Since that day something was longing Mikel, he knew 2 feelings that would manage to stay even until the end of his days, he would have them very present that no matter how much time passes, they will always be strong both negative and positive, if someone comes to reproach, insult or even despise him, Mikel will feel that his world plummets and that he can not alone, he will do his work like everyone else but until there, But on the contrary, if someone comes to take care of him, to protect him, to teach him, to appreciate him for what he is and what he knows how to do, then Mikel will feel that his world can expand and that he can do everything he promised, with good foundations, good treatment and construction, if he receives the support of the people, Mikel is able to meet the expectations of all, his reward is that everyone is happy for his effort.
Mikel woke up like a normal day, but this time he woke up more lively and with strength, normally it would be to see him sleep until breakfast time, to see how Vie called his voice to wake up was something routine, but not this time, Mikel woke up at the proposed time, he could see for the first time how all the children were walking around the big room, some sleepy, others already more awake, the only ones who were not at this time were both Vie and Fari, who each have their own obligations.
But something strange was happening while everyone in a group was going, either to the bathroom or to the dining room, several children turned to look at Mikel who was smiling and walking in a lively way, it was too much like this stood out at this time for the above said, so out of curiosity, some of those who were close to Mikel, asked him why so happy, while others commented that they want to play with him again to see more tricks with the yo-yo.
『No problem, just tell me what you want, I would like to know what you would like to have right now, it can be anything, a toy, a music box, nice clothes, among many other things, I will bring them to you *smiles*』.
Mikel commented without further ado to the children who were next to him, he had a big smile of innocence very marked on his face, the other children turned to see themselves as confused by Mikel's words, it was very strange for them that he said that to them, accompanied that days ago Fari also said strange things that for them were strange from the oldest of the orphanage, without more to do, they told him in a normal way, even for responding some of them to Mikel.
『Well I want a toy cart』『I'd like an action figure』『I'd like a new doll, the one I have is too old』『I'd like to eat honey or something sweet again, candy and stuff』『A blanket to keep me warm at night, I wouldn't want to get sick again』『I want to see mommy and daddy again』
Mikel listened to everyone as he tried to remember the children's requests, listening to them as some said it by saying it, others still having hope and faith, brought out their true wishes, while others even knew from the reality that their requests could never be fulfilled, seeing how Mikel tried to remember everything while touching his head, even repeating over and over again what each child wanted, this one quickly came to Mikel's mind.
『(Vie likes to make medicine, cook and know more things, I could bring him herbs from the forest or objects I find in the city, my mother used a cookbook, while my father every chance he got read a newspaper, I already have it, while for Fari, lately he is reneging little, what could I give him....)』
『I want your yoyo 』
『Eh?』
From what Mikel was thinking about being able to give to his family, a boy had approached him to ask him to give him his yoyo, Mikel was confused about this as he didn't expect someone to tell him that, he knows he said he will give them whatever they asked for, but Mikel kind of was a little bit against this.
『The yo-yo is mine, I can't give it to you』.
『But you said you're going to give us what we told you』
『That's what I said? I guess I said, I can't give you my yoyo, but you asked for one before, it's okay, I'll give you 2 things *smiles*』
『Then I want your spinning top that you carry in your pocket』.
『My spinning top...』
Mikel searched through his 2 pockets and took out his yo-yo and spinning top, the first toy was in perfect condition, while the second one could not even spin, Mikel looked at this with sorrow and sadness, as it reminded him of those moments with his family and friends, those 2 toys mean a lot to him, giving them to someone just because he tells you so, Mikel is very much against this action, in that Mikel was remembering his parents and Didiel, the boy who asked him for the toys, quickly with his little hand he would try to take those toys, where Mikel feeling his touch, quickly he would put his toys in his pockets and run quickly to the dining room, it was obvious what he just did, he was escaping from his own responsibility he just did, for the simple fact that he couldn't fulfill it.
『(It's the same boy who asked me earlier to bring his mom and dad to him, I also want to see them again)』.
Already in the dining room, the old lady who was in charge of the orphanage, together with Vie were serving the food to everyone, the children is like that already because of what happened by their 2 friends, that they behave strangely, they started to see more clearly and well to others, before it was just play in their little world, But now, they had their eyes fixed on the old woman, who they had not seen before, but her clothes were totally dirty, her face, although she always tries to maintain her posture and smile, they noticed that there are many moments in which she is sad and without strength, is that why they do not see her much? Maybe the old woman leaves the orphanage so that the children do not see how weak she has become.
