Chereads / Controlium [P1] / Chapter 11 - Judgement

Chapter 11 - Judgement

Yuzuki entered the cave and, after venturing deep inside, she found Mars. He looked at her with a serious gaze, his face showing no emotion.

Mars - Congratulations! You're dead. Welcome to Controlium, the lower class of spirits!

Yuzuki - Uh! Ac—

Mike - Did you write that line yourself? Every time someone dies, you say the same thing.

Mars's serious expression turned somewhat tired.

Mike - Mrs. Shiratori, come with me. You'll have to pass through judgme—

Mars - Who told you she's capable enough to go through judgment?

Mike turned toward Mars with a creepy look on his face; his eyes glowed red. Mars, unnerved, quickly backed down.

Mars - Uh, okay, okay, she can go through judgment.

They arrived at the Judgment Palace, where Misa and Mr. Popo were already waiting.

Mars - Huh? Mike already prepared for judgment.

Mr. Popo - What's wrong with Mars and Mike?

Misa sighed.

Misa - They had a fight over who makes better pancakes.

Mike - What kind of judgment will you choose?

Yuzuki's face turned angry as she stomped her foot.

Yuzuki - From the moment I arrived here, I wanted to say—I NEED TO PEE!

Mike and Mars both flinched at her outburst.

After a few minutes, Yuzuki returned, her shy demeanor restored.

Mike - Ah, she's back to her old self. So, what kind of judgment will you choose?

Yuzuki - Fight.

Mike - WHAAAAAT? Uh, okay, that was totally unexpected from her.

Mars picked up his scythe, dropped it to the ground, and a dark aura emerged, transforming the entire palace into a fighting arena. Yuzuki stepped into the ring. Misa was about to join her, but Mike pulled her back and stepped in himself.

Mike - Get lost, Misa.

Misa - Damn it!

Yuzuki - Uh, please be gentle with me; I am really weak.

Mike - (Smiling) Of course. (His smile shifted to something more serious.) Suit yourself.

Mike rushed toward her with a punch, but Yuzuki, reacting out of fear, instinctively kicked him. The impact sent Mike flying out of the ring.

Mr. Popo - Yuzuki wins, so I will allow her to enter Controlium!

Mike slowly got up, clearly injured from just one kick.

Mike - Did she really need my help back then?

Yuzuki - Mike-kun, are you injured? I'm really sorry; I had no intention of hurting you.

Mike - No, it's okay.
