Episode 19: Wonderful Customer * 2

I didn't think it would be good to take Ange out at night, so I thought I'd go to the gallery with the fairies, but I was a little worried if I could handle it alone when something happened...

"Um, I'm sorry. Late at night....."

"... I don't mind, what's the matter?"

... I'm terribly sorry, but I got Laocles up.

Laocles was already asleep or about to go to bed, but when I knocked on the door and wandered around the window of his bedroom, he came out.I'm sorry...

"Ange was told by a fairy that 'a strange customer is coming to the gallery', so I thought I'd take a look..."

"Complete. Okay, wait three minutes."

Laocles replied two times and pulled me into the house, perhaps in less than three minutes he was equipped and came out.Fast...

"How do we move?"

"Um, may I have two Alicorn rides?It's safer to leave your hands free when something happens along the way. "

"I think that's better.All right. "

When Laocles stuck a little shield jewelry, an alicorn came out of it.

The hyena and tail, like the lightning spinning and threading, are blurry and very fantastic.It's beautiful whenever I look at it.

When you stroke around Alicorn's stomach, Alicorn shakes his tail a little and looks happy.The horses in the woods, too, but they like to be caressed.... Ange, Carnelia, Lyla, Claire, Princess Large, and then Interlia are the kinds of women who better take it than I do...

"All right, can you get in?"

"Yeah."

Laocles stroked her like a slight slap on Alicorn's neck, flickering and riding on her back.I had Laocles pull me a little, but I got on the Alicorn almost on my own.I'm getting used to riding horses.Alicorn is taller than any other horse, so it's still a bit difficult to ride.

Alicorn flies up into the sky and begins to fly.As it passes over the woods, it runs through the sky toward the Redgard family.

"The gallery... is near the Redgard house.Do you want to call Faye?

"Hmm... if there seems to be something wrong, I wonder.You look busy, and I'm sorry to wake you up when you're asleep...No, but maybe I should just leave a message to the fairy. "

On Alicorn, I quickly decided to give him the benefit of my free hands. [M]

I write a note on a thin piece of paper and give it to the fairies who were lurking in my pocket.When I explained to Faye, the fairies said, "I did it, I did it!'and received it with a little excitement.Thank you.

"... and yet, 'weird customer'?I wonder what the fairies call "weird". "

"Come on...."

In the meantime, I think it's really weird because fairies say "weird".I wonder if you've done quite a bit of flying.I'm looking forward to it.

"Whatever, don't let your guard down."

"Yeah."

While listening to Laocles's slightly nervous voice on his back, I looked up at the sky a bit... and thought it was a beautiful March.It's a sharp crescent moon that's going to pierce the sky.It's a bit like Laocles... No, if it were Laocles, it would feel even heavier.The moon is more like Claire....?Hmm...

"... if I were to take you to the gallery this evening, I would have preferred Mr. Crowe..."

"... I'm sure Claire would be better suited to sneaking in or looking for someone.But I can be an escort too. "

"Oh, no, that's not it."

I've never thought Laocles wouldn't depend on you.Really.

"If the strange customer is really just" weird ", there's no need to do anything else, and then he came out of the corner, and I thought I'd draw a little picture and come back..."

As I explained, Laocles sighed with astonishment after a beat.Yeah, I'm sorry.

"Laocles somehow drew it on the day of the full moon."

"... I see."

"Yeah."

Alicorn roars.Ah, Alicorn certainly looks good on the three-day moon.Yeah. Well, let me draw an alicorn.The Trent's place in front of the gallery is just right, so...Ah, when I thought about it, I started wanting to draw again...

"... strange customer, I hope you're a peaceful person"

In order to do that, we want our customers to be peaceful.I don't know.

"Not necessarily people in the first place....."

... ah, I see.Is that possible?Hmm...

Uh, well, then, don't be a person, so please make yourself at peace.

When we arrived at the gallery, fairies were moving around it.

"I wonder what happened."

As soon as the fairies realize our arrival, they will stop by strawberrying and tell us something.Unfortunately, neither I nor Laocles understand the words of the fairy.... I guess I should have brought Ange.Hmm...

"Well... there's no sense of urgency."

"Yeah."

However, the fairies don't seem nervous, and the gallery itself has not changed in any particular way, so... the possibility of a "peaceful opponent" is rising.I think I can be a little relieved.

While the fairies were talking secretly or glancing at the gallery, we decided not to enter the gallery...

"Come on in."

"Yeah, be careful."

I don't know what's there, so be careful... and if you find something unusual, you can draw it carefully...

Open the gallery door while greeting Trent and the others lightly.The door, which opened lightly for heavy construction, let us in without making a loud noise.

