The Greedy Judge

Side Story 1


Gates of the Hellish Yard
Gallerian: I hear a gavel...
Gallerian: Does that mean a trial is about to start?
???: ——————...
Gallerian: My name? Am I to take the stand right here, Master of the Hellish Yard?
Master of the Hellish Yard: ...
Gallerian: Hah. Fine. We shall see if you can pass judgment on me.
Gallerian: I am Gallerian Marlon. The Director of the USE Dark Star Bureau.
Master of the Hellish Yard: ————, ————...
Gallerian: Wait... I have only told you my name. How can you already have a verdict?
Gallerian: What am I being charged with? What about my right to not self-incriminate?
Gallerian: And where is the prosecution? Where is my lawyer? Are there any witnesses? You toy with me in such a manner...?!
Master of the Hellish Yard: ——————...
Gallerian: It suits me...?
Gallerian: Haha... Hahahaha...
Gallerian: Am I being punished for my life's transgression?
Gallerian: (If there is anything that I am guilty of, it is for having that affair with Ma...)
Gallerian: (Or is it because I did not cherish my wife enough? Or for not going on that trip with her and Michelle?)
Gallerian: ...
Gallerian: (If I chose differently then, would my future also have turned out differently?)
One day, in life
Gallerian's Room
Gallerian's Voice: You spent more money without asking again...? Just what exactly are you doing with it?!
Wife's Voice: Hmph. I already explained everything to you, and you even said, “Do as you please.”
Wife's Voice: Whose fault is it for not listening to what I was asking and deciding instead to focus on work?
Gallerian's Voice: What?! That means you deliberately chose that point in time to ask!
Wife's Voice: Yes, you are correct.
Wife's Voice: Isn't a judge's job to hear each side's argument? And yet, you are deaf to what your own wife says. Oh, the irony.
Gallerian's Voice: Speak for yourself! What do these dirty tricks say about you as a mother?! Are you not ashamed of yourself?!
Gallerian: ... Fair enough. That money came from her side of the family anyway.
Gallerian: And I have more pressing matters to attend to...
Gallerian: I am at long last the Director of the USE Dark Star Bureau. Not only that, I still need to read through these court documents.
Gallerian: First, I need to...
???: Daddy, are you still working...?
Gallerian: Michelle...?
Gallerian: No, dear, come in.
Michelle: Thank you, daddy. I want to talk to you about my trip...
Gallerian: Your trip?
Michelle: Yes. I plan on going while I'm still on break since I'll definitely be too busy once I begin university.
Gallerian: Are you going with your mother?
Michelle: Yes. Which is why you should go too, daddy.
Gallerian: I am far too busy to take a vacation right now. I was just appointed as a judge. You must understand.
Michelle: I see... That's too bad.
Gallerian: It will certainly be lonely...
Michelle: The servants will still be here, right? Also, I promise to call every day.
Gallerian: It will still feel lonely. Please, be careful not to let any strange boys pull one over you.
Michelle: Oh, daddy, you're such a worrywart.
Michelle: I promise to bring back plenty of souvenirs!
Gallerian: Thank you, Michelle. Have fun. Enjoy yourself.


Gallerian: My wife and Michelle took their trip... Across the ocean to my old home...
Gallerian: Michelle even called me every day like she promised, and told me about what happened each day in that cheerful tone of hers.
Gallerian: She also finished each call with, “Let's talk more once I get back!”...
Gallerian: She seemed so happy whenever she called me.
Gallerian: However...
Gallerian: She never came back...
Gallerian: ...
Gallerian: Who goes there...?
Gallerian: (I fired all of the servants... There should be nobody else except...)
???: Pardon my intrusion, Gallerian.
Gallerian: Ma... What are you doing here...?
Ma: You look terrible. Have you been eating? What would Michelle say if she ever saw you in such a state...?
Gallerian: ...!
Gallerian: You dare speak her name in my presence?!
Ma: My, all that rage. Just take a deep breath.
Ma: If you cannot stay calm, I will not be able to tell you about how to get Michelle back.
Gallerian: What do you mean...?
Ma: Do you remember our discussion surrounding the “Vessels of Sin”...?
Ma: The Venom Sword, the Glass of Conchita, the Four Mirrors of Lucifenia, the Clockworker's Doll, Kayo's Scissors, the Marlon Spoon and Grim the End...
Gallerian: Yes, I remember...
Gallerian: Each is inhabited by a demon and those who enter into a deal with them are blessed with various powers, but...
Gallerian: Most all end up destroying themselves.
Ma: Indeed. Each “crime” is accompanied by a “punishment”.
Ma: Gallerian... You are to gather the “Vessels of Sin”.
Gallerian: What...? You expect me to destroy myself after losing my beloved daughter?
Ma: No. Do you not recall the other piece of information that I mentioned regarding the “Vessels of Sin”?
Ma: How gathering all seven allows that person to have their wish granted?
Gallerian: ...!
Gallerian: Any wish...?
Ma: Any wish. Not only that, the Marlon Spoon, one of the “Vessels of Sin”, is already in your possession.
Gallerian: What...?
Ma: However, the Demon of Greed is not inhabiting it, so you will not be able to access its powers.
Ma: Instead, it is being inhabited by the spirit of “the one searching for whom they love”.
Gallerian: Whom they love...
Ma: That spirit will surely be able to guide you.
Ma: Now, you must submit yourself to it...
Gallerian: ...
Gallerian: I...
Gallerian: I... I...
Ma: Make up your mind, Gallerian Marlon...!
Gallerian: Michelle...


