Childhood Friend Is a Genius Wizard - Childhood Friend Is a Genius Wizard chapter 140

EP16. Spear of Cadeus (7)

“Miss Elsa, the ground is shaking.”

“That’s because it’s on the sea, not on land.”

As soon as Sean got on the boat, he was busy feeling the unfamiliar feeling of boarding for the first time in his life. Unlike Sean, who was a little anxious, Levy was admiring the scenery of the vast sea as soon as he boarded the boat.

“Ugh. I feel kind of dizzy…”

“Oops. You haven’t even started yet, are you already getting seasick?”

“Are you sick?”

Sean tried to deny Elsa’s words, but he felt a nauseous vomit welling up inside him.

“Okay then, let’s go!”

As soon as all the crew boarded, Johnny ordered his men to set sail.

“Raise your anchor! The destination is Vitalua!”

“Ooh!”

Watching the subordinates respond to the captain’s cry, Elsa said with a small admiration as if unexpected.

“You must know the rumors, but you are not afraid at all.”

“I told you. If you’re just afraid of this, you’ve changed it a long time ago.”

“Do you know exactly what condition Vitalua is in?”

After thinking about Elsa’s question for a while, Johnny shrugged his shoulders and answered.

“Well, I don’t know the details, but it’s full of monsters. But monsters are enough to the point where you get tired of them while piracy.”

“Why do pirates run into monsters?”

“That’s because all sorts of monsters lurk under the sea or on an uninhabited island. So to speak, a must for a true sea man’s adventure. . . . By the way, older brother, isn’t your complexion a bit unsatisfactory?”

Johnny, who was diligently preaching the pirate’s romance, smiled slightly when he saw Sean’s pale complexion.

“Oh, it seems that Sean hyung-nim of the world can’t help himself in front of seasickness. Well, if it’s your first time on a boat, it might be a natural result.”

Of course, taking that into account, Sean’s motion sickness was quite severe. It hasn’t even been an hour since he departed, but if it’s already like this, it’ll be a bigger deal later.

“To get to Vitalua, you have to cross the deep sea. The deep sea, not the shallow sea, has a fickle climate and strong waves. Will it be much harder than now?”

“····It’s okay. Because it doesn’t matter.”

It was such an obvious lie that no one would believe it. Elsa gave Sean a worried look, and she suggested a plan for him.

“Would you like to go next to Levi and focus your eyes on the sea at the end of the horizon? Then it will be better.”

“Yes. I’ll have to see if Levy is okay.”

Her refusal to acknowledge her motion sickness, using Levi as an excuse until the end, was even stubborn. Seeing her like that, Elsa threw a small laugh and started to look around her and see the pirate ship.

When only the two of them were left, Johnny spoke to Elsa kindly as if he would not miss this moment.

“Sister. Let me guide you!”

“It’s done, so go away.”

“Yes.”

Of course, Elsa kicked Johnny’s heart all too easily.

“Wow…”

Levy, who was staring blankly at the sparkling waves of the sea, was completely relieved of his anger and was busy expressing only admiration.

An endless feast of blue light. The sea itself seemed to be breathing with a huge vitality.

The rustling waves make the boat shake, and the scorching heat of the sun meets the coolness of the sea rising from below to create harmony.

Seagulls chirping in the sky, fish splashing in the sea.

The beauty of the sea that cannot be seen anywhere else. The sea was like a gem with a dazzling, tremendous charm and addiction.

Levi fearlessly sat on the edge of the boat with her legs outstretched to feel closer to the sea.

Then a boy quietly approached the girl.

“Levy.”

Levy, who was reflexively trying to answer Sean’s call, belatedly recalled her current situation and immediately turned her head to the side of her and snorted at her.

“Huh.”

“Are you okay? I’ve heard that the first time you get on a boat, you may get severe motion sickness… Ah, I’m fine, of course, but wow.”

Levi was frightened at the final scream that he heard and turned to her side. Shaun stood with her head down and vomited at her as if she were vomiting blood. After confirming her appearance, Levy immediately put away her angry acting and only shouted urgently.

“Shaun! You can’t die…!”

“What are you talking about? Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

“Shaun!!”

Levy was restless, but then spat out a small exclamation and immediately concentrated his mana and used magic.

A warm magical energy flowed from the girl’s hand and passed down Sean’s back, and soon the dizziness and nausea slowly began to subside.

“Is this…?”

“Thank God! Are you okay now?!”

“Levy. I keep saying, but I didn’t mind.”

“····Isseng. Then, dispel the magic?”

