Hell Inn: Rebirth - I Became a Chef in Hell

Chapter 204 When Anger Resounds - S01E06

The Dragon Girl's usually expressionless face was now being torn apart by her anger.

Her words were vicious, and she recklessly showered the angels in the temple with terrifying descriptions of "exquisite beauty."

...but her eyes never left the holy light at the very top.

Yes, she no longer looks at the six-winged archangel sitting at the top.

Just as she knew who she was confronting at this very moment.

"Before you order the guards to remove me, can you answer my question?"

“If you have your own set of tolerance for truly evil people, then fine! I have another set of arguments.”

"I want to know, what about the people who are raped and murdered? What should they do?"

"Who will settle their scores? Or should you tell them that those who hurt them are still indulging in debauchery in hell, enjoying themselves to heaven?"

The dragon girl, undeterred by the angels' doubts and reproaches, appeared even angrier than before.

■■■Like a mountain that will continue to expand, standing tall and proud.

Her golden eyes, saturated with hatred and rage, swept over the angels in the stands with a defiant air, carrying the emotions of millions of desperate humans.

Sila did not speak.

She seemed to be thinking, or perhaps considering how to properly answer the dragon girl's question.

"What, does God not tell them these things because they are just the souls of ordinary humans, or because they are not God?"

"Why can't you answer? Is it because your superiors, or because your laws didn't teach you these things?"

"If I don't offer a solution, which of my questions can you answer?"

"...Is it because you just want to take the easy way out and get rid of the person who raised this question?"

"Or--"

"The complex lives of billions of people... are all their emotions, their suffering, and even their experiences merely a simple outcome to you!?"

As a tiny deity born from human desires, gazing upon the holy light of the heavens.

Her hands trembled uncontrollably amidst her uncontrollable rage.

Perhaps she never imagined that the lives she loved so deeply would be hastily sentenced to their end in the eyes of the Supreme Being with just a few words.

All human suffering is so insignificant and simple in the eyes of the gods.

The thought that the life she loved would end with such a simple judgment and cruel punishment made the Dragon Girl feel as if her heart had been trampled on.

Her power stemmed from humanity's anger at injustice and from the roar of despair.

Because hatred and death are so intense, the whispers of every soul yearning for love are so deafening.

Because she was once human, she understood far better than any law enforcement officer that humans cannot be simply defined by "justice" and "evil".

But after hearing the angels' words, ■■■ only felt…

Everything was so ridiculous.

You failed to get justice for your two girls because all you received in response was silence and rejection from public officials.

Your eyes are no longer fixed on that archangel who acts like a customer service representative, "doing business as if it were nothing," "knowing nothing," and "only knowing how to act impartially."

Your eyes are looking towards higher places.

But there was nothing there.

...Just like your unfulfilled rage.

“Law enforcement officers from afar, we can feel your anger.”

"But as a law enforcer, you should understand this better than anyone else... Only through devotion to good can the soul be redeemed."

Suddenly, Xira, whose attitude had inexplicably softened, spoke softly to the dragon girl from above the temple, offering these words of comfort.

She placed her right hand on her heart, her expression gentle, caring, and loving, like a holy mother who would appear in a church stained glass window.

"Oh, so now I'm the one who's being unreasonable and throwing a tantrum in public!?"

■■■, whose eyes had widened in anger at the six-winged angel's display, suddenly laughed.

She deliberately mimicked the other person's gesture, placing her hand on her heart, and said sarcastically, "Because of my tough attitude, you think you can soften your stance and make yourself look like a victim?"

"Is your next step to continue making all bystanders think I'm being unreasonable by using the argument that 'outsiders are being rude on your turf'?"

"Let's clarify why I'm here!"

"I am here because the Princess of Hell has been treated unfairly here!"

"You have no idea why people go to heaven, yet you have the audacity to think that everyone who goes to hell is an unforgivable villain!"

"You don't want to see rules and regulations that flatter and firmly believe in the truth—"

"I don't want to hear any other sounds!"

"In your own home, you sang your damn 'righteous anthem' at the two girls I was invited to! And then you even tried to drive them, who were all alone and helpless, out of heaven!!"

"And now, when a law enforcement officer you can't get rid of appears and shows you his doubts and anger..."

"You're only now willing to treat me with courtesy?!"

At first, the dragon girl's horns were only burning from the base; but after she roared those words at the sky, her horns suddenly became as dazzling and hot as if they had been quenched by fire!

Facing the silent summit of the temple, she stubbornly and defiantly held her head high.

The tattered red cloak behind the Eastern enforcer resembled a river of blood flowing for millennia, meandering behind her.

The jet-black yet gleaming tail armor rustles and rattles with each furious lash of the dragon girl's tail, like countless iron-winged eagles flapping their wings in the air.

"You want to hear the most devout prayers?! Then go to the hospital!"

"Have you ever heard the cries of people when their loved ones die, the despair of being powerless to change anything, or the forced maturity of growing up?"

"When the rich are popping champagne in their opulent fortresses!"

"When humanity is impoverished, and their homes are destroyed by disaster, leaving them only able to stare blankly at a stain in a leaky tent, helplessly hoping for a bleak tomorrow!"

"When humans use their money to steal hope from others!"

"When humanity is forced to steal, rob, kill, and fight for love!!!"

"The complex human soul, and everything they experience!"

"All of this... actually needs to be judged by a cold, inanimate place—"

"Let a bunch of guys who have upheld this unjust law for thousands of years make the judgment!?"

"So, all of you here actually want to discipline a life that can only survive through constant struggle, and even want to judge it?"

"So much suffering and so many unfair starting points, and in the end, all you say is a simple verdict?!"

"Your heartless final verdict has nothing to do with human good and evil!"

"You condescending people who judge others are far more disgusting than sinful humans..."

"It's so...it makes me want to throw up!"
