I Joined the Underworld as a Judge, and I Still Have to Work After I Die

Judge Mu Mu is at work when an angry defendant hurls a high heel at her. It hits her fatal spot, and she dies.

But nobody told her she'd still have to go to work after dying!

The underworld is overcrowded and buried in all kinds of chaos, and there is a severe shortage of judges, so she's drafted into service.

Mu Mu: ...

First case: A married couple wants to separate and divorce.

Mu Mu: "You can't. You're buried together. Apply to visit your children in their dreams and ask them to separate you."

Second case: A man returns to visit his family on the Ghost Festival, then follows, harasses, and threatens a young woman. Her relatives in the underworld have filed a complaint against him.

Mu Mu: "You stalked, harassed, and threatened her, putting her personal safety at risk. And since you're dead and she's alive, that's an aggravating factor. You're sentenced to three years, and your chance to reincarnate is pushed back five years!"

Third case: Two young people were forced into a ghost marriage by their parents, but they don't like each other.

Mu Mu: "This still happens in this day and age? Your marriage is declared invalid. Contact the office in the world of the living and get the police involved!"

As Mu Mu resolves one case after another, her reputation in the underworld grows, and more and more cases are assigned to her.

Mu Mu protests vehemently: "Just because I'm capable doesn't mean I can keep working forever! I object! I strongly object!"

The King of Hell: "Your objections won't help. We're short-staffed. If you won't do it and he won't do it, who will?"

Mu Mu's eyes shift as she turns her attention to her coworkers.

Judges who are about to reach the end of their lives, it would be a shame to send you straight off to reincarnate. Why not join the workforce instead? Hahaha!
