Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand
Departure
It was a restaurant that usually only eats lunch, and was supposed to start after having an early dinner.
That's when Radmar came home.
On the way to the cafeteria, from the wrong Ain,
"Are you guys here today?"
and can speak up.
"Oh, Ain and the others did it last time, didn't they?"
"It was just before the concert."
Ain nods.
You guys be careful.
"Careful?
Ain nodded when Almark raised his eyebrows in a deep word.
"Last year Fiquet was injured when he climbed a tall tree to show a good place to a girl. The movements of junior students are unexpectedly unreadable."
"Oh, that's right...."
Almark nodded and Ain glanced at the member's face.
Hmm.
"Almark, you went to the diner first."
Ah, yeah.
As he waved his hand to Wendy, Almark looked back.
"Radmar Trayholm."
Ain murmured after Wendy and the others left.
"Do you know? I heard he was a prince."
When Almark asked back, Ain nodded.
"It's not just him. I know everyone in elementary school. He is one of the sons of the sisters of the present king of the Volcado kingdom. Well, it must be royalty, but it's not a prince. Even though it's low, I suppose you have the right to inherit the throne."
Heh.
"Well, be careful over there. Royalty is mostly just a mouth."
Ain tries to leave by tapping Almark on the shoulder.
"Ain, that's not like you."
Ain looks back at Almark's words with a slightly false face.
"... that's right."
After nodding small and acknowledging the words, Ain added just one word.
"Well, he's actually at the bottom of the line. I'm sure it's going to take a long time."
Really?
Almark thinks that the behavior of standing up may also be a sign of lack of confidence.
Nevertheless, I look at Ain's leaving back and think.
Ain doesn't seem to have very good feelings for the royal family.
The reaction to Prince Wolf at the martial arts tournament was also cold.
There must be a lot of Ain.
Everyone has something on their shoulders.
It's the same with me.
Almark turned his heel and followed Wendy and the others.
Fita and Zap had already solidified both ends of Wendy when they went to the table for a simple dinner in the dining room.
"I'm totally connected to Wendy."
As Morgan whispers, they talk to Wendy with a smile on their face.
I'm sure Wendy will be happy to react to it more politely than ever.
"So, what about Radmar?
Almark asked Morgan after seeing it with a smile.
"Over there."
At the tip of Morgan's finger, Radmar was sitting alone in a seat away from everyone and eating.
"I want to be alone."
I see. I'm in trouble. "
Almark smiled bitterly.
"You can eat alone, but I hope you don't tell me you don't want to walk the road with me."
"Then I won't share the sweets with you."
Morgan looks up and says so while carrying the meal to his mouth.
"I don't like that."
As he laughed, Almark looked around the other tables.
Everywhere else seems to be eating in a generally pleasant way.
Leila's smile was a bit harsh, but Leido looked after the junior students well.
Needless to say, Wallis doesn't have that kind of attitude, and the torque squad seems to be working hard at Serrah for the captain's ruthlessness.
The most exhilarating is still Nelson and Norrish's team, with no hesitation in laughing like a familiar group coming up from junior students.
"Everywhere else looks fun."
Morgan's voice seems to envy me somehow.
"Only we are the prince's amulets."
"Well, don't say that, Morgen."
Almark laughs at Morgan's words.
According to Ain, it seems inappropriate to call him a prince, but well, that's fine.
"It's been a long night. You just have to figure it out."
I can figure it out, hey
Morgan sighed.
"I think the sun will show its face before we can figure it out."
When they assembled at the entrance to the forest, the sun was completely sunken.
Lamps in the hands of second-year students often illuminate their faces.
Thereafter, each group will depart.
There are five locations for collecting medicinal herbs in total, but the order in which they are collected varies from group to group.
Sometimes we cross paths, but we can't act together in different groups.
"We're from the Mogatsukibana harvest."
Morgan looks at the itinerary and says.
"You have to walk from the beginning."
Wendy nods when she says so.
Pheta and Zap are stuck to each other on Wendy's sides.
Radmar stands alone and kicks the stone at his feet.
"Al Mark and the others are from Mogatsukibana."
It was Nelson who called.
We're from Mikirihanexa.
I see. Be careful not to get a rash. "
Oh.
Nelson raised his hand with a smile and looked at Almark strangely.
Why are you carrying such a mess?
"Oh, this."
Almark looks back at his dagger.
"The teacher told me to keep only one person in the class just in case."
Almark returns the answers he had prepared in advance for when he was asked.
I see. Somewhat like a night forest. I don't know if there's a monster out there. "
That's what Nelson nods at.
Hee. Then I would have brought a sword from the martial arts. "
Almark laughs as he sees Nelson shaking his wand in frustration.
"You really like martial arts."
"Because I'm the man to be a magician to be a knight."
Nelson laughs back and says, "Hey, guys, let's go!" Speak up.
Nelson's group disappears into the woods with a pleasant laugh mixed up with Norish's voice, "Don't make Nelson look great."
Sounds like fun.
Morgan says enviously.
Approximately. We are ours. "
In Almark's words, Morgen said,
"You say things like your mother."
And I looked at Almark with my eyes.
"Well, if you walk a lot, the sweets will taste good."
Morgan stretched as if he had regained consciousness.
Come on, let's go too.
"Yeah."
Almark speaks to Wendy and the others.
"Can we all go?"
Wendy nodded and Fita and Zap replied cheerfully.
Good boys. Almark nodded back.
Radmar, let's go.
Whether Almark's words are heard or not, Radmar does not raise his face.
"Radmar"
Wendy called.
Let's go.
"I know."
Radmar's moody voice came back.
She seems willing to follow me.
Almark looked up at the forest at night.
Now, what night will it be?
"Let's go."
Again, Almark walked out.
