Episode 21: Because there is something that makes sense * 1

This is the second time I've seen a tree in the blue sky.

... but when I first saw it, my feelings were completely different...

"... so beautiful."

Overwhelmed by the size of a tree reaching up to heaven.

I am impressed by the breadth of the branches that stretch to cover the sky.

And above all... a clear blue sky color.To that brightness. Light... can save you.

A small hour of flying in the dark, just nothing.... it's only been an hour. However, it seems that during that little hour we were accustomed to the darkness, tired and worried.

And when I stood under the tree of the blue sky, and saw the bright blue sky color and the dazzling light, I was very relieved.I feel that peace of mind is greater when there is light than when I arrive at a place I know.

Your frozen and stiff fingertips, your invisible feeling of blockage, and the feeling of loneliness blowing in the cold night breeze are all melting away.

"... creatures can't live without light."

Somehow, I think so. I may be rude to the people who live in this world... but I can't live in this world.We cannot live unless there is a world of day as well as night.

The dark and cold world is too lonely.... if you stand under a blue sky tree with warm lights like this once, you'll think so too much.When you touch the warmth, it's a bit painful to go back into the night again.

"... a lonely world."

"... yeah"

We decided to rest there for a while.

I don't think you should get used to the light much, but I can't get out of here anyway.

... so did Rene.Or is Lene accustomed to this feeling?

... I wonder what it's like to be in this world for years.

"Um, here it is..."

Then we decided to leave without further ado.I can't stay very long. I have to go see Rene soon.Because I'm sure I don't have time.

"Oh, what is this?"

"When Lene touched this, a polka dot came out."

"What is a polka dot...."

At the tip of the island, there is something like a small stone tablet.I try to touch it, but it's not like when Rene did it.The polka dots didn't come out. That's funny.

"Hmm...? Do you need magic separately?Hey, Corn, do you have any idea what the key is? "

Fay asks as he touches the stone tablet.Uh, keys, keys... ah.

"Um... ah, is that what this is about?"

But then I took Lene's scale and put it on a stone tablet....

"Oops! I'm here!"

"I didn't know it was really a polka dot...."

Outside the island, the water rises softly from the lake, and the universe becomes soft and round... so we have balls the size of which we can put!

"Great. All right, let's go in. I'll let you in when I get there."

"Hey, are you going in this? Are you okay?"

"Yes - I'm the first!"

I'm the second rider!

"Don't be shy."

... so when we all get inside the balls... the balls move slowly and fluffily.

It floats into space and sinks into the lake...

"Ahh, ahhhhh! It's sinking! It's sinking!"

Relax, Lyla.

Lyla was panicking, but by the time the polka dot completely sank to the bottom of the water, she had regained her calm.

... when you calm down, you'll see the water floor and the water surface you're looking up at.

"... wow"

"Ooh."

Lila, Fei, Laocles, and the birds.

Everyone was instantly taken away by the scenery of the polka dot trip.

The clear water swings through and reflects the moon's light, creating a pattern like a mesh of constant light.And the moon's light, knitted on the surface of the water, fell down to the bottom, and sparkled upon the white sand of the bottom of the water.

Is it because of clear water and white sand, or because there are no trees or buildings that block the moon's light... this place feels much brighter than the ground.

It's beautiful.

"... it's really beautiful. Wow."

Lyla looked up at the surface of the water, where she seemed completely taken away by the wavering light.I know. It's so beautiful.You want to draw, right?

"Heh... ah, something weird is falling.What? That. Aquatic? It's not the same.... hmm? What is that? It's in the shell... jelly?Hmm? Is that a creature? "

Faye is obsessed with underwater plants and creatures.The creatures of the night kingdom are kind of... a little strange.Yeah. No, it may have evolved to adapt to less light.

But... when I see a strangely powdery cotton-haired aquatic grass shaking with light, or a creature inside a shellfish that I don't know if it's a slime or a loser, I want to say that it's... weird. Yeah.

"... well done. I know why you want to draw it."

That's what Laocles said and looked at me. [M]Of course, I already have a sketchbook with me.Yeah, of course. Of course.

As our balls move, a small bubble rises to the surface.It also reflects light and shines white.

