Episode 4: Painting Trip * 3

The next day, I was painting in a park with a clock tower.

It seems that this is one of the painting spots that Claire has thought about. With only Krah's recommendations, the clock tower was a wonderful building.

A tower made of slightly faded brick and cream-coloured lacquer has a large watch.... it seems that this world clock carves time to match the sun and moon. That's why the powerful gems of the sun and moon are built inside.... like a quartz watch.

In the meantime, while looking at such a strange watch, I draw it in a picture. The clock tower is tall, so I think it's a good idea to look up. The shade of faded brick seems to be the same when you wear it quickly with a watercolor. I'm somewhat happy to find a watercoloured landscape like this.

The clock tower park was less crowded than the square in front of the royal castle. It may be a good place to paint in a quiet place.

But it's not like there are no people at all, so I can talk to them sometimes. I was asked the name several times. This is the same as it was painted in the square in front of the royal castle.

In the meantime, when I was drawing... two fairies flew in.

Unusual.

I'm sure these two are Metropolitan. I'm sure they sneak into the corner shoe shop and sew shoes, sneak into the kitchen of the house and steal cookies and bread shards, and get a little liquor in the barrels at the brewery. Probably.

... and the two fairies are kind of glad to stare at my paintings. I wonder if you like it.

"... do you like it?

When I heard it, the fairy nodded while saying something in fairy language, and then shook my fingers up and down. I know this is how they shake hands with humans.

The fairies have been smiling at my paintings for a while, but, hey, say something... and pull my sleeves in pairs.

"Huh? Going somewhere?

When I asked, I didn't know what the fairy was saying, so it didn't make sense... but the two fairies pulled my sleeves a lot.

I can't help it, so I'll follow you. Then the fairy brought me into the shade and stopped there.

... I wonder. Is there something good in the shade of this tree?

I looked around a little, but found nothing in particular. [M] Oh, no, I found a beautiful flower. There is no such thing as a forest. Urban flowers...?

... but it seems that the fairies didn't want to show me the flowers, so I'm a little embarrassed. The two fairies are holding my sleeve tightly, glittering, just before I was there... looking at the sketchbook where the colors are 50% finished.

"... I wonder what it is."

When I asked, the two fairies nodded many times. I see. Is there something wrong?... no, I wonder what. That's it. I don't know the details.

As far as the fairies are concerned, they don't seem hostile to me, and I think maybe this is what they're doing for me.

I don't think I can move much, but...

So I had a little trouble. The fairy is staring at the sketchbook I left behind while keeping me in place. [M]

... that's when it happened.

"Ah"

A man sitting on a bench in the corner of the park, seeing no one around him, stood up gently... approaching my sketchbook, and...

Hey, I took the sketchbook and walked away.

Two fairies moved before I did. [M] He flies at an incredible speed and jumps out in front of a man. So the fairy's unique sparkle soared, and the man who seemed to have seen it stopped his feet as if confused.

"What are you doing!

And the man... was caught lightly by Laocles, who jumped out of the shade.

... eh, Laocles, there you are. I didn't know.

Why did you steal it?

Before Laocles royaled, the man sat on a bench, shrinking in panic. By the way, while fairies float in the air on both sides of Laocles, they still pose as royalty, but this man doesn't seem to see fairies. However, I see sparkles and sometimes I look at the universe strangely.

"Well, there was a picture there....."

And here's the man's answer.... well, I mean, I didn't want a sketchbook, I wanted a picture. Either way, it would be troublesome if it was stolen.

"That's an answer you've licked a lot."

Hih

When I was in trouble, Laocles took a step closer to the man. In line with this, men shrink more and more.... yeah, I know that Laocles is a little scared. The approaching plaster statue... no, it's the approaching Nino statue. Yeah. Powerful score.

"Ah, um, can I talk to you for a second?"

However, when I was in front of the statue of Ren Wang, the man didn't seem to speak much, so I came out in front of Laocles and the fairies.

The man then looked relieved a little.... yeah, no, I came out here just to calm down and talk, so that's fine, but, uh... I'm not strong enough after all. Yeah....

"Are you a painting thief?

When asked a little depressed, the man shook his neck sideways.

"Thief! No!"

"... then why did you take this picture with you?

It feels a little strange for ordinary people who are not thieves to take pictures with them. Um, do you like this painting that much?

If you liked the painting, I'd be a little happy... but I was waiting for his answer.

"... come on, you're Corgo Uesora, right?

Suddenly, I was a little surprised when my name was called.

Eh? Ah, yes.

When I answered, the man nodded "I knew it."