As the children were serving the dishes, they went to the old woman and told her, without mincing words, that they would serve themselves and bring her food to her table, and the children were so excited to help the old woman that they did it in a good way.
『You rest, we are old enough to serve our own food』『It's easy, receive the plate and bring it to us with our hands, although it must burn, I always eat it blowing』『Yes, that's right, we also want to become aware, go rest old lady, from now on we will be the ones to take care of her *smiles*』
The children were happy because they also wanted to be able to help and have a change, they wanted to contribute and no longer just turn a blind eye, they would like to play for longer, but they are still afraid to go out, and even worse because of how their friends came back last time, if they want to help, she wants it to be at home, the old lady who was still with a smile on her face, with a calm and relaxed attitude, when she heard the children's words, how firm the plate was, she quickly began to tremble as if losing strength, the children saw this and tried to take the plate with their hands, but the few who did, felt a great heat that they quickly removed it from their hands.
『Children...I...』
Before she lose her balance, the old woman would put the plate on the table, they could see steam coming out from the food, while others noticed the old woman's hands, they were harder than normal, she had calluses, if you touched it you could feel the difference between soft and hard, her nails were broken, still seeing her condition, the children would claim her to rest and even bring her food to her room. But quickly the old woman would respond no longer trying to hide how she feels.
『Feed me? you are not even able to hold a hot plate, and I am sure you won't be able to carry everything on a tray either, you would end up tripping in the house or falling on the stairs, I can't let you get hurt, I am the one who takes care of you, I am the oldest one here, it is my responsibility, I am not tired, I am not frail and much less useless, I still have strength to help you children, you just worry about yourselves, I am in perfect condition』.
『But old lady, you were trembling and the plate-----』
『Stop repeating the obvious, as long as you don't judge me...as long as you who are all I have don't judge me, I'm still able to draw strength, you are children, limit yourselves to just smiling, that's already a lot for me *smiles*』
The conversation with the old woman has become more serious than they thought, their help they wanted to give ended up being rejected several times by the same, you could see how she was trying hard not to worry the children anymore, her forced smile could be noticed at a glance, the children no longer knew what to say, but quickly Mikel who had heard this, approached the conversation to interrupt.
『Same here, so I ask the same of you old lady, what would you like to have *smile*』.
With a smile on his face Mikel made his presence known, this seeing the old woman was a little happy because at least there were children who understood his situation, but at the same time it bothered him that it is not so, so the old woman replied that the only thing he would like to have is that his family is smiling, which she already has, all the children in this orphanage right now could be said to lack nothing despite the limits, the old woman was looking again at the dining room, how the children were eating and talking to each other amidst mischief and laughter, this brought a smile to the old woman's face.
『Yes, as long as I see my family, everything will be fine』.
『I understand, good! I've already finished breakfast, so now it's time to keep my word!』
Mikel quickly we see him with the door open outside the orphanage, this one was highlighting his abilities of being able to go outside without any fear, this one was with full energies that no one could stop him, he managed to sneak out in a way that right now he was on his way to go around the city and streets of Arnicania in search of the wishes that people asked him for. But in that returning to the orphanage, the old woman was just having her breakfast along with Vie who managed to serve everyone, as she arrived at the table she looked tired and with sweat on her forehead.
『I'm finally done...mornings are always hard since I have to cook early』.
『I'm sorry Vie, I'd like to help you but age no longer....』
Before the old woman when she was in a better state, she was the one who cooked in the orphanage, and took in the children who for x reasons were left alone, in all these years she was in this position, she was always lively and with a characteristic strength of Arnicania, most of the children managed to get afloat in the same city, while others went abroad, an example would be her own son, who when he was young helped her in the orphanage in many labors, he was her right hand in all this time, but by the arrival of the war, her son had the commitment to serve his country leaving Arnicania, the farewell was the only thing she knew about him, he never received a letter, a message, a communication, nothing at all, this was also one of the disadvantages of the people of Arnicania, although the years passed she still has hope that her son can return home, if that day passes she is very sure that he would only be attended by who he considers family of his blood.
『Don't worry, I still have strength, I'm growing so I'll get stronger as time goes by』.
『Stronger, it's a blessing to be someone young (I hope my son is alive)』.
