Episode 11: Turn to the open gate right * 2

"So, 20. Pick a job for a boulder and decide whether you want it or not.

... I'm in a lot of trouble right now.

Faye brought me 20 requests in total.

Yeah. Twenty. I can't say one or three anymore. What should I do? Too many at once.

Well, that's a lot more at once.

"Ah, yeah. Saphir-san's tea drinking friend's grandmother seemed to have a fairly wide face...."

Oh, that grandmother... Yeah, no, thank you, and I'm really glad. Mm-hmm.

"Good for you. That's how widely you've been recognized."

"Yeah... I don't feel anything at all"

I don't know what to say, this. I'm definitely not a good painter, and I think perhaps the reason for this request is because the watercolor painting was unusual or because the motif was unusual. And then, like, "This is good for occasions," or "I feel like I want to change my appearance"....?

However, I'm still happy to be appreciated, and I'm also happy that you want it. Maybe. I'm kind of confused or confused or something, but I'm probably happy.

"There are quite a few requests for forest paintings. It's a forest painted by the spirits of the forest. I know how you feel."

"Fufu. I'm already decorating a number of lovely forest paintings by the Spirit of the Forest."

"I'm decorating too!... or so to speak, the number one request for Tokyo is a portrait of my house!

Yeah. Yeah... yeah. Uh, what do we do? What should I do? My head doesn't move at all. Looks like she abandoned thinking in pure white. I don't care what you do, you head.

"... for now, just calm down. Sleep for a while. You can scrutinize the request tomorrow."

"But I can't keep you waiting....."

"Ahh, that's okay. Most of the people I asked for this time are rich, and they're the only ones who can afford to buy and decorate paintings. They've been having money for a long time, so it's better to stay excited for a little longer."

Is that what it is? The image that the assignment should be completed and submitted as soon as possible is very strong, so somehow, I'm a little uncomfortable...

Speaking of which, I've been asked to paint an angel, but aren't Lian and Angel still here?

Oh, that was a problem!

"Please, please stay for about three months. It would be really helpful if you guys were here... but I don't think so. I'll pay you...."

For now, hurry up and ask Lean and Ange.

The first time I talked about it was about two months, so I've already exceeded the deadline!

"Well, even if you say so...."

"Well, you can stay until the winter is over. If you two live together, winter will be tough."

Lian seemed a little snug, but Laocles told her to shut up.

"Most of the time, you wanted to finish the job right away to buy back Angie, didn't you? I don't think you both need to leave the woods in a hurry, as long as you're here?

In addition, it seems that if Claire said so, she could not say anything anymore.

When Lian was stuck in his words, Ange gently pulled the hem of Lian's clothes.

"Um, Ange likes it here. There are fairies, and I like birds and horses because they are cute. I also like the corn oniichan...."

... Oniichan in Corn. Oniichan in the corn.

I see. I'm in a corn cage...

It feels kind of embarrassing to be happy.

"Oniichan, do I have to shrug you?

And when Ange said that and looked at Lian's lonely face....

"Ah... if that's what Ange says, I can't help it!

That's what Lian said. You did it!

"Basically, I'm your slave! You decide how long I'm gonna be here! You can have as many people as you want!

I'm kind of sorry, but for now, I'm glad. Now it was avoided that there was no model even though there was a request for an angel painting... I'm glad...

"Oh, I see you have an oil painting for me."

When I was relieved to be able to secure an angel model for a while, Mr. Crowe said that.

"Look, I want you to paint the forest with oil paintings."

Well, what do we do? Oil painting is not very good! You're not studying! What should I do?

"I don't care about painting materials. Ah, a fairy painting. I have a model, and it might be just right."

"This is an unusual painting of plants. That's funny. But the spirits of the forest have a lot of strange plants in their minds, right?

"Ah, a painting of a creature. You want me to draw you a unicorn?

Uh, uh, uh... I have a lot to think about, but my head doesn't move very well...

... and when I was in trouble, Laocles slapped me on the shoulder.

"... sleep for a while"

Yeah, sure. I will. No. Sleep once. Good night. Good night...

Then I took a nap. [M]

Faye arrived after lunch, and then, until about evening, he rode on a hammock and took a nap there.

When I got on the hammock, a lot of horses stopped by as if I had signaled it, and then I looked like, "What is it, isn't it out of magic?" and didn't leave.

