To the cheerful tune of "Bink's Sake," the group had arrived at the opposite bank of the Acheron River by boat. Charon shouted to the group below:
"Alright everyone, we have reached our destination."
Hearing Charon's words, everyone snapped out of the cheerful music and stepped off the boat one after another.
"By the way, Benniah, catch this," Charon called out to Benniah, tossing a scroll to her.
"Grandpa Charon, what is this?" Benniah asked, looking at Charon in confusion while holding the scroll.
Charon explained, "That is a map of the underworld. The current underworld is different from what you used to know. Starting from the Acheron River, it is now divided into various parts such as the Eight Prisons, Three Valleys, Ten Trenches, and Four Circles. Each part has its own Specters and Guardian Dragon in charge. This map will help you understand the situation."
"Thank you, Lord Charon," Sirzechs said, looking toward Charon to express his gratitude.
Charon waved his hand and said, "Don't be so quick to thank me. I'm just following the rules. Next up, that kid Lune at the First Prison won't be so easy to talk to."
"Goodbye, everyone," Charon said with a wave, then steered the ferry and left with his subordinates.
Afterward, the group ran up the long stone steps and arrived before the First Prison. A magnificent white marble building stood tall, with a stone tablet above the door engraved with Ancient Greek characters.
"What is this place?" Rias asked.
Benniah opened the underworld map given by Charon, looked at the location of the First Prison, and said, "First Prison · Underworld Judgment Tribunal, the court that judges the dead. Even a lie will be seen through instantly."
"So it's a courtroom. No wonder the whole place exudes such a serious atmosphere," Himejima Akeno said, looking at the words on the stone tablet above the door.
"You've arrived, and there are quite a few of you dead ones," at that moment, a dwarf ghost soldier wearing underworld armor stepped out from behind a pillar and spoke, though his voice was quite low.
Saji walked over and said to the dwarf ghost soldier, "Why are you speaking so quietly? Please speak to us in a normal voice."
"Yeah, exactly," the hot-tempered Tsubasa Yura also stepped forward to chime in.
Hearing the voices of Tsubasa Yura and Saji, the dwarf ghost soldier immediately became flustered. He hurriedly made a shushing gesture and whispered:
"Shhh, shhh! Keep your voices down! Lord Lune, the Great Justice here, hates annoying noise the most. You must be quiet once you enter and recount the sins you committed in life in detail."
After saying that, the dwarf ghost soldier walked to the doors of the tribunal, slowly opened them for everyone, and then waved for them to hurry inside.
Subsequently, under the urging of the dwarf ghost soldier, everyone walked into the tribunal.
The group quickly looked around at the environment inside the tribunal and began to speak:
"It looks just like an ordinary courtroom."
"I thought the underworld's courtroom would be surrounded by the wails of the dead."
"..."
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang——!!!
While everyone was discussing, the sound of a gavel rang out. Everyone was drawn to the sound and looked up to see a handsome white-haired man wearing dark robes, holding a gavel and sitting on a high judge's chair. It seemed he was the administrator here, Lune, looking down at the crowd with a stern expression.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang——!!!
Lune struck the gavel and looked at the crowd below with a serious face, saying, "Quiet, quiet, quiet! This is the Underworld Judgment Tribunal, not a vegetable market. This is a sacred place that decides which hell you should go to. Please be quiet."
'It seems this guy really hates noise,' the group couldn't help but think after hearing Lune's statement.
After speaking, Lune took out a thick, large book and said, "Alright, state your names. It's useless even if you lie, because everything is written in this book of the underworld. Everything in the world is in this book."
"Is this the legendary Register of Life and Death?" Monkey King couldn't help but ask.
Afterward, everyone began to state their names one by one.
Lune flipped through the pages one by one, checking the names on each page. During the process, Lune stroked his chin and said with a strange expression:
"Strange, why are most of your names not recorded in the book?"
"It seems that the section of that book regarding criminals is only recorded after Death," Michael whispered into the ears of Sirzechs and Azazel.
"That seems to be correct."
"But does that book really have everything written in it?"
Sirzechs and Azazel expressed their respective opinions.
Finally, Lune found names recorded in the book of the underworld and tapped on the names in the book, saying, "Found them: Issei Hyoudou, Asia Argento."
"Ah (Eh)!?" The two whose names were called both opened their mouths wide and cried out in shock.
"Wait! We're dead!!" Issei Hyoudou stepped forward and said loudly.
Lune held the book of the underworld and read according to the content: "Issei Hyoudou, born into an ordinary commoner family. His parents had two pregnancies before this that were unsuccessful, but finally saved the child on the third pregnancy. As a child, he often heard various stories about female breasts from strange uncles on the street, which led him to develop an extreme fetish for breasts."
"Starting from this incident, he began to harass women multiple times, with the most severe cases occurring during high school."
"Finally, he was killed by the fallen angel Raynare."
After hearing this, Issei Hyoudou couldn't help but swallow hard, cold sweat pouring down his head. After a moment of daze, he spoke up:
"How is even that incident from my childhood recorded?"
Hearing Issei Hyoudou's words, everyone was inwardly shocked, confirming the power of the book of the underworld in Lune's hands.
Afterward, Lune stood up, looked at Issei Hyoudou, and said, "Your final judgment is as follows: You are sentenced to fall into the Valley of the Pitch-Black Gale. Those who commit the sin of lust will suffer forever under the assault of violent winds. Once the sin of lust on your body is washed away, you will then fall into the First Valley · Blood Pool Hell."
Upon hearing Lune's judgment, Issei Hyoudou immediately explained, "Wait!! Lord Justice, but I'm still alive right now?! I shouldn't have to undergo the underworld judgment, right?!"
Hearing Issei Hyoudou's words, Lune checked the book of the underworld again. Seeing the key content, he muttered aloud:
"You were brought back to life using the Evil Pieces of a devil, but you have already died once—no, twice. Having experienced Death multiple times, you are already a wandering soul, so you should receive the judgment of the underworld."
"Are you not clear about your own crimes right now? Let me help you remember. Reincarnation!!" Lune said, while a strong purple Cosmo emanated from his body. He raised his right hand high, a powerful energy condensing in his palm, then extended his right hand toward Issei Hyoudou.
The purple light shone on Issei Hyoudou. He clutched his head in pain as he began to recall the sins he committed because of breasts, as well as his deeds of eliminating enemies after becoming a devil, all presented before everyone's eyes.
"Alright, it's time for you to go and receive your deserved punishment," Lune said, his white hair fluttering in the air, as he opened a passage beneath Issei Hyoudou's feet.
Aaaaaaaaaaaah——!!!
Issei Hyoudou fell down and let out a tragic scream. What awaited him was the suffering of being battered by violent winds and the pain of wind blades cutting his body.
"Boss!"
"Issei-kun!"
"Husband!"
"Darling!"
"Issei-senpai!"
"My Lord!"
Issei Hyoudou's harem and companions cried out in shock upon seeing him fall into the passage. They tried to pull him out of the hole, but it was too late; Issei Hyoudou had completely fallen in, and the passage closed immediately after.
"Alright, let's begin the next judgment." Having finished all this, Lune returned to his post and began the judgment of Asia.
