Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand

Wallis stood up again as everyone lively discussed the script in their respective groups.

"Guys, listen up. Everyone but Culime will have to do it from behind."

Wallis said.

"I don't have time for blurriness other than my turn. Must be performed with sound, light, and magic that fits the scene. Let's decide in advance who will be in charge of the show and where."

That's how I flip the script.

"It's impossible to go backwards just before and immediately after your turn. Thinking about it, I'll assign it. Do you have any objections?"

Of course, no one has any objection.

"That's what you're going to do from the beginning. Make up your mind."

When the torque throws, Wallis laughs distorted.

"Torque. You're in the middle of a play, you hardly have a chance. I'm going to make sure you're on the other side."

Shit, the torque hits your tongue.

Whatever you want.

"Oh, I'll let you do whatever you want."

After that, Wallis looks at everyone again.

"There's a lot to do."

That's how Wallis spread his hands.

"What kind of performance do you make for each scene? What do you do with conversations and movements that aren't in the script? I have to think about it all. It is also consistent with other scenes. Of course, memorizing the dialogues written in the script is a big assumption."

Everyone will be quiet as if the liveliness just now were a lie.

Well, Wallis continued when Almark thought it would be tough.

"In addition to that, we must make costumes and props. We can't all be uniformed robes. The background isn't just magical. Even if we think about our magical powers, we need some form of originality."

Uh-huh

Nelson exaggerates.

"We don't have enough time."

"I have permission to ask Dr. Fear to devote some of my class time to the preparation of the play."

Wallis says.

"But, of course, it's just not enough time. From today, all those who can stay will stay after school. I'm getting ready."

That said, I look around the classroom, which is completely quiet.

"Any objections?

"... I can't help it."

It was Norish who said that.

"Nice script. I think it would be an absolutely wonderful play if we did it right."

Norish held the script carefully in her chest and smiled at the culime.

"We can't ruin the script Curime worked so hard to make. I have to do my best."

Curime crouched with joy.

I see.

Nelson nodded.

"I'm staying. Every day until the Magic Festival!

"Perhaps it would be nice to be left with you every day."

Norish said slightly.

"Hey, you. Tell me honestly how happy you are."

"We don't have so many conversations, so I'll put my weight behind us."

It was Deg who was reluctant to say so.

"Hey, Garaine."

Garaine nodded silently.

"Say anything. People who play a lot have to practice."

Deg says so and looks at Nelson.

"Sorry, Deg. Thank you."

Nelson worships Deg with one hand.

"Can't we all stay? They said you shouldn't be in the woods for a while."

Morgan says.

Perhaps it was just right.

"I see. If we stay together, I'm sure we'll move on."

Wendy nods to it in a bright voice.

"I'll sew the costume. Curime, tell me what you think later."

"Yeah."

Curime nods.

"And who else can help you?

Wendy raised her hands as if tied.

"I'll do it."

"Me too."

It was Lilty and Pillman.

"Thank you. Nice to meet you."

Wendy smiles at both of them.

"The painting is good for me and the buyer. If you're a woodworker, it's Morgan's solo."

That's what Leido said. He looks at them.

"Yeah, I don't have much dialogue either, so I'll try my best to draw a picture."

Buyers say happily, and Morgan says,

"We need to get some wood somewhere. I'll bring you sweets every day from tomorrow."

and nodded loudly.

"Let's focus on the people around here. Wallis, you got it?

Reido looks back at Wallis.

"Of course. Guys, please."

Wallis nods.

"Lilty, you should learn to sing."

"Yeah."

Lilty nodded shyly.

However, the expression looks a little happy.

"Torque. You should practice playing too."

That's the only reason I'm not convinced.

The torque gripped his face.

"Why am I accompanying Lilty?"

There are two songs that Lilty sings during the play.

The first song sings without accompaniment, but King Demigal, moved by the voice, offers to accompany himself.

And the second song goes along with King Demigal's torque playing keyboard instrument.

"I'm sure you'll be able to play anything. I play to a certain extent. [M] You're definitely the best performer of all."

Torque sighs deeply at Wallis' words.

"Shit, it's a pain in the ass."

"Can the torque play the instrument?"

Wendy nods as Almark whispers softly.

"Didn't Almark know? The torque to play the keyboard instrument is really nice."

Heh.

Speaking of which, Almark recalls once chasing Jalanon with torque in the woods.

Torque finger movement when using the Beast Pursuit technique to color and track Jalanon's smell.

I thought it was a delicate move that I could not imagine from my usual words and deeds, but was it cultivated by playing an instrument?

"More than that, Almark is fine."

Wendy hides her voice and looks at Almark.

"After school, you're going to teach Ilmis."

"Yeah, that's right."

Almark frowned in trouble.

"But I also have a role to play. I have to practice with you and Nelson, and I want to help Morgan with his tools."

That's right.

Wendy looked at Almark in trouble.

"I'll ask the teacher. Until the magic festival, I was wondering if you could devote yourself to the practice of drama."

"I hope you forgive me."

"Yeah."

When I nodded at Wendy's words.

After the martial arts tournament, let's win the most at the Magic Festival.

Nelson raised his voice.

Oops, likes come up from classmates.

Is there an order at the Magic Festival?

When Almark asked and Wendy opened her mouth to answer, the classroom door opened and Fear came in.

"Guys, you're excited."

Fear stood on the podium and smiled at the students' faces.

"But it's time to study. Let's forget about the sorcery festival and teach a lesson."

Yes, the students hurried back to their seats by replying individually.

As a result, Almark fell ill without asking the question.
