3 July 2018

  "*sigh* I think we're done for the day."

  "Good job, senpai."

  Yuki and Neo have just finished giving Judgment to a mother who was jealous of her own children's achievements. They are currently in the desert outside a city.

  "Still, after all said and done, now we're back in another desert. . ."

  "No use complaining, senpai, let's find another oasis so we can sleep."

  Yuki generates ice and creates a giant bird. She hops onto it, and Neo follows after. The bird flaps its wings and soars towards the night sky of the desert.

  "I'm exhausted."

  "You can rest on my back."

  "Really? Well, if you say so."

  Neo rests his head against Yuki's back.

  ". . ."

  "Senpai. . .I really appreciate calm and blissful moments like this. Thank you for always being by my side. Also for becoming my Support."

  *zzzzzz*

  "(Ah, he's asleep. . .)"

  They fly silently for about 15 minutes.

  .

  .

  .

  "Senpai."

  ". . ."

  "Senpai."

  Yuki shakes Neo and wakes him up.

  "Oh! I'm sorry. *yawns* I never intended to actually fall asleep. *yawns*"

  "That's okay. We arrived in an oasis a moment ago. I already made the igloo and prepared everything else. Let's go inside."

  "Wait, what? I'm so sorry kouhai! I should've helped you!"

  "It's fine, senpai. Let's just end the day."

  Yuki and Neo went to bed for the rest of the night.

  .

  .

  .

  Or at least that was their intention, because Yuki woke up at midnight.

  "Senpai, wake up."

  "Mmmmmmm. . ."

  Yuki jumps a bit and lets her butt fall towards Neo's stomach, and she bounces off of him.

  "AAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKHH!!!"

  Neo immediately woke up and rolled back and forth on the ice while holding his stomach.

  "Senpai, I apologize for waking you up so violently, but I sense the presence of another Judge."

  *!!*

  Normally, that act would have pissed Neo off, but the moment Yuki explained the situation, she was just doing it so Neo woke up fast, given the urgency, so he understood immediately.

  "So, what're we gonna do?"

  "I don't want to have anything to do with any of the Judges."

  "Alright, I get it!"

  Neo and Yuki immediately clean up everything. Yuki thawed all of her ice in the area and summoned another bird made out of ice.

  "Let's go, senpai."

  "Right behind you!"

  They hop on it, and the bird immediately flies away from the area.

  "Kouhai-kun. . ."

  "Yes, senpai?"

  "There's a very bright light behind chasing us in the sky. They're fast! Funny how that bright light is a giant pair of wings made of golden flame."

  "I'll speed it up."

  The ice bird flies faster to escape the golden flame chasing them. The giant pair of golden flame wings also flies faster towards them.

  "Onii-chan, that thing flies quite fast."

  "Don't worry, I am faster!"

  The giant pair of golden fiery wings has already caught up to them in a breeze and is currently flying next to him.

  "HEY!"

  "Ignore them, ignore them." said Yuki.

  "HEY!! YOU'RE THE 4TH JUDGE, AREN'T YOU?"

  "Ignore them, ignore them." said Neo.

  "OOIIIII!!! I'M TALKING TO YOU TWO!!"

  "Onii-chan, they are completely ignoring us!"

  "Should we use force?"

  "That would give them a bad impression towards us, wouldn't it?"

  "Yes, but Light said it himself that the situation is sort of urgent."

  "Well then, that gives us no choice."

  Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

  All of a sudden, a giant talon of flame appears above Yuki and Neo.

  "They attack!"

  "Senpai, take my hand."

  Yuki and Neo jump off the bird as the bird itself gets crushed by the giant talon of flame. Then the giant talon of flame, as well as the icy bird, breaks apart at the same time.

  "Oh, I forgot that would happen. . . which means she's really a Judge! WE'VE FOUND THEM!!"

  "Onii-chan, they're getting away!"

  Yuki creates a sliding platform in the sky. Yuki and Neo slide on the icy platform as Yuki keeps generating more platforms in front of them and thaws out any platform behind Neo. They slide at a speed of 50km/h. The ones who've been chasing after them were Runelt and Rena.

  "I have been tracking you two down for more than a month."

  Runelt's wings of flame burn brighter.

  "I'M NOT LETTING YOU GO!"

  Runelt descends at an incredibly high speed, easily catching up to them.

