Episode 21: The Charm of Forest Color

"Okay, I'm just..."

"Change... uhh!? Corn!? What's wrong!?

I was taken home by the birds. [M] Fay, who seemed to have noticed the bird's feathers, came out of the house and looked at me and hurried to retrieve me from the bird.

"Wow, it's hot! Hey, Laocles! Hey, the corn is burning! Uh, let's get you to bed!

"What, did you eat something weird again?"

Uh, am I getting a fever? Um... ah, no, I'm trying to think of something, and there's a forest in my head. The forest...

"Hey, bird! Corn, what did you feed him?

Laocles and Crowe both came out of the house and suspected that the bird had fed me something. [M] Yeah, uh, I ate it, but it's been quite a while since I ate it, and the birds are decent, and now it's not the end of the line...

Then I was taken to my room, where I slept in bed.

And the diagnosis of Faye...

"This is a wisdom fever!

... not much!

... and then I was taken to bed in my room, where I was treated for intellect fever.

"I'm sorry. I wish I could use the magic of ice...."

"Yeah, it's funny. Thank you."

First of all, Mr Crowe gave me a breeze. Apparently, Mr. Crowe can use not only fascinating magic, but also breezy magic. Wow. As for Claire, he wanted to make an ice pillow or something, but it feels good enough.

"For now, it's water and fruit. You don't have to eat or drink."

"Yeah, I got it."

Then I had Laocles prepare a meal for me. Because my body is hot and I don't have an appetite, it's just water and fruit.

... when I thought about it, I lived on mysterious and delicious tree nuts all the time while I was in the bird's nest, but how did that work? I wonder if my body is weak. I don't have much consciousness.

Maybe I lost my appetite because I became a spiritual? Uh-huh... no, I still don't know my own body.

"All right, then, stay as close as you can with Laocles and Claire and me." I'm sorry. "

... then Claire sat on the edge of the bed and grabbed my hand, Laocles sat tight in the chair by the bed, and Fay stroked my head.

"Eh? What is this...?

"Dealing with wisdom fever?"

... maybe the wisdom in this world is hot, and what's different from the wisdom heat I know?

"Look, the point is, if magic suddenly increases, if magic suddenly comes out or pulls in, if you use magic severely, or if you suddenly learn new magic and the magic in your body hangs out, you get a heat of wisdom."

I don't know what that is. That's not the wisdom fever I know.

"So, I hope there are creatures that are less magical than themselves in times of intellect fever. It will heal as soon as someone sucks up the magic."

"Ah, that's right...."

In other words, the horses stopped by when I ran out of magic. I see. That's why I'm in the house, not outside the hammock this time.

"Usually, younger brothers and neighboring little ones stay with me. Compared to the spirits, our human magic is too low, so it must be just like a little one! I had less magic than my old opponent."

"I'm not so good at magic either. Well, you'll be able to smoke the overflow."

"Fufu, it's often said that when you go to your neighbor's older brother or sister, you can grow up faster. The point is, I think you can share the magic.... what should I do when I grow up?"

Yeah, that's right. After all, I think this world is different from mine.

"Sleep well afterwards and refine your body's magic. Huh?"

"Yeah."

But in any world, sleep is the first way to recover. Mm-hmm.

"Then when it gets a little better, use some simple magic to consume magic."

"I mean, should I draw it?"

Okay. Let's take a nap and draw something out.

"I see. And when I get a little better, I'll use my magic with a little big guy....."

I mean, you can draw it.

All right. Let's draw something bigger.

Now, I wonder what to draw... while Fay smiled and stroked my head again.

"... alright! This is the best treatment for you! Draw as much as you can!"

"Wow."

"But only after you get some sleep!

Yeah, I know.

I can draw when I'm asleep. I can draw when I'm asleep. Then let's go to bed. All right, good night.

Fei said as she dived into the blanket to try to sleep.

"... hey, you're turning into a spirit, and I wonder what's changed, like this... it's getting more fluffy"

... if the change that happened when I became a spiritual person is "fluffy", I don't like it.

When I woke up, the confusion in my head was somewhat calm.

Yeah. I still feel like a forest in my head, and I still get used to it a lot, but I guess I'm getting used to it.

... it seems that I have come to understand this forest to some extent.

Where are they now? How's the boundaries? That's what I'm saying.

Around this house where I live now, around the bird's nest, around the ruins, or where I first came to this forest, is the center of this forest. There are few ordinary creatures in the center of the forest. All the magical creatures are here.... that is, spiritual birds, horses with wings and horns.

If you go a little outside, there will be more flower fields and more other creatures. Deer, fox, squirrel. Looks like there are people like that.... it seems that this forest is partitioned somewhat like this.

But this kind of thing suddenly appeared in my head, or my head was connected to the forest, or something like that, so... well, it feels like it takes me a long time to get used to it.

In the meantime, I decided to paint quickly, as recommended by Faye.

