As they left the infirmary together, they just met Celia, who came to see how they were doing.
Oh, you're awake.
"Yes"
Wendy lowers her head.
"Doctor, I'm sorry to trouble you."
"It's okay. I'm glad."
That's how Celia looks at Wendy.
"The redness has returned a little. Are you in a play?
"Yes"
Wendy replies cheerfully.
"Yes."
Celia nodded and took out two vials of medicated water and handed them to Wendy and Almark one by one.
"You're going to use magic in your play. Drink this."
For a moment, Almark wondered if it was the same thing he had been drunk in martial arts competitions, but apparently not.
A clear blue liquid is shaking in the bottle.
Celia looked at the food they were holding in both hands and smiled.
"You eat a lot."
"Eh, ah, this is..."
Wendy makes her face red.
"Morgan brought it."
Almark answers instead.
"Yes, it's good to eat well. Food is the basis of life. Morgan knows that."
Celia nods with a smile.
Would you like one too?
When Almark offered the skewers, Celia looked at them.
"Are you sure? Let's get this."
They lowered their heads to Celia, who received a skewer of vegetables filled with meat, and they left the school building.
When I washed my face and dressed myself in the water field behind the school building, I pinched the food from Morgen's stall and ate.
Wendy still doesn't seem so appetized, drinking about half of the chilled bean soup and watching Almark eat a vial of medicinal water shaking in his hand.
When Almark eats as fast as ever, he wraps the rest back in the wrapper.
Well then, let's drink.
"Yeah."
Both of us open the lid of the bottle at the same time and take a breath of medicinal water.
The medicinal water tasted like water in a deep place in the ocean.
When Almark saw Wendy, Wendy nodded with an unexpected look.
This is an unexpected drink.
"Good."
Almark nodded.
"I didn't think it was medicinal water. It's just like water."
"I can't even say water. But it was easier to drink than any medicinal water I've ever had."
Wendy looks strangely at the empty vial.
"Of course it's not delicious."
I can't help it.
The two go to the auditorium at their feet.
It's already noon.
The first and second graders in the morning may be finished.
As she walked, Wendy looked back at Almark.
Thank you, Almark.
Huh?
"You've been around since yesterday, haven't you? I was asleep, but somehow I felt that Almark would be there."
"Yeah, I was worried."
Almark nodded.
"So I was told to go home, but I stayed by your side."
"I felt kind of relieved. I'm not alone."
Wendy said that and smiled, then asked a little strangely.
"But were you so worried? Did Dr. Celia tell you that I'm okay now?
Almark wonders what to say.
"Yeah, I wasn't worried about you. Oh, no, of course I was worried about your condition."
Almark waved in a hurry.
"When you woke up, I was most worried that I might miss you if nobody was around."
Wendy looked surprised and then looked happy, spicy and complex.
"Thank you."
The auditorium is just beside the school building. As soon as they were talking about it, they reached the large door at the entrance to the auditorium.
Speaking of which...
Almark saw Wendy with a fresh face.
Wendy stopped her feet when she woke up.
"We're not done yet."
Almark swallowed the word "not talking".
Because the big door was opened from the inside, and the audience was overflowing.
The morning part is over.
"Oh, my God."
Wendy puts her hand on her mouth.
"We have to get to everybody."
That's how you get inside against the flow of people at the edge of the aisle.
After all, I felt dizzy without telling.
I can't help it.
Almark followed suit.
"Almark, Wendy! You're here!
Nelson was the first to find them.
It seems that the whole class was gathered behind the scenes to confirm the performance of the script with one hand.
"Are you okay?"
Everyone turns to Nelson's voice.
"I'm sorry I worried."
Almark said, followed by Wendy lowering her head.
"Guys, I'm sorry. We can both be in the play."
"Okay."
Wallis, who was in the center of everyone, made a sound and closed the script.
"Guys, forget what I said earlier. The production will continue according to the original practice."
Wow, the cheers went up.
Torque whispered his tongue and threw the script away, but the others rushed towards them with a smile.
"Wendy, are you sure you're okay?
Norish and Lilty are worried, and Wendy nods sorry.
"Yeah, guys, I'm really sorry."
"Almark, you look like you haven't slept much."
Rado glared at Almark's complexion.
"Why don't you rest a little longer until the show?"
"No."
Almark shakes his head.
"Thank you, Raido. But it's okay. It's okay. I'll do it right."
"So you're sure they're both coming out?"
Nelson pushes for caution.
Ah.
As Almark nodded, Nelson smiled happily.
"Alright, I guess we all have to get together. 'Cause we all decided to play our class."
With that smile, Almark stopped thinking about extra things.
I thought about everything else yesterday night.
Now, let's focus on the play before us.
Looking at Wendy, it seems that Wendy thought the same thing.
He looked into Almark's eyes and nodded with a smile.
