Chapter 27:

Her past-self's final wish

Lost tales: The Day I Saw a God


Chapter 27



Shortly after she thought that she look at Light and replies to Light :"I guess, I will not ask that question to Ban anymore."

Natsumi look at Ban to see if he is still feeling down. He was still feeling down.

She while looking at him she thought to herself [Even if he is feeling down, I am still curious. Also why is he looking like that? Did something happen on that world that he created or Did I say something wrong?] 

While midst her stream of thought she remembers that she told Light to not to talk to her or in front of her. That made her angry
Natsumi [Even though I told him to not to talk in front of me he still talked to me]

Natsumi replies to Light with angry voice :"I have told you to not to talk in front of me yet you still talks!!!!"

Light gets a tiny bit angry after he heard that and he yell at her :"If I didn't told you, you would have asked him again and again. Can't you see that by your eyes?!?!!"

Natsumi couldn't argue with his fair arguments. She realizes her mistake.

She replies to him :"I am sorry for that and I take back what I said to you. But still just why won't he reply to me? Did I said something wrong? Or is something bad happened on that world? I am curious."

Light's anger calms down. He asks her :"Do you remember that I told you that the human's once were immortal and the reason that they are not immortal anymore?"

Natsumi replies to his question :"Yes, I remember. You told me that right after I died and enters the place where there were all kinds of gate to another world."

Light smiles sits down on the table rather than the chair with one knee on top of the other leg and he puts both of his hands behind him and clings on to the table. 

He replies to her :"That place is called Dead's Choice because the dead people make the choice of ascending to heaven or reincarnated in another world. You can also call it gateway...... Am I forgetting something?"

She replies to him :"I don't know."

He remembers it after thinking fir sometime. He replies to her :"I remember. Also the thing I wanted to told you is because you are still remembering the past memory that you forgot, your current memory will be kinda hazy like you will be forgetful about what you will say or think now for sometime. That's kinda like the after effects of remembering the memory of the void."

Natsumi gets surprised after hearing that from Light. She thought to herself [So that's why I am forgetting some of the things that I said or the thought I had the very next second. Wait a minute, what was I thinking about again?]

Light continues his reply to her :"Don't worry, after a few minutes this side effects will be gone."

Natsumi had no clue about what he is talking about because of the side effects were still in her and she replies to him (Light) :"I see" 

Natsumi thought to herself after replying that to him [What was we talking about again?]

Ban stands up from the chair beside the table. Though he still had that downcast eyes looks. He slipped. Natsumi stands up to help but Light was beside him so he did it. He stands up and hold him up on his feet.

Ban says this to him :"It's ok. I am fine now."

He backs down a bit and lean on a wall.

Natsumi was still worried about how he is feeling. So she asks him (Ban) :"Are you feeling okay?"

Ban felt a bit of guilt because he didn't reply to her and rather went slient. He replies to her :"It's ok. I am fine now. Also I am sorry that I have gone slient and didn't answer to your question from before."

Natsumi feels guilty as she thought that it's her fault that he made his eyes downcast and was sad. Natsumi replies to him (Ban) :"No, no it's ok. It's my fault just asking you all the questions. There must be somethings you don't want people to know or answer them."

Light was surprised by this change of characteristics from Natsumi.

He thought to himself after hearing that reply from Natsumi [Oi!! Oi! Did you forget your characteristics? You are the person who asked me all of type of questions without stopping!!. And when I didn't give you an answer you got angry. And when my answer is not like the answer you wanted you gets depressed and gets more angry at me. And you are still angry at me. So what is this behaviour??!.]

Ban stretches both of his hands. After stretching his hands he puts down both of his hands. Both of his eyes turns to normal from the downcast eyes from before. He didn't look sad anymore. As if nothing happened to him.

He thrn seeks permission from her :"So should I answer your questions then?"

Natsumi replies to him (Ban) :"If you want to answer then you can answer. And also If you don't want to answer then you don't have to answer."

Ban replies to her :"Then I don't want to answer that question."

Natsumi replies to him (Ban) :"But I wanted to know it."

He replies to her :"I gave you the chances."

She replies to him :"There was something else that I wanted to ask from you."

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

Natsumi asks him (Ban) :"Did you rebel or argue with Light about death after coming here?"

Ban replies to her questions :"Yes. I did argue with him for making the mortal system at the beginning. It was a huge quarrel to be exact. It was very long and very long ago. I was angry at him because of that like a hundreds years."

Natsumi [Hundreds year?!!]

He continues :"That's why I created a world full of immortal humans."

Natsumi says to herself quietly :"As I thought."

Ban couldn't hear what she said but he saw that she was mumbling something. Out of curiosity Ban asks her about that :"What did you said? I couldn't hear it."

Natsumi was surprised. She was in her thought. She replies to him (Ban) :"It's nothing important."

Ban replies to her :"Then it's okay." 

Light clap his hands twice to gain the attention of both of them. They both looks at him. He gained the attention of both of them. But Natsumi looked at him with a angry stare. Natsumi even after remembering her lost memory she was still angry at him for making all the people died to have the pain of death and for all the people who felt pain after losing their loved one because of the death promised by the God called Light. He didn't like that stare at all.

Natsumi asks him (Light) with angry voice. While also staring at him with a angry looks at her eyes :"What do you wanna ask?"

Light felt disrespectful from that kind of attitude of her. He asks her :"Is that how you talk to your creator?"

Natsumi replies to him (Light) :"Yes. That's how I do."

Light was hurt. It hurts, his feelings. So he replies to her :"You didn't have to say that. It's cruel."

Natsumi didn't thought that he would said that and was a bit surprised. She then reply to him (Light) with a disappointed voice :"That's a shame. I thought it was more than cruel."

Ban didn't like how the conversation went and he was also getting bored

He replies to him (Light) with serious voice :"Light!! You are not someone who would clap his hands twice just to get someone's attention. You are that kind of person that jumps into other people's conversation to get attention."

Natsumi also agree with Ban's statement. Natsumi replies to him :"You are completely right. He is the kind of person who would done that."

Light didn't get angry or annoyed after hearing that from them rather a question arose with curiosity in his mind  [Just what kind of personality do you guys think I have?]

Ban asks him with a serious look on his eyes :"What is it you wanted to talk about?"

Light replies to him :"You don't have to be so serious. I was trying to tell you, Natsumi. Natsumi, do you remember what you wished for when you were in the void zero?"

Natsumi almost remembered everything perfectly and her memory became more and more clear and not hazy anymore. She remembers that

She replies to him (Light) :"Yes, that wish is concerned about my past-self's last wish that she or he couldn't do before she or he died."

Light replies to them :"That's what I wanted to talk about. The past-self version of you was a woman. Her last wish that she couldn't complete before her death was.... To help the people... To make there's long awaited dream to come true. To make them happy before they die. To see them die with no regrets and happily."

Natsumi was stunned by how great and kind heart her past-self had. She didn't expected at all that her past self would be a person with that great unfulfilled wish.

She thought to herself [I was a woman with a great heart in my human life. While I was trying to be as normal as people. Though I was richer than most of normal peoples. I won't call myself s great person but. My past self must have been a great person in her life.] 

A sudden curiousty of what kind of person she was in her past life arose in her. Natsumi asks him (Light) :"Just what kind of person I was? I mean what kind of person I was in my past lifetime?"
