Episode 6: Reliability and Trust * 5

"... what is a medal to me?"

Don't you like it?

"No, I think it's an honor, but... why?"

Laocles is amazing. Even if he's confused, he speaks properly. Okay.

"Well... ultimately, to set a trap."

And, mercilessly, the words came to confuse Laocles even more!

"I don't know where Argent is going to start hitting if I leave this alone.If the enemy is someone other than Argent, it would be premature.Then maybe we can arrange that opportunity here, so I made an agreement with the aristocracy union last night. "

Oh, I've been in a meeting all night. Good work.

"So, well... just to announce that 'Lucius Zeil Argent is in prison because he tried to harm the King' doesn't have any flowers.At the corner, the people's hearts are getting brighter.I want to add one gorgeous topic to it.... "

"But why should I?... if you want to get a medal for your work in yesterday's incident, it's not me, it's Fai, or... Princess Large. "

Laocles is a bit of a runner. It's a little funny.

"No, what? I stepped on the idea that I couldn't get Large to be a hero."

Laocles' question was simply denied.

"Royal soldiers attacked people at a royal rally.Even if it turns out that the cause is an armored monster, my mistrust of the royal family won't stop.In that context, we cannot praise the royal man as a "hero".Doing so would be suspected of being 'a farce designed to raise the reputation of the Royal Human Being'.The same goes for Faye Brad Redgard.I can't be slandered to make a better impression of the nobility. "

That's good. I want some good news, but it's good news about the royal family and the aristocracy federation, because it's a little far away for the people of King's Landing.

In that regard, Laocles is very popular with Golda, Golda is not a member of the Union of Nobles in particular, and above all, Laocles was brighter than anyone in yesterday's incident!Perfect for honoring 'Heroes'!

"I wonder. Of course, I'm not saying it's impossible... but I'm glad you'll accept it, even in order to bring a bright topic to King's City.It seems that you are also famous as Golda's hero.I'd be proud to give a medal to someone like that. "

That's what Prince Aureus says, but Laocles is as reluctant or confused as ever...

And then, my face is disgusting. I have a very sinister face.... I know. In other words, I think Fei, Claire and Lyla have already found out, but this face of Laocles is "illuminated."

I glanced at Laocles excitedly, and, hey, my eyes were clearly distracted. [M]But before Laocles could get away, there was Lyla and Claire with exciting faces.

Well, that's what I'm talking about, Laocles.

In addition, Faye turned her arm around Laocles' shoulder. It's getting slightly more pleasant.

"It's a corner. Give it to me!The award of a medal brightens the impression of the people of the King's City on the King's City.If the royal family honours knights who are not aristocrats or anything, the people will remember it well.I mean, this is to help a lot of people, right?And the perfect figure to help save a lot of people!If you don't take it, who will!? "

When Faye says so, Laocles becomes more and more averse. It's illuminating. It's illuminating.

"... heroes aren't like that."

"Maybe. But Laocles is the hero of Golda and the knight of the forest, isn't he?In that case, to improve the reputation of the Knights of the Forest, I hope the award of the Medal is not bad.Besides, it's better to have foil to protect the corn, right? "

Faye said that and stared at Laocles.

... and...

"... well, in that case..."

Laocles nodded with a sigh and a very sinister face... finally!

So the plan to award the Laocles medal began.

This is a matter for the Royals and the Alliance of Lords to discuss and decide, so there is no time for us.I just have nothing more to do than draw and keep a record of Laocles!

"... so it seems that the ceremony date is' Don't go so far while you're away for a while '.It is the policy to hold the Medal Award Ceremony on a schedule that will not be bored or forgotten while pulling the awareness of the people of King's City to the limit. "

"Yeah."

"They're going to give a few medals to the engineers and craftsmen of King's Landing.That would make the King's City more prosperous. "

"Yeah."

"Well, the King seems to be against it. If you award such a medal, the value of the medal will decrease!'That's right, if you throw it away, it's worthwhile being born in vain... "

"Yeah."

"... I'm not tired of drawing, you corn."

"Yeah."

... Fay is distracted, he comes to me and talks to me, and he doesn't listen to me... but I'm obsessed with drawing, after all.

"I'm drawing it from the other dance party."

"Yeah."

What I'm drawing is a dance party full of monsters and humans.There were a lot of sketches left of that peaceful and fun dance party, so I painted them well and made them into one picture.I want to finish it up and decorate the gallery.

