All Power Wizard Part 1 Side Story 0()Episode 1
Ep 1. A ghost lives in my house (1)
“I’m all grown up now.”
“Giggles! okay. Master, you will already be ten years old in my year, so it is true that you are all grown up. But, if it means that you no longer need me, then I’m a little disappointed.”
“Why are you sad?”
“Because I want to be by your side even just for one more minute.”
“But there’s no need to follow me to the bathroom…” …
Sir Bolvar.
He’s such a good person that sometimes I feel like he’s more like my father than my own father… … .
I can at least go to the bathroom by myself.
“Yes? Didn’t you ever say that you were scared of going to the bathroom alone at night? “The creaking wooden floor in the hallway sounds like a ghost crying.”
“Are you talking about enemies? “I am not Ruina.”
“I am proud that you have grown up so proudly that you no longer need me, but I also feel a little sad. Sometimes, I wish you could be cute forever. “Do you know how cute he was when he crawled around with an innocent look on his face?”
Oh, that’s right.
You just want to make fun of me!
“Anyway, I can go to the bathroom by myself. So, could you please wait outside?”
“Huh… “
Lord Bolvar pouted at my words.
The sight of him trudging outside with his head down looked so pitiful, but I did not call him out.
I’m all grown up now too.
No matter how late at night you can go to the bathroom by yourself!
“Ugh, my stomach hurts.”
I pulled down my pants and squatted on the floor.
I guess I ate too much for dinner.
It’s all because of Lord Bolvar.
They say that you have to grow at least 5cm taller before entering the Ignit Magic Academy, or that you have to eat a lot of food during your growth period to increase your strength… … .
He forced me to double my dinner size.
Thanks to this, the time I spend in the bathroom has doubled.
Still, that’s not Lord Bolvar’s fault.
I remembered Lord Bolvar’s sullen face and quietly called to him.
“Lord Bolvar. “You know I didn’t tell you this because I hate you, right?”
However, there is no answer.
What, are you upset because I told you I can go to the bathroom by myself?
I’m sure you didn’t get angry and left alone?
“Hey, Lord Bolvar.”
Again, silence.
All I can hear is, wheeeee-ing.
The only sound I could hear was the cold winter wind pounding on the window.
What, are you really gone? … .
Because you don’t need me?
Ugh, for no reason it just makes me feel bad.
“red! But who would be scared? “I can use the bathroom by myself!”
Shake!
“Oh, mom!”
Oh, I almost collapsed on the floor.
Why is this damn door constantly shaking in the wind and causing trouble?
I secured the door with a trash can so it wouldn’t rattle.
This is enough, right?
Ah, I’m sure he’s all grown up.
Why does the hand holding the tissue begin to lose strength little by little?
That’s something I heard from my dad when I was young… … .
‘Surely you said there are ghosts living underground… …
This is because the ghost in the basement came to mind.
okay.
A ghost lives in the basement of our house.
In the basement, there is a kind of warehouse where various antiques and old books that have been passed down from the Ardel family for a long time are piled up.
I’m doing it again.
It was said that a ghost lived in that warehouse.
No one has ever seen it, but they say they hear the cries of a ghost every midnight… … .
And just below the bathroom in the first floor hallway is the warehouse where the ‘ghost’ is said to appear.
“Ugh… ”:
I curse my needlessly detailed imagination.
The face of an underground warehouse ghost I had never seen came to mind very vividly.
Because
I quickly shook my head and opened my eyes.
When I was young, I believed in old stories like that.
Now I’m all grown up.
I am an aspiring ‘wizard’ with a calm and cool-headed outlook who does not blindly believe in absurd superstitions.
But why do the bodies play separately?
“Uh, over there… … Sir Bolvar. “Are you really not there?”
“You’re not kidding, are you? There really isn’t one, right? I’m a little scared… … ”
Hand movements begin to become faster.
Let’s quickly wrap up and get out of here… … .
At that time, the bathroom door began to tap dance due to the sudden wind.
Deuk deuk deuk!
“Ugh! Hey, Lord Bolvar! Isn’t it there? Please save me! The ghost is coming to get me! Ugh, ugh!”
“..
Phew?
What is that mocking laugh just now?
Ah, I got hit.
Lord Bolvar! This time it was really bad!
“Of course there was!”
I made an angry face and threw open the bathroom door.
however.
“… “huh?”
There was no one in front of the bathroom door.
Only the dreary winter wind was howling.
“W-what… …
So, who was that laughing sound just now?
♦ * *
“Are you sure you weren’t in the bathroom last night?”
“sure.”
“… … really?”
“yes. I returned home straight away, feeling satisfied after hearing that Master was sufficient on his own. Even while taking a bath, I admired the master’s incredible courage.”
No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like Lord Bolvar is lying.
He sometimes jokes around, but he’s not the kind of person who jokes around like this.
“Then who is it… … ?”
“Who was in the bathroom?”
“yes. Well, that… … Actually, I think I heard a ghost’s voice in the bathroom last night. “The warehouse ghost.”
“… … “A ghost?”
“yes!”
Is it because my words are too serious?
Lord Bolvar looked at me blankly for a moment, then burst into laughter.
“Giggles! “I didn’t know you had such a cute side left in you.”
“yes?”