... it's beautiful.

Speaking of which, did Lene remember the word "beautiful" here?You surprised me. Rene suddenly said, "Beautiful!because I started to say, I wonder if Rene was surprised when I started saying, "Phew."

... Rene, how are you?

That's how the polka dot trip ends.

The polka dots entered the waterway from the lake and gradually progressed through the waterway.

"... can I come?"

"Yes, as soon as we get out of the polka dot, we'll head towards our left hand.So I went up the stairs, up the stairs, through the hallway, up the stairs, down the hallway, and then I went into René's room. "

I remember the map of the castle in my head.

I've been in René's room for most of my stay, so I don't know what's going on in the castle.However, I think I know everything from the fountain in the courtyard to Rene's room.

"Er... I don't know what you're talking about.You're in the lead, Corn. "

"No, I'll take the lead."

"Eh? Laocles, do you know the way?"

"... I don't know. If you'd gone before me, there wouldn't have been any point in guarding me."

Really?... well, that's fine.

Yeah, well, if you think about it, we're trespassers.Yeah. It could turn into a situation that requires escorts...

At last, the polka dots went up on the ground.

Through the aisle, under the fountain, it lights up all at once... and outside the fountain, in the courtyard, polka dots arrive.

Fufu, as soon as the polka dots hit the ground, the polka dots were gone.We watch it... and we start moving quickly and gently.

The lead is Laocles. I'll be right behind you.Then Lyla will follow her carefully so that Faye can release the Summoner at any time.

... and a bird at the end.

Glowing birds.

... yeah.

There's no point in acting in hiding...

Still lucky, we were able to get into the castle safely, as we became a brilliant giant bird party.

And as I remember, I went up the stairs, up the hallway.

"... it's beautiful here too"

"Yeah, it's really beautiful here.But last time, I didn't have time to draw. "

I think the beauty of the hallway is the best of this castle.

Glass ceilings and walls spare no effort in the moon's light, illuminating the marble floor with silver inlays.It is bright enough that our shadow falls clearly on the floor.

... the combination of clear light and moon light is somehow similar to the polo trip we've just had.

And you can see the courtyard from here.There are lots of flowers in the courtyard that shine brightly.

Now that I've read the book, I understand that they are plants that have been bred to increase light, and that by growing them, the people of the Night Nation are somehow alive.

"We don't have time to draw anymore."

"Oh, I know."

Laocles made me think about the view of the hallway.Beth, I wasn't thinking about drawing anything else.

So we arrived in front of René's room.It's okay. The color and shape of this door are as I remember.Lene is up ahead.

... while everyone watches me, I'm kind of nervous, knocking on the door...

"... that"

But there was no reply.

... yeah.

After careful consideration, there was no guarantee that Rene would be in this room all the time!

"I don't know what to do...."

"Do you have any other idea where Rene is?"

"Nothing."

After all, I was really in Rene's room all the time.I don't know where Lene was going, and I don't know what Lene was doing...

"Well... maybe I'll come back to this room, so I guess I'll just have to wait for one hand..."

"... won't we be able to find him before Rene gets back?"

That's right. I feel like it.Especially since the birds are shining.No, it's not Kyokyo.It's very conspicuous, you. Don't brag.I didn't praise you. I didn't praise you.

... that's when we were trying to figure out what to do.

Hiya

Suddenly, my ankle got caught. [M]

As soon as I saw what it was, I looked at my feet... there was nothing there.

... but there was something in my mind, so I called towards the gap between the doors of the room.

"... talc?"

Then, a low voice gently called out my name... from the gap under the door, and the end of the cloth came out.

... I did it! I met someone I know!

I was happy. [M] Of course, I'm happy to meet a few people in a world I don't know.

... but Mr. Talk was acting strange.

First of all, it looks like the cloth has been ripped off.It looks like a piece of cloth is here right now.

When I raised my hand towards Mr. Tark's cut edge, Mr. Tark's cut edge stopped by in a weak state and slightly climbed onto my hand.Ah, it's getting so small...!

How can I heal Mr. Talk?... when I thought about it a little bit, Mr. Talk moved around on my hand... towards the bird.

