Kalim

Oh, Silver!
We'll be in the lecture hall next. You better hurry up.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Aah, Kalim, it's you.
|
 Kalim
Kalim 
|
What's wrong? You seem more spaced out than usual?
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
I have been doing some thinking....
*Sigh*....
|
 Kalim
Kalim 
|
Alright, you're definitely acting a little weird.
You can share it with me, I'll be your listening ear!
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
... The truth is, I argued with Sebek over Lord Malleus this morning...
|
 Kalim
Kalim 
|
It's rare for you to fight, huh?
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
I wouldn't say it was bad enough to be a fight, but...
I was told that my attitude towards Lord Malleus was neglectful of my duties...
|
 Kalim
Kalim 
|
Duties, huh.... Ohh, right. You and that Sebek guy are Malleus' attendants, right?
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Not attendants, we are his guards.
|
 Kalim
Kalim 
|
I see, and then?
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Sebek was trying to escort Lord Malleus to his classroom, and I stopped him.
|
 Kalim
Kalim 
|
Why? Is it bad for you to attend school together?
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
It is not really that, but Sebek is always trying to look after Malleus without ever leaving his side.
He's been particularly full of motivation after he enrolled into the college since he can finally stay by Lord Malleus' side.
But accompanying him constantly, even in school, is being over-protective.
Even Lord Malleus needs his own time alone as a student, right?
However, Sebek told me, "By failing to look after Lord Malleus, even for a second, you are neglecting your duty."
|
 Kalim
Kalim 
|
I see. So you're struggling over whether you all should go to school together, huh!
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
That isn't exactly what I was saying.
But yeah, ...that is the gist of it.
|
 Kalim
Kalim 
|
Hmm.... If I were in Malleus' position
I would feel kinda lonely.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Re-really?
|
 Kalim
Kalim 
|
You see, if one day, Jamil tells me, "From tomorrow onwards, we will attend school separately," I would be shocked.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Hmm...
It's difficult for me to understand, but is it really like that?
Oh right, you and Jamil are always together.
|
 Kalim
Kalim 
|
Yeah. We grew up together since we were children.
It's just like we're brothers.
Never mind that, what did Malleus himself say?
Like, if he wants to go to school together, or if he'd prefer to be alone.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
He did not say anything specific.
As always, Lord Malleus acted very easygoing about it.
What if Lord Malleus is actually hurt by my incompetency to understand him?
|
 Kalim
Kalim 
|
Nahhh, rather than Malleus, you're the one who's more bummed out now.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Me...?
Now that you mentioned it... I had my favorite risotto for lunch, but it took a terribly long time for me to eat it.
Malleus' face appeared in my mind whenever I moved my spoon, and I couldn't continue to eat.
When the school bell rang, I had yet to finish my food
so I hurriedly shoved down my food at the last minute...
|
 Kalim
Kalim 
|
You're really a nice guy who cares for his friends.
Cheer up, Silver!
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
...Oh my, sorry for talking about this before changing classes.
You better hurry or the next class will start without you.
|
 Kalim
Kalim 
|
Oh right! Since we're in the same class, let's go together.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
I'm fine with that, but...
That textbook you're holding is for Astrology class.
|
 Kalim
Kalim 
|
Hmm?
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
The next class is Practical Magic.
|
 Kalim
Kalim 
|
...You're right!
Thanks for telling me!
Let's see. The Practical Magic textbook...
I wonder if it's in my bag.
|
*rustle*
|
 Kalim
Kalim 
|
It's not this, this one is wrong one too..., hmmm.
That's weird~.
Jamil shouldn't have made a mistake.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
...Jamil? Wait, not only is he the dorm leader's assistant,
But you even rely on him to take care of the trivial things?
|
 Kalim
Kalim 
|
Yep. He's a really amazing and capable guy!
When I try to prepare it by myself, there's always something that I forget to pack in~.
Ah, here it is! ...Hmm? There's a memo on it?
It says "Do not forget your robes and assigned readings for Practical Magic"
Oh no! I completely forgot about that!
I'd be in trouble if Jamil wasn't here.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
...
|
 Kalim
Kalim 
|
Hmm? What's wrong?
You're staring at my face...
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Thank you, Kalim. Thanks to you, I'm now certain.
As I thought, it is not good to be over-protective.
My policy was not wrong after all.
|
 Kalim
Kalim 
|
Huh? I don't really get it, but...
You look relieved now. Good for you!