“Sorry.”

Sean immediately decided to bend his pride and humbly admit his weakness.

***

In the evening, there was no special place to eat on the pirate ship, so everyone came out on deck and ate dinner together.

As if they were treating them as VIPs, Sean and his party enjoyed dinner with the captain, Johnny, at the forefront.

“Looking at it earlier, I don’t know about anything else, but alcohol is overflowing.”

“hahahaha, originally, sailors are born at sea and drown in rum.”

When Johnny offered a drink, Elsa accepted it without hesitation and took a sip gracefully.

“Keuuu, your sister drinks alcohol very nicely!”

“Would you like to drink too?”

Elsa, ignoring Jjukkumi’s admiration, asked Sean and Levy a question.

I haven’t touched alcohol since the first time I drank in Elioden.

It’s not that I didn’t like drinking at the time or there was a special reason like that, but I just didn’t have a chance. Neither of them had any particular desire to find a drink.

Looking at the glass he held out, Sean recalled the memories of being drunk and drunk at the time. He wasn’t too drunk himself, but Levy was quite drunk and lost his senses.

I wasn’t aware of it, but now that I think about it, that day was a very important moment. It was the first time Sean opened up to Levy. Even if Levi was asleep and couldn’t hear.

“You seem to have no idea.”

“No. I will eat.”

Receiving the glass Elsa handed him, Sean hesitated for a moment before pouring it into his mouth.

“Hey, brother, you are a man!”

The taste of the bitter liquor torments the mouth and passes down the esophagus. It was a taste I didn’t really like.

After swallowing the drink, Shawn naturally turned his head to his side. It’s time for the sun to set and the sunset to set.

The sunset reflected in the sea was fantastically beautiful. The change in the sea, which was always thought to be blue, was dyed vermilion, aroused admiration.

But even all that beauty couldn’t compare to Levi’s.

Levy, who was sitting next to him and smiled, turned his head when he felt Sean’s gaze.

The beautiful emerald eyes glowed brightly, staring straight at him.

“Why is that?”

“····No. Just because it’s pretty.”

“Oh, right? The sea looks so pretty.”

Levy misunderstood the meaning and clapped his hands while looking at the sea. Sean, who had been staring blankly at the girl, burst into laughter.

“Why are you laughing all of a sudden this time?”

“No, it’s just cute.”

“… Huh?”

Only then did Levy realize that she was the one who said she was cute.

And she realized who the target of the same form of question and answer earlier was also meant.

All of her were her words to her.

Because the most beautiful sight of her to him was her place right where she was.

Fortunately.

Because of the beautiful sunset, the fact that Levi’s cheeks were burning could not go unnoticed.

“Would you like a drink?”

“Good.”

The pirates were busy having fun dancing among themselves to see what was so good.

Watching things like that, appreciating the scenery. The evening passed by taking in the beautiful scenery as a friend.

***

It is night.

It became night for the pirates who sang and danced to snore in their cabins, and the dolphins who boasted of jumping on the surface of the sea to sleep.

It was a dark yet bright night where the sun, which had brightened the world, hid itself to rest, and only the moon and stars took over their roles and illuminated the world softly.

One such night, a woman was out on her deck, staring blankly at the sea.

Her red hair blew to and fro in the salty sea breeze.

“Mr. Elsa?”

“What are you doing when you haven’t slept yet?”

“Is Elsa really not sleeping?”

“She couldn’t sleep at all.”

Rubbing his eyes, Sean climbed onto the deck and naturally moved beside Elsa.

“Levy might misunderstand if he sees this now.”

“Another strange noise. And Levy says she has a crush on Elsa.”

“Is that so? Levi likes me Aren’t you anxious?”

“・・・・Yes? Could it be that Elsa-san, the reason she never dated a man…”

To Sean’s astonishment, Elsa looked at her boy with a small smile.

“Unfortunately, that is not the case. Because I like men.”

“Hmm. Thank god····?”

“Whoops, and I was wrong.”

“Yes? What do you mean?”

When the moon, hiding in the clouds, pokes out its head, the deck was instantly illuminated by the moonlight, allowing Sean to see Elsa’s expression for the first time.

Her eyes, which were always mature, were full of moisture. Sean couldn’t show any reaction to Elsa’s gaze looking at her affectionately.

From noble mtl dot com.

“Because I was in love too.”

“·······.”

“The wind is chilly. Let’s go back first.”

Elsa first turned around and went into her cabin. Sean, who was left alone, stood there for a long time, recalling the tears she had seen earlier.
