"Mr. Cohle, the attorney general, told you, didn't he? Are you sure?
Shester pressed Lukak again as he looked down at Kokhol, who was struck over Lukak.
Then Lukak said in a clear tone, albeit mostly.
"Yes. I was clearly told by Mr. Cohle. He said I would never be found guilty..."
"Okay. But then there is one slightly strange thing... Mr. Kokhol is the attorney general of the Republic of Valentin and not the attorney general of the Papal State of Roenglin. If we were to talk about making you guilty or not guilty, it would be a low-english person...... Mr. Lukak, isn't it just Mr. Kohol who doesn't make you guilty?
"... yes... you did ask mr. kohl to check again... he was asking someone else at low englin like you said before..."
"To whom? Who the hell told you you weren't guilty in Lowenglin?
"... I'm Bishop Lennon..."
Shester gained even more momentum when his name jumped out of Lukak's mouth as expected.
"You're Bishop Lennon!? One of the plaintiffs in this one, Bishop Lennon, gave you a pardon!?"
"Why did Bishop Lennon say you weren't guilty? Getting out of the army without permission is inherently a felony. Why did he give you a pardon even though he was a bishop? Answer me clearly, Mr. Lukak!
"... Bishop Lennon said... that if you testify in this trial, you will not be guilty of me..."
"As long as you testify! Why are you no longer guilty of just testifying!?"
"... come on, it's... I just came here because I was told so..."
"Fine. For now, fine."
Shester, once he had finished questioning Lukak, courageously turned to the presiding judge.
"Your Honor! As you can see right now, there is apparently a great deal of suspicion between the plaintiff and the prosecutor and this witness. If you are not guilty of desertion as long as you testify, then naturally the witness will appear before this trial to testify. If you testify at all, you'll offset your sins. But then serious suspicions arise. In other words, it is a suspicion that we will also testify as if it were convenient for the plaintiff! If so! ……
Shester looked all the way around to every human being in the courthouse to squirm with a sharp gaze.
And he cried out loudly to chase him even further.