They ate without any hurry, the old woman was blowing as well as Vie and each one had her difficulties when it was time to eat, they still remember how it was the last time they cooked together, the old woman was already losing strength but still wanted to continue cooking as usual, but in one of them, because of her arms she couldn't bear it anymore she ended up spilling the food that was in the middle of preparation to the floor, in order not to have more problems, from that day Vie was in charge of making both breakfast, lunch and dinner. While they were eating Vie found it strange that Mikel did not come down, she shouted to him again and again, but he did not come down from the room, as usual she would get up from her chair to go and tell him in person, but in that quickly the children who heard and were still eating, told her that.
『Mikel already got up some time ago, he said he will give us what we ask for and since then we haven't seen him again 』.
Vie was confused about this, like he will give them whatever they ask for, it was very strange to him, but most likely he is trying to do something with the objects in the orphanage, he was still eating but anyway it bothered him that if he is roaming around here, at least to his call he would have answered even in the distance. While the old woman was able to deduce something quickly, but just as she deduced it quickly, this one dismissed it because of how she knows the facts.
『(Mikel already knows what it's like to meet those shadows and shadows, he's not someone foolish enough to leave home twice, no one likes to have your pride trampled on)』.
And he was still eating normally, but Mikel quickly where he was was running normally through the streets, listening to the sound he made was something characteristic, quickly the other homes that had children living in it, some opened their windows, others looked out of the corner of their eyes through the glass, they saw a happy child running through the city, it was very strange, it was the same child from days ago that was screaming for his friend, now he does not do the same, so if he did not go out to help someone, then why would he do it now? Those kids just had something on their mind, which is certainly not like them.
Mikel was running around the city until he met a shadow walking around the place, quickly Mikel waved at him where the shadow in surprise likewise waved back, this made Mikel happy and he would ask him if he knew where to find new clothes, any music box, or even honey.
『All those things we have, what do you want it for kiddo?』
『I want to give them to my family, I asked them what they wanted and they told me this, I know they told me more but I still can't remember 』
『I see, then I will help you, the easiest thing to do to get what you want, is to go to a house of an elite shadow, knock on their door, wait for them to open, and the first thing you have to do and listen carefully child is, get down on your knees and beg for it *smile* show that you really want it, humiliate yourself in front of them, drop your pride, lick their shoes, and if they want to step on your face, or treat you like a puppy dog, that's the easiest way to get what you're looking for kid *smile*』
The shadow was giving him a more than horrible and humiliating option to get what you want, but in that Mikel of how attentive he was to receive help, this his gesture changed, since he did not understand of why he would have to do this to get what he is looking for, since as he experienced it recently, he knows that all those things he does not like to do.
『Isn't it easier to say a please than to beg...that's how I was taught』
『*laughs* No kid, you're here now, you have to adapt to how things are done here, it's the easiest way, the other option is to look through the garbage we dump on the beaches, look in the forest we're cutting down, but you have to hurry in both things, the sea is slowly taking our waste and honey as weeds we are destroying it or keeping it for ourselves』-『There is also another option, and that is to search among the war we are having *smile* are you able to go there? 』
The shadow was giving Mikel suggestions for Mikel to take, but quickly Mikel dismissed many of his options and stuck with the first one, the one about going to ask people nicely and with a please, the looking through the trash thing didn't appeal to him, he wanted to give his family a nice gift, and the war even though he only saw the post of it himself, he dismissed it at first. He thanked him while he told him where those elite people were, the shadow very kindly gave him directions on how to get to that area, with another thank you and a kind farewell, Mikel retired to run through the streets. The fact that the shadows do not do anything to Mikel, is due to the fact that previously an elite shadow gave the order that no one messes with the boy, which everyone is complying with because they want him to find out for himself what it is like to live here for people like him.
『(I knock on the door, ask them for a favor and they will surely give it to me, *smiles* this will be very easy)』.
He was leaving very happy Mikel going that area of the city, on his way he had to pass by the square he looked sideways and could see how the shadows turned to look at him, Mikel quickly waved his hand as a greeting, where the other shadows waved back, but Mikel quickly looked away and ran into young men who were training in the middle of everything, this confused him and he stopped to look, before he had not seen it or paid attention as he was more focused on finding Vie, but now that he sees it, this seems a little unfair. He didn't say anything, he didn't make another move, he just limited himself as some shadows approached them and said things in their ears, the young men of Arnicania had the annoyed and irritated expression, he remembers it, he remembers that expression perfectly, Fari always had it when he came back home, annoyed and without anyone telling him anything or contradicting him.
