Explosion Trial: Kazuma v. Megumin!

Kazuma

She blew up my house for the seventh time this month!

Megumin

Explosion magic is the ultimate form of art!

Phoenix

Your Honor, my client was clearly practicing cultural traditions! Freedom of religion still counts for something.

Edgeworth

Objection! Since when is property destruction a cultural tradition? We have limits for a reason.

Megumin

(I'll show them the true power of explosion magic...)

Phoenix

MEGUMIN NO! NOT IN THE COURTROOM!

Kazuma

(Not again...)

Phoenix

Your Honor, my client suffers from a rare magical compulsion disorder!

Megumin

(These magic seals itch... and I can't feel my explosion mana...)

Edgeworth

The prosecution calls an expert witness: the defendant's own party member.

Kazuma

She once blew up a cabbage field because she "wanted to see if vegetables could scream!"

Phoenix

(Why did I take this case...)

Edgeworth

Furthermore, the defendant's explosion radius is exactly the same as the plaintiff's missing roof dimensions!

Megumin

Explosion magic isn't a crime! It's a lifestyle!

Phoenix

OBJECTION! My client's "lifestyle" is protected under the Magical Beings Rights Act!

Kazuma

(Finally, justice... and maybe a new roof)

Edgeworth

The prosecution rests. The defendant is clearly guilty of excessive magical property damage!

Phoenix

Your Honor, the plaintiff's character speaks to motive!

Phoenix

Exhibit A: The plaintiff's extensive collection of questionable literature!

Kazuma

(How did he find my secret stash?!)

Edgeworth

(Why didn't I vet my client better...)

Phoenix

This proves the plaintiff deliberately steals underwear from women. Megumin is just reacting to her environment.

Megumin

W-wait, Kazuma steals panties? Did he steal from me....

Kazuma

That's not what this looks like! I swear!

Edgeworth

OBJECTION! This is character assassination, not evidence!

Megumin

(Maybe I'll let him watch one more explosion... up close)

Edgeworth

The court finds in favor of the plaintiff...

Kazuma

(Everyone knows about my collection now... At least they didn't seize my baby oil.)

Megumin

Designated combat fields? This is magical oppression!

Phoenix

At least she won't face jail time. Small victories.

Edgeworth

Barely won, but justice is served. The defendant's explosions are now properly regulated.

Megumin

(These cuffs are weaker than they look... and Kazuma's face is priceless)

Kazuma

Wait, why are her cuffs glowing?! Phoenix, do something!

Megumin

One small explosion... for educational purposes only!