First of all... I'm a little curious, so I'm going to draw a jewelry.

"Oh, it's beautiful."

"Yeah, I thought it looked like Claire. This is Laocles. This is Faye."

"... that's such a dictatorial complaint."

The gems I draw are like them. [M]

Draw from one end while looking at the jewelry diagram. I draw big and small, and I draw different shapes. As it gradually materialized from the edge of the drawing, the top of the bed was covered with gems. Well, this is fun. After all, drawing works wisdom and heat. When I put it into practice, my condition gradually improved.

"Still, why is it a jewel? Is this a gift for Mr. Crowe?

"Ah, that's fine. Yeah, I'll take it with me if I need it."

"... I'm a little scared because I'm too generous."

I see. Then let's not.

"Look, if I draw the jewelry, I think I can understand my magic right now with the condition of the jewelry I made."

When I explained why I was drawing the jewels, Fay nodded... and then picked up one of the freshly made fluorescent stones and looked at it.

"I don't know if I can be that good, but come on."

"Yeah."

... Faye said after a while of silence.

"If you sell this bad, it's gonna be war."

... uhh, yeah.

Suddenly the magic increased, so I thought the control might not work well, but was it good to practice control there once? After a little practice, I could draw a "mochi no mochi painting", and I could also put out a "jewelry that would not be a war even if sold". Yeah, good.

... maybe that bird was waiting for me to be able to control some magic.

It seems that my magic has definitely increased, considering the condition of the jewels I put out without thinking about anything, and my feelings when I made them into reality. I think it is because I became a spirit, and I think it is also related to the nuts of that terrible taste that the bird ate.

Well, I mean... if I couldn't control the magic in my current state, it might have been a bit hard. Mm-hmm.

For about two days after that, I even painted something on the bed.

I made a mochi, ate it, served barley tea, drank it, painted it, and put it out because I thought it would be convenient to have a desk that could be used on the bed...

... while I was doing that, I was feeling totally better, my head was getting clearer, and I was feeling better, so I... decided to build a house.

"Mr. Crowe. I have something important to tell you."

"Yeah, yeah. What's the matter with you?

So I decided to talk to Mr. Crowe too. Maybe we can talk now. They say the woods are going to be fine.

"I'm drawing something."

"... eh?

However, it is a little difficult to tell.

"That's right. What I drew in the painting becomes a reality....."

Crowe was confused, but he was convinced when he drew a jewel in front of him.

Well done. This certainly won't cost you the money to hire me, you. "

"Oh, speaking of which, I'm not paying Mr. Crowe. How much is it?

"I don't need that anymore. I got one of those houses. I have to stay with you for a year."

I see. Then we need to build about 10 more.

... well, let alone that.

"So, I'm going to build a house because there may be sudden customers and more residents."

"Oh, that's nice.... ah, maybe I can help you too?

"Yes, please."

Mr. Crowe seems to have good taste, so I would like your opinion on what kind of upholstery to use.

"... but as for the spirits of the forest, is it okay? They're going to open up this forest."

"Yeah, I'm trying to keep the creatures out of trouble."

It is good that we live in the center of the forest, but I think we should build a few other houses for customers outside the forest and a few near the center of the forest. If there are too many people, I'll think about it at that time...

Then I built a house with the help of Mr. Crowe and Laocles.

Crowe advised me on the interior, and Laocles asked me to fix the land. Here, cut a tree. You want the cut tree to be firewood?... you can erase the tree, but if it's a corner, I'd like to use it properly.

So for now... I tried to build a house.

"I built it...."

When I built it, I built it. The house. The whole house.... the magic has not expired. It's okay. It's built.

"... well done. This is how my house was built."

"No, Mr. Crowe's house was split into foundations, pillars, walls and roofs. But this time, I felt like I could sort of cum, so I did the whole house."

"Hey, all of a sudden, is it okay to open one house?"

"Yeah, I think it's okay."

In the meantime, it turns out that "one house" can now be released without losing its magic power. And even after I left the house, I was feeling a little bit better.

Fine, this is good. Let's paint the next house.

That's how I drew more houses. Specifically, five houses. This is amazing. I grew up all at once. It seemed worthwhile having a forest in my head.

The interior is for tomorrow's work... for now, we can accommodate sudden visitors, and we can accommodate a sudden increase in models. All right.

I decorated the next day.

This is a very pleasant task... As Krah instructed, drawing wallpapers, lighting, and furniture like this over here... makes it a lovely house.

"Wow! Wow! Ah, I've searched all over King's Landing for such a luxurious man, and that's why I won't stay with the royal family!

When I built my house according to Claire's ideals, Claire, it sparkled my eyes with joy. Yeah, I'm glad you're having fun.

"... ah, but Corn. Are you okay? I've been drawing it for a long time."

"Yeah, it looks good."

And when I was decorating, I was able to realize how to increase my magic. As long as you draw, there is no difficulty in materializing. Even if I took out the interior of five houses, I was a little tired, and it was over. Rather, it is not the magic who is tired, but the hand that paints.

