Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand - Chapter 141
ying Fish Restaurant is a small restaurant located in a rather obscure place a short distance from the main street, and with its humble signage, one would have passed by without having been told that this was the place to go.
A wooden plate reading “Closed today” was now hanging on the entrance door.
When the two of them opened the door and entered the restaurant, most of the class had already gathered in the restaurant, which was not so big as the appearance.
Everyone had taken their places and were chatting and laughing.
“Oh, I see you two are here.”
Morgen, who was smiling and talking with Nelson and Raido, notices the two of them and calls out to them.
“I’ve never been here before. It is my first time here,”
Almark replies.
“Wendy got me here.”
Wendy nodded.
I should have told you the way yesterday,”
Mogen looks apologetic, and Raido shakes his head.
No, Morgen, it’s none of your concern. ,
Nelson, seeing the question mark in Mogens’ head, smiles as well.
“That’s all right,” Since he made it here.”
“Yes, he did.”
Mogen nodded with a smile.
Wendy was soon approached by Liltie , Norrisch and the others and joined the circle of girls.
I”‘m glad I could make it.”
Morgen nodded at Almark’s words.
“I think Wallis is the only one who hasn’t arrived yet.”
“I didn’t know Wallis hadn’t arrived yet.”
Almark looked around the again.
Wallis is certainly not here.
But everyone else seems to be here .
Torque, who had a fight with Wallis yesterday, was also there.
“What is it?”
Almark noticed.
“Laila doesn’t seem to be here.”
Oh.”
Morgen frowned.
“She came to Serach this morning and said she couldn’t came
“Is she sick?”
“She didn’t say why.’
“I see. ……”
I think that’s how i it .”
Morgen said, his face a little sad .
“I think it’s the shock from losing to Rosfilia,” .
“Maybe.”
Almark nodded.
“Leila was more concerned about her own victory than victory of her class.”
“That’s right.”
Morgen agreed.
“Maybe she just doesn’t feel like celebrating with everyone.”
Just then, the door opened with a light creak.
It was Wallis.
“Oh, Wallis,”
Mogen said in a relieved voice.
Oh, Wallis,”
Nelson also spoke up.
“You’re the last one ,” Nelson said.
“I’m sorry . It’s been a long time since i was here and I took a wrong turn.”
Wallis apologized.
“All right, we’re all here.”
Morgen stood up cheerfully.
Where was his gloom tone when they were talking about Leila? He was very quick to change his mood at a time like this.
“Auntie, we’re all here!
He called out to the back of the place .
“Yes, “.
A fat woman who seemed to have a good personality came out from the back of the restaurant.
“Congratulations on your victory, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you eat a lot of food today.”
Everyone replied, “Yes,” and thanked her in their own words.
” It’s okay. I was so moved when I saw how hard you all worked.”
The wife of the owner of the flying fish restaurant said, and immediately started to bring in the food from the kitchen in the back of the restaurant.
It seems that the owner is cooking in the kitchen in the back.
Everyone helped with serving the food, and when the large amount of food had been placed on the table, the celebration began.
The party proceeded in a very friendly manner.
Morgen, the most outstanding performer, was smiling broadly as he munched on the food, and Nelson and Raido were gesticulating and happily recounting the match. Norish and Liltie were listening happily to them.
Sometimes Nelson would over-glamorize his memories, and Norrisch would relentlessly deny it, which would bring a chuckle.
At the other table, Torque, Galein, Deg, are eating together without saying a word. The three of them are laughing at Deg’s occasional remark.
Almark is at the same table with Wallis and Wendy, Pillman, Curime, and Serach, and the girls, who don’t usually talk to him, ask him a lot of questions about the match.
They were all interested in the Northern Name calling that Almark performed before the match, but as Almark, he did not have much to say, just that in the region where he lived, he would try to get God to look at him like that.
Wallis seemed calm throughout, and said that it must have been quite a sight to see, and that he wished he could have seen it too.
When most of the food had been prepared, the four girls and the Buyer went into the kitchen and came out with a large cake.
I asked my Mrs. to bake it for us, and we all secretly came here in the morning,.
Norish said.
‘We thought we should all eat it together to celebrate.
‘Oh, my God! I can’t believe they brought out such a magnificent cake!”
Morgen raises his hands to show his joy.
We rented the kitchen to make it, but it was a lot harder than we thought it would be,”
Norish said, and Liltie nodded.
“The Byer was very good at making it,”
Byer proudly looked away at Serach’s words.
I can cook at least this well,” he said.
That’s great, Byer!
Morgen hugged him, and everyone laughed when they saw him frown in disgust.
The cake was sweet and firm, and of course had the rusticity of being made by an amateur, but it was still delicious enough.
Everyone ate and laughed as much as they could, and the party happily came to an end.
Almark left the Flying Fish Restaurant and quietly headed for the harbor, leaving his friends who were still laughing and whispering in front of the restaurant.
The ” Star Guardian” was still docked there.”
The unloading of the ship seemed to have been completed long ago, and there was no sign of any workers.
Standing on the dock, Almark hesitated for a moment.
He looks up at the ship, but does not see the sailor from earlier on deck.
Instead, Almark sees a familiar face at the end of the dock, a familiar face staring out to sea.
It is hard, face with a strong will that refuses to accept help from anyone.
But now that familiar face seemed as if it had cracked.
Almark’s goal was something else completely, but once he saw it, he couldn’t let her go.
“Leila!”
Almark called out softly.
