Chapter 229 - A familiar face
Death had come to collect their souls, without much haste he sat beside Miyuki "You have saved 300 souls I need 300 souls as payment."
Flavio sighed and took out a chocolate bar using his divine energy "In the time I made the souls you should try the chocolate, it is a bar of chocolate created with the hands of mother Tonantzin.
My kids like it but since you’re going to wait you should try it. "
Death accepted the chocolate bar and was surprised why it did not turn to dust so he took it to his jaw to take a bite, she realized that she could feel the taste of chocolate and the sweetness of sugar.
She had never been able to try anything other than ashes. This was because anything she tried to eat or touch would turn to dust, but the chocolate did not allow her to taste a true flavor.
She decided to eat it quite calmly, giving small bites so that she could enjoy its flavor when she finally finished eating the chocolate bar she noticed that the young man was looking at her with a smile while there were 300 little souls on the table.
The death is completely inexpressive because she doesn’t have flesh on his face, she took the souls and thanked the young man "Thank you very much young man for the gift, it is the first time I can try something different of ashes."
Flavio smiled and handed her a small package of chocolates "Consider it a gift from me, by the way, we may see each other much more often depending on how many people come to see me.
My name is Flavio, I will be waiting for our next meeting "
Death nodded and took the souls with their chocolates and then disappeared, Miyuki shook his head "Again time stopped with who you are talking to."
Flavio responded casually while eating his mole plate "With death who is a pleasant entity I have to admit that his skeletal hand felt very soft when she touched me, I didn’t know that the bones could feel like silk.
She comes to collect the souls she owed, you know that every person who I save from death costs me a soul.
It is a fair deal of a soul for a soul. "
Miyuki threw the cover with which he was eating his pozole "Wait you were with death and she touches you, but most importantly where did you get the souls"
Flavio prepared a taco and gave him a big bite "You say it as if touching or being near death was bad, I’m going to tell you something the death of my dimension is inside me, you should see it is a pretty tsundere girl but it’s a good girl
Thanks to that I am in a kind of limbo where I cannot die and how much I simply do the souls, of course how they are new souls have no experience so they can only be animals before they can become human. "
Miyuki felt a cocktail of different feelings but her face was afraid she looked at Flavio "Armando you are a monster, you know what it means to make a soul.
You also know that death is destined to be alone, it is already dangerous to meet her but that it touches you even as gods would have a high cost.
Me, I can’t stay by your side. You’re a damn mistake in the system, you’re dangerous, I’m sorry, but I’ll let my sister handle it. "
Miyuki took his things and left without stopping looking at Flavio as if he were a real monster, Flavio, on the other hand, could only smile forcefully, the action of Miyuki’s hurts him but he knew that she was not the woman he fell in love she are someone else completely different with the same face of the Miyuki he loves.
Flavio sighed and asked for the bill he could not continue eating after he was rejected and treated like a monster by Miyuki before he could stand a beautiful young woman with red hair sat at the table where he was.
The woman looked at Flavio and smiled "Nice to meet you, Armando, I’m Tania, maybe you don’t know me but ..."
Tania couldn’t continue her words why Flavio hugged him, she didn’t understand why but she could feel tears coming out of Flavio’s face, she could only put her hands around his back.
The customers of the store did not understand why the young man was crying in the arms of the red-haired woman but they continued eating watching the situation unfold.
Flavio was carried away by the feelings so it took a while to react and separate from Tania "Forgive my rudeness and lack of manners but you reminded me of a person who died long ago which despite not being very close to me is very important."
Tania shook her head "It wasn’t uncomfortable for me but I was surprised that you hugged me suddenly while you cried.
Knowing that someone like you can cry makes me feel calmer I can know that my intuition was not wrong and that you are not a bad person.
Let me introduce myself again I am Tania a white hacker, I’ve been seeing all the promises you’ve made. "
Flavio smiled "I can imagine that you were the one who uploaded the taqueria video yesterday, right?"
Tania scratched her nose "Sorry if I bother you but it was the best way to send a message of hope to this chaotic world and try to you notice me."
Flavio shook his head "Not at all but I don’t think you came to see someone like me just to introduce you.
Let’s do something I will help you with whatever you want for the inconvenience you cheer when I hug you. "
Tania became serious "We can’t talk in this place, you will have to accompany me to a place with less vigilance, we better take a taxi or ..."
When Tania was going to take out her cell phone she could see that everyone was frozen even a glass that fell from one of the tables by a child was suspended in the air.
Flavio who was already by his side helped him to stand up. "It is surprising it does not seem like it, we will accompany you wherever you want, that way we will free ourselves from the 5 different people who have been watching what we do."
Tania looked at Flavio with surprise "If you knew why you talked all those things with Miss Miyuki, you know that the information you have given can be used or sold."
Flavio started laughing "Haha when you talk about food with ants, you don’t worry that they know where you keep the bread.
I’m not afraid of whatever comes, I’m not lying when I say I can’t die, but let’s talk in more comfort. "
Tania just looked at Flavio and before she could say anything she could feel Flavio carrying her like a princess as he pulled her out of the place to jump to the roof of one of the buildings "You just tell me where you want to go."
Tania with surprise pointed north and Flavio jumped between the buildings, Tania could feel the air that hit her face and with the security of being supported by Flavio’s arms.
It caused her to forget all the problems and enjoy the view of the beautiful city of Mexico at night, what surprised him most is to see the city completely stopped, nothing moved in it and that gave it a mystical touch.
People who were arrested as photographs doing an action, cars which seemed to be detained with statues inside and insects which were levitating in the air with their wings extended.
After a journey of some minutes that for Tania were the best of his life, they arrived at his apartment located in a quiet beautiful tower on the reform avenue.
The apartment was quite large but it was extremely messy, Tania blushed in shame "This is my house, sorry for the mess but I haven’t had time to clean up."
Flavio could see how Tania’s face was sad and put his hand on Tania’s shoulder "Tell me how I can help you, although remember that there is something I can’t do and that is to revive a dead man."
Tania shook her head as she walked to a piece of furniture where she took a picture of a small child "He is my brother Carlos, he was kidnapped 2 weeks ago by the organization that wanted to take you by force.
Those damn shits took him, just because I did not comply with a deal in time, for a damn minute they took my brother, you have to help me is my only family if something happens to him. "
Flavio approached her and hugged her "Just tell me where to go and I’ll take care of the rest."
Tania let herself be hugged again by Flavio and the two stayed like this for a few minutes ...
