"601... 602... Ahh... 603." A young man was doing push-ups as a sleeping beast's head was perched on top of him.
Unfortunately, the creature's beauty sleep was destroyed when the red-haired person crashed down.
"Gawww" groaned, the creatures irritated from getting her sleep disturbed.
"I'm sorry, Liya, but you are simply too... fat" said Tenshi, who was unable to carry Liya's entire weight on his back.
Liya cocked her adorable head, wondering what was funny to Tenshi.
Tenshi blinked and answered, "Right… you don't know any earthly jokes about... women."
Tenshi has been practicing with Liya's heavy head, which weighs a lot. He was aware that Liya might easily topple him because of her growth; she was now almost his size.
Liya puffed her chest and let out a "RAWW," flapping her enormous wings to demonstrate her might.
Tenshi turned his head away from Liya, whose wings were creating strong breezes.
He was aware that Liya was far more powerful than him, yet he was magically superior to her. Sadly, he is not familiar with magic.
"I am aware of this. You're more powerful than I am. But in my opinion, the intellect is limitless and the strength is not." Tenshi spoke while putting on a chunibyo persona.
Shaking her head, Liya replied "Powew… etewnan… unwimited pawweww!!!" (Power.. Eternal… Unlimited Power)
Tenshi was delighted to hear Liya speak. Clapping enthusiastically, he said "YES!!! Haha… Power is Eternal!!!"
Tenshi was thrilled that Liya was listening to his ramblings, in which he occasionally talks to himself. He enjoys performing skits about Star Wars and Marvel to prevent himself from going insane.
He didn't enjoy fantasy, but he watched it with Virginia. He didn't like them at first since they took away from the immersion, but as our buddy Barney the Titan once said, reality is often disappointing.
Tenshi, who was considering some chicken wings, stated, "Mmmm... we are going to hunt the demonic chicken we found."
Tenshi found eating fish and Imps to be monotonous now.
Tenshi and Liya were startled by the sound of a man-like cry, "AAAAAAAA."
While Liya hissed, Tenshi sprang to his feet and seized his bonehead spear.
Liya soared to the skies to observe what was occurring when Tenshi said, "You know what to do girl."
Tenshi closed his eyes as he felt his "connection" with Liya, and then all of a sudden he was met with a vision from the skies.
Tenshi worked to expand his power as much as he could, so he stopped seeing random things in the corpses. Now he can extract precise memories from a living being. Even though he did his best, he was never able to predict someone's future.
He observed someone via Liya's eyes. Large demonic wasps were chasing a mummified body.
"Can you kill them?" After spotting five wasps, Tenshi questioned Liya.
The fact that he was interacting with a "human" for the first time made him willing to risk, for the chance of learning something from him or her.
Liya swooped down and snatched one wasp while slamming another one with her body.
Liya roared as she smashed the wasp in her mouth, drenching her in blood and increasing her power.
The wasps shuddered at the sight of Liya, but Liya didn't allow them time to react before she launched herself and used her claw to assault and mutilate the third wasp.
The fourth and fifth wasps opted to flee when they realized what was happening.
Liya flung herself at the fourth one and grasped its neck since she was faster and stronger than them. Liya then turned to face it and opened her mouth.
In her mouth, a blue ball began to form. When the blue orb finally launched toward the fifth wasp and detonated, it seemed to take only a split second.
'GOAL!' Tenshi let out a childlike cry.
Tenshi was a little envious that Liya could use magic but he could not, and when he inquired how Liya did it, all he got in response was a "instinct."
"Don't bring him to the cave; instead, take him to the lake." Tenshi commented as he began getting ready to meet his "person."
…
When Tenshi arrived, he discovered the adult guy looked mummified. He was naked and had skin that nearly appeared scorched or cooked. He was also quite thin.
Tenshi nodded to Liya while aiming his spear towards the target's neck.
Then Liya flew close to the lake and fluttered her wings, causing some water to fall on the man's face and waking him up.
"I DID IT!" The man immediately punched the air and screamed.
The man felt a sharp tip on his neck and asked, "Huh?" in a bewildered tone.
"O Satan" The man yelled as he turned to face Tenshi.
Naturally taken aback by the man's response, Tenshi said, "Who... are you?"
The man looked perplexed. Tenshi cringed as the man lifted his hands and massaged his eyeballs since he lacked eyelashes.
"H-Human? A-A....Alive?" The man stuttered what he said.
Given that a person like Tenshi cannot possibly enter Hell while still alive, Tenshi can assume what the person is thinking.
Tenshi poked him with his spear and said, "Yes. Now answer me or I'll kill you."
He then chuckled, saying, "Haha... I hoped for that... Death for the condemned doesn't exist here. Only demons can kill us Hahaha"
Tenshi was perplexed by this; he had no idea what this individual was talking about.
"Explain" Tenshi exclaimed.
"All right, all right. Although it won't kill me, having a hole in your throat is still a pain in the ass. Can I sit?" Inquired the guy.
As he sat down, the man turned to face his side.
Upon witnessing Liya, the guy yelled, "WHAT THE SATAN!!!"
When Tenshi struck him with the spear's handle, the guy turned to face him and said, "WHAT IS A LEVIATHAN DOING HERE?"
"Be quiet. Liya is her name, and that is all you will learn about her. Now, tell me who you are and how you got here," Tenshi stated sternly. He had not interacted with anyone for some time, so his tolerance was wearing thin.
"That is if you tell me how you got here," the man added after taking a gulp and turning to face Tenshi.
Tenshi nodded, realizing it wasn't much of a secret and that it was obvious he wouldn't tell anybody about Samuel and his abilities.
"Mmmm… Catherine Ward is my name. I passed away and went to Hell. I was taken to the second tier of Hell, Lust, after landing there... where you are caught in a tornado whirlpool and are continually bashed to pointed rocks and, of course, once in a while dive in River Styx, a hot boiling river of blood... I planned an escape for a long and ultimately left after finding the ideal chance," the guy stated.
Tenshi nodded his head, thinking, 'A boiling river of blood and the second layer of Hell is named Lust, where lusty sinners suffer. Catherine, it appears... Huh? ... wait'
"Are you a man or woman?" Tenshi inquired while masking his anxiety.
"In the Lust Layer, you are punished by having your gender altered. I used to be a lady, but now I'm a guy. Since I've grown used to being a man for a while, you can address me as 'He'" stated Ward.
Ward laughed as Tenshi distanced from him while continuing to aim his spear at his neck.
Ward said, "Now it's your turn."
"Well... I was flying when a thunderstorm arrived, and somehow I crashed and woke up here." Tenshi explained.
Tenshi then added, to make sure he wasn't lying, "If you don't believe me, there is the wreckage of my plane nearby."
"Don't worry, I trust you. No damned soul can tell a lie. However, you didn't encounter those strange beings dressed in robes to lead you to your punishment, so you must have been teleported here." Ward stated while grinning
Ward then burst out laughing and shouted, "Hahaha... that was you... I was able to escape because of you, hehe."
Since he was perplexed, Tenshi enquired, "Can you explain?"
Ward stopped laughing and stated, "I don't remember the time... but a while back, the entire Hell shook... producing numerous breaks and turmoil. Practically all of the higher-ups are looking for a cause... So the patrols were modified, and the penalty system was temporarily suspended."
Tenshi gets anxious after hearing the news. He knows that nearly everyone is looking for him and that an army of demons or a strong demon would eventually find him.
"C-Can you explain how Hell works?"
