The morning I refrained from the magic festival the next day.
A crowd well beyond the martial arts tournament was expected, and signs of guidance had already been put up everywhere in the college.
Nevertheless, the royalty is not coming, so there is no appearance of the frivolous samurai.
Whatever the eyeballs of the Magic Festival, it is an exhibition impromptu of magic fixtures created by the students of the High Ministry.
The concept of classes and classes has disappeared, and in the Higher Department, where each specialty area is studied, different magic tools are created in combination with research and challenges.
At this magic festival, which sells them to magicians outside, magicians and merchants from all over the world visit the college for it.
Of course, the general public, other than magicians, take a number of trips to see the various offerings of students in the middle and elementary sectors, but the most popular is the first day and the third day of the sorcery festival, which runs over three days.
The reason for this is simple.
Many magicians and merchants push over on their first day trying to get the magic gear they're looking for before they sell out.
And on the last day, magicians and merchants gather again in anticipation of the sale of the remaining magic equipment at lower prices.
If magicians and merchants gather, so do their followers, associates and many others.
That's why the second day when the two Almarks performed the play was the least populated valley day.
Today, the last rehearsal was supposed to be in the auditorium.
Wear all the costumes you make properly, mobilize all the backgrounds and props, and do all the performances exactly as they were made.
I don't have a whole day of classes, so I can spend all my time preparing for anything but rehearsals.
So I just stopped going to class and practicing early this morning and left the dorm at the usual time already.
"Almark, it's been a while."
That's what he called me. Looking back, freshman Eldo was looking up at Almark with his chest all distracted.
"Hey, Eldo. Good morning."
"You haven't seen it lately. Were you in class early?"
Nodding at Eldo's words.
"Yeah. Have a little play practice."
"Right. Is that a good role?"
"... yeah, you are"
Almark laughs bitterly.
"It's the perfect part for me."
"The way you put it, at least you don't seem to be the star or anything"
Eldo says things like Ein.
"But it's good to work so hard in any role."
Eldo nods like Illmis, slapping Almark on the back.
"I'm going to see the real deal too, so come on."
"Thanks"
Almark answers that and then asks, curious.
Speaking of which, are you alone today?
The girl Eldo and I are always with, I don't see Sicily.
"Yeah, sort of."
Eldo nods vaguely.
"What's wrong?"
When I ask, I answer sideways like I can't tell you.
"Too much power in chorus practice, I'm a little upset."
"Kanka"
Almark unexpectedly looks down at Eldo's face next door.
"I don't know what you're gonna do."
Eldo points his lips slightly and tells him to excuse himself, turning his face opposite Almark.
"It's nothing. I've been tired of going to school with Sicily lately."
"Yeah."
Almark nodded.
"But I think the sooner we make up, the better. 'Cause the harder it gets over time."
"How do we make up?"
Eldo said that uncommonly and looked up at Almark.
In unexpected words, Almark unwittingly gets stuck in a response.
"Uh, that's"
"What?"
Eldo gets annoyed.
"How could Almark know that?"
"No, I get it."
Almark answered hastily.
"To make up, it's always about talking to you like you always do. Just like before."
"As usual?
Eldo looks at Almark in a frigid way.
"I don't think so."
"But if we want to make up for each other, I think that's the best thing to do."
says Almark.
"Eldo, 'cause what if Sicily talks to you like she always does in the classroom?
"Sicily?
Eldo shook his head wide after keeping his lips pointed and his face slightly red and shut up.
"If you've done something so white, I'll tell you to apologize."
"That's not good."
"Why not? Without apologizing, such a good bug."
"No, Eldo"
Almark shakes his head.
"Talking to someone who's awkward as if nothing happened to them."
That's what I'm saying, I can put my strength into words.
"It's a very courageous thing to do."
"Oh, my God, put some effort into it"
Eldo looks nosy and stares at Almark.
"Courage? No, I'm just trying to figure it out."
"That's not true."
Anyway, I won't admit it.
"Ah."
Since Almark suddenly turned forward, Eldo was also followed and turned forward.
By the side of the road, Sicily stood.
Sicily looked a little distracted when she saw Eldo, but still ran over like she had decided to.
"Morning, Eldo. Good morning, Almark."
"Morning, Sicily"
Instead of Eldo, who can't answer anything, Almark returns a greeting.
Tomorrow is the magic festival.
That's what Almark said and smiled at Sicily.
"Yeah."
Sicily nods.
"Will Almark be in the play, too?
"Oh, I'm leaving."
When Almark nods, Sicily looks hard at Eldo with a red face.
"Then I'll go check it out. Eldo, let's go check it out together."
"Oh, oh."
Eldo replied like things were stuck in his throat.
"You can go."
"Good."
To Sicily's appearance of smiling and hands together as relieved, did Eldo try to regain his pace?
"But Almark seems like a bit of a role. I don't think he's going to make it that far."
and slap haters.
"Oh, you're not the star, Almark"
Sicily looks up at Almark.
"Yeah. Come out on the way, you'll die soon enough"
When Almark answers, Sicily shakes her head as sympathetic.
"Poor Almark. I can't believe you only let me play that role."
"Well, it would be tragic if we didn't take a look at it."
"Yeah. I'll go check it out for you, so die hard, Almark"
"Don't worry about what we're looking at. Die in peace."
Almark grins and nods bitterly at the two of them, who are completely back on track.
"Thanks. Glad to hear it."
Then I see the two of them starting to walk side by side in illumination and step forward to stay out of the way.
I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry.
That's what Almark said. He left the two of them early on.
When I pulled away a lot and then turned around softly, they both talked well and seemed to have fun at their usual rate.
Seeing that, on the other hand, I'm glad the two of you were able to make up for it, looking back at us, Almark felt another tingling pain in his chest.