『Those people are having a hard time, it looks exhausting and that at any moment they are going to fall, I....』
Mikel approached and went next to the same shadow he conversed with days ago, the same elite shadow that gave the order that no one do anything to Mikel, he pulled this shadow to get his attention where he succeeded, and asked him what this group was doing, the elite shadow told him that they are preparing them to be better people and to become useful.
『If they are qualified and successful, they can become like us 』.
『Like you guys? but they look tired and with an annoyed expression, you guys instead are always smiling sir, but to really smile you have to have fun and have a good time, so I say they will be able to become like you, look, this is what I do to make my family happy 』.
Mikel took out his yoyo and would go on to do tricks with it, the elite shadow would go on to stare at him for this trick, other shadows that were watching, went on to watch Mikel as he could do a variety of tricks with his yoyo, Mikel was trying his best to do this and always with an innocent smile, as he did this, he would see the shadows smile and congratulate him some for the skill he had, this made him happy, but the Arnicania juniors were still more tired forced to do more exercise.
『They should smile too shouldn't they? I see them very tired, if you want them to be like you, then they should also enjoy what others do for them, please』.
He finished his last trick with the yo-yo and made a good stroke with it, the elite shadow who was watching and listening to this, looked at Mikel and then looked at the youngsters who some of them could not do it anymore, he looked at Mikel again who again asked him to please. The elite shadow would pass to smile where this one would tell him that it's okay.
『You win kid, for today you can go home, but tomorrow I want you an hour earlier than agreed, retire!』
This was strange to the youngsters, would the shadows really let them have the day off? Confused some of them didn't believe it, until again as if making a double warning to their dog, the elite shadow told them to leave at once, whereupon the youngsters gathered their things and left with that intrigue in their throats. Mikel was happy about this, because even though the previous shadow has told him that you have to humiliate yourself, but it was the opposite, with a please is enough to get what you want, the elite shadow would end up addressing Mikel who is very good with the yo-yo.
『(I knew it, with a please is enough)』.
Mikel would proceed to leave and continue with his tour, he was running through the streets of Arnicania, but in one of those, he saw how there were places or blocks where there was no pass, this was strange to him, he had seen them before, when he took a look he saw that there was nothing there, he did not know then why they would prohibit the pass, but where he was passing now, managing to raise his eyes and stand on his toes, he managed to look as a group of young people seemed to be building a home, a house, which Mikel would not stand any more he would end up getting tired.
『The good thing is that I'm already close, I must hurry』.
Mikel being about to arrive, he quickly heard how something fell to the ground destroying itself, hearing that and relating it to the bad thing that happened to him, he would quickly hide behind the wall and look sideways at what was happening, on the ground was a broken plate that had food, it was likewise all scattered, it was an elite house where a shadow had an old woman at his mercy.
『Again you came back Margarette? there's your plate of food, go eat it』.
An elite shadow of the household, from the way she spoke she must be a woman, this shadow had served a plate of food to the old woman Margarette but out of enjoyment she let the food fall on the floor causing it to splash on her clothes, the old woman was on her knees looking at the floor, you could see how she was repressed by this.
『You're not going to eat it? eat it if you want it to give you what you're looking for』.
Margarette, who was still silent, refused to eat from the floor, did not say a single sentence, she said nothing. The old woman came with the purpose of asking for some food for her orphanage, for the children, she also wants to bring something to the house and not all leave it to Fari, the shadow seeing that she did not say anything and did not respond, would speak to start doing it.
『People like you really disgust me Margarette, you are already old, aren't you ashamed to do this? every day the same thing, it even seems that I have a personal pet *laughs* come on come on, look for him look for him, son bring me the leftover bones』.
A shadow appeared who was the same one who annoyed and humiliated Mikel some time ago, he brought as he said some bones and without more than nothing, the elite shadow told his son to take one and throw it to the other block, which the shadow first refused since he didn't want to get dirty,but his mother with a scolding and raising her voice, his son had no choice but to do it, with disgust he took it and threw it away.