... and then I spent a few days drawing, and my magic and wandering head calmed down.

Calm down, calm down... so it seems that I can finally stop and look around for the first time since I became a Spirit.

I became a spirit.

And I took on the role of guarding the forest.

And then, I learned more about the woods, and the magic grew.

... but I'm me.

As the bird taught me, I am no different. [M] The element called "Spirit" just stuck to the "I" that had been there before. Yeah, I'll stay with me.

... that's why, even now that you've become a spirit, what you want to do remains the same.

I want to draw. It doesn't change.

Since becoming a spiritual person, I have drawn jewels and houses, but after that, I think again.

After all, I want to draw. Rather, the more I became a spirit, the more I wanted to draw, the more my vision and senses expanded.

... maybe this will continue to happen. Every time I touch something new, I want to draw more and more.

Maybe that means I'm going to change, or maybe it means eating in vain and filling my heart. Or maybe this is going to grow.

Yeah, that's right. Growth is change. It's scary to change, but it can't stay the same forever. If we only get the same thing all the time, we'll run out of food for our hearts.

Our hearts are eating so much, we feed our hearts so much... that little by little something changes or remains unchanged.

... this could mean that he's alive.

"Laocles, Mr. Crowe. I have a favor to ask you."

I asked the two of you for breakfast. [M]

"When you become a spirit, you'll learn about the woods."

"What a surprise....."

Yeah, well, I probably didn't give you the details.

But it doesn't matter that we can see what's going on in the forest. The only thing that matters is after this.

"I found a beautiful place. Ruins of old ruins, unusual trees, places that open up and become wasteland, places where grass is so thick.... that's where I want to draw your pictures."

Both of them agreed in two replies, so I'll draw their picture quickly. [M]

It's just a boulder, a model. It's really fun to draw. Laocles looks like the knight I wanted to draw from the front. A painting like that, sitting on a strange tree and resting with Alicorn.

Mr. Crowe was wearing a mysterious thin cloth dress at a ruins site and painted the moment he circled around. It feels like a queen of fairy land. Yes, it's a completely different atmosphere than Claire's naked woman painting, but it's also the look of one Claire. Satisfaction.

"... it's fun."

I can't believe I drew two at the same time.

This time, only the bottom drawing and the base are done locally, and the rest are all done indoors. That way, we can draw both Laocles' painting and Claire's painting at the same time... so we can effectively use the time until the watercolor paint dries! Nearly twice as many paintings at the same time!

Thanks to becoming a spirit, you can see the state of the forest with your eyes, so you can reproduce all the colors of the forest. This is convenient.

I put the color of the forest on the painting paper. Draw in the woods. There are many kinds of green in your head... the colors of the forest seep. I'm entirely fascinated by the color. Speaking of which, Crowe's eyes, which use enchanting magic, are also very similar to the color of the forest. Does green have the power to attract people?

With that in mind, I even draw a picture. [M]

... more spirits, more things to do, more things to do. More things to draw, more convenient to draw, and more things to draw after all.

It's fun. Drawing while confirming the power of the spirits that are newly contained in you is similar to the feeling of trying new painting materials. This is so fun and happy.

... yeah. After all, I'm glad I'm a spirit!

"Wow, you've got more!?

Then, one month.

Fai, who hasn't been here for a while, was surprised to see my house. [M]

Anyway, my house is two stories high, and the whole second floor part is where I keep the paintings I've drawn so far.

... yeah. I might have painted too much. But now that you know what's going on in the woods, you know all the creatures and places in the woods... that's all you have to draw.

"Wow, this... hey, can I have one? Decorate my room."

"Yes, go ahead."

Looking at the walls and freshly decorated paintings, Fay brightens his eyes and says, "I don't know what to do."... I'm a little embarrassed and illuminated by the way I painted it. And I'm glad.

"... hey, can I have two? No?"

"Please take as many as you want"

Yeah, I'm glad.

After all, Faye chose two paintings and took them home.

"Thank you! I'm going to brag to my father and brother!

"If you're happy, I'm glad."

Fei chose a picture of the springs and the trees in the background and a lot of trees in the forest.

"I was thinking of decorating this in my room. Look, this is where I first met you, right? I have thoughts, and above all, it's beautiful. By the water in the woods."

Yes, I like the expression of this spring. The color of the sky, the color of the light, and the color of the leaves are not bad.

"I wonder if this one... should be decorated in the docking room. Look, you miss the wall a little bit, right? This is a nice color. So I feel calm when I decorate it."

I see. This is the reception room... Oh, I mean, that's where the customers see it, right? Is that okay?

"Heh heh. Every time a guest comes, I brag about it."

... I see. Show it to the customer? I'm happy, but I'm still a little embarrassed.

"Ah! I'll keep it a secret that the Spirit of the Forest painted it!

Oh, yeah. Please keep that to yourself.
