Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand
Readiness
He's a loser.
Almark kept an eye on the words.
"What's the matter, torque?"
"What happened?"
Tell the torque to bite.
What's wrong with calling a loser a loser?
"I don't think you're talking about Rhinel."
Almark frowned.
"What are you mad at?"
Uuuuuuuuh
Discard torque.
"Whatever. Losers are losers."
Without answering, Almark looked at the face of the torque.
"I've learned something in the past year."
Ah?
"About you."
Almark smiles.
"It's only when you have a different heart that you say something rough with that face."
After being dazed by the words for a moment, the torque turned red and shouted.
"Fuck you."
Roll up with a face that really looks like it's going to bite Almark.
"No kidding. Don't say anything you don't understand."
"I know why."
Almark answers with a clear face.
"For you at that time.I'm sure there's something in me I don't want to admit. "
"I don't want to admit it."
Ah.
Almark nodded, but continued.
"I don't want to admit it, but it's just like I already admit it.That's why I'm angry. "
The torque opens your eyes.
"I know."
Almark nodded.
Almark also had a bitter experience.
I stood on the battlefield before Garba.
The two mercenaries could not be caught in the neck, but rumors were spread to other mercenaries that the Black Wolf Cavalry still had a strong kid.
At the age of twelve, even in the ordinary north, being treated as a single warrior on the battlefield was a fast break.
Still, it was probably Garba who admitted that his father was good for mercenaries.
Almark didn't want to admit the fact.
However, the fact that I don't want to admit it means that I have already admitted it to my heart.
I can't think like Garba. [M]
And if you ask me which way of thinking I think, or Galba's, is closer to my father, I'm sure it's Galba.
When I think about it, I still have an old wound on my chest.
The Angolan spear hasn't come out yet.
You're right.
In Almark's words, Torque stripped out his teeth and roared like a beast.
But I didn't affirm or deny it.
"Is something wrong?"
Torque, who had been staring at Almark's face for a while, eventually said it was a razor.
Orasur.
As Almark watches, the torque continues.
There's my brother.
Almark didn't say anything.However, the torque did not require Almark's reaction either.
"Seventeen is my older brother.It's almost thirty. "
It's not like a parent or a child.
Ah.
The torque nodded.
"You know what it means to be in Orasur.My brother did something unforgivable.So I'm going to spend the rest of my life there. "
That's tough.
Torque laughed aloud at Almark's gavel.
"Aniki deserves it. Don't get me wrong, I don't want you to feel sorry for me."
That's what I saw with my dull, glowing eyes.
"It's no big deal compared to what you and Wendy were carrying."
Torque ridicules himself.
"Even if I say I screwed up, at best my house is tilted.I didn't carry the world like you did. "
"It's not comparable."
Almark shook his head.
"We don't even know the size of our backs."
Uuuuuuuuh
Torque brutally blocks Almark's words.
Listen to me.
"... okay."
When Almark nodded, the torque hit his tongue.
"I used to be an older brother who could do anything."
Saying so painfully, he stares at the void.
"Because of that, I got on my nerves and was held up while I said hello, and when I realized it, I was in jail.I screwed up like crazy. "
Torque smiled ironically.
"If you screw up, tilt your house, and leave your family feeling miserable."
The voice of torque is unexpectedly distorted.
"That son of a bitch, he pulled me out."
I see.
"What do you want?"
The torque violently kicked the stone at his feet.
"I can't finish it in myself.Don't even think about the convenience. "
"Did oniisan ask you to do this?"
Ah.
I threw up the torque.
"I asked for it without explanation."
With such serious eyes.
Not my father or my second brother, but me.
"You're a selfish bastard. Who will ask you to do it?What did I do in the first place? "
After that breath, the torque finally realized that he was talking too much.
I didn't mean to talk to him like this.
But ever since I met the Bullsters in Orasur, I've been searching for a place in my torque chest where depressing thoughts burst out.
Inspired by Almark's confession, he unleashed emotions unexpectedly.
"Forget it."
Torque said.
"I talked too much about boring things.Forget what I just said. "
I envy you.
Torque strikes at Almark's abrupt words.
"What do you mean?"
"I envy you."
Almark smiled. It was a lonely smile.
"You were admitted to being a man enough to ask oniisan."
Almark lay his eyes down.
I've never been asked to do anything by my father.
My father never asked Almark for anything.
Whether it's from your age or from your standpoint, it's only natural.
I know that.
However, Almark was still very jealous of the torque.
"I wanted to ask you something, too. I wanted to be entrusted with it."
Far from the north, it was already an unfulfilled wish.But knowing that won't stop you from craving.
I wanted you to admit it to my father.
"I wanted to be recognized as a man enough to ask for something."
Torque opens his eyes to Almark's words.
"You"
"I'm sorry, I forgot."
Almark said.
"If you tell me to forget, I'll forget.I'm good at forgetting. "
"... oh"
The torque nods.
"Forget it."
"Okay."
Almark nodded and then looked at the torque as if he had thought of it.
"But you're not even in Orasur with oniisan's wife and children."
It was a casual question derived from remembering my father.
Are you at your parents' house?
"What?"
The torque flickers the eyebrows.
"No, so oniisan's wife and children..."
Almark shook his head as if it was bad.
"Oh, I'm sorry. You forgot."
"... hey"
Huh?
"Aniki's not married."
I see.
Almark nods small in response to the torque.
"Okay, I won't ask you anything else."
But Almark's words brought an idea to the torque.
My father's blurriness, which I heard when I was young, comes back to my mind.
When are Bullsters going to consolidate themselves?They have as many people as they want.
That's what my father said.
When I heard it, I didn't think of anything else.
Hmm, my older brother is a hard man to marry.
That's just what I thought.
But a man like that didn't get married until that age.
It is terribly unnatural.
And there's probably one reason Bluster didn't get married.
To not be tired of being a wife.
I knew it faintly.
Among the ships returning to this island, I was thinking vaguely and close to it.
But that vague thought turned into a clear conviction now.
Aniki was ready from the beginning.
It's not an idea. A long time ago.
Can you call that a loser?
"Torque. Let me just say this."
Almark was reluctant to say so.
"Your brother is not like that dark magician."
Uuuuuuuuh
The torque threw up and turned towards you.
I know that.
I know, so I'm extra angry.
That's what I said earlier.
"Next time something happens,"
Torque said.
"Let me fight too. I'll see how much the dark magician and I can do."
Ah.
Almark nodded.
"Thank you, Torque. It's pleasant."
It's not for you.
Torque thought so, but it was a hassle to continue the unmatched conversation with Almark.
Shrug your shoulders without saying anything.
Thank you, Torque.
Almark said it again.
"I'm so glad I talked to you today."
