied Isabella. “It seems like it's time we parted ways. Nice to meet you, Laciel-san. Hopefully we can meet again later.”

“It's nice to meet you too.” Timpal Laciel's.

Then, Laciel looked at the group of two horse carriages that passed, and he returned to the Union of the Refineers Building. There, Hana and Nadja have been waiting until bored.

“Muu, Laciel-chan, you were a long time ago, huh, chat with her? Do you like him?” nadja asked with a bored expression. And to dispel his boredom, he teased Laciel.

But, being teased is not bullying at all.

“I'm a little tired of being in this city. How about we move?” laciel asked for advice.

“I, anyway, am fine.” Answer Hana.

“I'll follow you anywhere.” Answer Nadja.

“Then, our adventure will restart soon!” Laciel.
