The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

"Faye! Faye! The picturesque cake didn't turn into a cake!

"What!? What!? What are you talking about, you!?

When I went to report to Fay, Fay got confused. Yeah, because he's an otherworlder who doesn't know 'cake' exists.

... so we talked about, well, 'I wasn't particularly aware, but the picture didn't materialize'.

Then Faye... that made me happy.

"Oh! Finally! Good for you!

"Is this such a good thing?

"The point is, you don't have to work hard to put up with the magic leaking! That's a good thing!

... although I'm somewhat embarrassed when they say that.

"Right. Thogo, you're growing fast. I hear I lost control of my magic when I was 3 1/2 years old. Oh, by the way, Faye was leaking until he was 4."

"Ugh, let it go! Even my brother used to freak out and leak magic when he went to try it out with me!

... Um, magic, is that really how you treat it? Something about little kids starting to talk? Is that what you're talking about?

"Hmm. I thought I had some seals for you recently. This needs to be one more stage of sealing. If you're going to grow at this rate, you better have it ready next time."

When even your brother and father get mixed up and praised, yeah, it stinks and it's embarrassing. But maybe, I'm glad.

"Oh well. After you changed the seal, you got better control at once. Was the previous seal bad, after all? That doctor."

"No, I don't, maybe, because I decided to be a painter, I think. So, I feel like I'm starting to control magic better."

I don't think the seal has much to do with it.

... the goal is clear and the desire to work towards that goal is so strong that for that matter, I am in practice, maybe.

"Oh well, that just makes you better... no, it's important that you have a purpose. If you don't think you can do something, magic won't improve."

Faye said that and laughed...... and said it like I had in mind.

"So you, it's time to start thinking about the Summoner. Uh!

Faye tried to get himself on, let his eyes shine, and said.

"If, even without a seal, magic controls work, it's a summons right away! Your subpoena, let's get ready!

... Oh well. Yeah. Summoner.

This is a little... No, wow, I was looking forward to it.

... I poured all that excitement into the portrait of the Redgard family, looking forward to the Summoner.

Somehow, they're kind, and yet lively people. So I wanted to make it a lively painting.

Because it was a transparent watercolor, it was saggy, transparent and cool, and then it seemed a little sunny, and I tried my best to express it that way.

The shadow is thick. The light feels so white that it leaves the color of the paper. The shadows hold down the blue and look like the Redgard family people...... I mean, they look red and make up the whole screen.

On the way, I remembered and got into the Red Dragon as well. The Red Dragon seemed to be happy to be painted together in addition to the portrait, which looked kind of giggly.

... but every one of them is inconspicuous when the person is all red like this.

So the background is a soft hyochrome to green gradient. It's the colors of the woods.

Red and green are the opposite colors, so when you bring a gentle green to the red background, red often stands out. But don't quarrel with the red, the green mixes with the yellow to make it a gentle blurry shade.

The background is only the background, so blurry. Clearly drawn in are only people. Ultimately, I'm going to make the drawing of people stronger and adjust the color flavor......

That's how the portrait of the Redgard family was completed.

"I did it. Me, about 20% more, man, right?

"Right. I am also a man with about 10% more"

"Ha. Then let's just leave it as it is."

"You're so clever, Dad! Declare yourself on your own conscience!

Having seen the painting, they say things with pleasure. By the way, as far as I'm concerned, they're all drawing at a rate of zero percent. But I did my best to remember that moment of the best expression each of us had ever had and to be able to paint it.

... I looked at it again and thought I could paint it with a good look. This is because of them, the models.

You're a close family, at a glance, because they're actually close families. And watching them say a lot in front of the painting, I guess we're close. Yeah. I feel happy watching. Then I'm a little jealous.

"Okay! This is the first thing to remember! That's Togo's first request!

...... yeah. Is this my first job?

I don't really feel like I did my job, but is this what it is? Hmm.

"After the second request... I wonder if it would be better if you had a subpoena."

"No, you don't have to think about that. I practice magic control, and that has nothing to do with the request."

"Really? Then, for now, it's from this reward. Um, what's it like..."

As she waited, wondering what her next request would be, Faye began to care about the reward.

"Um, the reward is nothing, fine. I'm not in trouble for money, and the..."

But as far as I'm concerned, I don't particularly want to get paid. I'm not indifferent to money, and in the first place, I'm sorry for what they say 'I'm going to feed you', so it's something, like this, to get paid apart from that.

"No, you can't, Togo. I knew it, Dad!

"Right. There will be a consideration for the request. That's not only what we do with our homes, it's what we do elsewhere."

...... yeah. I know. That's why I have to do a job that's worth the reward... but I'm not sure yet.

"But, Togo, you won't need much money... Well, let me think about the reward a little bit."

Look at me like that, Faye's father said that with a bitter smile.

Then there, he comes closer as your brother and Faye groan.

"Then Father. I have a good idea."

"Oh, me too! I have a good idea, too!

... That's how the meeting started for parents and children. Yeah. I don't know...

Somehow, really, we're a close family.

"So it's a reward."

Faye, who went to town and came back, gave me... a book,

Two very thick and heavy books. Two diluted books. What is this...?

