The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

Episode 6: Our intercultural exchange * 5

After lunch, head to the town of the woods where you can sightsee again.

The town of the forest has a more relaxed and calm atmosphere than the town of Red Gard... but it's more advanced, Nakanji.No, mostly because of the gates.

Rene is still interested in the gate, diving through the gate, turning back, tilting her neck, and then coming back, looking around, tilting her neck... that's interesting.

Then, look at the copier Faye made and make it interesting, or look at the fields of Edamame and other crops and make it interesting.

The town of the forest is not a sightseeing spot, but there are a lot of strange things about it, and it seems that many things are unusual from people in the country at night.I'm glad Lene and Tark were happy.

After a rough look around the forest town, I stopped by the Forest Knights' Cabin.... oh my God, Tark and Laocles are hoping.

"I wanted to make arrangements while we were talking."

Wow, these Laocles are unusual. I want to draw them.

"That's why I'll borrow a little from Lord Talk. Ready?"

Laocles writes a letter on the book and shows it to Rene, while also getting permission.Rene gave me an understanding in two replies.

"... that's why you're going to the fairy first."

"I want to see"

And before Laocles says anything he doesn't understand, I make a proper statement of intent.

"I want to see it. I don't usually watch Laocles fight."

"... it won't be interesting to see."

"I want to draw."

I was told that I didn't understand much, so I made a proper statement of intent.

"That's right. I want to draw, too, okay?"

And with Lyla's backup shooting... Laocles is broken!

"... whatever you want, but you need Talk's permission."

Tark also said, "I want to see it.I want to draw. "And I got the pleasure of laughing.

... so Laocles and Tark were allowed to meet in the training room in the woodblock.

"... that's amazing."

Laocles, anyway, has a lot of human beauty.Holding your shield, swinging your sword, stepping in... while you move, your muscles move, your skin stretches and changes shape... wow. Anyway, it's amazing.

Anyway, something that looks hard and heavy moves with a lot of momentum.It is very difficult to paint and express this power. Rewarding.

When I saw the flesh and skin and the bones under them moving, I couldn't feel the plaster statue of Laocles.There is no plaster statue that moves so smoothly and changes shape, and... there is no plaster statue with such a pleasant expression!

"What kind of creature is Mr. Talk?Master Fai, do you know anything? "

"Come on... I'm starving, too.What the hell. Go on, you heard something from Rene... Ah, no.I didn't hear that. "

And Mr. Talk is amazing. We still don't know if Tark is a cloth or a transparent man... but how dare you fight a slender sword with one hand.That's right, it works like this...

As far as the twisting of the cloth is concerned, it appears that there is a human body inside.Amazing. Drawing Mr. Talk is a great study.I think that a cloth that behaves like a human body even though there is nothing inside can also be applied to sculpture.

... the state of the war looks like a five-point war. However, the contrast between Tark, who has completely different types from each other, and Laocles, who makes sharp thrusts while moving, and Laocles, who steps in and pushes while standing still, is really a picture.

"... corn looks fun!"

"Yes, it's so much fun."

"I can do it!Feeeeeee! "

Sketchbooks are getting buried.It's fun. It's fun.

... that's how it ended in an hour.Tark took a bottle several times, Laocles took a bottle several times. Fifty-fifty minutes.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"Yeah, it was really fun."

Laocles looked a little sorry, but seeing one more sketchbook of mine, he looked like, "That's more than anything."

It's getting a little late, but I think we should go to the fairy.

"Yeah, let's go. Let's go.... Renee, let's go!"

Nyah!

So we go to the fairy confectionery shop.Walking in the light of the slightly tilted sun makes Rene happy.

... and...

"Ri, iiiiiiiiing!Let's go!... * giggle * "

Rene cheered when she saw what was brought in.

... it was a three-stage plate or tray, or something like that.There is delicate lace paper and lots of small confectioneries on top of it.Um... it was in the collection of world history, right?It was on the introduction page of British culture... afternoon tea, that sort of thing.

Anyway, there are a lot of products lined up.

