Episode 3: Our intercultural exchange * 2

We were quickly taken by René to the town of the country at night.

Mr. Tark is here with Rene.He must be Lene's escort, so, well, of course.

"Wow... I really feel like a country at night."

It's beautiful.

And we walk looking at the streets of the country at night.

... dark stone cobblestone roads followed by gas lamps lining both sides of the road.Maybe it's like a magic stone lamp.

Buildings lined up on either side of the road can be shops or private homes.However, there were few lights leaking out of each building, and small flower beds and plants in front of the building were planted with glowing flowers.I think it means taking the magic of light at all.

I walk down the cobblestone path, watching a light yellow shiny flower fluffy like a moongrass. [M]

As you walk, you also see people.

It's just... people are unusual, or are they absent?

It's like a barbecued doll, a plump ginger that I don't know about, or just dressed up in a body that looks like a shadow...I think Rene and the Dragon King are in a similar shape to humans.

Are you having fun?

While walking around town, Rene asks me that in a sketchbook.

It's so much fun! There's so much I don't know.I want to draw everything.

Therefore, I will reply as well. Then Rene smiled and said something with joy and relieved.Maybe it's 'good' or something like that.

"Hey, it's like a silver box with candles in front of the house just now.It seemed like it was shining inside.

It's a device that gathers the light of the stars and moon.If you keep it outside for a long time, you'll get about 10 days of light. "

Lyla also enjoys sightseeing in the country at night, asking Lene questions.

What kind of cotton candy is that?

What's wrong? You mean the nebula coming out of that chimney?It's called a nebula, which melts the star debris and makes it boil to smoke. "

What are you talking about? Are the stars coming down?

It's a fine fragment of light. It comes down from the sky and piles up.The demon King's meal is zero. "

Faye also raised her voice as if she was impressed.I see. The Devil eats zero...

There are many species living in this country.

The species gathered in search of light everywhere managed to live in a narrow place.Well, it's working. It's not like we're fighting over each other.

Laocles and Tark interact like that... this is not a sketchbook, but a small notebook.... I wonder if sketchbooks are childish.Or do you want to talk about something hidden...?

As we walk through town in this way, the people on the road will naturally notice us.

They are strangely inclined to look at us.And when he saw Lene, he panicked and lowered his head deeply.... after all, I wonder if Rene is a great person.

"Rene"

Wayahhhh?

I was curious, so I decided to ask Rene clearly.

Is Rene a child of the Dragon King?

Rene blinked a little and then giggled.

No, the Dragon King is a white dragon.It's not a blue dragon.

Oh, I see. If that's what they say...

... there were rumors that the Red Dragon betrayed, but the country was ruled by white dragons, and the red, blue, and yellow dragons helped it... But because of the demon king's invasion, white became gray and blue became dark blue.... so the yellow dragon turns into a brown dragon. Hmm.

So, isn't Rene royalty?

"Yes, no, the royal family is only white dragons."

I see. Somehow, I thought Rene might be a prince or a princess, but... it wasn't. Yeah.

There are fewer dragons.Blue Dragons only have themselves and their distant relatives.There are only a few white dragons left with the former king and minister.The yellow dragon is a little more.

Then Lene explained the dragon situation in the country at night.

The dragons are all here to help with the work of this country.The blue dragon is working to increase the light.

The job of increasing light... means planting glowing flowers, collecting star debris and turning it into a nebula?

It was the ancestors of the blue dragon who created a way to catch the creatures of the world of corn and honey the sun's light.Protecting the blue sky tree is also a blue dragon.Now, it's my job to take care of the trees in the blue sky, and distant relatives are doing other research. "

Narrator. … Does that mean that Rene was doing that kind of work while I was in Rene's room?

So the Dragon King told me to feed on the creature he caught and use it to get the honey of the sun.

Rene looks a little sad.... I see. It's Rene's job to feed her just a little and get a nice honey as part of the blue sky tree.

But I didn't want to feed the corn.That's why I brought him home.And the Dragon King made me angry.

I'm sorry for your help.I mean... I'm sure that's why Rene and Tark have terrible eyes...

Were you angry when you were in that cold tower?

When I ask, Rene hurries and writes and shows me the letters.

You don't have to worry about corn!Our dragons won't hurt each other as much as possible.It's a small number, so I won't kill you. It's okay.

Rene would say that... but I can't help feeling sorry for showing me the sketchbook and saying, "It's okay."

But it was cold, right? It was a cold place where the light would be sucked away. "

"Yes, the Tower of Darkness is a tower that draws the magic of light from the creatures inside.It was a bit cold.

... it was a bit cold, and when I looked at Rene in a small letter that tends to be reluctant, I couldn't help it anymore.

So... I grabbed Rene's hand.

Lene was surprised at first, but within that, her hands, which were lower than mine, calmed down and settled in my hands.

Phew!

Rene laughs happily and walks out with her hands tied. [M]When I watched the situation, I was kind of happy, and I said, "Warm?I thought I'd ask... but I'm in trouble.I can't hold a pencil.

We can't communicate if one hand is blocked.If you accidentally connect your hands, you won't be able to hold a pencil or a sketchbook...