The phoenix stops at the branch of the tree next to the hammock as usual, and the long tail wings hang next to my head to make it sunny, and the tube fox splits and becomes a palm-sized fox, filling up the gap between the hammock and my body. It is very fluffy because it has 9 tails even when it gets smaller.

... so I slept surrounded by everyone, drooling around, and it seemed like I hadn't had any kind of vague dream, so it was like this evening.

By that time, it had settled down a little, and when I woke up and reconsidered, I was able to think, "It's just hard to think, so let me do it slowly." Yeah. Wow.

That night, I calmly looked at the order form.

... a picture of the forest painted with oil paintings. Watercolor forest painting. Fairy paintings of any painting material. By the water in the forest. Angel. Brave knight. Small fruit painting. An empty picture. Naked women's paintings. Forest paintings, forest paintings...

There were some people who asked me for some by myself, and I realized that I had to draw more than 20 pictures if I was to list what I was drawing.

"Oh my god...."

"No, that's why you have to choose a job. Look, this is a bad deal. The picture of the woods, it's getting smaller. Three gold coins doesn't suit you, does it?

"No, it suits me. Because paint and paper are free....."

"No, no, no, as a consideration for your workforce."

"After all, if you have three gold coins, you can buy bread and cheese and change. That's enough."

The value of money is not yet well understood. I've finally managed to figure out the price… The people around me are Noble Fay, Laocles, a former knight and current slave, Claire, a former detective and current model, and two children's angels. Yeah, I don't know how much money it feels.

But I don't think it has anything to do with money. Yeah. Whatever it takes, it's free.

"They asked me for this painting, and it looks like a 13-year-old girl. If she likes the picture I painted and buys me three gold coins from the penny, I'll sell it."

In the comment section of the purchase order, I wrote my thoughts on seeing my painting very hard. I saw a picture of the forest at my grandmother's house. I thought the painting was transparent and clear, and it was the dazzling forest itself. I used to live in the woods for medical treatment when I was little. I was somehow happy when I remembered the fun memories of that time....

... if I read this, I can't refuse. Mm-hmm.

"Ah, shit, that's right, that's what you are...."

Yeah, it's this guy.

"So, what do we do? I can't believe I'm drawing all of this."

"... I've been waiting six months."

"No, I think it would be pretty fast if I could draw 20 pieces in six months...."

However, if a request comes in the meantime, more and more undigested requests come in. That's a little... mmm.

When I was worried, Laocles said.

"... can't you sell what you've already painted?"

Huh?

It's already been painted... oh, well, certainly, some of the forest pictures and angel pictures are on the second floor.

... I wonder if there was anything I could sell. If so, how do I sell it? If that's what you think...

"Ah, yes. So you're gonna build a gallery?

That's what Faye suggested.

"What about here?

"... it's a nice change of land."

"Isn't that right... no, wait a minute. What a lovely change of land. Isn't it lovely? Is there another land? Is that nice? Isn't it nice?"

"Yeah. Somehow... it's not so wide, and there's a lot of grass around, and it's a nice place to go."

I was guided to the rear of House Redgard. It is a little far from the Redgard family, but it seems to be on the premises of the Redgard family. There is nothing around. Not popular either. It's in the opposite direction to town.

... yeah. Well, it's called "land that used to be in people's hands, but is now abandoned."

"I heard it was originally an outdoor training ground here, right? Our knights have already built packing and training camps elsewhere... well, there's no reason to bother using this one because it's not convenient, so now it's just another place."

Ah, outdoor drill.... that's what I think. Was that what happened when the stones didn't fall or the land was strangely crushed?

"Well, it's your job to build a house. This is your gallery."

"... uh, a place to decorate the painting?

Well, I guess so. And it's a place to sell the paintings that are decorated. "

"The second floor of your house is already like a gallery."

"Yeah."

"If there's a painting you can sell inside, bring it over here and decorate it. So, if there is someone I like, I will have them buy it. What do you think?"

... that might be good.

Look, if you're going to paint with a request, you might say, "It's not what I imagined." However, if you look at the product and buy it, such a difference will not occur. Wouldn't that be more satisfying for customers?

"Yes, I will."

"Oh, I see! Then you can use this land as you like!

"... is that okay?

"Oops, it's land to use, I don't plan on adding anything to it, and I have permission from my father and brother!

