: "don't hold me, you livestock. Anyways I will be expecting the tax…. Or else." He said and had started to walk away, as me and my dad went to aid uncle suzoku.
: "are you okay suzoku." My dad said in a worried tone.
: "yeah yeah I have been in worst states
: "
: "sure dad." I started to make my way to the house as I saw my big sis and my mom waving at me with smiles on their faces.
: "I can't lose them." I said as my mom and sis had hugged me and asking me where is my dad and I told them the whole scenario that happened and then my mom had hugged me while petting my head and like that I hugged her back as I could feel tears threatening to come out of my eyes.
: "I'm sure your dad will find away." She said with hope in her voice.
'I won't make that mistake by losing my family….. again.'

Dante's p.o.v
'
: "maybe I should just meet death for help…" I was about to sleep but then I heard someone knocking… to loud and it had started to irritate me.
: "
: "dante-kun! I-i just wanted to know if… you can help me" she started to act nervous.
: "sure just talk, I will gladly help yo-."
: "great, I need you to help me with my magi-."
Slam!
I raced to the door and slammed it at her face, as I started to dust my hand.
: "go look for somebody else to blow up, iris-chan." I walked to my bed side and lied down on it.
: "magic technique: roaring!" I heard her say and instantly teleported to the door, open and grabbed her hands.
: "don't yo-." I tried to stop her but I was already too late.
: "thunder!" she created a lightning bolt but then I instantly crushed he magic circle, as the blast then exploded in my face.
: "IRIS!, I THOUGHT WE AGREED THAT ALL SPELLS WILL BE DONE OUTSIDE THE HOUSE!" my dad shouted, as she started to apologies to me but the damage had been done.
: "sorry dante-kun." She tried apologizing again but I just headed to my bathroom and freshen up from the whole fiasco.
Timeskip
After I was done freshening up, I enter my room and saw iris with her pleading face, as she started to apologies to me but when I told her that she needs to stop being so reckless, she busted at me and started to denial that she was reckless and then the conversion had led to an argument.
: "nooo….!, you can't prove anything." She said with sweat drops on her face.
: "
: "y-you know what… good night!" she went out the door and slammed it shut.
: "LOVE YOU TO ONI-CHAN!" I smiled why making my way to my bed and lied back.
: "hmp and she calls me the kid." I laughed and then slept off while thinking of my former life.
Dream space.
'
'can't I not just sleep like a normal person.' I said looking a death, who was standing and staring up.
'WELL YOU'RE NOT NORMAL, THAT'S TO SAY.' He said coldly.
'what do you want then.' I asked trying to clear my eyes from sleep…. And it was not working, darn it.
'YES I WANT TO INFORM YOU THA-.' He glared at me but I was too tired to get worried.
'catch you later, jana!' I smiled broadly and disappeared before death blew a fuse.
'WHY YOU BRAT!.' his voice shaken the space.
In the morning.
The sun rays were hitting my eyes, when I woke up and started hearing noises from downstairs, and from the sound of it, it doesn't sound too good so I jumped out of my bed and headed to the window, when I saw the tax collector again and from the looks of things, his looking for trouble, as he shouts at my parents and my parents were beginning them to give them more time, only for it to remind me of a familiar scenario in my former life.
Flashback
: "you're looking very beautiful today sister, are you sure that people don't come here to worship your beauty… cause I am." The thug said trying to hold sister trinity… no way bro.
: "GO WORSHIP SOMETHING ELSE YOU PERVERT!" I ran towards him and delivered a nut crusher kick at his groin.
End of flashback
I smiled thinking about it when I saw one of the knight draw out his sword and instantly ran downstairs and slammed the door open.
: "what do you think that you are doing, huh we didn't threaten you in anyway all we just ask for is some more time." I said angrily, as the collector looked at me with a cold expression.
: "and who do you think you are to talk to me in that way, huh brat." He said with some strand of his hair covering his eyes but then my dad came and blocks me from him.
: "please forive my son, he acts like this to strangers'-_-" My dad defended me in front of the collector
: "please don't worry we will bring the money by next week." My mom pleaded with him.
: "...... fine then, but if you dare defy me." He said while turning towards our harvest storage and grinned with a crazy look, as a large ball of energy came out of his palm.
: "then I might as well show you the consequence of doing so!" he said as he was about to destroy our harvest storage…. The harvest we had struggled on…. The harvest I was forced to work with uncle pervy ape…. Hell no.
: "feel my power!" he shouted as he was about to throw it but just before it blasted off. I blew a tiny breeze that had extinguished it instantly and he had just swung his hand for nothing.
'Wait what just happened.' He thought in shock and everyone was also confused by this but he just regained his posture.
: "arm
'
: "next week or else." He said with a cold tone and they all walked off the distant.
But suddenly, my mom had fall to the ground sobbing, as it pains my heart to see her like this.
: "if we don't pay, they will take everything or…. Might even destroy it all, all of our hard work will be lost." She was crying and but I hated it that she was crying as I went to comfort her with a hug and then my dad and sis joined in.
'I will not let anything happen to my family' I thought why closing my eyes.
In the afternoon
Everywhere is silent, I looked at my mom and saw her with an emotionless stare on her face, when I stood up and walked to my room.
: "I need his help." I said and then lied on my bed and closed my eyes.
Dream space
'Death! Death!..... Where are you?' I shouted but there was still no sight of him.
'I'm willing to work with you… if you can help me!' I shouted out in the dream space.
Death p.o.v
Now that the kid is shouting my name like a mad man, looking for me like as if I own him money, the nerve of that brat makes me want to pop him but I can't because I need him, so let me just be fair to him…. For now.
'WHAT DO YOU WANT' I said in an annoyed tone.
'I need your help' he said with a demanding voice.
'IS THAT HOW YOU TALK TO DEATH.' I said furiously.
'well you are staying in my body, so just consider it as a rent.'
'THEN I DON'T THINK THAT YOU ARE READY FOR MY HELP' I said while walking away.
'wait don't go…. I can beg.'
'HMMM I THINK I CAN GET USED TO THIS.' I stopped walking and had faced him.
'SO WHAT ARE YOU ASKING FOR ANYWAYS BRAT.' I folder my arms and stared at the boy.
'wait a minute when did I start giving out favors… don't tell me that this is my own way of getting corrupted…. No I will not allow it.' I thought in mystery
'ehhh… are you okay death?' He asked me and then I snapped out of my panicking state
'YOU BETTER TALK BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND.' I said trying to regain my posture.
'oh yeah so here it….. I want you to help me look for a job.' He said as I just stared at the brat.
'DO I LOOK LIKE AN JOB APPLICATION FORM TO YOU-_-' I face palmed at his favor.
'please I will make you a deal.' He said, as this spiked up my interest.
'THE NERVE OF THIS HUMAN….
'finally we at making progress, well I guess that the least I can give you is to cancel your rent for this month so there… deal given hahahaha… see ya.' He said in a cocky tone and disappeared from the dream space.
'HOW DARE HIM FOOL ME, HE WILL PAY!!!' my voice shaken the whole dream space.
Dante p.o.v
After coming back from the dream space, I got up from my bed and walked towards my wardrobe and brought out a ring with weird engravings on it.
: "I just hope that it can work... when I need it… I hope." I stared at the ring and then put it in my travelling bag.
