Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand

The performance continued.

When Almark was confused by his emotions and listening to the performance without stopping tears, he was held by his hand almost simultaneously from left to right.

From the left, hold on tight.

From the right, I tend to refrain.

The girl next to Almark both cared about Almark and couldn't speak, so she held her hand and encouraged her.

Almark opens his eyes, moves his mouth and tells them that he's sorry.

Lilty, who held her right hand, gently released her hand after carefreely looking at Almark's face.

Wendy, holding her left hand, raised her eyebrows and looked worried about Almark, then held her hand firmly again.

I'm with you.

I felt Wendy was telling me that.

When the performance was over and the audience applauded, Almark applauded and apologized shamefully to both of his neighbors.

"I'm sorry. I just remembered home."

That's right.

Wendy nods.

"Almark, you haven't been home in the summer."

"Besides, it was a beautiful song. The tune change along the way was amazing."

Lilty says.

"I'm impressed, too."

What kind of song is that?

"I don't know. I'll ask you later."

Lilty added happily after saying so.

"But I can't believe you're so impressed. I'm glad you came."

The last song began to play.

It was a very famous song, and Almark had heard the melody several times during his journey.

A bright and cheerful melody that is the opposite of the previous northern song.

It seemed like the best song to play at the end and send the audience out in a good mood.

"What's the name of this song?"

Ask Wendy next door gently.

"Summer on Nork Island."

Wendy whispered back and smiled.

At the end of the concert, Almark and the others meet again in front of the concert hall.

"That was wonderful."

Wallis smiles calmly as usual.

Hello, everybody.

It is still the class member who confirms the number of people.

"Lilty and Norish say hello to the band before they leave. Nelson"

Oh.

Suddenly called, Nelson, who was playing Raido, raised his face.

You stay with them.

"Well, why me?

"It's already this time. You can't let two girls come home at night."

In Wallis' words, Nelson,

Well, yeah.

and nodded and embraced Raido's shoulders.

Well then, Leido, you stay, too.

"Oh, that's fine."

As always, Raidow takes over pleasantly.

Thank you, Raido.

Wallis smiled at Reido and looked around at everyone.

"Then it's too late for everyone else, so don't stop by and go home. I have class tomorrow, so don't be late for bed."

Everyone replies individually and the atmosphere becomes disbanded.

Nice concert.

It was Ain who tapped Almark on the shoulder.

"Oh, that was great."

Almark nodded.

Actually, I cried.

"The song in the north."

"Yeah."

I see.

Ain narrowed his eyes.

"You have a lot of sensitivity."

"It's not like that."

Almark shakes his head.

"I just remembered home and my father."

I see.

"Hey, Ain!

The collar is waving his hand over there.

"Everybody's leaving. You're going home with me."

"Yeah, I'm coming."

Ain answers with his hands up.

"I'm supposed to go home with the guys I was sitting with. The colored one was kind to Wallis."

That's what Ain said, tapping Almark on the shoulder.

"Tell me about the North again. See you at school."

"Oh, good night."

Almark also struck Ain lightly on the back.

Each group of students began to return in small groups.

Nelson and Raidow are standing in front of the music to wait for Lilty and Norish.

"Nelson"

Almark called out.

Shall I stay too?

Fine.

Nelson waves.

"Two is enough. Go home with Wendy and Morgan."

"Okay."

Almark answers.

"I will. See you tomorrow."

Oh, goodbye.

"Good night, Almark."

Nelson and Raidow wave with a smile.

Looking back, Almark looked for Wendy and Morgan.

Morgan was walking ahead with the buyer and Pillman with a big yawn.

I can't see any more girls, including Wendy.

You're late.

Almark walked out on his own.

I thought about catching up with the Morgans, but I think it's not bad for anyone to soak up the finish of the music.

Looking up at the moon, Almark thought of his father who would fight in the north.

Mercenaries are ruthless businesses.

Even a mercenary as famous as his father doesn't know when to lose his life.

I want to see my father.

But the north is too far.

Even if you spend the entire summer vacation and use white carriages and carriages as much as you can to get there, you won't even be able to reach the Menover Strait.

If I could see my father next time, when would it be?

Maybe when I became a good sorcerer.

Almark reconsidered.

Yes, it is.

First of all, I'll be a fine magician. [M]

I can't believe I want to see you until I'm a magician who can see my father with his chest open.

Until then, I will believe that your father will be well.

Dad, the Black Wolf Cavalry is strong.

That's why I'm fine.

That's how I tried to regain my feelings.

"Almark"

I suddenly heard a reluctant voice.

It was Wendy.

I stood by the side of the road and looked at Almark worriedly.

"I was walking with Selaha and Culime."

Wendy walks up to Almark with that.

"I was worried about Almark. I was tired, and I was kind of at the concert."

"So you waited for me. Thank you."

Almark smiled.

Walking side-by-side, Almark apologizes to Wendy.

"I'm sorry for showing embarrassment earlier. I cry surprisingly often."

"That's not true."

Wendy shakes her head.

"It's not great to hear music and cry."

I guess so.

"Yeah."

Wendy nods.

"Do you miss the North?

That's what I'm worried about.

Hmm.

Almark twisted his neck.

"I feel like I miss you a little different. I don't even know myself."

Almark remembers the song he heard today.

When I remembered it, my chest still felt painful, but it felt a little different from being painful.

"Thanks to Wendy and everybody, life here is so much fun."

"Yeah."

"But I'm glad I heard that song today."

Almark said that from the bottom of his heart.

"Yes."

Wendy smiles reassuringly.

"If Almark was good, that's it."

"Thank you."

Almark remembers that he had to tell Wendy about the day properly.

"Wendy, I have some business for lunch today."

"Yeah."

Wendy nods.

It was about Leila.

"Leila's"

Wendy watches with a little surprise.

"Yeah."

Almark nodded and tried to start talking, but he worried about where to start.

Before we get to Leila, there are a lot of people involved.

At least we have to talk about Koren.

"Hey, it's going to be a long story. Listen."

"Yes, of course."

Wendy nods.

Let me hear it.

"Okay."

Almark started talking.

A sudden visit to Koren.

Witness a duel between Polois and Garrel.

Two famous names and a mouthful of words.

Redo.

"Wait, wait, wait."

Wendy stuck her mouth in confusion.

"When does Leila come out?"

Maybe a little further.

"A little further. Okay."

Wendy nods.

"Go on."

"Yeah, and then...."

Almark spoke.

A duel between Polois and the others.

A wrestling match.

Appeal against ruling.

Garrell's escape from Morpheus' memory loss.

"Sorry."

Wendy was sorry.

Leila hasn't come out yet.

Almost there.

"Almost. Yeah, I got it."

Wendy nodded.
