Outside the dorm, cold winter rain overwhelmed the two of them.
After wearing a rain jacket, Almark and Wendy walked side-by-side.
"Amazing rain."
Wendy mutters.
"How dare Eston go all the way to the library in this rain?"
"Yeah, I think I should study in my room, too."
Almark nodded.
"If it rains, the library will be empty, so maybe they're aiming for it."
Ah, maybe so.
Wendy's expression couldn't be seen hiding in the hood, but his voice was bright.
"Dormitories are full of people on rainy days. The library looks quiet."
"Maybe you can focus on your studies."
"Yeah."
"I don't mind disturbing you there."
Almark said.
"For torque, for Deg and Garaine to worry about torque. I can't help it."
"Those three are really close."
Wendy jumps over a small puddle.
"Always together."
"Yeah."
Almark nodded.
"Each of them talked to me in the tutorial.About respectful torque. "
Hearing that, Wendy laughed.
"You're worried about the torque, Almark."
Huh?
"After all, I went all the way through this rain."
"Don't worry, I don't know."
Almark twisted his neck with a serious face.
"Torque would make me angry if I worried about you.I'm just doing it for the Degs. "
"That's enough."
Wendy shakes her head with a smile.
"Boys are funny."
I guess so.
While tilting his neck, Almark jumps over a large puddle in front of him and looks back and stretches his arm.
Wendy grabbed the arm and jumped with all her heart.
Yes.
Pulled by Almark, Wendy landed safely beyond the puddle.
"Come on, we gotta get to the library."
Wendy pulled Almark's arm.
By the time I got to the library, water was dripping from the rain jacket.
The two entered the library when they dragged the water out of their jacket and caught it sticking out of the entrance wall.
The reading room was quiet.
Tamin, a librarian sitting at the reception, glimpses at the two of them.
There were only a few students in the reading room.
I knew at first glance that Eston was in it with a big body.
Almark stood beside Eston studying with his serious face stacked up and quietly shouted.
"Eston"
Eston didn't reply.
You should hear it, but keep studying as if you didn't hear it.
"Eston"
Almark called out again.
"I need to ask you something."
Do you know what a library is, people of the North?
Eston said without raising his face.
"This is no place to talk."
"I know."
Almark answers.
"But I really need to ask you something.I don't have much time. "
"Decline"
Eston said in vain.
"I'm in the way of studying. Be quiet."
"Don't say that."
Wendy came out of behind Almark.
"Please, Eston, I know you're interrupting my studies."
Eston raised his face and saw Wendy's face.
"Wendy"
Eston opens his eyes.
Why are you doing this?
"We're here to ask."
Wendy said.
Tell me about yourself.
A drop of rain fell on the desk from the forehair.
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Yes, no.
Eston shook his head like he was fascinated.
"I'll answer your questions."
Eston said.
"If you don't mind, I'll answer. I can't refuse."
Eston slaps himself in the chest.
"Listen to me, Wendy."
"You there."
I heard a cold voice from the receptionist's tamine.
Tamine's finger pointed straight at Eston.
"It's a little loud. Be quiet."
As they left the reading room and watched the rain continue under the library, Almark and Wendy confronted Eston.
"So?"
Eston looked at Almark with a cool attitude that was clearly different from that of Wendy earlier.
"What do you want to hear, people of the North?"
Torque.
Almark answered.
"I want you to tell me more about the torque you saw during your vacation."
"Torque?"
Eston smiled after a moment of suspicion.
"You saw him in Orasur?"
"Yes, that's it."
Almark nodded.
Can you tell me more about that?
"I can't do that."
Eston shook his head.
"Torque is also a handkerchief of the proud Garai aristocracy.I can't talk to you, an outsider, about his dignity. "
Eston distorted his mouth by saying so.
"For him and the little honor left in his house."
"Then tell me, Eston."
Wendy said that from next to Almark.
"If I were you, I wouldn't be an outsider, would I?"
"Wendy"
Eston shouted in trouble.
"I know that's kind of you, but I'm not really impressed."
"What do you mean?"
Wendy blinks.
"I'm not impressed."
"It's about getting along with people like him."
Eston answered and glanced at Almark.
"As a Rudish, I live a modest life at this school.I will not have sex with the inferior more than necessary.You need to think carefully about your position as a daughter of the honorable Bar Herb family. "
Say that and turn your eyes to Wendy.
"I'm going to make a funny misunderstanding that I can go out with reciprocity.The more people down there, the more quickly they forget. Not to mention him. "
Eston saw Almark again.
"It is a ferocious people of the North who do not understand the common sense of the South.I don't know what to do.You should be a little more cautious. "
"Eston"
Wendy smiled at Eston.
"Thank you for worrying."
"No."
Eston shakes his head.
"As the same Garai aristocrat, I'm the only one who can properly tell someone as famous as you.Just take it for granted. "
Yes, thank you.
Wendy nodded gently and said, "But..."
"I also think you should think carefully about your position."
Huh?
Eston watches.
"Me?"
"Yeah."
Wendy nods.
"How long have you been saying that as a proud student at Nork Magic Academy?Are you really going to be a magician?I'd advise you to think about it carefully.Because if you want to socialize with ordinary nobles, you don't have to be in this academy.Then you can go home. "
A pungent Wendy tone.
Eston's expression was strong in unexpected spicy words.
"Eston"
Wendy looked straight at Eston.
"Still, I respect your opinion today.We're worried about torque.If you want to talk, tell me. "
The eyes were as sharp as Wendy's usual.
"If you're not going to talk, we're going home now.I'm sorry to interrupt your study. "
Probably the first time he saw Wendy's harsh expression, Eston, who had been expelled from the poison, rushed to stop Wendy as he tried to turn around.
"Wendy, wait."
Turning to Wendy with a steep face, Eston begged him.
"Okay, okay, don't look at me like that."
Say that and shake your head to calm Wendy down.
Torque, right? Of course I'll talk to you.But I can't talk to him from my mouth.You know that, right? "
Wendy frowned at the words and cared about Almark.
Almark nodded.
"Oh, I don't mind if Wendy talks to me."
That said, Almark put his hand on the reading room door.
"I'm waiting for you to read a book.Call me when you're done talking. "
"Okay."
Wendy answers with a flat voice.
"I don't think it'll take that long.I'm sorry to interrupt Eston's study. "
"Wendy"
Eston looks reluctant.
"I didn't tell you."
"Yes, please."
Almark waved at Wendy and opened the door.
