"... so you were planted with false memories by someone?
The judge questioned Ars on the witness stand with a look that was hard to believe.
Ars then replied, evoking himself to explore his own memories.
"... Yes. Perhaps with someone who attacked me from behind and stunned me in that forest..."
"From behind... So you don't know who that is?
"Yes. Not at all..."
"... okay... no, but this is a hard story to believe. Is that a memory tampering..."
"I'm sure it's hard to believe if it's still what really happened to me myself. But in fact, I still have two memories in my head. True memories and false memories that would have been planted..."
Then, full, Shester in the defendant's seat raised his voice in high spirits.
"Your Honor! Are you sure you want to do a Q&A!
Then the judge nodded heavily.
"I admit it. I would now like to move on to a question-and-answer session for witnesses by the defence. Prosecutors, you have no objection, do you?
Kokhol nodded silently at the judge's inquiry.
"Then the defense...... no, defendant, go ahead"
Shortly afterwards, Chester cut the tantrum.
"Mr. Ars, he says you were once the SS captain of General Gorkos, who was the Commander of the Seventh Legion, but are you sure?
"Yeah, no doubt about it. But you know that very well, don't you?
"As with the earlier witness, Mr. Lukak, you speak as if you know me well, but I do not remember you well. I'm sorry, but I only knew a lot of other people around General Gorkos."
"... I see. Sounds like you're going to cut the shira completely, just like you did earlier, right?
"We don't remember anything about cutting Shira."
"Really...... okay. More than that, why have you confirmed once again that I am the SS captain?
"It's because... if my memory is certain, I didn't think you could be here."
"... I mean?
"It means that you must still be chained to the Roenglin prison building!
Then suddenly, the judge broke into the exchange between the two with a rugged face.
"Defendant, what the hell does that mean?
Then Shester turned to the judge and said:
"Your Honor, I don't know him very well. But I've seen General Gorkos twice, so I know some of it. So after the Battle of Esta, we heard that General Gorkos' SS was responsible for General Gorkos' death in Lowenglin and connected to prison."
"... well. Such a thing... This material doesn't say anything like that..."
"But I think all SS members were sentenced to five years in prison."
"Really?... No, but wouldn't that be a problem? Esta was supposed to be six years ago."
"Yeah, right. The SS..."
"What do you mean? Isn't he a SS, too?
"No, you're not, Your Honor. He's a SS captain! If my memory is certain, only the SS captain should have borne the heaviest responsibility and been sentenced to 10 years in prison! The Esta battle happened six years ago, as the judge said. And you should be sentenced to ten years in prison. Yet why! Are you here Captain Ars!!"
Shester pointed his finger from the side at Ars, who continued to face him directly without being slightly moving on the witness stand, scrambling his tongue sharply.
