My ability to paint after rebirth seemed the same as before...
I should have painted Charlotte.
"Wow. Wow. What kind of abstract painting is this?... Lute, you're drawing a difficult picture..."
I was told.
I was going to draw it very accurately...
I was embarrassed, so I deceived myself by saying that I was not sure I was expressing friendship, effort, and victory just by line. Charlotte seemed to believe me and was impressed.
While I was painting, Charlotte was also painting me facing the canvas.
The way she was painting with a serious expression was slightly different from the usual relaxed atmosphere and had a different charm.
I couldn't paint well because she took my eyes off me many times.
That's what I'll do. Mm-hmm.
I had been drawing for about two hours, but I decided to have lunch. They say Charlotte will behave.
I really wanted to help her cook, but as an example, I was just relaxing in the dining room because they said, "You can't sit down."
As I was free, I looked at the room and found that there was something round on the wall.
Is it a clock? Probably. The design is black on the left and white on the right.
There was only one hand on the watch, and it was just about three o'clock.
... it won't be three o'clock in time. It's probably only about 12: 00 in the afternoon.
Incidentally, letters with the meaning of "yellow" instead of the three numbers are written there.
At the top, white.
From there, turn right, red, blue, yellow, green, tea, followed by, at the bottom, black.
From there, it follows red, blue, yellow, green, and tea, and then returns to the top white.
I think it's a watch.
Perhaps the way I read is different from my world.
As you crush time while observing the movement of the hands on the clock,
"Oh, let me wait ~"
I heard a voice.
Charlotte put the basketcase around her elbows and brought a tray with plates and glasses on both hands.
Every time I walked, there was a clatter and a plate, and the drinks in the glass were shaking.
As yesterday, Charlotte carries his feet very carefully.
Oh, so much. Are you okay...?
I stood by to keep an eye out for smoke at all times, while I was shy, but today Charlotte got to the table safely. She sighed and slipped her forehead.
She arranged two glasses and plates on the table, then opened the basket case.
It has a sandwich in it.
"I've made a lot of them, so eat them more and more."
With that said, I sat next to you as I did yesterday.
"... no, okay?
"Yeah."
Kuriku and I took a spit.
Pinch the sandwich with your hand,
"I'll take it."
I put it in my mouth with one word. Mogging...
--Nah!
I got up from the chair with a rattle.
"Oh my god...."
"Well, what's the matter?
A thunderbolt.
The electric shock was stronger than the Arrow of Thunder that the werewolf monster took one day.
"... I'm so good!
I am.
I've never thought a sandwich so delicious.
"... oh, I'm exaggerating!"
"No, this is amazing!
"Um, it's just a regular sandwich with vegetables and ham between it. You don't cook like that.
"Charlotte, you don't have to be modest. You're amazing. [M] He's a genius."
"Hmm....? I didn't do anything...."
Ah, the meal was wonderful.
I feel like it would be a waste if I ate it all at once. Eat slowly.
After dinner, we enjoyed tea time.
Lute really looks delicious.
She said so with one hand of tea.
"It's really delicious, isn't it?
"Fufu. I'll make it right this time."
Oh, what a quiet time.
I hope this time continues, but it's time for me to talk about her mystery.
That monster seems dangerous and cannot be left alone.
"... hey, Charlotte."
"Hmm? What's wrong?
"It seems that the monster outside is called Sujaradra."
"Uh-huh. Seems so. You're scared... but it's okay. It won't move."
"What does that have to do with you?
"Relationship?"
"Yes, why does Charlotte live in this house?
That's what I want to hear.
"... that's because I'm keeping that monster locked up."
"... force?
"Yeah, there was a white translucent wall, right? That's my special power. The box is so sturdy that no one can break it."
I wonder if it's like my Ruler of Smoke.
"When I leave here, my powers will be lifted and my seal will be lifted, so I live here."
"So you're not leaving this house?
"Yeah."
"But I heard he showed up seven or eight years ago."
"Really? Hmm, I wonder how much it is."
A year on this planet is not like a year I know it is, is it?
"How old are you and how long have you been here?
I'm fifteen.
It's as good as it looks. I think age recognition is as good as my world.
"I don't remember here... but I wonder when I was this tall."
Charlotte told me the height by hand.
It's a little taller than my dick. Probably about seven.
"... and then you didn't leave? Not once?
"Yeah."
- Seriously.
"How did Charlotte end up doing that?
"... I don't know. But I'm the only one who can do it."
"Who said that?
It's your mother.
Again?
Don't you want to get out of here? I told you there's a lot of places you want to go, right?
"That's..."
Charlotte dropped his expression in the dark. I've never seen her face like this.
"Of course I want to leave.... but it can't be helped. When I leave, the monsters move."
"... I'll take you down"
Huh?
Charlotte blinked his big, round eyes twice.
"Lute?
"Yes, it is."
"Ahahah, thank you. I'm counting on you."
Looks like they took it as a joke.
I'm serious.
……
I saw Charlotte with serious eyes.
Charlotte, who was laughing at first, looked at my face and understood that I was not joking.
"Mm, I can't. That monster is really strong. I can't get rid of anybody, so I'm sealing it."
"I can take him down."
That's what I said.
"Can you get that box out freely? I can't protect you?
"I think we can unlock that seal...."
"I see. All right. Then unseal the monster and protect yourself. [M] In the meantime, I'll take him down. I promise."
"... okay, I can't beat you. Hundreds of people in a bunch said they couldn't win."
"You're so strong, me! Here, you can use the smoke!
I started smoking from my fingertips and circled around in the air.
Charlotte looks like she's in trouble and doesn't say anything.
"If not, I'll show you my magic later!
I said that to Charlotte, who didn't nod honestly.
"I'm not lying! I took down the Kamakiri, the giant monkeys!
"... um, Lute. Thank you. I'm glad you said that. But I'm fine."
"It's okay... what is it?"
"I feel like going outside, but I'm convinced. Safeguarding peace by doing what only you can. My mom says," I'm proud. "
Mom again?
"Besides, even if Lute was really strong enough to defeat monsters, I can't decide on my own. I have to talk to my mother."
"Hey, why isn't she here?
"I don't know, but that's how it works. That's what you promised the great man who built this mansion...."
Oh, my God. It's vague and I don't know.
"The delivery room...? Your mom's carrying a lot of stuff over there, and she's picking it up, right? I'll talk to you. Tell me the next time I see you."
"I can't see you."
Huh?
Charlotte stared at the table with sad eyes.
"... you won't be able to see me while the monster is alive. Because that's how it's done."
"What?...... Then who will give Charlotte something?
"There's nobody in that room because it's just stuff."
"What is it? So you're here without seeing anyone? All the time?"
"Yeah... when I was really small, adults came by occasionally. I've been alone since this mansion was built."
I'm getting angry.
"... you must be so lonely."
"Well, I'm not lonely! My mother writes to me and occasionally calls me... Besides, they give me presents once a year.
Charlotte stood up with her expression brightened.
"Yes! I'll show you, too, Lute. Get over here!
