Childhood Friend Is a Genius Wizard - Chapter 132



EP15. Starry Sky Forge (11)

“Good morning.”

Elsa stood up and greeted her in the morning. However, when the atmosphere of the two awake seemed strange, she tilted her head and asked.

“Has anything happened?”

“…No, it’s nothing.”

“Hmm. No matter how much you guys are lovers, it’s a bit sad to bully only me.”

“It’s not like that! Just····.”

“It’s a joke.”

She must have had something happen while she was sleeping. Guessing so, Elsa decided to move on without giving it much thought.

She’s a child who will tell you in detail if it’s something she needs to know anyway.

“Then, why don’t we simply fill our stomachs and set off?”

“Yes. It should be. Elder Taeho will be waiting for you too.”

So she ate breakfast with the preserved food Elsa had prepared for her, and then got up to leave the cave.

“Queup. Will you come too?”

“Queup.”

Kün responded by transforming into a giant wolf.

“Kreureung.”

All three of them got on the wolf’s back, starting with Levy, at the wolf’s wink as if he was doing something quickly.

“I felt it yesterday, but it is really big.”

“It’s about three people riding on it.”

If it was a normal wolf, it would have been absolutely impossible. Levy, who rode the most, said while stroking her head.

“Do you know where to go?”

“Kreung.”

“Okay! Then I’ll ask you.”

As soon as he heard Levy’s request, Küng kicked off the ground and left the cave without delay.

At an amazing speed similar to yesterday, it felt like flying against the wind.

“Exciting! hehehehe!”

“…Come to think of it, didn’t it just look like this when looking for meteorites?”

There was no way they didn’t know the way because they had been guided by Kyun anyway.

Well, it has no meaning now.

The huge wolf kept running forward. Neither the severe cold nor the bitter snowstorm could stop them from advancing.

Only footprints were left in the white snow field where the wolf left.

***

Certainly, I was able to come back in a very short time compared to when I was walking. When the blacksmith could be seen in the distance, it was when the sun, far from setting, was shining brightly.

Arriving in front of the forge, the three got off the wolf’s back. Immediately, the transformation broke, and Küng returned to the form of a fox. The stumbling figure was not normal no matter who saw it.

Levy hurriedly took Kün into his arms and said worriedly.

“I must be tired…”

“It’s only natural that I ran without stopping once.”

“Let’s take him inside. Give me a break and I’ll be fine.”

“Yes.”

Chugging Kün, Levy entered the forge with Sean and Elsa.

Inside, I could see Taeho sitting in the same seat as always.

“You came back sooner than I thought. So did you find the meteorite?”

“Yes. I found it.”

“Oh, I never thought I would find it. I honestly didn’t expect to find it.”

I thought that even the person who ordered me to find it and bring it to me would not be able to find it.

Well, if it wasn’t for Kyun’s help, he might still be wandering around Calderon looking for meteorites.

“Take a look somewhere.”

“Here you are.”

“Hmm…”

Taeho, who took out the meteorite fragments from the bag Sean handed him and examined them, only let out a low moan. In the end, Sean, impatient, had no choice but to ask himself.

“Is it possible?”

“Perhaps. Of course, it’s my first time making a sword out of a meteorite, so I’m not sure.”

Soon the old man said as he took out the yellow jewel that Sean had been deliberately keeping.

“Was this also a meteorite?”

“It’s complicated to explain…”

Sean gave Tae-ho a brief explanation of the events they had been through.

After listening to the end of the story, he admired it with a blank laugh.

“They run wild.”

“We are the victims…”

“Enough. After all, this was an ore that reflected magic, right?”

“I guess that’s how it is.”

After checking all the meteorites and organizing his thoughts, Taeho nodded his head and said.

From noble mtl dot com.

“Yes. Anyway, you brought some hairballs.”

“Ah, this is the transforming friend I was talking about earlier.”

“You’d better be careful. He is no ordinary animal.”

At the old man’s warning, Levi asked in surprise.

“Do you know Kyungi?!”

“Everyone knows. If you mess with him, you might be punished.”

“A heavenly punishment, is he such a great animal?”

Shaun turned to look at Kün. The boy’s eyes were focused on one place. To Tae-ho, who speaks of himself. How does he know what to do?

“What a great animal. If Shinsoo is not a great animal, what is it?”

“Shinsu…”

It was an unfamiliar word. But the meaning could be roughly guessed. After hearing Elsa’s explanation, he realized that it was as he had guessed.

