You finally show yourself, you psycho bastard!
Shoot him! Shoot him!
Today is supposed to be a day of good fortune,
but for you...
Your luck couldn't get any worse!
As of 5:27 AM, Shimizu Tsukuji has been arrested,
in the act of murder which is a violation of Article 1 of the Magical Prohibition Law.
Why?
Why was there a sudden...
...gust of wind?

I'm sorry, Kamakiri-san.
I came in early to get some work done,
so if you wouldn't mind turning that music off...
No idols?
No.
I see...
But I really like them.
Kamakiri-san, you really like coming in early.
I guess they do say the early bird...
Maybe it was so I could get some time alone with you, Hotaru-kun.
Is that so...
And now for our next story.
The suspect behind the murder of 15 wizards,
Shimizu Tsukuji was just apprehended.
Shimizu is suspected to have been behind the...
They got him!
...wizard murders which started three months ago.
Now, I'm free to hit on as many guys as I want.
For the last month, I was worried that he might come after my sexy body.
I was so scared, I couldn't go outside at night.
But I wonder why he specifically targeted wizards.
He's a wizard just like us.
Sometimes, it's precisely because we are the same kind that leads to animosity.
Huh?
It's just a rumour that I've heard about.
But I've heard that there was a time when wizards fought each other,
over a grimoire called Grimoire 365.
Reading it will teach you about the entire history of wizards up until now.
Grimoire 365...
How is that related to this case?
No clue!
I don't have a clue!
It's not even entirely clear whether such a grimoire actually exists.
What?
Hotarin looks really enthusiastic.
She came in at nine this morning!
I heard she'll be in charge of a criminal case for the first time.
She's going all out.
And apparently, Hachi Mitsu is going to be her mentor.
No way!
The two of them have that kind of relationship?
Sasorin, you fantasize far too much.
She does respect him for his work.
See what I mean?
A gorgeous client!
Please come with me to the reception room.
Thank you.
Is there something on my face?
Not at all, sorry...
I resemble him, don't I?
What?
I am actually here for the defence of my twin brother, Tsukuji.
Oh!
I've seen him on TV, no wonder...
But...
Mounting a defence for my brother would be difficult, I guess?
I'm fully aware of that.
But Tsukuji is...
I never thought the defence of that ruthless criminal who killed 15 people would fall on us.
Oh really?
We take on any case.
But we do value whether or not we have a chance of winning the case.
Oh?
Are you nervous?
Cecilcchi.
Rather than nervous,
the suspect is a ruthless and inhumane killer.
So, it's just...
Magic Prohibition Law, Article 3!
Have you forgotten?
Protecting the human rights of wizards is our job.
Then, could you please tell us about what happened in detail.
The first one was a woman.
She was thin.
She had a nice manicure,
so I pulled her nails out.
But I didn't like her eyelashes.
I thought she'd be better with natural eyes,
so I gouged her eyeballs out.
I even gave her a bath.
But when I cut her stomach open,
she got covered with blood, and her organs came spilling out!
Those ribbons.
What?
Were those a present from someone?
My dad gave them to me.
Do they have some sort of meaning?
They are supposed to be protection stones for my patron saint.
Oh?
They are pretty.
Could you let me see up close?
What the heck!?
You got me all excited, miss!
There's no way I could defend someone like that!
Like that?
He doesn't have a shred of regret or the smallest bit of remorse towards his victims.
And then he went and did that just now!
I don't even want to see his face again!
Please remove me from the case.
Cecilcchi.
I understand how you feel.
However, our job is to defend those who are accused, Cecil-chan.
But... But someone like that!
Doing your job means that sometimes you may have to face these things head on.
If you can't agree with that,
then turn in you barrister badge and quit.
Ageha-san!
That was so mean... so mean!
I might have been a little emotional, but...
Why would Ageha-san accept the responsibility of defending someone like that?
I don't want to protect someone who killed 15 people!
Hey, are you listening at all?
I'm listening.
Then answer me!
I don't answer to whining.
I'm not whining!
No matter who you ask, Ageha is in the right.
That might be true, but I'm not wrong either.
