The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

The next day. Sleep and wake up, have breakfast.

They asked me about my progress at the breakfast table, so when I asked, 'Phoenix is better than Alicorn, right?' I was nodded with a full grin. Yeah. So it's Phoenix in the hands of the Georen family. Decisions.

And back in the basement, the first thing I drew was a jewel.

...... yeah. Neither Alicorn nor Phoenix painted a gem that would be their residence. That way first.

The teacher said. 'Look, Togo. You should be ready to do it first. Especially if you have to make a space or something first'. By the way, the teacher was buying a bookshelf then cleaning up the room and making space for the bookshelf.

Then the teacher said, 'Look at the thief, then cross the rope, then you can't convey the sense of crisis. If you want to convey this sense of crisis to future generations, you should buy a bookshelf and then clean up the room... no, you should tell me to build a toilet after nagging ". Yeah, even if we leave the toilet story behind, we have to start things off after we make the' stuff 'and' space 'properly.

For Laocles' alicorn, pale golden stones were drawn. The colour of thunder. The color of light, I mean.

... Hey, I got lost in purple. So much so that there is the word 'violet electricity', and I wondered if thunder carrying creatures would be better colored like that.

But I thought it would look good on Laocles, so I made it golden. It's a golden, clear stone.

Then I drew an orange stone for Phoenix. A guy of color like Carnelia's eyes. Sweet stewed golden citrus, honey-picked oranges, that kind of thing.

... a little lost, but the jewels for Phoenix came out with the pendant processed. If I didn't do this, I didn't feel like I had an excuse to keep it as a gift for Carnelia.

of but...... no, let's not. Don't think calmly. It must be so expensive for a 9-year-old girl. Stop thinking about the absolute necessity of giving her accessories.

"Togo! Can I come in?

"Go ahead."

Carnelia came in when I started drawing under Alicorn.

... and she makes her face shine when she looks at the bottom drawing.

"Wow! That's an alicorn!

"Yeah."

"Wasn't Towgo the summoner? Are you a painter?

"It's both, and it's neither."

Carnelia was staring at the alicorn I was portraying, leaking a voice she wasn't sure if she knew, um...

"... oh? What about this one? Why are you putting paper on the water?

Then I look at the painting paper for Phoenix, which is watertight, and tilt my neck.

"Uh... soak it in water and stick a sprinkled piece of paper on the board. If you dry it, it will be difficult to distort or twist the paper even if you apply watercolor paint later."

"Oh...... ok! I used to play color water with flowers in your garden! But when I applied it to the paper, the paper became wrinkly."

Yeah. I know. I know. Especially when you apply water to a piece of paper that's not watercolor paper, there's no way to distort it.

When I was in elementary school, I painted with watercolor paint on a piece of paper that wasn't for watercolor... but now I think that was very, very hard to do.

"Wow. This is how you paint."

"Yeah."

To her, the working landscape of the watercolor seems to be fresh. Whether it's glittering eyes or not, this leaks a sigh of admiration.

"... oh? But where did you get this tool out of? I don't think we had anything like this."

"Yeah. I brought it."

"But it wasn't yesterday, was it?

"I was putting him under the bed."

"... were you hiding it?

"... yeah"

I was wondering if it was a bad idea, but I was watching Carnelia... eventually, she said, giggling.

"Then you keep this to yourself! All right. Me, Santos, to your brother and your father, I'll keep this to myself!

Oh, apparently, he's fine. I'm a little relieved.

"It's okay. Those two don't like fun. So when you want to do something fun, you should keep it between your father, your brother Santos, and, if possible, your wife. I always do."

"Oh well."

"Yes! So keep it to yourself, Togo, and that I have the drawings! I brought this out of the warehouse, and I didn't give it back!

"Yeah. Keep it to yourself"

Carnelia nodded happily a few times... then, uh, closed her eyes to the pendant she left on her desk.

"Oh? Could this be a secret one, too?

"Uh..."

