Childhood Friend Is a Genius Wizard

EP2. At the end of the day (6)

Colin’s Inn.

This was a typical example of a rural village inn, quiet and always empty of guests.

Thanks to that, it was difficult to earn money normally, but it was different recently.

This is because a retired driver who came to the village temporarily stayed at the inn and gave him quite a bit of money, and even after he left for a while, fortunately there were two long-term guests.

And one of them was pouring alcohol at the tavern on the first floor attached to the inn, even though it was far from dinner time. His name is William. He was an adventurer

It was a very familiar scene to see him like this. For a month from the moment William came to town, he had been drinking all day and night.

In fact, it was understandable that he was drinking so much. There was nothing else to do in this small town.

William sojourned in this town and wandered everywhere he could, but there were no establishments that would interest him. Even that common spearman was not here, so he was on the verge of death.

Why on earth? Originally, this village would have stayed for only a day or two and had to leave immediately after completing simple maintenance. He had already arrived in Laes and should have been working as an adventurer.

But his party, Tina, told him that he had to stay in the village for a while. It was not an invitation or a request. It’s just a one-sided notice.

William protested, and when she still refused to give in, he begged her to at least explain her reasons.

However, despite such an earnest request, she did not even tell me the proper reason. Even now, a month later. If Tina hadn’t been a great adventurer, if she hadn’t been a bit ordinary in her appearance, William would never have waited.

Yes. William has a dark lust for Tina. But even now, even after they acted together, she didn’t give up even the slightest gap. It’s absurd to say that after that, you talk like this like an order and then leave it like this.

So William has been following Tina for the past few days. To find out what the hell is her reason for staying in this town.

But he couldn’t find anything special about her. Tina is just relaxing at her quarters or walking around town, and when her little boy comes back from the woods, she spends time with him.

Tina is just hanging out with her little boy! Of course, she saw her snooping around her place of worship from time to time, but she’s not special at all because she’s a believer in God in the first place.

At least because of a little boy like that, you’ve been stuck in a corner like this for a month. He wanted to ask Tina what she was saying, but she couldn’t because she expected her reaction when he did.

If it were her, she would surely use that as a pod and say that it went well, and that she should stop accompanying her now. So he gave up and pursued other things instead.

If she’s not Tina, wouldn’t she be someone else? Although there is no Changgwan in this village, there must be one or two young wives and children. And William was confident that he would be able to bake a young woman in a rural village like this.

However, William’s prediction was completely wrong. Firstly, there were virtually no young women in the first place, secondly, all those women had already married, and thirdly, the village itself did not welcome them very much in the first place.

Just when he was about to give up on everything, William made a discovery. She is more beautiful than her Tina. It was the first time William had seen such a beautiful appearance.

Of course, the girl he had met the other day was as good looking as she was, but William didn’t feel that way about the little girl. But she was different. She was the only thing in this boring town that excited her.

But even that gave up after a while. Because she noticed that he was her priest. William immediately gave up on her. Even though she was superstitious, she had no desire to be cursed by the gods.

Through it all, William gave up everything about the town and spent his time drinking at the inn.

Not anymore. He will no longer be stuck in this town. William decided to leave town the next day, leaving Tina behind. And.

It’s not fun to just leave. He made a little plan.

***

Sean finished hunting and headed to the inn.

Normally, after he finished hunting, he would have dinner with Joe and head straight home, or the village chief’s house, but today was different.

It’s because I didn’t have dinner with Joe today. It turns out that today is originally Joe’s regular patrol day outside the town.

Sean wanted to follow the patrol too, but Joe wouldn’t let him. He said that in the woods he could protect him when he was by his side, but outside the village even he himself could not predict everything.

I ended up leaving the woods a little early without having dinner with Joe.

Even if I wanted to have dinner with Levi, at this time, Levy would have already eaten with the chief.

It was too much trouble to go home and eat, so today we decided to just have a meal at the inn.

Since I was moving my body behind the inn, I felt a little chilly.

It seems that winter is coming at some point. I didn’t know time was passing so quickly.

Winter. Levi liked winter.

To be more precise, she liked her snow in the winter.

When the snow piled up, the two of them always made a snowman and had a snowball fight, playing to their heart’s content that day.

Sean didn’t like cold winters, but winters aren’t as bad as spending time with Levi. I felt that.

When I arrived at the inn with such nonsensical thoughts, Maya, who managed the inn, greeted Sean.

“Ah, that’s Shawn. Be glad. But aren’t Levi and the chief coming?”

“Yes, I happened to be eating alone today.”

“Aha, really? Come on, have a seat. You must be very hungry.”

While talking like that, someone came down from the second floor. It was Tina.

Tina asked as she came down and she was surprised to find Sean at the inn.

“Oh, what happened to Sean?”

“I’m here for dinner.”

Tina was pleased with Sean’s answer.

“Oh, that’s great. I was about to eat dinner right now. How about eating together?”

There was no reason for Shawn to turn down Tina’s offer. So the two decided to have a meal together.

After Tina stayed in the village for a month, the two quickly became friends.

It’s because Sean, who always longed for her adventurer, let her guard down and became friendly to her after knowing that Tina had a good personality.

Tina didn’t bother Sean either, and she rather welcomed him.

The two talked while eating delicious food prepared by Maya.