  "O-ONII-CHAN, CALM DOWN OR I'M GONNA FALL!!"

  "They're here, Kouhai!"

  "They're faster than me."

  Runelt flies on their right side with Rena on his back, and transforms his left leg into a giant talon of flame. He boosts himself forward and places himself in front of Yuki and Neo.

  "GET DOWN!"

  "ARGH!"

  "Urgh!"

  He immediately turns around and kicks both of them away with his giant talon of golden flame. The icy platform breaks apart as well as Runelt's giant flaming talon.

  "Kouhai, grab onto me!"

  Neo pulls Yuki to his chest and embraces her with both of his hands. They fall towards the sand below at high velocity.

  "Kouhai, brace for impact!"

  Neo turns around and lets his back face the surface of the sand, and transforms his back into silver.

  *DEESSSSHHHHH*

  They landed, and the impact blew away the sand around, creating a small sand crater where they landed.

  "You okay, kouhai?"

  "Wouldn't it be safer and less impactful if you just hit the sand with your back? Transforming really exaggerates the landing, and now, look at all this mess."

  "Err, okay, sorry, kouhai. . ."

  "(I should've controlled the mass of my Silver. . .)"

  "Sorry, Senpai, I was kidding. Thank you. . ." says Yuki as she moves her face in closer to Neo's.

  "*COUGH COUGH* WOULD YOU TWO PLEASE GET UP AND GET AWAY FROM EACH OTHER THIS INSTANT?"

  "My stupid sister, why the heck are you jealous of people you've never even met?"

  Runelt and Rena have landed at the corner of the crater. Yuki and Neo get up and stand up.

  "What do you want?" asks Neo.

  "I apologize for kicking you two down! You two were sort of ignoring us, so I really didn't have any choice."

  "Apology accepted. Now speak your matter." said Yuki.

  "First, introduction. My name is Runelt Redwingz. I am the Second Judge, the Judge of Pride. Pleased to meet you!"

  "And my name is Rena Redwingz. I am his Support as well as his step-sister. Pleasure to meet you as well!"

  "You two have manners. I respect that. Very well, my name is Miage Yuki. I am the Fourth Judge, the Judge of Envy. Nice to meet you, too."

  "And my name is Fukibayashi Neo. Just call me Neo. I am her Support as well as her senpai. Nice to meet you two!"

  "Now then, what do you want from us?" asks Yuki.

  "The leader of the Judges, the First Judge, wants to gather all of the Judges in one place. He has something to discuss, urgent, important matters."

  ". . .Does this have anything to do with the sin of the entire world?"

  "Beats me! He said he would tell us after all of us are gathered, so none of us would do something reckless. That's why we want you to come and sign your agreement at the gathering. We want you two to be there!"

  ". . . ."

  "What should we do, kohai?" whispers Neo.

  "I'm interested in what the leader has to say. Who knows, it might be connected to that demon we encountered, but. . . you know. . ."

  "So, we're ditching them?"

  "Yes, probably for the best."

  Yuki and Neo finish whispering to one another.

  "Sorry, I cannot agree to that."

  Yuki immediately turns her back and starts walking away.

  "Well then, excuse us!"

  Neo also turns his back and catches up to Yuki.

  "Onii-chan. . ."

  "Sigh~ I don't really wanna use force! Don't worry, I won't let them go just like that! We've been chasing them for more than a month after all!"

  Runelt raises his right hand to the side. His right hand burns and transforms into a golden wing of flame. He swings his hand in a throwing motion, and the golden wing of flame launches off his arm. The golden wing of flame rotates in the air as if it's a giant buzz saw heading towards Yuki and Neo.

  Suddenly, an ice wall is erected behind both of them, and the golden wing of flame hits the ice wall. At the moment of impact, the ice wall and the golden wing of flame break apart and disappear completely.

  ". . . ."

  Yuki and Neo turn around.

  "Is this a provocation?" asks Yuki with a monotonous tone, with the same expressionless face.

  ". . . ."

  Runelt and Rena are stunned.

  "Uuuh, are you angry or not? Your sentence says you are, but your face and tone don't say so." said Runelt, confused.

  "What a difficult girl to read." adds Rena.

  "Yeah? Try to be me! She is really difficult to tell 24/7." said Neo, agreeing.

  Yuki looks to Neo.