Fairy cookies and a little Madeleine.Buttercake with small shortcakes and plenty of honey pickled with tree nuts.Fruit jelly in a small glass container.Carrot cake with cream cheese cream.Chiffon cake with strawberry jam and strawberry-flavoured pudding.And yesterday's lemon tart with jelly of moonlight honey!

Everything except cookies and Madeleine is cut into small squares.The way they behaved... I don't think Rene could have done it anymore.

"Here you go! It's a goddamn set! Give it up!"

"Eat a lot."

Then two little waitresses came and served us tea.It seems that the fairy cafe where Carnelia came to help was getting bigger and bigger with more signage.

"Well done, greedy set, huh?Sure, that's how it feels. "

Faye quickly began to smile at them with three small cakes on her plate.We'll follow suit and eat each sweet we care about.

This kind of thing is fun and delicious to the eyes, and it's good.

"How do you like it?"

"Hey, Claire, is this profitable?"

Claire, who came to see us, smiled, and Lyla shouted impatiently beside me.

"Oh, are you okay without telling me? It won't take much trouble to cut and serve a large square cake.And then I made a square and cut it squarely, so there's less waste.Also, since I used a lot of cheap ingredients to make it under the name "Daily Changes," it would be more efficient than serving cake normally. "

That's it. I'll study.

"Besides, you look good, don't you?You know, it's like a noble tea party, right?Hey, Fei-kun, what do you think? "

"No, not even a noble tea party is as beautiful as this, Mr. Crowe."

Oh, I'm so glad.

I wonder if it feels very luxurious for people in this world to enjoy sweets and tea in this format, because you can get the thrill of nobility.Even with me, it feels like that.

That means that more customers are coming to enjoy this "fairy cafe yogurt set", and they will also be making money for it.... Mr. Crowe, I think you have the talent to run a confectionery store.

Rene-chan, what do you think?

Claire writes a sentence with a pen on the paper napkin and shows it to René, who keeps his eyes shining.

... then Rene wrote a letter on the paper napkin and replied.

It's so delicious, so beautiful, and so wonderful!

"You don't have to tell me that. I'm glad it's already on your face."

... certainly.

When I look at Rene's face, even if there are no other letters, I can almost tell you what I want to say...

After relaxing and enjoying the "Yogurasan Set", I was sneaked around where the fairies were making sweets.

Entering the employee backyard and peering gently through the window... the fairies were making a cake for fun inside.

A large square sponge, which seems to have been baked thinly on a large top plate, is lifted by the fairies with a few sticks.The blanket floated into the sky, and it puffed on the table and landed.On top of that, there was cream, strawberries on it, cream, and a sponge futon...

... fantastic views.

Incidentally, I was still staring at this state, and Lene nailed her cheeks with a red tide... but Tark did.I don't know, I think I liked this kind of thing.

When the fairies finished making one piece of cake, they waved their hands at our window, and Rene and Tark waved their hands (or gloves...).And then you can see the scenery of the fairies' work...

Hmm, unexpected.

"No skirt"

Wow?

And tonight, I want Rene wrapped in a dry futon and blanket.So before I left this morning, I dried the blanket and the futon in the sun and went out.

... and the futon was taken in by the horses in the evening, so now it's under my house.

I go into the house with René in my blanket... and lay it on the bed in the guest room.

"Here you go."

Once I put the rene in there and wrapped it in a blanket... it's okay.

"Phew...."

Rene is warming up in a blanket with a thick face.You look happy. Good. Good.

Well then, enjoy the futon.

So, I'm going to go back to my room...

"Uh-huh...."

I was stuck in Rene's lonely voice.Rene kept staring at me, slipped, and moved on the bed... and approached the edge.

... yeah.

Sleep with me?

Written and asked, Lene nodded with a smile.

... is Lene not just cold... is she lonely...?

I'm used to sleeping with Rene in one bed.But the beds are cramped. I should have made it a little bigger with you thinking about sleeping with me.

I looked at Rene, who was moving next to me, and she was lying facedown on the bed and placed a sketchbook between me and Rene's head.Light the bedside lamp and you're ready to write.

Quickly, I'll write "Not narrow?" and ask.Then Rene received a pencil from me and said, "It's a little narrow but fun!'. Well, that's good.

