Autumn is a fruitful season.
Many plants enrich their potency before winter, just as field crops do.
It is said that the autumn moon has the power to activate magic, but as it is said, there are many plants in the Academy forest that bloom from the moonlight on autumn nights, as well as plants that hang with hoes.
They serve as ingredients for a variety of medicinal baths.
The autumn college event and night herbal harvesting practice are going to collect it. Commonly known as night herb hunting.
On the day before the holiday, waiting for the sun to set, the students formed small groups and entered the forest.
Each group will be assigned a route, follow the sequence and visit the place where the herbs are growing, and finally return to the Academy building to submit the herbs picked that night.
By the time I get back to the dorm, it's almost midnight.
The following week, they are waiting for a practice of making medicinal water using each herb they pick.
The most distinctive feature of this event is that senior students attract junior students.
A third-grader walks through the night forest with a second-year student.
And the following year, the advanced third graders walked through the forest in the same way as the new second graders.
Prior to the last holiday, Ain and the others conducted it once every three years and once every two years.
This time it was two pairs of three years and two pairs of two years for Almark and the others.
Almark and his third graders are divided into five groups of three.
There, an equal number of second-year students were supposed to meet.
After school on the day that medicinal herb hunting was stopped three days later, the two groups were grouped into practical exercises.
Almark joined Morgan and Wendy in a group of three.
Somehow, it's been a long time since I've seen these three.
Wendy smiles happily when she says so.
"Actually, since summer vacation."
That's right.
Morgan nods.
"Almark's been busy with Ain and Leila lately."
No, no, no.
Almark laughs bitterly.
Morgan was also briefed on the events in the fountain cave.
Morgan:
"So Leila changed."
and nodded convincingly.
"But it's been a long time."
Almark said the same thing and looked at the two faces.
Somehow, don't relax.
"That's right. I want to go on a picnic."
Morgan nodded with a smile.
I miss Mr. Cedar's cooking.
Almark and Wendy laugh face to face at Morgan, who names the winter house's cockmaid and looks out the window with a truly nostalgic look.
"Morgan's memory is always tied to food."
In Wendy's words, Morgan nodded with a clear face.
"My stomach has more memory than my brain."
Wallis slowly approached the three laughing people.
"Almark"
Ah.
Almark stood up.
What's going on?
"This is a good opportunity. I'll talk to Lilty during the herbal hunt."
It soon became clear to Almark that Wallis was talking about a play song.
"Thank you. Speaking of which, Wallis was in the same group as Lilitti."
Ah.
Wallis nods.
"The buyer is hanging out."
"Because I'm a medicinal doctor."
Almark smiled.
The other two in Wallis' group are Lilty and the buyer.
The buyer's herbal knowledge is the best in the class, and Celia's cure class
"Buyer, you're Dr. Medicine."
And when I praised, my face turned bright red, and it already seemed happy, so everybody started calling me that sometimes.
"You'll still be in the woods. [M] Don't let them get away."
That's what Wallis said and walked away from Almark.
As he sat back in his chair, Almark glanced at Leila.
Since then, Leila has been coming to see if Almark has had any medicinal water every day.
When Almark answered, "I drank it," he nodded and left.
To be honest, Celia's medicinal water tasted and smelled incredible, and in the morning, immediately after drinking it, Almark was told by Morgan, "Did it fall from the morning to the morning?"
I will endure it once or twice, but it is painful every day. Certainly, the deans will be punished.
Remembering Leila, who came to check in every day, encouraged her to manage to drink the bitter liquid.
Recently, Leila used to talk to her classmates.
It was originally about her magical powers and her beauty and wisdom. Soon people gathered around me.
The rumor that Leila had changed seemed to be spreading not only to boys in the class, but also to boys in the school year.
That's all, until now, there have been many boys who didn't want to get close to the beautiful Leila.
Still, from time to time, Leila was still looking out the window by herself, like she was before, thinking about something.
At that time, Leila was still wearing a hardness that kept people away, and her classmates were reluctant to speak up.
Leila was in the same group as Garaine and Raidow this time.
Garaine is as quiet as ever and not sure what she's thinking, but Reido is quietly talking to Leila.
Almark thought it would be a relief to be with Reido.
Almark seemed to think Leila was still doing something impossible, but I thought Leido would do better.
Beyond that, Nelson and Norish are as close to each other as ever in a fight. Curime and Pillman were in the same group. This is just a group of four, influenced by Almark's transfer.
The two watched with a smile as Nelson's interaction began again, but the interesting eyes of seeing Curime in particular seemed like they were about to become the subject of a play.
Even though we go to the usual woods, walking alone at night with our friends is still special.
Everyone had a somewhat gorgeous atmosphere.
"Selaha seems happy."
Wendy smiles.
That's right.
Almark looked at Wendy and nodded.
The person Serrah is talking to with a smile is torque.
Almark got a call from Wendy a few days ago.
"Selaha said that the torque these days is a bit good."
I was told that.
At that time, Almark twisted his neck and said, "I've never heard of a girl from torque."
Now, while Serrah talks hard to the torque, the torque answers lightly without a smile, but I don't know what kind of emotion it is.
"Deg seems happier than torque."
Almark said that Wendy nodded strangely when she saw Deg smiling next to him.
Really?
