The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

When I woke up, it was already night. And just because I woke up, the gate wasn't up, it was just a gate with nothing there.

Again, I'm disappointed.

I wonder what was missing. Was Dessanne crazy? Is the color not fully reproduced? You don't have enough expression?... the more I think about it, I don't know.

When I was depressed while thinking, the bird's neck stuck behind my neck. [M]

Wow.

Suddenly a fluffy head came to my neck and I was surprised. Besides, the bird shakes its head, so it tickles with fluffy feathers and my neck tickles. [M]

"No, stop. It tickles."

I try to protest, but the fluffiness of the birds doesn't stop. Instead, the phoenix began to tickle the other side of his neck, and the tube fox slipped through the gap in his shirt and began to tickle. Alicorn also pretends to be casual and tickles with its tail. The Red Dragon and the Dragon are looking at me a little farther, but it's kind of funny.

... after being tickled like that, I kind of feel a bit better. Hmm, I guess I'm simple. [M]

"... I wonder if you encouraged me. Thank you."

But I'm sure I'm feeling a little better, so I decided to thank them. Then I saw the bird's proud face. Yeah, you're always confident. I'm a little jealous.

"I'm home."

Then I'll go home. The delicious smell of the dinner Lyla had made drifted all the way out of the house, so I felt a little better again.

"Oh, welcome home.... that you're back on your own means you won't be finished by today, right?

Lyla asked as she stirred the pot with an egg. I'm getting used to it, she...

Well, it was completed, but it failed to materialize.

Explaining this, Lyla leaned her neck straight.

"... that's what happens?

"Hmm, this is my first time, too. This is how you fail."

I was a little depressed when I said it myself, but Lyla was like, "Hmm, that's how it is."... if you look at it, you're feeling a little better again, or you're feeling less depressed.

Then everyone came together and listened to me while eating. [M]

"I tried drawing the gate, but it didn't materialize. It's just a painting, and it's completely stuck."

"... well, it's not what it used to be."

That's true in the sense that it's going to be large-scale, and that's true in terms of drawing magic. However, even the red dragon could be a dragon, so I think it would be nice to do it this time.

"I'm trying to recreate the lost magic. It won't be that easy."

"... yeah"

Laocles doesn't seem to say that well, but the point is, don't worry too much and cheer up, so thank you for accepting.

"Is that painting convincing to you as a corn?

Then Mr. Crowe asked me that, and I... nodded a little vaguely. Yeah. Ambiguous.

"... you don't even know which one you're talking about."

"Mmm...."

Crowe glanced at the painting on the wall with a bitter smile.

"I think it's a splendid success."

... yeah. Yeah, I guess so. Sure, I put a lot of effort into it. I even deepened the details, adding colors over and over again... and even the desane, I painted with great care. But it's still not enough, so now I'm just leaving the painting behind without realizing it...

"Hey, what do you think of Lyla?

"Huh? Me?

I couldn't wait to ask Lyla.

"Because you're a painter, I'd like to ask... what's missing from this painting? I don't really understand myself anymore."

Actually, I don't know. I don't know what's missing from this painting.

Lila is a painter, so she might know something. That's what I thought, but...

"Well, even if you say so... hmm, if it didn't materialize, maybe... it wasn't painting materials?

... painting materials?

"Look, maybe the watercolor is a little too light. It has a sense of transparency, and the expression outside the gate is really good. But for that reason, inside the gate... the building might not feel very dark."

Finished.

Indeed... this time, oil might have been more suitable than water color. After all, the watercolour is not very suitable for heavy and heavy expressions.

Well, then, I guess I'll have to practice painting too. Hurry up and practice so that you can draw as you wish...

... if that's what you think.

"So why don't you try the magic painting?

... eh, that way?

"You can paint exactly what you imagined. Well, then, it's just right for your ability.

Hmm... no, it certainly is.

... magic painting, the point is that I magically move the paint of magic stone powder and make it on the screen according to my own image, but... that's why it seems like I suck.

"You seem to have a lot of magic, and if you get used to it, you'll be better at it than watercolor! Look, why don't you give it a try?

"Hmm...."

... yeah. It's a corner, so let's try it.

I mean, there's nothing else I can think of. If you're doing something, you'll be distracted, and then maybe you'll feel a little better...

... so I made a magic stone paint.

I use magic stones. Magic Stone. I mean... uh, the jewel I drew.

"I have a lot of jewelry in stock....."

Faye sold me the jewels I could sell. So I was able to secure the farmers' immediate salary.... but the gems I can't sell remain with me forever. This gem was too much magic to sell, so it would be perfect for painting.

"Ko, are you going to crush this!? Hey, you want to crush this!?

"Huh? Yeah. I thought it was just right....."

In the cardboard box containing the cookies I bought for Claire's souvenir the other day, there are rough jewels in it. When I took it out, Lyla twitched her face.

"This is such an expensive magic stone... you don't want to paint it."

"No, but even if I try to use it other than paint, I can't use it...."

Yeah. It won't sell anyway, and I'll give you as many better jewels as I can for the Summoner. That's why this is a really useless gem.

"... well, then, Lyla. Is this it?

"Eh? Well, I don't need any jewelry. It doesn't suit me, and it's a bit too expensive for me... or too tall for me..."

... I don't think it suits me. But I know what it feels like to be upset, so I won't say it's impossible.

However, the blue clear jewelry seemed to suit Lyla somehow, so I hid it in a different box. One day, when Lyla gets used to the gems, I'll give them to her.

"Where's Claire?

If it was a jewel, I thought it was Claire, so I took it to Claire.

"... there's a lot of jewellery in there for a huge price, but, well, I guess I'll take it."