I held my hand and took the pendant. [M]

Then compare the orange gems to Carnelia's eyes....... yeah. Same color.

I checked that and then offered the pendant to Carnelia.

"This is yours."

"... Huh? Will you?"

"Yeah."

"But such a big stone... I wonder"

"Yeah. Maybe, 'cause I think I'm gonna need it"

When I said that, Carnelia looked a little strange.

"With this much stone, I guess we can catch Phoenix even if he comes"

... but when I said so, she brightened her expression and nodded.

"Right! If Phoenix came to see me, he wouldn't be a subpoena without a demon stone!

I don't know how she took it. You might have thought it was like an extension of a fantasy, a deception. Even for a pendant, I might have thought it was a faux stone or something.

... but when I hung her pendant around Carnelia's neck, she had a full grin.

"Thanks! I'll take care of it!

"Yeah."

Suitable? I saw Carnelia whirling around on the spot asking, oh sure, this kid would look great sleeping in a Phoenix futon, I thought.

... or sleeping in a Phoenix 'and' futon.

After Carnelia chatted and left, I proceeded to paint.

I don't have much time, so I'm going to add color to the painting paper for those who have been watered down and haven't yet dried it out.

Undried paint paper seeps heavily as you put the thinly melted paint on it. If I left some colors that way, the twitching colors seeped in and the entire drawing paper tinted.

"You changed the way you draw"

"I don't seem to have much time, so I thought I'd do the basement with the water retention. Then I felt more like Phoenix over here."

If you're an alicorn, you don't apply it this way. Along the bottom drawing from the beginning, I'm putting the colors on. Alicorn is a Laocles horse, so I'd rather give her a puree than a fluffy kanji. So this way of applying it.

And the Phoenix one, before the bottom drawing, blurred the underlying color onto it. I'm going to layer more colors on this... but I think it would be better if this kind of texture looked more Phoenix-like. Look, if you're going to futon, I think fluffy Phoenix is better than crispy Phoenix.

"Can you draw up two sheets?"

"Yeah. It's okay. Originally, there was a long wait for the paint to dry. If we draw two sheets at the same time, we can proceed with each other's work on each other's waiting times"

I finish my Phoenix undercoat and move on to Alicorn again. This one is already dry, so let's paint it again. If you're an alicorn, you need to be careful there because you want to produce a shiny kanji with hyenas and tails.

Then, Alicorn's body. I made this more disappointing than a normal horse. Because it's a horse that rides Laocles. If I were to put a chunk of muscle on it, I knew it would be a chunk of muscle. Yeah.

"... well, that sounds fun and above all"

"Yeah."

After all, painting is fun.

And I'm glad you can say, 'Sounds fun and above all'.

Lunch that day declined. When I also tried to resign from dinner, I was to be transported to the basement for dinner on a boulder.

So I rushed to hide a set of paintings under my bed. Yeah, it was dangerous.

"It's dinner."

... No, but I might not have had to hide it.

The person who came to carry dinner, Mr. Interlia Bersch... was a former colleague of Laocles, because he was.

"Interlea. Well... it's been a while."

Laocles was all over the place, and yes, I spoke up. Then Mr. Interlia puts the basin on his desk where dinner is riding, still looking like nothing else, and then turns back to Laocles.

"... was it a breath disaster"

"Oh. This one's doing fine. Barclaedo. And you?

"Well, somehow. Only recently, I've lived a good life."

... I'll just get away from them. Somehow, I felt like I shouldn't be in between them.

"You found a new Lord."

But Mr. Interlia looks at me and smiles, so I bow down a little.

"Oh, the Lord, who is afloat and blurred and about to fly somewhere soon with the fluff"

"Let's be told scattered..."

But I can't argue with that. Yeah. I don't think he's fuzzy, but he's blurry. Yeah. Sorry.

Then Laocles had a little talk with Mr. Interlia.

