That day, Almark had dinner in the dining room with Nelson and the others for the first time in a long time.
"Oh, Almark."
Nelson shouted as he saw Almark with his face in the cafeteria.
"I haven't seen you in the dorm lately, so I thought you were already living in the school building."
"That's not true."
Norish shouted in amazement and then looked at Almark with his gentle eyes.
"But it's been a really long time. Almark is here at this hour."
"Yeah, the majors are off till the day after tomorrow."
Well, you can afford it.
Nelson says.
"I think we can go to Klan Island on a winter vacation."
"No, that's..."
Almark shook his head.
"I think it's hard. Because there are mountains of things to do."
I knew I couldn't do it.
Nelson looks sad.
Well, I can't help it.
"I'm sure one more ship will be fine."
Tell Norish to intercede.
"Almark. I'm sure everyone would enjoy it if you came. But if you're coming, just let me know."
Yeah, thanks.
Almark nodded.
Leido said he received the meal and started eating with three boys sitting at a large table away from Norish and Lilty.
"It won't be so cold for you here in the winter, but it's still cold for us. I'm looking forward to the warmth of Klan Island."
"I don't like the cold either."
Almark answers.
"Of course, I really want to go."
Well then, let's do some magic to make you want to come more
That's what Reido said, smiling.
"Wendy loves Clan Island, but she's wondering if she's going this year."
"Eh?"
"Maybe you're worried about someone."
Reido laughs freshly when he says so.
"Well, I don't think it's a bad idea to study together in a dorm with fewer people, I guess."
"What is it, Raido?"
Nelson sounds dissatisfied.
"Which side are you on?"
I'm on everyone's side.
Reido answers with a clear face.
"Well, Wendy."
Almark thinks about it.
"Well, but Almark. Don't push me."
Nelson makes a serious voice.
"If you break your body, it's not a test."
"Yes, thank you."
Almark nodded.
Wendy and Leila came into the cafeteria late.
"Oh, Almark."
Wendy looks at Almark's face and watches.
"What's the matter? I went to see Dr. Ilmis today."
"Yes, actually, Dr. Ilmis told me to rest until the day after tomorrow."
Oh, yeah.
Wendy blinked her eyes.
"Something's wrong with me."
"No, that's not it."
Almark tried to explain to Wendy the end of today's tutorial, but in the middle of the explanation, he got fed up with Leila's face.
"When will that story come to a conclusion? We're running out of time for dinner."
"Sorry."
Almark scratches his head.
"Anyway, the teacher told Almark to rest because he was tired."
Wendy sets sail.
"Yeah."
Almark nodded.
That's what I'm talking about.
Well, I wish I could say so.
Leila sighs.
"I'll always talk about the heart of a chicken with tentacles laughing."
"Sorry."
Almark apologized again.
"But I think the teacher's right."
Wendy said.
"Almark should get some rest, too."
"Yeah."
"In your case, daytime classes are important."
Leila sandwiched her mouth.
"Don't stay up too late, concentrate on the day classes, and remember what you can remember on the spot."
I see.
Almark nodded.
I wonder if I can do it.
"I do."
"I'm sure you can."
Almark smiles bitterly.
"Anyway, don't overdo it."
Wendy, worried about her face, took Leila for dinner, and Nelson and Norish stood up almost simultaneously after eating.
"Everyone's worried. Almark's fine."
That's what Nelson said. He slapped Almark on the shoulder.
"Ah, I wonder if anyone's worried about me."
"I'll help you pack when you fall and leave the dorm."
Norish said coldly and Lilty giggled.
"You, that's awesome"
"Unlike Almark, you've been here for three years, so get it done."
"It's awful."
Nelson shrugs his shoulders.
When they left the cafeteria, Koren, Polois, and Ain spoke out rarely every time they crossed Almark, so Nelson made fun of Almark's popularity again.
After breaking up with Nelson and the others, Almark went back to his room and quickly dived into the bed.
There was a lot to do, but what was clearly forbidden to do made Almark feel less comfortable.
You can't do it, so you can't do it. Then we'll have to sleep now.
When I finally laid down in bed, showing the split virtues of raising mercenaries, my body was honest and I soon fell asleep.
Almark slept well that day for the first time in a long time.
The next day, after school, Almark left the classroom immediately.
Shortly after leaving the school building, waiting to hide behind the trees, Zap ran out of breath.
"Almark"
"Zap, where's Fita?
"Still in the classroom"
Zap answers.
"Maybe we should get out of the classroom and meet someone."
Are you seeing me so much every day?
"Yeah, every day here."
Zap nodded and stood next to Almark.
Just from that position, I saw the face of the person coming out of the school building. Besides, it's a hard place to be noticed from the other side.
"That's Almark. You knew this place well. I just got here this year."
"I had a pair of Ains teach me before. If you want to keep an eye on people coming and going, you better stay here."
How does Ain know that?
"Come on."
They waited for Fita while they quietly talked about it.
After a while, a student came out of the school building, but there was still no sign of Fita.
When the torques came out with their usual trio, they walked away towards the forest.
Then Fiquet came out talking to a group of unknown girls with a rare and serious face.
After listening, it seems that you have predicted the scope of the exam.
"I don't want to study as much as I can."
I heard the words "without body or lid".
"It's surprisingly interesting to observe people like this."
When Almark leaked such a casual impression, Zap twisted his neck with a serious face.
I guess so.
So Almark remembers that Zap's heart is not so far away.
"Sorry, sorry. We need to make sure we don't miss Pheta."
"Yeah.... ah"
Zap shouted loudly.
A small girl came out of the school building by herself.
It's Fita.
Looks like it's not a forest or a dorm to get there early.
All right, let's go.
As Fita's back became smaller, they nodded and came out of the shadow of the tree.
