Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand

A few days later, there was no call from the dean.

Then I asked Illmis and he said he hasn't returned to the academy yet.

Almark switched his mind and devoted himself to mastering new magic.

Such a morning.

When Almark enters the classroom as usual,

"I'm not lying! Really!

I heard a loud voice called Morgan.

Morgan is talking to Nelson and Raidow about some of their usual members.

"Good morning."

Almark approaches them with a greeting.

What are you talking about?

"Ah, Almark. Perfect."

Morgan shouted joyfully at Almark's face.

"Almark would believe me. They're all lying."

"No, Morgan. That's a tough story to tell."

Nelson laughs bitterly.

"What is it? What the hell are you talking about?"

As Almark sat down, Wendy and Lilty, who heard Morgan's voice, approached.

"What? Morgan, what are you talking about?

"Wendy and I are already showing interest as soon as Almark arrives."

After Morgan said that and swollen, he started talking as if he had regained his mind.

"Then I'll talk to you again. I'm talking about the library. Almark, you go to the library a lot."

Oh, I need a book.

Almark nodded.

The library is built as a separate building near the school building where Almark and the others study.

During the summer vacation, Almark went here as he did every day and read various books.

Did you know there's a special library in that library?

Shake his head at Morgan's words.

"Special library. I don't know. Is there such a thing?"

"Normally, it's the general library where everyone comes in and rents books."

Wendy adds a commentary from the side.

"In the back of the general library, there's a door to the special library."

Heh.

Morgan resumes the conversation after seeing Almark nod.

"To get into the special library, I need permission from my librarian, Mr. Tamin, to borrow the key."

Ah, Mr. Tamin.

Almark remembers the woman who is always sitting at the reception desk in the library.

"What kind of books are there in the special library?"

"That's a good question, Almark."

Morgan pointed at Almark.

"Everything in the special library is said to be magical."

"Magic?

"Yes."

Morgan nods.

"The book itself is magical, and if we elementary school students touch it by accident, there are dangerous books in the special library."

Heh.

"That's why we don't put our students in a special library. Tamin-san won't forgive you even if you want to come in."

In Morgan's words, Nelson nodded that he had never asked Mr. Tamin if he could put it in the first place.

"It's a huge number of books in the general library."

Reido says.

"I wonder how amazing the libraries in the middle and high schools are because this is what they are in the primary school."

I see. There are separate libraries in the middle and high schools. "

In Almark's words, Wendy answered, "Yes, the school building and the dormitory are all different," and Morgan coughed up as he noticed that the topic was about to shift.

"Anyway, the special library is out of our reach. I wonder what kind of books are hidden there! I want to see it! I want to read it! Almark, you'll be dancing too."

"I want to read it, Morgan. You don't read a book at all."

"I'll read it! Sometimes I read!

With Almark's words overshadowed, Morgen shakes the heat again.

"A magical, untouchable taboo. Scary, isn't it? It's hard if I read it by mistake. I don't want to see it! We shouldn't have books like that in our reach."

"Either you can read it or you don't want to read it."

Nelson says he's stunned, but Morgan doesn't care.

Once the words are cut off, the voice lurks as if it were a waste.

"But one of those horrible books with such magic seems to be in the general library."

Heh.

Nelson and Raido giggle as Almark step forward.

"Don't take it too seriously, Almark."

"No, seriously!

Morgan keeps talking without fear.

"The book is secretly placed on a bookshelf in the corner of the general library where no one comes. Nothing looks like a normal book. There's only one way to tell."

Morgan's voice deepens even further.

"The last moment the sun sets. Just a moment before the sun set and the magic lamp lights lit up in the library. The library becomes dark only for a moment. At that time"

Morgan puts his index finger up.

"There is only one book that emits blurry and pale light. That's the magic book."

Almark imagined a book emitting light in the dark corner of the library's library.

Well, it certainly resembles the image of a magical book.

"What does the book say?

In response to Wendy's question, Morgan shakes his head.

"I don't know that either. However, it is said that if you read the book, the person will be taken out of his soul."

At that moment, Lilty closed her ears and walked away.

Nelson slapped Morgan on the shoulder laughing loosely.

"It's not what they say. If such a book were on a normal bookshelf, a soulless man would come out every year."

"That's why you keep it out of the sight of anyone."

"Why do you make such a rumor when no one notices?"

"Did Morgan see where the book glows?

As Almark sandwiched his mouth between Morgan and Nelson, Morgan shook his head and replied immediately, "No way."

"Why should I see something so scary for myself?"

Then who saw it?

Nelson mixes it up.

"I don't know. I asked a group of guys."

"You said you heard it from a group of guys before."

Nelson sounds stunned, but Morgan doesn't give up.

It's a definite source.

Where is it?

Nelson shook his head.

"Anyway, isn't that Norrish's prank again, like before?

I looked at Norish while saying that.

Norish, who was talking to Curime and Serrah, noticed the gaze and glanced back at Nelson.

"What is it?"

"Nothing."

"You've seen this."

"I didn't see it."

"I was going to go to the library for lunch."

Almark talks to Morgan, not even Nelson, who started talking to Norish.

"You don't know when it's bright."

"That's right. It's only the last moment of darkness in the evening."

"Well, then I can't because I have my Ilmis major."

"I'm not going to the library when it gets dark."

Wendy shook her head, and when Morgan unfortunately licked her mouth, the story ended.

Lunch break.

Almark was shouted at the face he saw in front of the library.

"Hey, you going to the library too?"

"Hey, Ain."

In reply, Almark nods.

"Oh, that's right. You too."

Well...

A brilliant group of classmates laughed at Almark's face.

"Let's go together. I'm interested in what kind of book you're reading."

I don't read a lot of books.

Almark laughs bitterly, shakes his head, and enters the library side by side with Ain.
