"Almark."
It was Serraja who spoke to Almark as soon as he entered the classroom.
"This is between me and Almark, and there's something I'd like to change."
"Eh, now I'm teasing you"
Almark is astonished.
Today is the last rehearsal just before production.
"Yeah. I want to change it."
Serraja nodded with a serious face.
Sellah's role is as a witch who takes a smile away from the queen.
You could call it the biggest villain in the play, and that's why it needed to be equipped with the unbeatable power of Queen Leila.
Curimet of the script also gently told Almark before that
"I think Seraha is the only one who can't do it."
And I've revealed it.
He also struggled a lot to counteract Leila, who becomes increasingly beautiful and powerful by sealing her smile after the queen's role has been decided.
Looks like he was trying to create his own witch by borrowing a witch's book in the library to research it or listening to what Dr. Feea used to call "Ice Feer”.
Serraja, daughter of a wealthy merchant and growing up not so much as a nobleman, is a bright, healthy girl who makes the people she is with fun, but like Leila, she had changed her image a lot for this play.
"Swordsman Almark."
So much for Seraha's expression of reaching toward Almark, drifting to something of a strange hue along with his wretchedness as a witch, that Almark went unwittingly far.
Almark had also created in himself something like another personality: the cursed swordsman Almark.
It works well in acting with Serrah and Nelson and feels like I'm firmly into the play.
But in the last scene with Wendy, Almark, the student reality of the Southern School of Magic, turned up as the son of a northern mercenary, always ending in an impudent way.
"How do you change that?"
When Almark asks, Serraja whispers a little.
"The witch Selaha wants to turn King Amor to herself."
"Get Reido?
"Yeah."
Serraja nods.
"So take your smile away from the queen."
The reason the witch Serraja takes her smile away from Queen Leila is simply because, according to the script, she was jealous of the beauty of the queen.
From the Queen, who combines a noble identity with a beauty commensurate with it, the witch takes away the art of laughter.
"Blessed you. I'm sure you'll live a wonderful, enviable life from now on. But without a single smile."
That's what makes Leila laugh. Although Seraha's acting is powerful and impressive, so is Almark.
"I guess that means the dialogue will also change"
"I won't change it in situations that take away a smile."
Serraja replied.
"Because it's humiliating. Your husband... oh, you're still my fiancée at this time... I'll curse you because I want one, what a queen to say."
"Uh, yeah, I guess..."
Almark nods vaguely.
I'm not sure Almark understands the difference between that and being jealous of beauty.
"So make the queen think she was only jealous of your beauty."
"Yeah."
"But I really want King Amor to turn around. Just spill that feeling gently on Almark."
"I see."
Almark has finally figured out what Seraha is going to say.
"That's cute."
said Almark.
"I don't know if that's the right way to put it."
"I guess you say cute"
Serraja twists his neck.
"But I want to make my personality a little 3D. I'm not just jealous of beauty, I'm inferior to Leila's acting."
"Okay."
Almark nodded.
I even remembered being impressed by Seraha's attitude in trying to pursue completeness to the end.
"Then how does dialogue change where?
At the last rehearsal, the changes at Sellah's foundations were praised by Wallis.
"Sellah, that change was good."
Wallis slaps his hand.
"A witch has emerged not as a simple evil, but as one woman with a complex personality. Let's get down to business."
"Yeah."
Serraja nods joyfully and turns around Almark.
"Thanks for hanging out with me, Almark"
"No, I'm glad it worked. I have to be careful not to make mistakes in production, too."
Almark nodded with a smile.
"Yeah, let's do our best.... Layla!
Serraja smiles and rushes towards Leila.
With that back dropped off, Almark was thinking.
There was something in Almark's dialogue that resonated with his heart, which he changed at Sellah's suggestion.
That's why, okay.
Not like this.
Every piece of buyer, torque, and Layla's advice turns my head.
And today, the courage of Sicily I saw.
Thoughts hanging in plays by Nelson, Norish and Sellah.
Above all.
Wendy's sad eyes.
With all this cosmic feeling, I can't challenge the real deal.
After all, even today, all I could say was one word.
"Thanks, Wendy"
Besides, Wendy just nodded silently.
It's betrayal of our people that keeps us acting like this. [M]
Even for everyone who wants to make the play a success.
Even for the people who gave me advice.
Above all, to keep Wendy from feeling any sadder.
We need words.
Almark thought clearly.
Even if Wendy had a pardon wife.
Even if Wendy is going to be with him in the future.
Our trust in this college should not be a lie.
Though it's as if I don't know what to do next with Wendy.
Making Wendy smile now is all I can do right now.
Wendy stood alone in the darkness of the guest seat, away from the other students.
Seeing that figure, Almark's feelings were determined.
Almark slowly walked over to Wendy.
"Wendy."
To that voice, Wendy looks up all the time.
Those eyes that look at Almark, they shake sadly.
I shouldn't let you look at me like this anymore.
The important thing is for Wendy to smile.
I don't know if that smile can be directed at me.
It's not a problem.
Yes, it's not a problem.
Almark told himself.
"I have something important to tell you."
said Almark.
"Something I have to tell you."
Wendy was staring at Almark like she held her breath.
"Will you give me some time? After school today"
Wendy told me to block Almark's words.
"I have to tell Almark something, too."
It was a badly panicked tone.
But Almark's chest is tightened in those eyes that stare straight at Almark.
"I want you to wait a day today."
Wendy said.
My voice was trembling.
"So, because I'll be ready too. Please."
"Okay."
Almark nodded.
Whatever word you hear, it doesn't change how much you care about my Wendy.
But I may need to be prepared to take it.
"Tomorrow, then. After a set of plays, I guess."
Wendy nods at Almark's words.
"Yeah."
"So the place is..."
"I like that stone place"
Wendy said.
Almark knew right away.
During his summer vacation, Almark used to meditate, a stone on his way to the woods.
Wendy and Almark were reunited there when they returned from Galentore.
During the sorcery festival, no students enter the woods.
I'm sure you can talk without people interrupting you.
"Okay."
Almark nodded.
"I'll wait over there."
Wendy nodded.
"I'll be there."
To put it that way, Wendy flips herself away from Almark like she can no longer afford it.
Almark dropped off that back and exhaled deeply.
Tomorrow.
First day of the sorcery festival.
I wonder what happens to our relationship.
"Almark."
Unexpectedly, a small voice called Almark.
A familiar voice.
When I looked up, in the dark, that girl stood, dispersed in the darkness.
Dark hair, clear white skin.
At the martial arts tournament, the girl who warned Almark.
"Don't let go of Mars's wand."
Staring at Almark, that's all the girl said.
When Almark tried to open his mouth, the figure vanished instantly as it blended into the darkness.
