Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand

Even so, Al Marc had only clothes supplied at the academy, but he still cleansed his body and managed to dress up to the point where he left the room.

I also checked Morgan and Nelson's rooms, but they were already gone.

The sunset is falling completely, and it's getting to be a good night.

I have to get there before I'm too late.

Wendy taught me the directions in her head, and as she tried to leave the dorm, she was called "Hey" from behind.

Looking back, there was a torque braced to the side of the large front door.

"Hey, Torque."

The torque does not respond to it and glances gently from Almark's head to toe.

"A concert?"

"Yeah, well, aren't you going?"

"Sit quietly and listen to music."

After Torque laughs with his nose, he looks at Almark's face.

What is it?

You went to the woods today.

Ah.

Almark remembers crossing the torque in the forest in the morning.

Speaking of which, I missed you this morning.

"You've been running a lot."

I was in a hurry.

"What are you doing in the morning in the woods?"

Torque laughs ironically when he says so.

"I met Leila in the dorm in the evening."

Torque says.

"I was worried because I didn't look so good. I don't know what Leila said."

"I don't know."

Almark shook his head.

In the meantime, I'm relieved to learn that Leila is back in the dorm.

"It's okay, thanks for worrying about me. Besides, smile."

The torque gripped his face.

"I've been with him for almost three years, but I can't count on being thanked. Not to mention never smiling."

That's what makes me tremble.

"That was creepy."

I see.

Almark smiled.

I wish Leila was energetic enough to talk to the torque properly.

"I've never seen Leila like that before. You must have done something."

"Me? Why me?"

"I knew he was in the woods because of Leila's outfit. So I connected to you in the morning."

The torque stared at Almark.

"You did something to Leila. So Leila changed."

"No way."

Almark laughs.

"If Leila changed, maybe that's because she wanted to change herself."

Say that and smile back at the torque face.

"People don't change unless they want to. I thought that was what you knew best."

Hmm.

Torque sounds boring in Almark's words.

"I haven't changed."

I guess so.

Almark wrinkles his neck.

"I think you've changed a lot since I first met you."

"Stop it."

The torque shook his neck.

"It's not about me. I'm talking about Leila."

After saying that, he frowned as he remembered.

"Either way, that's bad."

"Shit, what do you want?"

"Oh, shit."

Torque looked at Almark with a sick face.

"If Leila's horns come off, she'll be stronger than ever. Sooner or later, Rosfilia will be able to overtake us."

"Hahaha"

Almark laughed.

"Isn't that amazing? What's wrong with you?"

"Leila should have a tough face in the corner of the classroom. I was going to pull you out eventually, but you didn't have to do it."

"So it's not me."

"I can't believe it. You're right."

The torque shook his neck.

"You look like you don't want to do anything, and you're always doing something stupid in the shadows, you know?"

Say that and turn around.

Bye. Don't be late for the concert. "

Torque, wait.

Almark stopped the torque.

"What is it?"

The torque looks troublesome.

This outfit looks weird when I go to the concert.

"You know what?"

The torque made an astonishing noise.

"There's nothing weird about it. You only have those clothes."

Well...

"Well, that's the only way to go."

Torque tried to leave with just that, but at the end he turned around and added.

Well, I think I can just leave that stick behind.

For the first time, Almark realized that he was holding Mars' wand.

Almark walks early in the city.

Almark, who had barely left the academy in the evening since his admission, walked freshly through the city of Nork with a different face than during the day.

Oh, is this street bustling at night?

I see, is this store open at this time?

Walk with that in mind.

The concert hall is further.

Good, we'll make it in time.

"Almark!

Looking back suddenly from the side, Morgan stood.

He is holding a vessel of juice in his hand.

"Morgan. You're eating something again."

"Yeah, that stall over there."

Morgan points to the stall across the street with a spoon.

"I refused to listen to music and I was hungry, but Nelson was persistent."

Say that and drink the juice.

"So, before the concert, put your belly on."

I see.

Almark remembered that he hasn't spoken badly since morning.

Well, I guess I'll have a drink too.

"Does Almark get hungry when he listens to music? Then I'll show you the recommended menu."

Almark walks to the stall with Morgan.

"Almark"

After ordering the food, Morgan mogs his mouth.

"Looks like something happened today."

You know what I mean?

Almark laughs bitterly at Morgan.

"I know."

Morgan answers and pushes the spoon into the vessel.

"Oh, I don't have any more gear. I think I'll have another drink."

After that, Almark laughs with a smile.

"You're easy to understand."

Almark shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I can't hide anything from you. I'll talk to you later."

Almark was scratching the stall juice alongside Morgan.

"Why are you guys eating here?"

and a voice was heard from behind.

Looking back, Nelson stood with a gloomy face.

Next to that, there's Raidow.

"Hey, Nelson, Raido."

Almark waved at them and drank the rest of the juice.

"It's delicious. Would you like some?"

I don't need it.

Nelson shook his head and sighed.

"I'm here to find you because the girls and children are worried you're not coming yet. I knew Morgan would be around anyway, but I didn't think he'd catch Almark."

"I missed my meal."

Almark answers.

"Well, I'm glad you found it."

Reido smiles.

"If you've finished eating, let's go. It's already starting."

"That's right. I don't want you guys to, uh, let the girls cum."

"You're not here, you're here without Almark."

That's what Morgan said, and he drank the juice in a shame.

"Both of you. Here we go."

Nelson reminded him that Almark and Morgan had paid and left the stall.

Ah, a concert.

Morgan stretches.

"I wonder if I can get up to the end."

"Don't just snore."

Nelson says.

I'm looking forward to it.

Almark smiles.

"What kind of music can I listen to?"

Almark walked out of town at night alongside Nelson and the others.
