[He Xi] Clears His Name

[Blurb]

An investigation found that during the Battle of the Big Dipper, Yamato Hotsuin refused to distribute food and medical supplies to the disaster victims, and refused to protect or rescue injured civilians, causing the deaths of many innocent citizens. Is this true?

As for the Nagoya rebels who emerged during the Battle of the Big Dipper, Yamato Hotsuin deployed JP's summoner squad to violently suppress the uprising without authorization from the Self-Defense Forces. Is this true?

One final question. During the battle against the stars Lianzhen and Wuqv, Yamato Hotsuin avoided a better solution in order to end the fight quickly, resulting in the destruction of cities across Japan, including Sapporo. Is this true?

"This court finds the defendant, Yamato Hotsuin, guilty of insurrection. In accordance with the relevant provisions of the Criminal Code, he is hereby sentenced to death."

[Notes]

A short story based on the original work. It contains major spoilers for the game sequel, Record Breaker, so players who have not finished the game should read with caution.

The setting combines elements from both the anime and the game, with some original additions. Some of the background details are inspired by the Ace Attorney games, but familiarity with that series is not necessary to enjoy this story.

A belated double birthday celebration for Hibiki and Yamato. Wishing everyone the best of luck on their college entrance exams!
