One day.
During the break between classes, Morgen has asked Almark this.
"Almark, do you know the story of Sir Boruk's stone statue in the garden?
"Sir Boluk?
Almark flashed his face.
"Who is Sir Boruk......? It's like I've never heard of it."
"Is that it? You learned it in class... was that last year? I wonder if it was before Almark came to college yet."
Morgen to think about. Almark shrugs, garden hey.
"I haven't seen that garden properly, but I think there were a lot of stone statues."
"Yeah, there's a lot of them. Sir Boluk's stone statue is in the implantation of that maze, see?"
"Oh......"
Almark nodded.
The vast garden, which runs from the entrance to the main entrance of the college to the school building, is maintained by a host of gardeners.
It's the garden where Almark walked with Jeed on the first day. The garden hides in the shadows of the trees, interrupting, what a long way down to the dorm.
When leaving the dorm for the city, many students use it because passing through this garden is a shortcut rather than going to the school building.
Its central part depicts a complex pattern of implantation about the back length of an adult symmetrically from left to right, while the trail that follows between them is still like a maze.
And before we got through that maze, there was certainly a whole bunch of interesting stone statues, such as scholars or magicians putting together robes.
The garden is said to be a remnant of what used to be the site of the Lords' Hall, where this neighborhood ruled the island of Norc.
Speaking of which, Almark remembered.
The name of the former lord was certain, the name Lord Boruk.
"I remember. This island is now under King Galais's direct authority, but it was the one that brought it to the king."
"Yes, Sir Boruk."
Morgen nodded adept.
"I thought you heard Almark."
"I'm sorry. Didn't show up."
Almark reflected in his heart as he apologized to Morgen. Too much knowledge to pack it in and clean it out yet in my head. I can't say I remember or understand this.
"So, what happened to that Lord Boluk?
To Almark's inquiry, Morgen suddenly lurked his voice and gave it a serious look.
"We're just talking here..."
"A lot."
Almark with a slightly twitchy face.
Morgen, no, no, shakes his head.
"You can't tear it up. I'm serious."
"Okay, okay. So?"
Sir Boluk's stone statue.
"Yeah."
"At night, you talk."
Morgen sees Almark's face just saying, "What do you say?" As for Almark, I can't really answer that.
"It is."
To that Almark reaction, Morgen looks thoughtlessly dissatisfied.
"Eh, Almark, be more surprised and scared."
"No, even if they say so..."
Almark scratches his head.
"Is this some kind of suspicious conversation?"
"You're so determined!
Nelson, Wendy and Lilty come together, saying "What's up," "What's up," because of Morgen's loud voice.
"What's wrong, Morgen? What are you talking about?
to Wendy as she asks, Morgen
"It was just fine. Everybody listen to me! Almark has no tension at all."
Answer and turn again to Almark.
"Look, just imagine. In the middle of the night, in an unpopular dark garden, I hear a blur and someone talking. Almark, you hear that voice, and you walk in the garden wondering who's talking. Hi. Your voice sounds like it's coming from behind the maze. Even a maze that is easy to get lost, that's the darkness of the night. As you struggle and get lost everywhere, you gradually get closer to your voice. And then we went through the maze and reached the Lord of Voices! and the moment you think..."
Morgen hangs up the words, makes them for a long time, then continues the words.
"There's nobody there. Only Sir Boruk's stone statues are quietly stuck..."
"Ooh."
and Nelson raises his voice, and Wendy claps with a pussy. Lilty left with her ears blocked with both hands in the middle of Morgen's story.
"It's as if I've seen it with my own eyes..."
said Almark.
Are you talking about Morgen's experience?
"What are you talking about?"
Morgen looks out of his mind.
"There's no way I have that courage. I heard it from a pair of guys."
"Oh, my God, that's what people told me."
Nelson makes a shocked voice.
"I thought you were talking about Morgen. Then you heard the statue speak."
"Why do I have to be alone in such a frightening situation?"
"Don't sound great.... but I'm curious about that story."
Nelson's eyes sparkle.
Nelson is a very attentive, undecorated boy with no back surface, but probably leaves a childish side compared to other classmates.
I can see that Morgen's mysterious story is tickling his boy's mind.
"Hey, let's all go see Lord Boruk tonight"
"I don't like it."
Morgen responded instantly. No body, no lid for the top of the line. That's a no.
"I don't know who likes to go to such a scary place."
"What, you said it out, didn't you? That's a boring one. Almark and Wendy are going, right?
"No, I'm not that interested..."
"Me too..."
Nelson dropped his shoulder disappointingly as Almark and Wendy refused to keep standing.
"Wendy had no choice... Almark, I thought you'd understand this man's romance"
"Sorry, Nelson."
Almark apologizes. Honestly, it's more of a daily exercise now than a suspicious conversation. Bad for Nelson, but I don't want to waste my meditation time.
"I get it. I can't help it. I'll go alone and reveal my voice."
"Eh, it's dangerous."
Wendy rushes to stop at Nelson's words.
"'Cause it's okay. Whatever it is, it's a garden, right? If we go a little further, there's the front gate and the guards, Mr. Zyde, are packing it. There's nothing dangerous about that."
Nelson is confident.
"I'm just going tonight. Look forward to seeing who your voice is."
When Almark looked at Wendy, Wendy also looked at Almark and gave up and shook her head with her face.
The next morning, when we met at the breakfast table, Nelson's face was earthy.
"Nelson, you look so pale. Are you okay?"
When Almark spoke, Nelson looked at Almark with his congested eyes.
"Almark...... you were right about Morgen"
"Huh?"
"I heard a voice from the back of the maze... and when I went, all I had was a stone statue of Sir Boruk. There was no one there..."