... really, it was an unusual chat, a degree of talk. Well, we can't afford to talk about the old days here, can we? Yeah.

But even then, they both looked kind of fun. So good for you, I guess.

... but watching those two suddenly Mr. Interlia turned to me.

"… I would like to ask your summoner, Togo"

When they say Master Summoner Togo, it's very uncomfortable, but now let's shut up.

"Why did you include me in the reward?

... Apparently she brought dinner so far to hear this.

"Rao... uh, he'll be worried. Then, as long as you belong to the Georen family, I will continue to be threatened. Then I thought I'd never be able to cut my hands off with the Georens."

This was answered immediately. I tried to snort it at Laocles' name for a second, but it's okay.

"... you? Barclaedo Oriens, isn't it?

"Yeah. Above all, I didn't like it"

I hated the irrevocable. There are a lot of things you can do until you get hurt. But if he dies, there's nothing I can do. I don't feel like drawing can bring people back to life.

That's why I wanted to prioritize this man's life. Even if I get hurt somewhat, fine. [M] Whatever, even if Laocles gets hurt somewhat, I think he'll forgive me. I also think that worrying about Faye and the others at last is better than people dying.

… I know that even if the person was trying to die convinced, or wanted to die, there is something that would change by avoiding it.

... explaining such a thing, Mr. Interlia tilted his neck.

"... I don't know. I still think you should have cut me off over there. For you."

Oh, shit. Well, there are things that I don't understand when I explain. Yeah. Nor do I understand that 'samurai is death and finding'... and I know that there is no way my values match those of everyone else.

"But... right. He's the one who admitted to being the Lord, I suppose. … although it is never smarter to pay more attention to subordination than it is to itself or to give up on different things"

"He told me he wasn't smart."

When I said that, Mr. Interlia looked at Laocles and then laughed at Couscous.

"Right. I guess so."

"... well, Lord as you can see"

Laocles laughed a little, too, and then... told Mr. Interlia,

"You... well, you found the second Lord."

Then Mr. Interlia nodded happily.

"Oh, Lord Carnelia is my lord now, just as your togo is my lord now"

"Master Carnelia keeps interrupting us, don't you?

"Huh? Did you notice?"

"Dear Carnelia, I don't think you've noticed. It would be too incompetent as an escort not to notice the escape of a 9-year-old girl on a boulder."

That's right. Yeah.

"... and it's been a long time. What makes Master Carnelia seem so entertaining? I've been blocked ever since you decided to get engaged."

That's what Mr. Interlia said, smiling a little lonely.... Interlia also has some thoughts about Carnelia's marriage.

"I thank you for entertaining my Lord. All I want is for my young master to be happy."

And Mr. Interlia... stared at me with beautiful amber eyes and made it clear.

"So... now for the record, please, I want you to stop interacting with me as a reward. I want to be beside Master Carnelia."

"I know what's going on there. If I were in the Geolene family, the Geolene family could be the material to interfere with you. But I'll take care of that here. I'm going to look for other powers and present them so the Georens don't put your power on them."

Mr Interlia says that desperately. As I listened to it, I remembered, 'Speaking of which, I decided to get Mr. Interalia as a reward, but I didn't think about what happened after I got him'.

"So, please, I want you to keep me as Master Carnelia's escort. For that one...... for that one, you have too few allies!

… complete the process. If we get Mr. Interlia, will Carnelia be alone? Mr Interlia is worried about that.

"My current fiancée is also a 30-year-old bastard. And even if Santos were truly shot in the heart of the princess, there would come to Carnelia an edge of a more important position, which would only be used as a material for that marriage.... It's unlikely that a new fiancée will be on her side indefinitely. So..."

But then I'll be fine.

"Um, me, I was going to let you go when I got your figure... but if you want, why don't I just keep escorting Carnelia?"

"Huh?"

"Whatever you are, if you are not in a position to be forced to ask. I think you can be hired, not as a slave."

