Time goes back a little.

Zap and Fita, who broke up with Al Marc, walked down the dark path of the forest.

Divide.

"We're closer."

Zap is the lamp that illuminates the end of the road.

Radmar, what do you think?

Asked by Fita, Radmar points to the end of the road.

"There's one little darkness ahead. You should stop on this road."

You can't stay here either.

Zap frowned.

He's not here.

Radmar's way of pointing is the opposite of the school building.

Well, um...

Zap looks into the sky and draws a path to the map in his head.

"Just turn right on the three main roads along the way. Let's go."

With Zap at the forefront, the three follow a dark path again.

Even though Radmar could feel the darkness, once in a while, the chestnuts and bushes shaken, and the three shook their shoulders.

It's okay. I'm not scared.

Zap raised his voice.

"There is no darkness here."

Yes, I'm not scared.

Pheta speaks up in response.

"The road always leads somewhere."

Radmar was surprised at the two people who were completely convinced of their abilities as they walked past the end.

To be honest, I told the third graders that I knew the darkness, but I just had a fuzzy feeling that I understood it, and I didn't actually confirm anything.

I am confident that this will be the case, but after all, it is only a story within me, and it is not really one of the reasons why they believe in Radmar.

Not to mention Radmar just tried to use the power of darkness to kill Almark.

And yet they believe in the power of Radmar.

I don't doubt that there is a dark monster at the tip of Radmar's finger.

How can you believe it so much?

Even if I were in the position of two people, could I do this?

Turn right here.

Zap looks back at Radmar at the branch that arrived.

Radmar nods silently. Darkness is still far away.

"Okay, let's keep going."

Pheta makes a bright voice.

I didn't usually care, but Radmar knew that Fita was a quiet girl.

I was calm and shut up even if I wanted to say something. It's always like that in the classroom.

"It's okay, I can go home."

Radmar has never heard such a lively voice from Fita.

I was just trying to make it zap, yes.

It was completely discreet among men, and that's why I couldn't complain when I was pushed into trouble like myself.

Yet now he is taking the lead bravely.

What if I was lying? The truth is, if there's darkness ahead of us,

I was the first one to feed.

Zap and Fita were walking very well, approaching Radmar's feelings.

The effect of Wendy's flying leg technique was of course great, but I didn't think it was the only one for Radmar.

Like I got something, I'm sure these two got something tonight.

Thanks to those three third graders.

After walking the road for a while, the distant darkness began to feel flickering again.

You can't walk like this.

Radmar calls out to Zap at the head.

"Is there a side road on the way?"

"Why?"

Zap looks back.

"Not yet, I'm fine now."

Radmar points forward with that in front of him.

"I'm right ahead."

Didn't I just say he wasn't here?

Zap frowned.

"I didn't feel it earlier."

Radmar replied.

"But when I got close, I realized I was there."

Zap stops and scratches his head.

"Don't walk a little further down the curve."

"Apart from that, I'm not coming any closer. It's just that he's right up ahead."

Radmar added.

"We may be able to reach that curved road without encountering it."

Eighteen or one.

Zap illuminates the road with a lamp.

Shall we go?

"No."

Fita rejected it so clearly that they both looked at her unexpectedly.

"No, let's go back to the junction. Let's go through the darkness."

"But"

"If I say no, no. If you meet darkness, it's over."

Fita's words were correct.

Zap nodded as if he had been poisoned.

I see. I can't help it, I have to go back. "

Radmar nodded without saying anything.

The three of them start going back the way they came back.

As usual, the two men walked lightly.

But Radmar felt his feet getting heavier.

Even though I have no health today, I couldn't help it.

For other students, the journey was an endless journey.

Not to mention capturing the power of darkness and releasing untrained magic.

Even though Wendy was flying her feet, she was slowly approaching her limit.

Finally returning to the earlier branch, Zap looks back at Radmar.

"Radmar, is there darkness?"

Radmar sees the end of each path.

The farthest way to darkness is to the left. It's the first way we came.

Saying that, Zap's face was obviously cloudy.

"Are you coming back?"

That's true.

After avoiding the darkness and passing two branches, let's go back to the first branch. You won't like it.

"It's not going anywhere since then."

According to Zap, Radmar shrugs his shoulders.

"I just told him where the darkness was. I don't know where the road is going."

"Shit."

Zap kicked the grass at his feet.

"I don't feel like going home anymore."

"Then you can go the way you want. No matter where the darkness is."

That's not what I'm talking about.

There is a frustrating color in Zap's eyes.

Hmm.

Again, unsupported trust is like this.

Radmar saw Zap's face with cold eyes.

The harder it gets, the easier it gets.

That's good.

It was Fita who said that.

"If we go back to the junction, we may be able to walk closest to the school building this time."

Well, that's true.

Zap sharpens his mouth.

"If there's darkness beyond that again,"

"Then you can choose your way again."

Pheta said it out loud.

"I believe you. Radmar finds darkness. Zap will find his way."

I look at the two faces alternately.

"I can only trust you two."

"I know. I know that too."

Zap said in a hurry.

"But I want to go home as soon as possible."

"That's true of me, too. But..."

"No, it's not."

Zap shook his head.

Radmar can't walk that long anymore.

To his surprise, Radmar opened his eyes.

"Me?

I'm worried about your health.

Zap says that he is irritated.

"That's why I can't just wander around the same place."

Radmar suddenly lost his word.

When I couldn't say anything, my back suddenly became lighter.

Fita was picking up Radmar's luggage.

"I'll carry it."

"No, I'll take mine."

It's okay.

Fita raises her hand and blocks Radmar's words.

"I have the luggage. That's all I can do anyway. So do what both of you can."

Pheta said that and looked at the two faces alternately again.

With his straight, strong eyes, Radmar turns a blind eye.

"... okay."

Radmar nodded.

No matter how strong they are, their feet are close to their limits.

I knew it was best for Fita to have it.

"Sorry."

"I'm sorry I'm annoyed."

Zap suddenly said so, and began to stand at the forefront of the road again.

"Turn to the school building and we'll be close."

"I'll tell you as soon as I know the darkness."

As Radmar shouted at Zap's back, Zap nodded back.

After walking for a while and returning to the branch, the road towards the school building was finally paved.

Saying that brightens Zap and Fita's face.

"All right, let's go!

"Let's go!

The two of you walk out in one voice.

It's cash.

Radmar couldn't help but be impressed by the strength of the two, as if he were someone else.

When I say I trust you, I trust you.

They were penetrating it.

After all, I am the weak one. [M]

Radmar followed them with pain.

I can still walk.

I told myself that.

The darkness of the forest is getting a little darker again.