"... that's good. Soft and gentle.It doesn't look like a monster. The atmosphere is really good. "

"... yeah"

The painting is watercoloured.It's a painting from a dance party at night, so I thought maybe a moist and glossy oil painting would be nice... but I amplified the chandelier's light and placed plenty of stars in the night sky outside the window to make it an overall bright, soft and well-lit painting.That's why the whole place is bright, seeping and fluffy.

... I wanted to paint "Not like a monster".I wanted to make it gentle, lively and soft.

Because that's the kind of monsters who were dancing here.

"... okay, let's take a break until it's completely dry."

"Oh, it's time for a break! If you want to take a walk..."

"No, I'll draw the other one."

"... you really aren't tired..."

And when I finished painting the dance party, I started painting Laocles.If you do it at the same time, you can draw a lot of pictures at once.Hmm, there's more than just wings left, and if there's another pair of eyes, you could really draw two pictures at the same time...

"And don't decorate the gallery even if this painting is finished."

I don't think so.

"Laocles would be pitiful if I were to decorate the defiant Laocles picture!"

Oh, no. Then let's not decorate the gallery...

... instead, let's sneak up on the second floor of my house. [M]If you don't have space, I'll rent you the walls of Mr. Crowe's house. Let's do it.

Two days later, we were in the way of the royal castle.The rice comes out three times at a crisp time, so... even if you're drawing a picture at a bad time, you have no choice but to interrupt the picture without asking questions, and that was an unsuitable environment for drawing a picture.

However, there were a lot of unusual things in the castle, and after all, the murals in the Great Hall would be studied... I think the castle was a good environment for drawing pictures so that it would be positive after deduction.

"Go! Welcome home!"

So I went back to the woods after a while.Carnelia jumped in and almost fell.

Dangerous. If I hadn't balanced my wings out, I'd have fallen.And he must have been caught by a horse waiting behind me and rolled. It's dangerous.

It's been a long time.

"Oh, yeah. I'm sorry, Lian. It's been a long time."

I was a little worried because I left Lian, Ange and Carnelia in the woods while we were at the royal castle...

"No, it's fine. We can live our lives."

Lian is in a bit of a mood.

... hmm?

"Um, the three of you were at Interlia-san's place...?"

Certainly, the children were supposed to be with Mersen and Interlia while we were away, but...

"Oh, no! Don't bother Shinko-san!It's 'My own scratch is my own dandruff'!Don't leave me alone because I'm a child! "

Carnelia braced herself like that.I wonder where I learned that word...

"... so the three of us lived in our house.I can't help it. "

... apparently, because of Carnelia's categorical refusal, three people lived alone.Oh, so Lian was in a bit of a mood.It would be fun if we could do all sorts of things ourselves, and above all, Carnelia seemed to be with us...

"Are you all right? Did you guys eat properly?"

"It's okay! I can also boil potatoes and bake omelets!Lian helped me cut bread, cheese and ham! "

"Oniichan in Corn! I can now make sandwiches!"

"Alternatively, you can go shopping in town and ask Pegasus to buy you something.Besides, we can boil the bath ourselves and do the laundry ourselves. "

Apparently, the children were children, and at some point they became quite successful.I see. They grow up too.

"... no, why are you stroking your head?"

"Why are you here? Wow."

"Tickles! Corn! Tickles when you stroke it with your wings!"

... I accidentally stroked it. Children grow up fast.When I think that you can do all kinds of things right away and grow up right away, I'm kind of deeply emotional...

A few days later, we relaxed in the woods.

It's been a long time since I've washed my horses, and they're about to eat my feathers.(If there is something soft like leaves shaking in front of me, they will want to try it.)

I went to the ruins of the forest thinking that it would be okay now that it was getting so hot and cheerful in summer, and unexpectedly, despite this heat, the birds and the children were sweating so much.

I sweated so much that if I went to the crystal lake and played in the water, the dragon would bully me with unprecedented momentum.... it seems that the dragon is stubborn because I didn't come to report my feathers growing.But that's why I always wonder if this kind of thing can't be done...

I decided to spend the night together to improve the mood of the dragon, and while drawing a picture while soaking my feet in water with just one yukata, let me back the dragon (the dragon seems to like this, and doing this somehow makes me feel better.) Try serving the alcohol you bought in town in a glass of crystal, or draw a dragon that enjoys drinking in peace.

I am satisfied with a lot of drawings.

I have seen other creatures on the relatively outer side of the forest.Let me hold the young rabbits who were just born in spring, or I'll give them the ones who fell off instead of the horns of the deer.

I think it's because I'm the spirit of the forest, but these wild animals don't scare me.So I can fully watch them....

"Progress"

"That's right. We're on our way.... when I'm next to you, I can even observe things that I wouldn't normally be able to observe."

