Childhood Friend Is a Genius Wizard - Chapter 131



EP15. Starry Sky Forge (10)

It felt like waking up from a long sleep.

The first thing you feel is the warmth and comfort you feel in your arms. When I raised my hand and carefully touched it, I could feel the fluffy fur.

Then Levi opened her eyes. Her fox’s mysterious blue eyes were staring at her.

She involuntarily smiled and opened her mouth after stroking the fox’s head.

“Kyu-ah. Where is Shawn?”

“Queup.”

At the fox’s plaintive reply, Levi looked around her. As she now realizes, this was not the last place she remembered.

Ah, she fainted from magical exhaustion.

As expected, Meteor was a higher level magic than I thought. If she hadn’t been able to defeat her golem despite using Meteor, the whereabouts of the battle would have been a mystery.

We need to be more careful in the future. After finishing her thoughts like that, Levi looked around her cave where she lived.

“Are you awake?”

“Ah, Ms. Elsa. What about Shawn?”

“She’s still sleeping.”

Turning her gaze in the direction Elsa pointed, Levy was able to find Sean sleeping in her sleeping bag.

“Looks like you overdid it quite a bit.”

“I will. I’ll have to be careful in the future. Oh, and.”

Levy added a word as if he had forgotten, and then used magic. Immediately, the faint chill completely disappeared, and instead, she felt only warmth enveloping her body.

“I’m glad I found the cave. If not…”

Her own carelessness may have put Sean and Elsa in danger. Thinking so, she felt guilty.

“Excessive self-blame and regret are not helpful. Didn’t it turn out well as a result? It’s just that we can use this mistake as an example and prepare more thoroughly in the future.”

“Yes. Thank you for saying that.”

Elsa looked out of the cave. Outside, the snowstorm was still blowing fiercely, and it was still a dark night long before dawn.

“Let’s go back to the forge slowly. There is nothing good about being in a hurry, and I think I should get some sleep.”

“Did you stand guard all this time?”

“Because sleeping is always the most dangerous.”

Levi immediately got up from her seat and spoke to Elsa.

“Then go to sleep! I will stand on the remaining sentries.”

“Are you okay? It hasn’t been long since I woke up, so I’d better get some rest.”

“hehehe. Are you okay. There is also a sentry magic.”

“I see. You’re a wizard after all.”

Elsa nodded her head and shifted into the small tent where Levy lay.

“Then let me close my eyes for a bit.”

“Yes. Rest well. Can we leave tomorrow morning?”

“Yes…”

After going into the tent and laying her down, she immediately fell asleep.

She confirmed that, and Levy sat with her back against the wall and quietly admired the scenery outside the cave.

How much time had passed like that?

“····Levy?”

“Oh, Shawn! Woke up?”

“When did you wake up?”

As soon as she woke up, she saw Shawn worrying about her, and Levy replied with a light smile.

From noble mtl dot com.

“Not too long ago. Ms. Elsa was on guard, so I changed her.”

“Really? I should say thank you later.”

Sean naturally walked over to Levy and sat right next to him.

“Shall we make a campfire?”

“Suddenly? Are you cold? I cast a spell.”

“Um, rather than being cold…?”

At Shawn’s ambiguous answer, Levy pondered for a while before speaking.

“Well, that’s not too bad.”

Levi immediately magically manipulated the branches scattered across the cave, then she piled them in front of her and started a fire.

The bonfire made in an instant enveloped the cave while burning softly.

Thanks to that, the atmosphere of the cave, which was brightly lit and filled with warmth, was not too bad.

“It’s okay.”

“Yes. Are you fine.”

The two of them always flirt with each other when they are together, but for now, they just quietly spend time soaked in the emotions of a bonfire, a cave, and falling snow.

“Now that you have found the meteorite, will this adventure be over if you make weapons?”

“Isn’t it? In other words, the Calderon chapter is over! I guess I feel the same way.”