... yeah.

"Go ahead."

When I brought Tark to the bird, Tark gently stuck to the bird... perhaps the honey of the moon light that was on the surface of the bird got tangled into his body.

Then, Mr. Tark glowed... and Mr. Tark started moving much better than before.The cut edge of the cloth moves.It moves effortlessly. I'm glad you're feeling better!

"Corn. You."

"Mr. Tark, I think it's Rene's mistake..."

"People... are you lying, cloth?"

Everyone seems to be curious about Mr. Talk's identity, but I don't know it either, so it's troublesome to ask.Besides, it's not a good time right now.

"Talk. Where's Rene? Where's Rene?"

Mr. Tark doesn't understand my words, but he seems to have understood "Tark" and "Rene".Tark made us look around a bit, then made us look like we were thinking a little bit... and...

"This way?"

Tark began to pull my finger on my hand.

... apparently they'll show me to Rene.

We keep going up the stairs.Crossing the hallway, sometimes pulled by a bird that detects signs of people coming from across the street, hiding in the right room, then proceeding again, up the stairs, up the stairs, up the stairs, down the stairs...

If you're going up the stairs thinking you're going a lot higher... huh, the wind is stroking us.

I went out on the roof.

... under the starry sky, we're still moving on. It's just...

"Hey, there's a guard..."

Needless to say, Laocles has guards.Wearing a coat like a long, slippery robe and armor underneath it... like a soldier.

Oh no. We'll find it. We've got a very prominent bird here!If such a big, round, shiny bird were walking bragging, it would already stand out!

Well, what do we do?

When I spoke to Tark, Tark made a small tongue in my hand (I wonder where the tongue is...) and then said something in the first place.

... suddenly, the shadow of the soldier stretched and strangled the soldier.

Soldiers were shouting voices that didn't make any noise... but eventually they fainted and collapsed on the spot.

At the same time, Mr Talk squeezed in my hand. [M] Good work. Thank you.

While Tark is on the bird again to replenish the light, we will proceed under Tark's guidance.

Heading further from the rooftop... is a small tower.

Some of the soldiers were stunned along the way. I'm sorry.

Then we run through the fallen soldiers... and finally we reach the entrance to the small tower.

But...

"Ah, that, it won't open."

I'll try, but the door won't open.Looks like it's locked.

I looked at Laocles with the feeling that it could be broken, but he shook his head sideways in silence.That's true, right?You can't break a door made of steel like this, even a boulder Laocles.

Then I thought I'd be able to unlock it... but this door has no keyhole!Now, even if Mr. Crowe had been here, he wouldn't have been able to open this door.

"What should I do... you know, Talk. Do you want to open this?"

After all, I asked Mr. Tark, but even Mr. Tark doesn't know how to open this door.... you can't open it yourself, so you need our help, right?

... I pointed to the door and said, "Rene?I asked Mr. Talk.Then Mr. Talk nodded many times in the shape of a piece of cloth.After all, it seems that there is Lene in here.

Right. Well, uh, this tower, the window... yeah. No.

"Hey, can you break this?"

"There's nothing you can't break... but if you break it badly, it collapses.Besides, I have never seen this material.How cold. What is this? "

I asked Laocles, but it seems difficult to break this tower.

I don't really know what wood is, it's made of a strangely glossy material... but when I touch it, I feel a little uncomfortable. Unknown material.

"What do you want me to do? I can't even burn it..."

That's right. It'll burn down to Rene. That's no good.

So....

... yeah. I can't help it.

I'm already drawing windows.

"You can do this kind of thing, so it's convenient..."

I began to paint the tower in such a way that I could not see the inside of the window, so as not to affect the inside.

... that's how the window came out. Uh, I don't know what's going on inside the tower, so take a higher position.

The window is up and Mr. Talk is jumping in my hand. [M]Thank you so much for your pleasure.

... and you hear a little scream from inside the tower.Maybe you were surprised by the sudden windows.

And... from the new window, I peek inside.

Renee!

Speak up happy to find a familiar face.Then Rene looked up at the window and found me... and brightened her face.

Ugh!

I waved at Rene.Rene also looked back at me a lot.

Good to see you!
