It was quite quick for the end of Dark Age of Law, and then I had new tasks immediately and also new prosecutor.
Though I did everything not so different from past, that armband made it quite special.
Fingerprint, footstep, luminol, X-ray, indefinite fun for single and repetitive work.
Compared with those, the new prosecutor made me intolerable.
An international prosecutor from a small country called Khura'in Kingdom.
He liked to say "hell", "putrid" and "let it go", and I didn't like that much.
Thinking back, someone's music was in normal scope.

"Detective Skye, I think you did a great job. How about coming to Khura'in for some scientific investigation?"
Because of that, I went to somewhere not related to science at all.
They used spirit channeling and insight as evidence without defense attorneys.
By the way, I didn't know whether it was the same as what Maya mentioned.
I felt doubtful for insight, and I thought it could be explained by science.
Looking at that smug priestess, she showed up even more than me, scientific investigator.
Her attitude showed that she didn't experience much setback.
If that prosecutor showed a better attitude for defense attorneys, I might have a good impression for him.
The only result was that I believed in the existence of spirit channeling.

However, several cases were not quite good for Mr. Wright.
First Trucy got accused of murder and nearly had to compensate a large amount of money.
Mr. Wright was still abroad at that time, but his subordinates did grow so much.
Also, Athena's Mood Matrix seemed much more scientific than Apollo's bracelet.
If the true culprit didn't make one mistake, he nearly walked free.
So-called perfect crime was always to horrible.

Then after I got deceived and went to Khura'in, Maya also got suspected.
She made great changes after so many years.
She wore a hood, with a magatama in darker color and more reserved outfits.
"It's fine. Each time I meet Nick, I always get suspected, and then he proves my innocence. Thinking back, it's three times."
I felt worried about Maya's casual attitude.
"Do you really think it's all right?"
"Nick also got accused three times, the same as me."
"I remembered his suspect two years ago, but how about other two times?"
"Well, he got trapped in love during college years, and Sis defended him. He also got framed for Sis's case, but luckily nothing bad happened."
"So Mr. Wright used to be young and arrogant..."

"Yeah. By the way, Nick became a defense attorney because of Mr. Edgeworth."
"Chief Prosecutor...Edgeworth?"
"Nick and Mr. Edgeworth were classmates in grade school. Mr. Edgeworth wanted to be a defensed attorney, but later he became a prosecutor, and Nick didn't get any response, so he changed his major from art to law, and Sis also helped him. But Sis...I'm now even older than Sis when she passed away, so how time flies!"
"I also cannot believe that the first time I met Mr. Wright was 11 years ago. So it was why he played the piano for seven years?"
"I don't know, but I don't want to hear his piano music."
"Well, Maya, sorry for this time, but we need to go to the detention center."
"I'm quite used to the detention center in California, and that's even cleaner and fresher than Nick's office, and I don't need to pay for my meals. That's so nice, but I don't know about Khura'in."
"Are you going to a trial or vacation...?"

"Maya, this is..."
I saw something similar to Steel Samurai, but I felt quite off.
"This is the merchandise for Plumed Punisher. I used Steel Samurai merchandise to exchange it. How's that?"
"Such phony thing. Mr. Edgeworth must feel angry about it."
"At first I also thought like that, but it's so good that I cannot stop myself."
"Is it? Maybe I'll try later about how unscientific things have something good."
Our talk was quite relaxed, but the case was not so simple.
The first trial day nearly handed down guilty verdict.
If the new case didn't happen, it was so bad for Mr. Wright.
However, the next day, he managed to clear any doubts, but the case happened because of unreasonable DC Act.
This country did need to change, but I couldn't do anything as a foreigner.

