What Wendy said was nothing but exaggeration.
When Almark took a book from the library and returned to the reading room, Wendy was already peeking through the entrance door.
"Is it over?"
When Almark whispers, Wendy nods silently.
"You're early. I'll return the book."
When Almark returned the book to the library and returned to the reading room, Eston had already returned to his original seat and resumed his studies.
Thank you, Eston.
Eston raised his face and stared at Almark as he shouted through.
"Don't get too far on the map, people of the North."
Eston said with a suppressed voice.
"I looked up at Wendy today.Tell me what you're up to without me telling you. "
You are you.
Almark answered.
Wendy is Wendy.
Eston looked painfully at the words, but he didn't say anything more, probably because his cold expression and his eyes met.
As Almark quietly left the reading room, Wendy was waiting with two rain jackets.
"Yes"
Say that and give Almark his jacket with a smile.
"Let's go back to the dorm and talk."
"Thank you."
Almark nods and weaves the jacket he receives.
"Did you hear what you needed?"
"Yeah."
Wendy stood first and left the library, looking up at the dark sky and sighing.
It's not stopping raining.
That's right.
"Always this time of winter."
As Wendy walked out, the water jumped at her feet.
"But this rain brings spring."
That's how I look back at Almark.
Spring is almost here.
I see.
Almark smiled.
Spring.
The words resonate with special emotions for the people of the North.
"Spring is coming."
Almark murmured to bite.
For Almark, who survived the northern winter alone, it was synonymous with hope.
"Yeah."
Almark lined up next to Wendy nodding.
It's a short winter in the south.
Short, I guess.
Wendy leans her neck.
"I'm sure it's different from the North."
That's right.
Almark nodded.
"South winter is sweet."
"Gentle"
Wendy watches over zero droplets from the hood.
"I don't know how that feels."
That's when Wendy lay her eyes down.
"I'm sorry, Almark."
Huh?
Now it was Almark's turn to keep an eye on him.
"Why are you apologizing?"
Eston's Attitude
Wendy said.
"Don't think all the nobles in Galai are."
Oh, is that so?
Almark smiles.
"I don't care.Outside of this academy, Eston would definitely be right. "
"But"
Wendy shakes her head. Water droplets scattered over the hood.
"This is Nork Magic Academy.There's no reason why you should tell him that. "
Thank you, Wendy.
Almark saw Wendy with gratitude.
"You knew Eston.But you were angry for me. "
After saying so, add with a quiet voice.
I'm so glad.
Wendy shook her head again without saying anything.
After a while of silence, Wendy sniffed her nose and tingled with the sound of rain.
"... the torque is..."
Eventually, Wendy said.
"I thought Eston went to Orasur to see your brother."
"Visit?"
Almark nodded.
"I'm glad I didn't get caught."
"When Eston happened to pass by near Orasur, he missed the torque."
Wendy said.
"The two adults walking between the sides of the torque would be officials of Orasur.He said, "I can't go in there alone, so I thought it was for the procedure."
"You were right."
Almark nodded.
That's right, Wendy shook her head uncomfortably.
"No, no, no."
But then I guess Fiquet's wrong.
Almark remembered what he had just heard from Fiquet and said so.
"I heard Eston talking about things like torque being miserable."
"Eston said he didn't say that."
Wendy's voice sank a little.
"I think I did.Torque is certainly not a pleasant visit. "
Wendy's words were accompanied by a torque sitting behind Almark's head and facing someone with a steep face.
"I might have been pinched by an adult I didn't know and had a dark torque on my face, and if I grabbed it maliciously, I could say it that way."
I see.
Almark nodded.
Visit with my brother in Orasur prison.
What face do you face and talk to your brother, a felon who has shaken the kingdom of Galai?
It was an unimaginable world for Almark.
Torque also lives in a harsh world.
“Gate” and “Key".
Every other student carries their own burden, just as they carry their own fate.
It shouldn't just be what you wanted to carry.
But...
So, the torque comes back to the academy.
"Yeah."
Wendy nods.
I think he's coming home.
"Well, that's fine."
Almark smiles.
"All we have to do is explain it to Deg and Garaine."
Wendy glanced at the smile.
Is that enough now?
Say that and look at Almark's face.
"I'm still a little worried.Torque may be upset about the visit. "
"Even so, the torque rises by itself.Someday you told me that. "
I stand up on my own.Ever and ever.
When did the torque lie to Almark?
Almark still looked at Wendy worried and encouraged her voice.
Besides, you told Eston.
Eh, me?
Wendy raised her eyebrows.
Ah.
Almark shouted so as not to lose to the rain pounding on the hood.
"This is Nork Magic Academy. We're the proud students."
Wendy blinked her eyes at the words.Almark went on.
"Outside the world, there are many things Eston says, but everyone in this college is a junior high school student.Wherever Torque's brother is, that has nothing to do with our fellow Torque. "
Almark smiles.
'Cause we're here to be magicians.
"... it's not me."
Wendy shook her head.
"That's what you originally told me."
Wendy narrowed her eyes to remind her of the time.
"We're going to be magicians.I'll be waiting for you at Nork Magic Academy in the winter mansion. "
Say that and look at Almark.
"I was really happy, so I couldn't forgive Eston's words. That's all."
