Comprehensive Comics: Fun Moon

At this moment, there was II chaos in the auditorium.

"Go and see."

Seeing that Fujimaru Tachibana's eyes were firm, Xia Heng nodded.

"—Mr. Carter, someone in the village is looking for you. It feels like the fire is full of fire now, and people are gathering." In the auditorium, the villagers who came in from outside found Carter who was sitting in the auditorium.There was a faint noise outside the door.

"—Oh. Got it. I'll go right now. Ms. Fujimaru Tachibana, I'm sorry, please allow me to say goodbye first." Seeing everyone coming from behind the scenes, Carter turned to nod.

"Mr. Judge, come with you too."

The villagers on one side whispered a few words in the ear of the judge.

"...What's going on here?"

Carter stepped out of the auditorium first, looked at the scene outside, and asked with a frown.

"Mr. Carter, you really did an amazing job."

In the crowd, a villager shouted.

"Uncle... Tituba she..."

"Abigail. Is Tituba there?"

"Old... lord..."

"You brought them? For what reason?"

Carter looked at the man who had just shouted, and asked in a flat voice.

"She is my servant, and you will cause me trouble if you act so recklessly.

"...Ugh, then, listen carefully to me!"

Seeing that Carter was so calm, the man made a dissatisfied voice and shouted loudly.

"My daughter has been feeling unwell since this morning and has been lying in bed. When Mr. Carter came to visit this morning, he also replied that he was tired from last night's nightmare, and was a little tired, um. I also feel that I can sleep well. Okay, but I'm so naive!"

"My daughter was dreaming and eating for a while and felt depressed, as if she had a fever. I wanted to calm her down, but she didn't touch the bread or water. She couldn't do anything, so she had to invite the pastor to the house. In the end, my daughter was even more It's painful and looks weird."

"Um...what kind of weird method?"

"This...this...that is...the priest..."

"Well, that, that's right...it's like...like being possessed by a demon...!"

The words that the man did not dare to say out of taboo were uttered by the priest tremblingly.

"It makes a strange noise and wants to grab my neck. It's hard to imagine the strength of a child!"

"We had to hold her down as hard as we could, and then she passed out and collapsed."

While wiping the sweat from his forehead, the man said while suppressing his anger, and took out a strangely-shaped doll from his clothes.

"I asked my wife to change the soiled sheets, and I found this out of the straw on the bed! This is a magic tool of unknown origin! I heard from my neighbor's daughter that it was Titu. Made by Ba!"

"Oooh-"

The surrounding villagers exclaimed in amazement, and turned their fearful eyes to Tituba, who was squeezed in front of him.

Chapter [*]: Abigail's Witch Trial

"What a horrible wooden doll..."

Watching the man take out the tribal-style wooden doll, the judge frowned.

"I want to seize it as evidence."

Seeing this, Carter was silent for a while, then looked at Tituba, whose head was bowed.

"...Tituba, is he right? Did you make this thing?"

"...old...master...this is...that..."

"No, no! It's not Tituba's fault!"

Abigail retorted loudly upon seeing this.

"It's obviously the kid who took it away without authorization!"

"It's not good...what are you going to do?"

Looking at Tituba who was being questioned, Xia Heng raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to ask Fujimaru Tachibana.

"I used to think she was a weird guy!"

Before she could answer, the roar that erupted from the crowd took everyone's attention.

"How terrible... ah, could it be... that Williams was killed by the Aboriginal people, is it also your good deeds?"

"Shut up, don't say such things in front of the child."

Seeing someone mention Abigail's parents, an old man interrupted with a loud voice.

"You hateful witch!"

"This is a prop used by pagan spells, and this person is suspected of heresy."

Before the public anger broke out again, a voice that had never appeared in this small town burst into it.

"You... who are you?!"

"My name is Matthew Hopkins. Just arrived by boat from Boston. Beginning tonight in Salem Village. I have been appointed by the Governor of Massachusetts to be the village's presiding judge. "

The middle-aged man with a top hat glanced around, finally set his eyes on the judge, and said calmly.

"How can it be so abrupt...!"

Seeing that the judge was not convinced, the man named Matthew Hopkins took out the paper from his arms again.