If you keep whining, I'm taking the curry away.
What!?
I'm ticked off!
Would you like some coffee?
Sure thing.
Thanks.
Are you organising material for the trial?
I'm putting in a petition to the Magic Court.
A petition?
A petition for a psychiatric examination.
The wizard serial killer, Shimizu Tsukuji,
has dissociative identity disorder.
His brother mentioned it in his deposition.
Does that mean he has multiple personalities?
Right.
So that's why you accepted this case.
My personal policy is to not take on cases that can't be won.
And they've given me all kinds of work!
My associates rely on me too!
I see.
I'll learn my job as fast as I can,
and I'll definitely get you out of here before they carry out your sentence.
There's no precedent for a retrial in the Magic Court, Cecil.
I-I know it won't be easy.
But if I give up, I can't save you!
I will never give up!
Did something bad happen at work?
Huh?
Why?
I can at least tell you are acting a little different than usual.
Mum is going through a whole lot more.
You're pathetic, Cecil.
The court has approved our petition for a psychiatric examination.
Really?
Thank you so much.
I know this is a difficult case for all of you,
but I'm counting on you to help my brother.
Oh... um... never mind.
If possible,
we'd like to know more details about your brother's symptoms.
Originally, he was a very kind brother.
We were the victims of neglect by our parents.
My brother always did his best to protect me.
When we entered middle school,
social services placed us in an orphanage.
However, around that time, my brother started showing signs of multiple personalities,
and the terrible, violent brother came into existence.
As time passed, the periods of time where the violent personality was in control would grow longer.
And that violent personality, doesn't even remember me.
Dissociative identity disorder.
DID involves the separation of memories for each of the different personalities.
In other words, the violent personality doesn't have any of the memories the other personality has, right?
Yes, that's exactly the state my brother is in.
I've heard it's a very misunderstood disorder.
Even if the psychiatric exam yields the results we are looking for,
proving it to the court may be difficult.
No, I believe it's possible.
Well then, if you'll excuse me.
Are you looking for someone?
The girl with black hair and a short cut,
is she not in today?
You mean Moyoyon?
Come on, he wouldn't know who Moyoyon is.
That would be Tentou Moyo.
She's my paralegal assistant.
Tento Moyo-san, was it?
Girl with black hair and a short cut, he said?
Does he want to get it on with her?
How rude!
Come on!
I think you need to go get some spiritual enlightenment at some mountain temple and cleanse yourself of your perverse thoughts.
Hey now!
Watch what you say or else I'm fondling those breasts!
Come here!
Let me out of here, or else this girl is going to bite the bullet.
Ageha-san!
When my brother and I still lived with our parents,
our parents were kind to us from time to time.
There was a memorable phrase from one of the verses in a lullaby they used to sing us.
Luca Mahamuzushi.
How do you feel, Tsukuji-san.
I...
Where am I?
What is this?
Who are you all?
Really?
Are you serious?
After all that, there's no way the prosecution or the judge will claim Tsukuji was responsible for his actions.
I guess, they would give him life?
If they agree with his medical history,
he would be given medical treatment, right?
He would be let off easy in terms of sentencing right?
Cecilcchi, no appetite?
I'm unsure of myself now.
Why is that?
I understand that Tsukuji-san might have originally been a kind person,
but it doesn't change the fact that he killed 15 people for his own entertainment.
They may share the same body, but they are two separate personalities.
So you are having doubts about someone who has no recollection of the crimes being given the death penalty?
B-But!
I was wondering, maybe Tsukuji-san himself was a victim.
And as a wizard barristers, what is the right thing for me to do.
That's obvious.
A wizard barrister should put the interests of the accused first and foremost.
Put your own personal sense of justice aside.
I can't do that as easily as you can, Natcchi.
Then why are you a wizard barrister?
You knew from the start, that wizard barristers are seen by society as villains.
Now now, let's just leave it at that.
This isn't something that will resolve itself immediately.
Spend some time thinking about it.
Okay?
Yeah...
That's naive.
From the psychiatric examination, it is clear that the defendant suffers from dissociative identity disorder.
