I, Yorii Tsugikuni, Must Do Something Chapter 50

Noon.

Within the Security Force, only Ieyasu was absent from the trial because he had to familiarize the new recruit, Ran, with the Security Force.

Seryu and Sayo followed Yorii Tsugikuni into the Hall of Judgment located in the eastern district.

"Does the defendant, Shira, admit to attacking Security Force member Seryu Ubiquitous one day ago, and simultaneously kidnapping the orphans from the Tass Orphanage?"

In the grand hall of judgment, the chief judge stood on the platform and looked at Shira, whose hands were cuffed.

At the same time, hundreds of people participating in the trial all turned their gazes towards Shira's position.

"This is a false accusation."

Faced with so many watchful eyes, Shira, who had been trembling after being defeated by Yorii Tsugikuni, now had a confident expression on his face once more.

With a smile, he turned to Seryu, who stood up with her fists clenched tightly upon hearing his words: "I never did those things. They attacked me and stole my Imperial Arms."

Whoosh!

Upon hearing Shira's words, the hundreds of people who had been listening quietly to the trial immediately became rowdy.

"Bastard, you're lying!"

Seryu hadn't expected Shira to be so shameless, turning the tables on them.

If Sayo hadn't held her back tightly, she would have really wanted to beat Shira up right then and there.

"Silence!"

Seeing the hall of judgment descend into chaos, the official presiding over the trial loudly ordered everyone in the hall to quiet down.

He then began to lead the officials who were serving as co-jurors in discussing the final verdict.

An hour later.

"Alright."

"The prosecution's evidence in this trial lacks persuasiveness. Shira will be tried again later."

After a lengthy discussion, the officials of the jury delivered their verdict for Shira.

Outside the Hall of Judgment.

"You can't kill me."

"As long as I'm in the Imperial Capital, no one can kill me."

Shira looked at the silent Yorii Tsugikuni, Seryu, and the civilians who were glaring at him with great anger.

His face was filled with smugness.

Yorii Tsugikuni said nothing.

He took Seryu and the others and left directly.

"Damn it!"

As everyone reached a street corner, Seryu turned around and looked at Shira and his group, who had already become tiny dots.

She slammed her fist heavily against the wall, and a small pit filled with cracks immediately appeared on the wall.

That chief judge clearly didn't act justly.

Regarding Shira's verdict, Yorii Tsugikuni was not surprised.

He had long anticipated this outcome, and he had even considered the possibility that Shira might be released on the spot.

"Boom!"

A massive explosion suddenly erupted from the direction Shira had left.

Chapter Seventy-Two: Shira's Demise, A Slightly Different Night Raid

The sudden explosion caused Yorii Tsugikuni and the others, who were preparing to leave, to stop in their tracks.

Without much thought, Yorii Tsugikuni turned and ran towards the direction of the explosion.

On the street.

Shira's head had been blown to smithereens, like a watermelon.

"It's someone from Night Raid."

"Let's pursue them."

Because Shira had been walking at the front of the group, as he turned the corner, the setting western sun shone directly into his face. Under the cover of the sunlight, a beam of golden light instantly struck his head.

Without the Imperial Arm Shangri-La, even though Shira had reacted, the projectile was too fast, making it impossible for him to dodge.

The Four Rakshasa, who were following behind Shira, looked at the faint pink figure disappearing in the distance.

They ignored Shira's corpse and gave chase.

The pink figure was instantly recognizable to everyone: it was Mine from Night Raid.

Only her Imperial Arms, the Romantic Cannon, could fire from such a distance to hit this location.

At that moment, they all had only one thought: they absolutely had to catch Mine.

They couldn't imagine how they would face Honest's wrath.

'Is he already dead?'

Just as the Four Rakshasa were leaving, Yorii Tsugikuni arrived at the scene with Seryu and the others.

Yorii Tsugikuni showed no expression as he looked at Shira, whose body was half-blown away.

He slightly raised his head, looking at the four figures of the Four Rakshasa who had already disappeared into the distance.

He probably knew what had happened.

"Secure the scene."

"Report this to the Ministry of Justice for them to handle."

Yorii Tsugikuni did not join the pursuit. Just before the explosion, he had heard another sound.

It was a sound he had heard before during his battles with Night Raid.

It was the energy beam fired by Mine from Night Raid.

After today's trial, Yorii Tsugikuni was disappointed with the Empire's judicial officials.

The Empire was far more corrupt than he had imagined.

Although he was an enforcer of the law, he was not a rigid one.

"Understood."

Seryu nodded and left with Kobi.

Shira's death had completely dispelled her earlier gloom.

Based on what they had investigated, even if Shira died ten more times, it probably wouldn't be enough to atone for the crimes he had committed.

After handling everything.

After dinner.

Yorii Tsugikuni, along with Adai and Seryu, began patrolling the streets.

Because several main roads in the Imperial Capital had been damaged and were still under repair.

With a lack of food supply, the Imperial Capital had descended into chaos.

By nightfall, the number of criminals had increased significantly.

The Security Force's patrol duties had naturally increased as well.

Jingle jingle!

A carriage sped down the street.

It quickly disappeared before Yorii Tsugikuni and Seryu.

With just a glance, Yorii Tsugikuni recognized the carriage as belonging to Honest's mansion.

Near the Imperial Palace.

The carriage Yorii Tsugikuni and Seryu had seen stopped in front of Honest's mansion.

Several figures quickly entered the mansion.

"So... this has nothing to do with Yorii Tsugikuni?"

"It was just a unilateral action by Night Raid?"

Honest swallowed a piece of raw meat, his face completely calm.

There was no difference from his usual demeanor.

It seemed that Shira's death had not caused him any sorrow at all.

He asked about Shira's death as if he were asking about a stranger.

"That is indeed the case."

"Yorii Tsugikuni and the others were merely attending the trial today."

Hearing Honest's extremely calm inquiry, Suzuka, who stood before him, trembled slightly.

Although Honest showed no anger or sadness, he exuded an immense psychological pressure.

"If the Imperial Arms were still functional..."

"Shira... he wouldn't have died, would he?"

With a tearing sound, Honest ripped a piece of raw meat in half.

His voice was not loud, but it carried a chilling, sinister tone, like a demon's whisper.

"Go down."

"Find a nice urn for my pathetic, foolish son."

Honest closed his eyes.

Soon, at his command, everyone in the hall left.

Only he remained.

"Hehehe... Hahaha... It doesn't hurt too much."

"But he was my son, after all."

A tear fell from Honest's eye.

He then narrowed his eyes, as if forgetting his sorrow, and a sinister smile appeared on his lips.

"Well done!"

"That guy was almost released."

In a dim underground room.

All members of Night Raid, except for Chelsea, were gathered here.

Leone looked at Mine and Brood, who had just returned, and clenched her fists excitedly.

Night Raid naturally knew that Shira had been captured by Yorii Tsugikuni.

Therefore, upon learning of this, Nadjeshda immediately decided to assassinate Shira.

"Speaking of which, if that guy had an Imperial Arms."

"I might not have succeeded this time."
