Amari and I circled Sayuri, both of us extremely confused and irritated.
"Hey! DID YOU EXCPECTED ME TO SAY YES TO A RANDOM MAN ASKING TO MARRY ME!?"
I also shouted.
"AND WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT?! AND WHY EVERYBODY THINKS IM A KID!!"
Sayuri received too many questions, having to speak louder.
"C-CALM DOWN! V-LET'S GO PART BY PART!..."
She took a deep breath.
"Oh, you're not from this city, that explains your reaction to his proposal... I-Il explain that later... W-Wait."
Her eyes widened, as if we didn't know the most basic thing in the world, in shock.
"Y-YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT THE THE HISTORY OF THE MAN WHO FOUND GOD!?."
I and Amari looked at each other.
"Hm... no?"
Sayuri then yelled in suprised.
"W-WHAT-"
She quickly shut up herself, but couldn't believe what we were saying.
"Y-You dont know the legend of Neter Mate?! The man who managed to gather all the parts of the Divine Crown? The ex-Emperor of the World!?"
I was really confused, ready to say no, but Amari talked first quickly.
"N-NETER MATE?! THATS THE NAME OF MY GRANDPA!"
She grabbed me by the neck.
"Y-YOU REMEMBER KAI?! I TOLD YOU i HEARD SOME PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT HI-"
"F-Fine! BUT DON'T NEED TO HOLD ME!"
Sayuri looked confused at Amari.
"Y-Your grandpa?... But he never had children...DON'T YOU DARE TO MOCK HIM! THE GREATEST WIZARD OF THE HISTORY, WAS PART OF HIS CRE-"
I said excited.
"WOW AMARI!! YOUR GRANDPA WAS THE EMPEROR OF THE WORLD?! HE MET GOD?!-"
"I SAID IT WAS JUST PROBABLY A COINCIDENCE... They probably just had the same name..."
Sayuri then kept talking still not believing what we were talking about.
"H-How can you never heard of him!? Or the book, The History of The Man w
Who Found God!? Its not popular just in Pseudo, LITERALLY IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!!!"
But before we could say anything, we heard some people yelling.
"HEY COME HERE!!!" "YEAH LETS PARTY!!!"
We turned back, and it was the others Suiciders in a table waiting for us. Alll of them seemed very excited and happy, holding beers.
In the middle of them, there was Clown, sitting with his hands under his head, with a smirk.
Amari looked at Sayuri, kinda nervou.
"We should go?..."
"Yeah don't worry, the Suiciders who frequent the guild frequently are drunks who just like to party..."
They are the guys that hitted me yesterday, but I think they probably don't even remember...
"AH, AND ONE IMPORTANT THING!"
Sayuri said, making sure we we pay attention.
"I highly doubt that Clown really has that book, but if he has it... ACT SUPRISED LIKE IF HE COMMITTE A CRIME! BECAUSE HE LITERALLY DID!!"
"Whats so wrong about a book?"
"ANY MENTION OF THIS BOOK IS EXTREMELY PROHIBITED!! By all the countries around the world. This is literally a law that all countries follow, the only one. Neter Mate became known as "the enemy of all governments", mentioning him or the book is a big taboo!"
We both nodded, and went to towards the table were they were waiting for us.
There was around 30 people in just one table, all wanting to have fun.
"Hey the new Suiciders arrived!?"
"Oh wait, aint that guy who we spanked yesterday?!"
They looked at me, and confirmed the suspicions.
"ITS HIM!! HAHAHAHA!!"
"OH, THE ONE WHO SAID HE WANTED TO BE THE NEXT EMPEROR OF THE WORLD!!"
"HAHAHAHHA! YEAH THATS HIM!!"
And so, everybody there started to laughed, cheering up, driking and celebrating.
Not gonna lie, they made me quite embarrassed and angry.
"S-SHUT UP!! I-IM STILL GONNA BE IT!!!"
One of them putted his arm around my neck.
"Hey kid, say what you want haha... But hey, youre a Suicider now so your chances are real at least..."
He putted his cup close to my mouth.
"Wanna a drink?"
Amari came close to me.
"U-Uhm s-sorry sir, but he's still a minor..."
The man got very suprised.
"W-WHAT?! H-HE'S UNDER 13!? I thought he was young, but LESS THAN IT?!"
"N-NO, GODDAMIT, WHY EVERYBODY THINKS IM A KID?!′
Sayuri on the other side, asked someone.
"Hey uhh, can i get 2 beers?"
"Y-YOU'RE EVEN YOUNGER THAN HIM!!"
I think Amari forgot that people are considerated adults when they make 13.
While everyone was just having fun, driking (Amari even gave in and had a few drinks), something caught my attention.
Clown, was was just sitting, hands on the table holding his head, smiling looking at us.
He kinda scares me, he invited us just to watch? I thought he was going to have fun too.
