Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand

The vacation is coming to an end, and more and more students are gradually returning to the dormitory. The dormitories were gradually regaining their liveliness before the holidays.

But for the students who stayed in the dormitory all the time during the vacation, it was also a lonely bustle that marked the end of the relaxing vacation.

It was still three days before the vacation ended, but Nelson came back.

"Oh, how are you both!!"

Nelson, who had a black-black sun, waved loudly as he saw Almark in front of the dorm.

"Welcome home, Nelson. You look fine."

Almark responds with a smile.

Sort of. I was waving my sword every day. "

That's what Nelson says and laughs happily.

"It was a good vacation. It was full."

"That's good."

"You went to Wendy's house, didn't you? How'd it go?

"It was really fun. Look, Almark."

Morgan said, and Almark nodded.

"Yeah, I'm glad you went."

"That's good. I've been in the dorm for a long time, and I can't breathe."

Nelson puts his luggage on the ground violently.

"That's why, Almark. I want to test the results of my summer training, and I'm throbbing."

Fish the luggage and take out the cloth wrapped sword for practice.

"Let me see how close I am to you, Almark!

"A lot of sudden. Why don't you leave your luggage in the room first?"

"During the holidays, I was practicing imagining you blowing the torque. When I finally see you in person, I can't stand it anymore."

Nelson is motivated.

But Almark shakes his head.

"I want to hang out with you, but I can't."

"Why?"

'Cause unlike you, I don't have a sword.

"Huh? I don't know if it's a stick or something."

Nelson said with an openly disappointed face.

"Ah, Almark. What if I use that? Just give me the stick from Maia the other day."

Morgan pinches his mouth.

"Oh, I see. Was it there?"

"Eh, did you guys get all the sticks from Maia? What were you doing, during the holidays...."

Well, hey

Morgan answers with a smile.

Almark brought a stick of wood that he kept in his room.

As usual, it fits into your hands as well as your familiar dagger.

All right, let's do it.

While Morgan watches, they begin martial arts practice.

Nelson threw in, and Almark used a stick.

It's just that I've been practicing, and it's quite sharp.

It's as fast as the torque impinging when I handled it in the first martial arts class.

"You're really here, Nelson. Nice punch."

According to Almark, Nelson smiled.

"Not yet! It's not like this!

Nelson improves the speed of the punch.

Almark can afford it, but surely he can see it after his efforts.

While holding Nelson's penetration, Almark remembered the familiar face of the penetration when he held the sword.

I miss it.

Behind Almark's head is Garba, the son of Gaizac, the master axe artist.

"Almark, it's a match!

That's why I came to fight every day.

Almost every time, Almark won, but Garba never admitted to losing, and the two met with a stick of wood every day.

Mary for her sister, who was watching it happily next to them.

Almark, oniichan, good luck.

With Mary's backing, Garba is bloated.

"Mary, don't fall in love."

I used to say that.

I wonder what they're doing.

Has Garba gone to battle yet?

I wonder if he is running the battlefield as a horseman of the Black Wolf.

Yikes

While thinking about it, Almark unconsciously stuck Nelson in the chest with a stick of wood.

The voice of Nelson returns to me.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Are you okay, Nelson?"

Holding his chest down, he hurried to Nelson, who was nodding.

"It's okay. But, damn it, I knew it."

Nelson says with a regrettable face.

Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be a big deal. Almark was relieved.

"I knew it would be dangerous without protective equipment. Let's stop today."

"The summit is still far away....."

Nelson shook his head and murmured.

"That won't do Almark any good."

Morgan nods with his face knowing why. and

"Ah"

Hmm?

Morgan suddenly stared behind Almark and hardened. Both of them looked back at each other.

There was a figure approaching the dorm with his luggage.

"Leila"

Almark murmured.

Leila was the only one walking toward the dorm early enough.

"Beard."

and Nelson.

"Was it the same boat as me? Why did you come home so early?"

"I'm scared... my vacation is over"

and Morgan.

When Leila came to the front of the dorm, she glanced at the three of them and tried to get inside.

"Welcome home, Leila."

When Almark called out, Leila stopped her legs.

Almark and the others were watched carefully.

"You guys stayed in the dorm all the time on vacation?

I asked him astonished.

"Me and Morgan. Nelson just got back."

"Hmm...."

Answering indifferently, Leila tried to enter the dorm.

"I'm kind of happy today."

Leila glanced back at Almark's words.

"What about it?"

With that sharp expression, Morgan becomes smaller behind Almark.

"I saw you in the garden on the first day of your vacation. You looked really depressed then. [M] But now I'm happy."

Leila glanced at Al Mark's face with her unusual eyes.

After a while, I glanced at Almark's expression.

"... I see."

Leila said with her eyes looking away.

"... this place is free."

Your face is very slightly mixed with a lonely expression. It overlaps with her face, which Almark used to have and I didn't have time for.

"We're the only three of us in the dorm right now."

Almark said.

"That's why I'll have dinner with you tonight."

Nelson and Morgan scream in the back.

Once again, Leila looked strangely seriously at Almark's face.

"... that's fine."

Behind Almark, Nelson's voice sounded like, uhh!?

"You're a strange person."

Leila said so without smelling, and this time she went into the dorm.
