Hoozuki no Reitetsu 2nd Season: Sono Ni

Mom, hey, it's me.

So, about my company's money...

Yeah, that's right...

I'm in a real bind.

Pretending to be someone's relative

in order to swindle them...!

The Offices of Enma hereby sentence you

to the Realm of Dead Hope!

Alright, that concludes the study tour of the trial.

Were you able to take some notes?

Yes, sir!

Taking notes is essential.

Yes, sir!

They've really grown, haven't they?

It's the same with any group of newcomers,

but each year I'm filled with emotion...

Before I even know it... they've grown.

Next, it's time to get ready

for the employment examination!

We're gonna do this quickly!

Yes, sir!

The Day-to-Day at the Offices of Enma

So we're holding another employment examination...

The dead never stop arriving, after all.

Hell is always understaffed.

How true. Day after day we're so busy,

I'd take any help we can get.

Mr. Hozuki, it's about time for the interviews.

Off you go now, Hozuki.

Okay.

U-um... What's with his huge cat...?

This is a stress interview.

I don't think this is the correct meaning of "stress,"

but I'll keep quiet because

I don't want to hurt my chances of a job offer.

I'm Kasha, you see. By nature, I'm a monster cat

who eats corpses found in the Mundane World.

I was a fiend who'd find a funeral, set my sights

on its procession, and then head straight for it.

A cat in full fling.

But, as you can see, I'm working in Hell now.

KASHA

HOZUKI

STRIPPING

HAG

He's a veteran of the Welcoming Committee.

To start out, I wanted to see how startled you'd be

when confronted with this unusual situation.

Well then, let's begin the interview.

What department would you like to be appointed to

and what kind of job would you like to do there?

Well, I'd like to work as a torturer in Repeated Lives Hell.

There are many dead who've received

the lightest sentence and ended up there,

so I think it's a job worth doing.

Seems he's got some basic knowledge.

Well, I suppose I'm impressed.

ZASHIKI

WARASHI

Write, write, write, write...

Yeah.

And what kind of instrument of torture

would you like to use?

MUSTARD

Sniff, sniff, sniff...

What's this smell?

That man already has a weapon, you know.

Will you show it to me?

Of course!

I would like to use...

this homemade device

for automatically cutting nails to the quick!

The position is yours.

You sure that's a good move?

That guy's a real idiot, you know.

A fine line separates idiots from geniuses.

Does that mean it's advantageous to employ idiots?

Not at all, but complete idiots are not to be trifled with.

WAITING

ROOM

Next person, please.

From serving tea to giving shoulder rubs, I'll do whatever!

Trying to deceive with her looks like that...

What a shameless woman.

It's fine. Mortal Hell is in dire need

of a beautiful woman, you see.

PASS

So employing people

based on their appearance is a thing, huh?

WAITING

ROOM

Next person, please.

My hobbies are reading and bonsai.

You've got a scary face, so I'll employ you.

You sure about that? He said "bonsai," you know?

Once again employing someone

based on their appearance, huh?

ZASHIKI

WARASHI

Write, write, write, write...

The hell minion animals are next, huh?

Yes.

Animals can't tout their cuteness, okay?

He won't be paying attention to that, so just act naturally.

You really can't help putting on

a senpai-like air, can you?

Oh? Me? Well, I was head hunted away

from my previous position, after all.

That was just regular mid-career recruitment.

Dogs of hell, even if it's just an act,

show your canine teeth, slobber,

and really play up your feral side, alright?

Shiro, there's no need to be feeding them

that kind of information beforehand.

Ah, Mr. Hozuki!

Everyone, please just act naturally.

That said, I suppose that might be difficult now,

so please bite down on this pressure measurement film.

If you demonstrate sufficient jaw strength

and show purpose in your eyes, I'll employ you.

Based on those criteria,

wouldn't you be better off employing a shark?

Or perhaps a Nile crocodile.

STRIPPING

HAG

This is the famous rabbit from Crackling Mountain.

I'm a Hell minion now.

MUSTARD

If you were to take revenge against

your most hated adversary, what would you do?

I'd imprison them in somewhere dark and smelly,

and I'd let them out 24 hours after they start groaning.

Then I'd intently stare into their eyes.

KASHA

HOZUKI

HAG

He clearly had someone in mind...

What happened between the two of them?

Seems pretty deep-seated, huh?

I rather like it.

I'll employ you.

PASS

Huh?

If you have any questions, I'll answer them.

I heard that the Offices of Enma

are a rather unforgiving place,

so I suppose the fact you've selected me,

came as a surprise...

It's after you join up, that it becomes unforgiving...

HOZUKI

MUSTARD

STRIPPING

HAG

Moreso than the Offices of Enma being unforgiving...

...is this man here.

Meow-ha!

It is my duty to put the right person in the right post,

so don't you worry about that.

Karauri, Nasubi, please see

to guiding this year's newcomers.

Okay!

Sure!

Sure!

Good morning.

Mornin'!

Good morning!

You will now clean the courtroom.

After that, you'll head to the records department

and receive today's allotment of documents.

You'll put those on Mr. Hozuki's desk -

oh, and don't place them there all haphazardly.

Caramel... Heavenly.

Line up all the corners of the documents
