Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand

"I wasn't expecting anything from Fita."

Zap pointed his mouth and said so.

I see.

Almark nodded.

They were in the shadow of the dorm implantation by changing places.

He was embarrassed to talk about Zap's intrusion, so Almark asked him to change the place.

A basement attacked by the Dark Beast Duggan and got Mars's wand.

They lowered their hips in a bush that saw an old door at the entrance.

I've lived in this dorm for nearly three years and I didn't know it was Morgan.

No one will come here.

It's a little cold, but the dorm is right in front of you. You can go in when it gets cold.

"That night's herbal hunt."

Zap said.

You remember Almark, too.

Ah.

Almark nodded.

"Of course."

Wendy, Morgan, Zap, Fita, and Radmar.

The night the six of us walked through the dark forest in search of medicinal herbs.

Radmar's small open box.

The blackness that popped out.

The whistle rang.

Volapa.

"All three of us, we really appreciate you moving."

I was scared.

Zap smiles a little.

"The darkness appeared and you broke up with Al Mark and the others in the woods. When I was alone with the three of us, I saw Fita and I thought,"

Zap pinched the dead grass on the ground.

"This guy, get strong."

"Strong"

"Yeah."

Zap nods.

"He's quiet in the classroom, he's not so good at magic, and his face is..."

After saying that, I feel a little awkward.

"Well, I'm not a very beautiful woman."

Almark remembers Fita's face.

"Isn't she cute?"

"But you're not so beautiful."

Zap turned his face red and disagreed as if he was in a hurry.

Almark frowned.

"Who, for example, are you talking about?"

Well, the queen of Al Mark's class play the other day.

"Oh, Leila."

In his head, Almark compares Fita to Leila, who dressed up as the queen in the play.

I see.

Almark nodded honestly.

"What you're saying is, if you're a great beauty, then Leila, you can't say that Fita is a great beauty."

"It may have been a little extreme."

Zap looks in trouble.

"The Queen's child, and there's Wendy, and all the boys are making noise. She's cute. That's not how Fita feels. You know that."

"Yeah."

I didn't really know, but Almark nodded.

"I know."

Zap continued his words, reassured by the answer.

"Until then, I didn't even think that Fita was cute. I just thought she was a girl."

"Yeah."

"But I thought that night was beautiful."

Zap looked ashamed and said it clearly.

"That night, Fita was supposed to be terrified, but she never gave up. On the contrary, he energized me and Radmar many times. Fita's serious face looked so beautiful to me."

Then I looked at Almark with a worried face.

"You think that's weird?"

"No way."

Almark shook his head.

I know how you feel.

Almark remembered Wendy.

Wendy is cute and beautiful, but that's not all.

"People's beauty isn't just about appearance."

Almark said.

How many times have I been blinded? [M]

Martial arts tournament. Magic Festival. Night Forest. Winter Mansion.

Wendy was really beautiful when she resisted difficulties and burned her soul.

"Yeah, that's right. It's not just about appearance."

Zap nods happily.

"Great. Almark needs to know."

Well...

Almark has a little chest tightening.

So?

"Yeah, and I've always wondered about Pheta. I've barely talked to you before, but since that day, I don't know what you're going to say, it's like a fellow who's been through something scary together. Talk a lot."

"Yeah, yeah."

Almark nodded.

"I know that."

To overcome the crisis together.

It was through the crisis that Almark was able to make a real difference with his people.

It's not just Wendy. With Morgan, with Reido, with Leila, with a pair of Ains.

Almark and his friends have overcome the crisis and solved it by growing up with each other.

"If you do the same thing, the distance will shrink a lot."

"Yes, it is."

Zap nods.

"That's Almark. I knew you'd understand."

"Of course I do."

Almark gladly peels at the grass at his feet.

So?

Yeah, that's it.

Zap lurked.

"I saw the play with Radmar at the Magic Festival. When I saw Al Mark's plays, you know, the last scene of Al Mark and Wendy was really good."

"Really?

Almark illuminates.

"At that time, when I looked on the side, Fita was crying. When I saw it, I was like,"

Zap's face turned red and he lay down.

He said, "I like Fita."

Saying that with a small voice, Zap will shut up.

I see.

When Almark hit the gavel, he imagined the scene silently for a while.

Fita stares at the stage and tears softly, and Zap stares at her side.

It was a warm sight for Almark.

But...

Suddenly Zap made a dark voice.

"Recently, Pheta seems really busy. I feel like I'm meeting someone after school."

"Someone."

Almark looks at Zap.

"A boy?"

"I don't know."

Zap shakes his head.

"But I kind of feel like a boy. Pheta hasn't been home with her lately."

I see.

Almark nodded.

"So, imagine that Fita is having fun with someone else, and it's kind of fun. It's pathetic of me to do that."

Zap said lying face down.

"That's why I can't study here."

Is that what you're saying?

Almark nodded.

If Wendy was always meeting someone after school.

Maybe I'll do it again. [M]

"Why don't you ask me directly? Who do you see after school all the time?"

"I wouldn't have to struggle if I could."

Zap shook his head.

"Well, I could've listened to it before I woke up. I'm so embarrassed I can't ask that anymore."

"Is that what it is?"

Almark thinks.

Certainly, Almark was afraid to ask Wendy something.

Sometimes I'm scared because I like it, and I can't hear it because I like it.

But I want to help Zap.

Aside from asking directly, there is no way to eliminate it.

"All right, all right."

Almark stood up with great momentum.

Zap, do you have time after school tomorrow?

Huh?

Zap looked up at Almark confused.

"Speaking of which, yes."

Well, let's find out.

Almark said.

"After school, let's sneak up on who Fita is seeing. Still, if it's a girl or a teacher, don't worry."

Yes, it is.

Zap looks scared.

What would you do if you were a boy?

"Zap, you should be confident in the bonds you've developed with Fita. It's okay."

Almark cut to the chase.

"Even if Fita was with the other boys, just tell Fita."

Oh, my God.

"Shut up and come and talk to me."

Almark said.

"Well, it's cold in the winter, so why don't you go out and have some soup? I'll ask Morgan for recommendations."