Actually, no matter how much I look at him, I can't figure out what he's thinking or feeling.
Is he happy? Sad? I don't know, what he really wants or thinks?, everything is masked by that calm smile.
Honestly, he's starting to annoy me. He just invites us and then just sits there, silent, just watching?! No, I don't like that, why would he do that?!
So, i approached him and said.
"So hm, Clown... Can you tell me about that book of the guy who found god?"
The moment i said that, everyone there stopped enjoying the party and stared at me.
A great silence echoed throughout the guild, no one saying a word.
Some men said stuttering.
"W-What..."
"H-He just..."
Sayuri quickly ran towards me and grabbed my chest.
"Y-YOU IDIOT!! I TOLD YOU NO-"
But then, Clown giggled and said quiet loud, placing his hands behind his head.
"Oh my, oh my... How I like bold boys♡"
Everyone on the guild slowly looked at him, as he kept smirking and talking.
"Yeah, i can for sure, after all, I have a copy here."
From behind his back, he took out a small A5 sheet. A sheet containing something written on both sides.
"Well, the book is about the day the author met since Mate, untill the day the day Mate fulfilled his wish. I only got a copy of the final part, sorry, but that's what really matters, right?"
Everybody in the guild yelled terrified.
"W-WHAT?!"
"T-THE HISTORY OF A MAN WHO FOUND GOD?!
"H-HOW YOU EVEN HAVE THAT!?
"Hehe, Clown secret♡"
The people of the guild were visible nervous.
"T-Thats a crime what you're doing you know?!"
"Y-Yeah, we're going to report you to the royal family, a-and..."
Clown raised the paper between his 2 middle fingers, and began to wave it smiling.
"Oh but don't you want to read it?"
The Suiciders looked at each other, without knowing what to say.
"AH FUCK IT! I NEED TO SEE IT!!"
One man ran close to Clown, looking at the paper.
"Y-Yeah i don't care either!"
Another one.
Another one.
And another one.
After a short while, everyone was already around Clown, circling him.
"Hey hey, don't need to peek it, i will read it for everyone... Oh but of course, this will be our little secret, ok people?"
"Y-Yeah whatever... J-Just read it..."
"I always wondered what was Mate's whish..."
Apparently, curiosity dispelled the fear of being arrested, the fear of doing something supposedly wrong.
Amari, who was now at my side, said quiet suprised.
"I-I thought... S-Sayuri?!"
Sayuri was already around Clown too.
"You think i don't want to read it too?! Cmon, Sun World, the best wizard in history, was part of his crew, I NEED TO SEE!!"
Clown giggled.
"Oh my, oh my, the big Sayuri always curious as ever... Oh but, it seems our 2 friends here need some context, don't think they really know about who was Neter Mate..."
Everybody in the guild looked shocked at us (expect Sayuri who was kinda nervous).
They all screamed at the same time.
"YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT HIM!?"
Amari felt a little under pressure, taking a few steps back, embarrassed and nervous.
"N-No, we... w-we know about him of course! J-Just uh, haven't heard all the detail-"
I interrupted her, talking in a calmly way with a smile.
"Well, Sayuri told me he became the Emperor of the World a time ago. We only know that."
Amari quickly pulled my cheek.
"Y-YOU IDIOT! WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT!? THAT DOESN'T HEL-"
The Suiciders screamed again, couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"THEY KNOW NOTHING?!"
"J-JUST WHO HE BECAME?!"
"Y-YOU LIVE UNDER A ROCK?!"
Sayuri covered her head with her hat, wanting to simply disappear from there.
Clown made a sign of appeasement, smiling as always.
"Oh don't bother people, you also need a bit of context of things that happened before to understand the ending."
Now that I look at it, how did he deduce that I didn't know anything about the Emperor? Does he know that I'm from another world?! D-Did I make it that obvious?
"H-Hey uhm, just saying if you're thinking about... Me and Amari are not from another city, nor from another wor-"
Amari gave me a friendly punch.
"D-DON'T SAY THAT YOU STUPID IDIOT!!"
Clown didn't change his expression, nor did he really react, but he spoke before the others.
"Well where was i?... Oh yeah, so I'm going to pretend to start reading the book, but really it's just going to be a little bit of context for everyone... Ready?"
One man said.
"You're going to invent the beginning of the book?"
"Indeed. Since i don't think anybody in this room even knows who wrote the book."
Nobody answered.
"Oh wow, oh wow, what an extreme silence! But well, should i start?"
Everybody came closer to him, extremely attentive to each of the words he said.
Then, Amari noticed something.
"Wait a second, if you can give context about the rest of the book, that means you read it?"
Clown simply put his index finger to his mouth (as a sign for silence) and winked one eye.
"A Clown never reveals his secrets♡... So, should i?"
Everybody yelled.
"YES"
