"Ahhh, India!" Issei said in an odd accent, "How do you do, my friend? The weather is very good, yes. Namaste!"

"My friend." The annoyed local replied to him with a sinister smile, "Please shut your racist ass up."

"Oh, sorry." He immediately reverted to his normal voice after being put in his place, "I'll stop."

"Good, and for the record, we do not sound like that." The local grumbled off.

"Is..." I whispered to the other three sheepishly, "Is it racist if I thought Issei's impression was pretty spot on?"

"Yes, extremely." All three replied in unison.

"Honestly, at times I think you two are still stuck in the 2010's." Sandy sighed.

"Why's that?" I averted Eye contact.

"I guess you get a pass since you're from the sticks, amigo, but our Slanted Eyed friend here has no business being so out of the loop on the current state of the world." Juavez glared at Issei briefly, "Simply put, you two are really politically incorrect."

"Ah, sorry about that, I'm not that into politics." I shrugged, "I got some noble friends though."

"Noble?" He furrowed his brows.

"No, Brazil didn't mean it like that." Sandy shook her head, "We mean you guys are constantly throwing around some really offensive words and beliefs."

"This guy literally just called me Slanted Eyed, though." Issei pointed out Juavez' slightly racist remark, "If that's not the peak of hypocrisy then I don't know what is."

"Honestly, if it was just between us, then I'd be siding with Luneski and my nephew, but..." Freddy twiddled his fingers, "Yeah, you might offend the wrong person if you continue like that, so maybe tone it down, you two?"

"Hey, is it racist if what I say is true?" I thought to whisper another genuine question to Sandy.

"Yes, that's called a stigma." She replied with an Eye roll.

"No, but like - What if it's a compliment?" I reasoned, "For example, if I tell someone from Simpleton that their brains are too big for their head, that's a compliment."

"Absolutely not!" She gasped, "Don't go calling anyone a simpleton! That's rude as hell!"

"What? No, not a simpleton, but...!"

"Who's a simpleton?" Juavez glanced back at us, "You two better not be talking crap about me while my back is turned."

"Who gives a crap about you, you self-centered dancer!" She insulted him without hesitation, "What makes you think you're that important!? Damn, go kick a football or something and buzz off!"

"Ah, that was racism!" I smiled, expecting to be praised for figuring it out.

Instead, I got slapped in the face. Ow, what did I do? She was the one that called him names, so if anything, she should've slapped herself! And Juavez backed off real quick after he saw me getting my facial features rearranged, what a coward! These two, what's their problem?

"By the way..." Juavez finally popped the question, "Regarding that parachute you pulled out of nowhere, amigo..."

"I-!"

"Out of nowhere? He pulled it out of his ass!" Freddy burst out laughing at his own joke.

"Huh?"

"Man, that stunt was epic!" He continued to loudly praise me, "You guys know how much mastery over the hoverboard is required for him to catch me while I was falling? And the quick thinking to hold up the bedsheets as a parachute so we wouldn't fall...! Oh man, genius!"

"Wait..." Juavez raised an Eyebrow.

"Bed... sheets?" And Sandy followed suit.

I see, he's covering with an adequate lie again. It's a bit implausible, but as long as he doesn't go overboard, I think we should be in the clear.

"Yeah, can you believe it?" Freddy grinned, "And what's more, he even pulled out a lighter to direct the airflow and make a draft for the...!"

"Okay, that's a wrap." I shook my head, "You messed it up, good job."

"What? Luneski, wait...!"

"You're horrible at lying. Your crappy knowledge of basic aerodynamics gave you away." I sighed before deciding to come clean to these two, "As for what you saw... We're gonna have to find a spot without any other people around. This busy street won't do."

"Lune?" Issei worriedly asked, "You're not gonna...?"

"They said it themselves - They won't ever fully trust us unless we're fully transparent with them." I sighed, "And after this, I highly doubt they'd believe anything other than the truth anyways."

"What is it? What's going on?" Juavez interrogated us on the spot.

"I'm kinda getting scared, ha-ha..." Sandy darted her Eyes between our own, "You guys aren't actually dangerous, are you?"

"I mean, both Issei and I have killed people before." I said in a joking manner, "But we're good to our friends, so I hope we can continue to get along after this."

"Eep!"

Nice, they look really terrified now. Gold star, me! I told them a very vulnerable fact about us, so they'll be more inclined to believe us after this, and they also know we can and will harm them if they try to cause us trouble. Likewise, I'm openly inviting them to not do so, as that way we can continue the journey like actual friends! Haha, I'm a genius!

"You fucking moron, why'd you tell them that!?" Issei chewed me out immediately after, "Now they'll wanna call the police on us, dimwit!"

"Ah, what?" I glanced back and forth between them before correcting myself, "A-Ah, right! Don't worry, we... served our time?"

"That part didn't sound convincing at all, Luneski. I don't even think you believed yourself just now." Freddy facepalmed, "Well then, let's go find a quiet place to explain this mess in full, otherwise these two might actually get local law enforcement on your asses."

"A quiet place!? Wait, I'm definitely not going now that you said that!" Sandy ate her nails flat, "Please don't kill us, we'll leave and never see you again, so...!"

"It's okay, I'll protect you with my capoeira." Juavez tried stepping in front of her, but she immediately stepped away.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"Ew, maybe if you were a hot girl and not a musty man." She grimaced, "Also, no girl would be charmed by that promise."

