Clearing up the sword and protective equipment, Almark and Torque were walking silently on their way home, which was completely late.

For once, Almark talked to him, but he didn't even reply because Torque just rang his nose, so we were both silent ever since.

If it's true, Wendy and I could have gone home today, and Almark thinks about it unconsciously.

Where did I go wrong? Why is it torque to be next door?

Torque suddenly pounded his tongue as he reached a few more points to the dorm with no conversation whatsoever.

"Nasty ones nasty"

"Huh?"

On the two goings, illuminated by the lights in the dorm, I saw the two boys standing.

"Who? That's a face I've never seen."

"You don't know. Three sets of guys."

Torque answers.

"Uh, three pairs."

Looks like you heard Almark, and you two look back.

"Hey, isn't that torque?"

One of them looked at the torque and said so.

"What are you practicing so late? No way. The martial arts tournament?

"It's none of your business, Eston."

Torque answers blurring.

"What are you guys doing here"

A boy called Eston laughs. He has a body that does not take a crack alongside the large torque.

"We were just standing here talking. Hey, Polois."

"Oh."

Another boy nods. This one, too, big.

Right, these guys. Almark thinks.

"The dorm was eventually loud. I can't calm down, so I'll talk to you here."

"I see."

Eston calls off the torque trying to pass by while saying so.

"I heard. The two groups say Wallis can't make it to the martial arts tournament? Poor thing."

I pound my tongue troublesome and the torque stops.

"What's that?"

"'Cause the dizzy boys in your class are about Wallis and you, right? If Wallis doesn't answer, you're the only man in the aristocracy. It won't be a battle. Unfortunately."

Eston looked at the torque unfortunately.

"It's hard when you go to civilian classes. struggle you don't have to."

"Big favor."

Torque answers.

"I'd like to relieve you a little, but I also have eyes in the VIP table. I'm sorry..."

Eston grins with a grin.

"I'll do everything I can to make you win. Don't cry because you lost everything."

To the words, Polois blows out.

"Speaking of which, you had a woman in your current Torque class who cried a lot. What a name that was."

Polois, don't ask me.

Eston responds with a laugh.

"You can't remember a civilian's name."

I don't know what you're talking about.

Torque said by interrupting the exchange between the two.

"You don't have to be modest. Wallis doesn't answer, but this guy does. Maybe stronger than Wallis."

That said, show the neighbor Almark with his jaw.

Eston and Polois took a glimpse of him as they first noticed Almark's presence there.

"Oh. Wasn't it the usual thing with you that was next door?"

Eston says, Polois laughs.

"You're the third or fourth associate. I'm in the civilian class, so it's essential to my companion."

"It's Almark."

Almark pinched his mouth.

"My name is Almark. I've moved in this spring, so I don't think I know. I'll be at the next tournament. Greetings."

"Torque"

Eston speaks to Torque as if he hadn't heard that Almark.

"If you're a nobleman too, you should think about who you're going out with. There will be more civilians to accompany you."

Ha, and Torque laughed.

"This guy's not following me. Even today, I signed him up for practice."

Eston and Polois frown face-to-face.

"Torque......"

Eston says sorry.

"You've changed. That may be good inside the college, but the outside world is tough. You can't do that."

"Extra help."

Torque shakes his head.

"I don't have the muscle to worry about you guys. You guys know the world out there."

"Well, so is that. Surely your house... oops"

Eston's words showed an atmosphere where torque was instantly murderous, so Eston held his mouth back with a modus operandi.

"Excuse me. Was this a story I shouldn't have told in front of myself"

Torque pounded his tongue and spit.

"It's not even worth dealing with. Let's go, Almark."

"I was in the same class as you guys in a year..."

Almark doesn't mind torque, he speaks to both of them.

"Do you remember a girl named Norish?

The two face each other again. I don't try to see Almark's face. That kind of place seems thorough.

"Come on. You don't know the name alone."

Eston, on behalf of the two of them, replied softly.

"Yes, thank you."

The two of you don't react in any way to Almark's words.

"Almark."

Torque raises an irritating voice.

"Oh, sorry Torque. Let's go."

Alongside the torque, Almark passed beside the two of them.

"I'm looking forward to the martial arts competition. Torque."

To Eston's voice, Torque looks back and yells back, "Uh-huh." There mixed the laughter of Polois.

After a short walk, the torque hits his tongue.

"You waited on purpose. They're unpleasant whenever I see them."

Interesting people.

said Almark.

"Ah?"

Torque looks at Almark's face.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Yeah, kind of."

Almark teases.

As he watched Eston and Polois, Almark was remembering his father's words naturally one day.

Nor are the nobles of mercenary employers all wise men.

Some of them say a lot of unscrupulous things, and some of them don't even think of mercenaries as human beings in the first place.

When I went to negotiate with such a nobleman, from time to time, my father came home laughing.

At one point, when Almark asked why, my father answered this with a gruesome grin that he occasionally showed.

"Almark, I'm going to be looking forward to this, but hey. You don't even look at my face, you see those people treating people like wild dogs with no names, and the next time you see them, you're gonna have to smile and call my name in horror."

My father strokes Almark's head and adds as he walks out into the captain's tent.

"Come on, fight your life for it and for it today. Um..."

Almark had some fear and reliability of his father's back.

"Nelson said it, but I'm on fire, too. Anyway, if you're gonna fight, you better be the ones who don't care."

I see Almark laugh invincibly, and so does Torque.

If I'm really angry with these people, I can't be noble.

I look right back.

"I feel sorry for them. I'll see you smile like that."

"Let's win. Torque."

Almark looks at the torque and makes a clench.

"Come on. My opponent's a pair in the first place."

Torque smiles bitterly.

The two figures disappear side by side into the dorm.
