Cirno blinked. She was sitting in a weird place. A fairly dark place.
"Where am I?" Cirno asked.
The light appeared and showed two people in a room. Cirno noticed a girl with ponytails carrying a scythe, and a green-haired girl wearing a dark dress and a weird sharp hat. Also holding a piece of wood.
"Dear Cirno, your time in life is up." Eiki raised the rod of remorse to her lips. "Welcome to Hell."
"Welcome welcome!" Komachi said.
"I'm… dead." Cirno looked around. It was dark. Is this the afterlife? "No, no! That's impossible! What's the meaning of this?"
Eiki Shiki looked into a handheld mirror. "Let's see. You have done your duty well as an ice fairy, which is regulating the temperature around the lake. However, you often provoke other youkai and beings to fight you. Pulling pranks on innocent people is a sin, though understandable for fairies with childish minds. Still, it would have been better if you think more about other people's lives and how your actions disrupt others."
"I'm not a child!"
"Overall, you are not sinful." Eiki taps her wooden rod to the table. "There are some of your personalities, however, that is troublesome."
Cirno pouted. Why does she have to listen when she was dead? How did she, even...?
"You should learn to show some respect and be humble with your friends. People you meet will appreciate your modesty. Also, your confidence in your power is a good thing, but powerful you are, you should remember that you are not the strongest nor the weakest. You can defeat even stronger opponents than you. Weaker opponents can also defeat you. Power is not the only factor to determine the battle result."
Cirno yawned. Komachi yawned too.
"One thing that has always stop you from improving is your own arrogance and pride. Remember that," Eiki said. "Have you noticed your power growing stronger?"
"I do!"
"It is because you have done many things normal fairies wouldn't have done, such as studying and training. You were also involved in some incidents. If you keep going in this direction, even your own species would betray you."
"Uhh…"
"Meaning that you could lose your regenerative ability. And if you are acting the way you are now, your friends would leave you one by one. You wouldn't want to be alone in the state of no return, would you?"
Cirno tilted her head. "... I thought I'm dead."
"Nah," Komachi said. "It was a prank someone pulled on you. We're requested."
"What?!" Cirno looked around. It was a dark room. She didn't know where this place was, but it was not in hell for sure. "Those fairies? Random haters? Who planned this?!" Cirno thought for a moment and decided it didn't matter. "Oh right! I can't die! I'm invincible of course!"
"Death might not be so far away as you think, Cirno. You shouldn't be so careless." Eiki waved to her subordinate Komachi. "Escort her back to her home… Consider yourself lucky to hear this sentence. You're dismissed."
