Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 221
The youngest son of a famous magician, side story 3.
Behind Larsen’s house, there was a low hill.
It’s a bit big to be called a garden, but a bit small to be called a mountain.
Larsen simply called this the back mountain, and the entire back mountain was owned by Larsen.
Although land prices have become extremely expensive now, it was not that expensive when Larsen purchased it.
It wasn’t his intention, and he wasn’t particularly impressed, but Larsen became a wealthy man.
And this was also a place that Hampton, the servant, was cultivating with all his passion.
Hampton has shown quite a bit of skill in landscaping and gardening.
“Wow, the cherry blossoms are really pretty.”
Kang Min-ji gazed endlessly at the cherry blossom trees in full bloom along the winding road.
The sky was completely blue and dazzling sunlight was pouring down.
“It’s been a really long time since I looked up at the sky.”
Kang Min-ji chatted quietly after meeting her childhood friend.
“I’ve been so busy these days that whenever I lay my head somewhere, I fall asleep.”
“You usually fall asleep whenever you lay your head somewhere.”
“all. “Do you remember?”
“You slept as long as you took the bus. Drooling all over my shoulder.”
“Forget about that?”
“How can you forget that wet thing?”
“I really hate you.”
“Think carefully about who you hated more.”
“I think I’m not fighting because I’m in a good mood right now.”
Kang Min-ji walked slowly, took a deep breath, and spoke.
“I’m really happy after a long time.”
“….”
I knew very well that those words were not pretense.
Kang Min-ji was always honest about her feelings and was not good at lying.
When I said I was happy, I meant that I was really happy.
I can count the times I’ve heard that phrase out of the top five, including when I was young.
“What makes you so happy?”
“You can just chat as much as you like and go for a walk with your friends.”
“….”
“I was really lonely.”
“You said you were lonely?”
I never thought that 19-year-old Kang Min-ji would be lonely.
Kang Min-ji was always surrounded by people and was in the spotlight wherever she went.
“uh! I felt very lonely. But you send me messages like that.”
“….”
“You abandoned me when I was at my hardest and loneliest. “You bastard.”
“…sorry.”
At those words, Kang Min-ji stood still.
He came closer, tilted his head, and placed his hand on Larsen’s forehead.
“Where are you hurting? “Why are you apologizing so obediently?”
“….”
Larsen frowned slightly.
The young Cha Seong-min that Kang Min-ji remembers seemed to be the type of person who was not good at apologizing.
‘but. ‘Because I also had some pride.’
Even though we were in the same grade, we fought for almost 10 years because he didn’t call me oppa.
Kang Min-ji and I fought a lot, and in most cases, Kang Min-ji apologized first.
Thinking about it now, it was a bit strange, but it was like that when I was young.
“it’s okay. You provided me with accommodations with a shower room, and served me warm bread and soup this morning. “Let’s get over it.”
Larsen walked with Minji Kang.
As Kang Min-ji said, the weather was very nice today, and the cherry blossoms fluttering in the wind were very pretty.
“Hey, be careful.”
I caught Kang Min-ji when she almost fell over a rock.
“and. How did you do it? I was definitely about to fall. No, my face was almost touching the ground. But how did you make it happen? Wow, this is really amazing. “You’re so fast!”
Larsen’s reflexes have already surpassed the human realm.
It was a fleeting moment, but Larsen carefully helped Kang Min-ji up.
“Be careful. “You fell even on live TV.”
“Did you see that broadcast…?”
“There was a lot of meme going around.”
Not long after my debut, I had an accident where I fell during a live broadcast.
The video of him finishing the performance with a bright smile on his face even though his knee was scratched and bleeding profusely became quite a hot topic.
“Did you see it in a meme or live?”
“Of course I saw it as a meme.”
“lie.”
Larsen frowned slightly.
“Yes, I saw it live.”
“lol.”
Kang Min-ji seemed to feel a little better after hearing those words.
“boy. “But I guess you watched when your childhood friend was on the air?”
“I didn’t really take care of it.”
“I took care of it.”
“I said no.”
“You took care of it.”
“I only saw it fall. “He fell down so coolly, it was a real explosion.”
“…Can I kill you?”
Larsen chuckled.
‘I used to fall really easily from a long time ago.’
How can a kid like this dance and perform so intensely?
Thinking back, it was truly amazing.
‘I’m a little… excited.’
I wasn’t just excited about reuniting with my first love.
Being with Minji Kang made me feel like I was back in time when I was 19 years younger.
‘It was hard at the time.’
What is the CSAT? It was a very difficult time in many ways.
It was like that at the time, but when I look back, I feel like it was a shining time for some reason.
But then Kang Min-ji spoke first.
“I’m a little excited.”
“what?”
“The weather is so nice. The wind is refreshing too. I even made up with you. We can talk comfortably like this. I’m just so excited about all of this. It feels a bit like I’m dreaming. “It feels like I’m on vacation!”
Larsen chuckled.
‘I guess we feel similar feelings.’
“It was back then. What did you say his name was? Is it Kang Joo-hwan? “You had a fight with him, your nose was bleeding, and you cried.”
“I didn’t cry.”
“Hey, I cried. “You didn’t lose?”
“I won. “What are you talking about?”
