Bianca's POV
Currently in the Palace of the Underworld.
"You're Bianca Edelweiss?" The recognized king of death and the final judge on the destiny of souls questioned her.
A. K. A. 'King Yama'.
He sat at his throne-like desk while I'm here right on the floor and kneeling in it's presence. Both my hands and feet are chained.
We are three meters apart. Yet his voice was heard throughout the hall.
"Hm. That's right." I answered politely.
It turned his gaze to the book he was holding that contained various informations about me.
"You weren't much good in your previous life before you died." He stated.
I know.
"There are almost over 20,000 complaints from millions of victims to you." He continued.
I know that too.
"According to the rules, you will be reborn as an animal." He said it while looking at me.
"It's alright." I simply answered.
He turned his gaze back to the book he was holding and frowned in astonishment.
"But the letters of appreciation and blessings for you are no less than the number of complaints either." He said with full of astonishment.
"Weapon Specialist? You killed hundreds of people but you also managed to save the nation you grew up in?" It’s even more confusing.
I just bowed and didn't utter a word in astonishment at me.
One of his staff approached him and reported something to him and looking at it's expression really made it obvious that it is about me as well.
"King Yama, please take a look. Her death is suspiciously strange." He handed the papers he was holding to King Yama.
"She assassinated others with her weapon inventions then suddenly took the last weapon she created and died strangely. But she left all her created weapons to the country's military. Then it has been used to save the nation from the invading nations." He gave a long explanation.
"How do we punish this?" King Yama confronted his staff and the little assistant panicked as well as also confused.
In the middle of their discussion, I got irritated by just listening and couldn't stand the situation anymore so I boldly joined to their conversation.
"King Yama, I beg to his highness to punish me and put me into the very bottom of the underworld and deprive me of any chance to be reincarnated." I calmly asked King Yama.
All of their jaws dropped. They were all surprised at my request. What sensible person would ask for such a thing?
"If I reincarnate then I may hurt others since I'm no good." I added.
King Yama thought carefully about what I just said and also examined me to see if I was true and honest to what I stated.
"This is the first time anyone has asked for that." He calmly stated.
I just simply smiled in front of him.
"Alright, I have decided. You, Bianca Edelweiss, I'll give you an another chance to be a good person!" He gladly announce it's sudden decision.
Ah?
"Wait! That's not what I want! I don't want to! No!" I panicked.
Suddenly, I began to fall into a dark pit for the unknown reason and my vision immediately became dark.
It was as if I was being forced to fall asleep.
But before I completely fainted, I clearly heard King Yama's last words.
"If you succeed in your mission to become a good one in the other world, I will give you the life you truly desire!" He happily stated.
Noooooooooo!
* * *
I can feel my consciousness is slowly returning back to me.
"Look at her dear, she's truly beautiful!"
"What a little precious!"
"She inherited my good looks dear!"
"Awwww ~ you're so cute ~"
I remember everything that happened at the palace of the underworld and that foolish decision of King Yama.
Remembering it all makes me furious!
But right now, I hear voices from different people. There are about six or more people around me.
But what nonsense are they blabbering on about?
I just regained my consciousness and what's with the fuss there and everything I hear about just now, hm?
It really hurts my ears so who are the speakers? And who are they even referring to?
I sighed and slowly opened my eyes.
"Uwaah! Look! She's going to open her eyes now!"
"This is a very precious moment!"
"That's what we're all waiting for! This moment!"
When I finally opened my eyes, I immediately saw a face of a man in his late twenties right in front of me.
... What the fu--
There was also a woman next to him.
Apart from the two of them, there are accompanied by three men in their early twenties and another two women in early twenties as well.
Ah?
Where am I?
What's happening?
The man in his late twenties reached his fingers right into my face and just suddenly pinched my left cheek.
*PAK!*
*Baby Talk* ("How dare you touch me! Hands off me *sshole! You better back off or else I'm going to-- I'll just leave that in your imagination!") I angrily slapped his hand away.
They were all surprised when I slapped this man's hand pretty hard.
Plus, I addedly gave him a deadly stare to back off.
But just a sec-- just noticed it right now.
Why is my voice and speech different from how I usually speak?
What did King Yama do about it?!
I turned to the side unintentionally and there was a mirror facing at me.
My jaw dropped when I saw myself, my form.
F*ck. I'm reincarnated as a baby ...
