The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

Then it's a dragon after all! Speaking of treasure trove keepers, it's a dragon!

"Hmm... the Red Gard family will be a dragon-hearted house."

Even so, the Red Dragon has arrived and the Red Gard family is in a lot of trouble, so I wonder if we can add more dragons to the site.

"Well, that's it now! You'd better get through the house full of dragons!

Really? That's what it is. Well then, the dragon also has to be considered...

Then I went back to the forest and opened the atlas. [M]

"What are you looking for?

"Uh, a new Summoner. I need you to secure the gallery. Fei recommended a dragon..."

In reply to Laocles, who peeked from the side, Laocles nodded... and said as if he had thought of it.

"Why don't you leave it to the fairies? That's all there is. I'll be able to watch them in turn."

... to fairies? No, but can I leave it to such a small, sparkling creature to guard? Let's check it out, fairy.

"Ah, I'm seeing something."

"... are you watching fairy?

The Celeste brothers and sisters who came there peeked into the picture book from the side. I was just looking at the fairy page and Ange's face shined. She seems to be friendly with fairies.

"Yeah, I was wondering if I could ask the fairies to guard the gallery."

I'm a little worried. Because it's about fairies, you're going to listen to everything I ask you, and you're going to be poor if you make it impossible...

And I thought,

"Ah... isn't that right? I'll give them a good shot."

... are you sure you want to do it?

"If you gather a few, you can easily reach as many as two people. The point is, you're gonna catch thieves or something, right? Then I think they can do it."

... can you do it? I see.

"Just... if you could, that gallery? I want you to plant flowers around me. They love flowers."

Oh, flowers. Yeah. That's enough to keep me alive. It's okay! It's okay!

Well then, let's ask the fairy a favor. They seem to work hard for me, and I'm so relieved to be here..... "

"Um..."

Ange grabbed the hem of my clothes aggressively when I was about to go where the fairy was.

"... you know, I think Trent is good."

... apparently, I have a recommended watch.

That opened my gallery. [M]

"... at first glance, it's unmanned."

"Yeah."

The resulting gallery turned into a slightly old-fashioned building with roses tangled in the walls of Ivory.

Flowers are blooming around the building and many trees are growing. Especially next to the entrance to the building, there are two large trees standing like gates.

"Thank you, security."

But when I called... the trees around the gallery shook the branches at once. Some trees use roots well and step on the spot.

... yeah. They're Trent. A moving, willful tree.

All the trees around the gallery are torrents. Wall roses are also trent. I'm asking them to catch the thief as soon as possible.

They didn't become Summoners in Trent. Well, it's planted on the ground.

Instead, Trent, who was paid, decided to listen to me. [M]

Trent's salary is magic. Specifically, springs and gems.

I painted the spring new. [M] So, a little away from the gallery, there is spring water coming out.... Trent and the others loved this fountain. After all, I was wondering if I liked water because it was a plant, and it seemed like my magic was melting into the spring, so I was happy about it.

I thought that if I wanted magic, I would be happy with the jewelry, so I tried out the jewelry, and it was popular. All Treants are putting gems in the woods. Instead of becoming a Summoner, they hold gems like this. I see.

"Ah, there are fairies, too?

"Yeah, it looks like it's strained."

And there are fairies. Trent and I seem to be close, playing with the branches, leaves and flowers of Trent while flying around the gallery. They're guards, too. Of course, I was told to take turns, so I think it's probably okay.

As a salary to the fairies, I gave them flowers from flower fields and jewellery.

He liked it when he turned the back of the gallery into a flower field, and the jeweled flowers quickly became his favorites.

I prepared one jeweler flower per fairy. When they gave it to each fairy, they took it back to their place of residence, exchanged it with their favorite fairies, put it together as a bouquet of jewellery and decorated it like a gathering place, and started enjoying it a lot. Above all, if you like it.

... and then allowed me to live in the bamboo. Uh, they're drilling a hole in one of the bamboo knuckles and sneaking into it to sleep. I was wondering if it would be okay to live in a living bamboo, but there are fairies and boulders. I don't know about it, but it seems to be doing well. I don't seem to be dissatisfied with bamboo either.

... and enter the gallery through the gallery where Trent and the fairies wait, and there is a normal building. There is a little hallway at first, and when you enter the room from the hallway, it is a big room. There's a painting on the wall... well, it's a regular gallery. There's a fairy inside, so it's sparkling.

"Hey, Corn, are you sure this is it? It says," If you want to take the painting home, put the money in here and go home "...."

"Yeah."

And there is a cage and a sticker at the entrance of the room. The contents of the sticker are as Faye said.

"... are you sure you're okay?

"Yeah, I'm fine. I asked Trent to block the entrance and exit when the painting came off the wall."

If anyone leaves without paying, Trent will block the entrance and exit so they won't be able to leave. The entrance will not open unless you leave the painting behind or leave the money behind.

"Um, who's going to steal the money here?

"The fairies are watching. So the fairy tells Trent to block the entrance."

And then, if a child like Lian or Ange comes and tries to take a little money... then it's up to you to miss it, depending on your fairy mood. Yeah. Well, it depends on how fairy you feel.

