Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand

When the cooking is clear and the stomach swells, everyone starts to sit and talk to their thoughts, and a circle of conversation is created around the conversation room.

Morgan and the buyer were the first to hear Curime's thoughts.

Almark stood up when Lilty came to Wendy and they started talking.

I went out with Wendy and ate more than usual.

Let's go around everybody's place hungry.

As he stretched out, Almark first approached the three-person table he was always with.

"Good work, everyone."

"Almark. Unusual."

Deg raised his hand.

"It's a good day to fight Nelson. It's completely different from practice."

That's what makes me laugh and stand up.

"Here, here, here."

As he said, he began to reproduce the movements of Almark and Nelson.

"So, here's where Almark switches his sword to both hands."

Deg stood up and played Nelson, chopping him with an invisible sword.

Garaine traces Nelson's movements with discipline.

"So, blow up Nelson and tell him I'm strong by myself."

Deg said a wobbly dialog in the royal family, and Garaine nodded that he was going to imitate Nelson.

Almark realized that it was quite embarrassing to be shown to imitate himself.

"That's fine, Deg. Thank you."

I sat the two of them down and lowered their hips.

"Good luck with the torque. It was cool."

Hmm.

Torque laughs with his nose.

"Nothing. I just did what I practiced."

I guess so.

Almark twisted his neck.

Sure, I think there were some improvisations.

"But your king, Demigal, seems to have a very good reputation. When I was lined up in the stall, many other customers were talking about you."

I'm not interested.

Torque shakes the neck.

"It's over."

Torque doesn't seem to want to be touched much on the play anymore.

Still, Almark remembers one thing.

"Speaking of which, in my first scene, you put out an extra shadow demon."

I don't know.

The torque turns sideways.

"I thought you counted wrong."

Well, that's what I'll do.

Almark nodded and saw Garaine.

"Galaine, I think you were impressed by the fact that you didn't have much dialogue."

"I'm just telling the torque, King, to give the order."

Garaine laughs at that.

"Deg took on all the difficult dialogues."

"I'm not that hard either, that much."

Deg laughs too.

"The torque starts with a dialogue, and I get almost the answer. If I don't get the wrong torque, I won't get the wrong torque."

I see.

Almark nods and looks at the torque, but the torque is drinking milk with a strange face.

"We'll go to Curime's later."

Deg said.

"I'm not going to the torque."

Looks like torque.

According to Almark, the torque shrugged his shoulders.

"Ask Curime what he thinks. It's not gonna do anything."

I see. I'd like to ask. "

Almark answered and waved his hand to Deg and Garaine to leave the three seats.

There was an empty table just next to Selaha, so I sat there slipping.

"Good day, Seraha."

Seraha's face suddenly turned bright.

"You're here."

"Yeah, that's why I wanted to go around."

"Fine, stay here forever."

Say so and place your plate in front of Almark.

"Did you eat this? It was delicious."

"Oh, yeah. Thank you. I'm full."

Almark waved with a smile.

Really?

The laughing Serrah seems to have returned to the bright girl before the play.

"The witch Theraha is out of the shop."

"Yeah."

Seraha nods.

"I've done it. I'm the daughter of a merchant, and I'm back in Therah, the magician's egg."

Smile and then look at Almark's face.

"So is Almark, right?

Ah.

Almark also nodded.

"The cursed swordsman left safely for me, too. Now it's Almark, the magician's egg from the north."

"Welcome back."

Serrah laughed and said, and looked at each other and laughed.

After a few moments of unforgiving talk, Serrah asked him to peek into Almark's eyes.

"But don't you feel Almark?

Huh?

"I still feel like there's something in my body that looks like a shard of witch Serrah."

Ah.

Almark nodded.

"I know."

It was the same with Almark.

With the end of the play, the cursed swordsman Almark finished his role, but not completely disappeared from himself.

I had such a feeling.

"Witches and swordsmen really live among us."

Almark said.

"Don't forget."

"Yeah."

Serrah nodded with a mysterious face.

Leila, who was supposed to be surrounded by various people, was sitting alone by the window sometime.

Speaking of which, Leila didn't come to the festival at the Fish Pavilion after the martial arts tournament.

With that in mind, Almark approaches Leila.

"Good work, Leila."

Oh.

Leila narrows her eyes and smiles slightly.

"Can you come to me?"

"What do you mean?"

"It means as it is."

Leila shrugged her shoulders.

"Well, that's fine. Sit down."

Leila sits Almark in a chair in front of her and puts her elbows on the table and her chin on the fingers of both hands.

"I wanted to ask you something, too."

With the sound of the words, Almark somehow understood what Leila wanted to hear.

"Yesterday, I guess."

"Yeah."

Leila looked at Almark with her attitude intact.

"Tell me. What happened yesterday?"

Ah.

Almark nodded.

But how far can I go?

Wendy is a "gate".

Mars' wand is a "key."

Almark didn't know how much to tell Leila at this stage, including the meaning of his name.

"I was attacked by a dark magician when I was with Wendy."

After all, Leila raised her eyebrows slightly to Almark's words, which conveyed only the most basic facts.

"Dark sorcerer. It's an example."

"Yeah."

Almark nodded and looked at his right hand.

Yesterday, I broke into chaos because I hit Mars' wand, and Wendy treated me.

I'm sure there's still a black snake wrapped around it.

"Yes, he cursed me with a snake."

I knocked him down.

"No, I got away."

After answering that, Almark corrects.

"Maybe it's better if you missed it."

Hmm, and Leila hit her gavel and took off her fingers and put her body on her back.

My long black hair shakes and falls on my cheeks.

"Yes."

That's what I saw with Al Mark.

"It's hard to talk about the details here, so let me hear it later."

"Yeah."

Almark nodded and then looked seriously at Leila again.

What?

When she noticed the gaze, Leila shouted surprisingly.

"You look funny."

"No, I thought Leila was really beautiful in the play."

Almark said that Leila smiled bitterly for a moment.

"I don't know what to say."

"It's true."

Almark said.

"The whole venue seemed to you."

"Torque was crying."

Almark echoed Leila's words.

"Oh, why were you crying?"

"Come on."

Leila shakes her head.

"I told you. The queen's smile is a mirror. The torque that played King Demigal is the only torque I know."

"But you weren't surprised when you saw the crying torque."

"I was surprised."

Leila shrugged her shoulders.

"But it's in the middle of a play. You can't put that on your face."

"Well, that's true."

Even if you know it, there are not many people who can do it.

That's right.

"Besides"

Leila added as she remembered.

"I didn't feel bad about that tear."

"Feeling bad?

When Almark was unable to achieve Leila's intentions.

"Hey, that's right."

Suddenly, Wallis' voice came from the side, and Almark and Leila stopped the conversation and looked at you.

Wallis looked out the window and frowned.

"It's too late for Nelson and Norish to come back. That's funny."

As the words put it, it was already dark outside the window.
