Through the woods, Almark ran.

It's such a fierce run that the bouncing dirt rises far above it.

The view flows like a flying.

Along the way, he comes across a torque walking in front of him who seems to have been training or something in the morning.

"What's up?"

Torque shouts in surprise at Almark's too much momentum.

"Have you got another demon?"

"He's not out."

Almark shouted back so much that he was different from Torque.

I felt that Torque had said something, but by then the Torque was already quite rearward, and the words did not reach Almark's ear.

Almark increased his speed even further as it was.

Pass the placard prohibiting entrance to the elementary area and pass Mora's primitive and Goog's water fields.

By the time I passed by the side of the blue tattooed stone, my breath had just begun to run out, but I still ran without slowing down.

Eventually, the forest opened.

Beyond Lulu's Fountain, in a cave with a pompous hole, just as one female student was about to enter.

Look, I made it.

Almark screamed as he ran.

"Layla!"

In the quiet woods, Almark's screams sounded amazingly well on his own.

I looked back like Layla had been played.

Leila with a surprised look moves her mouth.

I didn't hear a voice, but it seemed like I said, "Why are you here?"

Almark ran along the fountain.

"Wait a minute, Leila"

With that screaming, we circle the fountain and reach Leila.

"Good. I chased him."

"... why are you here"

Leila looked at Almark with an eye for something incredible.

You were talking to Wendy in front of the dorm earlier.

"I've been running"

He said he's been running.

Leila shakes her head.

"How far do you think there is from the dorm?"

"Yeah. So I'm a little tired"

Almark took a big breath with his hands on his hips.

"It's been a long time since I've run such a long distance at all costs. My body's been dull since I came to college."

"As always, you do incredible things"

Leila says that like a shudder, and then she looks at Almark with her usual cold face.

"So, what are you doing chasing me to this place?

"I'm here to stop you"

Almark brutally wiped the sweat off his forehead and replied so.

Leila's expression gets steep for a moment.

"The Fountain Cave is where elementary students shouldn't go in. You're trying to get in there all by yourself."

"Something extra."

Leila told me to throw up.

"Who asked you to do that?"

"It's nobody. I came of my own accord."

said Almark.

"Layla, don't do anything dangerous."

"I'm going"

Leila said.

"If you want to, you can report it to your teacher or whatever you want. But you can't stop me."

"No."

Almark shook his head.

"Doctor or something, it's not like that."

Leila looks surprised for a moment at Almark's strong tone.

"I didn't come here to stop you because this is where the elementary school is off-limits. And now I'm on the first level here."

To that word, Leila raises her eyebrows.

"Did you come in, too?

"Oh. Reido and I will. We managed to get to the end of the first tier. Still, it was tough. You're going further down, aren't you?

"Yes, you're in too."

Leila tells him to squeal.

"I went all the way to the third tier. Today, I intend to go to the end of the third tier"

"Wow."

Almark accidentally leaks his honest thoughts.

Leido and I reached the third level alone in this troubled cave of trials.

"Leila, you're strong"

said Almark.

That's what I thought during the martial arts tournament.

Leila is strong.

Too strong.

Too strong, but therefore unaware of the need for companionship.

I try to move on by myself.

"But it's dangerous to dive deep in this cave by yourself. I actually came in, so I figured that out."

Almark continues looking at Leila's face.

Leila had already returned to her usual cold, faceless expression.

"Even intermediate students, a few of them will come in together. Going in alone is impotent, no matter how much. If we're going in, we should at least go in with our people. Just like me and Reido did."

Leila doesn't even react to Almark's words. Almark continued nonetheless.

"I can't overlook you as you are trying to get in alone. I'm here today to stop it."

Leila laughed with her nose at the words.

"I know a hundred dangers. I'm trying to understand that."

"Why are you being so impotent?"

Almark shakes his head.

"Some people are heartbroken by your impotence."

"There's no one like that."

Leila shook her head without a nibble.

"I'm here."

"Then you'll come in with me?

"Huh?"

I saw Almark surprised by the unexpected words, as Leila challenged him.

"If you're saying it's impotent to go in alone, it's just me and you here, so you're gonna have to come in with me. Or was that just your mouth?

There was fire in Leila's eyes.

"No, I didn't. Even if I go in, I can see it for myself."

said Almark.

"But one is too dangerous. Stop being so lame, if you want to go, you should go and look for a proper mate. For example, even Wendy would understand if we spoke properly."

Leila shook her head immediately.

"You can't have that girl."

"Why not? Wendy is a trustworthy child. I'm worried about you too."

After saying so much, Almark realized that he also had a hand in telling Wendy this story properly and asking her to cooperate.

Why didn't you?

I was kind of hesitant to give Wendy a long story about the other girls from me.

I wasn't sure why that was, but I thought it might disqualify me as a magician to narrow my options with my emotions.

Almark apologizes to Illmis and Wendy in his heart.

"Let's go back and tell Wendy."

"You can't bother her her."

That's what Layla said and shook her head again.

Almark also found that a slightly lonely look peeked for only a moment.

"Why not?"

"I told you before, I don't have time for this."

When Leila blocks Almark's words cold, that's it, and she turns back to the cave all the time.

"If that's all we're talking about, I'm gonna go."

"No, Leila"

Almark still resisted.

"Absolutely not one. I don't know what kind of injury I'm going to get. I don't want you to get hurt."

But Layla doesn't answer that anymore and runs into the cave.

This is what happens in the end.

Almark thought.

I think I knew better.

Almark looked at the wand in his own hand.

That's why I brought it.

Almark grabbed Layla's arm from behind as he jumped into the cave following Layla.

"Wait, Leila."

"Let go."

Layla turns around with a rugged look.

"If you really want to go, I'll go, too. I won't leave you alone."

"You?

Leila looked at Almark like she was stunned.

"You said so yourself. He said it would only be a leg job."

"Yes."

Almark nods.

"Still going with you."

That's what I said, I saw Layla straight away.

"I decided not to leave you alone anymore."

Layla opens her eyes.

"... sounds stupid"

Slightly, Leila said as confused.

"Arms. Get off me."

That's what they say, and I realize I was still grabbing Layla's arm.

"Oh, sorry"

Apologize and let go of my hand.

"... if you want to follow me, you can follow me"

That's what Layla said, walked out.

"If you're really on your feet, I'm going to leave you merciless."

"That's fine."

Almark firmly re-gripped Mars's wand.

In front of them, an iron door appeared.
