Chapter 379 Ethan’s Two Wingmen
?Ethan laid out the picnic blanket that he always carried inside his storage ring and spread it on the ground.
He then removed his shoes before stepping onto the blanket, and then he placed the basket at the center.
Lilian did the same before sitting beside Ethan.
She then raised a finger, and a small stream of water rose from the lake and flew toward her hand.
Even without using her wand, she could manipulate water at will, which was all thanks to her unlocking the first level of her Legacy.
She used the water to clean her hands before sending it back to the lake.
Lilian then opened the lid of the basket and picked up one of the sandwiches that were placed there.
“Ahhhh,” Lilian said as she prepared to hand-feed Ethan, making the young man blush.
This was a very rare experience for Ethan because he had matured a lot after his experiences in the Lands of Alastor.
Perhaps, he was affected by Lilian’s innocence, boldness, and love for him, making him feel special.
Of course, since they had already reached this stage, Ethan opened his mouth and took a bite of the sandwich offered to him.
“How is it?” Lilian asked.
“Very good,” Ethan replied.
Lilian then smiled and puffed up her chest a little, which made Ethan chuckle.
“You’re not the one that made these sandwiches, you know?” Ethan said in a teasing tone.
“Food tastes better when you share it with friends, and it tastes most delicious when you share it with the person you love,” Lilian said in a calm manner, despite the redness of her face. “The reason why this sandwich is delicious is because I am hand-feeding it to you, Ethan.”
“Then, have you hand-fed others in the past?” Ethan inquired.
Lilian shook his head. “You are the first person that has made me feel like doing something like this.”
“I’m honored.”
“Well, you should be. Not many will have the privilege of getting special treatment from me, you know?”
The two bantered lightly, and because of this, Lilian’s way of talking to Ethan flowed more smoothly and casually.
It was no longer formal, like how she talked to him in front of everyone else.
She had even dropped the ‘Sir’ from her usual address to him and simply called him Ethan, enjoying their time together.
After she finished feeding Ethan a sandwich, the young man also raised a finger, calling out a stream of water from the lake so that he could wash his hands.
This time, he took the initiative to hand-feed a sandwich to Lilian, making her already-red face a shade redder.
The young man watched as she took a bite out of the sandwich, making him smile.
‘Look at her nibbling at her food. She’s like a cute little pet,’ Ethan’s Other Half commented. ‘Definitely a keeper.’
Sebastian, on the other hand, just chuckled on the side, enjoying this cute interaction between the two teenagers.
The hours passed swiftly, and the sun slowly set on the horizon.
Ethan and Lilian were both full, so they didn’t plan on having dinner together.
The two sat beside each other and made things out of the lake water.
Lilian created dozens of water butterflies that flew around her and Ethan.
Seeing how easily she had done it proved that her control over the lake water was more refined than what the young man could do.
Ethan was in a playful mood as well, so he created an eagle out of the water, with a wingspan of two meters.
Seeing this, Lilian also made an eagle, and the two competed on who could make the best aerial exhibition between their two eagles.
While this was happening, the emblem of the Sea God’s Trident glowed faintly on the back of Ethan’s left hand.
Ethan was using his right hand to manipulate the eagle, so he didn’t notice that the Sea God’s Trident had snuck away and dove down to the bottom of the lake.
The surroundings were turning dark now, and the two were already planning to leave so they could return to the Dorm when, suddenly, countless golden lights emerged from the surface of the water and hovered in the air like fireflies.
“Wow,” Lilian exclaimed after seeing such a beautiful sight. “Is this a regular occurrence for this lake at night, Ethan?”
“… No,” Ethan replied. “This is the first time I’ve seen something like this.”
A moment later, countless golden lights glowed on the lake, making it look like a sea of golden stars.
The golden lights that hovered in the air only made this spectacle more awe-inspiring, leading Lilian to lean her head on Ethan’s shoulder as her hands intertwined with his.
Sebastian, who was the mastermind of this beautiful scenery, was still not done being Ethan’s wingman.

“Percussions,” Sebastian said softly, and several xylophones made from water started to play a soft melody.
“Strings.”
Several lyres made up of water started to strum their strings.
“Winds.”
A faint and refreshing breeze blew across the lake, setting the mood for a performance.

Sebastian’s singing voice reverberated in the surroundings, making Ethan’s body stiffen.
“There you see her,” Sebastian sang. “Sitting there across the way~
“She don’t got a lot to say,
But there’s something about her~”
“And you don’t know why,
But you’re dying to try,
You wanna kiss the girl~”
Ethan fought the strong urge to facepalm when he heard the song, while Lilian looked around her surroundings, trying to find the source of the singing voice.
Ethan’s Other Half laughed inside his Sea of Consciousness because he was very amused with Sebastian’s antics.
In the end, he decided to join his comrade to help set the mood for the two teenagers, who were having a romantic moment together.
The worst part was that Ethan’s Other Half used the young man’s voice to sing the next part of the song. And he used his most suave voice to sing it, articulating every word, which caused Lilian to blush.
“Yes, you want her,
Look at her, you know you do.”
“Possible she wants you too,
There is one way to ask her~”
“It don’t take a word,
Not a single word.
Go on and kiss the girl~”
If earlier Ethan wanted to facepalm due to Sebastian’s antics, this time he wanted to dig a hole to bury himself in after hearing his Other Half singing using his own voice.
But he did his best to stop himself from doing that because he felt that Lilian was now holding onto his body a little tighter than usual.
As if waiting for that moment, the two bastards sang together, as if they were planning to push the young man off the cliff, sealing the deal.
“Sha-la-la-la-la-la
My oh my~”
“Look like the boy too shy,
Ain’t gonna kiss the girl~”
“Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Ain’t that sad?
Ain’t it a shame? Too bad,
he gonna miss the girl~”
Lilian looked up at Ethan with expectations, the golden lights in their surroundings illuminating her beautiful face.
Although she was as red as a tomato, it didn’t hide the fact that she was indeed a very beautiful lady, whom many men would want to refer to as their lover.
The two wingmen continued to sing, dragging out the mood to maintain the moment.
In the end, Ethan was caught in the mood as he lowered his head to kiss the soft lips of the young lady, who had traveled thousands of miles just to be with him.
Even though the music had slowly faded in the background, the sound of two people kissing echoed faintly in the quiet night.
It was a kiss of acceptance, as well as a promise for a future where they would walk side by side together, facing the challenges that the world had in store for the two of them.