The subject of the story started with Tina’s adventure story. After that, Sean also told me about the hunt he had today.

The story between the two of them was getting more and more ripe. Tina had so much fun talking to Sean like this, just the two of them. Tina, feeling better, wanted to feel more of it. She ordered a bottle of alcohol. Tina poured her drink into her own glass and she said to Sean.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t give it to Shawn. Sean isn’t old yet.”

“I have no intention of drinking either. By the way, Tina seems to like alcohol.”

At that, Tina replied with a big smile.

“I don’t drink alcohol that often. To be honest, I’m a bit on the weak side.”

Like she said, even though Tina had only had one drink of hers, she already felt her drunkenness creeping in.

Normally, she didn’t like this feeling, but today, for some reason, it seemed that only a pleasant feeling remained after drinking.

They continued their conversation like that.

As we talked like that, the topic that came up this time was about Levi.

“So Levi…”

“Oh, really? Levi doesn’t think she would do that?”

“It’s just acting in front of Tina. How many pranks she plays in front of me.”

“But you like it, right? Levi.”

Tina’s sudden words made Sean spit her stew.

“What are you talking about?! To say you like me, we’re just friends…”

“Whoops, it’s hard to find a girl as pretty as Sean or Levi anywhere else, right? She never knows what will happen when she grows up if she doesn’t act fast.”

Sean wanted to retort, but he couldn’t say anything. He knows himself

Obviously, as time goes by, Levi will become even prettier. But will she be okay? She said they would continue to live in this town anyway.

But what if another man shows up? She appears and confesses to Levi, and if Levi accepts it…

Since Sean’s reaction was worse than he thought, Tina felt it was not a good idea to bring the subject up any further.

“Ah! Come to think of it, Levi always carries a book, right? She carries it around all the time. Can you tell me what the book is?”

Normally, she wouldn’t ask such a personal question, but Tina, who was already drunk, hurriedly skipped over her subject, but rather touched her sensitive subject.

Sean pondered for a moment. Because he knew he shouldn’t be alone in deciding whether it would be okay to tell him this.

This question is for only Levi to answer. But Sean already knows that Levi has been practicing magic for a month and has been caught by some villagers.

Chief, Riel’s sister, Paulo’s grandfather, and Shawn’s only three cases.

Maybe adding one more person wouldn’t be a big problem. And wasn’t she, the one I’ve seen during this month, a good person to keep these secrets. Sean stopped thinking about it.

In the end, Sean revealed Levy’s secret to Tina. The identity of the book the girl had and the results achieved through it.

Tina felt like she was sober at Sean’s words.

What a magic! That little girl is a wizard!

Sean pleaded with her surprised Tina.

“Tina, what you just said is a secret. Definitely, don’t tell anyone. Got it?”

“Yes! Sure. I will carry this secret to the grave. Suck.”

Sean was relieved by her assertion. Complacently.

Just as we had finished talking like that, Colin came over and said.

“Sir, it looks like we need to clean the tavern now. And Sean is still young, so you better go home early.”

Seeing that you said that, it seems like a lot of time has already passed. The two of them agreed with Colin’s polite yet firm words and decided to stop eating.

When Shawn left the inn, the moon had already set.

I need to go home and sleep.

***

With Sean leaving, Tina slowly went upstairs. Although she staggered up, perhaps because of her drunkenness, she couldn’t control her body properly. Tina went into her own room as she was. The door to her room was unlocked.

‘Oh, did I come down without locking the door?’

Tina has trouble remembering her because of her drunkenness.

Upon entering her room, she noticed one thing about herself. She was a glass of water on the table. It was full of water. Once Tina carefully locked the door, she approached the table.

‘That’s strange. Did I get some water and leave the room?’

Tina took a moment to carefully check the water in her glass. No matter how hard she looked, the clear color and no smell seemed dangerous.

‘Hmm, did the innkeeper let you drink?’

But no matter how drunk she was, she wasn’t so vigilantly careless as to drink something suspicious like this.

Even if the innkeeper had prepared her, she didn’t know, so she left the water as it was and lay down on the bed.

As she lay on her bed, she remembered the conversation she had just had with Sean. And she muttered to herself.

“No way, I thought the book Levi was holding was a magic book… Besides, I had no idea she could even use magic. Could she be the kind of genius she’s only been told about?”

Tina wanted to continue her thoughts for a while, but she suddenly felt her eyes get heavy and she gradually darkened her mind. Tina was the last thing she thought.

‘I didn’t drink this much.’

***

As she lay on the bed, the sound of her breathing became steady.

After some time has passed.

Slowly.

Someone crawled out from under the bed.

It was William.

He had a plan.

Tina returns from her dinner and threatens to pounce on her while she sleeps.

For that plan, she even drank the medicine she bought with expensive money the other day, but the original plan was pretty twisted.

She didn’t drink what she prepared herself.

Originally, William tried to flee her village before she woke up in the morning after committing the crime.

Even if the plan goes awry, the current situation isn’t too bad. No, it was rather good.

I heard Tina talking to herself.

As planned, I should have started working right now, but I decided to just leave the room.

Looks like he’s been drinking, so I thought about giving it a try.

That’s not a good idea. If she just woke up, a lot of things would get messed up.

The next day, everyone in the village will hear the news.

The sooner he knows what he’s going to do, the better his chances of success will be.

William listened to Tina and already made a better plan.
