Inuyasha: A Different Kind of Dog General

During the trial, the deceased is not even allowed to defend himself, and once the verdict is handed down, it cannot be changed.

After a while, just when Komachi was about to put his face close to hers and "bully" her, Aicai raised his head in Komachi's arms.

"Lord Onozuka, by order of Lord Shiki..."

This made Komachi suddenly serious.

Love's voice was so ethereal that it seemed to come from far away, "I'm here to help you deal with the backlog of dead souls."

"As expected of Lord Shiki!"

Komachi's voice was filled with unconcealed joy, "I knew she loved me the most~"

Ai blinked, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Master Shiki also said that if he catches you slacking off again, all future vacations will be canceled."

Komachi's smile froze instantly, and her shoulders visibly slumped.

"Master Shiki is going too far."

She scratched her head, and suddenly became energetic again and put her arm around Yanma Ai's shoulders.

"But it's great to have Ai-chan's help! Come on, let me teach you a few tricks to being lazy."

Chapter 149: Really like the big boss behind the scenes (more)

In the deepest part of the Judgment Hall of Right and Wrong, Princess Shiki was sitting high on a throne carved from black jade.

The stick of repentance in her hand had already left an afterimage, drawing golden streaks of light in the dark hall.

Beneath the jade throne, dense crowds of dead souls knelt on the ground.

The wailing sounds that came one after another turned the solemn and dignified Supreme Court into a bustling market.

"You are guilty!"

The stick of repentance emitted a dazzling golden light, pointing directly at the ghost of a warrior wearing two swords on his waist.

The dead soul's armor was still stained with dried blood, but he was now trembling under the power of judgment, with tears and snot streaming down his face.

"You used living people to test your swords, and you have taken twenty-seven innocent lives. Your sins are unforgivable, and you will be damned to hell!"

The warrior's ghost let out a shrill wail, and suddenly a scarlet vortex appeared under his feet. Countless ghost hands tore him apart and sank him into the abyss.

"And you!"

The golden light suddenly turned to a ghost of a merchant wrapped in silk.

The ghost was still holding a box full of fake medicine in his arms. At this moment, the pills in the box were turning into poisonous insects and fleeing in all directions.

"Smuggling counterfeit medicine, concealing the virus, causing plague in several cities, turning the elderly, the weak, women, and children into mere bones—this sin is monstrous, and they will be condemned to eternal damnation in the bloody hell!"

The merchant's cries and pleas for mercy suddenly stopped, and his body spontaneously combusted.

With screams, he turned into a charred skeleton and was dragged into the ground by iron chains.

Beneath the jade throne, the remaining ghosts were so frightened that their souls were scattered.

Still under the forced influence of the repentance stick, he cried bitterly and confessed his sins like pouring beans.

Yingji rubbed her swollen and aching temples.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the pile of scrolls on the desk—those were the souls of the dead in Kyushu awaiting judgment.

"The Western Kingdom had just found a moment of peace, but the entire world was in turmoil, especially the Kyushu region!"

Yingji's voice was like the sound of cold spring water hitting jade, but it couldn't hide the deep weariness between her brows.

Now the Yamas in various regions are too busy to handle the situation, and the judgment system of hell is already operating at overload, but with little success.

The souls of the dead are like a waterfall, hanging upside down from the underworld, filling every crevice of the netherworld.

The water level of the Forgetful River rose, the Three Paths River overflowed, and even the sword mountains and sword trees in the eighteen levels of hell were hung with souls, creating a ridiculous scene of overcrowding with ghosts.

(If this continues, I'm afraid the souls of the dead in the underworld will break through the boundary between Yin and Yang and cause a catastrophic disaster in the world of the living.)

Yingji gripped the stick of repentance tightly, her eyes dark.

The order of the underworld is already like a taut string, and can no longer withstand the impact of more dead souls.

If the yin and yang are out of balance and the gates of hell are wide open, wandering ghosts will wreak havoc on the world, leaving the living with no peace and the dead with nowhere to go.

The whole world is likely to fall into unprecedented chaos.

"So, you want to help?"

Suddenly, a pitch-black gap silently opened up, and first a slender white hand stretched out, followed by Saigyouji Yuyuko with two buns stuffed in her mouth.

She spoke incoherently, with a leisurely smile still on her face.

Behind him is the inseparable guardian gardener soul Yaoji, and several ghosts like big white balls are floating behind him.

In the gap, Yakumo Yukari was half hidden between reality and illusion, with an open folding fan in her hand, and the word "not guilty" on the fan was particularly eye-catching.

