Allen and Kira went to the store they usually sell and were able to make quite a fortune . They are normally sold in vials made of glass . and people bought the mana portions and healing portions which were created by 'KIARA THE EX- MAGE ' .
As they were quite inexpensive and of good quality though being labeled low grade.
both mana and healing portions costed around 2 coppers though most of the cost goes in ordering the glass vials which are specially made to keep them in their best condition for a long time . Once a month we keep supplying around 400 vials of healing portion and 50 vials of mana portion .
The merchant was happy with selling him portions for little sum . In return he used to give me metal ores for half the rate .

After our business we left the store . I could sense a person following us in the shadows .
"Hey sis we better go to the ally "
" HU?.... why ...?"
" Well we got boggies on our six "
"Huu ? ok ... can you handle them ?"
"yep easily . there is only two kids , more like a pick pocketers "
"oh ... "

We move towards the ally and keep walking with a slower .
suddenly two of them with hoods jump one infront of us and the other behind us as if to block all our escape routes . Well they have no idea who they are facing .
They look like they are elder to us but still teenagers .
" Give us your portions and money and we shall leave you "
We practically look like kids who would cry on being threatened by scary thugs . Well maybe my sister would cry but she believes in me too much .
"Why do you steal from people when you can work "
"....?"
" What the ... "
They both were confused as they had not excepted it . And they were frozen in their position . He had cast magic that did not allow their legs or hands to move .
" Why were you specifically aiming for the portions we were carrying ?"
Well if we consider it a person can sell a single stolen portion and would be able to feed a family of four for almost a month . And they were able to see more than 20 portions with Allen .
"THAT IS NOT YOUR PROBLEM ?"
" Uh ,.... you are rude "
Allen uses his strengthening spell and knocks out the rude boy and immediately rushes to the other and grapples them down .
'Huu ? what is this ? feels like a soft pillow ?"
"H-Hey!!.... stop ..touching ... me "
Both were shocked to hear a girls voice . underneath the hood was a beauty .
She had red hair slightly wavy and green eyes . She was slender and bony and could see that they had no proper meals . He assumed them to be from the slums .
The slums were not as large and bad as those in the capital but there were people who were struggling to earn .
He removed the hood from the rude boy .
He was a lean , bony boy with red hair and green eyes like his sister .
"Why did you try to steal "
" No one would help us get a high grade portion as they know that we wont be able to buy them " The girl said in a polite tone . She was embarrassed by the previous situation.
"And all rich people only know how to collect taxes "
'Well most people who are not able to pay their taxes are turned to slave for free labor .' Allen thought and again asked using a truth spell
"Why do you need a high grade portion ? "
The red head girl spoke "Our mother has been hit by a curse .
She was a hunter but she had lot of debts and just paying them were very difficult no mater what we do"
" Hey SIS !! what are you telling them "
They started to quarrel . Kira looked at them . She felt pity for them .
"Hey Brother why dont we help them ?"
"You wanna help them ? "
"They are undergoing through many difficulties . And you have a strong healing power and can atleast heal her mother "
"You know that mom had forbidden me from using my magic outside in front of people "
"I know that mom had said that but can you help them " Kira showed him her cute puppy - dog eyes which he had no way of resisting .
" Haa ..... I can't say no can I "
"Hehe i know that you would not refuse my request "
"But no next times "
"Ok "
They look at the twins that were glaring at each other .
"*cough* can you take us to your mother . We may be able to help you "
They looed at him then at each other and looked back at him
" Ok . but how can we say that you are our friend or enemy "
" Of course we have no ill intentions . We would like to help your mother so that you dont have to steal " Kira told with a cute smile .
They felt relieved and told both Allen and Kira to follow them . They were happy and careful at the same time .

They took them through the alley and then reached a house that was not small but was definitely not well maintained . There was a small garden with few vegetable plants growing and there was no proper fertilizers .
The hose windows were broken , as if been run down by bandits . Could be clearly see that they were being harassed by lone sharks .
As soon as they entered into the house a small girl ran over to them slightly around 8 years old . She was a little healthier than the twins . When the girl saw the two guests she stated hiding behind the redheads .
"May I know your name "
Allen asked the three .
"My name is Zuri , this is my twin brother Zion and this is my younger sister Zara"
"Zara looks so cute when she is hiding " My sister went into her child - doll mood . She takes care of all kids who look young like her doll . Well not in a bad manner but if she starts playing she wont stop serving tea and will make you drink it even when it tastes like shit which is basically torture .
"Take me to your mother "Allen said ignoring her .
