The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

Episode 16: Fairy Confectionery Store * 7

Then the next day. Another bouquet of flowers came. So, while the plaster statue was spinning, the clerk was replaced, and he almost went back for the accounting by the plaster statues.

And the next day. Another bouquet of flowers came. So, the plaster statue again. Ah, I increased the plaster statue this day. The bouquet man was in charge surrounded by six plaster statues.

In addition, the next day. Also, a plaster statue of a bouquet of flowers.

... and the next day.

"... you're not here anymore"

"Well... I guess."

The bouquet man is gone.

"It's not weird. Nothing has changed about the taste of sweets. Not at all....."

That's what Mr Crowe is saying, giggling. It seems fun, above all.

"Ah, I'm a little sorry I didn't come. I really liked seeing him around Laocles and paying for it."

Lyla laughs a lot at that. Yeah, I kind of liked that sight, too. I think the charm of the plaster statue was fully realized.

"Well, thank goodness. This way, Lian and Ange can go out to the store with peace of mind."

"I'm relieved about this, too. Look at him with weird eyes! And me!

"Yeah... I was a little scared."

While Lian and Ange were saying that, the plaster statues around them caressed well. These gypsum statues take care of Lian and Ange like younger brothers and sisters or friends' children. The fairies love it.

"Thanks to you, too. Thank you so much!"

Crowe smiled and shook hands one by one with the plaster statues. Besides, the gypsum statues look different.... well, even plaster statues are weak to beautiful people. I can see that.

And you, too, Corn.

Mr Crowe finally grabbed my hand. [M]

"Thank you for bringing me the wonderful knights."

Yeah. I'm not doing anything... but I'm happy because Claire seems happy.

If you're gonna thank me, so are we.

Then Mr. Mersen stood before me. [M] Behind them are other plaster statues lined up.

"Thank you so much for rescuing my people. I will serve you for the rest of my life."

"That's not true. I just bought you guys. So, um... if you want to give me back anything, just give me back my share of the money, that's fine."

I don't think this kind of thing is right for me while giving it back to you. [M] Standing on people is probably not the right thing to do. If there were a lot of people, it would be better to stand on top of them, all of them holding hands and lying side-by-side.

"Really... Abnegation."

That's what Marsen said, she sighed one more time and then turned back to Laocles.

"Ed, you're lucky, aren't you? This master certainly seems to be a good man. Besides, it's somewhere out of the ordinary....."

Are you saying it's fluffy?

"... hmm. Well then, Mr. Corn."

"Yes"

Mr Mersen bends a little, closes his eyes to me, laughs a little and listens.

"What do we do? Will you be guarding this wonderful confectionery store in the future? If there's anything else I can do, I want you to tell me."

"Um...."

... other work. I want you to say anything...

"... really, anything?

"Yeah. Anything."

I checked, but Mr Mersen didn't shake.

"Well then...."

While feeling a little embarrassed to offer, I got a little lost, but I don't think it's a waste to get lost here, so I say it with all my heart.

"Let me draw!

"... you really are an unusual kind of person."

"Ahh....."

"Ed, somehow I understand why you said, 'When the wind blows, I feel like I'm flying.'"

Somehow, while I was drawing, my bad mouth was flying around, but I couldn't care less about that. I mean, there are lots of plaster statues lined up in front of me! I have to draw! There are so many plaster statues, I have to draw them!

"By the way, Corn calls us' Gypsum Statues'...."

"It's like a title for this guy."

"Ah, a statuette of flesh."

Oh, yeah. With intimacy, respect and praise for bodily beauty, plaster statues.

Marsen nodded convincingly... and said with a little emotion.

"It's a strange feeling that almost all of us have been raised up and given a place to live, and now we're doing this kind of fluffy work, like a pastry shop guard or a painting model..."

What is a fluffy job? Don't you think I should say anything fluffy? This one.

For now, let Crockie hang out with you and take a break. As for the unfamiliarity, it should be quite painful even if you don't move for 10 minutes, so I'm thinking of getting Crocky to model the gypsum statues first. However, because there are so many people, it seems like it will take time. But I want to work hard to make it a model for everyone. Aim, model group.

At the break, Mr Crowe made me tea. The gypsum statues are drinking tea and enjoying the fairy sweets that Ange brought along. It seems to be a fairy sweet, a prototype. It's like a pound cake I've never seen. It is kind of cute whether it contains strawberries or has a pink marble pattern.

