Sho's heart was thumping unusually loud. But he felt more confident and assertive because he was not alone.
He had someone who has the capability of making his escape success from the charges of hell. He just had to carry on with her plan. But why was she trying to save him? He didn't know. Maybe she had some other plans for him.
He already knew that it is not safe to trust her but he had no other choice. The worst possible outcome, hell, was already assigned to him so trust or betrayal wouldn't make a difference.
She was walking beside him. More precisely, She was his escort to the judgment hall. He felt like a chained dog whose life was in the hands of his master.
They reached the entrance. Two guards were standing there waiting for them. One of them waved his palm in front of his eyes.
'Huh? I can't see. What did you do?' Sho panicked
"Don't worry. It's for your safety. If you enter inside with naked eyes, your soul will burn out. But you will be fine with this arrangement." She said.
'What the hell? She is saying something like that so casually. Arrangement? I am rendered sightless because of it. Also, I get the vibes of the courts on Earth from inside.' Sho thought.
He entered together with the goddess*
'By the way, you said that you know what happened while I was asleep. Can you tell me about it?' He asked.
"It's a long story and I don't like to speak too much so I will summarize it real quick."
"Do you remember the man who died together you?" She asked.
'Oh, that fatty. Yeah, I know. Is he somehow related?' Sho asked.
"No. It was the opposite. The so-called 'poor soul' was that man whom you injured."
It all made sense now. Sho was feeling proud of himself for what he did although he didn't remember doing anything to him.
"He was given the 'Ticket to the reincarnation' and you snatched it from him to intrude the wrong entrance." She said.
'Huh? How can I be so foolish? I should have known that it wouldn't be that easy. But wait, I am not the culprit. I was in between a great nap while all this happened, but still, here I am taking someone else's punishment.' Sho thought.
'Who is the real culprit?' Sho asked.
"You don't need to know that. You need to grow up a little. But I can say one thing, that me helping you escape is connected to your question. This is all you get for now." She answered.
'This is unexpected. How did I enter between this metaphorical talk? I guess she is right. It's still too early for me to know any more than this.' Sho thought.
"Is this the kid?" A voice spoke.
From his voice, he seemed quite old.
'Aren't angels supposed to be immortal or something? Or this man has a thing for cosplays. Who knows? Anything can happen here.' Sho thought.
"Yeah." She answered.
"What are we waiting for? Just throw him into the abyss." The old man said.
'Huh? Slow down a little, old man. Don't end things so quickly for me.' Sho thought.
"With all due respect, I request you to cancel all of his charges and set him free." She said.
'Eh?? This was not included in the plan. What is she talking about? Like he will do as you say.' Sho thought.
"Who permitted you to speak to me like that? You don't have the authority to question my judgment." The old man shouted.
"Whatever. You should not speak those words when you are the one punishing this child based on the future that may or may not occur." She said.
"Shut up."
'This man is nothing like angels. His short temper brings him close to the human species.' Sho thought.
"Okay okay. Don't shout like that. You are ruining our names, acting like this in front of a human. First, listen to what he wants to say and then act accordingly." She said.
"What will he say now?" The old man said looking at Sho.
'Looks like it's my turn.' Sho thought.
'Ahem Ahem...If you let me go I will do a favor to you all.' Sho said with a carefree tone.
"What is he saying? Does he think that he can get away from us with that attitude?" The old man said.
'I agree to take the error away from here if you reincarnate me.' Sho said.
"Wha-What did he just say?" The old man said with a shocked face.
"You heard it right. Also, don't you think it will be a lot safer if someone was there with him to monitor him all the time?" She said.
"That's..."
"Okay then, it's decided." She said.
'Huh? It is already over. He didn't raise a single word against the remark. Am I being tied to something super dangerous? Well, it all worked in the end. I will see through whatever comes next at that time.' Shin sighed in relief.
They moved out from the entrance and Sho got his eyesight back. The goddess was standing beside him smiling as if something really funny happened.
'What is this error that you were talking about inside, Miss Goddess?' Sho asked
"Oh that. I am the error." She said while curling her hair.
'Huh?'
"..."
'...'
'Huuuuuhhhhhhh!!!!!!! No-no-no. Did I join hands with some annoying person? Anyways why is she even called error and why does everyone want her to go away from here?' Many things came into Sho's mind at the same time.
'Umm, so you will be going with me.' Sho asked.
"You don't seem happy. Don't you feel like jumping from the heavens? You won't meet someone as beautiful as me ever again, you know." She said with a smug.
'I literally feel like jumping from the heavens. Now she is starting to show her true self. I don't even feel 'that' type of feeling now. I guess it all changed due to the change in perspective.' Sho thought.
'Yeah, right. So, should I just go through this reincarnating machine with you?' Sho asked.
"Not exactly. I can't go to the lower world in this form so I will be sealed inside you until you become eligible."
'Hmm, then what should I do after reaching there?'
"You will live your life like a normal reincarnated person. It's your second life. Enjoy it. Also, all your memories of this place will be erased once you reincarnate."
'Then what will happen to you?'
"Ah, don't worry. I have already given you a parting gift. It will be the connection between you and me. Once you become eligible, you will see me again."
'Hmm, I feel sorry for you.'
'Poor error.' Sho thought.
"Ok then. We have already wasted too much time. You should go now."
'Hmm? But you-... Kyaaaah.'
Sho panicked like a girl. She suddenly jumped over him and they both started falling downwards.
"Just kidding. Don't worry I am always inside you."
'Yeah, right.'
And so Sho succeeded in getting out of the hell and also got to live a new life but who knew what fate had in store for him.
'I am really excited about this.' Shin said.
