.
We quickly reached Angel Beach, beached the boat, and sprawled down, panting heavily.
“That was dangerous,” I laughed, regaining my breath.
I suddenly had a glint in my eyes.
“Maybe I should find it and ride on its head or bungee jump using its tongue…” I muttered excitedly before Su slapped my head angrily.
“Woah!
Woah!
Sorry, I won’t think about it.
I will forget about it soon anyway,” I apologized, but Su didn’t look convinced.
“I hope that sound did not wake anybody here and spoil tonight’s fun,” I hoped worriedly.
“Su~” she agreed, diverted from the previous topic.
“That’s it, god, from now on we part ways,” I hissed at the sky angrily, believing that was God’s plan to torment me.
“I won’t believe you anymore,” I huffed before adding ‘Don’t believe God’ in my note, as if I were a believer.
Then I got on the dial vehicle and drove away from the beach towards the orphanage.
After reaching the Orphanage, I started instructing Su, “Now the time is 3:30; we have very little time, so listen carefully.” I took the map with many marks on it.
I pointed at a mark in one color.
“You go to these houses and take the pet bugs grown by the kids, leaving a message ‘We R Not Satisfied!’ on the wall,” I instructed, to impersonate it as a message from a bug ancestor.
“If you have extra time, you can also paint on the kid’s face or wings,” I grinned evilly, tucking three water dials labeled paint into her scarf, then placed a small box containing bugs caught in the upper yard.
“Then take those bugs to the house of kids without bugs and throw it inside leaving a message ‘U have no respect for the ancestors!’ then prank them with paints as well,” I smirked, thinking about the chaos the kids will cause in the morning.
“I forgot you are a fox, so you don’t have to write specific words, they only need to get the overall message of that bug ancestor arrived,” I explained, thinking for a while.
“Use the sleeping gas near if necessary,” I instructed, getting out of the vehicle.
Su submerged into the fog, carrying the box using its jaw.
I transported all the remaining food left in the vehicle into the Orphanage storage.
“Then as a parting gift,” I smirked evilly, then turned the entire place into a haunted house.
I looked satisfied with my work.
“Goodbye!” I whispered, taking my backpack as I left.
I went towards a hidden place named ‘Main Prop’ on the map.
The instructions from ‘Past Me’ indicate that this is an important prop.
I quickly reached there and found the prop -a freaking skeleton- “Holy shit~,” I exclaimed in shock.
According to the note attached, it was found in the sea, attached to the side of the island cloud.
I took it carefully to the next destination, ‘The bank’, and hid the skeleton.
Then I began to make a hole in one of the bank’s walls, according to the marks drawn by ‘Past Me’.
I went to the next place, ‘God’s residence’.
Mostly, God stays in Upper Yard, but due to the trial, he stays here.
I was nervous about entering this place because of how heavily guarded it was.
But it seems ‘Past Me’ frequents this place because of ‘my’ friendship with Pierre.
So I just followed the ‘Past Me’ map and instructions and successfully infiltrated it.
I quickly found Pierre, then convinced him using bits of bribery & threats to follow my plan.
I knocked out the sleeping Gan Fall with sleeping gas and placed him on Pierre, then flew out of there, leaving a note behind stating, [I have sent God to a SAFE place.
P.S.
Find him before he is starved to death.] I retrieved the vehicle and reached Angel Beach, where Pierre was waiting with the unconscious Gan Fall.
I gave Pierre an entire box of alcohol, as bribe-Er- promised, then I placed Gan Fall in the Dial Boat.
Reeling the fishing rod, I found a sea shark caught in it.
I knocked it unconscious and loaded it into the vehicle, then attached a water dial near its gills to prevent it from dying.
“I hope you don’t die quickly,” I muttered, securing the shark.
I turned to look at Pierre, who was already knocked out after drinking a whole box of alcohol.
“What the…!?
can this stupid bird protect him?” I grumbled, dragging him near Gan Fall, onto the Dial boat.
I started the boat and set them off into the sea with an ‘Enjoy your holiday’ note.
“Well, he better wake in an hour, or he is going on a long journey DOWN,” I muttered, looking at the distant boat.
“Anyway ‘I’ have already checked the sea, so he will be safe in that direction,” I convinced myself.
I drove back to the bank and entered the hole I made along with the skeleton.
I looked at the ‘Past Me’ instructions displayed as a hologram with a map attached to it.
‘I’ highly detailed the map with ‘Must Follow’ instructions on it.
“*Tsk* *Tsk*, ‘I’ am a genius,” I praised, looking at the detailed plan.
I easily entered the vault following ‘My’ genius plan.
I looked at the neatly arranged Extols, then grinned happily and arranged the Extols in the shape of a throne and dressed the skeleton in Gan Fall’s dress, then placed it on the throne.
I excitedly thought about the scene when they search for Gan Fall only to see this skeleton.
“Hehe, just thinking about their reaction crack me up,” I giggled creepily in the dark before getting out of the Bank.
After I exited the bank, I saw “Su~ Sue~, ” Su trotted happily with a proud look on her paint-covered face.
I shook my head, smiling at the happy fox.
I retrieved the water Dial labeled ‘paint remover’ and poured it on her.
“Wait for a while for the paint to remove.
Meanwhile, let’s retrieve all the dials out there,” I suggested, taking the paint-water dial back from Su.
