The next morning.

Early on, Almark started studying in the conversation room with Wendy.

To avoid bothering Wendy as much as possible, Almark wrote out what he didn't know the night before and was ready to ask questions immediately.

"Oh, that's what I mean."

Wendy smiles when she sees what it says.

"I saw a tendency for Al Mark not to understand."

"Really?"

"Yeah, it's okay. I'll fix it right away."

In the corner seat of the room, Colen and Polois rushed into the place where they were face-to-face studying.

"Oh, you were here, Almark."

As he approached him, he saw Wendy sitting with him and turned his eyes round.

"Wendy's with you. You two are close."

Ah, yeah.

Wendy looks up and answers.

"Good morning, Koren. Polois"

Good morning, both of you.

That's what Almark said and stood up.

"What's the matter, you're in such a hurry?"

"Oh, actually, I saw it. Me, too."

Koren lurked.

Oh, no way.

I don't think so.

Polois nods next to Koren.

"Yesterday, after meeting you, I witnessed a man in a black robe on the road near the school building."

"I wanted to catch you."

Koren says with regret.

"We got away. It's gone."

According to Koren and the others, the man showed up unexpectedly as he was walking along the road.

It was Polois who first noticed a man in a black robe running side-by-side next to him as he slipped.

Polois tapped Koluene on the shoulder, and Koluene jumped at the man without saying anything with wild ferocity.

But Koren's arms were cut open.

The man in the black robe took his distance from the two as if he were an illusion without substance and disappeared into the darkness.

"Just before I disappeared, I left behind."

Polois says.

"Not important, but important. I'm looking for it."

Is that another word?

Almark put his arms together.

"But you said you were looking for it."

Ah.

Koren nods.

"That's what I said."

It wasn't in yesterday's second-year information.

"I mean, the less important thing is that we can look for it."

Polois said.

"I think there's something like that."

That's what I'm talking about, and I look restless.

"I can't think of anything."

"That's right. I'll think about it a little more."

Almark answers that and then confirms it with the two of us.

I knew it was too late to leave.

Ah.

Koluen nods.

"Yesterday was much earlier than the time I saw it two years ago."

"Since the sun went down,"

After returning it, Almark wonders a lot.

"But didn't Killiebs say what they saw after class?"

Oh, that one.

Koluen loosened her mouth.

"Don't be silly. After listening carefully, it seems it was rather late to go home after class, after spending some time in the library."

"It's about the same time we had yesterday."

Polois supplements it.

"Well, that's not why."

"That bastard. She just bragged about herself and told me what was important."

Koren snorts.

Well then, four days ago would be suspicious.

Almark says Polois shakes his head.

"No, you were so stubborn. Four days ago, definitely. So if I count from today, it was six days ago."

I don't know, I don't know.

Koren laughed.

"I also asked other junior students who had witnessed it."

Polois says.

Apparently, Koren and Polois have been moving around a lot on this matter.

"Everyone's seen it in the last few days. Maybe Killiebs are the first to discover it."

"That's when the rumors started coming out."

Almark nodded.

"You were right to ask Kiribati."

"Some of us said we saw it on the evening before sundown."

Koluen says.

"I don't think time matters. No, it's still too early to say that."

"Yeah."

Almark nodded.

"None of the possibilities are gone yet. I'll think about it a little more."

"Oh, please."

Polois nodded and then glanced at Koren.

So, that's it.

Colen stepped forward to respond to Polois.

"I'm thinking of going to the school building again this evening at the same time. Almark, let's go, too."

I won't punish you.

Almark smiles bitterly.

"Yesterday, today."

Next time, I'll catch you.

Koluen's eyes were like a beast for a moment.

"Stay with me, Almark."

"Tonight."

Almark thought.

It's an important holiday before the exam. I have little time to study.

Normally, it's not like you're trying to stick your neck in something like this.

At the same time, however, Almark remembered that Illmis had told him to look into the matter.

Actually, it won't take much time just to get to the school building.

Besides, if the teacher asks me to look into it, it must mean something to me.

"Yeah, I got it. Let's go."

Oh.

Koluen laughs hard.

"It has to be."

"All right, then. After dinner."

Polois looked behind Almark and stopped moving.

Koren also looked behind Almark with a neat face.

As Almark looked back at the strange atmosphere, Wendy's hands were straight up.

"Uh, Wendy."

Call Polois confused.

"What's your hand like?"

"You've got it."

Wendy replied.

"I'm coming, too."

Wendy turned back to the table with a serious face after Colen and Polois made a promise after dinner.

"Say, Almark. Let's study."

That said, point again to what Almark was explaining until Koren and the others arrived.

"If you're going to the school building at night, let's do it more and more during the day."

"Yeah."

Almark nods and sits back in the chair.

"Sorry, Wendy. It's like we're dating somehow."

"Yeah."

Wendy shakes her head.

"I've decided to follow you. It's okay."

"Maybe it has nothing to do with darkness, and I don't think it's that dangerous."

"Then that's it."

Wendy said.

"I'm just worried that Almark is in danger somewhere I don't know."

"Yeah."

Almark nodded.

Sure, I can't help worrying if Wendy's in danger somewhere I don't know.

In the meantime, take a look around tonight, and if nothing happens, Wendy will convince you.

Almark thought so and concentrated on the study in front of him.
