Chapter 86: I understand
The Strauss siblings' parents passed away early, and Elfman and Lisanna were practically raised by Mirajane.
Back then, the three siblings relied on each other in a small, remote village, occasionally receiving some help from the villagers.
Life was tough, but there were still small moments of warmth and touch.
As Mirajane spoke about their impoverished life, she couldn't help but smile.
Even when she mentioned being treated as a demon by the villagers, she didn't express any resentment towards them. Instead, she focused on how Lisanna defended her.
When she was scolded, Lisanna would argue loudly for her;
When she was hit by a stone, Lisanna would throw it back, worrying if she was hurt.
Lisanna was strong, kind, and always tried her best to protect her sister.
Compared to her, Elfman seemed almost too gentle in his nature.
Rhodes listened quietly as Mirajane recounted their journey of leaving the village and joining the guild.
He heard her talk about Erza, Cana, Natsu, and Gray from back then, but the focus wasn't on them; it was more on how her younger siblings interacted with these people.
