If we're going to convince Leila, we'll have to hold her off on her way to the fountain cave.
Otherwise, you won't listen to me. [M]
When he enters the classroom thinking about that, Almark breaks up with Reido and sits in his seat.
Wendy from the next seat was already here, talking in her usual group of girls.
"Good morning."
When Almark called out, Norish and Lilty, who were gathered in Wendy's seat, returned the greeting with a smile.
Good morning, Almark.
The voices overlapped beautifully, and the three of them laughed face to face.
"Ah, yes."
Tap Wendy on the shoulder, as Norish came up with.
"Will Al Mark invite you?
"Hmm... I don't know. I wonder if Almark would be interested."
Wendy laughed confused.
"Nh, what are you talking about?
When Almark asks, Wendy smiles as if she had trouble responding.
It's my next holiday.
Norish answered.
"The band that Lilty's dads know is coming to Nork Island to play."
"Band"
Almark repeated the words he had heard for a long time.
"Well, Lilty's parents are certain."
"Yeah."
Lilty nodded shyly and Norish explained instead.
"Yes, I'm a musician at the Royal Academy of Music in the Kingdom of Foretta."
Luxurious and frightening, Lilty has occasionally brought sweets to Almark's room since he went looking for handkerchiefs with him in the evening forest.
However, at that time, if you push only the confectionery on Almark with embarrassment, he will leave immediately.
Even today, Lilty seems to have left the explanation to Norish, even though it's her parents' story.
"An orchestra, led by an acquaintance of Lilty's parents, comes to Garento every year to play, but this year it stretches out to Nork Island."
Norish explains it on behalf of Lilty, who looks ashamed next door.
"I have three days of concerts, but one of them is just on the academy holiday, so I was just talking to everyone about going."
Next holiday?
Yesterday's holiday ended with an unexplained duel.
Honestly, I hardly know about music, but it seems interesting to go to a concert with Wendy and the others.
Almark nodded with a smile and noticed Leila sitting alone in a window seat.
Yes, it is.
When I was talking to Ray Doe earlier, I was wondering if Ray was on holiday in the fountain cave.
Koren's words come to life yesterday.
"It's a place where even middle school students can team up."
I want to go to the concert, but I can't let Leila go alone in such a dangerous place.
"Hmm...."
As Almark roared, Wendy's face clouded.
"Oh, I'm not saying it's impossible."
In Norish's words, Almark had no choice.
"Yeah, I'm sorry. I want to go, but I don't have the money."
Answer.
I'm afraid I'll have to say no.
"Fufufufu"
But suddenly Norish laughed invincibly at Almark's words.
"I thought you'd say that."
That's what he said, looking back at Lilty.
Let me show you, Lilty.
"Yeah."
Lilty nodded and took a lot of paper pieces out of the robe sleeve with a small hand.
Look at this.
Norish stretches her chest.
"Is this... a ticket?"
Almark turns his eyes round.
"Correct"
Norish nodded.
"It's not something I'm proud of, but Lilty's father went out of his way to send us so many signed tickets."
"Wow."
"That's why I was talking about inviting other kids. Hey, Lilty."
"Yeah."
Lilty nodded and said, lying ashamed.
"So, Almark, if you don't mind."
Shit. Wrong way to say no.
Almark groans and looks at the tickets in Lilty's hand.
Hmm?
Notice the opening time written on the ticket.
Oh, do you play concerts at night?
"Yeah."
Norish nodded.
"Night concert. Isn't it nice?"
Well, at night, we'll make it.
Almark thought.
If Leila were to go to the fountain cave, it would be during the day.
If there is a considerable distance, as Leido says, I think we should start early in the morning.
Catch Leila leaving the dorm and convince her to stop being rude. Then it looks like we'll make it.
"Okay. Let me go, too."
Wendy and Lilty's face glowed in the words.
You did it.
When Norish told them, Lilty nodded with her ears red and said, "Yeah," and Wendy smiled happily.
"Well, who else?"
and Norish looks around the class.
There's still plenty of tickets.
"Norish, ask Nelson."
When Lilty said in a small voice, Norish looked obviously disgusted.
"Yeah? Nelson doesn't know when to listen to music, I'm sure."
"But I want you to listen to me."
Norish could not help but walk towards Nelson's seat, groaning.
In Almark's ear, Nelson's
Why me and you?
I heard a roaring voice.
"You're not alone!
Norish's yelling was immediately heard, and Almark looked at Wendy and laughed.
After all, Norish's enthusiastic solicitation led all the girls except Leila and all the boys except the three torques to go.
Until the end, Morgan showed difficulty because listening to music made him hungry, but Nelson was so desperately persuaded to hide that he broke.
Almark was also paying attention to how Leila would respond, but he couldn't help but refuse Norish's invitation to do something that day.
After all, Almark thought he might want to go to the fountain cave.
At Norish's invitation, Torque shook his head and nodded, "It's not a pattern." Deg and Garaine nodded.
The torque looked back at the two of them.
"Why don't you guys go? Sometimes I want you to listen to music and clean your mind."
Galaine shook her head silently and Deg laughed, "I'm sure I'll fall asleep on the way."
"So..."
Norish returns to Wendy's seat and tells Wendy and Almark.
"Meet me at the concert hall next holiday."
"Yeah."
"Okay."
They nod.
After Norish returned to her seat, Wendy looked at Almark carefreely.
"Almark, did you actually have any plans for that day? Are you okay?"
"Yeah, a little during the day. It's okay at night."
Almark smiled at Wendy when he said so.
"But it's amazing. I've never seen a concert like this."
Wendy laughs happily at Almark's words.
"That's good. I'm looking forward to it."
"Yeah."
Almark wants to see Wendy's smile over and over again.
To do that, we need to persuade Leila.
I made up my mind.