That's what Mr Crowe said, smiled and picked up the green jewels. It suits my chest, but it suits me very well.

Yeah, that's right. I would also like to try designing decorations to decorate Mr. Claire. [M] Let's draw it out next time.

... yeah. Hey, I'm feeling better again.

"Well, then, you can crush this."

"... that's right. Yes, but....."

It seems that the blue-drawn lapis lazuli from the lapis lazuli has become a terrible thing, so I will crush it and turn it into a powder.

"Wow... wow... I knew it, but this is an incredible sight! I can't believe you're smashing a gem that could buy a Mansion with just one of these...!

Yeah. Well... I guess so.

... the fragments crushed by Faye's Red Dragon are now powdered with a dairy pot. Rapis Lazuli turned completely into powder. Japanese paint, this time, melts it with water, precipitates it, rinses it a little, and divides the rough details of the particles. The price changes due to the fineness of these grains. I only crushed it a little this time with a milkpot, so I won't do it.

... this is how I finished my magic paint. The first paint made of magic stone powder... that, in addition to my thoughts, I feel like I can draw it.

Huh? Huh... I can draw something weird. I wonder why.

"Uhh, wow... that's no good. This paint is a little too heavy for me to handle."

Next to me drawing a picture of Lapis Lazuli rinsing with powder, Lyla is breathing roughly.... that?

"... eh, you can't paint with this paint?

"Eh, ah, yeah...."

On the other hand, I draw with blue paint. [M] For the first time, magic paintings can be drawn exactly as you want. It's a bit touching.

"... you've improved a lot. Maybe you've been practicing in hiding?

"Hmm...?

... um. I haven't been practicing magic painting much lately. Moreover, even if I did, it was very difficult to lift the powder of charcoal, and I was trying very hard to do something about the paint that would soon go this way.

Yet now, the blue of Lapis Lazuli is treated exactly as it should be. Meanwhile, Lyla doesn't seem to be using this paint well. Much smarter than me, Lyla.

... mmm.

Could it be that the magic painting didn't work so far... because the painting materials didn't suit me?

Then I became obsessed with painting. [M]

Crushing magic stones of various colors... while I was crushing them, I realized that "this won't end at all if I do it on my own", so I drew a "jewel that is crushing and turning into powder from the edge", painted it as a painting, and drew a magical painting.

Then....

"It's done....."

... awesome. A magical painting. A picture just like I imagined would pop out. If you get used to this more easily and can manipulate magic stone paint, you'll be able to draw as many paintings a day...!

"Bye, you're a monster..."

Yeah!

Lyla looks at me like that and pulls her face, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm only addicted to my first magical painting.

Exactly what I thought. Really, exactly what I thought. I'll paint it exactly as I thought!

It's not a brush, but a feeling of painting your own consciousness. The paint moves fluffily as you realize, and it settles there, becoming a painting more and more.

Awesome. Really awesome! It can be described as dropping a watercolor paint on wet paper, or it can draw a thick, opaque line like oil color on it. Dry and wet are free. Paint blurring and seeping is free. Each and every one of the brush marks can be finished as desired! Awesome!

"... I've never seen anyone manipulate a magic stone paint so fine."

"Is that what this is about?

Lyla took a serious look at my work landscape and sighed with admiration.

"Yeah, that's what it is.... it's impossible to keep moving this paint without fixing it."

Then, after asking Lyla in detail, it seems that magic paintings can be finished in a short time.

She put the magic stone paint on the canvas and said it was over. As for the large canvas, they divide it into parts and draw it up over many days.

... like I was doing earlier, I'm free to dry and wet, and I don't usually play around with the entire screen without fixing the paint.

"You have no amount of paint to manipulate at once. I'm absolutely jealous... no, I'm jealous of you!

Lyla says so and looks at me with a slightly soft eye.... maybe you're jealous. Ah, what should I do? I feel a little jealous and itchy. I know it's not good. I know, but... but I'm a little happy.

"I can't believe I can draw a picture of this size with a magic painting... you have so much magic. In addition, the image is very clear, right? This. Yeah, it's like... it's flying too fast, and it's going to erase my jealousy a little bit..."

Uh, I think maybe the painting materials suit me. Since I dropped out of the human race, I have a lot of magic, so I'm better at using magic stone paint.

When I was drawing with charcoal powder, it felt like the powder was scattered and not painted with a little effort. I thought that was because my control was immature, but it could be that my magic and the magic of the painting materials simply matched.

I think this kind of thing is unsuitable for me. This paint is the best paint for me, but it seems too heavy for Lyla. Conversely, the paint Lyla handles is a very difficult paint for me to handle. So, uh... the right material!

Finding the right material for me makes me very happy. [M] I've never seen anything like it!

"Hey, Corn. What are you doing?"

"It's a corner, so I thought I'd draw the gate at this rate!

So I took a set of paintings and quickly headed back to the building in the middle of the forest. All right! Let's try the gate again!

I thought...

"When you stop. You're really blinking, but you look pale."

Lyla grabbed my shoulder and stopped me.

"Laocles! Laocles! Come on, Corn's not working again!

"Okay."

Besides, they called Laocles. And I was hugged lightly.

"Hammock or bed?"

Um... well, please use a hammock...

Even after I was put down by the hammock, I was somehow excited and I didn't feel like sleeping. I mean, it's amazing how you can paint as you want. That's amazing! You can draw anything from now on! If this happens, I really, really mean anything...

... but when I was thinking about that, I started falling asleep. My health hasn't kept up after all. I'm sorry.

But I was so refreshed and excited that I couldn't compare it to a disappointing nap. If I can sleep like this, I'm going to have a good dream.

All right, good night!
