When Almark left the classroom, he decided to look for a place like Nelson's.

It's getting dark already.

As expected, he will not have gone to the woods.

I put it on.

Vacant classroom.

Canteen.

Behind the martial arts arena.

But I couldn't find Nelson anywhere I looked.

Instead, they found Wendy and Norish sitting by the fountain in the courtyard of the school building.

The two of them were talking about something, but Norish seemed to be crying.

We can't get anywhere near it.

Wendy finds Almark in sight as she tries to leave.

"Almark!

That's what I'm going to do.

No, no, it wouldn't be good if I went.

Almark shook his neck silently with his face down.

But Wendy still invites.

I'm looking for Nelson.

Almark couldn't help but say.

"Just come here."

Wendy stood up and replied, asking him to jump.

I can't see Norish's face lying down.

Almark approached reluctantly, thinking, "Wow."

On the banks of the humorous fountain where the sculpture jar is blowing water from the mouth, it is a bit chilly at this time of year just in the water field.

Norish sat on the curb and stared at the stone at her feet.

Remarks, you're done.

Wendy told me, and Almark nodded.

"Yeah, so when I came to the classroom, Nelson said he left alone, so I came looking for him, but I couldn't find him."

I thought so.

Wendy nods.

"I'm sure Norish will understand."

That's how I look at Norish.

"Look, Norish."

"Upstairs in the school building, north of the hallway."

Norish told him to murmur without raising his face.

"There's an old sofa in the shadow. That's Nelson's favorite."

That's right.

Almark is impressed.

"Thank you. I'll go."

Wait, Almark.

Wendy grabbed the hem of Almark's walking robe.

"Before I go to Nelson, I just need a little consultation."

"Is there something I can talk to you about?"

Almark turned around and twisted his neck.

"I wish I could help."

I can be.

Wendy said it.

"You know, Norish says it's hard for Nelson to be a knight and not be the queen's maid."

Ah.

Almark nodded.

"That's why I got into an argument. I just heard it from Raidow."

"Yeah, that's why I want to ask Almark."

"What a maid."

Norish took over Wendy's words.

"I've never thought about it. Unlike Nelson, who always wanted to be a knight. That's why my dialogues don't have hearts. Nelson is so passionate about words, and I have nothing to say to respond to it."

Norish chewed his lips with regret.

"Let him tell you, he's just tracing the script. I'm sorry, but you're right. I'm angry with him, but what he's saying isn't so wrong."

"I didn't feel so uncomfortable watching them act."

Wendy looked at Almark with an unfortunate face.

"I didn't realize the temperature difference between the two. I think Norish played well."

"Yeah, I think so."

Almark nodded.

"Norrish played very well."

"But"

Norish looked up at Almark.

"I can see it myself. Standing next to Nelson doesn't make it."

That's right.

Almark narrowed his eyes.

"I'm an amateur in theater, and I don't see a lot of acting between them in my majors, so I can't say that's great."

Looking back at the sharp eyes, including Norish's tears.

"Nelson didn't act in the first place."

"You're not acting?

Wendy looks suspicious.

"What do you mean?

Yeah, I don't know.

Almark scratched his head.

"I'm sure that's what Nelson wanted."

Almark answered to confirm the words.

"Dialogue by dialogue, Nelson is not playing with passion. No, I wonder if he's going to play it. But at that time, on that occasion, Nelson wasn't playing, but he was really talking with that in mind. That's a dialogue, not a dialogue. That's not what Nelson says because it's in the script, but because he really thinks so."

Almark somehow understood Nelson's feelings.

I once traveled with a swordsman of a similar spirit.

I don't know how he felt then, but now I feel like I can somehow understand him.

On a trip.

At college.

In repeating the various encounters and farewells, it has gradually become more and more clear.

"What, that?"

After a while of silence, Norish said that it was dull.

"So, is he really alive in ancient times?

"Yeah, when the play starts. Nelson's heart will be an ancient knight."

Almark said.

"I feel like I know why Curime put Nelson in the lead. Nelson has a straightness that can pull this story alone. Nelson can show guests the ancient landscape, even without magic."

"Well, then, I..."

Norish shook his head.

"What should I do? I can't be an ancient maid next to such an idiot."

"That's..."

Almark shook his head with regret.

"Until then, I don't know. I'm sorry."

"Yeah."

Wendy said.

"From there, I'm sure I'll understand."

Eh?

Almark looks at Wendy in surprise.

Wendy had a soft smile on her face.

"Thank you for telling me. I'll tell you the rest."

Wendy sat down again next to Norish.

"Almark, go to Nelson."

"... okay."

Almark nodded.

Turning his back on the two of them, he walked a few steps and turned around with concern.

"If it's going to be a long time, you should change the place. It's getting a little cold in here."

"Thank you."

Wendy smiled and finally Norish smiled slightly as if she had been followed.