“When you were about four years old, you used to cuddle up to me, crying that you were scared of ghosts. He was really cute back then… … . “You look cute today too.”
“… … Sir Bolvar. “I’m very serious.”
“Yes, I guess so. young master. There are no ghosts in this world. That’s all a story the lord made up to make fun of you. The lord, who has enjoyed teasing his children, is now telling the story to Lady Ruina. Of course, unlike you, young lady, you are not deceived.”
“yes. I know that my father made this up… … . “I really heard someone’s voice in the bathroom?”
“Could it be Practitioner Beggins or Nanny Vanelli?”
“no. There’s no way I wouldn’t recognize the nanny’s voice. And when she came out of the bathroom, it was exactly midnight. “It’s time for the warehouse ghost to come out.”
Lord Bolvar still didn’t seem to have any intention of trusting me.
He chuckled and said that there were no ghosts in this world, and I stood up.
“huh? young master? Where are you going?”
“… … “I have to find out for sure who the person who made fun of me was.”
“It must be difficult.”
“I don’t have any problem!”
I was really surprised last night.
How dare you make fun of me.
I will definitely find out who it is.
* * *
Master, why are you looking at me like that?
‘Ni’?”
“Practitioner. “Smile like me.”
” yes?” ujx «
“… … “What are you doing now?”
“Oh, quickly! Phew! like this.”
* II ”
■Dam three
“… … That’s Okay.”
no.
It’s not even the sound of a practical officer’s laughter.
What can I say, it feels a little more fair and neutral.
It seems like there are some high tones mixed in, but if you think about it closely, there are also mid and low tones mixed in… … .
By any chance, is it a woman?
“nurse.”
“Yes, master. “Would you like me to bring you some snacks?”
%.
“..
“Do you want to smile like this?”
Nanny Vanelli touched my head and said, ‘I don’t have a fever…’ … ‘.’ he muttered.
I’m not crazy!
Before entering the academy, she said she was feeling weak from reading too many books and offered to make her a sweet apple pie.
Apple pie… … .
How long will I only be seen as a child in the eyes of my nanny?
I am not a child.
“Yum.”
I walked around the house with the apple pie that Nanny Vanelli had persistently (really) handed me.
There is one purpose.
Finding that mysterious voice that appeared in the bathroom at midnight last night.
However, the search operation did not go smoothly from the start.
“young master. “Have you developed a new detective game?”
“No.”
“So, playing tag?”
The security guard, the deacon’s grandfather, and the secretary… … .
And Ruina too.
“brother. Stop talking strangely and come with me
Let’s play.”
This is how everyone didn’t know my true feelings.
But, I definitely heard it!
Hong, let’s wait and see.
Because I will definitely reveal the identity of the ghost and surprise everyone.
“Hmm, what should we play?”
“hide and seek!”
“okay!”
First, play with Ruina a little.
* * *
I searched the entire mansion looking for Louisa, but I really lost it.
Aaaah, Ruina this guy!
Where on earth are you hiding?
“young master. “Have you found it yet?”
“yes. It hid better than I thought. Where on earth is this guy hiding… …
“Ah, playing hide and seek with Lady Ruina.
“It was you.”
“huh’? “Aren’t you talking about Ruina?”
“no. “I was asking if you had found the ‘identity of the ghost.’”
“… … Oh right.”
I was looking for the identity of the ghost.
While looking for the hidden Ruina, I had completely forgotten the identity of the ghost.
… … It’s a little embarrassing.
Lord Bolvar laughed once again, looking at me like this.
“Oh. If you are looking for Lady Ruina, she went downstairs a little while ago.”
“Down?”
” yes.”
You went down?
My eyes turned to the stairs at the end of the hallway.
“… … But, it’s an underground warehouse, right?”
In the basement warehouse… … They say there are ghosts.
As I stuttered, Lord Bolvar shrugged his shoulders and said.
“Miss Ruina is afraid of ghosts.
“Because you don’t.”
“yes?”
“He will turn six next year, but he confidently says, ‘There are no ghosts in this world!’”
“Unlike you, Miss Ruina, it seems like you are growing into an adult too quickly, which breaks my heart. “You can still remain a little more like a child.”
“… … “I have to go.”
“huh? “The basement?”
” yes.”
I nodded.
Ruina wasn’t scared, but she didn’t feel like I, her older brother, shouldn’t be scared.
My only thought was to save Ruina from the ‘ghost’ who might really exist in that basement.
Ah, this useless imagination.
In my imagination, Ruina was already being held by the ghost and desperately looking for me.
I stride towards the stairs
Now, Lord Bolvar raised the corners of his mouth faintly.
“after..”
The bottom of the stairs seen from above felt very dark and scary.
But, there is Ruina down there.
I closed my eyes tightly and asked Lord Bolvar.
“… … “Are you busy right now?”
Lord Bolvar smiled mischievously and nodded.
“yes. “I’m busy.”
What a busy day!
Just catching a fishing rod every day!
“Shall I go with you? “If you really need help, I can make time.”
But actually, I shook my head when Sir Bolvar said he would go with me.
“… … no. “I’ll go alone.”
I don’t know why.
Today, I thought that I would have to overcome this threshold of ‘fear’ on my own.
I grabbed my trembling legs and headed down the stairs.
Ruina, wait.
My brother is going!
