Chapter 7:

The Proof

Lost tales: The Day I Saw a God


Chapter 7

Natsumi wasn't only stunned and shocked, she was also angry at him as much she was shocked by hearing his answer.


She replies to him :"Stop telling me this crap"


That strange guy understands that no matter what he say unless he lets her see some kind of proof that he is saying the truth, she won't change her mind. He was a bit disappointed in her reaction. And tries to find an idea to make her believe in that. After thinking for sometime he finds it. 


He replies to her with disappointed tune :"I guess you won't believe in me after all. How about I do this then."


Natsumi gets curious about what possibly he could do. She was a bit scared of him. She thought that he might be a mad or crazy person.


She thought to herself [What kind of crazy thing he is gonna do with me?]


She asks him :"What are you going to do?"


That strange guy asks her :"Close your eyes"


Natsumi hears what he said and finds it kind of weird. She expected him to do something weird, but instead he asked for a simple thing. Just to close her eyes.


She asks him :"Close my eyes?"


He nods his head indicating that he meant to said that. She closes her eyes.


She asks him :"Okay, so what are you going to do now?"


He didn't reply to her question. 


She thought to herself while her eyes were closed [What will happen if I close my eyes. Don't tell me he is trying to do something weird me?!!!


Natsumi wasn't emotionally prepare for it. She wasn't even prepared for what he is going to do. She starts panicking.


She puts both of her hand in front of her and starts to wave them around. 


She said that to him while waving her hands around :"Wait! I am not prepared for this. I don't know what you're trying to do but don't do it! I don't even know your name! Even though you might know so many things about me."


That strange guy asks her lik:"What the hell are you talking about? I am not going to do anything weird."


She calms down a bit and stops waving her hands around. 


He continues :"It's fine now. You can open your eyes now."


Natsumi opens her eyes. Natsumi saw her house in front of herself. Natsumi sees around herself to be sure that she isn't hallucinating about seeing her house in front of her to see. She blinks a couple of time. She puts both of her around her hands on her eyes and rubs her eyes for sometime. She opens her eyes once again after rubbing them for sometime to see if it is really her house. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.


Natsumi ask him :"How? How is this possible? We were just in front of the restaurant.!"


That strange guy looks at her house and asks her :"Now, do you believe in me? I can do other things too"


Natsumi was so much shocked by what she was seeing that she couldn't hear what he said. 


She asks him while looking at her house :"How am I in front of my house!"


That strange guy ! looks at her and realizes that she didn't listen to what he just said now. 


He replies to her :"Listen to me at least"


Natsumi asks him again but with different question :"Am I seeing things? Am I going insane by some chance?"


Natsumi rubs her eyes once more. She again opens her eyes. She still saw her house in front of her. That strange guy thought she is overreacting a bit. It kinds of annoyed him.


That strange guy replies to her :"You are not seeing things!! This is indeed your home."


Natsumi looks at him and asks him :"But how is this even possible? Who are you exactly?"


That strange guy replies to her question :"I guess, I have to answer this question of yours. I am God's messenger."


She thought to herself [God's Messenger?!!]


She gets more and more amazed and shocked as the conversation goes.


That strange guy continues his reply to her :"Also my current name is Kazuya Nakamura. This name is just an alias in this earth. You can call me Ban if you want."


Natsumi asks him :"Ahem.. Then, Ban. What is the message from the God that you have been given?"


Ban already told her that multiple of time. And she didn't believe in him any time. He kinds of feels tired of telling the same thing over and over to her. 


He sighs and replies to her :"I have already told you that so many time. It's that you are going to die today and there is about 4 hours and 55 minutes left before you will die."


Natsumi gets scared. She gets fear. Sh finally believes in what he said for the first time after he told her the same thing so many times after he shown her proof. She gets down on the ground. She puts both of her hand in head. She was both scared and shaking in fear. 


She replies to him with scared tune :"No! I don't want to die yet. I couldn't even get to see eiffel tower"


Ban replies to her :"That's why I am here"


Natsumi asks him :"What will you do? Can you help me not to die?" 


She gets her hopes up.


Ban looks at her and replies to her :"I can't stop you from not dying. Though I will fulfill all your wishes so you can die without any regrets."


Natsumi gets surprised and happy hearing that.


She asks him :"All of my wishes really?"


Ban replies to her :"I am sorry, I lied. I can't fulfill all of your wishes. There are five wishes that I can't fulfill even if you wish for it."


