Chapter 32:

They whispered for nothing

Lost tales: The Day I Saw a God


Chapter 32


Ban replies to him :Phew"

Ban thought to himself after saying that [I guess we somehow will live without entering hell for this time around] 

Natsumi remembers what she was talking about a few minutes ago with Light. Natsumi didn't understand why he(Ban) was lying to him(Light) about not remembering how she disrespected him(Light). She clearly knew that Ban was lying just by looking at his face. She couldn't understand what he(Ban) was so afraid of that he(Ban) lied to him(Light). She naturally got curious over that. Even though she didn't exactly like that torture chamber full of his(Light) picture but it was way better than all the other version of hell she heard, listen and thought when she was alive. The hell she knows of currently isn't as scary, painful and full of despair as she thought it will be in her life. 

She gets a bit close to him(Ban) and whispers to his(Ban) ear quietly :"Why did you lied to him?"

Ban hears what she said and replies to her quietly :"I was afraid. Because he remembers he could have thrown us into the hell. I somehow could have manage to run away from there but, you wouldn't be able to run away or escape from there."
Natsumi didn't understand why she wouldn't be able to escape from that lame, creepy, despair less hell. Though she knew it will be hard and it may be a little bit painful at the beginning in that hell but isn't as hellish as those in the mythology

Natsumi asks him again whispering into his ears :"Why can't I escape from that creepy, lame and boring hell? Even by some chance that puny little hell of his, is capable of having high security so I can't run away from it. Then why shouldn't you be able to help me from escaping that hell? Or is it that there are many different hell separated from each other?"

Ban after hearing that he understands that she is misunderstanding about something. So he replies to her quietly :"Hell is not only that little room that you are thought of. It's not just a torture chamber."

She replies to him by whispering :"I know that already. There is just no way that the God who created all of us will only make hell with just one room. That's the God who created us we are talking about, you know?"

He was a bit happy hearing that. Hearing that she starts to see Light for what he actually is.
He replies to her quietly :"That's the reason. He is the God who created us all. He created everything in our world and not only on our world but all the other worlds. He didn't just create some pictures and recordings of himself and distributed all over hell. It's only in that one room. Hell is just like what you heard of it. If I have to give opinion, I would say it's worse than that. It's a place full of all the monster you could have imagined, read or watch. There are even more type of monsters you could think of."

After he(Ban) said that to her she thought to herself [Isn't that the same as that world that existed beyond one of those gates?] 

While she was thinking that he(Ban) continues :"There is no path of air or even a path of light in there."

Natsumi blurted out this word from her mouth :"light?"

Ban replies to her quietly :"It's like the light that comes from the Sun and bulb. It's not the God Light who created us. That place is completely filled in darkness without a single ray of light inside of it. Even if your eyes are open you would only see darkness in there. There are also many other dangerous, creepy and painful thing in hell. The hell guardian, the three headed dog, Cerberus, the angel of death, Anubis, a giant spider that eats your brain, zombie like thing that eat you in everyway possible, the burning flame that exists in hell Rudra. Even a tiny little bit of that flame is more hotter than the sun and is capable of burning the entire Earth.  They are many other dangerous and painful thing that exists in hell. Since he is the supreme God he have full control over there and I don't have the authority and enough power to let you escape from hell if you are ever thrown in there."

Natsumi shivers. She could feel that she had a goosebumps in her entire body. She replies to him(Ban) quietly :"So he isn't as idiot as I thought he is. He didn't make hell only just a gallery of himself but way worse. I have taken hell lightly." 

Ban smiles at her and replies to her quietly :"You are starting to get why I respect him. Even though you are right. He is an airhead, an idiot and have a diverse kind of personality. But not only that but he have a enormous power."

Natsumi replies to him(Ban) quietly :"I finally understand why you were lying to him. That you don't remember what we were talking about earlier. You were trying to protect me from going to hell. If I had continued behaving like that and talking like that to him. I would be in hell by now." 

She starts shivering after saying that. She holds both of her shoulder by both of her hand while shivering.

Ban tries to calm her down. So he(Ban) replies to her quietly :"Don't worry. You won't go to hell because he somehow forget about it. So you don't have to worry about going to hell. For now at least. If you made him angry again I don't think you can use the same trick as changing the subject or let him forget about that the same way one more time. Even if you could do it. It would be pretty hard."

Natsumi calms down a bit after hearing that. She was relieved. She replies to him(Ban) quietly :"I guess you are right. At least, I am safe for now." 

She stops shivering and puts both of her hands down from her shoulder. Though she was still afraid of hell. By how dangerous and painful it will be if she lived there or thrown into there. Though she is relieved for now for not getting into hell and it can be seen by anyone just by looking at her eyes.

In front of them Light was still standing. He saw them whispering to themselves. He wasn't able to hear it. They were whispering as if he wasn't here. He(Light) didn't try to read there mind or hear it with his godly ears. 

Cause he(Light) thought to himself [Should I hear what they are whispering all about with my godly ear? No, no. I shouldn't do it. If I do it, the reason that they are whispering to each other will be for nothing. It's just them whispering about some stupid thing. They will get easily. It will be just a simple dialogue or more...... It might take a minute or two. I shall wait untill they stop whispering.] 

So as he(Light) thought he(Light)waited for them until they finished whispering to each other. But they were whispering to each other for more than a minute. He(Light) was starting to get really bored because of that.

He(Light) thought to himself [Maybe they even forgot that I still exists in here. What exactly are they even whispering about???.]

After he(Light) thought that Light asks them:"What are you guys whispering all about? It's been more than a few minutes." 

He(Light) asks them that right after Natsumi whispers to Ban that she is at least fine for now.

Both of them was startled hearing that from him. Ban replies to him :"It's nothing important." He then laughed it off

Light gets suspicious after hearing that. He(Light) looks at him(Ban) and asks him angrily :"Then why it took that much time?"

Ban thought to himself [We only just talked, not even talked, just whispered to each other for about two or three minutes. How can it be so much time??]

Ban then replies to him :"She was whispering to me if I really didn't know about that room in hell. And I said no. I also told her that hell is very dangerous, creepy and scary place of painful places and thing. That's why it took that much time. Explaining things takes time."

Light fully didn't believe in him cause it kind of seemed like a lie to him. So he(Light) asks her to be sure :"Is he telling the truth, Natsumi?"

Natsumi knew if she didn't tell him that he said the truth than both of them will have punishment or will be thrown into hell. 

So she replies to him(Light) :"Yes he is telling the truth." 

Even though it isn't that much different from what they actually talked about. Moreover he(Ban) really did talk about Hell. It seems as if they forgot about it. They were whispering so they won't go to hell. But they themselves told it to him.
