That day, by the time we got to the dorm, it was already close to midnight.
Looks like Reido was talking to me well in advance, and fortunately it wasn't making any noise in the dorm.
"Almark, I'm sorry. You don't have any more dinner left."
"Fine."
Almark shook his head and broke up with Reido.
For times like this, I have a stock of baked confectionery.
Back in the room, Almark takes off his robe and thinks as he throws baked sweets into his mouth.
The trial of the fountain cave was quite difficult, even at the first level, that it could be managed with the magic of the elementary part.
Perhaps Leila is going further down.
It's about her, who was twitching that she was already learning the magic of her second year in the middle. No wonder it's down to the third level or so.
Not very much, but you shouldn't get to me like that. It will be more footy than it is today.
But like the trap on the last door, there should definitely also be a situation where if you fail, you won't be able to help yourself.
We need to make Layla stop going to the cave by herself.
If you won't stop going, you should at least go with someone. Let's tell him so.
This is something I can say because I actually went into a cave.
Even in that sense, you're thankful to Reido.
At that time, the door to the room was knocked modestly.
"Yes."
Reply and Almark gets up.
I wonder who. Morgen, I guess. Or Wendy.
No, I'm sure this knock feels like it.
When I opened the door, Lilty stood, as Almark expected.
"Hey, Lilty."
"Because I heard it was a long time ago today"
With that said, Lilty makes Almark hold the baked confectionery he had.
"Thanks for everything. You've been up all this time waiting for me."
To Almark's words, Lilty nods small.
I usually go home embarrassed as it is, but today Lilty stands like she said something.
"What's wrong?
When Almark asked, Lilty shook her head, yeah, and then still said just one word as she rethought.
"You're looking forward to the concert."
"Oh, yeah."
Almark nodded.
"Right. Looking forward to it."
Listening to the words, Lilty smiled a haunting smile.
Then I'm going home with my hands.
That's right. It's a concert.
Almark goes back to his room and thinks again.
I need to convince Leila to go to the concert.
Now that I've been in a cave, my words must be convincing.
Let's do our best.
From the next day onwards, Almark watched Leila in the classroom every day, but he didn't see a rush to leave the classroom after school.
Instead, I asked Wendy, and she never seemed to come back to the dorm late at night.
"Leila's always studying and self-training till dark, but I don't think it's gonna be that late."
That's what Wendy says, she nods herself.
"But I have to try my best to apprentice Leila, too"
"Even Wendy's always trying."
When Almark says, Wendy shakes her head as illuminated.
'Cause I'm gonna get away with something fun soon.'
"I don't think it's a bad idea to have fun."
To Almark's answer, Wendy asks with a bitter laugh.
"Almark, you enjoy studying, don't you?
"Yeah, it's fun. Studying and training are all so much fun to learn at this college"
"See. That's the place."
Wendy laughs.
"You're not like me."
"Is Wendy not having fun studying?
"Of course it can be fun, but some things are not good or interesting"
"Really?"
Looking at Almark with a face he doesn't quite understand, Wendy laughs, hehe, fun.
"I'm sure Almark enjoys doing it. But I don't know about Layla."
A little shadow falls on Wendy's expression.
"Sometimes, Leila looks so bitter"
"Right."
Almark nodded.
"It looks like it to me too."
"... if anything happens to Leila, help her, Almark"
Wendy told me to whine.
"Something we can't tell you, because maybe you can"
"Okay."
When Almark nodded, Wendy also smiled and nodded small.
It was late at night by the time we got back to the dorm, even though Leido and I had just tried the first level.
It is not possible in time for Leila, who must be going further down, to go to the Fountain Cave on weekdays.
That's what Almark stared at.
And the holidays are here.
Almark wandered in front of the dorm in the morning.
Before breakfast, I saw Layla washing her hair in the well as usual.
Then, Layla hasn't come out of the dorm yet.
If you're leaving, it should be in the early morning when there aren't too many people.
I'm sure Layla will be here soon.
Almark waited still near the road leading to the woods.
Through the dorm entrance, a female student comes out.
"That, Almark"
It was Wendy.
"What are you doing here? Meet someone?
"Hey, Wendy."
Almark scratched his head in trouble.
"Yeah, a little. It's not like I'm meeting you."
"It is."
Wendy smiles after looking a little strange.
"Looking forward to today's concert. Do you want to come with me at night?
I really want to go.
But I can't say anything about Leila not coming.
"Sorry, daytime errands, I just don't know when it's gonna be over"
"It is."
Wendy unfortunately frowns.
That's when Almark's eyes saw Leila coming out early from the dorm behind Wendy.
"Ah."
"Huh?"
Wendy snaps her neck.
"What's going on?
"Yes, no"
Almark shakes his head.
Leila doesn't walk towards Almark and the others.
Instead of the road leading to the woods, walk straight to the back of the dorm.
Aren't you going to the fountain cave?
Almark wonders.
"Does Almark know where the concert hall is?
Wendy asks.
"Oh. Uh, I don't know."
That's what I answer. In the corner of Almark's vision, Leila disappears behind the dorm.
"Then I'll tell you. Going through the main entrance..."
Almark listened in a cold sweat as Wendy carefully taught him directions from school to the concert hall.
"Thanks, Wendy"
Almark thanked him, raising his right hand.
"See you at the concert at night,"
"Eh. Oh, yeah"
"'Cause I'll be there."
Waving again at Wendy, who drops him off with a surprised look, Almark ran and turned to the back of the dorm.
Just saw Layla go into the shadow of the implant.
I wonder what's in that place.
With suspicion, Almark followed Leila and peered into the shadow of the implant.
There's no sign of Leila.
Is that it?
Almark doubts his own eyes for a moment.
The shadow of the implant was at an end.
Even though there's nowhere to go.
Almark looks around for a moment, but he still doesn't look like Layla.
When he glanced at his feet, he noticed a familiar blue print on the stone placed unwrought on the ground.
I saw this in the woods.
Almark thinks.
I saw it on the way to the Fountain Cave with Reido, the same stone that was behind the woods.
Why, there's the same print as the stone that was there.
When he thought of it that way, Almark understood Leila's intentions.
This is the magical mark of movement.
Magic that moves instantly from one place to the corresponding other.
To be used, stones with the same pattern must be installed in their respective locations.
Although I knew it by knowledge, it is of course magic that cannot be used by Almark.
Almark is not the only one. The other classmates won't be able to use it either.
This is not elementary magic. It's supposed to be the magic you learn in the middle or high places.
Behind the dormitories and beside the roads in the woods elementary restricted area.
From the place where the stone was placed, I'm pretty sure it already is.
This is the print Leila drew to go to the fountain cave.
With the magic of travel, your return will never be late at night.
Still, I can't believe I could even use such advanced magic.
While wrapping her tongue around Leila's magical prowess, Almark tried to touch the stone crest.
Of course there's no response.
It only responds to the artist who drew it.
By now, I guess Leila's already in the woods path.
Oh, my God.
Almark wanted to hold his head.
I was going to catch him first thing in the morning, but suddenly I let him get away with it.
Almark, who almost gave up for a moment, but remembered that the place where the forest stone was was still quite a distance to Lulu's Fountain.
Leila also thought that if a stone were installed right near the cave, she would be scattered by middle school students.
If it's a girl's leg, it's still a long way from there to the fountain.
Then you might make it if you run as hard as you can.
The hesitation was momentary.
Almark made up his mind.
Catch Leila before she enters the cave.
Almark flipped himself.
Running back to the room and grabbing Mars's wand, he jumps out of the dorm.
If you're serious, you'll make it.
Almark ran out into the woods with fierce momentum.
