"Thank you for waiting."
Norish came back with a glass of juiced water with dinner.
Wendy pours about a third of her juice into Almark's glass as she sat down next to them.
"Yes, please."
Thank you, Wendy.
Ah, good.
Nelson raised his voice.
"Norish, give it to me, too."
"Definitely not."
Everyone laughs at Norish's reply.
"Well, we're all here, Nelson. That's fine."
Reido said Nelson answered and coughed up.
"Well, gentlemen, we are gathered here today, it's true...."
"You're kidding."
Norish watches.
"What are you going to do?"
In that word, Seraha laughs, ahaha.
"Nelson, I'm serious about that."
Are you serious?
Norish leaned his neck.
"I think it's just a bad head."
Shut the fuck up and listen.
Nelson frowned.
"We've been waiting a long time."
Morgan looks worried.
"Please, before dinner gets too cold."
"I know."
That said, Nelson coughed again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for being here today.This winter vacation is safe again this year.It's an exam as soon as the vacation is over, but let's do our best. "
Who is this guy?
Everyone giggles at Norish's murmuring.
"If you prolong my story, Morgan will be mad at you."
Mr. Morgan.
Morgan rounds his eyes.
"Now, ladies and gentlemen, please raise your glasses."
Nelson raised his glass high, saying so.
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
Everyone puts a glass on each.
Almark also paired the glasses with Wendy and Lilty smiling.
Nelson vigorously drinks the rest of the juice and shouts, "It's good."
"Do that again. Taste it properly."
Nelson openly disagrees with Norish's words.
"My throat tastes good!"
Morgan hurriedly grabbed the spoon with his face Raidow on his ass that it had started again.
"Come on, let's eat. When it gets cold, it'll halve the taste."
That's right.
Almark nodded and started eating.
"Oh, it's been a long time since I drank it, it's really good."
Serrah wrapped a glass of fruit juice in both hands and said gladly.
Really?
Wendy nodded.
"I occasionally eat sweet sweets, but fruit juice water is another delicacy."
"Yeah, I don't even have juice stalls in the winter."
While saying so, Serrah saw Lilty again.
"But Liluti's pretty sweet. She's drinking it."
Oh, that's...
Lilty puts a spoon.
"You're drinking?"
Speak shy with a small voice.
"Winter hurts my throat right away."
"Your parents took the trouble to send you honey."
Wendy turned a blind eye to Seraha's words.
"Honey."
"When you dissolve it in water and drink it, it's good for your throat."
Lilty nodded gently.
"Lilty's throat is a college treasure.I need you to take care of me. "
Nelson raised his voice when he saw Lilty lying ashamed.
"Oh, Norish, no, you're in the same room as Lilty."
Yes, but...
Norish answers.
"What the hell? I don't know."
You got it. You got it.
Nelson glanced at Norish.
"Lilty's honey, you've been drinking secretly."
"No, I didn't."
Norish shakes his head.
"Not so much."
"Look, I knew you were drinking!"
"I gave it to Norish.I've always looked after you. "
Lilty said in a hurry.
"If you want, I'll give it to Nelson."
"No, that's okay because it's bad."
Nelson shook his head lightly.
"Anyway, nobody's bothered where my throat is dead."
I can tell you that.
Seraha nods with a smile.
"But you can't drink it if you go back to your room."
Nelson pushed the glass out into Norish.
"Give me some juice water."
"Definitely not."
Everyone laughs at the answer again.
Dinner progressed gently with such an unusual conversation.
You didn't have a tutorial today.
Wendy gently asks Almark.
"Yeah."
Almark nodded.
"Just today. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Yeah, I know that."
Wendy smiled.
"I'm going again."
That's right.
Almark smiles too.
"Thank you. Thank you."
The tutorial with classmates as instructors was already in the middle of the second cycle.
Torque and Wallis were only taught for the first time when they left Nork Island on a winter vacation, but other classmates would spend twice a night with Almark before going on an overnight trip.
Glad we could make it to Klan Island.
Wendy said that and then looked at Almark a little worried.
You can go, right?
"Yeah."
Almark nodded.
"I got Dr. Ilmis' permission, and I talked to Nelson and Norrish yesterday.I can still get on the boat. "
"Yes."
Wendy laughs happily.
I'm looking forward to it.
"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it."
After that, Almark put his arms together.
Only Almark ate more quickly than everyone else, and the plate in front of him was already empty.
"But it's warmer than Nork."
Almark said.
"I can't imagine."
"Almark was born in the cold."
Wendy smiles.
"Yeah, Nork Island winter was quite a surprise to me."
That's what Almark said and smiled.
"I can't believe it's so warm in winter."
"It's warmer here than in the mainland Galai."
Wendy nodded.
"But the warmth of Clan Island is not like this."
I'm looking forward to it.
Almark drinks the juice from the glass.
"After all, is it Wallis and Torque who can't come?"
And Leila too.
Wendy said.
"I don't think Leila's going home, but she's not coming."
"Why not?"
"Leila has high aspirations."
Wendy smiles.
"The truth is that martial arts tournaments and magic festivals don't have to do anything.I just want to be immersed in my studies. "
I see.
Almark remembers a story he heard from Leila earlier in the harbor.
The invisible chains tangled with Leila have never been broken.
It's just that Leila started behaving in such a way that she wouldn't show it.
"But because of their abilities, they won't let go."
Yes, it was great for martial arts tournaments and magic festivals.
Almark nods at Wendy's words.
Speaking of which, Leila praised me for the last tutorial.
Wendy opens her eyes to Almark's words.
Leila.
"Yeah."
The other day, it was Leila's second tutorial.
Following Leila's instructions, he turned Mars' wand into an animal that Almark had never actually seen before, and Leila kept an eye on its reproducibility.
"I may have said that before."
Leila said.
"You really look good."
Can you see it?
Almark leans his neck.
"But I've never seen this before."
That's how I put a fluffy white fur beast in front of me.
"I think seeing means being able to predict exactly what you can't see."
Leila reached out and stroked the beast.
"You can do it."
"Does it look good to predict exactly what you can't see?"
Wendy nods.
"That sounds like Leila."
"Oh, hey."
Nelson shouted unexpectedly.
Point out the dining room window.
Just as a little flame was shaking away in the dark.
It's Wallis.
Nelson said.
"He always goes home at night before his vacation."
"I'll spend the night in the harbor and get on the first boat in the morning."
Reido answers.
"His parents are far away."
"House of Mosville,"
Nelson nodded.
Almark looked at the flame and remembered Wallis' words the other day.
"I don't trust you."
I wonder who Wallis trusts.
I wonder if there is anyone he can trust beyond that little flame, far from the Mozville family.
Beyond Almark's vision, the flames eventually disappeared into the shadow of the tree.
