The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today
Episode 9: Forests, Villages, and Walls * 8
It was the evening when I woke up. When I decided to go painting as it is, I was taken by the horse and taken to the cabin where Lian waited. And Lian called Laocles with pleasure, and I was taken home.... to Lian!
On that day, I ate dinner and went to bed.
... instead, the next morning, as soon as I wake up before the sun rises, I go to paint.
Now it's time to finish the gate!
The central building that came back with the feeling of revenge is somewhat different than the previous one. Because I have a different attitude, or because I can get a much clearer outline than last time.
... that's why the image is much clearer.
The view from the northern gate is a gentle hillside. If you go all the way over there, there is the King's City, but you can't see it so far, so you can't draw it.
The view from the west gate is of shrubs and bushes. There is another town in Redgard territory that looks small and far from here.
The view from the south gate is the prairie. Beyond the swaying grass, which is touched by the sun's light, you can still see a small town.
And the view from the east gate is the field. The freshly created fields, the grasslands beyond them, and the town of Redgard, just beyond the north end.... this is the east side, so the light is strong.
... with a strong image like this, I... paint directly into the building.
I felt a little cunning, but I felt I could do this.
I decided to put leather on the gate from outside the building and draw a magical painting there. [M]
The canvas frame is this gate itself. Draw a view of the other side directly into the space that hits the gate.
... the gate is huge. It's big enough to pass a red dragon, of course.
That's why it's fun. I never thought I'd be so free to paint on such a big canvas! And magic paintings are amazing! The paint can be moved to an inaccessible height, and the entire area can be finished by one person at a time. My intention is to put the paint on the canvas as I wish. [M]
... there's no reason this isn't fun! "Should I use this type of brush?" "If I use this color, it will come true." As I tried and mistakenly, I continued to manipulate the paint with magic and even proceeded to draw.
Because I didn't seem to have the strength to keep all the paint on the boulder until I finished drawing it all, I decided to lay the paint on it while fixing it on the way.
What I see painting is a dragon, a bird, a red dragon, an alicorn, a phoenix and a tube fox. Large area.
They look at the magical paint floating in the air and seem to be somehow relaxing. There was nothing to stop me, except that you kept silent until I finished drawing a picture.
... just around noon. Just after I finished the painting of the first gate one step away and exhaled. [M]
The tube fox jumped in and disfigured, caught by the phoenix, and I was transported... as the dragon wrapped around it, the bird was bragging about waiting for me somehow, and I was pulled down.
And then, yesterday, a red dragon spreads its wings over me. Oh, is this, like, a futon?
In addition, Alicorn entered the dragon's turtle and began to sleep next to me. [M] The tube fox and the phoenix also dive in and begin to sleep.
... I wonder if this means taking a nap.
When I was about to slip out, the dragon threw my stomach at me with its tail, and, as in the example, I was playing with my stomach, making it difficult, so I decided to sleep in peace.... the dragon is tougher than Laocles.
It was in the evening when I woke up, but I drew it because my health was back.
The first gate was to the north, and the next gate to the west.
Because it was the second gate, I was getting used to it a lot and was able to finish it much earlier than when I drew the northern gate.
And when I drew the west gate, I had to eat now.... because everybody brought me a lot.
Alicorn is ham and cheese bread. Maybe Laocles gave it to me. The Red Dragon brought me some roasted meat, but I wonder if this is from Faye.
The phoenix is a bamboo shoot soup. It was in a container made of bamboo tubes. Yeah, it's delicious. The tube fox brought me fairy sweets.... ah, it's a new fairy. It's a strawberry-flavoured macaron, but maybe it's from the wall...
The dragon has plenty of regular tree nuts. And the bird... brought me a set of offerings. Bread, steamed potatoes and strawberry juice. Oh, but about half the bread was eaten. Yeah, first of all...
After eating plenty, I went to sleep again. And they sleep in the dragon's turtle, surrounded by everyone. It's warm and nice inside.
It was morning when I woke up asleep. Next, draw the south gate. Because it's south, it's a bright image of the sun. The soft gloss of the grass in the meadow and the shaking of the wind are gradually painted in detail.
... after all, because it's a magic painting, you'll be able to satisfy yourself. It feels like there are very few magical paintings that you can't express because you don't have enough skills. Of course, there are expressions in watercolour paintings that can only be used in watercolour paintings, but what I want to do now is a heavy and realistic way of drawing, so magic painting is really good after all.
I'm excited as I draw. In the drawing, the idea of going there, going here, comes out more and more. And you can stick it all in.... fun. Wow.
Then he finished drawing the south gate, and sandwiched a nap, and then proceeded to the last east gate.