Wow, she changed tunes quick to critique the guy that literally offered to save her. Even if they aren't in any danger to begin with... Also, he smells oddly nice in spite of his looks, so I don't know where she got that insult from. I don't even think he was trying to hit on her either, so that makes it doubly worse. Poor guy, maybe he should dance the pain away or something.

"So, what do you wanna tell us?" They asked, standing on the opposite side of the empty open field we miraculously found in Agra.

"I think you're gonna have to stand a tad closer to see it." I chuckled.

"Hell no, whatever you plan on doing, do it from over there!" Sandy shot back.

Sigh, guess that's how it is. Well, I better deliver then, cause otherwise I'm going to jail. Hm, what to Materialize...? I originally wanted to do something small, but they won't see it from that far out, so it has to be big...

"Boom!" I made the hand gesture before pulling out the parachute cloth from earlier, "As you can see, I have the ability to...!"

"Stop doing magic tricks and show us already, amigo!" Juavez growled.

"What, but I...?"

"Guess they think you just pulled the same one out of your backpack." Freddy smirked.

Damn, that's...! Actually a pretty sound assumption to make. After all, they don't live in a world with Iros, so I guess I'll give them that. But still, what could I show off to properly prove to them I basically have superhuman powers?

"Then, maybe Going Solipsistic?" I readied myself into a running stance.

"Stop!" Sandy put her hand out, "I told you not to move an inch! I'll really shout if you do!"

"Don't do it, man." Issei had me stand back up, "People aren't here, but they are nearby enough to hear her scream like a banshee. Think of something else."

Again? Oh come on! Fine, then Spark should do!

"What is that?" Juavez squinted his Eyes from afar to hopefully catch a glimpse of my hand, "Is that the lighter Freddy mentioned from before? What of it?"

"It's not a lighter! It's coming from my finger!" I stomped angrily on the ground.

"What's he talking about?" Sandy turned to Juavez.

"Dunno, he may be a bit...." He put his pointer finger to his temple and spun it clockwise, "Louco."

"Argh!"

What other Iros do I even have!? What the hell, do they want me to stab myself and cast Heal!? No, knowing them they'll just say I faked the injury or something! These idiots, they're making it really difficult to prove something very simple! Ugh, let's see - Spark, Going Solipsistic, Heal, Materialize...! I don't have anything else to show! Ah, unless? Well, I haven't done it in years, and even then it was on super rare occasions, but...

"Materialize... Sandy!" I stuck my hand out for flashiness' sake.

"What are you-?" She began the question over there, but finished it here in my arms, "-doing? ...Eh!?"

"Whoa, you never told me you could do humans too." Issei actually clapped in bewilderment.

"Garota! When did he..!?" Juavez looked around him to make sure he was seeing right, "What the hell? Unhand her!"

"Let me go!" She kicked and punched me in every place she could before I carefully put her back on her feet and treated my injuries with Heal.

"Now are you willing to hear me out?" I sighed.

"The bruises are...!" She stepped back before tripping, almost falling but catching herself just in time as Juavez made it to us.

"We'll listen properly, so you better explain this!" He frowned, "How are you doing all that?"

And so, I spilled the beans. Everything, without leaving a single detail out. How I'm from another world, how Issei got transported there 14 years ago, how I got sent back to his world with him instead of Othelia and Eleanor. The Five Gods, Iro Perks and Abilities, everything... but the Wish System. After all, not everyone should know how to alter reality to their liking, and the less people know, the better. Besides, I don't wanna get on the Gods' hit list.

"That's... wow." Sandy paused before flaunting a proud smirk, "Ehe, so I WAS right! It was magic, after all!"

"Tch, wipe that smugness off your face, garota..." Juavez groaned, "Besides, you do realize how offensive you're being right now by telling me about these supposed Five Gods, right?"

"Offensive? How come?" I cocked my head back in confusion.

"The lord is the one true God..."

"Ah, quit it with your damned religion speak already!" Issei raised his tone, "Cause unlike your God, we've actually met them IRL! Hell, I played Smash Bros with the Sun God and kicked his ass!"

"He also almost burnt your dad to a crisp." I added.

"He did what to Itsuo-nii!?" Freddy jolted.

"Unimportant, for now you need to tell us just one more thing." Juavez raised his finger, "Once you visit all the World Wonders, you'll go back to your own world, right?"

"Yeah, I have no business here, after all." I cut the jokes to answer seriously.

"Good." He nodded before adding an unnecessary remark, "Cause we don't need your kind here!"

"Whoa, hold up, that kinda sounded racist, dude..." Issei did a double take.

"Go back to where you came!" He pointed to... somewhere, "Seriously, I knew there was something wrong with you the moment I saw those Rainbow colored Eyes, but I just thought you were a weirdo that likes to wear cringe contacts!"

"Calling Rainbows cringe?" Freddy laughed, "Better add homophobic to this guy's CV."

"What the hell do you know, vovô!?"

"Ah, ageism too." Sandy put her hand over her mouth like she was about to gag, "Again, this is why I dislike men."

"Now that's sexist." Issei, Freddy and I noted.

"Close, it's actually just misandry~" She did a lil kissy face.

I fail to see how that's better, but what do I know? I'm not from here.
