No Reincarnation

As my tears finally dried down I looked at the mysterious figure. "Thank you. May I know your name?."

The mysterious figure didn't answer my question, he just showed a gentle smile and waved his hand, suddenly a long white corridor appeared out of nowhere, the mysterious figure waved his finger indicating to follow him..

As I followed, he guided me till we reached a Japanese Tatami room ,we walked and stopped as we both sat down facing each other, the mysterious figure smiled and waved his hand and a chubadai with two cups appeared..

He poured me a drink of warm sake. I Denied to drank the sake as I'm not really a drinker. I asked for tea instead, which he nodded and poured me some, as I sipped the tea which taste refreshing and soothing to the mouth. I would glance at him from time to time..

Noticing my glances he would give me a gentle smile. After finishing my tea I looked and asked the mysterious figure. "May i know why I'm here?. I already know that I'm dead. But I'm curious as why we both are here sitting and drinking?."

He slowly answered. "Well we had a problem about your soul, one of my juniors accidentally blew off your candle (Soul) , you weren't supposed to die actually. After the doctors sudden revelation that you were gonna die tomorrow a miracle was supposed to happen and you would get cured from your illness.."

As I was staring at him with a grim expression. Noticing my expression he immediately bowed. "I'm so sorry as I was his senior it's my fault and responsibility to compensate you!!." .He's voice sounded really raspy compared to the majestic tone he used earlier..

I was taken aback as he suddenly apologized.I understood that as a senior he was supposed to guide his Juniors, but one of them actually made a mistake a fatal mistake as it's life were talking about.

"Umm. I'm alright actually I thought that it was unfair that my soul was mistaken to die the day after, but since you gave me a glimpse of how my mother was after my death and how she was coping, then I'm alright." It's true actually after his revelation that i was supposed to be miraculousy healed by my illness. I thought for a moment as I found myself at the abyss I thought how unfair the world was to me.To be plague by my fatal illness all throughout my life, and the pain my mother was carrying, but seeing that my mother is already coping and found new happiness in life I'm already satisfied.

A child only wants happiness and the best for their parents..

"Thank you!!.. Really thank you so much!!."

I can't believe that the aura he showed earlier already faded. This is very uncomfortable as he kept on bowing and thanking me like I'm a saint. "Umm.Please stop!!.". It's really embarrassing to be kneelt on and be thanked as I did nothing that worthy..

"Huh. Oh I'm sorry about that embarrassing display. ". He stood up and started to puff out his now dirty clothes. As he kept on cleaning his clothe I can't help but wonder if I'm here to be given a cheat like ability in my next life..

As he kept on cleaning his clothes. I wondered. "Umm.Excuse me. Can't you just wave your hand like what you did earlier?."

As he heard my question. " Huh oh. Actually it doesn't work in this clothes as it needs to be cleaned by hand only.The one that created this clothes meant that just because we can do many things with just a wave of our hands doesn't mean that we are invincible."

As I heard his answer I understood that it's a way for them to not be prideful at the things they can do. "Umm. May I ask is there some compensation like for me to reincarnate?." As he started to stare at me. "Umm. It's just that I'm already happy that my mother's well but I read some in the manga that once you die you get reincarnated with some cheats. Hahah."..

Awkward.. I shouldn't have asked but my die hard Otaku brain got a hold of me..

As are awkward stare down continued "Umm sorry about that actually." I broke the awkward atmosphere as it was suffocating me..

"Huh.Oh no umm about the reincarnation l actually can't give it to you." As he said that he drooped down with a grim expression.

"I'm really sorry actually I'm not god so I can't give you the reincarnation you want.".As I heard his answer it was my turn to droop down...