... yeah, but it doesn't have to be.

Phew?

Pretend it!

Speaking of which, we said, "Warm? ', you didn't have to take care of the translator and the text!

Then we went around the town at night.

The store that Rene showed me was a shop specializing in lamps.There were lots of lamps on the shelves and desks, lots of beautiful crafted lamps hanging from the ceilings and walls, and it was kind of a stunning view.

The lamp, which was covered like a lace workmanship made of pure white porcelain, had a very beautiful falling shadow, and the lamp, which was stamped like a silver fish scale, was a mystery that the light reflected on the scale was slightly amplified and came out.It's like a big chandelier with lots of glazing lamps in it.

There are many things in the lamp, some lighting the oil, and some magic stone lamps.And then there's the lamp with the stardust, and it's so beautiful again!What a fantastic view of a small star-shaped shard dancing fluffily in the glass cover.

"Wow...."

"I want to draw..."

When Lila and I got together and tied to the lamp, Rene nodded happily, then talked to the shop people about something... and showed us the sketchbook.

They say you can draw!

Thank you, Rene! You're the best!

I even painted at the lamp shop.

Lyla sketched out the lamps one by one, and I had the whole store painted with magic paintings.

It's already fun and fun...

"Hey, Corn."

"Yeah."

"It's already daylight. It's night."

What, it's already that time!?

... when I looked at the clock, it was already past noon.No, it's night outside.

So, there's no choice. We thanked the rambler and gave him a bouquet of sunflowers.

I drew it out thinking that it would make me feel a little brighter because of the sunflower... but the sunflower was shining.The person at the store was surprised. I was surprised, too.

... I see. My magic is filled with the magic of light, what is it?

Does that mean that if something is accidentally released, it may glow in this world...?

Be careful...

I decided to eat at Tark's recommended restaurant.... I think Tark is more familiar with this town than René.I wonder if Rene doesn't leave the castle much.

"Wow! This juice is glowing!"

"Hey, is this okay? Can you drink it?"

"It was delicious."

"I wonder if you've been drinking..."

In the meantime, after seeing our reaction, Mr. Talk seemed to be having a good time.I don't know if it's porridge or soup or stewed porridge for glowing juice.Fruit like a glowing star. Bread featuring meat and edible flowers.It's a menu like this, but it's all intercultural, and everybody was excited.I'm a little used to it, but somehow superior...

All the food is delicious. It glows, but from the people of this world, it's like nutrient supplementation, and it's a little fun to think so.

The guy who didn't know whether it was soup or stewed porridge had a good flavor of herbs and never got tired of it.Meat and flower bread are kind of milky, very soft and strange flavors.The flowers are shiny, crispy and delicious. And...

"I wonder what this crispy star-like fruit is.I really like this flavor. "

Lyla is eating a slightly shiny, star-shaped kiwi-like fruit.I ate in Rene's room, too.Crunchy teeth are deliberately squeaky and sour.Really? Lila really likes this flavor.Though quite sour...

This is a star snail. When I do it to a cat, I get drunk while shining. "

"I definitely want to try."

I want to see a cat drunk with light.So, I want to see the glowing cat.

... if I thought...

"... I'm practicing."

The bird took the star snail from my plate. [M]Crunchy and crispy, and then... "Are you drunk?I tilted my neck with a face like '.Yeah, you're not a cat.

"It's glowing....."

"If you think I dropped the honey..."

Last night, the bird dropped its honey in the baths and became completely clean and glowing, but now it's glowing again because it ate star snails. What the hell is this?

... I wonder if this bird likes to shine?

After finishing some strange meal, Faye said, "The meat I just ate is really delicious!Oh, I want it as a souvenir! After that, I went to the butcher's.

... I knew it, but it wasn't like beef, chicken, or pork, but something like "Bunny Rabbit Breast", "Moonlight Frog Thigh Meat", "Crystal Snake Cut", "Mmm Bony Meat", etc.Incidentally, it seems that the delicious meat that I just ate at the restaurant was milk-bird meat. That's a convincing name.

Since the patties of milkbird meat were for sale, Fay would buy them... and realize he didn't have any money in the first place.

No, because we don't have any money in this world.

... but Mr. Tark checks in quickly with his natural movements and gives Faye a bottle of milkbird patties. Smart.

No, but that's not how it works.We are customers, but we are also friends, and I know that friends don't owe money to each other.

... yeah.

"Um, Rene."

Wayahhhh?

I followed René and asked him.

"What is it that sells high and doesn't disrupt the market?"

Then I made a lot of star-shaped gems and bagged them.Rene was twitching her eyes with a groan, and Tark was laughing so hard.It seems that selling golden objects stimulated Tark's laughter. I don't know.

Even in the country at night, there is demand for magic stones. Especially, it seems that there is a lot of magic in my magic. Including such points, Tark told me that it will be very expensive.So, to avoid becoming too expensive, the size is modest and rough.

... by the way, the star shape seems to be popular in this world.In this world, the stars and moon are symbols of light.

