Chapter 32

“Wait, if it’s really a love potion, it’s a big deal.” 

The Love potion is said to make a person fall in love with the person who uses the potion. 

The person who gave this is the unknown boy. 

That means Felix…

“No.” 

Anyway, Felix is my childhood friend. 

I had a duty to protect my childhood friend’s honor. 

In addition, Felix’s condition seemed very strange. 

Penny didn’t say Neville was weird… 

“Wait a minute. I’ll be right back.” 

“Ha, Ellie…” 

“You’re weird right now. I’ll go find out what it is and get some antidote! Don’t go anywhere and stay right here. Got it?” 

I threatened Felix and ran at full speed to the training room. 

Fortunately, the boy who gave me chocolate was practicing in the training room. 

“Hey, you!” 

The boy smiled as soon as he saw me. 

“Elena?” 

I ran to him and spoke in an urgent manner. 

“What did you put in that chocolate?” 

“Ah, uh?” 

The unknown boy avoided my eyes as if hiding something. 

I think he put something in there. 

“What the hell did you put in?” 

“Nothing…” 

“Did you put in a love potion or what?” 

The boy shuddered. 

“No, I just put what my friend gave me…” 

“Friend?” 

” He told me it would help me with my confession…”  

It seemed like a love potion to me. 

I felt like I wanted to curse at him, which I don’t usually do. 

“Who’s that friend?” 

“Oh, I mean…that….”

“Say it…”

“Ah, it’s a friend of a friend from the same department.” 

Then I won’t be able to find him even if I try to find him. 

I decided to go find it from the person I knew. 

Before that.

“What’s your name?”

“Me?” 

The boy blushed. 

“Ron Pesci.” 

Ron Pesci. 

I’ve kept that name on my mind. 

“See you later,” 

I began to run to the magic department building. 

I saw the person I was looking for in the distance. 

“Penny!”

“Oh, huh?” 

I pulled the arm of Penny, who was speaking with Neville. 

I dragged her away from Neville and pressed her. 

“Who made that love potion?” 

“Eighth-grade Jonathan…” 

Jonathan, this name sounds familiar. 

I ran to find Jonathan before I could hear the next words of Penny. 

I don’t know how long I ran around the magic building? 

After searching many places, I finally found Jonathan. 

He was surrounded by students. 

“Senior!” 

I don’t know where this power came from. 

I approached Senior Jonathan, pushing away the students who were swarming like bees. 

Senior looked at me and pretended not to know. 

“Huh? Isn’t it Elena? Did you come here because you needed it, too?” 

He referred to the Love potion as ‘it’, but I immediately figured it out. 

I shouted in haste. 

“It’s the opposite!” 

“The opposite?” 

“Yes! I need the antidote!” 

“Antidote?” 

Senior Jonathan said as he bit his lips in a perplexed way. 

“There’s no antidote.” 

“What?” 

“Why the antidote? Does the boy you like eat it and confess to another girl?” 

“No!” 

I looked around as I tried to scream casually. 

The gathered students were looking at me with interesting faces. 

It’s like watching a passionate play. 

I pulled Jonathan’s arm and headed for a place away from the students’ presence. 

The students followed at first but stopped there like a dog that listened well to the senior’s request for a moment. 

As soon as we went to a deserted place, Senior Jonathan spoke. 

“What the hell is going on? I don’t have an antidote, but I’ll help you as much as I can since it happened because of my medication.” 

I started telling him what happened. 

“I think my friend drank the potion by mistake, and after drinking it, he suddenly got a fever and started saying some weird things.” 

I didn’t tell the name of the friend, or the friend being a man because I was afraid that Senior Jonathan would spread rumors about a boy that I liked. 

The face of the senior who listened to me became serious. 

“What kind of weird things did the friend say?” 

“Holding my hand and saying ‘stay with we’ . No, that’s not the point. Come on! He’s having a fever.” 

“Aha.” 

Nothing was solved, but the senior nodded to himself convincingly. 

“Do you know anything? Don’t keep it to yourself…”  

“But Elena, were you always like this?” 

“What?” 

“No, I thought you were a quiet girl, but you were more active than I thought. Who the hell is that friend…? 

“Senior! I’m serious!” 

I was running around for almost an hour, so I was angry when I saw the strangely relaxed senior. 

“Alright, alright. It’s actually a secret.” 

He scratched his head. 

“It’s not really a love potion.” 

“…what?” 

I blurted the word at the unexpected answer.

“A potion that catches people’s hearts. No such thing exists in this world.” 

‘Then what’s that potion?’ 

Senior winked. 

‘The magic of giving courage.” 

“What?” 

