Childhood Friend Is a Genius Wizard

EP7. Civil War in Laes (4)

“Put away your sword and step back.”

Hector’s sword began stabbing Gania’s neck slowly.

Gania stood still for a moment without saying anything. A sharp blade stabbed her throat.

I wonder if Hector recognized himself now? Gania wasn’t sure.

Thanks to Levi’s magic, she hides her figure, but there’s no way he won’t recognize her voice.

But if he noticed… Does that mean she’s holding her sword to her throat even though she knows it’s her?

Gania was curious about his expression behind her. At least there wasn’t a hint of hesitation in his voice.

“One last warning. Put away your sword and step back.”

“········.”

She finally obeyed Hector. When the blade fell off, Dios unconsciously stroked his neck once. She pretended to be relaxed, but it was because she was worried that she would just kill herself.

Even though the invisible man fell, she did not retrieve the sword that stabbed her throat.

He continued in a cold, unchanging voice.

“Don’t look back. Get on her knees and raise your hands.”

“····Stop it! You go there.”

A girl who suddenly appeared without any sign in the air, where no one else was, said to Hector.

Dios immediately noticed who the owner of the blonde emerald eyes and beautiful appearance was.

“····You dare four years!”

Despite her baron’s wrath, Levy said, looking at Hector alone, unconcerned.

“Please stop and lower your sword.”

The girl’s lovely appearance and her soft voice were not intimidating, but Hector, knowing full well how destructive power the outstretched palm of her hand could wreak, meekly drew her sword.

“····I don’t understand English. Why are you aiming for an ambush? Levi, . . . Gania.”

Of course, Hector had already realized the identity of the invisible assassin.

There’s no way I can’t remember the voice I’ve heard every day for nearly ten years. Her

There is no way you wouldn’t know her who has been with her every day like her family.

“I don’t know, so I ask!? It’s the only way to stop this war!”

“The war is already irreversible. Enemies will attack this place soon.”

“No. As long as the Baron is passed in time, there will be no war. Therefore····.”

At her words, Dios, who had been listening to their conversation, interjected.

With very unpleasant laughter.

“Ha ha ha! Are you sure you believe it now?”

“Shut up. I have no intention of being dragged around by your words.”

“Gania. Like such a stupid woman. Do you really think Dordan will stop the war if I get arrested?”

“········.”

“He is hungry for blood and war. Like an ignorant adventurer, they are trying to hijack power through the fear of war and rule this city with fear.”

Dios exclaimed confidently, as if there was no doubt in his claim.

“To this guy, today’s war is just a great opportunity to let people know about his strength. ····How is it? Do you think I am wrong?”

“····So what? Then what to do! This is the only way left for me…! Only this…”

Gania eventually returned to being a weak girl who only loved her hometown.

Seeing that, she, Hector, she unconsciously stretched out her hand, but she forced herself to stop.

Levi’s pitiful gaze turned to Gania, who bowed her head. And her baron’s sneer attacked her mercilessly.

“Ha. I’m so pathetic I can’t watch it. Hector.”

“Yes.”

“Kill them both.”

Dios gave the order so carelessly as if to empty the garbage.

Hector was silent. After a brief pause, he replied:

“Impossible.”

“····What? What did you say just now?”

“That wizard girl is stronger than me. If she uses her magic to defend herself, she will lose me.”

“You say you lose…? In a fight between a swordsman and a wizard, the swordsman would have the advantage. That is, if you are a skilled person like you.”

Hector nodded her head obediently, but she contradicted him.

“Generally yes. It’s okay if the wizard cuts it with a sword while chanting. However, she knows how to use chant-free magic.”

“Are you asking me to believe it now? That little boy uses incantation magic?”

Hector gave Levi a very brief glance. Levy, standing still, realized what his glance meant, closed his eyes, and used the magic he could cast as quickly as possible.

The magic she used for the first time in her household and the most used.

Less than a second after Levy closed her eyes, a ball of fire the size of the girl’s head was created in her palm. Hector said to Dios, who was shocked to see her.

“I can’t beat her to her.”

It was the truth. No matter how much Dios tried her best, Hector couldn’t come up with a way to defeat such a monster. He asked carefully after a while.

“…Then what are you going to do?”

“It’s best to just let it go. Let’s pretend it didn’t happen here.”

“Do you think that makes sense? If they go against Dordan, we’re out of luck!”

To be precise, it wasn’t because of them, but because of that one girl.

In response to the baron’s rebuttal, Hector instead asked a question.

“Then what are you going to do? As I said, I cannot kill them or bind them.”

“… Are you saying that now!?”

“In the first place, the moment the two of us invaded this office without being caught, there was no way. To be precise, it could be said from the point of turning the wizard into an enemy.”

“·······.”

In the end, Dios turned his back and sat down in the chair, laughing as if he had lost his mind.

It was practically a silent agreement, so this time Hector proposed to the women.

“As you have heard, even if the baron is captured and sacrificed, the war will not be prevented.”

“····But it’s better than not trying.”

Despite Levy’s rebuttal, Hector shook his head and firmly denied it.

