Good day. This is Miles Edgeworth.

I cannot accommodate you at the moment, but please leave a message and I will respond as soon as possible.

Urk...!

[He did not need to be reminded of that.]

That...was the book I read in that library. [Edgeworth clears his throat to regain his composure.] I normally don't jump out of windows.

Voice

[cresthopes]

Yeah but it still sounds like you must have drank a lot of milk or ate some stuff that made you really strong!

You still jumped out of that window and didn't get hurt! [Just saying!]

Unless you must have been that strong already!

Voice

[prosecutory]

It was a low window. And I was lucky that I still had enough sense to choose it rather than the higher ones.

Voice

[cresthopes]

Still! Low or not, it's still pretty cool! I'm probably going to write a story about that because it looked like you were a secret agent or a spy!

Would you like to be in a story, Edgeworth-san?

Voice

[prosecutory]

Er...I'd prefer to be in my own story, thank you.

[The story of my life, that is.]

Voice

[cresthopes]

But wouldn't you be interested? I'll make sure you end up being really cool! Don't you want to be like that?

Voice

[prosecutory]

No. As far as I know, I'm already who I want to be.

[He sounds serious about that.]

Voice

[cresthopes]

[Pause]

...Then what are you already? If I'm allowed to ask?

Voice

[prosecutory]

I'm a prosecutor. [And because he's aware that he's speaking to a child:] Do you know what a prosecutor is, Takeru?

Voice

[cresthopes]

Uh....kind of? I remember Phoenix-san saying something about that when I went to his law class! It was kind of interesting...but kind of boring too!

[/blunt]

Voice

[prosecutory]

[Perhaps Wright needs to further hone his teaching skills, if Takeru finds his lessons boring.]

I see. What did you learn from his class? [He's curious as to how Phoenix fared as a teacher.]

Voice

[cresthopes]

[Notice that long pause?]

Uh...something about how the person in trial has a right to a lawyer and they need to be proven guilty? And that they need to be careful on what they say because they can use it against them?

I don't know, I kind of fell asleep halfway through. [Which was kind of mean of him wasn't it?]

Voice

[prosecutory]

[That talk with Wright is sorely needed.]

The prosecutor is the one whose job it is to prove the guilt of the one accused of a crime. And the defense attorney is the lawyer who must fight for his or her client's innocence.

Voice

[cresthopes]

So the prosecutor and the defense attorney need to prove if the person is guilty or not right?

I think I remember him saying that too! And that the jury needs to make the final decision from what they hear too I think!

Voice

[prosecutory]

That's right. Some countries do not make use of a jury, and in those cases, it is the judge who renders the final decision.

Voice

[cresthopes]

Well I guess that seems fair.

But it sounds like the judge has a lot of pressure on him! And to make the final decision! I don't think I can handle a job like that! Or being a lawyer too!

Voice

[prosecutory]

You learn through studying and experience. It is a difficult job, but not impossible.

As is, of course, being a lawyer.
