Childhood Friend Is a Genius Wizard - Childhood Friend Is a Genius Wizard chapter 135

EP16. Spear of Cadeus (2)

“My name is Elysia von Valentia. She is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Valentia.”

“If it’s Valentia, city Valentia?”

Sean and Levy, the country boys, also knew where Valentia was.

Like Elioden, it was one of the kingdom’s most famous cities after the capital.

However, if Elioden is famous for its magical city, full of romance, then Valentia is, simply put, a city second only to the capital.

“Yes.”

“…In other words, Elsa-san is the owner of Valentia?”

Elsa shook her head and denied this question.

“Until I inherit the lordship, it’s just his father’s land.”

“After all, you mean Elsa-san will become the lord someday.”

“You don’t know that. Of course, since I am the first, I have the highest right of succession.”

Maybe Elsa doesn’t want to be a lord? Maybe something like that

Other than that, I don’t think of any reason to be an adventurer like this.

“I had no intention of hiding it from you. It’s just that knowing doesn’t change anything, and there are a lot of cases where it’s uncomfortable.”

Shaun and Levy understood her concern. After exchanging glances for a while, the two answered Elsa with a smile.

“A. We don’t care about that.”

“Of course, I was a bit surprised when I first heard it, but since we’ve never been to Valentia in the first place, I don’t really feel it.”

“Whoops, is that so? Please invite me to the manor sometime. Or it would be nice to stop by as we continue our adventure.”

It seems like it was a pretty big secret, but it was just a past history that wasn’t particularly surprising to the two people involved.

“Shall we go to sleep now?”

“Let’s do it. A new journey will begin tomorrow.”

Elsa then got up from her seat and went into her room.

“Oh, would you like me to take the fox?”

“Yes? Why is Kwigi suddenly like this?”

To Levy’s bewildered question, Elsa answered with a mischievous smile.

“Well, this cunning fox might interrupt your sweet time just the two of you.”

“····Don’t say anything strange and go in quickly, right?”

“This is a joke. Sleep well.”

Sean looked at the back of the red-haired woman in disbelief as she left for her room, then looked at Levy and said.

“Why do you keep making such weird jokes, … Levy?”

Sean, who had been complaining to Levy, stopped her and was startled.

It was because Elsa heard her words and let out her sigh as she looked at Kün with her troubled expression on her face.

Seeing that, Shawn naturally thought to himself.

I thought maybe Levy took Elsa’s joke seriously.

“Levy?”

“… Huh?”

“What do you think?”

“Oh, nothing.”

A. Probably not

For some reason, seeing Levy’s slightly flustered attitude, Sean had no choice but to let it go.

I turn off the lights and lie down in bed to fall asleep.

Next to her lying on her bed is Levi. She is in the same bed.

Ah, to be exact, there must be a kyun between Shawn and Levy. It was strange for her to sleep with a fox in bed, but since she said she was a divine beast and not an ordinary animal, is it okay?

Suma came to visit little by little, and Shawn began to fall asleep.

He may have been quite fatigued without even knowing it, but considering the harsh environment of Calderon, it wouldn’t be strange.

I’ll rest well today and say goodbye to the bitter cold tomorrow. Of course, I will miss the scenery from the top of Calderon from time to time.

And I might miss the brusque old blacksmith sometimes.

Someday, when time passes, it wouldn’t be bad to see you again. By the time you return, climbing Calderon Peak will be an easy task that you can do with your eyes closed.

Then let’s meet again and talk. It’s a little lighter, but sincere stories to get to know each other. Looking at Taeho, Sean thought of Paulo. He is an old man who grumbles on the outside but is kind and warm-hearted on the inside.

Yes. Calderon is saying goodbye for a while for today. Please stay healthy until we meet again.

Sean prayed to himself and fell asleep slowly.

It was then.

I felt that Sean’s vision, which had been blacked out as he closed his eyes, suddenly became weakly bright.

Has the sun risen? It wasn’t.

If dawn had come, it would not have suddenly brightened for a moment, but gradually brightened and maintained that state.

Above all, the side the light is directed towards is his left side. It was not to the right of the window, but to the direction of Levy.

Recognizing that fact, Sean immediately opened his eyes.

He immediately turned his head away, anxious that something might have happened to Levi.

Her room was filled with darkness as if nothing had happened, so Sean quietly called her name.

“····Levy?”

No answer came.

From noble mtl dot com.

Shaun frowned, trying to check the blurry shape ahead. He searched for Levi’s figure using only the fine starlight coming through the window as a lamp.

“····Whew.”

Soon he let out a sigh of relief. It was because Levi was dozing in the corner of her bed.

Her posture was a bit messy, like Levy, who has a restless sleeping habit, but she definitely looked fine.

“What is it, is it an illusion…?”

There was a good chance that I was mistaken in my sleep. Sean took one last look at the bed, and he soon noticed something odd.

I couldn’t see the furry friend who was supposed to be on the bed. There was no fox to be found in Levi’s arms or on the empty seat of the soft bed.