Me and Lyla's painting made progress. [M]No, I had a request for an "animal picture."Our horses, birds and dragons are animals, but I decided to draw rabbits and deer because I thought it would be better if they were a little more rustic.They're not so vigilant about me, and they're not so vigilant about the Lyla I brought in, so it's easy to draw.

I finished my client's picture by drawing a picture of a rabbit and a deer, and when I fell asleep and took a nap on the spot, a bunch of rabbits stopped by and took a nap with me, and Lyla painted me like that.... Lyla.

"Ah, just a little bit more. Five minutes!Only 5 minutes left! "

Well, as a painter, I don't know how Lyla feels either (although I often don't know), so I give up and stay still.

"... Lyla, I'm free."

"Just a little more! Ah, yes!Then I'll be talking to you! So just a little more! "

When I protested, they said so with a very desperate voice, so I thought I'd give up and go with a policy of not moving...I couldn't help it, so I decided to sit on my stomach and watch a little rabbit sleeping in total peace of mind.Observations like this won't be wasted because there are things that you can't understand without actually looking at the hair flow.

"Hey, Corn, I need to ask you something."

Execute. Lyla said she'd be the one to talk to.I spoke with a loud voice that didn't wake the rabbits.

"Do you even know about the woods when you're away from them?"

"Ah, yeah. To a certain extent."

Answering Lyla's simple question, Lyla leans her neck, saying, "Hmm."

"What do you know about that?"

"The trees on the east side are a bit weak, there is a new person moving to Soleira, today's offering seems delicious, or the rabbit family has a child.Strawberries near the wall have been picked up by the town's children, and I feel like the last tree has been cut down... "

To give just one example, Lyla... said with a complicated face.

"... you know how I bake fallen leaves?"

"Ah, yeah, it's a little hot."

"Is it hot!?"

"Ah, no, that's just how it feels."

The rabbits that slept around me were surprised and jumped because Lyla always shouted loudly.When I stroked it with the feeling that it was okay, it seemed to calm down inside, but it returned to its original position.

"... that means you shouldn't cook in the woods anymore?"

"Yeah, except when it comes to setting fire to the woods or something like that, but it's okay if it doesn't.In general, I just need to cut my senses off properly. "

When an army led by the Dragon King attacked the town of the forest.At that time, it felt like I was connected to the boundary, but now it's okay because it can be separated properly.It doesn't hurt to be beaten at the border, and it doesn't get hot when there's a fire in the woods.

"Hmm... it's hard for you..."

"Yeah, absolutely. If I was taking a nap, I'd be inspired by it...."

"I'm sorry! Come on, it's over!You can move! "

With Lyla's forgiveness, I can finally move.

"... well, that's why it's fun."

Heh?

Sitting back again, saying so to Lyla, Lyla feels right.

"It's no surprise that people and many other creatures live in the woods and forest towns while feeling vague.I'm not lonely, but I'm quiet.Besides, this forest is full of gentle creatures.I think it's a very happy thing for these creatures to live in peace and gentleness. "

When the wind touches, the branches of the tree shake, and it feels so good.When you stretch out in the wind, the body that was a little burning in your nap is cool and just right.

"... I mean, don't you hate leaving humans?"

That's what Lyla told me!

"Well, I hate to feel like a forest... eh?Does this look like a forest? "

"Well, isn't that nice? I think a wide field of view means that you're going to be an adult.I think you have too wide a field of view. "

"Huh? Like a forest? Am I like a forest again?"

Wait, wait, wait, wait.Hmph, while chasing Lyla back home singing her nose song, I decided to ask her, "Am I like a forest or not?"

... as a result, it was called "spirit-like".

What is it, spirit-like?

And the next day.

"Hey, Corgo."

Fay on the Red Dragon is coming.Looking at that, Laocles, who was even being paid, had a slightly more sluggish face.

"We have a date for the Medal Ceremony!"

Laocles is distracted by me. [M]Wow, Laocles. I've been totally used to this lately.Laocles has been distracted for a long time.

"A week later, in the square of King's Landing!... so, first of all, someone's definitely going to set something up.Will you attend? "

Faye sent me two envelopes.

One letter was addressed to Laocles.And the other one is for me.

Everything seems to want me to be present as a guest. [M]I'm a little nervous, but...

"I'll be there."

"Oh! I thought you said that!"

Of course I'll be there. Because....

"This is a great opportunity for Laocles to stand out!"

Yeah!

"Hey, Corn. Fei. Stop whining."

The sunny stage of Laocles at the corner!I want you to show me in the premium seat and paint! Absolutely!