『Come on, go get it and I'll give you some pasta and some jam *smiles*』
Margarette at first refused, she could not raise her eyes, so without further ado after a while, slowly as if on all fours, this one walked through the streets and after a few minutes, she returned between her teeth that still had the bones that were thrown to her, the shadow mother told her son to take it where the disgusted son paid heed, everything seemed to end here, but out of nowhere, quickly the shadow mother with her foot crushed the head of the old Margarette against the ground.
『That's what you people are!!!! A simple teasing for us!!!! You are better than doggies!!!』 here it is funny to humiliate you!!!』 if I did it in my country I would already be behind bars, but this place belongs to me!!!』 you belong to me!!!』 everyone here is mine and I can treat you as I want!!!! don't forget that we stole your pride!!!』
『Stop...please...it hurts』
『Stop me?? That's my goal stupid!!!! rather blame yourself for being born in this place, you and everyone here are going to live in the worst possible way, until the last day of your lives』.
The little shadow returned after throwing the bone with the goods that the mother shadow said, when she finished she threw him to the side to then close the setting tightly, the old woman Margarette was sad, so much so that she would cry while she could not help but remember the days when she was happy, the days when she was together with her son and helped him in many things, always cheerful and understanding, that was how she taught him, if she was here for sure she would have defended him and that would have made him very happy, but no, he is alone and there is nothing of him in his native home anymore. Picking up the cloth that was thrown to him, he realized that what he was given was a pittance, it was as little dough as well as little jam, Margarette was crying silently while he still doesn't know why he keeps doing this.
『Son...I miss you so much....』
Mikel who managed to see this, all the time his heart was pounding, the old lady would pass by walking down the street where she was and Mikel would hide so she wouldn't see her, as she was already retreating, Mikel was in fear, he didn't understand why she was treated like this, if she also said please just like him, then. Mikel didn't understand, he didn't want to do anything else, he thought about asking these people for help, but if they are all like that he doesn't want to, besides, the little shadow that made him go through that bad moment lives here, if he runs into her then ....
Mikel returned home some time after the old lady Margarette does, it was very different how they both came and how the children treated him, when the old lady arrived, he did his best to wipe what he could, both tears and his clothes, he changed his expression and joyfully commented that he brought pasta and jam, the children were happy for this even if it was little, but they were happy, seeing the smile of the children was their Margarette's engine, but when Mikel came, the first thing that happened was.
『What's up Vie? Were you waiting for me?』
『So if you went outside, didn't you learn anything, Mikel?』
『Huh? But I told them I was going to bring you things』.
Vie happened to look for Mikel all over the orphanage, but seeing that he wasn't here, she could quickly deduce that this child went out on his own on the streets, she was upset that something would happen to him, the first thing that came to her mind would be to give him a slap on the cheek for putting himself in danger again, but she remembered that this is not how you raise a child, besides that for sure after the slap, Mikel would cry causing a fuss.
『No big deal, those people treat me very well, to the other people...tomorrow if I bring them what I promised *smiles*』.
『Tomorrow? you're planning to go out again』
『Yes, I have to bring them what they asked for *smiles*』.
Vie didn't know what to do with this boy, so she quickly gave him a scolding and forbade him to go out tomorrow and all this week so that he would learn, she started to give him a sermon that he shouldn't put himself in danger, that walking in the street is dangerous, that he shouldn't pay attention or hang out with dangerous people, she gave him a lot of advice and scoldings, where Mikel would eventually say.
『If my mother had told me all this, I would have definitely told you that you look like my mother』.
『You're the ones who make me act like this *sigh* I just want you to be okay Mikel just like everyone else here 』.
The next morning old lady Margarette wouldn't go to the shadows for help, she needs to recover so she can do it again, while Mikel was being watched by Vie, she had her eyes fixed on him, she even gave him the order to follow him everywhere, Mikel devised a plan with all the children so that they could distract her, thus causing a great commotion in the room that Vie had to stop them by force, but when she finished solving it, she realized that Mikel was not with her, but had escaped to go for the second option this time.
She was on the beach and just as they said, all the garbage they throw away was here, what was once a clean and lively beach, was now totally dirty and opaque, she could clearly see how the tide was going up and down, the tide itself was taking the garbage little by little, it was really a big mountain of garbage, There were many things there, especially food, some objects that were broken, weapons that no longer worked and were dismantled, there were many things, Mikel was willing to find what he set out to find, but when he smelled it quickly he was disgusted, so covering his nose he had to search through the garbage. After being almost until noon searching, he managed to collect a few things, from the music box he could only find gears, from the clothes he could only find some already torn fabrics, some toy carts totally destroyed, dolls that were without arms, hair or legs, he had several things that he could rescue, but seeing them that it was not as he imagined, Mikel did not plan to take it with him.