That's... yeah. Thank you very much.

Well then, let me use it with all due respect.

"Oops! Do it! Do it! There are a lot of pictures of you here, so it's easy to see not only me, but also my brother and father!

... following Faye's words, I had my gallery in the corner of House Redgard's grounds. Mmm, very lucky.

"... you've really increased your magic."

"Yeah."

That's how I built the gallery. When I draw it, I can make it pop, so it's not realistic after all.

The painted gallery is a bungalow. Small. The greasy roof and ivory walls are a little more dull than the Red Gard house roof, considering you put them in the corner of the Red Gard house. I think it's a bit fashionable to see the difference in chocolate brown muscles on the outer wall.

"These houses are going to be built in a few hours... wow, wow, some interior."

"Eh? I haven't drawn anything yet... ah, it's true. It has wallpaper and is a stone floor. But it's empty."

In the meantime, it looks like only the Box was made. Um, I'm going to make it a gallery, so I'm going to set up a panel or something in it, and I'm going to increase the area to decorate the painting... ah, but there aren't so many paintings left. Yeah. In the meantime, we just need to be able to hang pictures on the wall.

The day ended with a simple design of the architecture and interior of the gallery, followed by a selection of paintings to be decorated.

... that is, the task of sorting out the paintings that I want to keep with me. It was a little hard work because there were things I was satisfied with just drawing, and things I still wanted to see.

Then the next day, he interrupts the Red Gard family with a large number of paintings and begins the work of decorating the paintings in the building that becomes the gallery.

Draw a frame, put a picture in it, and hang it on the wall.... that's all, but it was pretty tough. There were quite a few, and when I put them on my forehead, the big picture was especially heavy.

But for that matter, the sense of accomplishment when the decoration was finished was internal. On one side of the wall is a painting I drew. [M]... I want to dream. I can't believe I can paint so many pictures and hang them on the wall like this. Besides, I can't believe someone's coming to see this.

"Hey, Corn. Are you ready?... oh, that's quite green."

"Well, there are lots of pictures of the forest...."

More than half of what I drew were forest paintings. [M] It's a picture of creatures in the woods, a landscape in the woods, and motifs, but... well, there's no helping it to be a forest in the background. I am the spirit of the forest. [M]

"For now, we have a gallery. Then let people peek here and if they like it, take it with you."

"Wait a minute. Hey, Corn. You're not thinking about the future!?

... what's next?

"You can't have a security guard and a salesman!

... ah.

Then I got worried.

I'm so worried.

Yeah, we need guards and salespeople. Otherwise, you can have your paintings stolen. No, if you like the painting and steal it properly, I'm fine... but I know that the person who stole it doesn't always take care of the painting, so I need security.

Also, if you want to sell the painting, you might want to have someone around. Even vending machines and unmanned outlets are fine.

... mmm.

"Um, do you want to do it at home?

"No, that's not good. I don't want to bother the Red Gard family with the security."

I don't think it will affect the Red Gard family's security because it's quite far from the residence, though. That's why the guards want to keep House Redgard out of trouble.

"So you're buying slaves?

"Hmm...."

However, buying a slave and doing something about it somehow... um, I feel uncertain. It's not that I don't trust slaves, but rather, I think it's better to use them...

... buying a slave, even though it's not a model, is there any resistance?

After a while, Faye worried with me.

"Hmm... so you want to stretch out the boundaries? You, like the junction of the woods, stick around here?

"I don't know how to do it. I just restarted the existing product about the forest boundary....."

It would be very convenient if you could follow the forest boundary here, but hate, I don't know how to make a boundary. I feel like I shouldn't easily put my hands on things I don't know.

"I should have built a gallery in the woods..."

"No, you can't. That's where the motorcycles live. I don't want to get too close either."

Yeah, that's right. I think so, too.

I can manage as many galleries as there are in the woods, but when people approach the woods, I don't think that's good. It's a forest with horses and fairies...

"So you're a guard after all. Do you hire mercenaries? Someone who lives and works."

"I find it hard to be seen all day."

"I see... then, do you want me to serve you some Summon Monsters? Someone who seems to be good at security. Come on, dragons."

"Yeah, I'll think about it."

So, it's settled. Let's get some creatures out of here. Not to mention the dragons... who guarded this gallery and didn't suffer from long hours of security. You seem to like me. [M] Yeah, let's do that.
