Helen's Past

Chapter-2

—-------------

Hearing this, Ron had titled his head with confusion, as she turned around and pointed at her dirty necklace, Ron looked at the necklace with clear doubt on his face.

Seeing this, Helen frowned and said "did you already forget??, don't judge mana tool by its appearance"

"Hey hey it's not fair, please tell me I promise, I will not tell anyone" No matter how Ron tries to convince her, she doesn't reply and just continues to move forward without looking back.

Seeing that his words are ineffective against her, he puffed his cheeks and mumbled in a low voice "tsk..when I will awaken mine, I will not tell you my stars either".

Helen who was now preparing the dinner in the kitchen thought about Ron's frustrated face and showed a bitter smile 'sorry little Ron, but i don't want to ruin our current life by telling anything to you related to my past'.

As she remembers 6 years ago, back then when she first fell to this land. She was lost and confused, she had nothing but rag clothes and a ugly face covered with dirt.

As at that time the season was winter, the snow covered the town. She walked through town asking for help but people in the town either cursed her or hit her …..even children hit her with rocks saying things like 'go away ugly witch' or something similar.

Seeing that all of her pleads fail, she goes to a nearby mountain in search of food and water, but as she goes deeper, her eyes start to shut down because of the weather as she becomes unconscious.

When she opened her eyes again, as she observed that she was in a wooden room on a bed near a fireplace with bandages wrapped around her, she was confused and lost, thinking that somebody had kidnapped her but as she remembered her current state.

She thought with a bitter smile on her face 'why would someone try to kidnap me, when I now nearly lost everything' as she was figuring out her current situation.

Suddenly the wooden door of the room was open, a boy with black hair around 9 years old stepped inside with a water bucket, with a towel in his small hands.

Boy seeing that she was awake dropped the bucket and runs towards her, anxiously said "big sister are you alright, did you feel anywhere cold, did you feel anywhere uncomfortable"

Seeing boy's worried face, she lowered her guard and said with a small smile "little brother, I am now feeling better a lot better than

Before…"

*grumble*

Sound comes from her stomach as she looks down with an embarrassed face.

Boy giggled seeing big sister embarrassed and said "wait here I will bring soup that I have prepared for you" After he ran outside with a smile on his face.

After a short while the boy comes back with a bowl in his hand, as he says "sister here, eat this quickly before it's became cold" And sit near the edge of the bed.

As he takes the spoon brings it near her mouth "eat slowly, it's hot ok?" With a warm smile on his face.

She looks at the boy who had a warm expression on his face, she unconsciously moves her head and eats it.

Suddenly her eyes became wet, and tears began to fall down without her knowing. After all, this is the first warm food she had after a long period of time.

Seeing her crying, he started to panic as he quickly asked "big sister, why are you crying?? Is the food not good??"

Seeing the boy anxious she quickly replied as she wiped her tears "N-O..no.no.. no, it's so good that i can't help but cry tears of happiness" As she snatched the bowl and started eating hastily.

After hearing that she likes his food, he was also relieved, he waited until she finished her food.

After 3 minutes, the bowl was finished, she lower the bowl and look at the boy with gratitude and said "thank you for this, i will definitely return this favour"

"Don't mention it, big sister after all, my grandma always told me to help others in need" Reply with a big smile on his face.

She looked at the smiling boy, and asked the questions she had in her mind for a while "hey kid, can you answer some of my questions please??"

"Of course ask me anything sister But my name is Ron and I am not a kid, ok?" Said with an angry expression.

Seeing the boy's angry but cute expression couldn't help but chuckle and said "ok..ok then Ron then tell me where is your guardian??"

"I lived in this house with my …grandma but she disappeared 7 months ago, since then I am alone in this house" Answered this question with a sad look.

As soon as she heard this, she became angry and thought 'how can anyone have the heart to leave such a cute child alone for such a long time, I don't understand'.

She soon changed her expression, for not wanting to scare the boy and said "then who carried me here??"

"Of course who else but me, I told you that I lived alone here" He said like it's an obvious thing.

"But how can you carry an adult with ….your small body???" She clearly didn't believe it but not wanting to make him angry, so she used a small body instead of a kid.

"Of course It was easy-pissy for me, after all I work out daily" Flexing his arm he replied.

Sensing no lie from the boy; her heart begins to fall apart, imagining a small boy carrying an adult body in such stormy weather.

She stared at the boy for about 1 min and she suddenly realized something Abnormal about the boy, that she didn't sense any mana from the boy, not even a tiny bit, that is something impossible for this world.

"Ron….. Can you use mana?" She asked for confirmation. After all, it is hard to believe, someone without mana is like someone without blood.

"Mana? I can't because grandma told me that I don't have any but i know I have Mana but can't used it just because my body is too weak"

"Because of that reason I trained my body everyday, so that my body can become stronger then I will finally be able to use Mana" He explained himself with a determined expression.

She looks at the boy with pity and sympathy, because In this world everyone is born with Mana, this is common sense. She didn't even hear of a person without Mana.

And Maybe….because she thought he was abandoned due not having mana.

"By the way, big sister, what are you doing outside in such weather??" Boy asked as he remembered the condition he found her.

she look at the boy and thought how to answer this question after a while she replied with sad expression "you see…..I come from the place where I can't returned, now I am lost in this foreign land and nowhere have to go"

Hearing this, now the boy gives her a pity look and thought for a while, then speaks with a kind expression "if my sister doesn't have anywhere to go then… why don't live with me, then you will not be alone anymore"

She was stunned because now the face she has, nobody will be in their right minds to say such things to her, she looked at him and asked in a trembling voice "a-re...you really s-ure about it??"

"Yeah, why not after all if you live here I will also have someone to play with, until my grandma returns, so it is a win-win solution for us" Ron said with a proud look like he has done the smartest thing.

"B-ut ar-e y-ou not disgu-sted by my face?" She asked this very nervously.

Ron reply this with very big smile on his face "maybe your look are not good but your aura

is very beautiful"

*Sniff*

Her face started to tear up, because the movement she came to this land, everyone treated her like a plague, this is the first time that someone treated her with so much kindness, but she manage to suppress her emotions because she doesn't want to make her savior worry again and also she had one more thing in her mind that is 'aura'.

"Ron, what is this aura are you talking about"