The most ridiculous thing was that lawyers from the same office defended both plaintiff and defendant.
"Ema, can you be the witness tomorrow? However, as for Apollo..."
Mr. Wright was quite awkward, and I could see his worry and pain.
"Apollo even doesn't care about it at all? That's quite out of line."
"But the defendant is his adopted father. And don't forget his first case, Ema."
He was right. He even sent his mentor to prison, so no doubt he was against his current supervisor.
"What happened, Mr. Wright?"
"Maya got kidnapped, and the kidnapper wants to win the trial."
"Why are you here, Mr. Edgeworth?"
It was quite unusual that such thing even needed chief prosecutor to show up.
"Ema, Wright asked me to help find Maya. Just prepare your testimony."
Mr. Edgeworth didn't show any emotion and said in a plain tone.
It was just a beginning, and then we went to Khura'in, where lots of things happened.
Family, truth, spirit channeling, and the royal.
I didn't want to explain everything. Anyway, it was a long trial, which made quite an uproar for the country.

"Then, Herr Forehead won't come back soon, ja?"
Klavier's voice was quite cheerful from the other side of the phone.
"And you thought of Apollo first instead of me. I really hate you more."
"But even Chief Prosecutor Edgeworth got involved so much, so a lot did happen."
"Just wait for me to come back and tell you in detail. Now Prosecutor Sahdmadhi gave me too many investigation tasks to come back soon. That's quite annoying."
"Even worse than me? I really thing the worst person for you is me, Ema."
"Compared with that prosecutor, you are much better, Gavin."
"After you get back, how about our engagement?"
"I need to tell Lana about it."
"How's she doing now?"
"She's now working in a field not related to law, but I sometimes ask her about some questions, because she used to be a detective."

The next case was my first official case to assist Mr. Edgeworth, and it was a dream for ten years.
The case showed a surreal feeling: wedding, butler, car accident, picture book author, time travel.
Talking about picture book author Laurice Deauxnim, I used to read "Franzy's Whippity-Whip Trip".
It was the image of Ms. von Karma holding a whip. The drawing was good, but I didn't know how she thought about it after reading.
And the first person who didn't like that was Chief Prosecutor Edgeworth.

Thinking back, everyone didn't change much, but they did change so much.
Mr. Wright had a daughter, and he lost and reclaimed his badge.
Mr. Edgeworth was promoted to chief prosecutor and ended the Dark Age of Law.
Klavier didn't show arrogance as a rookie, and he also disbanded Gavinners.
I also came back from Europe and became scientific investigator.
So the court was not serious at all, just like a reunion.
The only conclusion related to case was that time travel was not real.

"I hope you can repair this evidence."
Since it was from Mr. Edgeworth, I must do my best.
But I just saw Klavier when I walked out of the door.
"You are back, Ema. Why not telling me about this?"
"I'm busy with Mr. Edgeworth's task, so don't disturb me."
I turned my head, took out snackoos and left quickly.
The crime scene repair was not so difficult as I expected.
I did my best to repair the lantern, but I still felt something was off.
But I just came back soon to report my duty.

I saw Klavier again when I entered Chief Prosecutor Office.
Did he come here for Mr. Edgeworth? It was so rare of him.
I just felt Mr. Edgeworth wanted to distract me.
So I eavesdropped quietly around the door.
Just some strange misunderstanding, but also about Mr. Wright.
"Maybe I cared for truth too much."
I heard this and thought about Klavier's helpless face at that time.
It was the same for him now.
Then I shouldn't stay here long to avoid being discovered.

The next day's court perfectly solved all questions.
And it was so nice that the couple would live a happy life.
And I was invited to the wedding as someone related to the case.
Finally, the bride threw her bouquet, and then she looked at her husband and smiled.
Would it be the same for me and Klavier? I got in a trance and looked at my rarely worn navy gown.
It was so nice, so maybe I should try on other clothes than my lab coat.
As for the bouquet, someone would get it, but not Mr. Butz.
Mr. Wright and Mr. Edgeworth stood on the other side and saw us chasing him.

Note: Just SOJ plot. I don't quite like Nahyuta, so I didn't write much about him.

I just use Maya to tell Ema something she doesn't know, and we must talk about Plumed Punisher.
Headcanon: Ema ships Edgeworth and Franziska.