I didn’t feel the sign of Kyun getting out of bed. Sean looked around the room, trying to find Kün.

However, it seemed impossible to perfectly examine the room in the dark, so that it was difficult to identify even within the same bed.

As I was guessing where Kün had disappeared for a moment, I heard a small chattering sound from outside.

He listened intently and thought it was probably footsteps. Is it human footsteps?

Shawn turned his head to the window. Suddenly, something was blurry through the window.

At first I couldn’t figure out what it was. Eventually, after some time, Sean murmured.

“…Ears?”

They were white and fluffy, the ears of a beast with a familiar shape.

For Sean, who raised his upper body from the bed, he could only check his ears through the window.

Assuming the general situation, Sean relaxed and was relieved.

Perhaps Kyun has gone out and wandered around.

The only odd thing was that it was impossible for a small fox to have its ears exposed by the window.

That question was also resolved shortly after. Maybe it’s changed The light Shawn felt must have come from the process of Kün’s transformation.

Sean cleared all his doubts and threw himself back into bed. I was really tired now and couldn’t stay awake any longer.

Shortly after he closed his eyes, his breathing became steady.

So tired that Sean didn’t think much deeper.

Why did Kün take risks and transform into a huge wolf instead of wandering around as a fox in a village where people live?

If he really had transformed into a wolf, why did his ears look small and dainty when he looked out the window, not befitting his large size?

Anyway, the trivial commotion in the middle of the night ended in a bland way as Sean fell asleep.

Then the night passed and the morning dawned.

***

“Did you sleep well?”

“Yes. What, maybe?”

Shaun blurted out his answer and naturally turned his gaze to Kün. The fox, licking his fur with his tongue and grooming himself, showed a calm attitude as if nothing had happened last night.

“That answer is a bit vague. Anyway, now we will be heading to a new destination.”

“It’s Vitalua.”

“Yes. Do you know exactly where Vitalua is?”

“Uh… So northwest?”

Elsa nodded her head, but added a more detailed explanation.

“If Calderon, where we are, is the northernmost part of the kingdom, then Vitalua is the farthest northwest. Then do you know what lies beyond Vitalua?”

“What lies beyond?”

Recalling the map Shaun remembered, there was nothing beyond Vitalua.

“Of course there is. It is the vast sea.”

“Of course I know.”

“Huh, you speak quite leisurely. Then have you ever seen the sea?”

Have you ever seen the sea? That’s of course not The two boys and girls who had just left the lake village and wandered around the kingdom after living in the lake village for their whole lives must have seen the sea.

Seeing Sean and Levy shaking her head, Elsa smiled cutely and said,

“You’ll probably be startled when you see it for the first time.”

“A. Exaggerate.”

“Well, you have to see it for yourself to understand.”

Sean let out a small snort. I know at least what the sea is. Because her grandmother told her.

A place where all the water in the world gathers in one place. Mother of all life.

The words were great, but Shawn’s admiration for the sea was dubious.

No matter how many, how many? How wide would it be if it were wide?

When Sean saw the village lake for the first time as a child, he couldn’t contain his admiration. There is so much water! As he did, he stared blankly at the lake for a while.

However, when he was living as a hunter and looked at the lake right before he left the village, his feelings changed.

Is the lake only this big? Of course, it is true that it is wide, but the grandeur of the lake that I felt as a child had faded a lot before I knew it.

The same goes for the sea. It must have been a mixture of exaggerated and inflated sentiments like Sean in his childhood, and praise for the sea.

On the other hand, Levy had a different idea. When Elsa said that she would see the sea, the girl couldn’t hide her anticipation.

“Ocean! Did Elsa see the sea?”

“Of course. I’ve seen it quite often And every time she sees it, she always admires it.”

“How does the sea feel?!”

“Um…”

Elsa thought about how to express herself for a moment, then she smiled and said.

“In other words, it feels like the sky has been moved to the ground. The endless blue sky is connected by water.”

“Wow… Go see it soon!”

“Yes. Let’s go see it now.”

Sean’s party said goodbye to the old man and left the village. When they turned their heads, the majestic Calderon Mountains were sending them off.

The top of Calderon closest to the sky. There, under the stars and sky, a blacksmith who makes weapons for heroes resides.

Shaun continued to look up at the peak of the mountain, feeling somehow unsure. The boy couldn’t take his eyes off him until Levy called Sean.

A new journey.

As Sean walked down the street, he asked Elsa.

“Are you going by carriage again? Are you going to Leboram?”

“No. It will be completely different this time.”

“So what?”

“First we go to Nineveh.”

“Ninevea…?”

It was a somewhat unfamiliar name. Elsa laughed at Levi’s muttering.

“It’s a port city.”

“Aha. . . . Wait, a port city.”

“The quickest way to Vitalua is across the sea from Ninevea.”

Across the sea. That’s what it means.

“Look at the sea. Also ride the boat. It will surely be a valuable experience.”