“Suu~ su~su~” whined the fox unhappily, thinking it was the end of a fun time.
“Don’t worry, it’s not over yet.
There is a job for that big guy,” I pointed at the sky shark grinning evilly, which was matched by the fox.
We removed all the dials we placed in advance and got ready for the last act.
I poured water on Su, removing the remaining paint on her.
“Hm!
It’s going to be five soon, and we will cut it close,” I stated, glancing at the watch.
“Without you, I would have not finished even half of it,” I thanked, patting her, who squinted her eyes in enjoyment.
Finally, we drove to the last destination – White Beret’s barrack.
Then I set off all the remaining sleeping gas dials and used a breath dial to push the gas towards the barrack with Su’s help.
After we knocked everyone out, I dragged the shark from the vehicle.
“Poor guys, they are in for a good Wake-up call,” I grinned evilly, entering the barrack wearing a gas mask made using a breath dial.
I released the shark in the bathhouse after turning all the water dials and blocking the drains.
Then I raided the armory and infirmary, excitedly filling the bag with supplies and weapons.
Packing the Dials in the armory, I also got some good ideas, finding some ball dials in here.
I booby-trapped all over this place, using flash dials, tone dials, and some other tools from my sack.
I made many ball clouds from ball dials, filling them with paints, glues, bugs, oil, feathers, tear gas, smoke bombs, pepper flavor, itching powder, etc.
I grinned, admiring my masterpiece with Su near my feet.
“Haa…!
it’s a shame I can’t witness all these with my own eyes,” I sighed dejectedly.
Driving back to Angel Beach, I dropped off Su.
“Ok, goodbye, thanks for the help,” I praised, patting her head as she looked sad.
“I will definitely forget about today, but I will see you someday since I want to learn about dial engineering from Pagaya,” I revealed.
“Suu~ Su~” she cried with moist eyes.
“I won’t die, but I can’t guarantee about not doing crazy stuff.” I spread my hands helplessly.
I waved a last goodbye before getting in the vehicle.
I drove the vehicle towards the docks, looking like a drunk driver.
“Gaa!
my short legs…
I only remember it when I am alone.
I can’t see anything in my front,” I complained, then I got a crazy glint in my eyes.
“It can’t be helped,” I muttered, getting out of the vehicle.
Taking out the bags, I secured them tightly behind me, then walked, jumped, etc., to get used to the extra weight.
“Let’s hope it won’t hinder me,” I stretched my body.
I took a rope and a stick before tying both ends of the rope to the steering wheel, going around the top of the roof so I could control the steering by pulling the rope.
Then I climbed onto the roof and pressed the accelerator through the window using a stick.
“Cool, it works as I thought,” I exclaimed and squatted down slightly to avoid getting thrown off, and drove towards the dock.
After I reached the docks, my attention was drawn to a ramp that was used to get people/goods on/off larger boats.
“That’s perfect.” I licked my lips and drove the vehicle towards it at full speed.
“This is the first of many crazy things to come.
To reach Sea Of Stars!” I hollered as the vehicle climbed the ramp and soared to the sky.
When it reached the apex of the jump, *whizz*, I started the jet board attached to my feet, flying higher.
“Whoohooo!
AAAhhhaaaa” I whooped in excitement, landing on the sea.
*splash* The vehicle hit the sea behind me, so I rode the waves created by it.
“Fuck you, God!
I can create my own awesomeness without your special effects,” I taunted, “Hahahaha!” laughing happily.
The wave I was riding suspiciously grew bigger with each passing second, which I finally noticed.
“What the hell?” I shouted in alarm.
I looked dumbfounded as the water receded to show a baby speedy shrimp holding my jet board.
I stared dumbly at the shrimp for a while and finally lost it.
“That’s it, you stupid god, we are done,” I screamed curses, struggling to move my board.
“From now on, we are bitter enemies.
Do you hear me?
Bitter enemies!” I shouted as the shrimp started moving in a different direction.
“I should have coolly ridden into the sunrise,” I yelled in frustration, pointing at the rising sun.
Letting go of my dignity, “Hey my good brother, shrimpy, that’s not the right way.
Please go this way,” I begged the shrimp, politely pointing at the sunrise.
“Oi!
You are ruining my moment here.
Ok!
I will not eat shrimp in my life if you listen now,” I pleaded, but it was still moving in a different direction with its silly face.
“Are you listening to me?” I yelled, losing my temper.
“You stupid pea-brained idiot, turn around that way,” I yelled, stomping the board after freeing one leg.
“I am going to have a shrimp feast when I get on the land.
Do you hear?” I screamed as we rode away from the sunrise.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________ Author’s Note At this point, I think the protagonist and God have officially declared war on each other.
I really wish we could see the Bank’s reaction when they open the vault and find a skeleton wearing God’s clothes sitting on an Extol throne.
As for the White Berets…
they went to sleep peacefully and are about to wake up to a shark in the bathhouse, paint everywhere, bugs, glue, feathers, and enough Dials to ruin everyone’s morning.
Su also deserves a mention.
Our little cloud fox went from accidental encounter to full-time accomplice.
I’m going to miss their chaotic partnership.
He finally gets his dramatic sunrise moment…
and a shrimp steals the damn jet board.
And somehow, after everything he did tonight, this is what breaks him.
Also, yes.
The shrimp is absolutely listening.
Probably.
