'Actually, there is one way'

he stated in a matter of fact tone, daryan was slightly taken aback as he stared at him

'Whaa--!?'

'One way to get something out of the country, no checks'

the judge raised a brow

'What is it!?'

'...You become a prosecutor'

the judge's eyes widen

'A prosecutor!'

Klavier stared at him, then it hit him like a truck

'ah-i-I don't believe it...'

he stuttered out, a little breathlessly, apollo nodded 

'Believe it, Prosecutor Gavin. What was it that you told me yesterday at your office?, you used special shipping service available to you for transporting evidence. They brought it right up to my office for you ...Pristine and untouched, Did I get that right, Prosecutor Gavin? "Untouched"?'

klavier nodded his head as he regained his composure

'...Quite. The guitar was wrapped in several sheets and vacuum packed in Borginia. The pack was untouched until the day of the concert. Are you saying that guitar was...'

'With cocoons this small, it would've been very easy... ...to use your guitar as a mule to smuggle a cocoon out of Borginia!'

'Wh-What!?'

'Which reminds me, Prosecutor Gavin. That guitar had some "work" done on it recently, right?'

'Work...?'

Klavier nodded his head at him

'Good memory, Herr Forehead'

apollo did his best to hold back his glee expression

'Well, you know how guitars have a round hole in the front? It is called the "sound hole". Well, they found something attached to the wood just inside the hole. ...A broken device of some sort'

'A broken... device?'

trucy said, klavier took out the igniter from his briefcase

'Yes. This, in fact'

the judge jumped in his seat

'An igniter...!'

'Exactly. Consider this, if you will. What if that igniter wasn't the only thing that was attached inside your guitar?'

her eyes widen as she stared up at apollo

'You... You mean...'

'He means this, of course'

he said as he started up the flames, the jduge ducked and hide behind his gavel, apollo pretended to not see that as he carried on with the case

'There was a way to get a cocoon out of the country! They could use picky Prosecutor Gavin's privileged guitar as a mule!'

Daryan eyes lit up in surprise

'And who better to do that than someone with access... ...like a member of the band!'

he motioned at daryan, who was clenching his teeth, the court started to go crazy as the judge slammed down his gavel

'Order! Order! Order!!! So the igniter...'

'...Was placed in there for a clear reason, it seems'

klavier finished off

'It was a safety precaution!'
