Chapter 27 – Decision
“Magic! Teach me magic!”
Hennie smiles brightly with sparkling eyes.
The dreamy girl’s smile was very nice to see, but Jun was more worried than happy.
It wasn’t just him.
“Henny, is that why you came here so early in the morning?”
“Did you dream of becoming a wizard while you were sleeping?”
“Heh, Henney can do it.”
“…”
Linda, Donald, Harry, Leon.
Everyone looked at Henny with an ambiguous smile like Jun.
Did you not like those looks?
Henny puffed out her cheeks as if she was disapproving.
“Why! Why are you making that face? My sisters and brothers think it will be difficult for me to become a wizard!”
Seeing that he said ‘Tao’, it seemed like he had already heard the sermon once from someone else.
Perhaps that someone is her father Robin.
She heard a sermon from her father, but she still insists on becoming a wizard.
Considering Hennie’s personality, it didn’t seem like she would break her stubbornness easily.
That man must be going through a lot of trouble for a while.
“Hey, you little bastard. Do you think it’s easy to become a wizard? Just because you want to be like that doesn’t mean you can become that way.”
Donald, who has a straightforward personality, gave Henney a warning.
Although the expression was a little harsh, it was just the right advice.
Unlike a knight, who can one day become a wizard if he works hard, no matter how hard he tries, he can never become a wizard if he does not have talent.
This is because the magic core, which is a prerequisite for becoming a wizard, is developed solely through mana affinity.
It is not just a story about magic core.
Like magic cores such as elemental power cores and main cores, most of the externally emitting cores that were installed in the middle and middle battles had these characteristics.
Please note that this does not apply to cores made with power borrowed from someone, such as holy power cores or magic cores.
It was possible to cover up talent with expensive elixirs and breathing techniques, but the efficiency was close to extreme.
Anyway, for these reasons, it was safe to say that there was little chance of Henny becoming a wizard.
She was 9 years old.
A child with a talent for magic usually naturally blooms her magic core before the age of eight, so this meant she had no talent for magic.
Besides.
“Kid, you developed your Auror core about two years ago. But now you’re going to bloom the magic core? “Stop being pushy and treat what you have now as precious.”
It was so true that Jun nodded without realizing it.
Donald, this guy is quick-tempered, has a good personality, and has a hot-headed personality, but he doesn’t have a head to think, and he sees reality quite well.
Now that I think about it, I decided to punish Donald’s mouth, which was like a stone on the side of the road, if I returned home safely.
Jun promised that he would use this opportunity to punish him properly and make his mouth a little heavier.
“No! “I’m going to learn magic!”
“I told you not to force yourself! Do you know how much it costs to learn magic! I think Uncle Robin will give me permission!”
“I did it! “They gave me permission last night!”
“… Fuck.”
Donald, who was dazed for a while when he heard that Robin had given permission, immediately twisted her face and swore.
“Black! You swore at me. You cursed at me! “Hmph!”
Henny started crying because she thought he was insulting her.
However, her orphans sympathized with how Donald must have felt due to Henney’s comments earlier, and no one reprimanded him.
‘I’m probably going crazy with envy. Because I don’t have parents who will listen to me.’
Treat what you have now with care.
The words that Donald said to Henney were words that Donald himself had heard years before.
At one time, Donald went to various places to obtain the Auror core.
He once held onto the crotch of Leonard’s pants and cried to Leon to teach him how to do the Auror kite.
However, what came back was Leonard’s harsh criticism and stern rejection, and in the end, Donald had no choice but to give up on the development of the Auror core.
However, Hennie was accepted just because her parents were there.
It would be strange if you weren’t angry.
“Black! Black!”
“… Tch!”
Donald clicked his tongue as he glanced at Hennie, who was crying in Linda’s arms, then put his hands in her pockets, turned his back on her, and started trudging toward the church.
Is it because we lived under the same roof for 10 years, eating from the same pot?
Jun couldn’t leave him alone.
“Henny, I’ll teach you magic. Would you like to come here?”
“… Really?”
Jun smiled softly and nodded his head.
Then Hennie sniffed her nose and came up to him and hugged him gently.
‘This she-cat!’
‘I’ll give you lots of hugs later, so calm down Por.’
Jun, who forgot that she was in the midst of self-reflection and managed to calm down Fortuna, who was angry and angry, looked at her helpless orphans and said,
“Sister Linda, Harry. You two, go quickly and comfort Donald. Leon, you are somewhere else. Even if you go together, it will only make Donald jealous.”
