The two of us just took each other out of the infirmary and came across Celia just to see how she was doing.
"Oh, you woke up"
"Yes."
Wendy bows her head.
"Doctor, I'm sorry for your concern."
"It's okay. Good."
That's what Celia sees in Wendy's face.
"You're getting a little redness. Are you going to the play?
"Yes."
Wendy replies fine.
"Yes."
Celia nods and takes out two vials of medicinal water and hands them to Wendy and Almark one at a time.
"You will also use magic in the performance of the play. Drink this."
Almark suspected for a moment that he was the same one who was drunk at the martial arts tournament, but apparently not.
A clear blue liquid is shaking in the bottle.
Celia chuckles when she sees the food they both hold in their hands.
"You eat a lot"
"Oh, this is"
Wendy blushes.
"Morgen brought it to me."
Almark answers instead.
"Yes. Eating well is a good thing. Food is fundamental to life. Morgen knows that very well."
Celia smiles and nods.
"Would you like one, Doctor?"
When Almark offers the skewer, Celia looks out, alas.
"Are you sure? Well, then I guess I'll have this."
I bowed my head to Celia, who happily received a vegetable meat-stuffed skewer, and the two left the school building.
When I washed my face in the water field behind the school building and got myself together, I pinched the outdoor food Morgen had brought me and took a meal.
Wendy still didn't seem to have that much appetite, and when she drank about half of the cold bean soup, all she had to do was watch Almark eat the vial of medicated water as she rocked it in her hand.
Almark also re-wraps the rest in wrapper paper when eaten to some extent at the same speed.
"Well, shall we drink?"
"Yeah."
The two of us open the lid of the bottle at the same time and sigh the medicine water in one breath.
The medicinal water tasted like water deep in the sea.
When Almark looked at Wendy, Wendy nodded with a face that looked unexpected, too.
"This is surprisingly drinkable."
"Good for you."
Almark nods.
"I didn't think of it as potion water. It's just water."
"I can't even say water. But it was easier to drink than any pot of water I've ever had."
Wendy looks at the strangely emptied vial.
"Of course it's not delicious."
"Well, there's no choice."
The two head to the auditorium with their feet.
It's before noon.
I may be done with my 1st or 2nd grade offerings in the morning.
As he walked, Fufu Wendy looked back at Almark.
"Thank you, Almark"
"Huh?"
"You've been beside me since yesterday, haven't you? Me, I was asleep, but somehow I felt Almark was there for me."
"Yeah. I was worried."
Almark nods.
"So I was told to go home, and I stayed beside you."
"I felt kind of relieved. He said he wasn't alone."
Wendy said so and smiled. Later she asked a little strangely.
"But were you that worried? Dr. Celia told me I was okay now, didn't she?
Almark wonders how to answer.
"Yeah, it wasn't you I was worried about. Oh, no, of course I was worried about your health."
Almark waves in panic.
"When you woke up, I was most worried that if no one was there, you might miss me"
Wendy looked surprised and then gave a happy, spicy, complicated look.
"Thanks"
The auditorium is right beside the school building. As we talked about that, they quickly reached the entrance door to the auditorium.
"Speaking of which,"
Almark looked at Wendy with a warm face.
Wendy scratches and stops.
"We're still here."
You weren't talking, and Almark almost swallowed the word.
Because the main door opened from the inside and the audience flooded all the way out.
The morning section is over.
"Oh, my God."
Wendy puts her hand on her mouth.
"We need to get to everyone quickly"
That's what I say, I go inside the end of the aisle against the flow of people.
In the end, I couldn't tell you, I got serious.
I have no choice.
Almark followed suit.
"Almark, Wendy! You're here!
It was still Nelson who found them first.
It seemed like the whole class was just getting together behind the scenes to confirm the production with one hand the script.
"Are you okay?"
To Nelson's shout, everyone turns the two of them around.
"Sorry I bothered you"
Almark says, followed by Wendy bowing her head as well.
"Guys, I'm sorry. We can both be in the play."
"Okay."
Wallis, who was at the center of everyone, made a noise and closed the script.
"Guys, forget about my story until just now. The production will follow the original practice."
Wow, I cheered.
Torque pounded his tongue and threw the script around and walked away, but the rest of his people smiled and ran over to the two of them.
"Wendy, are you sure you're okay?
Norish and Lilty called out worryingly, and Wendy nodded sorry.
"Yeah. Guys, I'm so sorry"
"Almark, you look like you haven't slept much."
A well-perceived reido looks at Almark's complexion and hisses his eyebrows.
"Why don't you take a little more time off to work?"
"No."
Almark shakes his head.
"Thank you, Reido. But it's okay. No problem, I'll do it right."
"Then I'm pretty sure that means we're both leaving."
Nelson pushes caution.
"Oh."
As Almark nodded, Nelson laughed happily.
"Okay. I knew we had to get everyone together. 'Cause we all decided to do our class plays together."
Seeing that smile, Almark stopped thinking extra.
If it's unnecessary, I thought about it last night.
Now, let's focus on the play in front of us.
Looking at Wendy, Wendy seemed to think the same thing.
I looked into Almark's eyes and smiled and nodded small.
