Episode 9: Fight Against the Demon King * 3

Then a few days.

We tried everything.

I tried using the prepared glue.

Rene happily brought me something like glue from my bones.

Once you're back in the country at noon, you can pick up pine grease and try making sticky rubber-shaped eye stoppers.

Mix very fine wood debris with something like lacquer that was in the country at night.

Try applying oil.Try emulsifying the oil.Try the carrots. Various.

... I tried various things, but as I tried them, it settled that it would be best to "apply the underlying material that combines the honey of the simmered moonlight and the glue."Somehow, the painted Demon King is quiet.The paint does not peel off because it does not blur.Moreover, the underlying material made of honey and glue is fairly elastic, and even if the Demon King moves slightly, it stretches and shrinks to fit.Can't peel. Still paints smooth. Excellent!

... the point is, I was worried that I could do it because I was putting color on the gelatin surface with a slightly unusual texture, but it seemed okay.

The light brush is very accommodating there... the paint on the light brush feels like it's made of light, so there's no problem fixing it...Mmm, it's a strange feeling. It's not oily or watery...

"All right... let's put it on right away."

Then we looked up at the end of the demon king under the tree in the blue sky and were delighted.

Leshu, Togo

Yeah. Good luck.

Again, Lene and the others will see us off and fly off the ground.

It's bright around here.

"It's just always dark around, and it's a bit embarrassing....."

Around the trees in the blue sky, the blue sky is spreading.Especially the blue sky tree has a small sun, and it seems to be spreading the blue sky.I think this sight is breathtaking beauty for everyone.

"That means... oh! Here's the Devil's End!"

"Really."

We didn't really know the boundary between the blue sky and the night sky in the sky near the tree of the blue sky... but when we looked at it from the ground, we found something that would be "a little bit of a boundary", and when we turned to it... fu.All right, it's definitely the Devil!

Well, the range is around here.

"Isn't that nice? It's going to work out like this... and even if this range turns blue, it's going to be a lot different."

Then, marking. A thin paper tape, like a masking tape, is slightly applied to the underlying material, and then it is stuck to the Demon King and divided into compartments.A little area separated from the Devil's End. All right.

All right, I'm going to paint it.

"I'm gonna paint it, too."

Lyla and I have a large brush with plenty of underlying material... and apply it to the Demon King.

As the foundation material was applied, the demon king trembled slightly at first.But that's all. Lyla hurriedly spreads the underlay.It goes on and on, and then it spreads over all the markings.

Be careful with him.

"Yeah, I know."

While listening to Laocles' words, I gradually applied the underlay.Glossy, mellow, and slightly glowing underlying material under the influence of moon honey.I will paint this on the Demon King.To avoid unevenness, apply vertically and horizontally...

"Alright, you've finished painting for now."

"It took me half a day...."

So we safely applied the foundation material to the Demon King.... well, part of it is...

"After all, when I think about wearing colors after this, it seems better to use rubber as the main ingredient than lacquer."

"I see.... if you paint on lacquer, the brush will wear out faster if you do it with a brush... isn't that what a light brush looks like?"

While we're talking, let's take a break.After the glue dries.

Then the next day.

We are also gathered under the trees of the blue sky, and today we are fully dressed as demon kings.

Well then, I'll make the base.

Yeah. Nice to meet you.

Today is a split day. Lyla goes down to another compartment and I dress up where the underlay was dry yesterday.

The brush of light contains plenty of empty colors... peta.

"... you look happy."

"Yeah, it's really easy to paint."

* Giggle *, the brush moves. The paint stretches.Excellent feeling! It's easier to draw than lacquer and, above all, much better than drawing directly on the Demon King's skin!

I became obsessed and even dyed the Demon King. [M]

... that's right.

Yes!

Successfully dyed everything in the marked range!

"Oh! You did it!"

That's a masterpiece.

The area there became empty, so somehow it was a bit strange to look up from the bottom. There is also a sense of accomplishment.

... but...

"... hmm? This is just a demon king that's turned empty."

Mm-hmm.

For some reason... even though I painted it, the Demon King didn't turn blue.

The partially blue sky demon king trembled.When it bursts, the sky waves.

... apparently, this isn't going to work.

"I thought there might be a hole..."

"Ah, empty range, circle."

In painting the Demon King, the empty area is circled so as to be connected from the end of the Demon King.I wonder if it's like a leaf with a buggered edge.

So... I was hoping that the range would be empty... but apparently that's not going to work.

"Can't you paint directly on an object?"

