I was happy that one of the coaches asked me to write a sequel, so I did. Oh, where am I? Why am I running through a snowy field in the dark? Oh, I remember now. I’m running an ultramarathon at the North Pole. What’s that bright light? An elderly man appears in the dark sky. “Hi, Taisei. I’m Amundsen. You’re lucky you’re in my jurisdiction. I guess you’ve got something looking out for you.” “What? The Amundsen? The first man to reach the South Pole? It’s an honor to meet you.” “Today, I’ve brought you a good deal. You’re having a hard time paying your tax bill, aren’t you? It’s common knowledge up in heaven.” “Oh, damn it. Even people in heaven know? So, what’s your point?” “If you keep running at this pace, in about five minutes you’ll come across a huge black rock. There’s a cave entrance beside it. Go inside. Buried just beneath the ground at the back of the cave, you’ll find my diary. Take it to an auction, and you’ll get enough money to wipe out your tax bill.” “Really? That’s very kind of you. But why are you telling me such a sweet story? As you know, I’ve already been through something suspiciously similar.” “It’s because there’s something in it for me, too. There’s one condition: before you take the diary to auction, you must remove and destroy the letters bound inside it. Can you promise me that?” “Okay. Easy enough. After all, my tax bill will be wiped out. I’ll do it.” “Good. Have a safe run.” “Wait, wait! Tell me one thing. Who was the woman I met last time? Why did she choose me?” “All right. I’ll tell you. She was Cleopatra.” “What?! That Cleopatra? The legendary beauty?” Apparently, once someone becomes known to more than ten million people, they are allowed to help with God’s work as a spirit. Sure enough, I was running in Egypt when I met her. Anyway, back to the conversation. “She didn’t look that beautiful. I mean, sure, she was reasonably attractive.” “Haha. Standards of beauty change over the centuries. Anyway, Cleopatra and I were dating. Then we broke up, and she took my stocks and disappeared.”
