Childhood Friend Is a Genius Wizard

EP2. At the end of everyday life (5)

A month has passed since Luke left.

Meanwhile, Sean continued to learn hunting from Joe. As he learned to hunt like that, Sean became a fairly skilled hunter, even if not the best hunter in the world. It must have been because Shawn had a talent for hunting.

Sean had pretty much decided who to eat lunch and dinner for this month.

Dinner was always eaten with Joe after hunting, and lunch was usually eaten with Levy and the village chief as the three of us, but sometimes Tina joined in and ate as the four of us.

Yes. Time passed, but Tina and her companion, William, did not leave town. Epinel told her that after Tina did some maintenance in town, she was going to head straight to Laes.

Sean asked Tina directly, but she avoided her answer.

In the end, Shawn didn’t know why Tina was still in town.

As the time spent hunting with Joe increased, the time spent playing with Levi decreased.

Of course, the desire to continue playing with Levy was like a chimney, but Sean had a goal.

Sean planned to follow in Joe’s footsteps as the village hunter. So he wanted to be an adult who took on a full-fledged role, not just a child.

If that happens, he will be able to protect Levi for the rest of his life. Sean thought so.

It’s obviously sad that he has less time with Levy, but Sean values the time he has been given and does his best to spend time with her.

I wonder if Levy knew Sean’s feelings, but Levy, who would normally have been whining and whining, didn’t say much these days.

As time with Sean decreased, Levy had more time alone. And Levy devoted that time to reading her magic book.

Although Levy hasn’t been able to use new magic yet, as a result of hard practice, Levy has been able to handle fire magic even better.

As a result, when Sean and Levy met, Levy was always busy showing off his magic.

***

Currently, Sean is heading to the place of worship.

Because Paulo needed herbs.

Sean, who knew that Paulo’s back was still bad recently, unilaterally notified that he would go and get some herbs and left.

Of course, Paulo said he would go himself, but he couldn’t stop the stubborn boy.

Come to think of it, it’s been quite a while since I went to see Riel noona. Thought Shawn.

That’s also true, because Shawn, who usually doesn’t get hurt much, rarely had to visit Lielcia. He doesn’t even go to the chapel to pray.

In the first place, Sean was burdened by Rielcia’s interest in her, so unless Levy was dragging him, he didn’t go to see her much.

With that thought in mind, Sean arrived at the chapel before he knew it.

As soon as she saw Sean, who was visiting her, Elsia Lee, who was at the chapel, was surprised as if she hadn’t expected it at all, and she welcomed her very much.

“Oh! Finally, our Sean came to visit this sister! Are we going to be together for the rest of our lives like we promised? Got it?”

“What are you talking about? You never promised anything like that in the first place.”

Of course, he promised that, but the target was not Lee Elcia.

“Whoops, is Sean always cute?”

Ugh. At that, Sean put on an expression as if he had chewed something.

‘How cute. Those words are suitable only for Levi.’

Shawn didn’t even respond to his words, but Lielcia didn’t want it too much, so she immediately moved on.

“So what did our Sean do here?”

“I’m here to get some herbs for Grandpa Paulo.”

“Aha, you came to get it. I’m at home, so would you like to follow me for a while?”

In this place of worship, there was a small house in the back for Lielcia, who was staying alone.

Sean followed Lielcia toward the house.

Lielsia’s house was a little on the small side, so the inside was full.

If anything stood out among them, it was the books. Her house was full of books that were difficult to even look at. Of course, Sean’s house also had some books, thanks to her grandmother, but she didn’t have as many as Lielsia.

When Sean entered Lielsia’s house, he felt the scent of her tickle his nose, which he could smell when she was next to her.

Lielsia used to prepare Sean and Levy for a delicious meal here. Sean, who liked her cooking, if nothing else, felt hungry for some reason as soon as he entered the house.

Lee Elsia showed her herbs that she was drying and she said to Sean.

“These are the herbs Mr. Paulo needs. But rather than using it as it is, making it into medicine is much more effective, so could you wait a moment? It won’t take too long.”

There was no reason for Shawn to turn it down, even though it said it would make the effect better. Shawn nodded and said.

“Then can I look at the book in the meantime?”

At those words, Rielsia smiled and said.

“Oh, of course. Everything here is our Shawn’s free to do as he pleases. Even this older sister. Whoops.”

Sean lightly ignored Lielcia’s confession and headed straight for her bookshelf.

He picked up one of the books on the shelf and checked the title.

What book is this? My sister is a priest, so it seems like a book about God, but Sean couldn’t tell if it was just a novel or a book about theology.

I was going to ask what this book is about, but I don’t think it’s necessary to talk about things that aren’t very important to her as she concentrates on making her medicine.

Sean decided to just read it and find out for himself, and opened the book.

[It must be a premise that everyone knows that there are various gods in this world.]

He realized from the first sentence that this book was not for him. Because Sean had only ever thought that there was only one God.

In the first place, there was no need to know God in detail in this small town, so it was not too strange not to know.

Anyway, Sean decided to keep reading.