"I just heard it when I was talking to someone else. You're a corn weasel."

"Hah...."

Speaking of which, I just told you. Yeah, like an old couple walking around. And at that time, this man was on a bench nearby. I think I could have listened if I wanted to. Oh, you heard me.

... so I'm done talking about men. That's it.

"Um, so you stole this painting because I'm Kirigo Kamikami?

I don't know if he's a fan of mine, but I don't know if he's a fan. Well, I'd be a little happy if I thought...

"Well, there was an unpublished piece of Corgo Uesora in front of me! With this, I can be a corn weasel too!

... I don't think I can be. Mm-hmm.

When I had a little trouble responding unexpectedly, the man said, holding my sketchbook. [M]

"Sell this! I can handle the money!

"No, because the money is on time...."

I feel like I did this interaction yesterday. Hmm...

... when I was in trouble remembering my pre-vision feeling, Laocles came out from the side.

"... are you kidding the name of Corgo Uesora?"

Laocles lowered his voice and the man rose again.

"Is it about the money?"

"Chi, no...."

"Then why did you cheat on me?"

For the first time in Laocles' approaching statue of Reno, the man is trembling and trembling.

Say it.

Still, Laocles was relentless, staring at the man like that...

"Ah, I want the woman I admire to turn around....."

... yes, the man answered.

Yeah, this was unexpected.

"... the woman I admire"

When I heard back, the man nodded. Oh, yeah.... this is troublesome. What kind of face should I ask?

"With the fame of Corgo Uesora, you'd turn around."

The man nodded many times, saying that Laocles was completely stunned. I see...

"She seems to like artists and men with skin. So, if I say I'm a Corgo Uesora, I'm a fan of painting!

Thank you for that.

... I wanted to hear that directly, if possible. No, I'm hopeful about that.

"By the way, do you paint?

"No, no... not at all"

I see. Lucien, you and this guy, there's a lot of people who don't paint, but they name their paintings...

When I was a little surprised, the man grabbed my shoulder and complained in desperate fashion.

"So, when I bought a picture of Corgo Uesora and left it in my room, she thought I was a Corgo Uesora... actually, that's what's going on with me and her! So stay out of my way! Hey!"

What should I do? As far as the man's concerned is concerned, it seems to be in trouble.

I don't want to disturb them either, but what happens when a woman I don't know goes out with, like, a little... uh, embarrassed? Trouble? Mm-hmm. I don't know what to say, this.

I looked up at Laocles in trouble as the man loosened his shoulders, and Laocles pulled off the hand that grabbed my shoulder and pushed the man slightly, exhaling a small sigh with a bitter face. Yeah, that's right. It's troublesome, right?

... but for now, I'm sure there's one thing you need to do.

"... for now, I want my sketchbook back. It's about to be painted. Plus, there are lots of other things I want to draw."

A sketchbook held by a man. I want to draw more quickly, so I need you to return it.

When I reached out, the man... hid the sketchbook behind him.

"No, I don't want to! With this, I'll be even more perfect in Corgo Uesora....."

... but then, behind the man, the sketchbook floated.

"Eh!?

The man who couldn't see the fairy was surprised, but Laocles and I saw the fairy. When you see two fairies flying with both ends of the sketchbook hard and heavy, you feel kind of sorry and happy.

The fairy worked hard and managed to return the sketchbook to me. [M] Thank you very much.

"Nah... what, just now?"

He must have been surprised because he only seemed sparkly to men. But because the fairy in front of me had a finger standing in front of my mouth, I decided not to say, "It's the fairy's work."

"Thank you for returning it."

In the meantime, when I thanked him, the man remained calm. You were so surprised. I see.

"Well, then, if you could just stop naming me...."

And then... I thought it might be terrible for him, but I decided to say it.

"Oh no! What do I have to explain to her?

Sure enough, the man rebelled. That's right. Hmm...

"You could say you were lying."

"If you do that, they'll hate you!

"What do you know?"

Laocles is cold. That's what Laocles said, without feeling the temperature like a marble... and then he stared at the man.

"If you want any more questions, you're going to have to come to justice."

In the end, Laocles' words seemed to be decisive, and the man promised to stop naming 'Corgo Huesola'.

But I'm sure my lover will get spoiled. I was lying, so naturally it's only natural... but if his lover liked anything other than "Tougo Uesora", I'm so sorry.

... yeah. I don't want to get in the way of women I don't know, or take sketchbooks, but I don't want to bother them.

"Um..."

I gently called out to the man who looked like he had been struck. Then the man raised his face suddenly.

"... do you want to paint together?

