Chapter 77
"I understand. But don't ever do that again." Night said
"Thanks for understanding. So let's give the final judgement. Since I am the substitute God and have the highest authority and Q'ua among all of us around here, I think I should be the one giving the judgement. Is there anything wrong with what I just said?" Ban asked
"No." Both Harley and Arthur said
"What do you say Natsumi? Do you have a problem with me giving the judgement?" Ban asked
"N-no, I don't have." She said.
She didn't expect him to wait for her answer or opinion.
Ban summons a chair on top of Night's monitor. He sits on it. He sits with one of his legs above the other.
"Then let's continue. Because of Night hundreds of places got destroyed and many trees were burned and smashed into pieces. Although I didn't even knew that he helped with Harley making food and the dark chocolate cake being the main reason of why this all happened. This seems stupid but Light gets drunk if he eat too many dark chocolate cake. I guess all of you know that already. It was all just for him to run away from Heaven and go back to his world. The reason why he did this is because of overwork. He was tired of doing work and work. And some moments ago he disrespected and bad-mouthed Light, the supreme. So what will be the judgement and punishment for this act, you may ask? Is it A. Banishing him from Heaven? B. Throwing him into Hell? C. Giving him even more work? D. Forgiving him. What do you guys want to say about that?" He said
"Of course, it shall be a. Banishing him from Heaven. That's the most appropriate punishment for him." Harley said
"Banishing him?! That isn't enough! He shall be thrown into Hell! That's the one most appropriate for him!" Arthur said angrily.
"Do I have to give my opinion?" She asked
She didn't asked that because she was confused rather it was because she wasn't sure if her opinion did even matter.
"Yes, you can." Ban said
"Forgiving him doesn't seems like a option here." She said
She thought to herself [It would have been the best choice but I don't think Harley or Arthur will ever forgive me if I pick this. I am really sorry, Night.]
"Also banishing him from Heaven is what he wants, so it can't be a punishment-" She was interrupted
"You see, Harley! That's why I said to throw him into Hell. Not to banish him from Heaven." Arthur said proudly
Harley didn't thought it properly. He didn't figure out that it's what Night wanted. He feels embarrassed about that but also proud for his sister.
"I am really stupid. I didn't see that. But I am again amazed by how intelligent Sis really is. Sis must be one of the most intelligent human ever lived! I am sure about that!" He said
"Exactly! She must be!" Arthur said
She wasn't one of the most intelligent human ever. Rather she was just an ordinary student.
She thought to herself [Though I am not.]
"Continue on." Ban said
"Since banishing him from Heaven isn't an option either than we can either throw him into Hell or give him even more work. Throwing him into Hell is a bit too much." She said
"Why?! That's the best punishment for him. For a person who disrespected our great Lord and the supreme being, Lord Light!" Arthur said angrily
He was upset. He wasn't happy at all with what she said. He can't accept her Choice.
"Since nobody died. No living creatures weren't hurt other than plants. There was a huge fight but it didn't harm any of the Angel neither me. Also Ban said that Light would have forgiven him for that act. I am not sure but I think Ban is older than you and know more about Light than you. So I think he should be forgiven for that." She said
"So, I can conclude that you choose c. Giving him even more work?" Ban asked
"Since there isn't any other punishment then it seems so." She said
"I understand." Ban said
He comes down from above Night's monitor. A table came out from a portal. A gavel also fell from that same Portal. A gavel is a wooden mallet that are used in the court.
"By hearing all of the people who are here and saw the destruction and the fight, I pass my final decision and the judgement." Ban said
He struck the gavel on the table. It means that the final decision is being made.
"Night is found guilty and as a punishment, Night shall be given even more work." Ban said
He again struck the gavel. To conclude and finish this matter.
"But Lord Ban!" Arthur said
"I think I asked before I start that if there was a problem for me to become the judge and give the final judgement." Ban said
"Yes, you said." Arthur said
"Then I have nothing to say." Ban said
"Yes. My Lord."
Arthur accepted the judgement. But he wasn't happy with the judgement. He was a big fan and a worshipper of Light. He respect and love Light even more than what Harley does. The only punishment he think that can be given to a person who disrespected Lord Light is throwing that person onto Hell. He was disappointed with the judgement
"Finally I can do what I came here for." Ban said
"You didn't came here to give me the judgement?" Night asked
"Nope. I didn't even know what happened on here until I entered the Heaven and heard that Gabriel and Light fought." Ban said
"Does that mean?" He said
"That mean you wouldn't have to get a punishment if you stayed silent and told that you didn't have a hand in it." Ban said
"I was totally fooled." Night said
He feels upset and less motivated to work from before.
"It's your fault for being fooled. Now go help with the repair of the palace." Ban said
"Yes, My Lord." Night said
His monitor got black. He must have been went to another monitor or a robot to work.
"Natsumi, the time for you to take your lottery has come." Ban said
"Lottery! You must mean the roulette of wheel for the ticket for being safe from Hell for a period of time!" Light said with excitement.
He came out of nowhere and he was floating. Everyone was surprised. Though Ban wasn't surprised. To Ban it must've been a normal thing.
"Welcome to the palace, Lord Light." Both of them said. Both Harley and Arthur
Night didn't say anything.
"Where did you came from?" She asked
"From the sky. More importantly when will the roulette wheel will start. I am to excited. I feel like my heart will pop out and blood will boil from excitement." Light said
"Does God even have blood and heart to begin with?" She asked