If Tark sells star-shaped jewelry at a store that he introduced to me as "a good place to do this," and turns it into money, I got a sum of money that I think would be no trouble with.Money in the country at night is a coin with a strange pattern engraved on it, and somehow there is an exotic feeling in this kind of place.

Especially the design of gold coins is good.The gold coins... are engraved with the sun.In this world, the sun seems to be a fictional existence, a legendary existence, or something like that... but the design is really elaborate.

It conveys a lot of longing.No one else would have seen such a beautifully designed emblem of the sun.This design is only born in a country that admires the sun at night. I'm sure.

Then I visited several other shops recommended by Mr. Tark.

... it seems that the shop that Tark will take you to is for ordinary people.The lamp shop Rene taught me was probably a royal shop, but it was a little different.

There are lots of jewelry and metals in shops selling ornaments… cloth, wooden carvings, accessories with different materials.For that matter, it's cluttery and sparkly, and this is an interesting atmosphere. I want to draw it.

Mr. Tark seems to have a better face here than René.Tark called the shop staff and we were able to paint without getting in the way of the end of the shop.

This product is so cute.

"Do you like it?"

"Well, yeah, I don't hate it.... well, I'm just looking at it because it doesn't suit me. "

Lyla is sketching the entire shelf while looking at the accessories lined up there.This time, I painted the whole store with magic paintings... and sometimes I had Lyla at my disposal.

... somehow, if you look at the one with the most drawings, you'll see.

"It's unusual for you to get rid of the art before Lyla."

"Yeah."

Laocles was surprised, but I cleared it up a little early. [M]Then, among the accessories lined up on the shelf, I took the one that Lila had drawn most.

It was a ribbon with a white embroidery pattern on a stunning deep blue ground, a bronze metal ornament attached to the ribbon knot, and an undersized jewel at the center of the ornament.I don't know, but maybe it's stuck to my hair.... I think so.

The colour looks like Lyla. I think it suits her.

... so I bought it.No, come on, this is what Lyla wants, and she'll put up with it right away.

Maybe I was trying to endure going to the country this evening.That's why... I was wondering if this kind of thing would be okay.

Lyla, who had been painting longer than me, was in a hurry to get rid of it when she realized that I was finished.... it's a little fresh because I'm always on the rush side. [M]

"Lyla, this."

Eh?

I'll put out the ribbon there.Lyla turned her eyes and looked at me and the ribbon alternately.

Well, what's wrong with this?

Because I felt it suited me.

"For me? I stopped spending money on that....."

"That said, I only spend money in this country on errands....."

Lyla's attitude was definitely that of butt penetration or reluctance.But I already bought it.It doesn't suit me. [M]

... so when I gave Lyla the ribbon, Lyla was confused... but eventually she smiled a little and said thank you.

When I saw that face, I thought, oh, I want to draw it.Yeah. Could you do that face again...

"Because of you, I thought you said I was wearing this or that I wanted to draw it."

"Ah, yeah, I want to draw that."

I definitely want to paint it. I want to paint it with that expression on my face, and even without it, Lyla is a precious accessory type wearer.

By the way, I wonder if this decoration can be worn on hair knots, this one.Then I think it would be better to draw it at an angle from the diagonal back.Lyla now has chestnut hair on her ponytail.By the way, this haircut seems to be popular with the forest horses.I wonder. I wonder if there's a feeling of intimacy.

... and then I painted again in a park-like place, again in a mirror shop, and it took a lot of time to do so, so our evening tour of the country ended.

It's fun to touch different cultures.I could draw a lot of things.I saw a lot of things.

I thought it was fun, so I went home.I was grabbed by the Phoenix, Faye by the Fire Spirit, Laocles by Alicorn, and Lyla by the Bird.Tark and Rene could fly on their own... but Laocles, who found Rene a little in love with Alicorn, decided to ride with Rene.Rene is excited about being put on an alicorn.

I hope this tour will also be fun for Rene.

Because of me, Lene was trapped in a dark and cold place, and even if it wasn't, she didn't usually go out of the castle.

It was fun.

As he flies through the sky, Faye talks.My Phoenix and Fei's Fire Spirit are smart, so when we start talking, they'll do the flying to reduce the sound of the feathers. Thank you.

"I can't imagine the country at night.Eater monsters are changing, people are changing.... "

Well, that's right. Glowing foods and barbecued people are not seen in the country during the day.

"Nice place. Here."

"Yeah."

I looked up at the sky while agreeing with Fay.... the sky is as nightly as ever.In other words, the sky was eaten by the Demon King.

"... the demon king, I have to do something about it"

... yeah, yeah.

I don't want this strange and fun world to be destroyed.That's why we have to deal with the demon king of this world.As soon as possible...

But...

"Well, let's keep pace with the country at night.These people are surprised when the Demon King suddenly becomes empty. "

"Yeah."

... it's not good to rush too fast.We have to keep pace with them.We're also intercultural, but that's the same for the people of the Night Land.

"In the meantime, do you want to go back once? I want you to report it to my father."

Yeah, let's do that.

It took five days, so we decided to go back to the country at noon once.I want to report it to everyone, and...

"... um..."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

I'll make a suggestion to Faye.

Can I take Rene and the others home, too?