On the east side, there's a field. Also, there is the town of Redgard and Faye's house in the northeast, so I want to draw it even more tightly.
I didn't compromise at the other gates, but I didn't want to compromise at this gate any more. So I took a break before someone told me.
... this surprised me so much. As soon as I said, "Let's take a break," the dragon opened his eyes, Alicorn was surprised by the flapping of his wings, the red dragon was flapping his tail, the phoenix flew straight to me worried about my serious illness, the tube fox began to dive into my sleeve, and the bird said, "Hmm? I was tilting my neck with a face like '.
No, well... I want to move forward with drawing right away, but I want to make it the best. So... just hold on a little longer!
Sleep, wake up, start drawing, from there it's non-stop. Even paint the scenery outside the forest.
The scenery is illuminated by the sun. It was bright and dazzling, and the sky was going on forever... Sometimes, when I was drawing a view like that, I wondered if the gate was already connected to the outside of the forest, and the drawing went on.
Once again, I'm happy, and I'm even moving the paint until I'm convinced.
... that's how I drew up four gates.
The time is night. I guess I've been drawing for two days. [M] Two days? No, maybe three days...?
... well, okay. For now, let's take another break. When I told everyone, "I'm going to take a break," they served me another meal, so I'll eat it with them. After eating... next time, I'll go to bed. If I hadn't woken up, I'd have asked the dragon to wake me up at dawn before the sun went up. A dragon would probably wake me up.
I woke up in the morning before the dragon woke me up. When I opened my eyes and greeted the dragon, the dragon looked a little sad.... I wonder how he was gonna wake me up, this guy.
Then, as I got out of the dragon's turtle, the bird that seems to have woken up as cold as I got out began to protest against me or slap its wings, and everyone else was woken up.
Then I'll ask everyone to stand back... and I'll stand in the middle of the room.
Finish from here.
There is a problem when you draw each of the four gates directly into the position of the gate.
For each of the four gates to materialize, perspectives are important.
Each gate is depicted in a straight-facing composition, so if you look at it from a slight diagonal angle, there will be only a picture on the gate, not on the other side of the gate...
... so finish from the middle of the room, where you can face all four gates straight.
I dare to complete all the parts I left behind. And then... finally, I'll put paint on the floor.
The time is now dawn. It's time for the sun to rise. So, from the east gate, light will come in to light the floor. The south side should be brighter. Conversely, the north and west are shaded by the forest, so it may not be very bright.
... with that in mind, I'm drawing in the sun's light. Once you draw it in... you just have to wait.
I waited nervously.
I don't know what to do if it doesn't materialize again.
... what I said to Faye is true. I want to repay the Redgards and the Redgards. Even I am personally taken care of by Faye. I'd like to return the money.
And I want to see how far I can go. I want to create such a magical gate that connects two distant points at zero distance with ancient magic.
A lot of anxiety went around my head, but as I suppressed it, I just waited.
When the sun rises, illuminates the eastern side of the forest, and... here's the picture, when reality gets closer.
... and then, the tingling. It felt like a puzzle piece fitted, like a clock needle showed 00 minutes.
Suddenly, the magic moves around inside me. I was puzzled by that, but I remained conscious and watched the other side of the gate.
The portrait of the gate was all trembling. Trembling, trembling... the entire landscape starts to tremble, as if it were even an earthquake.
I can see the painting glowing and the magic running there.... eventually, there was a twisting sensation in the world.
And when the twist spreads back... the light in the painting turns into real light.
I'm afraid, I touched the gate.
But there's nothing there. There is nothing left in the gate where the painting was posted just now. It's just... there's a view on the other side.
Yes, I can only see the fields.
"... woah"
I gently went outside the gate. Then the fields spread out there. The farmers are pounding with their mouths open. You can see the town of Redgard in the distance. The wind blowing softly swayed my hair. [M]
... my chest is kind of full, and I'm going back inside the gate. And that's in the middle of the building. Continue through the south gate, and the grasslands spreads with sawdust, and through the west gate there are shrubs and bushes. As soon as we exit the northern gate, the hills are spreading.
"... it's done."
It's done. Ancient magic is done.
The painted gate turned into a real gate. My painting, too.
Surrounded by a sense of accomplishment, I looked back at everyone. [M] Looking back at them who were waiting for me in the building, I opened my mouth thinking I had to thank them for all the support I had while drawing....
... at that moment, your consciousness disappears, like you're being pulled out. Even though I thought about it, my body didn't move, and I fell on the spot.
While I thought it was strange, more and more creatures came...
... while I watched it, I closed my eyes.
Yeah, it's not bad to sleep in a state of satisfaction.