Gallerian: (If it means getting to see you again, I will gladly submit myself to a demon.)

Side Story 2


Gallerian's Room
Gallerian: The Marlon Spoon. One of the “Vessels of Sin”...
Gallerian: I made a deal with the spirit inhabiting it and now have my daughter back, albeit in an imperfect form.
Michelle?: ...
Gallerian: Oh, Michelle. Ma was kind enough to bring you some scripts.
Gallerian: You must be so bored not being able to go outside. These should help with that some, no...?
Michelle?: ...
Gallerian: With me? Yes, we can read some together later.
Gallerian: I promise to work hard to make sure that we can.


Gallerian: Afterwards, when the servants returned, they froze when they saw my daughter.
Gallerian: I suppose anybody would. The departed had returned. Not without some lower-limb issues, but returned no less.


Gallerian: Just you wait, Michelle. Daddy promises to make your legs all better.
Gallerian: And so, I must find them all... The “Vessels of Sin”...
Gallerian: In order to accomplish that... I require more funds.
Gallerian: Gathering information and actually buying them off from others will not be cheap. Bribes may become necessary as well...
Gallerian: Regardless, no half measures.
Gates of the Hellish Yard
Gallerian: ...
Master of the Hellish Yard: ——————...
Gallerian: What do you wish to tell me, Master?
Master of the Hellish Yard: ————, ————...
Gallerian: You claim that I did not pass judgment based on evidence or the truth? That I was at the mercy of the highest bidder?
Master of the Hellish Yard: ————, ————...
Gallerian: The innocent were convicted while the guilty ran free...?
Gallerian: Hmph... What of it?
Gallerian: With enough money, evidence-based truth would have prevailed. The innocent would not have had to pay and the guilty convicted.
Master of the Hellish Yard: ...
Gallerian: What is it? Speak up, will you?
Master of the Hellish Yard: ——————...
Gallerian: My friends turned their backs on me?
Gallerian: That is because of their selfishness!
Gallerian: They simply could not understand just how much Michelle meant to me...!


In life
Old Subordinate A: I will be resigning from my position at the Dark Star Bureau.
Gallerian: What?! No, who said that you could?! Certainly not me...
Old Subordinate A: Ugh...! I've had enough!
Old Subordinate A: You let that general go free.
Old Subordinate A: The monster that butchered all those innocent villagers after falsely claiming that they were in cahoots with a terrorist organization! We lost people as well!
Old Subordinate A: The other side also seems to already possess evidence showing that you were receiving bribes...
Gallerian: What...?!
Old Subordinate B: I shall be leaving as well...
Gallerian: You too?! Both of you are abandoning me...?!
Old Subordinate B: No, you did this to yourself.
Old Subordinate B: Gallerian... In time, you must face the music.
Old Subordinate B: It would only be fitting considering who you are.
Gallerian: ...


Gallerian: Soon afterwards, the media would get wind of the skeletons my cronies and I were hiding...
Gallerian: The people would not stand for this. They saw it as a signal to rise up against all forms of injustice, be it legal, political, economic, or military.
Gallerian: Some of them even had their sights set squarely upon me.
Gallerian: And then, I...
Citizens: The evil general? Lock 'em up!! The greedy judge? Lock 'em up!!
Citizens: Who's going on trial? Them!! Where's the gavel falling? On them!!


Gallerian: Trapped, like a rat...
Gallerian: ...
Gallerian: The Venom Sword, the Glass of Conchita, the Four Mirrors of Lucifenia, Kayo's Scissors and the Marlon Spoon...
Gallerian: Five out of seven... I was so close to saving Michelle...
Gallerian: Michelle...
Michelle?: ...
Gallerian: I'm so sorry, Michelle. I never meant for you to be sucked into this mess...
Michelle?: ...
Gallerian: But there is a silver lining to all this. We will be together until the end...
Michelle?: ...
Gallerian: Regardless of what awaits me on the other side, everything will be just fine. I have plenty of money to spare.
Gallerian: After all, they say, “Money is the best lawyer.” Especially where I may very well end up.
Gallerian: As long as I have my money, I can continue gathering the “Vessels of Sin” even on the other side. I will come back for you.
Gallerian: We will be together again... We can finally be happy. I'm sure of it.


Master of the Hellish Yard: ...
Gallerian: That will be it for my defense...
Gallerian: However, Master of the Hellish Yard, this farce of a trial and your pithy verdict will no longer be necessary.
Master of the Hellish Yard: ...?
Gallerian: I have no intention of being judged by the likes of you.
Gallerian: Just you wait, Michelle...
Gallerian: I will get you back...
Gallerian: H-Haha... Hahahaha!
