Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand

The autumn morning sun comes through the window.

Today is the day of the celebration.

Almark has already washed his face and is ready to go.

The ceremony starts at noon, but Wendy invited me to the city on my way home yesterday morning.

Wendy used to have a lot of places in Norrk that she wanted to take Almark. However, the day before that, when Almark failed magically and fainted, and there was a remedy, he always missed the timing with a kettle.

That's why today is a great opportunity.

Almark was somehow restless, meaninglessly looking out the window and trying to pull out his sword, and the door was knocked modestly.

Hurry to open the door and Wendy stood.

It's not a uniform robe, but my hair looks a little different than usual.

That's all, and Al Mark's eyes turned wildly.

Do you know how Almark feels, Wendy smiles and can you get out? and asks.

"Uh-huh. Sure."

Almark nods in a strange way.

Well then, let's go. It's a waste of time. "

Wendy said so and walked out pretending.

Almark left the room in a hurry and followed Wendy's back.

On their way out of town, the two of them played their story.

Wendy was originally a bright girl, but Almark knew she laughed especially well today.

Just when I went on a picnic at the Winter Mansion in the summer, I remember Wendy laughing like this.

When I arrived in the city, it was too early and the store was not open yet because I left early in the morning.

That's right, the two of us laugh and head to the harbor for now.

Several ships were berthed in the harbor.

One of them is just unloading, and the men are busy working.

I saw the name of the ship, the Star Guardian.

"I did that before I came here."

Almark says Wendy rounds her eyes.

What?

Almark talks to Morgan about working in the harbor for about a month before he went to Nork Island.

Wendy sometimes gave me a serious look as I hammered her.

And when I finished listening, I murmured as if I was impressed.

"I think I know why Almark is somehow different from everyone else."

In front of them, the sailors of the ship and the hobbyist men come and go between the men.

Maybe it's time for the store to open.

Almark called Wendy.

Shall we go?

That's what I told Wendy to do and turn his back on the harbor.

Almark knew at first glance.

One of the incoming and outgoing sailors was clearly a man from the north.

Moreover, from the movement, it seemed almost certain that there was mercenary experience.

That's not why I didn't want to show it to Wendy.

"Star Guardian."

Almark finally turned around again and carved the name of the ship into his head.

When I returned to the city, the shop began to open.

Wendy gladly takes Almark to her favorite shop.

A bakery.

A confectionery shop.

A small shop.

I'm going to eat a lot at the fish kiosk, so I put up with the bread and sweets just by peeking, but Wendy told me to buy a matching accessory for today's anniversary.

Fine.

Almark nodded.

"What do you want?

To be clear, no matter where you look at the accessories store, no one knows what Almark might be happy about Wendy.

Even if I was told to choose for myself, I would somehow buy something that was within reach.

Wendy laughs and walks straight to the back shelf of the store.

"Actually, I've made up my mind."

That's what I got with a smile on my face was a small pen stand.

A rudimentary pen made of stone, the blue flower carved into it looked familiar to Almark.

"Nutmisu Tachia Oi"

Almark inadvertently shouted at Wendy.

Wendy nods with a smile.

A picnic of a winter mansion with memorable flowers seen by Morgan and the three of us.

A naive design, but it was certainly that blue flower that colored Nork Island in the summer.

"I like it. Let's do this."

Almark nodded.

Speaking of which, maybe this is what Wendy laughed like on that picnic day today.

They lined up to pay the shopkeeper's woman and bought a matching pen holder.

It's about time.

They were looking up at the city on a small hill overlooking the city and the academy.

After a little silence, Almark said so.

Wendy nods.

"That's right. I'm a little behind schedule."

We don't have much time until the celebration.

"I'll come with you again. Next up is a bakery and a confectionery shop, and I want to try Wendy's recommendations."

"Yeah."

Wendy nodded happily at Almark's words.

All right, let's go.

Wendy stops Almark from walking down the path he came from.

"Where are you going, Almark? The Fish Pavilion is this way."

With that, he pulls Almark's hand and leads the way to a different path.

Almark ran down the hill trail, holding hands with Wendy.

Wendy's hair is in the wind.

Morgan said he was glad to win.

Almark thought while feeling Wendy's hand softness.

I agree.

I'm glad you won.
