I love Transmigration the most.

Summary

The chapter begins with Kobayashi leading a trial against Aqua, who is accused of stealing a noble's high-end bubble wine, which has resulted in Sato being thrown into the dungeon. Despite Aqua's protests of innocence, Kobayashi recalls her previous antics involving bubble wine and remains skeptical. Da Ke Ni Si urges Kobayashi to focus on rescuing Sato instead of interrogating Aqua. Aqua reveals that she had been tasked to cast flame magic to create tension among the guards, which inadvertently caused chaos and led to Sato's arrest. As the conversation unfolds, Kobayashi realizes Aqua’s flame magic inadvertently provoked Hui Hui, leading to the current mess. Aqua, feeling wronged, begins to cry, prompting Kobayashi to consider how to resolve the situation. They conclude that returning the bubble wine is the solution, but discover that it has already been partially consumed. Kobayashi learns from Da Ke Ni Si that the wine is extremely rare and valuable, prompting him to devise a plan to replace it with water to avoid blame. Kobayashi instructs Aqua to reseal the bottle, which she does successfully. They plan to quickly acquire a replacement wine to swap before anyone notices the difference. Just as they prepare, the nobleman and the captain of guards arrive, unexpectedly apologizing for the incident and expressing their desire to let the matter go. The nobleman cancels the wanted notice and dismisses the wine's importance, leaving Kobayashi relieved. The chapter concludes with Kobayashi questioning Sato Kazuma about his attire, which raises suspicions, but he quickly dismisses the thought, seeking comfort from Aqua.