While enjoying such a break, the gypsum statues seem to be having fun. Is it vibrant? Because of its vibrancy, or because of the tension in the muscles, it is an excellent model.

"I never thought I'd be able to live like this."

"I thought I'd finish my life in a Ziolen slave shop."

"I didn't expect a buyer. And put us all together!

Laocles is laughing at the bustling plaster statues.... for them, this laughing landscape may be close to what they used to do when they served their previous masters.

When I think about it, it makes me feel good to have them gathered. I'm glad they look happy.

... just at a time like that.

"After that, if we find Interlia....."

Mr Mersen sighed a little.

"Mr. Interlia?

When I heard back, Mr Mersen nodded.

"Almost all my friends are now. Some say they're finding a new lord and living happily there... but I don't know where the knight is, Interlia."

Marsen explains and sighs again.

"Interlia must have been hired by the Diorren family... but the Diorren family was in trouble. I still don't know where she is....."

I see. Interlia-san... Well, yes.

"Ah, they're on the run....."

As soon as I nodded convincingly, Mr. Mersen and all the other gypsum statues looked a little tight.

"And you know what!?

Eh, ah, yes.

When I answered, Marsen and the others all had an 'incredible' look of joy.

"... now Interlia is on a journey with Ziolen's daughter Hyoko Phoenix."

"Maybe Phoenix isn't a leopard anymore."

I see.... I didn't hate that round one either. "

"I think I'd be happy to tell that to my bird. That bird is also round....."

I looked at the window and said, No, because it's about that bird, I thought it wouldn't be strange to be outside the window. No, there were no birds...

"... I see. I don't know, but is Interlia happy for now?"

That's what Mr Mersen said and sat down in the chair like he was weak.

"Hahaha, what a strange thing. It seems that we are all involved in the corn, and we are all going to the good side."

I hope so.

I don't have that kind of power, but I would be very happy if we were lucky. Mm-hmm.

"I think Interlia will come back to this forest. Her husband seems to like this forest a little bit."

Carnelia, Interlia and Hyoko Phoenix, how are you?

With a little nostalgia, I felt that the day was not so far away, and I was somehow happy again.

Ever since I came to this world, I've only been happy. [M] Even though I can draw pictures... I never thought I'd be so happy to be involved with people.

Then I began to soak up the confectionery store. [M] Why, the reason is simple. To draw a plaster statue.

Sounds like fun.

"Yeah."

It's fun. It's so fun. I mean, there's no such thing as such a fine plaster statue. There was no living plaster statue in the original world in the first place. It's really nice to have so many nice people in this world!

Claire looks at me and giggles.

"When you look like you're having fun, I'm kind of having fun, too."

That's what Claire said, smiled and stared at me.

... my eyes were staring at me, and my clear green eyes were so beautiful... I noticed that I was a little blurry when I looked into Mr. Crowe's eyes, and I looked back at Mr. Crowe in a hurry, keeping a strong consciousness.

"... don't try to seduce me."

"Oh, have you been spotted?

Yeah, I know. The magic of Claire's temptations has been repeated several times. Looking at Krah with a little protest, Krah burst out laughing. "That's a nice face, too," he said. Hmm...

"I wonder if I fell into the magical arm of temptation while living in this forest... I know the magic of temptation doesn't work for you, but I can't believe you'll see it before it does."

And after making fun of me all of a sudden, Mr Crowe began to have a little trouble. No, I don't think the change in Mr. Crowe's arm is the bigger cause of my dropping out of the human race.

"But, um, Mr. Crowe. Much better than a bouquet man."

"Well, you're a lot better than that guy, but... oh?

Claire looks surprised there.

"What? Did he try to seduce you?

"Maybe..."

When I think about it, I really don't like it. Because I'm a man.... ah, did you really think I was a girl? I see... That guy's got a hole in his eye...

Should I train harder to avoid mistakes? [M] It would be impossible to become a plaster statue, but it would be better if it had a little more meat on it...

... when I was thinking about that, Claire looked a little steep in front of me.

"... Mr. Crowe?

Slowly peeking into Claire's voice, Claire raised her face like she was lost....

"... maybe this will be quite important."

Yes, I did.
