Chapter 10


Somewhere in the city of London. A girl and a boy was in a alley of that city. They were standing. They were standing besides a wooden crate that was left in the alley. People were walking on the main road. That girl was Natsumi and the boy was Ban.

Ban was feeling tired. His face was bright red. He was sweating

He replies to her :"Ple....ase no mo....re"

Natsumi was standing behind him. She was laughing. Her face was also red. She was also sweating. 

She asks him with a evil smile on her face :"I am sorry. I didn't understand. What are you saying?" 

Though she heard him at the first time. Ban face gets even more red. He was taking some heavy breath. He closes his eyes.

Natsumi starts to move.

Ban replies to her "Don't move. I am gonna finish it.... I am done. I want to rest."

Natsumi sits down on the carton. 

She replies to him :''Okay. You can rest for a bit since you already made a full map of London in the ground with a your toenail. While I look at the pictures" 

Ban stops breathing heavily and consecutively. 

Ban replies to her :"Someone must have had the wrong idea about what we were doing"

Natsumi looks around cause she thought that somebody around them saw what they were doing. But she saw no people around them. Neither none was watching them from the top of the buildings in the alley. 

She asks him :"What are you talking about? Nobody is watching us."

Ban was talking about the people who are seeing and reading this on a safe distance. Not the people around them.

He said this to her :"It's nothing. It must've been my imagination."

Ban lies down on the ground. While he is taking a rest, she was seeing the pictures one by one. If she already saw the picture, she just throws them beside him. She took a picture of the Bermuda Triangle. It was written on the back of the pictures. The name of the place that picture was taken

She said this to him while looking at the picture of the Bermuda triangle :"I will never go in there ever again."

Ban takes a peek at the picture. He saw the picture of them in the Bermuda triangle.

He replies to her while lying down on the ground :"You are the one who wanted to go in there. You were begging me to make us go in there even though I told you that it was dangerous."

Natsumi replies to him :"Who would have thought there would be a giant kraken in there. You didn't even told me that." 
She throws that picture beside him right after she said that to him.

He replies to her :"I didn't told you that because that wasn't the biggest and the highest class of monster in there. But I told you about the fifteen thousand feet tall black dragon, Argon."

Natsumi tries to act dumb. She asks him :"Did you said that?"

Ban replies to her :"Yes"

She replies to him :"You know what! Let's go to Antarctica next."

Ban replies to her :"You can't survive with this outfit. It's too cold in there."

She asks him :"Really? Then give me a solution."

Ban creates a portal. Some very big jacket comes out from it. The jacket was bigger than both him and her combined. It was too oversized. The jacket almost looked like a blanket. She saw it and was unhappy. Since she thought that he is making fun of her

Natsumi looks at him and asks him with a unamused face :"Is this some kind of joke?"

He replies to her :"No"

She replies to him :"Then what is this giant blanket for?!"

It was really a blanket. It almost looked like a jacket from distance.

He replies to her :"Yes it's a blanket. I didn't give you the jacket cause it will take time and there is a chance that you will froze after a second in there with that."

She thought to herself [Then how can a blanket can save me then?] 
He continues :"Also you don't have much time to live. Just go with this."

She replies to him :"Okay then. I am going but I will remember this." 

Afterwards she wears that giant blanket all over herself. Ban creates a portal to Antarctica for her. Natsumi enters the portal. 

Natsumi asks him :"Won't you go with me?"

Ban replies to her :"Let me rest"

Natsumi replies to him :"Okay. But don't close the portal."

Ban replies to her :"Ok. Ok" 

He than closes his eyes and goes to sleep. She enters the portal. Five minutes later she comes out of the portal and she was almost frozen. 

She yells at him :"The blanket didn't help at all!!!!!"

Ban wakes up from his sleep. He looks at her and replies to her with a sleepy voice :"You 'yawns' came back."

Natsumi gets angry by his behavior and lack of interest. 

She yells at him with angry voice :"WHY ARE YOU SLEEPING?!! I almost died!!!"

Ban looks at her again after rubbing his eyes. Hd looks at her and saw that she is almost frozen. 

He was surprised after looking at her and replies to her :"You almost turned into ice!!!. Let me warm you up."

Ban creates a portal above her. She saw the portal above her. Hot water starts falling from up there. The places that got frozen in her body vaporized by the heat of the water in just a second. 

Ban asks her :"Are you warmed up now?"

Natsumi replies to him :"Yes" 

Though she was completely wet because of the water.

Ban replies to her :"Let me then answer you the reason you almost froze to death. Because it was -60°c there. Even if you took three giant blanket with you, you still would have gotten frozen."

Natsumi replies to him unamused face :"You should have told me that before going there."

Ban sits down on the nearby crate and replies to her :"I was resting"
She thought to herself [It would have just take a moment to say that]

Ban asks her :"There was something I wanted to ask you about"

Natsumi asks him :"What is it?" 
She thought to herself right after she said that to him [I hope it's not something stupid] 

Ban asks her :"Why did you believe in me?"

Natsumi said this :"Huh?"

She said it like that cause she couldn't hear what he said. Because some water entered her ears.

Ban asks her :"I told that why did you believe in me saying that you will die at that time?"

Natsumi listens to him this time. She replies to him :"Oh! Because you have shown me your power. Seeing your power made realizes that you could've killed me anytime with that power. Even now you could have killed me by giving me nothing to wear so I would freeze to death. You didn't even say a complaints or talk in angry manners even after I have been rude at you. I thought to myself after showed me your power why a guy with this power would make a joke about my death and waste his time on a girl he never talked to before. That doesn't make sense and then you told me that you are a messenger of God. Right after you said that I believed in you."

Ban replies to her :"That's some very large explanation. Still I didn't think you would be this kind of girl. That make people work for them if they find the chance."

Natsumi asks him with a irritated voice :"Is something wrong with that?"

He replies to her :''N-No it's perfectly fine. So what's your next wish?"

She replies to him :"Not sure but let's go back for once."

He replies to her :"I understand." 

He makes a portal. She enters it first. The portal leads her to a top of a building in Shibuya district. He also enters it.

She asks him :"How much time is left?"

Ban replies to her :"About ten minutes"

Natsumi was surprised by his reply. All the things that happened felt like only an hour to her. 

She replies to him :"10 minutes?!!"

Ban replies to her :"Yes. Only ten minutes."

Natsumi replies to him "That's a surprise. Let me think for a bit."

Ban replies to her like this :"This maybe your last wish, after all you don't have much time to left to live. I also have other works to do. So what will it be?"

Natsumi starts panicking by hearing that from him and she thought to herself [What am I gonna ask? I can't make him wait long also if I ask to go somewhere it will take time. What can I ask? I remember] 

Suddenly she remembered the dream she saw almost a weak ago. The old woman of that dream asking her to fulfill her dream. A dream that she didn't tell Natsumi.

Ban asks her :"So what are you gonna ask for your last wish?"

Natsumi replies to him :"I don't know what to wish for"

Ban thought that she is very nervous that it maybe her last wish that can be fulfilled. 

He replies to her :"Don't worry you can ask for multiple wishes if you want. Though I am not sure if I can fulfill it before you die."

Natsumi was still confused and puzzled what to wish for. She couldn't come up with any idea or any kind of wish she wants or something that the old woman wants. But she had a very strong desire for something. Something very precious to her.

She replies to him :"I.. I don't.. don't wanna die."

Ban was surprised and all he could say to her was this :"What?!"

Nine minutes left before she will die
