"Don't you know how terrifying a false accusation can be?"
Kushida Kikyo didn't understand, her heart growing even more flustered.
In Sakurajima, there are countless cases of wrongful convictions caused by a judicial system biased toward women; in this regard, it is far ahead of the Advanced Nurturing.
How else would it be called a pioneer server?
"False accusations are indeed terrifying; they would make me pay a heavy price."
"But is there a possibility that if you intended to falsely accuse me, you wouldn't actually need any evidence?"
Makoto Nishikado spread his hands, finding Kushida Kikyo rather cute.
Those who don't know might not realize that the bias of the Sakurajima judicial system toward women has reached a truly bizarre level.
If a woman comes forward to falsely accuse someone, she doesn't even need concrete evidence; as long as her story is consistent and lacks obvious loopholes, the man can be sentenced.
After all, no girl would use her own purity to frame someone else (sarcasm intended).
It is true that the Advanced Nurturing is equipped with a lethal amount of surveillance cameras, which might be able to prove Makoto Nishikado's innocence.
But taking the Gotemba Case as a prime example, Sakurajima has long seen instances where men had alibis captured on camera, yet were still convicted in the end.
This is not only because the Sakurajima judicial system has been brainwashed by "woke" ideology, but also because the relevant industries need to meet their own KPIs.
A man who has been falsely accused is essentially a performance bonus delivered to their doorstep; killing the innocent to claim credit is no big deal in Sakurajima.
A lawyer like Hiromi Higuruma, who upholds justice, would inevitably feel despair when facing the Sakurajima judicial system.
Therefore, as long as Kushida Kikyo made up her mind to falsely accuse him, she would likely win the case even without evidence.
Do you understand the weight of a 99.99% conviction rate for first-instance cases submitted by Sakurajima prosecutors?
The whole business of pressing fingerprints is completely redundant.
"..."
Kushida Kikyo opened her mouth, her throat feeling as if it were blocked by something, not knowing what to say.
She stood there blankly, her eyes filled with shock and bewilderment.
A girl sheltered by the Sakurajima judicial system perhaps cannot understand the significance of the system acting this way.
Seeing her dazed expression, Makoto Nishikado found it cute and gave a thumbs up.
"Kikyo-chan, you really are a pure-hearted bitch, actually thinking that one should collect evidence before making a false accusation."
"Also, the texture was great; I give it a ten."
"The process doesn't matter! You have a handle on me now, so you can't threaten me anymore!"
"I won't help that bastard Horikita! As long as you make me unhappy in the future, I will definitely expose you!"
Kushida Kikyo's face turned bright red in an instant, like a ripe apple, and her body temperature rose significantly as well.
Gsl looked just as red as her after watching Little Tiger's performance in S9.
Warning! Warning!
"But you still haven't managed to destroy the evidence I have."
"In other words, it has at most shifted from me unilaterally threatening you to us becoming accomplices."
"Aside from our relationship becoming closer, what is the big deal for me?"
Makoto Nishikado didn't care at all, instead raising an eyebrow slightly.
"The price you have to pay is much greater! The cost of a false accusation conviction is far higher than mine!"
Kushida Kikyo was infuriated by his indifferent gaze, wishing she could go up and chop off Makoto Nishikado's hand.
She was supposed to be the one with the upper hand, so why was she the one getting angry?
"You're wrong. The point isn't whether the price is severe, but whether you and I are willing to bear that price."
Makoto Nishikado smiled casually, seemingly not worried about his situation at all.
"Why aren't you afraid at all? Your life will truly be ruined."
Compared to anger and shame, Kushida Kikyo was now filled with more confusion.
Standing from her perspective, she truly couldn't understand Makoto Nishikado's motivation for doing this.
If this matter were to blow up, it would be no small harm to her either.
But at the end of the day, she hadn't even been at the Advanced Nurturing for a month.
Even if she dropped out and started over in a place where no one knew her, she wouldn't have wasted too much effort.
At most, considering she had already failed twice in a row, Kushida Kikyo might lose the confidence to continue.
In her future life, she would never feel joy again.
But the price Makoto Nishikado had to pay was far greater; he was gambling with his entire life.
Even if he claimed he could succeed in a false accusation without needing evidence, she hadn't considered that possibility until Makoto Nishikado pointed it out.
What exactly was Makoto Nishikado trying to achieve by taking such a massive risk?
"Do you really think the risk you're taking is smaller than mine?"
"Let me make this clear: if you want to falsely accuse me, it will go to court, and I have proof that you are not a perfect victim."
"I won't just sit here and wait to be slaughtered; I will contact the media and spread it everywhere. Do you know what will happen then?"
"I might be convicted, but your name and face will be plastered all over the tabloids, remembered by an entire generation."
