We usually only had lunch in the dining room, where we were supposed to have an early dinner before we left.

Radmar also came home decently about that time.

On the way to the dining room, from the wrong Ain,

It's you guys today.

And I can speak up.

"Oh. Ain't we done last time?"

"That was just the day before the concert."

Ain't nodding.

"Be careful, you guys."

"Careful?

Ain't nodding when Almark raises an eyebrow at Ain's profound words.

"Last year Ficke fell and was injured climbing a tall tree trying to show a good spot for a woman. The movement of the junior classmates is surprisingly unreadable."

"Oh. That's..."

As Almark nodded, Ain glanced at the member's face.

"Hmm."

"Almark, you're going to the dining room first."

"Oh, yeah."

Almark waves back to Wendy as she walks away.

"Radmar Trayholm."

Ain shrugged after Wendy and the others left.

"You know what? I heard you were a prince."

When Almark asks back, Ein nods.

"He's not the only one. I know everyone in the elementary school. He is one of the sons of the sister of the current king of the kingdom of Volcado. Well, you must be royal, but you can't call me a prince. I'm sure you have the right to inherit the throne, even though it's low."

"Heh."

"Well, be careful over there. Royalty is mostly the only thing you talk about."

Ein slaps Almark on the shoulder and tries to leave.

"Ein. That's a word that's not like you."

To Almark's words, Ein looks back with a slightly dashed face.

"... right"

After nodding small and acknowledging the word, Ain only added one word.

"Well, I hear he's actually at a falling point. I'm sure it'll take a hand."

"Really?"

Then that standing behavior may also be a manifestation of a lack of confidence, Almark thinks.

Nevertheless, I look at Ain's leaving back and think.

Ein doesn't seem to have very good feelings for the royalty.

His reaction to King Wolfe's prince at the martial arts tournament was also chilling.

I guess Ain has a lot of things too.

Guys, they're carrying something on each of us.

That's the same for me.

Almark turned his heels back and followed Wendy and the others.

When I received a brief dinner in the dining room and went to the table, Fita and Zap had already cemented both ends of Wendy.

"I totally hooked up with Wendy."

As Morgen whispers, the two are talking to Wendy with a full smile as to where the first awkward looking face goes.

I guess I'm glad Wendy responds more politely to that again.

"So, what about Radmar?

Almark asked Morgen after smiling at it.

"Over there."

At the tip of Morgen's finger, Radmar was sitting in a seat alone, away from everyone, eating.

He said, "I want one."

"Right. Trouble."

Almark laughed bitterly.

"I hope you don't want to tell me you don't want to walk down the road with me, even if it's as good as a meal"

"If you do, I won't share the treats with you."

Bring the meal to your mouth as Morgen says so with his face up.

"That's troublesome"

Laughing and responding, Almark looks around at the other tables.

The other squads seem to be eating generally soothing everywhere.

I don't think Leila smiles much, but Leido takes good care of her junior classmates.

Needless to say, Wallis' lack of that, and Torque's squad seems Seraha is working hard for the squad leader's heartless minutes.

The most exciting is still the squad of Nelson and Norrish, whose reluctant laughter, as if it were already a familiar group, is coming up from the lower classmates.

"Everywhere else looks like fun."

Morgen's voice seems somewhat envious.

"We are the only selfish prince's amulet."

"Well, don't say that, Morgen."

Almark laughs unexpectedly at Morgen's graffiti.

According to Ain, it doesn't seem appropriate to call him a prince, but, well, there's good.

"It's a long night. You just have to crack it down."

"I can crack it, hey"

Morgen sighed.

"I think the sun will show its face before I can crack it."

When we assembled at the entrance to the forest, the sun was completely set.

The lamps the sophomores hold in their dizzy hands illuminate each face.

After this, we will depart for each group.

There are a total of five sites where the herbs are collected, but the order in which they are toured varies from group to group.

Even if there are differences along the way, different groups are unable to act together.

"We're from Mogatsukibana collection."

Morgen says as he looks at the itinerary.

"You walk for what you want from the start."

That's what Wendy says and nods.

Fita and Zap won't stick to either side of Wendy anymore and leave.

Radmar is standing alone away and kicking the stone at his feet.

"Are the Almarks from Mogatsukibana?"

It was Nelson who spoke up.

"We're from Mikirihanexa."

"Right. Be careful not to get rashes."

"Ooh."

Nelson smiles and raises his hand, then looks strangely at Almark's back.

"You, why are you carrying such a mess?"

"Oh, this"

Almark looks back at the long sword on his back.

"Just in case, my teacher told me to keep only one in my class"

Almark returns the answer he had prepared in advance for when asked.

"Right. Well, it's the night forest. Just in case there's no demons out there."

That's what Nelson says and nods.

"Huh. Then I'll bring my sword from the martial arts."

Almark laughs when he sees Nelson waving his wand like a bore.

"You really like martial arts."

"I'm the man who's gonna be a magician to be a knight."

Nelson laughs back like that, turning to his own squad, hey, you guys, let's go! and speak up.

Norish's, Nelson, don't look great, etc. and there's a mix of voices, and Nelson's group disappears into the woods with a laugh that looks fun.

"Sounds fun."

Morgen says enviously.

"Approximately. We are."

to Almark's words. Morgen said,

"You sound like your mother."

and look at Almark with his eyes.

"Well, if you walk a lot, the sweets will taste good."

That's what Morgen said and stretched out like he was back on his mind.

Come on, let's go too.

"Yeah."

Almark speaks to the Wendys.

Guys, can we go?

Wendy nods and Fita and Zap reply cheerfully, yes.

Good boys. Almark nods back.

"Radmar, I'm coming."

Radmar doesn't look up, whether he hears Almark or not.

"Radmar"

Wendy called.

"I'm coming."

"I know."

Radmar's grumpy voice returned.

He seems willing to follow me for once.

Almark looked up into the woods at night.

Come on, what night will it be?

"Let's go"

Again, Almark walked out.