“Then what will be our next chapter?”

Levy rested his chin on her chin for a moment and pondered at Sean’s rather vague question.

“Well? Even wizards don’t know the exact future.”

“Sometimes I get curious. What will be at the end of our adventure?”

“How do you feel about the end?”

“So, for example, whether it is a children’s book or a heroic story, there is always an ending. Like defeating the villain who wants to destroy the world.”

Sean always liked that kind of talk. Stories of heroes, adventurers, and warriors whom boys would long for, where justice defeats evil.

On the other hand, the story that Levy liked was of a different genre. Stories of love that are a little more affectionate and fresh, and make your heart pound.

A story of a couple who faces a more hopeful and happy ending rather than being tragic enough to leave out tears.

After all, even after growing up, wouldn’t the two’s tastes change?

Because the ending Levy thought of in response to Sean’s question about how it would end was completely different from the example he had given.

“I can’t wait to see what the end of the adventure will be like.”

“Really? What do you think?”

“It will end like the storybook Sean said. I don’t know which enemy to defeat, but in the end, and the two lived happily ever after. Because it will end.”

Memories you will never forget.

A promise that will never be erased.

The only reason Levy learned her magic was so she could live happily with Sean.

Just like ‘The Princess and the Wizard’, her favorite children’s book she has.

Sean didn’t say anything for a while after hearing Levy’s answer.

Actually, Sean had a different reason for telling her about her end.

Because it’s been coming to my mind lately. Levi’s meaningful words that he encountered in his inner world.

He had been silent for a long time before he cautiously opened his mouth.

“····Levi.”

“Huh?”

“It just came to my mind, it’s happened before.”

“How do I understand when you say before?”

“That, when catching a runaway troll.”

With her specific words, Levy recalled her memories of that day. It wasn’t that long ago, so it wasn’t hard for her to reminisce about that time.

“Why then?”

“You read all my memories. Do you remember?”

“·····Ah. Of course I remember.”

Shaun hesitated, his eyes fixed on the campfire.

“Why did you make that face then?”

“That kind of expression. How was I…?”

“I don’t know what to say, it should be a little fearful expression.”

A fearful expression. She said she had that look on her face. Levi had no idea.

Well, if you think about it, it’s probably not strange that you couldn’t pay attention to your expression after you knew such a shocking fact.

“Is it because of the memory of when Luke died?”

At Sean’s guess, Levy naturally recalled the scene she had seen while reading his memory.

In the thick rain, they made their way through the thick forest with the footsteps of a child.

The series of processes that followed was an event that would remain as a terrible trauma for the young boy.

“Of course, that memory was also scary. It was even more sad because I understood how hard Sean must have been…”

After spitting out, Levy shook her head slightly and added.

“But the reason I was shocked that day wasn’t because of that memory.”

“No?”

“Yeah, you heard about that moment from Sean a long time ago. It’s something I already knew, apart from what I personally confirmed.”

Sean didn’t understand Levy’s answer.

Is there a scene in your memory that will be more shocking and terrifying than that moment?

If he had such an experience, there’s no way he wouldn’t have told Levi himself.

But Levy says he’s not too shocked because he’s already heard about it.

In other words, the shock of seeing Levy, her memories that Sean hadn’t explained to her.

But if there was such a moment, she would have told Levy for sure…

“Levy. What the hell did you see?”

Levy didn’t answer right away. There was only the sound of a bonfire burning and the sound of snow falling outside.

“····Shawn. It won’t change anything just because I have to listen to this.”

“You promised.”

“·······.”

The two promised.

I will tell you without making any secrets.

I’m not going to hide it with the excuse that it’s for you, but the two of us will shoulder it together and solve it.

Since it was none other than Levy who proposed this promise first, she had no choice but to open her mouth in the end.

Levi buried her head between her knees for a moment before she finally started talking.

“Grandmother Yan… Sean, she wasn’t your real grandmother.”