Nothing, I don't want Mr. Interalia. If Mr. Interlia doesn't belong to the Giolen family, you can say whatever you want. It's just that if she's safe, so be it.

If Carnelia and Mr. Interlia can get into a good situation at the same time, that's better.

"If you want to be beside Carnelia, do so. Maybe Carnelia would like that, too. So, if she, if she has to run away from home in earnest, help me with that.... What do you say?

"... runaway"

When I expressed my hope, Mr. Interlia said, "No."

"Yes."

"Well... even if Master Carnelia is going to run away, can I follow it if I'm not a slave"

That's what Mr. Interlia said, and then he sat up like he was out of power.

"... Ha. I feel weird. I always thought I had to stay in this house to protect Master Carnelia. Me and Master Carnelia, if I hadn't been here the whole time, And at least try to be happy for a limited number of days... but it's all over again."

Mr. Interlia didn't have any idea of a 'runaway'. Well, you don't normally...

"Right. I was the only one tied up. Was I the shackle of Carnelia?"

That's what Mr. Interlia said, making him look a little sunny.

"Then... please, I want you to take me as a reward. And on top of that, if I could just let you stay with Master Carnelia... no, it's too good a story for bugs."

"No, I'd rather be happy, too, Carnelia."

I'm fine if the Georens don't come any further, and if one girl and one knight are going to help at the end of the day, I think it would be a great pleasure.

"Right...... thank you so much. Be sure to thank me. What would you like? You don't seem to need a lot of money, but..."

"Thank you? Then please model!

Thank you, I immediately decided. [M]

"... model?

"Yes. If you and Carnelia run away safely, come as far as the Redgard Forest. I want to paint you there!

Therefore, I also received recognition for "thank you". Yay. Now I can paint a knight and a lady in armor. I think it's a picturesque combination, so I wanted to let you draw it once.

Or maybe a painting by Laocles and Mr. Interlia. If there were two knights, that would be a painting. I'm so excited.

... It just seems that this' thank you 'was medium unexpected for Mr. Interlia. They laughed a lot. Then he said to Laocles,' I'm sure he's a fuzzy Jen! 'He said. I guess I'm fuzzy...

And the next day.

Both Alicorn's painting and Phoenix's painting only left a finish.

... and I decided to call the Georens in the basement.

I called it the lord's man, and Mr. Santos. And then, Carnelia and Interlia.

"... why, Carnelia too?

"Because the summons was in front of the people of the Geolen family. She's from the Georen family, too, isn't she?

"Well... yes"

Both the lord and Santos looked puzzled by Carnelia's presence. Finally, he might have looked unpleasant.

But that's okay. Carnelia belongs to the Geolene family, too. Admitted so. That's it. I won't let you complain.

"Okay, I'll get Phoenix out, so please wait a little longer"

And I, as they watch me... enter the hanging tabernacle.

"What the hell is that?"

"Because I don't want to be seen putting it out"

On the inside of the tabernacle, there is a painting to be drawn, as a matter of course.... Maybe the Georens don't know how I'm putting out the creature, so I decided to let them keep the subpoena landscape to themselves. By doing so, I can also keep it to myself to serve alicorn after this.

"Well, I don't mind that...... I guess you can really summon me?

"Yes."

I replied and went right into the curtain.

And with the paint I had prepared there, I'm going to finish it last.

... and.

The song sounds.

Anywhere in this world, I can't hear a song anymore... it's a phoenix twist.

It was like celebrating the birth of life, like rejoicing in the dawn of the world.

And, uh, the fire lights up.

An orange fire, like the brightness of the immortal bird's life itself. The light was still strong and warm through the curtain, and it seems to have reached their eyes.

"Oh......!

"Great, this is Phoenix's......!

While I hear Mr. Santos and the lord cheering, I...

... I held Phoenix with one arm and went outside the curtain.

Yeah. About the size of a chicken, Phoenix's...... have a hiyoko.

Pi, and as Phoenix rang, the basement was quiet.