"You can't read letters, can you? So, open it."

Wondering, open one of the first thick books. Then it was... drawings, was. Of creatures.

"Wow."

"You know what? I'm sure you need that!

Just like the drawings Carnelia showed me, the drawings with all sorts of creatures on them, it seems. Some, there's an appearance of an organism that's not on Carnelia's diagram roll. I think it's a new breed. Just like that, there were some organisms that were on Carnelia's diagram roll but not this way. Well, that depends on the book, doesn't it?

"So, this is a mineral atlas!

And when I opened one more book, there were lots of paintings of gems there. This is amazing too.

"It says something about the Summoner's taste, so it's helpful."

... I just can't read the letters. Yeah, though I'll have Laocles read it to me when I have to.

"And this is my idea."

Then Faye's brother opened me a diluted book.

... even if you don't know the letters, you do.

"Picture book?"

"Oh. I was wondering if it would be good for you to study letters"

Oh...... well.

If I can't read the letters, should I study!

That day, I took time off the Redgard family and started studying quickly in the woods.

"... of the forest, the Spirit, blossomed,... fit?

"Oh."

"Fruit trees, now I don't miss them.... Fit?

"It fits.... That was a long time ago until I could read it."

"Not yet, because I just memorized it"

I asked Laocles to become a teacher and even learned the letters.

First, let me read the picture book and memorize the contents.

Then, let it correspond with the letters and remember. (Fortunately, the basic characters in this world were epitomic characters!

Later, read the picture book yourself, remembering the contents, and ask Laocles to see if the letters and sounds fit. Furthermore, instead of content this time, the letters and sounds will be matched.

... Now I think I can read the basic letters for now.

It's just that boulders are different worlds, or... there's no "cloudy" or "semi-crowdy" in my world, and each one has a different letter, or something like "little when" is another letter... yeah, if they say it's strange that Japanese stands for "one," it is.

"Hey, I want something wrong. If you give me something, a word, just the letters in this picture book, I'll read it."

"Okay."

Then ask Laocles to come up with a problem. Laocles got a little lost and then... on the paper, he wrote some words and put them out.

"Uh, 'Tori'." Sora "." Ho Ho ""

"Oh."

"... 'How about'." Hibbana "." Rappa. ""

"Fits"

"Uh... 'Togo'! 'Huh'!......" La Giusu "!

"All questions are correct. You don't seem to have any particular problems. Big deal."

All right. In the meantime, I've managed to understand this letter. Well, all you have to do is learn the shape and sound of the letters, so it's not that hard. It's a lot easier than remembering English words, for example, because you have to remember spelling, pronunciation and meaning.

"La Giusu, huh? I have to be able to write."

From now on, when signing something, Raocles doesn't necessarily have anything to do with it. We need to remember soon.

"Before my name, you can write your own name."

I heard Laocles say yes, like he was scared... and then, uh, I thought.

"... Speaking of which, should I change the way you call me"

"What's the matter, suddenly"

I thought... you see, he, he had a real name.

Mr. Interlia referred to Laocles as' Ed '. Before I was here, you cared about me or called me' you 'or something.

...... Barclaedo Oriens. That's apparently Laocles' real name, apparently.

Then I feel like I should change it so I can call it that way. [M]

"... you mean my name"

"Yeah."

Then Laocles looked a little frightened.

"Then I'm Laocles. You must be the one who made that decision."

"But you are Mr. Barclaedo Oriens."

I remember him properly, and when I called him that with the insistence, he looked a little itchy, like that.

"I threw away my name. That's why I'm Laocles. That's not what you care about."

...... hmm. That being said, he is Mr 'Balkraed Oriens', so speaking while Interlia calls him that, he doesn't seem to dislike it, he looks nostalgic, happy, that's the way he looks...

"Uh... well, nickname. Let's do that."

So I decided to let you fold here. [M]

"Mr. Barclaedo Oriens. Your nickname is Laocles. So, I call you by this nickname with affection, respect and admiration. Okay?"

"... well, I don't mind."

Yeah. Then let me make that happen.

He's, after all, 'Laocles' to me, but it doesn't have to be to the rest of us.

So this is a nickname. If you decide in yourself that way, I feel like I have to apologize. I'm sure.

"... by the way, I know how familiar you are, but what the hell is your respect and admiration for?"

"Physical beauty"

It's laocles because it's hercules in laocones. In other words, "honor and physical beauty".

... corner, so I wrote 'nibble' on the paper.

"Dude, this is the Kurutaishi."

... yet, it's a little hard to write.

Then for a while, I continued to study letters.

But it's getting late at night, so we're gonna cut to work.

"If we work hard tomorrow, I wonder if we can handle reading and writing. But there's also a symbol."

"Ideographic characters...... oh, characters that represent meaning. Right. Magic and contracts are often written in their letters"

Oh, well. Well, we have to work hard.

... just.

I was studying letters, and, uh... I was curious.

"Um, Laocles"

"What?"

"It sounds weird, but... am I speaking properly?

I couldn't read the letters.

But I've never had a problem with a conversation before.

... What does this mean?
