The day of the sorcery festival is finally approaching.

Rumor has it that three sets of plays have finally been consolidated, and we are in a hurry to practice again.

They say that one group is in the process of raising the level of completion of the play by knocking down two groups, focusing on Ain, a class member.

"I can't lose two pairs."

Wallis says the stage director has been on the board lately.

"We compete for quality. Let's improve the completeness of each scene."

Practice on the stage in the auditorium several times.

Some of the problems that emerged were also being solved with everyone's efforts and ingenuity.

It's worth it, and the play goes smoothly.

Are you breaking up with Wendy again?

As the scene approaches, Almark becomes depressed.

I can't get used to it no matter how many times I play it.

Nelson and I had consulted and practiced together, and evolved into something even more powerful and heavy, but the scene of our subsequent parting with our lover Wendy remained the same.

Almark hasn't rushed to Wendy since he disappeared, but he's never been able to say anything, and it's the end of the line.

Wendy just looked down sadly and disappeared.

Whenever Wendy disappears from her sight, Almark feels a sense of loss as if something inside of her is being taken away.

Afterwards, even though Wendy appeared again on stage sleeves, the painful feeling at that time was real.

"Is that your last scene?"

After dropping Wendy off without saying anything, Wallis called out, but Almark nodded ambiguously.

"Well, if that's okay. That's it. That's emotional."

Wallis glances at Wendy, who tends to get off the stage face to face.

"I hope that's your act. If not, do something quickly."

Almark saw Wallis.

"What can I do?"

"I won't tell you."

Wallis has no island.

"I'm not in that position. Do something for yourself."

And soon, I turn my eyes to the stage.

"Seraha, you'd better keep your voice down there.... yes, that's it."

Almark leaves Wallis quietly so he doesn't get in the way.

There was still a little time before the last scene I was in charge of.

"Almark"

Soon Leila was next door.

"Hey, Leila. You're almost there."

"Yeah."

Answering expressionless, Leila handed Almark her usual vial.

"This is the last time. Out of ingredients."

"Thank you."

Almark shakes the bottle he receives in front of him.

Chapo, make a sound and the liquid inside shakes.

"The viscosity of Isenbikarigusa has completely disappeared. You've improved."

"Thanks to you for drinking with impunity."

Leila said.

You can smile, but Leila doesn't smile now.

Until the magic festival, it seems that the smile was decided only in the play.

"I've studied a lot. It also served as a stepping stone for the next medicinal bath."

"That's good."

Almark smiles.

"I'm sure I'm resistant to the darkness."

"I hope so."

Leila bent her neck.

The lack of expression looks like a doll only on a neat face.

"Leila is thorough. You really don't laugh for the play."

Almark said.

"I respect you."

"Nothing."

Leila doesn't change her expression.

"I'm just doing what I think is necessary. You and Nelson have a good time. It moves beautifully and reminds me of you in the fountain cave."

"Thank you."

"After that, it wasn't enough for Wendy."

Leila said the same thing to Wallis, and Almark dropped his shoulders.

"Yeah, the scene didn't work. It's hard."

"I thought you and Wendy would do better."

"Yeah, that's what I thought."

Almark nods with a bitter smile.

"But it wasn't real."

"Yes."

Leila nods small.

"I know people well, but when it comes to me, I don't know. That means the same to you, Almark."

I make such a tough point without changing my expression.

"Oh, I guess so. I may have said a lot to people, but I don't know about me either."

When Almark admitted honestly, Leila shook her head.

"I didn't see myself either, but you taught me. So I'll show you what I can see."

Leila's beautiful eyes captured Almark.

"Why did the queen laugh?"

Huh?

Almark answered confused by the sudden question.

"What?

But Leila kept asking questions.

"Why did King Demigal stop the invasion by looking at the queen's smile?"

"That's..."

Almark continued.

"Because the queen smiled beautifully."

But Leila won't forgive me for that answer.

"Why stop the invasion with beauty?"

Almark can't answer right away and thinks.

I somehow understand how King Demigal feels.

But I can't say it well.

Give up and shake your head.

"I don't know. Surrender."

Say that and see Leila.

Tell me the answer.

"There's no answer."

Leila said Sarasa.

"I wondered why, and I read Curime's script over and over again. So I finally got it. There's no answer."

"There's no answer."

Almark became increasingly confused and looked at Leila's good face.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what that means."

"It's not rational."

Leila says.

"The queen's smile is like a mirror reflecting the mind, so everyone who sees it feels different. Seeing the queen's smile, King Demigal felt the invasion was useless, but not everyone thought so, and there's no reason for that."

"Leila"

Wallis is calling over there.

It's time to go. Get in the stage sleeve. "

"Yeah, I'm coming."

Leila answers and looks at Almark in silence.

"Almark, your eyes and face seem very eloquent, but it's also a mirror. He's the only one who knows the truth when he tries to read everything from it."

And he finally said, walking toward his sleeve.

"People have to rely on words to understand each other properly."

A banquet occasion.

Leila smiled in front of the torque and was beautiful.

Unlike the beauty of the doll just now, it has vibrant beauty, elegance, and even gloss.

The expression of torque staring at Leila as if she had been attracted by the poison was also like an act.

But Leila is right, and only King Demigal knows what King Demigal thinks about stopping the invasion.

Because King Demigal doesn't say anything about it in the play.

The person watching can only imagine the emotion.

I don't know if the imagination is correct.

Do people need to rely on words?

Almark opened the lid of the bottle that Leila gave him and drank the potion.

It is easier to drink than when I first drank it.

It's a result of Leila's efforts.

I have always shown my thoughts in action.

But maybe Leila's right.

Do we need words? [M]

Look at the empty bottle.

But I still didn't have the courage.

Someone is engaged.

I was afraid to hear such a decisive word from Wendy.

Wendy smiles as she talks to Seraha in front of Almark.

Wendy's calm smile.

Perhaps that smile will never point at me again. [M]

That said, Almark couldn't take a step.