“It means an animal loved by God.”

“Kyungie is loved by God.”

Levy looked down at Kün with a rather calm reaction and exclaimed in admiration.

If that’s the case, then it’s understandable that she can understand human speech and transform into other animals. Although the fact that she is loved by God more than that is itself surprising.

“Then go inside. The work will take time.”

“How long will it take?”

“I don’t know. It’s my first time doing something.”

“I understand. Then I’ll go in.”

The party greeted Taeho and left the workshop. After finally returning to their room, they simply washed up to relieve the accumulated fatigue and immediately took a rest.

Elsa goes into her own room and after a long time Sean and Levy are left alone.

“Queup.”

····Although the fox was also with them.

Lying on her bed, watching her levi flirting with her quips, Sean called her.

“Levy.”

“Huh?”

“Do you know what the gender of Kün is?”

As soon as I asked her question, she had a pathetic look in her eyes. It was Kyun, not Levi.

Ignoring her fox’s gaze, Shawn patiently waited for her answer.

Levy looked at Sean for a moment, then she replied with a smile.

“hehehe. Sean doesn’t know that either? You look like a cute girl!”

“…So it’s a female?”

“Stupid. Sean was a hunter, so why can’t he tell the difference?”

There was a bit of an unfair side. He is a hunter and sleeps, and no matter how much he blinks, he can’t see the male and female parts at all.

“Queup.”

Sean couldn’t respond to the fox’s cry as if he was blaming himself.

***

It was already dark, and it was time for everyone to go to sleep.

Sean and Levy, too, lay down on the bed to get some sleep.

I took Elsa’s advice and tried to sleep in the same bed whenever possible. Although it hadn’t progressed to that point. Nevertheless, the fact that we are sharing the same space at a close distance made sense.

But Shawn couldn’t fall asleep easily. It wasn’t because of Levy’s heart pounding like it used to be. Shaun, staring at the ceiling and lost in thought, called out softly.

“····Levi.”

“… Huh?”

There is only one reason why my mind is always clear.

It was because of the shocking story Levy told me.

When I look at the bonfire in the cave, or when I receive Elsa’s greeting when she wakes up.

Eating breakfast, riding a wolf, and talking with Taeho.

To say my mind was clear is a misnomer. Sean’s mind was bound there from the moment he heard Levi’s story.

“My grandmother… Then I…”

Sean hadn’t even imagined that Yennefer wasn’t his grandmother.

Her father was lost even before she was born, and her mother died while giving birth to her.

Sean believed the story his grandmother told him when he was little.

“····Shawn. I understand you’re confused. Let’s just forget After all, it’s all over now, isn’t it?”

Levi may be right. Even if Yennefer was not her blood relative, she lived by Sean’s side as her grandmother until she died.

If Levy hadn’t read her own memories, she would have lived her whole life without any problems. If you just forget about it, if you dismiss it as something that never happened.

“How could that be?”

That is impossible. Erasing the facts you already know.

She’s never going to stop loving her. Whatever the truth, it’s clear that her grandmother was the most precious person to Shawn.

Sean just wants to know. A secret he’s been hiding all this time.

He didn’t even know his true self.

“Shaun. I’m not sure I know everything either. I didn’t realize the truth, I just read your memories from when you were a baby.”

“Tell me. Because anything is fine.”

Levy turned her side to her and stared at Shawn. She then opened her mouth and then she started talking.

“Shaun. You were born far away, not in our village.”

The story of her continued for a long time after that.

***

“Is it finally finished?”

Three days since I returned to the forge. Sean rushed to Tae-ho’s call and stood in front of him.

After that, Elsa and Levi were also together. In particular, Elsa, who will also receive the shield, could not hide her excitement.

“First is the shield.”

Taeho raised his shield with a restrained attitude.

It was less flashy than Elsa’s previous shield, but it was much heavier and harder.

“The one I used before was shiny on the outside and dirty on the inside. You can feel it when you try it.”

“Thank you. Old man.”

“Huh. I didn’t do it for you, I just did it for the value of my name.”

Taeho immediately turned his gaze to look at Sean.

“Your turn is next.”

“Yes.”

“If I had to tell you in advance, what you wanted was to fix the sword, not a new sword, so the appearance won’t change much.”

“It’s okay.”

“Then it should be fine. It was a masterpiece that was too much for a kid like you.”

Sean gulped at her.

“Now, take it.”