“What Dordan wants is a show of strength. If the baron is gone, our morale will be broken and it will be a one-sided slaughter. Casualties will increase.”

“·······.”

It was a situation that was really on all sides. No matter what choice was made, it seemed that there was no way to stop the war in the end.

No matter how hard they struggle, will the future of Laes end in war?

From noble mtl dot com.

“Go back.”

“·······.”

Eventually, Levi left her office with her Gania on her back.

The girl looked at the wolf for the last time. Even as Levi, who was called a genius, she couldn’t perfectly read her mind of Hector. All I could tell was that his eyes were sunken low.

***

After Kania’s visit, Shawn returned and was waiting for the two women.

Sean believed in them wholeheartedly. Please stop the war and return to the majesty.

However, the news I heard was not the news of victory, but the bitter news of defeat.

“I’m sorry. I couldn’t bring the baron.”

Sean was also disappointed by Levy’s gloomy words, but tried to cheer her girl up by speaking up.

“No, it’s okay. There must be another way. There is still some time left before sunset…”

“····Sorry, Shawn. . . . I don’t think we can stop the war.”

Sean realized what Levy said.

The girl didn’t just spit out pessimistic words out of depression over her failure.

She wasn’t fed up with her defeatism for no reason.

Levy was just calmly predicting the future. And the girl’s prediction was not easily offended.

“I see.”

Shawn turned his head to find another woman. Gania was sitting with her knees on the bare floor and buried her head in it. When she sees her body moving sometimes, she probably…

The situation was the worst. War would be an unavoidable predetermined destiny.

Shaun looked at the girl in front of him. Levy was overcome by her sense of helplessness over the fact that she had failed to stop the war. Sean gently stroked Levi’s hair.

“Levy. Great job.”

“····Shawn. I couldn’t stop the war.”

“It’s okay. Did you try If it still fails, it can’t be helped.”

“But…”

“I’m glad you’re safe.”

I don’t know why. However, at Sean’s last words, Levy’s tears welled up in her eyes.

Levy struggled to stop the water droplets from suddenly flowing from her eyes. But the more she cried, the more she cried.

“····Go, why are you doing this all of a sudden? Sorry····. Please don’t look…”

“Okay. I won’t see you.”

Sean agreed to Levy’s request. The boy hugged the girl and stroked the back of her head.

The girl’s cries completely broke out at that kind consolation. Levi sobbed and buried her head in Sean’s chest.

It’s been such a long time.

“Me, I didn’t mean to do this. ····Forget. Got it?”

“Okay. Do you think that would be difficult?”

Seeing Sean’s deft answer, Levy finally burst out laughing.

Seeing that the girl had calmed down, Sean then approached the woman who needed comfort.

Even though she must have heard the boy’s footsteps, Gania kept her head buried like her ponytail.

“Gania. Why are you doing that?”

“·······.”

“Your current appearance doesn’t look like Gania at all.”

“・・・・Not like me? What is down to me? Know what you are… This is my true self.”

Even at Gania’s words, Sean didn’t give up and refuted without hesitation.

“No. Gania’s real face is not like this. I know you’re having a hard time right now. I know she will definitely get over it and come back to her original self.”

“····It’s noisy. Just go tell me to leave right now As an outsider who has nothing to do with our city…”

“····As a child, my dream was to be an adventurer. One day a merchant came to the village and said. A monster suddenly appeared and invaded the city of Raes.”

Gania did not react. However, Sean didn’t care and continued to talk about the somewhat outrageous past.

“I said it at the same time. Adventurers are flocking to defeat the monsters. That’s how Laes became a city of adventure. I always remembered my dream whenever I heard news of Laes.”

“·······.”

“Gania. This city is like my dream itself. Although it was different from what I imagined, it is still a city of adventure, and it is the Laes I dreamed of. So I am not an outsider.”

“…That’s bullsh*t.”

“Yes. That’s right. That’s bullsh*t. What I want to say is. Laes is as precious to me as it is to me, but how precious is it to Gania, who was born and raised here? . . . So don’t give up.”

“·······.”

“Isn’t it too early to give up? It’s never too late to try everything until you really try and then give up.”

“·······.”

Gania did not wake up. However, Sean, who desperately believed that she had overcome everything, began attacking her with different contents.

“You know what? Mr. Kania woke up.”

“When?”

“When Mr. Gania entered her mansion. She came to see me.”

“····My sister will hate me. Because she’s an ugly little sister who can’t do anything…”

“I talked to Mr. Kania. He said this.”

‘You can’t be a great adventurer. . . . Wouldn’t it be like a great older sister?’

‘····I assure you. Kania-san is the greatest sister of all.’

‘Huh, even empty words feel good. But in fact, it is natural.’

‘Why?’

‘That’s right…’

She is the older sister of the greatest sibling.

Sean carefully held her cheeks and lifted her head.

Gania’s face, which had been buried and hidden in her lap, was already covered with tears and was quite ugly.

“Stop crying. When she goes to meet Kania-san, shouldn’t she go with a pretty smile as usual?”