[However, so many different gods cannot directly interfere with this land, because the world was created in the beginning and they negotiated a ‘continuance agreement’.]

Writing was becoming increasingly difficult. Just because Sean can read doesn’t mean he can understand all of it.

Can’t interfere? World in the beginning? A pact of survival?

The words and meanings were too difficult for Sean, who was still young, to understand.

Wouldn’t it mean that the gods can’t do much more than they thought, even if they wring their heads out?

I was just guessing.

Sean seriously contemplated whether she should stop reading this book, but since she had nothing to do, she decided to read it again.

[Therefore, it is an unchanging truth that gods can only intervene in a limited way through believers. However, there was a limited space where even such gods could fully participate. That place is the ‘resting place of the gods’.]

In the end, I gave up on understanding the contents of the book. Sean thinks this book is partly made to pick out difficult words and get into trouble.

As Sean put the book on the bookshelf, Lee Elcia came over to Sean, making her medicine.

“Okay, it’s all done. So, did you enjoy the book?”

“No. It was just too difficult and not fun at all.”

At Sean’s blunt words, Lielcia smiled and asked.

“Oh, that’s how smart Shawn would say. What book did he read?”

“I don’t know. I think I forgot everything already. Oh but sister I have a question, can I ask?”

“Of course. What are you curious about about this sister? I can tell you anything.”

Sean persisted in asking her own questions despite Riel Shea’s mischievous reaction.

“Are there multiple gods?”

“You were curious about that? That’s right. There are many gods, and each has its own role.”

“Role? Then what is the name of the god your sister serves?”

“Well. Even this older sister doesn’t know that?”

Sean couldn’t understand her words. He doesn’t know the name of the god he serves, does that make sense?

As if recognizing Sean’s feelings, Lielcia gave Sean an additional explanation.

“God doesn’t give names to people. You just know the role.”

“Is it important to know the role?”

“Simply put, a god who plays a role in war is called a god of war, a god who plays a role in beauty is a god of beauty, and a god who plays a role in luck is called a god of luck. You call it like this.”

“Then what kind of role is your sister’s God?”

At those words, Lee Elsia stopped what she was saying and looked at Sean for a moment. And she said softly.

“····Prophecy.”

“Prophecy?”

“Yes. The god my sister worships is the god of prophecy.”

The god of prophecy. In fact, I had no idea what it felt like. What role does the Spirit of Prophecy play?

If you make a prophecy. What? To whom?

Actually, it was more of a shock to Shawn that he didn’t know the name of God. He must be a god he will serve for the rest of his life, but isn’t it a bit odd to not even know his name?

“So you have no way of knowing God’s name?”

“Whoops, our Shawn. Do you have a lot of questions? God’s name can only be known by the chosen apostle.”

“Apostle?”

An unknown word appeared again. The knowledge of God is so vast and complex. Looking at it now, the mischievous girl standing in front of him might be a greater person than he thought. I thought.

“Yes. God has many people who serve him, but only one chosen by God among them is called God’s Apostle. Such an apostle receives a portion of the power of a god, and uses a power that fits the role of a god that is completely different from that of ordinary people.”

Oh, in fact, even if I didn’t fully understand what my sister said, I seemed to understand it roughly. Doesn’t that mean that those who are chosen by God become stronger! It seemed to mean that he would not simply become stronger, but receive godlike power.

“Then, then, the apostles of the god of war are good at war?”

“Right, maybe he didn’t have the strength to fight well? And the Apostle of Fortune will be overflowing with luck, right?”

Awesome. There were also things like this. Sean seemed to know a little about the world he didn’t. Then what about the apostle of the god she serves?

”Then what can an apostle of the God of Prophecy do?”

At that, Lee Elsia seemed to think for a moment, then said to Sean.

“Well. This older sister is not an apostle of prophecy, so I don’t know much about that. If you’re curious about it, wouldn’t it be possible to find out if you become an apostle yourself?”

“An apostle? ····Hmm. That’s not allowed.”

“Why not? Wouldn’t it be bad to serve God together with your sister? You and I are together every day.”

“No! Anyway, no.”

Of course, the role of God, especially being an apostle, gave Sean strong interest and stimulation, but he had no intention of becoming an apostle, unless it was simply serving God.

After all, if she became an apostle, she wouldn’t be able to marry like Rielsia.

That shouldn’t be the case. She actually didn’t think much of it, but she did anyway, because she herself would get married later.

Lee Elsia looked cutely at Sean, who shook her head, and when Sean seemed to have finished his actions, she said.

“So, do you have any more questions? If anything, I could tell Sean all of my sister’s unspeakable secrets.”

“Hmm, no. Grandpa Paulo will be waiting for you, so I’m going now.”

“Hey, why did Sean become so heartless? It seems like only yesterday when you would follow me and ask me to hug you.”

“I never asked for a hug!”

Lee Elsia didn’t know if she heard Sean’s cry or not, she tried to hug him one last time before he left.

Sean tried to run away from Liel Shea, but in the end, she was caught by her hand and she had to feel the suffocation of her breath.