I'm going home tomorrow morning.Are you all right? It's a corner, so check your plans for tomorrow.Then Lene nodded, so that's it.

I gave Lene a pencil because she looked like she said something, and Lene wrote a soft letter under the letter I wrote.

I miss leaving here very much.This is a bright, warm, and very good world.I really want to stay longer and be in the light. "

... I see. It feels so happy, so sorry, so sad.

When I stopped not knowing what to say, Rene looked anxious and wrote a small letter in her sketchbook.

Doesn't Corn dislike us?

I wonder what happened.

The conversation suddenly switched, so I couldn't turn my head aggressively and would tilt my neck.Then Lene thought she was short of words and wrote another letter in her sketchbook.

We are the ones who are trying to push the Demon King into our world or grab creatures and get light.Enemies of this world. But don't you hate saying that you like this world?

After reading the letter, and looking at Rene's expression... I think I understand a little more why the Dragon King was worried.

They're in the Night Country, they're in the Day Country.That's why I'm worried about our help.

"I can't speak for the people of this world, so it's my personal opinion."

I'll show it in front of me and then I'll write in the sketchbook again.Hurry up, as soon as possible, because Rene is staring at me with a worried face. [M]

I don't care.I was trying to push the Demon King into your world, and feeding on creatures... I'm sure if someone I knew had been captured and killed, I would have felt different again, but now I don't think anything in particular. "

I don't think that's a good answer.But I can't say anything more, and I can't help it because I actually feel this way.

Rene looks at my answer and looks so depressed as if relieved and yet depressed again.

... when I saw Rene like that, I wanted to hear it.

If it's hard to answer, I hope so.

When I heard this, I thought Rene would feel bad, but I really wanted to ask.

How did Rene feel when he fed the creature a little?

Rene blinked slowly, then worried a bit... and took a pencil from me and started writing in her sketchbook.Apparently they'll answer. Besides, I'm relieved.

Eventually Lene finished writing and showed it to me. [M]

"It was the first time that a creature the size of a corn became the honey of the sun."

Huh?

Is that so?What a surprise... Ah, so if I had died over there, I would have been the big creature Lene had handled first.Yeah, no, that's why I'm not talking about anything.

... because I looked a little surprised, Rene smiled a little and explained.

Well, the last time the seal was unbroken was a long time ago.At that time, I wasn't born yet. "

Oh, yeah... yeah. Speaking of which, yes.It's kind of embarrassing. Seals are like a hundred years or something, so it's no wonder Rene wasn't born.

... by the way, how old is Rene?Is it as good as mine? [M]

Was there any creature before me that fed on the scallop?

Butterflies and mice. When the Dragon King came to our world to see how the seal was, he caught me.

It was smaller than I expected.Butterflies and mice.... yeah.

I heard that next time I would bring a human creature with a lot of magic.That's why I was prepared.It is the mission of the family of blue dragons to keep our world away from destruction. "

Lene lay her eyes down slightly, wandering her gaze to remember something, and gently, in a small letter, she wrote it in her sketchbook and showed it to me.

"But even if they hadn't caught us with corn, they might not have been able to feed us."

Didn't you hate butterflies, mice and bait?

I hated it, I was terrified.

Rene wrote and answered my question right away... and she looked like, 'I can finally say it.'

... I'm sure Rene has never been able to say this before.

Rene's job is to keep the night kingdom away from destruction.I read the first Red Gard's book and realized that the people of the Night Land managed to survive with great effort.I worked very hard to slow down the destruction a little.... part of it was Rene's job.

That's why Rene couldn't say she didn't like this job.If Rene doesn't do it, the Night Land will perish.That's why I couldn't say that I didn't like it or that I was afraid.

... I think it must have been painful.It is very painful to say that what I think is different from what the people around me think.The case is completely different, but somehow, I've felt the same thing before. Maybe.

I don't think I'm suitable for this kind of thing.Rather than feeding on blood and meat and harvesting the honey of the sun, it would be better to collect the pollen of the night flowers by hand to make crystals. "

Rene wrote with such momentum and... murmured something.I don't know what to say, so I just wait for Lene to write.