  "Senpai, I'll freeze you later."

  "(That is a hundred times scarier than it actually sounds! Those eyes of hers felt like they stared right into my soul. . .)" said Neo inside his head as he was frightened.

  "I can't let you go just like that! I spent most of my time searching for you two! Please understand! The world is a big place. It was exhausting." said Runelt.

  "Do you have any personal grudges with one of the Judges?" asks Rena.

  "I wouldn't say personal, since you are the first Judge I've ever met after all, but I do have something in mind that just doesn't sit right with me."

  "Would you mind telling us what it is?"

  ". . .Do you guys know about the rumor of 'Nightmare'?"

  *!*

  Runelt and Rena were surprised. They recognize that name.

  "Apparently, he is a sadistic torturer who lurks around the underworld, the dark side of society. He tortured people as painfully as he could before ultimately killing them. All of his victims either have very grotesque wounds or are in disgusting conditions." said Neo.

  "And there's this other rumor that 'Nightmare' himself is none other than the First Judge. Basically, our leader is a sociopath." adds Neo.

  ". . . ."

  "Hm? You two don't look surprised. Did you know about this?" asks Neo.

  "It's a long story, but basically, it was just him being haunted by his trauma. He is nothing like the rumors said." answers Rena.

  "And this is where we part ways, goodbye." said Yuki.

  Yuki and Neo turn their back once again. They started walking away again.

  Rena raises her pointing finger, swinging it horizontally with the tip of her pointing finger lit up with her scarlet flame. Suddenly, there's a large wall of scarlet flame surrounding the four of them, forming a giant circle with a diameter of 1 kilometer in the middle of the desert at midnight.

  ". . . ."

  "This is no longer intimidation. Are you two looking for a fight?" asks Neo.

  "I advise not to. A fight between Judges only results in destruction." said Yuki.

  "Sorry, but you two are so stubborn."

  "Let me make this clear. I have no intention of working together with murderers. We are chosen by the One True God. Our duty is to save people. I don't accept a murderer as our leader. And to make things worse, I know about the Seventh Judge being the rumored serial killer Judge as well. I don't want to have anything to do with any of these people! Is that clear?" said Yuki.

  "Not clear enough!" said Rena.

  Rena prepares a punch, and her right arm is engulfed by her scarlet flame. The scarlet flame gradually takes the shape of a dove on her arm. She punches the air and launches her scarlet dove of flame.

  "I'll take this Kohai!"

  Neo walks to Yuki's front. He accepts the upcoming dove of scarlet flame with his right palm. The scarlet flame rages on his hand for a few seconds, but it eventually disperses.

  "Onii-chan, my flame doesn't work on that guy. He receives it with his open palm, and he doesn't even seem to flinch."

  "He's probably a transformation type, basically your greatest weakness."

  "You attacked first, so this is just self-defense on our end." said Yuki.

  Behind Yuki, a gigantic hand made of ice rises. At the same time, the sand under Yuki's and Neo's feet is frozen solid. Yuki moves her open palm forward, signaling the gigantic hand of ice to clench and form a fist, and swings towards Runelt and Rena.

  "Rena, prepare to counter!"

  Rena walks back behind Runelt. Runelt puts his right hand forward, and it transforms into a giant talon of golden flame. The gigantic fist of ice was caught by Runelt's golden talon of flame. At the moment of contact, both of their attacks break apart completely that even the sand under Yuki and Neo's feet thawed out.

  "(So, the rule of the Judges where our Faith power cancels each other affects an elemental type that it even cancels everything that was connected with the canceled part of her ice, that kinda puts me in an advantage.)" said Runelt.

  "This is my first time seeing Faith power cancel one another." said Yuki

  "Kohai, you're at a disadvantage here. Wanna run?"

  "We'll play for a little while. I'm kinda interested in the Second Judge."

  . . . . .

  "Senpai, I mean that I'm interested in the sense that I can see them as our potential comrade in the future, so we can make a small squad battling the sins of the entire world. I don't mean it romantically! I only have eyes for you, senpai!"

  "I-I didn't really even think it that way, but thank you! That makes me happy. . ."

  Yuki and Neo's faces turn red a bit.

  "YOU TWO REALLY ARE A NUISANCE!" said Rena with a deep anger tone.

  "(My sister only has one personality. . .)" said Runelt while crying on the inside.