She covered her lips with a fan, revealing only a pair of eyes that were always difficult to understand.

Yingji frowned slightly, and her eyes wandered between Youyouzi and Zi for a moment.

She said rudely, "Youyouzi, why do you still have time to run around now? Have you finished your work in the underworld?"

Youyouzi is kind-hearted and plump, with all the nutrients grown in the right places. There is no sign of guilt on her round and smooth face.

She turned around lightly and hid behind the soul demon Ji nimbly.

Then, with a whoosh, it slipped into the closing gap, leaving behind only a faint scent of cherry blossoms.

Yingji's eyes twitched slightly. Looking at the only remaining soul of Yaoji in front of her, she swallowed back all the words in her heart.

Finally, she sighed, her tone filled with helplessness and fatigue.

"Go ahead."

Yingji turned her wrist lightly, and the stick of repentance passed silently, and another sinful villain fell into hell with a scream.

"Those two irresponsible monsters, what do you want to convey?"

"What do you mean by helping?"

The guard gardener who was abandoned by the master cleared his throat and began to talk about Youyouko, no, it should be said that the plan of the monster sage.

………………

"I was really scared~"

Youyouzi lightly passed through the gap and landed on the corridor of the White Jade Tower.

She pretended to wipe her smooth forehead with her sleeve, and her cherry-colored eyes rolled around as she looked at Yakumo Yukari who was leisurely sipping tea in the courtyard.

"purple--"

She drew out the last syllable, and floated to the tea table like a cherry blossom blown down by the wind, and her wide sleeves brought with them a faint fragrance.

"Didn't we agree to face Yingji together? Why don't you come with us?"

"If Yingji catches me and lectures me, I'll probably have to listen to her 'repentance lecture' for three days and three nights."

As she spoke, Youyouzi's slender willow-shaped eyebrows frowned, and while muttering complaints, she picked up a piece of cherry blossom cake and stuffed it into her mouth, her pink cheeks puffed up.

"Isn't this An Ran back?"

Zi slowly picked up the teacup, gently sipped the rim of the cup with her thin lips, leaving a faint lip mark.

Even the dignified Yokai Sage has a headache facing Shiki Eiji, who has her own principles and bottom line, is difficult to defeat and cannot be defeated.

"Master Youyouzi, please have some tea."

Konpaku Youmu came over at the right time, with a stern look on her childish face.

Trying to act like a serious butler, he respectfully presented the teacup with both hands.

However, Youyouzi just held her chin and stared at her with a smile, her cherry-colored eyes full of mischievous smiles.

In just three seconds, the tips of Youmu's ears turned red, and her forced calmness collapsed in an instant.

She lowered her head in panic.

He began to hurriedly arrange the tea set, stuttering as he spoke, "Um, um...tea will be here soon!"

Seeing this, Youyouzi smiled even more brightly, like a cat that had stolen a fish.

"Oh my, our Youmu is getting cuter and cuter~"

Youyouko looked at Youmu's hurriedly departing back, her fingertips gently twirling the falling hair, her eyes flashing with joy as if she had succeeded in a prank.

She suddenly turned around and moved closer to Zi, "Zi, don't you think so?"

Her eyes blinked, with an inexplicable color surging in them, "She is obviously a girl in her sixties, but she still acts like a little girl..."

"The lifespan of a monster is truly long... so long that there's no end in sight..."

Zi used the folding fan in her hand to press against Youyouzi's forehead as she got closer and closer.

She stared at Miss Saigyouji, whose words were full of hidden meaning, with a smile on her face.

"If you keep teasing me like this, be careful that Youmu will really run away from home one day."

"I don't want to~"

Youyouzi slumped limply on the tea table. "Zi, who said that, has to help me find it back~"

As she spoke, her fingers had already restlessly hooked towards the snack box that Zi had placed aside.

Ziyan quickly fanned away the "evil" little hand and asked, "Didn't you just eat it?"

Seeing Youyouzi's face instantly fall, he couldn't help but add, "If you keep eating, I'm afraid you'll eat up all of Baiyulou's budget for this month."

"What does it matter~"

Youyouko shook her head playfully, "Youmu will find a way anyway!"

She looked so righteous and confident, like a victorious general.

"This is the tradition of the Saigyouji family. Youmu only needs to find a way to supplement the family income. I have a lot to consider."

Youyouzi shook her head proudly. "For example, what kind of dessert should I have for breakfast tomorrow?"