Then Rene wrote and wrote a letter... even though she was a little lost.

It's good to be here.I didn't think I had to sacrifice the creatures of this world anymore. "

René places the pencil on the sketchbook.We don't write in bed, we just face each other.

... I wonder what it's like for both of us to look at ourselves from the viewer's perspective.

Some people in the country of the day won't forgive what the people of the country of the night did, and some people in the country of the night won't trust the country of the day.

Of course, there are people in the country during the day who say that it is safer to seal the country during the night again, and of course there are people in the country during the night who say that it is better to grab all the places where people in the country during the day are alarmed and feed them to the sun.

I'm sure it's not a mistake to feed or despise each other, day or night.

... but after all, we don't like that.

Maybe there's a way we don't have to sacrifice each other.Then I'd like to bet on it.

"... I'll try my best to dress up as the Demon King"

That's what I said before I wrote in my sketchbook. [M]Rene reads it... and when she gently takes a pencil from me, Rene starts writing letters as well.

There is little we can do here, but I will do my best to support you.I'm sorry I just relied on you. I will definitely repay you one day.

... that's what Rene wrote... and then, looking at my face, he wrote another sentence with an embarrassing smile on his face.

So until then, please get along.

We said "good night" to each other (I think "goodnight" is what Rene said), and we dived into the blanket.

When I heard Lene say "fuya" small, I thought once again that I was right to bring Lene here, and I decided to sleep as it is.

Then the next morning.

If you leave the darkroom, you can send birds to the moon 24 hours a day.

We covered the altar with a large tent, and sprinkled the honey of the moon's light in it, and floated the bird that had been made into a three-day moon with the honey of the moon's light, and watched Rene singing and turning around.

At first, I tried to use this magic, but I said, "I got to go!I'll take care of the return!Lene insisted, and Tark insisted, "I want to see that Trisan becomes the third moon." So Lene used magic, and the bird became the third moon.

... the birds look a little dissatisfied.Probably because of the small area of glow.No, it's fine. Even if it doesn't shine like that.

René's magic succeeded successfully, and we entered the pillars of light and returned to the land of night.

From there, fly back to the castle... and return to the Dragon King.

"Ahmmh, homiya!I don't know! "

Rene ran to the Dragon King... and took the luggage carried on his back to the Dragon King.

The Dragon King was relieved to see us back.Then he smiled a little and took the luggage from Rene.

All the luggage is a souvenir.

... it seems that many of the things in the country during the day were unusual, and Rene chose a souvenir for the Dragon King, focusing on food items such as tea, bread, ham and cheese, jams of fruit, and fairy cakes.The state seemed fun, and we were happy watching it.

"Dragon King, from us too.... souvenirs."

When I hand over the cloth wrap, the Dragon King takes it strangely. [M]Next to that, Rene says, "Momyakyu?I said, "Souvenirs," and I said cheerfully, "Momi!". Yeah, it's a shame.

... the souvenir from here is a bamboo tube filled with the honey of the moonlight.The Dragon King unwrapped the cloth, looked at the shining bamboo tube inside, and sparkled his eyes.I'm sure they need people in this world more than we do.

"... iiiiiiiiiiiiiing"

And... it seems that the Dragon King was interested not only in the bamboo tube, but also in the cloth.Looking at the cloth as if it were merciful.

The cloth is indigo dyed. Lightly dyed, light green cloth.I used the one Lyla dyed.

Beautiful color. Is that the color of your sky?

The Dragon King showed it to me in his notebook.So I'll answer in a sketchbook, too.

It's closer to the color of water than the color of the sky.

Then the Dragon King unexpectedly broke his face... and wrote to me like this.

Does water make such a color in your world?I definitely want to see it. If the demon King's threat disappears... no, but if not, I want you to let me visit your world too. "

... yes! Please!

Let me spend that day in the castle of the country at night, and the next day.

At breakfast, the Dragon King offered me this.

"It has the approval of Parliament.It's too urgent, but this is the world that Demon Kings invade every day.Hurry up the day. Thank you very much.

... I'm finally going to start wearing the Demon King.
