Even so, Almark had nothing but clothes paid for at the college, so he nevertheless cleansed his body and managed to leave the room dressed to a lesser degree than ugly.
I also took a peek at Morgen's and Nelson's rooms, but they were already leaving and absent.
The sunset is falling completely, and it's already a good time to say it's night.
We have to go so we don't delay.
When I tried to leave the dorm while rumbling the directions Wendy taught me in my head, I was called out from behind, "Hey."
Looking back, an arm-wrapped torque stood beside the front door.
"Hey, Torque."
Torque does not respond to it and glimpses from Almark's head to his toenails.
"A concert?"
"Yeah. Speaking of which, aren't you going?"
"Sit quietly and listen to music. It's not a pattern."
That's what Torque says and after laughing with his nose, he looks to explore Almark's face.
"What?"
You went to the woods today.
"Oh."
Almark remembers being torque in the woods in the morning.
Speaking of which, you were wrong this morning.
"You've been running a lot of momentum."
I was in a hurry.
"An urgent business in the woods from early morning."
Torque laughs sarcastically when he says so.
"In the evening, I met Leila in the dorm"
Torque says.
"I was probably pale, so I called out worried. What did Leila say?"
"I don't know."
Almark shook his head.
In the meantime, I'm relieved to find out that Layla was able to get back to her dorm properly.
"I'm fine, thank you for worrying, because. Besides, smile."
Torque flaunts his face.
"I've been with that guy for almost three years now, but enough to count that I've been thanked. Not to mention I've never been told to smile."
That's what I say and I tremble.
That was creepy.
"Right."
Almark smiled.
Leila, too, would have been nice enough to talk to Torque properly.
"I've never seen Leila like that before. You did something."
Me? Why me?
"I could tell from Layla's outfit that he was going to the woods. So I connected with what you looked like in the morning."
Torque stared at Almark.
"You did something to Leila. That's what changed Leila."
"No way."
Almark laughs.
"If Leila has changed, I wonder if that's because Leila herself wanted to change"
That's what I say, smiling back at Torque's face.
"People don't change unless they want to. I thought that was what you knew best."
"Hmm."
Torque snorts boringly at Almark's words.
"I haven't changed."
"I guess so."
Almark shakes his neck.
"I think you've changed a lot since we first met."
"Stop."
Torque shook his head.
"I'm not talking about me. I'm talking about Leila."
That's what I said, then I flaunt my face as I recall.
"Either way, that sucks"
"Shit, what's wrong?"
"You suck."
Torque looked at Almark with a fed up face.
"If we get Leila's horns off, we're gonna be stronger than we are now. One of these days, Rosfilia's gonna get over it."
"Ha."
Almark laughed.
"Isn't that amazing? What's wrong with that?"
"Layla shouldn't look so hard in the corner of the classroom. Sooner or later, I was going to skip you, and you did something extra."
"So if it wasn't me,"
"I don't believe you. What you say."
Torque shook his head.
"You look like you don't have anything. You always do something shady. You're the one."
That's what I say, turn myself in.
"Bye. Go to the concert without delay."
"Torque, wait."
Almark called off the torque.
"What the fuck?"
The torque turns troublesome.
"I'm going to a concert, but I think this clothes is weird."
"I don't know."
Torque made a frightened voice.
"Weird or nothing, you only have those clothes anyway"
"Sort of."
"Then you have to go with it."
That's all Torque said and tried to walk away, but at the end he turned around and added.
"Well, I guess we can just leave that stick behind."
For the first time since they said that, Almark realized he was holding Mars's wand.
Almark walks early in the city.
Almark, who had barely left the college at night since his admission, walked through the city of Norc with fresh thoughts showing a different face than during the day.
Heh. Is this street busy at night?
I see. Is this shop open at this hour?
Walk with that in mind.
The concert hall is up ahead.
Good, we'll make it in time.
"Almark!
Suddenly he was called out from across the street and looked back, Morgen was standing.
I have some kind of juice vessel in my hand.
"Morgen. You're eating something again."
"Yeah. That stall over there"
Morgen points to the stall across the street with a spoon.
"I refused to be hungry when I listened to music, but Nelson insisted,"
That's what I said, take a sip of juice.
"So get your stomach full before the concert."
"Right."
Almark remembered that speaking of which he had not spoken a lot of things in the morning either.
"Well, I guess I'll have a drink too."
"Is Almark hungry when he listens to music too? Then I'll give you the menu I recommend."
Almark walks to the stall with Morgen.
"Almark."
After ordering the dishes, Morgen says as he mogs his mouth.
"Looks like something happened today."
You know what I mean?
Almark laughs bitterly and sees Morgen.
I can tell.
That's how Morgen answers and sticks the spoon into the vessel.
"I don't have any more utensils. I think I'll have another drink too."
That's what I said, then I grin when I look at Almark.
"Because you're easy to understand."
Almark also shakes his head and laughs bitterly.
"I can't hide anything from you. I'll talk to you later."
When Almark, alongside Morgen, is scratching the juice from the stall,
"You guys, why are you eating here?"
and was called from behind.
Looking back, Nelson, with a frightened face, stood.
Next door, there's Leido.
"Hey, Nelson, Reido"
Almark waved to both of them and drank the rest of the juice.
"Yum. You guys want some too?"
"I don't need it."
Nelson shook his head and sighed.
"The girls and kids are worried you guys aren't coming yet, so I'm here to find you. I thought Morgen was gonna be around here anyway, but I didn't think they'd even catch Almark."
"Dinner's a little off."
Almark answers.
"Well, I'm glad you found it easy."
Reido smiles.
"If you're done eating, let's go. It's about to start."
"That's right. I don't like you guys. I like girls."
"You guys, not without Almark."
That's what Morgen says, and he drinks the juice with regret.
"Both of you. Here we go."
Urged by Nelson, Almark and Morgen made payments and left the stall.
"Ah, a concert."
Morgen makes the stretch.
"I wonder if I can stay awake till the end."
"Don't just snore."
Nelson says.
"I look forward to it."
Almark smiles.
"I wonder what kind of music you can listen to"
Almark walked out of the city at night alongside the Nelsons.