“Yes!”
“Okay.”
Linda and Harry, who deeply sympathized with Donald’s feelings, quickly headed to his side.
“Jun, what are you going to do from now on?”
“Well, I said it out loud, but honestly, I don’t know how to teach you magic at this point?”
“Sniff. “Oppa Jun, did you lie to me?”
In response to Leon’s question, Jun just scratched his head.
Then Hennie, who was burying her face in Jun’s arms, looked up at him with shocked eyes.
Moisture began to build up in my bright eyes again.
Don’t cry, please. You caused all the problems and what if you cry?
Jun equally wanted to cry.
At that time, Leonard’s voice came as if it were salvation.
“Jun, take Henny and go to her house. Robin just sent a message. He asked her to come to his home, so he could prepare her, so he could teach her magic.”
“… Are you preparing ‘that’ as well?”
Are you also prepared to train yourself?
When I asked that meaningful question, Leonard carefully looked at Leon’s eyes and nodded.
“Huh? Are you ready for that?”
Leon looked at Jun and Leonard as if he had no idea.
Since he didn’t want to arouse unnecessary suspicion, Jun put his mouth to his ear and whispered quietly in a way that made it sound meaningful.
“As you know, in order to learn magic, the flowering of the magic core is essential. “I asked if you were ready for that.”
“Oh, I understand. So, can you please stay away? “The face is too close.”
The purpose was achieved.
But when I saw Leon’s red face, I didn’t feel very good.
Why does your nose flutter like that when you ask it to get away?
Jun frowned and pulled away from him.
Then, I felt a vague gaze from below and reflexively lowered my gaze.
“Seup, haha. Ha.”
“…”
Hennie was drooling and looking at Jun and Leon alternately.
Her eyes as she looked at Jun and Leon were no longer those of a dreamy girl.
What are these eyes called? It looks familiar.
Jun thought carefully and eventually remembered what kind of eyes those were.
‘Yes, the rotten eyes of women who are crazy about BL.’
Ever since her younger sister in her previous life was introduced to the BL version of Steel Alchemy
‘I never thought I would become the target of those eyes.’
Jun lamented and fed Hennie some chestnuts.
It looks like it hasn’t rotted yet, so if you pay attention like this, you may be able to revive it someday.
In my previous life, it was too late, and it was impossible, but this time… Will it work?
Jun was not confident because the feminine attributes were like poison to a woman.
‘For now, let’s get as far away from Leon as possible.’
“Boss, then I will go to Uncle Robin’s house with Hennie.”
“Okay. “Don’t bother me too much.”
“Wait a minute, Jun, I’m coming with you.”
“Leon. “You go run my errand.”
“Yes? Yes, I understand.”
As Jun and Hennie left and Leon ran an errand, the backyard instantly became quiet.
Leonard sighed as if he had been idle for a while and approached the three orphans who remained in the backyard, watching them leave.
“Are you jealous of those kids?”
In response to Leonard’s question, Donald lowered his head in exasperation.
Linda bit her lip, and Harry looked her in the eyes and nodded.
“Then let’s pray.”
“Pray?”
“Are you telling us to become church members?”
Leonard said to Linda and Donald, who looked surprised.
“There is no need to envy Henny. Because you too have a father. Even though he cannot be by your side, he watches over you anytime and anywhere.”
“Really?”
“…”
“It looks like you don’t believe it. Well, I understand. I didn’t believe it when it was just you guys. But”
Tuk-tuk
“The moment His power dwells here, in this heart, I naturally came to realize it. Ah, that He is always watching over me.”
Leonard took the two children’s hands and led them to his chest.
The sacred power core roared and radiated divine power.
The two children quietly closed their eyes and enjoyed the warm energy felt at their fingertips.
I felt someone’s warm gaze.
Leonard, who had gently stroked the cheeks of the two children who were shedding tears, made eye contact again with Harry, who was still looking at him blankly.
Unlike the eyes of the two children, who were gloomy from loneliness and deprivation, Harry’s eyes were sparkling with gratitude and happiness.
Leonard was very excited to see what he would say.
“Father.”
“So, do you have a question, Harry?”
“I want to pray for June. “Is that still okay?”
Harry’s voice is full of only truth.
The moment Leonard smiled and nodded his head.
‘He’s such an amazing kid.’
A small ray of sunlight fell on Harry’s chest along with a very small but bright voice that only Harry and Leonard could hear.
