Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand

Green buds are budding along the road.

In the green carpet that remains in the brown area, the small red flower that occasionally peeks at the face is the flower of the Chigiri Sauce, which tells of the spring of the island.

Ilmis was walking in the gentle breeze.

A robe in the high section with a golden edge swayed in the wind as he walked.Even that feeling feels lighter than in winter.

The bush beside him suddenly rushed, and the young man peeked into his face.

"Hey, Ilmis."

A classmate wearing the same robe of gold as Ilmis looks at Ilmis and smiles.

"It's a good day."

Yeah.

Irmis nodded.

It's already spring.

I hope it's warmer.

While saying that, the classmate came out of the bush and wiped the grass and leaves on the robe with his hand.

"In spring, it's the third year of high school."It's only a year from now, and I'm still not doing my research. "

Your research was on cane autonomy, Kalucar.

Ilmis smiles, reaches out, and takes the leaves attached to the heads of his classmates, who are a little shorter than he is.

"I thought it was an interesting study."

I thought so too, so I started it.

Kalyukar shrugs his shoulders.

"There were a lot of problems that I didn't think of at first."The outlook was unpleasant. "Hey, maybe I have more than I can handle."

"It's not like that."

Ilmis said with a serious expression.

"You said there was only one more year, but there was still one more year left. You can do it."

"Thank you."

Kalyukar laughs as if he had been illuminated.

Well, I'll do something about it.

"So, what are you doing here?"

Yeah.

Kalyukar changed his expression as he remembered.

"I'm here looking for a cane."I flew this way. "

Did you fly again?

Ilmis frowned.

"I've caught your staff once before."

That's right.

Kalyukar nodded.

"You caught me with the Rhinelle."

"Are you all right?"

Ilmis frowns.

"If you need me, I can help you."

"Thank you."

Kalyukar laughs.

"The one you caught me with is one with a strong temper."I'm fine with this one. It's just a bounce. "

“I hope so.”

With a nod, Kalyukar waved his hand as he saw the lilmis on his slightly worried face.

"I won't bother your hands."Don't worry, you're not even exhilarated. "

Then I saw the paper bag in Ilmis's hand.

"Where are you going?"

"Oh, I..."

Kalyukaru smiled and blocked Ilmis's reply.

"All right, you're at the Herb Garden."

"Kimono of the herb garden"

Irmis gently repeats.

"Who is it?"

"Don't you know that? Well, I guess that's you, too."

Kalyukar laughed.

"Look, I'm exaggerating when I say, 'Deep-window daughter.'"

Kalyukar says with pleasure.

There will be a beauty behind the deep window of the research building in the herb garden.

No way, you mean Celia.

Ilmis blinked his eyes.

Is that how Celia is called?

Yeah.

Kalyukar nodded.

"She is a beauty that is rarely seen in the herb garden."At first, I heard that it was a nickname that juniors started calling. "

I see.

Irmis nodded.

Irmis' classmates graduated from the college as far as the middle school.Unlike when Almark enrolled, going to higher education was synonymous with dedicating one's life to the study of magic.

Although the college was a secular world, few female students had yet been discarded completely from the outside world.

Therefore, even in the high school with few girls, the beauty of Celia who studies healing surgery and medicinal baths caught my eye.However, she was originally of a quiet disposition, and she barely showed herself at the herb garden where she was studying.

It must have made a mysterious impression from the juniors.

I wonder if Celia knows about this.

Irmis said.

And he said, "You know, I call myself that nickname."

I don't know.

Kalyukar twisted his neck.

If you knew that, you'd be ashamed to turn your face bright red.

I think so.

Irmis nodded.

"Thank you, Kalucar. I heard a funny story."

You're welcome.

Kalyukar smiled and looked beyond the bushes as he remembered.

Well, we need to go find the cane.

"Be careful, really."

Ilmis walked out again with that in mind.

"Oh, yes, Irmis."

With one foot in the bush, Kalyukar looks back at Ilmis.

"If you see Celia, just let her know.Sometimes we can all eat dinner together in the city. "

"All right."

Irmis nodded.

Let me tell you something.

Celia's research wing is in the corner of a large herb garden surrounded by a simple fence.

At first glance, the fence seemed to be made of wooden planks that were nothing, but each piece of the plank was filled with a complicated magic that eliminated the beast.

Illuminated by the emblem of the Royal Galilee painted on the fence.

The Royal Galilee owns several herb gardens in the country, but the last preparation when the herbs did not grow due to the large weather conditions on the continent was the herb gardens on the island of Nork.

There are resident caretakers, but they are packed in the administration building.

There was always only Celia in the research wing.

"The Master of the Herbal Garden"?

Ilmis loosened his mouth.

I imagine Celia's face when I gave her that nickname.

What kind of face can I shine on?

Irmis put his hand on the door of the research building and heard the gorgeous laughter coming from inside.

Celia's laughter.

She is so brightly laughed at.

Unexpectedly, I opened the door, stepped out of the hall and into Celia's lab, and there were early customers.

Standing on the wall with her back to the entrance, Celia and her antecedent looked back at Ilmis' footsteps.

"Hey, Ilmis."

In a cheerful tone, the young man said:

I thought it was about time you came.

Linulu

Ilmis breathed out in relief.

It's you.

Oh, Irmis.

From the shadow of Linulu, Celia, who was smiling, peered at her face.

"Thank you. You're here."

Yeah.

Irmis lifts up the paper bag she was holding.

"What I was asked to do."

"It's really helpful."

While Celia picked it up and checked the stash of tools inside, Irmis glanced at the rhinelle.

You seemed so excited.

"Oh, listen to the funny story."

Rinel nodded with a smile.

"Do you know?"What is Celia called by juniors? "

I just heard from Kalyukaru.

Irmis answers.

Well, Rhinelle, you heard me too.

“Oh, I thought I'd have to tell you this amusing story.”

Linulu smiled and lifted a cup of herbal tea.

"I just came to report it."

"I see. You told him."

To her disappointment, Ilmis sits on a chair nearby.

I wonder what would be such a nickname if I were really misunderstood.

With a blush of shame, Celia brought herbal tea for Ilmis.

"Yes, go ahead, Ilmis. It must have been far."

"The wind is warm today."

"Take the cup," replied Ilmis.

Sometimes it's nice to walk slowly.

Yeah.

Celia smiles.

"Well, that's good."

"You're fine, Irmis."

Linulu said cheerfully and took a cup of tea.

"I just came here, and I got a little nasty."You'll have to carry me on your back on your way back. "

Celia, fufu, laughed at the words.

"Didn't you say that before?"

Irmis said that and saw his friend again.

We've been busy researching each other, and we haven't seen each other in a while.

"Rhinel, you're a little stuck."

I see.

Linulu lifts the cup and looks lost.

I don't think I've seen Celia's face lately.

I'll do it again.

Celia blushes.

"If you're tired, you should just sit in a chair."

“No, I'm a big talker.”

Reynolds put the cup on the table, exaggeratingly stretching his arms.

"It's a lot more convenient to stand there."

Ilmis smiles bitterly.

Isn't that why you're tired?

I think so.

Rinel replied with a clear face, his eyes shining as he saw what was in Celia's cage.

"Oh, this is..."

When I went to town, I bought all of them together.

Celia said.

“When you're tired, you want something sweet, Rhinel.”

"You're right."

Rinel grabbed the candy in the cage with a smile.

You don't have to be tired.

To her delighted face, Ilmis and Celia looked at each other and smiled.