"This is... oh... It's indeed an official appointment letter! And it's still a superior judge... Yes, it's my subordinate's rudeness 々"

Looking at the official document above, the judge could not help shrinking back and bowing his head.

"It doesn't matter. It's an unusual situation after all."

Hopkins put away the appointment letter and turned to look at the surrounding villagers.

"Residents of Salem, please calm down first. Night is the time when demons are rampant, and panic should not lead to errors in judgment. As a judge, I ordered this Nulu to be detained and interrogated. I will come tomorrow morning to hear the situation. "

"Wait a minute, former... Captain."

Seeing that Fujimaru Tachibana didn't seem to intend to sit back and ignore it, Mash quickly grabbed her.

"Now we can't interfere in this matter. We have just gained the trust of the villagers, and now if it is because of this matter..."

"This is the witch's trial, Tachibana. No matter what you want to do, forcibly intervening here is a game of chess."

Seeing that Fujimaru Tachibana seemed unwilling, Xia Heng also added.

"Ugh..."

"Looks like he's planning to resist. Good."

On the other side, looking at Tituba who had no intention of resisting, Hopkins nodded in satisfaction.

"Mr. Carter, the owner of Nulu, came to the detention center with him."

"...Understood, I'll listen to you."

Seeing this, Carter nodded, then looked at Chaldea and his party.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, but please take my niece home. You are trustworthy, and the drama just now has been enough to prove it." He specially emphasized the last sentence, and Hopkins, who noticed this, couldn't help but He turned his eyes to a few people.

The next day, Carter's house.Everyone gathered around the table, but Fujimaru Tachibana, Robin Hood and Nezha were not seen.

"One-by-one, so that's why the Master accompanied Mr. Carter to the village?"

The witch who understood the situation looked at the people around her with a subtle expression.

"Yes, Mr. Robin is also accompanying as an escort."

Matthew nodded.

"Said that in order to cooperate with our original investigation, we must confirm the authenticity of the magic item. It seems that it can only be handed over to the seniors."

"Indeed... the current situation does not allow us to act rashly."

Mata Hari sighed and looked worriedly at the stairs again.On the second floor, there is Abigail behind closed doors.

"How's Abigail doing, boy?"

"Miss Abbie... has been in the room since yesterday. I wanted her to at least have something to eat, so I brought the food to her room, but she didn't move." Matthew's There was also a worried look on his face, and his slender eyebrows were slightly twisted.

"Just now, Miss Nezha climbed the roof for some reason...I don't know what she wants to do..."

"Although Nezha has been like a tense cat since she came here. But she doesn't like appearances. Maybe she likes children very much, right?"

Taking advantage of her absence, Marta Hari expressed her thoughts buried in her heart, and then looked in the direction of Abigail's room.

"?々 huh... All in all, Abigail is very depressed right now. Even as a servant, for that child, Tituba is still her important friend."

"It must have been a blow because she was put in prison..."

After a moment of silence, Matthew also expressed his backlogged views.

"I think Miss Abby is different from the other children in the village, or, um... very different. It should be said that she has a sensibility that is rare in this era? Especially for servants.... ..To Nulu...to treat relatives like this. I think it's rare in this place."

"...No, maybe not."

Sansong, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up, with a smile on his face that did not match the executioner's.

"This is her innate tenderness, an ordinary heart that anyone can have."

"I agree with Sansong. The sense of difference is caused by (Wang Mo's) environment."

Mata Hari also agreed.

"Abi lived a relatively well-off life in terms of the colony's standard of living. For Mr. Toccata's blessing, she also seems to have received a relatively well-rounded education. On top of that, even after experiencing the loss of both parents Unfortunately, she didn't lose her cheerfulness. That's what makes her strong."

"One-by-one, it's impossible to do it alone. She has Tituba by her side. Because Tituba knows Abi's parents very well. After her parents died, Tituba became a family member and became a chat object. , turned it into an important spiritual support in her heart. It is precisely because of this that she is so depressed. She is afraid and worried that she will lose someone important. "

"About this matter... report"

Matthew thought for a moment and recalled a previous scene.

"When I went out with my seniors to look for Miss Abi before, something like this happened...".