"In the meantime, you're solid enough to look unmanned."

"Yeah."

Trent seems to be a lazy man, so long security won't be hard, and I don't think it's a problem because fairies will come in to support him. If someone tried so hard to suppress them by force, the story would change again, but no one would bring an army to steal the painting.

"... but this looks deserted after all."

"Claire said, 'If there are some stupid thieves who think they're unattended and look at them in pain, that's just the way to deter the other thieves.'"

"Ah, that's how it's done..."

I'm sure that's what Mr. Claire said.

Well, if that's the case...

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it."

The point is, if you're a good person, you're nothing but an unattended gallery. Just peek and have fun. I would be glad if someone would buy it.

I wrote a letter about the gallery opening and invited the people who gave me the purchase order to the gallery.

I will look at it and buy it if there is anything I like. If there is nothing I like about it and you want to order it, I will accept it again.

... I was in the gallery the first day of the opening. Then various people came in and enjoyed looking at the pictures, and some of them bought them.

A little girl comes along with someone who looks like a parent, grabs the change, looks around at the picture, and takes a careful look at it and decides: "Please! I was really happy when you came to say, 'And a little embarrassed.

... but after all, the customer wondered about this gallery.

It seems strange that there are no guards, or that the money is just put in the cage.

"It's an unusual format. There are no guards, no guides... aren't they usually open galleries?

One of the customers asked me a little worried.

"No, it's always open."

Ah, so the guards will come at that time?

"No, the guards are already there."

Customers take a good look around, then take a good look around. But fairies hide quickly, and Treants are completely just pretending to be trees, so we can't find them.

"... are you there?

"Yes, but only people who try to steal pictures or do terrible things here know."

When I said so, the customer leaned his neck, picked a picture, paid for it and left. [M] Yeah, I don't know.

... and then a little bit later, a request came in again.

The number of requests decreased considerably from the time they first arrived, and it was about 8. Thanks to this, I was able to afford a lot of space, and I'm glad the people from the Redgards came to peek at me.

Incidentally, the thief opened the gallery in about two cases in a week, but after that, it was empty.

"If you do something bad in that gallery, you'll get worse eyes", "There are monsters in that gallery", "That gallery is definitely a Spirit's favorite, and if you do something bad, the Spirit will punish you", and so on.

Then there was the money thief, not the painting thief.

As a matter of fact, it seems that a less wealthy child came in in the evening and tried to collect money.

But the kid tried to take all the money that was in the cage at that time... but before he got to the exit, he felt guilty and eventually put all the money he was trying to steal back into the cage.

So, after circling the gallery and looking at the painting, he eventually left without stealing anything, and the fairies who were looking at it decided to deliberate and give him a silver coin.

Ange told me there was such a report, so I decided to prepare silver coins and candy for the gallery.

... it seems that candy is kept in a pocket when a child comes to the gallery. The fairies liked to play such a prank and were pleased with my suggestion. [M]

Thanks to this, three weeks after the opening of the gallery, rumours began to emerge that "when a child entered, he was somehow given candy", "that gallery still had spirits attached to it", "Maybe it was the work of a fairy", and the number of children increased.

... a little fun.

Regardless of the candy, I was glad to open the gallery. Not only do I buy pictures, but I'm kind of happy that people can see them.... no, this kind of thinking may not be good. It may be shallow to show off what I have drawn, or it may be greedy. Yeah. Thinking so, I feel guilty about opening a gallery...

Pretend not to see guilt. Draw a client picture.

There was one request for an oil painting, so I decided to proceed with it mainly.

Oil paintings take time. It takes time for the paint to dry.

Besides, painting materials are more complicated than watercolour. And I'm not sure I fully understand them. [M] In the meantime, I bought a set of oil painting tools in King's Landing and use them...

... I wonder if there is any oil that dries quickly and becomes a glossy surface. I think I'll look for it next time. But for now, I'm going to paint a picture of the forest with oil for my client.

I'm unfamiliar with oil painting, and sometimes I can't imagine it, but I'm getting used to it gradually while I'm drawing it, and I'm getting so good that I know it myself...

... yeah. Fun.

So one day, I was working on a request.

"Hey, Corn!

Fei is here again. Riding a red dragon means...

"Oh, my God! Look at this!"

That's what Faye showed me. It's paper. The purchase order... doesn't look like it.

"A letter?

The letter in the envelope seems to have been received. The white envelope is luxurious with gold leaf and foil pressing. The seal pressed on the seal wax is a fine crest, somehow... I think it might cost money.

"... from where?"

When I look at the sender's name, I only know that he is someone I don't know. I don't know who this guy is.

"Ah, I see, you don't know..."

Looking at me like that, Fay was scratching his head... telling me.

"It's a nobleman with the next biggest territory in King's Land around here."

... eh.

Take a look inside.

I open the envelope wondering what such a great man is up to. [M]

The letter began with a normal greeting. Like, "It's getting cold."

Then there was a story that looked at my painting and liked it. [M] It was like, "I heard about it recently with a topical painter and I liked it at a glance." It's very concise.

Afterwards, I was invited to come to our territory and play a painter. Frankly, 'Why don't you quit the Red Gard family and work for us?'

... I'm in trouble...
