Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand

In the infirmary, Celia and her steep face, Ilumis came in, and the gentle atmosphere that the three had woken up safely vanished.

First of all, the three of you came home safe and sound.

Ilmis said with a sharp face.

The three replied, "Yes, thank you, thank you."

"Move your body. Is there anything funny or hard to move?"

According to the words, the three of them go down to bed and try to move their bodies.

Are you uncomfortable?

All three nodded to the question of Ilumis.

Goodbye. My soul has entered my body properly. "

After that, Ilumis looked back at Celia and nodded.

Celia nodded back, gently.

I'll get you some medicinal water.

That's why I left my seat.

Wait for the door to close, and Ilmis, well, looks at the three of them. I always have a tough face.

"I've heard a lot from Morgen."

Continue looking at each of the three mysterious faces.

"Would you like me to talk to you from your own mouth? What the hell did you do, did you not do, and what happened this time?"

The explanation was mainly handled by Ain. Almark and Fiquet added to the explanation at some point.

The beginning of the rumor. That reasoning and verification.

Fiquet's loss of consciousness and an exchange in Almark's room in the morning.

Library trap.

Wake up in the cave and encounter the beast.

Illmis remained silent throughout the explanation.

During the explanation of the battle against the beast Eldane, Ficke was on his way.

"I also saw Almark running around by himself, attracting monsters. I thought,"

and pinched his mouth in excitement, as I thought,

"Dodge the rush and run. Yes, I've never seen it, but it was like a mercenary on the northern battlefield."

and mouth.

"Mercenaries. It's weird to say."

Ain beats each other with a cool face.

"I heard Almark was from the North, but it was like a mercenary fight in the North."

Saying that, I glanced at Almark.

When Almark was silent, Wendy stumbled on him.

"Excuse me, both of you. I can't believe you likened Almark to a mercenary."

Ain looked at Wendy with interest.

I see.

That's right.

Wendy looks at Ain.

"I'm sorry about that. Let's undo it."

Ain quickly withdrew.

"Er, but it was a little scary to fight. It was like a mercenary in the north."

Ilmis stopped Fiquet from pointing his mouth at him.

"That's enough. Then what happened?"

It briefly explains that after Ain defeated the beast, three people lost consciousness in the light from above, and the next time he woke up, he was on this bed.

I see.

Ilmis nodded.

I know what you did.

Then I saw the three faces again.

"So, what did you not do? Ain, you..."

This is a report to the teacher.

Ain answered immediately.

"When I heard Fiquet was down, I should have reported it to my teacher."

"I know, why didn't I?"

"If it was me who put Fiquet in danger, I wanted to take responsibility for it."

Illmis said, "Ah," and then looked at Almark.

"Almark, what did you not do?"

This is a report to the teacher.

Almark answered immediately.

"When Ain told me about Fiquet in the morning, I should have told the teacher."

"I know, why didn't I?"

"Ain was going to be in danger alone."

Almark answered.

"Ain's determination seemed solid, and I thought it would be useless to stop him. Then I thought I'd go too."

"Why?"

"Because I didn't think it was a courageous thing to let Ain go alone."

I see.

Ilumis shook his head with a harsh expression.

"You're mistaken."

Say that and look at the two of you.

"Things have priorities."

Illmis pointed at Fiquet.

"In this case, Fiquet's life should be the first priority. Your pride and courage are secondary."

Ficke nodded.

"The longer the soul is drained, the more Fiquet's life will be in danger. Nothing but luck saved Fiquet this time."

And then Ilumis continued.

"The encounter with the Beast was unexpected to you, but I don't think that even if you make a mistake in this victory, it's because of your own strength. Your victory was supported by incredible luck."

"Yes"

Almark nodded honestly.

I know it painfully myself.

If it weren't for your mother's pendant, Eldane would have trampled you to death.

"Curiosity is not a bad thing. But consider the weight of the matter. Before you cloud your eyes with emotion, look as it is in front of you. Do you understand?"

"Yes"

Almark and Ain respond mysteriously.

"If you know what I mean, don't ever do anything like this again."

The two nodded in the words of Ilmis.

Ilumis continued with a harsh expression.

"Fike, it was a disaster, but you should be careful with your recklessness."

Yes!

Fiquet answers energetically.

"Morgan and Wendy came to me crying."

Illmis said so and saw Almark.

"Don't let your friends look like that."

"Yes"

Imagine the two of them running to Ilumis crying, and Almark's chest was stuffed.

Ilmis nevertheless eased his expression a little at the end.

"Nevertheless, I'm really glad we're all safe. What's more important is that."

After Ilumis told me to drink Celia's medicinal water and look into the case here, the five were released.

For the first time outside, Almark and the others realized that it was almost midnight.

On the way from the school building to the dorm, Fiquet talked about events in the cave in the book with pleasure, and Morgan nodded with courtesy occasionally yawning, but Ain didn't say anything, and Almark and Wendy said little.

When I entered the dorm, I broke up with each room.

Ain and Fiquet, now, raise their hands and go up the stairs.

Wendy, Morgan.

Almark looks back at the two of them.

"I'm really sorry to bother you today."

"It's okay."

Morgan shakes his head with a smile.

"I'm really glad Almark and the others are safe."

"Yeah, I'm really glad."

Wendy nodded.

"But you're right, don't be rude anymore."

Wendy's voice trembled a little.

"I don't want to feel that way anymore."

"Sorry."

Almark apologized. I remember Wendy's body trembling when she hugged me.

"I won't let you think that anymore."

That's what I said from the bottom of my heart.

"But thank you for worrying. I was happy."

When Almark said so, Wendy nodded small.

Ain stopped Almark walking into his room in the third floor hallway from behind.

"Almark"

Almark looks back and looks suspicious.

Ain. I thought you went back to your room with Ficke. "

"I just wanted to say one word to you. I've been chasing you."

That's what Ain said when he walked up to Almark and slapped him on the shoulder.

"It's a difficult future. Son of a blacksmith."

"Eh?"

"Thank you so much for your help today. Believe it or not, I'm on your side."

Speaking in an impatient tone, he turned his back on Almark.

That's all I'm talking about.

The last time he said that, Ain went down the stairs.
