Volume 3 - CH 2

Morgen is the son of a lumberjack from a village in the western part of the Kingdom of Garai, but of course being a lumberjack is not a very profitable job.

However, when it was decided that Morgen would enroll in the Nork Academy of Magic, the lord decided to give his family a small pension as an extra gift.

Of course, the amount was not so large that he did not have to work, but it made his family's life much easier.

Thanks to this, his father was able to pick him up and take him home for summer vacations the year before and last year.

"This year, my sister was born,"

Morgen said

«She's my second sister. Father and mother can't come to pick me up this year because they have to earn money for food and take care of her,"

"It can't be helped," he muttered, but he still looked sad.”

If that's the case, well, I'll accompany you once in a while. I don't have any plans other than meditation practice.

Almark patted Morgen on the shoulder.

"What are you two talking about?"

Wendy joined the conversation. She looked at Almark and Mogen in turn.

"Ah, summer vacation. Wendy's leaving right after the first day, of vacation right?"

Wendy nodded.

'Yes. To see my father and mother in Galuentor."

Wendy mentioned the name of the capital of the Kingdom of Garai.

"Oh, Galentol? Wasn't the Berhaber family's territory a bit further north?"

Almark asked. He just saw a map of the Kingdom of Garai in the library the other day.

" My father is now also a minister of the kingdom, so he basically lives in the capital,"

"Wow."

"Everyone else is going home, right?"

Morgen said. “I am still looking for the others,"

"I think so. ......"

"Where's Wallis?"

Almark asked, a sudden thought coming to him.

"Wallis?"

Wendy raised an eyebrow.

'I've never asked him, but I'm ...... sure he's going home. The Mosvilles are on the western edge of Garai, so it would take him nearly ten days just to get there, even with the white carriage on the Royal Road.”

Mosville.

Almark heard Wallis' last name for the first time now.

There had been plenty of other times to ask, but he had somehow failed to do so until today.

Wallis Mosville.

Almark remembered that he had seen the Mosville family's territory on that map.

It was a family with a small territory in what could be called a remote area.

It was probably not far behind Wendy's Barhaber family, or even Torque's Shiffey family, in terms of family status.

Surprising, Almark thought. That he would be much higher nobility.

"I guess it's just me and Almark who don't go home. I will getting tired of fishing every day with Almark."

Morgen had already decided that the two of them would fish together every day.

"What, fishing? No, I'm busy with meditation ......"

"What, you're staying here for the summer vacation here Almark, ?"

Wendy asks, and Almark tells her the same story he told Mogen earlier.

"Yes, it's too far away, isn't it? ...... Oh, then!"

Wendy clapped her hands as if she had came up with good idea. Her eyes sparkled.

'Come to my house, both of you! We can get to Galentol in two days. Armark and Morgen can come , right ?"

"What?"

Mogen leans forward, his eyes sparkling.

I won't be home all the time either, but if schedules work out, you can stay with us in 10 days or so. ......"

Wow, ! Almark, let's go. Let's definitely go, let's go to Wendy's house ."

Morgen couldn't think over to what Wendy had just said and started huffing and puffing.

"No, I have meditation training ...... Mogen, you hear me?"

Armark called out to him, but Mogen was too excited to hear him.

'Oh, I'm sorry. Is that too much trouble for you ?"

In fact, he was uncomfortable.

The house of a great aristocrat who is a minister of the kingdom of Garai. It was a place that Almark had never been to before in his life. Of course, there was no reason why he would not want to go there.

However, when cruel reality of not being able to use even the most rudimentary magic at the end of the third year of elementary grade , he had to come to the conclusion that there was no time to play around like that.

"No, it's not bother, but ......"

As Almark was about to say, Morgen began to press on him.

"What are you talking about? You can meditate all you want on the way there. I can't make it to Galentol on my own . Please, come along ."

"If you don't want no need to force yourself "

Wendy waved her hand hurriedly, but her face showed a hint of loneliness. Almark is weak to such face .

Headmaster also told him to valued the time he spend with

his friends,......, and only at times like this do he conveniently recall Yorog's words.

"No, I didn't say I wouldn't go, Wendy. I was just going to say that ten days was too much of a bother, so I was going to say I'd be back in five days, which is half of that."

Wendy's face brightened at these words, and Morgen's shout "Yay!" echoed through the classroom
