47 CHAPTER 47: OUR HEAVENLY JUDGEMEN (2/2)
The tense atmospheric vibes had ceased, since Zeran and Ru were gaining the upperhand, as the dark Goddess judges were turning to their favors. Though, the dark Goddess judge from before asked more nerve cracking questions,
”In your stand hero...”
”Were you judged by the dark Goddess Ruhime during your travels?”.
He responds straight,
”Yes...”.
She wants him to elaborate, as she said,
”Like?”.
Zeran replies,
”When I was given a chance whether to become a hero/savior again or not...”
”To kill or not to kill my former allies...”
”To follow her or not to follow her demands...something like that...”
”To either kill my former goddess wife Mai...”
”To run away or not and many more...”.
The dark Goddess judge smiled with a satisfied look, as she heard his fully detailed explanation somehow. There after, she praises him with all her deep contempt,
”I see...thank you for that elaborate explanation...hero Zeran...”
”Or should I say...DARK hero Zeran Noah Aether...”.
Ru had passionate hearts in her eyes, since she felt her inner core was struck by a cupid's arrow, as she heard him say those indirect words of praise about her, making her to have fleeting thoughts above the clouds, while she was looking at him,
(”Awwwww...To think you've learned so much from me, my dear Zera...”).
The last dark Goddess judge at the righmost area, who has a golden polished hair and looked-like a matured gravure idol of sorts due to her attire without any ounce of decency, looked with dangerous interest at Zeran and Ru. Then, the dark Goddess judge asked like she was a daring and a gossip loving woman,
”Hmmmm...I just wanna ask something...What's the relationship between the two of you?”
”It's highly unlikely for a chosen hero to work with a dark Goddess...but, nevermind...”
”You two can keep your private matters all to yourselves...for now...”.
Though, her eyes upon the two of them were filled with some kind of deep interest since, she wanted to know more about their personal relationship in truth. The crowd were left silent afterwards and they were having embarrassing rumors about Zeran and Ru, as she revealed that personal topic. Sadly, her fellow dark Goddess judges looked at her with their kinda irritated expressions, since she didn't do much for Ru's trial and turned the whole ambience into some kind of a steaming showbiz and misleading the masses. Sooner or later, the serious-looking Goddess judge at the middle broke the growing tension by clapping her hands and said,
”Well then...dark Goddess Ruhime and dark hero Zeran...”
”We shall tell the result later on...”.
Afterwards, the two of them were transported back to the outskirts of Celestia heavenly mall where Mai and Arseia were sitting on the wooden benches waiting for their return. Later, Arseia hugged Zeran like she was a worried mother and told him with all her heart of a loving parent,
”I'm glad you two came back in one piece...”.
As for Ru, she was also feeling a sense of happiness as she was witnessing the thankful Goddess mother Arseia that her son was still alive. Mai sighed and said with an awkward smile on her face, since she was already convinced for Ange's case,
”And Angehime's done for...”.
Zeran asks,
”Eh? Why's that?”.
Later, the four of them sat on the vacant benches and the three Goddesses told Zeran when a Goddess in Celestia heavenly system doesn't return from her judgement trial, it doesn't bode well. Sadly, Zeran didn't clearly understood on what they meant. They were at wits end, since they don't know how to explain it in brief. Instead, Mai tried to let him recall her Goddess incident during her time in the world of Aiko. In turn, Zeran was now able to understand upon what they were trying to say, so he was convnced that Ange will get punished for her ambitious actions. It seemed the three Goddesses were silent, as they heard him say a very dire topic in which he was just looking at the tree instead of a forest, so Mai says,
”Those were just minor things...”
”What Angehime did was a major thing...”.
”So...”
”She'll either be casted into the HELLION SYSTEM to become a lesser demon, namely a succubus...due to her nature...”
”Or...she'll be FOREVER erased from existence...”.
For some reason, Ru didn't look happy, as she heard Mai's critical words about Ange, even though Ru was grieviously tortured by Ange previously, despite Ru's nature of a vile dark Goddess that would be very unforgiving to her enemies. While for Zeran, he was kinda filled with a mix of shock and doubt,
(”Eh?! That harsh?! Well...she deserved a punishment but, that's kinda cruel...and I had a feeling she was just being manipulated by that other light Goddess...”).
The three Goddesses sighed with their sorrowful faces, feeling great pity for the case of Ange, while Zeran was looking at the ceiling of the lavishing mall, thinking some kind of idea. A little while later, he looked at Mai and continued the flow of the topic by asking,

”Err...is that the only punishment she would get?”.
Though, Mai noticed that he was very much concerned for Ange due to his doubtful tone, so she says straight into his face,
”Let me guess...you're worried about her huh?”.
As Ru, heard his amount of little concern to her Goddess counterpart, Ru wagged her tail like she was a teasing sinister fox and she comments like she was a daring and flirty woman,
”Awwww...Zera's such a softie...”.
Then, Arseia said,
”For a son of mine, you're too soft...”
”But...there's a way...”.