Larsen also smiled comfortably and continued walking.
The story of those days was very interesting.
This was the first time I realized how fun selling memories can be.
As we talked about various things, time passed quickly and it was already time for lunch.
“But… can I go back?”
This was a problem Larsen had also thought about.
And I also asked myself a question.
If I could go back, would I go back to Korea?
Minji Kang said.
“Can’t you find a way? “I heard you’re a really great person here.”
“….”
“Let’s go back together!”
Larsen was silent and lost in thought.
‘Do I want to go back?’
The decision had already been made a long time ago. I won’t return to Korea.
Now this is my world and this is where I have to live.
But after meeting Kang Min-ji, that thought was a little shaken.
‘They say that when you get older, you remember your hometown.’
Adults did that.
It’s not for nothing that the word homesick exists.
Perhaps because it was right after we talked about our memories, I felt like the Earth in my memories was a much more beautiful place than I thought.
‘I feel like I secretly miss it.’
* * *
The worst relationship in Larsen’s mansion was, of course, Lydia and Mirang.
The two had a strange relationship.
When things are good, they are extremely good, but when things are bad, they fight to the death.
So the people in the mansion often misunderstood the two as biological sisters.
Yesterday, Lydia and Mirang had a big fight.
Lydia came to Mirang’s room.
Seeing Lydia who came to the room, Mirang raised her tail.
“go away. “I’m not talking to you right now.”
“I don’t want to talk to people like you either!”
“Did you say something like that?”
“What do they call you?”
Mirang growled, raising his tail even more, and flames flickered in Lydia’s body.
The men employed at the mansion hurriedly rang the bell.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
A bell rings three times.
This meant that Mirang and Lydia had started fighting, so we had to evacuate quickly.
If the two fought, somewhere in the mansion was bound to burn or be destroyed.
But today’s Lydia was a little different.
“Let’s truce!”
“Truce?”
“This is not the time for us to be like this. “Now a very powerful enemy has appeared.”
“What kind of bad breath are you talking about?”
“Do I have bad breath?”
Lydia hurriedly covered her mouth and Mirang lowered her voice.
“Is it Ralphon’s older sister or older brother? Did he lead the northern forces and invade?”
“no. “It’s much more dangerous than that.”
“Much more dangerous?”
“Larsen’s first love has appeared.”
“…what?”
My fingernails started growing without me knowing.
Mirang asked back, pretending to be calm, hiding her claws that were sharper than any famous sword.
“First love?”
“I don’t know. It appeared suddenly. “We are still taking a walk together in the mountain behind us.”
“If it’s the mountain behind…”
“Yes! A beautiful back garden maintained by Hampton! You know the atmosphere there is really nice, right? “It’s also full of sunshine.”
Lydia bit her fingernails.
“First love is a bit dangerous.”
“I don’t think it’s time to fight among ourselves.”
“Let’s hold hands.”
Lydia and Mirang held hands.
After shaking hands once, Lydia held out her little finger.
“Let’s not cause any accidents for the time being. “If we have an accident, Larsen might be annoyed with us.”
“yes. and?”
Wouldn’t it be enough to simply avoid accidents?
I thought there must be another reason or suggestion for Lydia to come like this.
However, single-celled Lydia tilted her head.
“…Isn’t it okay as long as you don’t cause an accident?”
“….”
Mirang sighed deeply.
What did you expect from that bright idiot?
After some time had passed, Mirang asked with a fierce attitude.
“What kills?”
Lydia was intrigued for a moment, but shook her head.
“Then Larsen will hate us for the rest of our lives.”
“…it was a joke.”
I don’t think it was a joke?
Lydia wanted to speak, but did not speak.
Because I felt like if I said it again, there would be a big fight.
A lot of progress has been made between the two.
Lydia spoke solemnly, as if she had made a firm determination.
“I guess I’ll have to eat dinner with Larsen tonight. “I will make you a special Lydia-style corn dish.”
* * *
Late at night.
Someone sneaked into Kang Min-ji’s bedroom through the window.
“What a surprise!”
“Shh.”
The person who took off his robe and appeared was none other than Larsen.
“Why are you walking around like a thief in your house?”
“Surveillance has become stricter these days.”
“watch?”
“There is such a thing.”
This evening was pretty bloody too.
Lydia insisted on eating the corn soup she made with him, but Lassen actually didn’t want to eat the corn soup.
Lydia was always confident in her cooking, but the taste was the worst.
‘Why does Mirang keep following me like this?’
Moreover, Zestia’s pampering also increased.
I kept looking for my dad.
My mental age was much younger, but not to this extent.
‘Shinryong’s separation anxiety became worse.’
Shinryong, who always lives as a puppy, developed separation anxiety.
As Larsen left, he kept whining and scratching at the door.
Moreover, Rosalyn, who dances every day, has greatly increased her fighting power and survival skills.
Not only them, but the people around them as a whole became very sharp.
“Let’s sit down and talk first.”
Larsen trudged over and sat down on Kang Min-ji’s bed.
“What are you doing? “He’s not coming.”
“ah? Oh yeah. okay.”
In the same bed? We’re all grown up now.
Kang Min-ji barely swallowed those words and sat down next to Larsen.