As Laocles walks a step further, I walk down the gallery hallway...

And when I entered the exhibition room,

There was one person standing there.

When I saw him, I first thought I was like a starry sky.

Dark dark blue hair with a little bit of blue added to the black, white skin like moonlight.Most of the things I was wearing were black, and at some point I wore metal that I wasn't sure whether it was gold or silver, and accessories made of magical jewelry that sparkled.

And my star-studded eyes were staring at my painting.

... someone with a night-like atmosphere, I don't know if it's a man or a woman.He's probably about the same height as me or a little below me. [M]

I didn't do anything except stare at the picture.It's not a popular gallery, so it's a little strange or weird...

This is a "weird customer."

"Well, good evening."

There was no sign of us turning around when we got close, so I decided to give it a try.

I didn't seem to have any kind of weapon, and I was just staring at the painting a lot, so as an author, I kind of noticed.

... when I call, the person turns away from the picture for the first time. [M]

For the first time, he noticed our presence, and looked at us in a bit of a hurry... looking at Laocles, he seemed a little vigilant.Yes. Laocles certainly has a lot of intimidation.

Laocles also seems to have realized that he is being alerted, so he accidentally corrects his residence and takes a 'slightly relaxed attitude'.It seemed like there was a gap when I was doing this, and it was difficult for me to be instinctively alert.By the way, it seems that Laocles was taught that by Mr. Mersen.

"Um... did you like that painting?

As Laocles transforms into a little less alert mode, I'll try calling him again.

My feelings are stronger than my vigilance.Because he's the one who's been staring at my paintings.

... but when I talked to him, he seemed a little confused.Somehow, you don't seem to understand the words.

Well, maybe this really doesn't make sense.

"Um, do you understand the words?

When I asked him, he only responded with confusing reactions.Well, I guess I don't understand the words.A foreigner.

... while we were talking, he glanced at the exit... and then headed for the exit.

"Ah, wait!

That's why I caught him by accident.

It felt kind of cool.I don't really feel anything that feels like body temperature.

... but I think the person I caught was more surprised than surprised.

"Ah, um..."

I'm surprised, I'm surprised, too.I wonder why you caught this guy, me.

... I don't understand a word, so I don't know what I can do when I get caught.

The man is likely to run away while I'm struggling. [M]That's why I...

"Laocles, take that painting off!

Speaking to Laocles, Laocles took the painting off the wall as convinced after a little wonder.

... that picture is a small one.The one painted on a canvas about the size of an open hardcover book.

It's not a magic painting, it's a watercolor painting.A picture of the forest during the day on a sunny day.A landscape painting of a day when the sun's light was scattered through the leaves of the trees and the leakage day was dazzling.

Laocles brought the painting to me.That's why I take it... and press it into the hands of the person I caught, but not the one I caught.

"Um, I'll give you this."

At first, the person was in a good mood.

Looking at me, looking at the painting, it seemed like I was curious about the painting, staring at the painting...

"I don't know if you like it.But somehow I feel like that, and I want people like that to take it. "

I give the painting with both hands. [M]

Can you take it?

... I don't think he understood the words, but he took the picture gently, looking like, "Is this okay?"

It makes me happy and makes me smile unexpectedly.It's kind of nice how people like the starry sky are holding pictures of the midday forest.

... and then he stood still and looked at the picture... and then he smiled.

Ah, this one laughs too, and if I was a little surprised, he sticks his hand in the part where he doesn't know exactly what the pocket of his clothes is... from there, he takes out something like a starry sky shard and puts it on my hand.

"Huh? Will you?

The other person said something.In a language I don't understand.

... I look back at Laocles, but as a matter of course Laocles didn't understand.No, I wonder what they said...

However, that person smiles like a smile and squeezes my hand. [M]

He said something, then... he ran off to the gallery.

... the rest of us left behind, looking a little gloomy, and seeing him leave.

Sure, he was a weird customer.

"... I wonder what it was, that guy"

"I don't know...."

"But I didn't seem like a bad person.The painting seemed to please me. "

I see. That's what I saw. "

Laocles exhaled for a long time to relieve the tension.

It seems that the attitude of showing that there is a gap is not really a gap, so I am very tired.Thank you very much.

"The other day, Laocles told me.Beauty can transcend the walls of the race.... if that's what he thinks, I'm glad. "

The man's face when I gave him the painting was a smile.

Assuming that even if I didn't understand the words, the expression would change in the same way, I think that person might have been happy.So, when you looked at my paintings, you liked them... maybe you felt something.

If that's the case, I'm glad.Even if I don't understand the words, I'm very happy to think that I might have understood something with a tool that is more familiar to me.

... yeah. It was a strange customer, but a happy customer.