So I propose.

If the other person is a woman the artist likes, why don't you still be an artist?

"... I've been turned down."

"Well... I guess so."

The man refused. "It seems that I can't practice now and it doesn't suit my sex."

"I tried to become an artist for the ideal woman, but you don't like painting..."

It's kind of strange. Does that mean you just wanted the title because you don't have to have the contents? But I'm sure you'll soon understand that...

"... I don't paint, so I know how he feels."

Eh?

If I was wondering, Laocles said that with a bitter face.

"Those who do not paint do not understand the thoughts of the painter. I don't know what I see or how I see it. So I don't even know what I have to see, and I think," I wish I could see what I see. "

... well, that's a tough story. But I know what you're trying to say. Somehow.

"Those who don't know how to draw don't know what they should know because they don't know how to draw. It's okay to spit out lies that you think will be exposed as soon as you see them from the painting. Because I don't have the knowledge, painting looks just like me. That's why you tell that lie with confidence."

Without professional knowledge, it is difficult to tell professional lies. Conversely, if you don't have any professional knowledge, you don't even know that it's difficult to tell a professional lie, so you tell a lie. Is that so?

"... but sometimes I hear you can taste the eggs even if you don't lay them."

"Sometimes that's what I think. But that's what the man who never laid an egg said. You can't say there's nothing you can't tell anyone but the person who laid the egg."

That's what Laocles said... and she looks bitter again.

"Only those who cheaply estimate the value of what they want are reluctant to pay for it. That's exactly what he was like earlier."

... I see. Did the man just quote my name cheaply for painting? [M] Still, I don't like drawing pictures...

"... I'm kind of angry."

"I don't think you need to do that."

Well, I'm, uh, pissed off.

... but is that okay? Why am I angry? [M] Because I felt despised to paint? Or are you angry that your name has been quoted cheaply?

If it is the latter, I wonder if I want to look up to myself.

That's... kind of a nasty feeling.

"You look complicated."

"Mmm...."

Laocles looked at me and smiled bitterly.

"I... no"

And say something, and then quietly shut your mouth. And instead... I started stroking my head. [M]

"Wow."

Well, that was a disaster.

... that's what they said, and they kept stroking me, making my hair tickle... and I was convinced.

Yeah. It was a disaster.

Let's not think hard. Maybe I'm getting a little tired after something I'm not used to. If you want to think about it, you should think about it when you're well.

"In the meantime, we've managed to make one of the corn and two of the corn. You just need to take it easy and draw a picture."

"... yeah. I will."

That's right. It's a waste of time worrying. I've only been in King's Landing for a short time, so I have to paint in between.

I quickly decided to draw a clock tower and move on... I was surprised.

"... it's sparkling"

The picture was sparkling.

That's how it feels when you wipe it off the edge of the screen and scatter fragments of light.

... and next to me, there were two fairies playing around.

Apparently, the fairy scale fell and the painting sparkled.

Yeah, um...

... well, this is it...

Even after a strange and sparkling picture was made, I even drew a picture. [M]

Behind the clock tower, there was a small church-like building where the lacquer faded and cracked and the sunset stained glass was wonderful.

... but it was late at night while I was drawing, so the rest is tomorrow.

I'll clean up the paintings and go to the hotel with Laocles. [M]

... that was on the way.

"Ah"

I find a familiar carriage under the street lights. [M]

The carriage I saw yesterday. Four carriages with beautiful workmanship. It stops by the side of the road, by the street lamp.

"... do you know him?

"No, it's not like that, but it was the carriage I saw yesterday."

Explaining this to Laocles, Laocles raised one eyebrow slightly and looked like he was "a little suspicious."

As we continue, as we pass by the carriage, we glitter and peek towards the carriage.

... but it was dark inside, so I didn't really understand.

We'll start talking after we've gone too far in the carriage.

"It must be a carriage from some noble house... do you have any idea?

"No, not at all."

I have no idea. If it's a carriage from a nobleman's house, I think it's the nobleman or his associate in it... but if it's the only thing I know, "The Third Corn"?

... but I'm a little happy.

"... you look happy, but what's the matter?"

I gladly reported it to Laocles, who looked suspicious.

"When I passed by the carriage, I heard a pencil drawing. Someone inside, someone who paints!

"... you know what I mean?"

"Yeah."

I know, because that's what I've been doing. I know how it sounds when you rub a pencil on paper.

"I was drawing a picture... I mean, a corn, part three? I'm a painter of nobility."

... maybe.

However, I'm sure things will work out this time, and if anything, we might get along.

Because he's a painter!