『This is no good, it's just junk, I just want the best for my family』.
He took a broken wrist, walked forward, he was going to throw it into the sea, but quickly the tide had risen to touch his feet and wet him, quickly Mikel would fall back for this and as if it had been by fate, a crab was biting his shoe with its claws, Mikel did not feel anything for the protection, rather he was very happy, it was the first time he saw a crab, he was so surprised that he would try to take it with his hand and even make it his pet, but when he wanted to touch it, the obvious happened.
『Ahhh!!!! Let go of me!!!!! Let go of me you weird hard thing!!!!!』
He waved his hand to let go, where in this that the crab flew out and fell on the sand face up, see how this one tried to use his feet and his pincers to get up, while Mikel blew his hand to calm the pain, he turned to see the crab without knowing that it was a crab, this one managed to get up and was leaving the place.
『What was that thing, but it attacked me really bad, if I see it again I'll be careful』.
He was thinking of throwing away what he found but because of this crab that appeared, he left the things he found where he gathered them and left to go, when he arrived for lunch, he asked Vie for help to cure his finger, and told her about the animal he found, knowing for the first time that the animal that attacked him was a crab.
"It was a crab, it crushed my finger badly, if I knew it was dangerous I wouldn't have touched it』.
『On the beach there are many more animals, the ones I like the most are the sea shells, because if you are lucky you can find sea pearls inside them, they are very beautiful, years ago when I was your age Mikel, I managed to find one, I gave it to my mother who was very happy, now she must be lost』.
From that day on, Mikel has been intrigued to know more about the fauna on the beach, and as Vie knew about the subject, he took the opportunity to tell her what he remembered about each creature, as the days went by, the beach became his stopping place, here he came every day to find not only in the garbage, but also to see what other animals he could find, he managed to find sea shells, more crabs, sea snails, there were not so many animals like seagulls or turtles, because of the garbage these animals did not come close, but while he was looking on the beach Mikel, He found something extremely rare that even seemed something out of this world, he found something purple, transparent, sometimes blue, it had like whips in its lower part, what Mikel had found was a Portuguese caravel, if it bites you, for a child it is deadly, This Portuguese caravel was stranded on the beach unable to move, Mikel for the previous experience he had, he prefers not to get so close to the creatures he does not know, with a long tube he pecked the being, it was like inflated at the top, he thought that if he pecked it it would burst, but no, it was still there all uniform.
『What a weird thing, but I better not touch it, I would not want to be bitten again, but with what I have been here, I could only collect more gears and broken dolls, some broken toys, blankets totally dirty and with holes, maybe I should look elsewhere, I also did not find the sea shells that have the pearls』.
Mikel would pass by to see the objects he collected and put them aside so they wouldn't be carried away by the tide, what can he do with this...for now nothing since they are of no use to him, he was planning better to go to the forest to look for herbs and if he can honey, with honey they make sweets...then maybe he can learn how to make them but.
『I should have paid attention to Malin's classes....』
『What are you doing here...』
From what Mikel was alone, a little shadow had appeared on the beach, this one had a garbage bag in hand since he came to throw it on the beach, but he had met Mikel , this shadow was the same one who had humiliated him, quickly you could see on his face as he framed a smile.
『With that here you were, and me looking for you around town, but I guess it suits you to be together with the garbage, here, receive it』.
The shadow threw the garbage bag at Mikel, which bag was not tied and all the garbage fell on Mikel, the shadow laughed at this, he thought it would be another boring day but now that he met Mikel it will be a fun one.
『What are you doing? rummaging through the garbage? what will you get from here? we just throw away what is no longer useful to us, but to you our waste must be worth a treasure, just like my mother said, you are like filthy filthy dogs』.
『...』
『I also wanted to look for you for something, give me Vie at once』.
The little shadow again touched on the topic that he wants Vie, where this Mikel did react by telling him that he will never do it, but the little shadow commented that it is useless even if he doesn't want to, since comparing him to him, Mikel is nothing.