"No, when I made the gate, I painted the landscape directly at the location of the gate...."

Reason is the same as that.And when I made the gate of the forest, I put a cloth in the gate, and drew a painting directly therein.So once it worked, I don't think drawing directly onto things would interfere with the activation of magic...

"Well then, I wonder if it's the area to apply..."

"Hmm...."

... for now.

I feel stranded...

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

"Come on... hey, come on, don't be so depressed."

That night. We were sleepy in the castle room of the country at night.I lie down on the couch. [M] Lyla lay on her back in bed.Faye is tight in the chair. Laocles leaned against the door.The bird lost to gravity on the floor. I don't think so...

"Hah... I'm pretty tired, but it's not working.I know how corn feels, but I'm sorry. "

Lila's tight. I'm tight.... no, I'm exhausted.The work of even looking at the ceiling and applying underlying materials and paint.I can hear the hardships of the old painters who painted murals on the ceiling.Thank you very much...

"... ahh. It's pretty good that nothing happens because you've worked so hard."

"I'm sorry...."

I feel sorry for seeing Lyla sneaking and sneaking around.I'm so glad you could help me.I'm really sorry. I can't help it.

"No, I'm not blaming you... No, that's what I was saying. I'm sorry."

But Lyla got up immediately and said that... and then she sighed deeply.

"... well, let's cheer up. I'm sure there's something you're missing.If we don't get well... here. "

As Lyla said so, the door was knocked modestly.

"You're worried about Rene."

When Laocles gently opened the door, René's worried face slipped out of the gap.

"I'm sorry, I was so upset."

It's okay, the corn is not bad.The bad news is that the demon king won't empty it!

It seems that Rene has come to encourage us.He writes and shows powerful characters in his sketchbook.

In the meantime, I will try to make the Demon King completely empty.Then maybe it's time to put the sky back. "

There's nothing else to say, just write about it and I'll show it to Rene.

Rene is smiling, but... uhh, I'm worried. Here.

Is the Dragon King okay? Keep the council moving, and we're in this mess.Hasn't the Dragon King spoken ill?

And I know you're worried about Faye.

Even for the people of the Night Kingdom, "dressing up as a demon king" should have been a very big decision... and I'm sorry for not being able to make that big decision...

It's okay, the Dragon King is a solid dragon. So it's okay.

Rene writes that in a hurry... but if we don't succeed like this, the position of the Dragon King will get worse...

Don't worry about this.It's okay. No one will blame you for your failure.Originally, I didn't know if I could do something about the Demon King, and it was a mistake to blame the corn.

Even more so, I'm sorry to say to Rene... Tark, who appeared from behind Rene, said something with a little, a little, a little, a little.

Then Rene hurried to write and show the sketchbook as she remembered.

I completely forgot.It's time for dinner, so I came to call.Eat plenty and rest slowly. "

And then we had dinner, and then we had to let them stay again...

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

For now, why don't you paint the whole thing with the Devil King?

"But that's an incredible area, right?I wonder if it's realistic... Can you finish painting it in a year?Couldn't we start sealing our world before that? "

We are depressed.

Very depressed.

Even if Rene said, "Cheer up," we're depressed!

"I don't know what to do... do you want to paint the demon king like this?"

"Yeah... I feel like it's the only way..."

From now on, I'm going to paint that vast area, even more than 10 times or 20 times that area...Ugh, just thinking about it makes you feel a lot worse.

"... unusual."

In the meantime, a little tired Laocles said that.

"I've never seen you with a brush in your face that doesn't look like fun."

"... eh"

It's kind of sudden, but I feel like I've been told something very important, and I can't turn my head aggressively.

"Isn't that fun?"

"Eh... ah, yeah... that's right.I wonder if the feeling of tiredness is bigger than the feeling of fun. "

I don't really know myself, but I do.I'm holding a brush, but I'm not having fun.

I wonder why, but when I analyze it myself... maybe that's it.

"Somehow, rather than drawing, it's closer to work... because there's no change.Or simply because it's hard to paint the ceiling... hmm...? "

No, I don't understand it while I'm analyzing it.

I painted the demon king and emptied it.I wonder why it's not so fun right now, even though it's so fun in itself.Because you can't see where you're going? Because you're tired, because you're monotonous?

"... what do you mean?"

In the meantime, Lyla said with a little awkwardness.

"Suggest something and I'll tell you something....."

Mm-hmm.

"This isn't a picture, is it?"

... hmm?

"It's not paint. Here."