“Everyone wants to do something, but there are things they can’t do because they don’t have the courage. It’s a magic that makes you do it.” 

“But how does it become a love potion? Some girls actually got confessed.” 

“The principle is simple. The person who gave you that potion would have given you chocolate or something to eat, right? The person who ate it must have secretly realized that the person who gave the gift had a crush on him. So after taking the potion, he had the courage to confess.” 

“So Neville’s confession to Penny means he liked Penny from the beginning?” 

“Oh, Penny and Neville? Didn’t you know? There was a rumor among the boys that Neville liked Penny, but it seems like the girls didn’t know.” 

Neville always liked Penny! 

There’s no such thing as a love potion! 

But there was no time to be happy. 

I still have unfinished business. 

“Then my friend? Why is there a fever?” 

“Maybe that person has an allergic reaction to the ingredient mixed in the potion.” 

“Then is it because of the allergic reaction?” 

My senior left an ambiguous answer. 

“Well, maybe or maybe not?” 

Then, the things he said were also because of an allergic reaction. 

‘Then tell me the ingredients.’ 

“That’s a trade secret…”

“Senior!” 

“Alright, alright. But don’t tell it to others?” 

The senior held out his pinky. 

‘ Are we elementary school kids.?’

I urgently put my pinky on his finger and promised. 

“Okay. Please tell me quickly.” 

After checking that no one was listening, the senior whispered quietly in my ear. 

I murmured the ingredients so that I wouldn’t forget and ran to Felix. 

“Felix!” 

He looked worse than before. 

” Inji roots, jeffrin petals, Pasi leaves. Are you allergic to any of these?” 

Felix replied with a wheeze. 

“Jeffrin petals. I had a fever when I was a kid when I drank Jeffrin petal tea.” 

“Wait a minute! I’m going to the nurse’s office!” 

This time, I ran at full speed toward the nurse’s office. 

“Mam!” 

“What’s the matter?”

“My friend had an allergic reaction after taking a medicine containing jeffrin petals!” 

The nurse looked at me with surprise. 

“Why did your friend eat something that he is allergic to?” 

“He didn’t eat it on purpose. Please… Hurry up!” 

The nurse gave the allergy medicine, clicking her tongue. 

I ran back to Felix, holding the medicine preciously in my hands. 

No, I was about to leave the door, but I turned to the nurse. 

“Mam! There’s someone in the academy selling a strange drug called the love potion,” 

The nurse responded with a shocked expression. 

“What? Love potion? You guys, did you make something weird again?” 

“And they put the medicine in the chocolate. A boy named Ron Pesci from the swords department gave it to me.” 

“Oh, my God. I have to let the principal know right away. Thank you for letting me know.” 

“You’re welcome. Then goodbye!” 

Achieved the goal. 

Jonathan, who is probably the cause of this, will not be able to avoid punishment. 

I thought it was too much to tell the nurse, but it was Jonathan who was really too much — A fraud who’s using the psychology of people who like someone. 

I hope Ron Pesci is punished. 

Not only the seller but also the buyer is vicious. 

Thinking so, I ran to Felix. 

Felix had a reddish rash all over his neck and arm.  

I managed to lift Felix up, who had fallen. 

Felix leaned his head against my shoulder.  

I quickly put the medicine in his hand. 

“Felix, Felix! Eat this.” 

Felix could take the potion himself. 

I was wondering if I should feed him, so that was a relief.  

I sat next to Felix and examined his condition. 

As time went by, Felix’s breathing became calmer little by little. 

But the rash on the neck remained the same. 

I asked with concern. 

“How are you? Are you okay?” 

“Be quiet. It’s noisy.” 

“I guess you’re alright now since you’re saying everything you want to say.” 

I laughed. 

Normally, I would have been offended by his harsh comment, but not now. 

On the contrary, it was fortunate that Felix seemed to be fine. 

As soon as I relaxed, my body lost strength. 

I leaned my head on Felix’s head. 

“…….. Elly?” 

“Do you remember you were talking nonsense because of the allergic reaction earlier?” 

“……No.” 

“Yeah, maybe you’re lucky you don’t remember.” 

Maybe he would be embarrassed if he remembered it.  

I barely got up with my sore legs. 

“Then I’ll be on my way. It’s hard because I’ve been running around so much. I’m going to rest.” 

“Wait a minute.” 

Felix rummaged through his bag and pulled something out. 

It was a well-packed box of chocolates. 

Impressive in a brown box with a large pink ribbon.

At a glance, it was the Chocolate from the most famous Chocolate store in the downtown area.

“Why are you showing this? Are you bragging?” 

My mind went blank as soon as Felix said something unexpected. 

“Take this.”