『Do you think a donkey who likes garbage can stop me? My father is the colonel here, his men are my men, if I want I can order them to finish off your family, I can order them to hand Vie over to me, you don't want me to take that option, do you donkey?』
『Father? do you have a father?』
Mikel reacted to the word father from the little shadow, who this one highlighted again that his father is the most important man here, then quickly Mikel didn't avoid thinking about his and how good he was, he would start to say that he starts to miss his and that he wished he had spent more time with him.
『What an envy really, mine would pat me on the head when I did something well, he would congratulate me, when he came back he would give me a big hug and put me on top of him, we would eat together and he would tell about his day which was fun, he was always attentive to me, he was serious but warm with me, he would take me to the bathroom at night, he was a good father, how envious that you can get all that 』
Mikel commented already for just remembering, but this when he heard the little shadow, he didn't like it at all, you could see how he was upset and in whispers he was denying what Mikel was telling him.
『I dress well, I'm smart, I'm handsome, I have a great house, a great future, I have people at my service, and what you envy me is my father? Hey burrito, are you just saying that to annoy me?』
『I'm envious and annoyed because you still have a father and I don't』.
『(Damn.... you're making fun of me, he's making fun of me, my father never noticed me...)』
La sombrita was annoyed by this, because for some reason, it's like Mikel had noticed him, as if he had seen through him and realized that la sombrita doesn't get along very well with his father, what's more, he doesn't even pay attention to what he does, annoyed he clenched his fist, but seeing that Mikel was with a pipe, he thought that if he attacks him, he would defend himself with it, right now he is at a disadvantage, he was looking around, looking in the garbage for something to use, No, he wouldn't do that, he was disgusted just being here, so what, at that moment the little shadow saw something on the beach, it was the Portuguese caravel, as it was not very well known at that time, nothing was known about this being, so quickly by its shape, the little shadow deduced that it was an animal, if he threw it against Mikel, he could use it as a distraction and hit him until he was no longer able, with that in mind, the little shadow would walk towards the Portuguese caravel.
『(What is that thing stranded in the sea, it has tentacles like a jellyfish, is it a jellyfish? I can take from the head that looks soft and throw it to the burrito, then I can study it, yes, I want to see what's inside)』-『But well, this is my last warning, hand Vie over to me tomorrow and whatever you are looking for, I will give it to you *smiles*』.
『(To hand over to me what the old lady received, sorry but no) I already told you a thousand times no and stop treating Vie like an object』.
『Well then go back to feeling the humiliation burrito!!!』
The little shadow was running with all his strength towards the Portuguese caravel, he was going to touch it and throw it against Mikel, but quickly the latter, he knows that this animal can be dangerous because of the unknown it is, he doesn't want this little shadow although he doesn't like it very much, to have an end like him. Mikel was also running with all his strength, this realizing the sombrita rushed faster, because of the difference in age and size, the sombrita was going to win.
『(I'll take it and throw it at him, I'll hit him until he can't do it anymore, I can enjoy it now!!!』
He was going to take it with his bare hand to the animal, but !!!!!!!!!! Mikel had thrown his pipe at the little shadow so that he withdrew his hand at the last moment, thus making it not reach him, annoyed by this he would look towards Mikel, who this one lunged at him with a tackle making both of them retreat, all to tell him.
『We don't know what that thing is!!!! It can bite us and then we'll be crying!!!! And I don't want to see anyone suffer anymore!!!!』
Mikel was on top of it and screamed all over its face, the little shadow to this quickly because of the strength it has, it got rid of Mikel with its feet to throw itself at him and give him several punches in the face, it was hitting him non-stop, while the tide was rising, in one of those took the Portuguese caravel and withdrew from the beach, for a long time until he got tired, the little shadow to see that Mikel could no longer struggle, stopped hitting him, very upset looked at the other side and shouted.
『Where is he!!!! Ahhhh!!!!! You're an imbecile Donkey!!!! I hope you die!!!』
He was retreating from the beach very upset leaving Mikel lying on the beach with the blows and bruises he received, this one could not get up, he was only looking at the sky that was opaque for some reason, at that moment Mikel was enduring the pain, he was crying but at the same time he was upset, he remembered again the time he was humiliated and accompanied by this one, he was clenching his fist and gritting his teeth.
『Even though I saved you.... I hate you.... I'm really starting to hate you....』
Mikel was frustrated and filling with anger that wants to explode against the one he hates so much, he was covered in trash, again on the floor, covered in purple bruises, but this time he wasn't afraid anymore, on the contrary, he felt he had to give it back to him at any moment.