Natsumi asks him :"What are those wishes?"


Ban replies to her :"They are:-


1. I can't make you a god or turn you into any other living beings.


2. If you want money you will get it but it won't be usable after your death. It will disappear right after your death if you don't wish for it to exists further than your death. If you wishes for it it will stay until the end of time.


3. I can't give you any type of power or magic.


4. I can't make you live any longer than your actual lifespan. Also you are going to die in the exact time you are supposed to die.


5. You can't have houses, buildings, pool , school, skyscraper or anything like that cause you will die shortly afterwards. If you really want a house or building than you can only use it on your lifetime. No other people or your family won't be able to see it or use it. It will disappear right after your death. Though only you and I are the only people who will be able to see that or use that.


But you can go to all kinds of different buildings, countries, cities and every places there is."


She was so amazed by his explanation. She looks at him with awe. 


Ban saw that and asks her :"Did you understand all that?"


Natsumi startles. She was totally amazed and surprised by that. She finds the explanation amazing.


She replies to him immediately :"Yes, I understand."


Ban puts his hand on his chest and bows down to her like a butler would do to his master. He looks at her while bowing down to her. 


He asks her :"Then what is your first wish? More likely your second wish. Cause you already wished for me to do your part time job for you."


Natsumi replies to him :"Before that I wanna ask something."


Ban asks her :"What do you want to know?"


Natsumi asks him :"Why are you so good with serving food and drinks? Have you been working in restaurants?"


Ban sighs. He feels disappointed on her. 


He replies to her like this :"I thought you are gonna ask me about something more serious." 


She replies to him :"Sorry, for not asking a serious question."


Ban replies to her:"Cause I have served other people before. So I know what type of service they would like."


Natsumi ask him :"I also want to ask another question."


Ban asks her :"What is it you wanna ask?"


Natsumi asks him :"Why did you teleport in front of my house? Like there are many other places"


Ban replies to her :"Cause I thought you would want to left a final message to your family before you die."


Natsumi feels a bit sad hearing that. She realizes that she already meet with her parents the last time and won't ever see them. She gets sad when she realized that. But she didn't try to make him teleport her in front of her parents while they are working. It would be a bother to them and they won't even believe in this kind of stuff. She tried to fake that she is sad by thought.


She replies to him cheerfully :"That's a nice idea! I should leave a message for them I guess. I also want to take a bath and eat something. You can wait for me in my house if you want."


Ban replies to her :"I guess, I can wait."


Afterwards they both went to her home. Natsumi goes to her room in the upper floor right after she enters the house. While Ban sit downs on the living room's ground and was waiting for her in the living room. While he was waiting in the living room Natsumi went to her bathroom and takes her bath. She wasn't only sad but happy by the fact he will fulfill most of her wishes. After she takes her bath she gets out from the bathroom after staying there for about fifteen minutes. She opens her closet while wearing her bathrobes.


Natsumi asks herself :"What should I wear?"


She takes a hanger of white shirt and black skirt out of the closet. She also takes a leggings.


Natsumi replies to herself :"I guess this will work but won't it make me look like a student. There are some new clothes too. Either way I am going to die there is no point in choosing, I guess."


As days goes it turns into night. Snow starts to fall as she was changing. While he was waiting downstairs
She thought to herself while looking at the night sky full of falling through her room's windows [Snow is falling. I guess I should take a jacket with me]


She takes a red women's jacket out of the closet and wears it on top of her shirt. Meanwhile Ban is waiting at the living room waiting for her. He was looking around the house.


He thought to himself [It's boring. Why am I waiting? I should leave and comeback when she comes down from her room.]


Right after he thought that he remembers something. Something a person told him very long ago.


A red haired woman said this to him in her deathbed :"Don't forget... About our promise"


He thought to himself [I guess I have to wait since she told me to wait. But I am bored what shall I do? Let's cook something. She must be hungry.]


As he thought that he stands up and goes to search for the kitchen. He walks and he found the kitchen besides the dining room. He goes to the kitchen. He didn't anything to cook. So he makes some portal and ingredients for his cooking starts to fall down from there. He prepares two fried eggs, a steak and black tea. He also took some loaf bread from the loaf bread packet without summoning them with his powers. He makes a sandwich with those. He also decorate the foods in the dining table in the dining room in the meantime. She gets fully changed and walks down the staircases on that time period. About thirty minutes passes while they entered this house.


4 hours and 30 minutes left before she will die