Therefore.
Therefore, the defence asserts that on the days when the crimes occurred,
the defendant did not have the capability to take responsibility for his actions.
My verdict.
The defendant is sentenced to life in prison.
Given the defendant's psychiatric exam and the abuse he suffered from his parents,
I will take into account extenuating circumstances.
But it does not change the fact that he murdered 15 wizards.
Therefore, when considering the impact on society, life in prison is unavoidable.
However, the defendant will be permitted to stay at a dedicated facility for treatment of his dissociative identity disorder.
All right!
That's ridiculous!
Is this really okay?
Thank you very much.
This is all thanks to your efforts.
Not at all.
I hope Tsukuji-san gets well soon.
Let's go.
Looks like those charms paid off.
What did you just say?
They didn't only protect you, they also protected me.
DID involves the separation of memories for each of the different personalities.
In other words, the violent personality doesn't have any of the memories of the other personality, right?
And yet,
he knew about my hair clips.
Why are you here so late?
About your brother suffering from dissociative identity disorder.
Southeast...
Two sides.
A box.
Fresh blood of a maiden.
What did I just say?
Fresh blood?
Southeast...
Two sides.
A box.
Fresh blood of a maiden.
No way.
Cecilcchi!
The number you have dialled is currently...
Am I going to make it in time?
What?
It came up in my divination.
At this rate, Cecilcchi is going to be in danger!
Is that true?
Hachi Mitsu, you know my divinations have never been wrong.
Ageha-san, head to the site.
I'll call Inspector Quinn.
And?
What are you calling a lie?
Was your claim that your brother was suffering from dissociative identity...
...disorder nothing more than a falsehood to lighten his sentence?
And if it were true, what will you do?
But the goal wasn't to lighten Tsukuji's sentence.
What?
Our objective was you, Sudo Cecil-san.
When is your mother's execution?
Isn't the Minister of Justice going to sign those papers any day now?
How do you know about that?
Didn't she kill someone while trying to protect you?
It could have been interpreted as self defence,
but maybe she originally had an intent to kill.
What are you saying?
That's obviously not true.
Give up on a retrial, that's stupid!
Cecil Diaboloid go!
You can't form your diaboloid here.
My powers won't stabilise.
I guess it really is true that you have more powers than just your diaboloid.
It's just as Tsukuji said.
If you weren't a target, we'd have loved to add you to our collection.
Target?
Hachi Mitsu-san?
Ageha-san!
Cecil-chan!
Stay back!
Otherwise, I can't guarantee her...
Sa...
Who are you!?
Cecil-chan!
Sudo!
Cecilun!
Cecilun, are you okay?
S-Somehow...
A metamoloid?
Sasori-chan!
Quinn-san!
It's pointless.
C-Cecil-chan!?
This is dust magic?
She awakened another power?
Woohoo!
Go Cecilun!
Take this!
Wow.
Hello, barristers from Butterfly Legal Office.
Ah!
Right!
I think Article 10 applies here!
And we helped you arrest him!
Gosh.
Butterfly Legal Office
In the end...
...Tsukuji and Rei were accomplices.
It was all an act to let him off the hook.
Those criminals are rotten to the core.
Thank you!
How about you?
Your case with Hachi Mitsu was a drug related case right?
Did it go well?
Thanks to your help, the defendant reflected on his mistakes.
Reflection, huh?
If only those two had a sense of remorse.
Well, in this field, there are all kinds of cases.
As long as there are those who are truly evil,
there are those who turn to crime because they have no other choice.
Ageha-san.
If those two were to come to you now to ask you to defend them, what would you do?
Of course, I'd take them on.
However, that's only if I have a chance of winning.
I think, I might have reservations about doing that again.
Hey, Moyoyon.
I didn't even contact you, how did you know where we were going?
Eh?
Just a gut feeling.
I can sense when Cecilun is in a pinch!
Right, Cecilun?
Huh?
What?
Our objective was you, Sudo Cecil-san.
I was their target?
Was that good enough for you?
That was perfect.
Sudo Cecil managed to awaken yet another power.
