Otherworldly Escapade

Re:Hell "Alteine The Half-Elf Royal"

Supreme Judge of Earth's Hell Soliloquy

Today is somehow a regular day here in hell. Everybody does their jobs and parts. Though I've noticed these past years that some souls that I judge are so baffled to know that such things exist. They didn't even knew I am the Yama that will judge them. The people that got sent here in here are very arrogant and thought that they could bring in such personality, well it is always a first but I remember a certain person telling me that things are changing.

I stroke my chin as I remember her name and face. She was none other than Rain but this is only her name in Japanese. Though, this name sounds lovely, I think I prefer to call her to what she really is named in her language and that would be Alteine Meran Deux Faurus. Yes, that's her full name in a language that has long been lost as said by her. If you are wondering why the long name? Then it is because she is a royalty. I'm not too confused as I've dealt with people that has long names.

She may not look like it but she is a half-elf. By that I mean, her human side is more dominant than her elf part. In elven culture, those with heterochromatic eyes are one true royals and are regarded with all respect. Alteine is one as she is a princess though she once told me it was called a Prinzessin.

Did I mention that I'm just outside? Well, not that hell has many indoor offices to offer but I do prefer to be out and wander to give people some advice though they always try to avoid me whenever I walk by. I do think that my position must have something to do with it.

"Ah! There you are, miss Emna!" I hear a voice calling out to me and it was one of my subordinates. She seems a bit frantic over something.

"Yes? Why do you need me? I asked.

"...I was told that I should come and specifically fetch you as instructed by Hecatia-sama!" She said while trying to be polite.

Lady Hecatia, she's the one who we answer to as she is the Goddess of Hell. She has a different kind of thinking and very eccentric but she does in fact care for all under her. Recently, I heard that she's giving out more break time for us Yama.

Though I'm not really sure why she is here? An inspection visit? Maybe she has yet another idea that she wants to discuss with me? The last we had one, I could not follow a single thing and outright told her so. I better go and meet her right away.

I then followed and didn't think that this day would be very much a special day.

As I could see lady Hecatia up in the air, I wondered why is that? I also saw her friend who she frequently meets with. They quickly noticed me and I hurriedly flew to their side. I instructed my subordinate to return to her own duty after she escorted me.

I greeted them and apologized for being late. Lady Hecatia was still the same as ever but she said to me next made me quite uneasy and surprised as she told me to look down and I find this single person looking at us. I was very surprised indeed as the person I saw was just the girl I am reminiscing earlier. What kind of timing is this? That does not matter as I would like to know why she is here again. I then heard lady Hecatia spoke to her as if she was telling her to remember. If lady Hecatia is involved then this could be bad, the last time Alteine was here, she is being hunted down by everyone and this order was given by none other than lady Hecatia herself.

I know lady Hecatia is not the type to do that but it must be done to avoid a conflict in rule. If she becomes too lenient to let such a thing go then many would think it is okay to do so and doubt her. Hence, why I understand what she has to do and Alteine herself knows that and she can't blame the goddess for doing her job. That is why the truth is that they are just faking as enemies when that happened. The denizens of Hell must have been really convinced by that performance.
