A New Life In Another World: Volume 2

Chapter 98: Judgement

After Zemmi showed up and Carmilla did a complete one-eighty when she did, we all decided to discuss the vampire's fate at Empress Sayuri's palace.

Though I say we, it was really the twelve heads that decided this, and my family and I were just tagging along. After all, we're merely guests here at Tengoku city.

So, once everything settled down, somewhat, we all relocated to the Emerald Palace. Of course, just as things died down, they only got heated up afterward.

"Well, this turned into a bigger mess than I expected," Sayuri said with a smile.

"My lord," Touma bowed before Sayuri. "I believe it would be wise to lock up the criminal before she causes any more harm."

"Either that or we can just toss her in the ocean and pray she washes up in the mainland shores," Makoto's father, the current Wukong Head, spoke up rather brazenly.

"Don't think I'll just let you bastards try to lock me up!" Carmilla snarled, though she was still clinging on to Zemmi, so her current display was anything but menacing.

"That isn't for you to decided, you old hag," The Kirin Head scowled at the vampire. "You caused a lot of problems in our home. The Kirin clan has an old saying which is 'if you can't do the time, don't do the crime'."

Wait, isn't that a saying from my world? Yeah, I'm pretty sure that it is. I guess one of the Jade Emperors made that the motto for the Kirin Clan, huh?

"I would slaughter the lot of you before I wou-oof!?" Before Carmilla could finish her sentence, a fist came down and smacked her on the head. This fist came from none other than Zemmi.

"Knock it off, Carm. You're already in enough trouble as is, alright?"

"Euuu, I'm sorry..." As Zemmi scolded her, the vampire could only tear up a little.

Wait, she's crying right now? Actually, that might've been from that head smack just now. I know from experience how painful those can be.

Also, what the hell is with that vampire? She's a completely different person now that Zemmi's around. She seems more...submissive with her around. It's really weird when I was used to the haughty and bitchy behavior from before.

"She at least needs to be punished for harming the people of Tengoku. Especially my people," Tora chided, glaring at the vampire all the while.

After the battle was over, Tora managed to calm down and revert back to normal. That meant we didn't have to worry about her rampaging around the city.

"I second that motion," Touma spoke up. "She's caused a lot of problems around our city. Don't you agree, Nobuyo?"

The head of the Tesso Clan turned to a woman standing by Sayuri. She appeared to be in her early thirties and had short goldish yellow hair, sheep horns, and a yellow blindfold with red markings on it. Was she blind?

She was wearing an elegant red and yellow eastern dress, like something out of a tv show or movie.

Nobuyo Kaichi, also known as, the Head of the Kaichi Clan, and the Judge for the Jade Emperor. According to Zemmi, the Kaichi Clan is a group of judges that would decide the fate of the criminals caught by the Kirin Clan.

The severity of their punishment would depend on the severity of their crimes. I don't think Zemmi went into much detail on what kind of punishment the Kaichi clan would impose, but I do seem to remember her mentioning that they have the power to imprison someone in some unbreakable prison barrier.

The bottom line, is you don't want to get on their bad sides. I'll just put their clan on my "people to not piss off" list.

Next to Nobuyo was another girl with a similar blindfold and markings. Not only that, but this girl looked pretty similar to Nobuyo as well, so I assumed that this was the Kaichi Clan Head's daughter.
