Episode 15: Two brave men, then paint * 8

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to paint. It's a press trip."

Show the sketchbook while staring back at the suspicious Argent.Look, there's nothing suspicious about it.I'm just drawing. [M]

"Hmm... were you drawing Ruggylos?"

"Yes"

Argent exhales with a little admiration after seeing the sketchbook.And with a small voice, he said something like, "Should I have pulled it out again?"Stop it, stop it. Please don't pull it out.I want to grow in the Red Garden forest. [M]

"Sketching, but good enough.What do you think, the Argent family will still have you? "

"It's a waste of time, but I refuse.It's about Soleira. "

As for Argent, I thought you already knew that I was going to be the mayor of Soleira, and when I said that, I was nodded like, "I guess."It seems that it was the original invitation because it was useless.Well, I'll take it as a social resignation.

"Does the painting of Ruggylos mean that it will be decorated in your gallery?"

"Um...."

I'm a little wondering what to do when they ask me.... but it wasn't fair to keep it hidden, and it seemed like it wouldn't be a problem if I didn't hide it, so I decided to talk.

"It will be displayed at the Royal Museum of Art."

"What?"

As expected, Ms. Argent frowned.It's the Royal Museum of Art. For an Argent family that is in conflict with the royal family, it is a museum run by the enemy.

"... for what purpose will it be displayed?"

"Um... it's a joint exhibition with Lyla Razwald."

Maybe Argent said, "Do you exhibit paintings to discredit Ruggylos?I think I've heard it with the intention, but since I'm an introduction to painting, I will honestly talk about the exhibition.

"Lyla Razwald and I draw on the same subject and enjoy the contrast. That's what it looks like."

When I said so, Ms. Argent looked as if she had received a shoulder watermark. [M]I felt a bit like, "I'm not good with this guy after all."

"... what is that" title "?"

"There are a few, but I'm going to draw Mr. Ruggylos' painting under the title 'The Brave'."

But when I say so, Argent looks even more puzzling.At the same time, I was trying to hide it.

"... Corgo Uesora. Do you think Ruggylos is a brave man?"

"Hmm, that's a bit of a difficult question... I talked to Lyla Razwald a little bit.Then she said, "I'm going to draw Princess Large," so I decided to draw the other hero at the corner.It's a little troublesome when they say which one is the brave one. "

My answer seems to have bothered Argent more. [M]With an unspeakable face, Argent thought a little and said...

"If you want to help Ruggylos... you can ask me for a picture.Let's give it a high price. I don't care what you say. "

Yes, please...

Somehow, if Argent told me that, it would be very troublesome.

"Um... I've already got a request from the Royal Museum of Fine Arts..."

"I will invest in it."

"I don't want money..."

Argent frowned a little uncomfortably when he thought about how he refused.

"... I don't know. I don't know what you're looking for.I've thought about it before. "

What I want is, well, not money, but appreciation... hmm, it's hard.I'm not sure what I want, so I can't explain it.

"... well, I suppose you're moving with Red Gard's intentions.I can't force you. But whenever you want, we'll reach out to you. "

"Ah, thank you...?"

It seems that Argent is somehow buying me. [M]

But I don't know why, so I have no choice but to be confused.

Maybe it's the intention to pull out Red Gard's people, or maybe it's more valuable to me...

Hmm... well, okay. I'm sorry, but I'm still thinking of staying with Red Gard, and it hasn't changed.

"Uncle."

Eventually, Mr. Ruggylos, who had finished his speech, approached us.... Uncle, I wonder if Mr. Ruggylos is Argent's nephew.

I was a little surprised when Argent politely introduced me.

"I'm sure you do, but it's Ruggylos Zeil Argent.It's my sister's kid. "

That's how it works.... Speaking of which, I think I've heard about it before."I built a hero from the side of the House of Argents."Naruto. If it's your sister's son, it's not the main house.

"Ruggylos, this is Corgo Uesora.I'm a painter with the Redgard family. "

And Argent introduced me to Mr. Ruggylos...

"... you"

Ruggylos stared sharply at me with surprise. [M]

"Red Gard's hands."

Oh, yes, that's right.

I am a forest grown next to Red Gard and I live in the forest next to Red Gard, so I am Red Gard's palm or Red Gard's neighbor... well, that would be an error.

"And the hand of the royal family. Is that what this is about?"

"Hmm... I wonder what happens when people say," I think it's probably different. "

Furthermore, Mr. Ruggylos warned me and said so, but as for me, the royal family is just a friendly opponent, so I feel different when I am told that it is "the hand of the royal family".

"... well, I don't know what the Alliance of Nobles or Red Gard thinks.You want to be nice to the royal family, too. "

Well, yes.

If you get along with the royal family, you can draw a lot of strange and beautiful things, so I would like you to continue to be nice to me.

If I had replied thinking...

"I've been looking into it.Looks like you're in Soleira's mayor's seat just as a painter.It's inconceivable if it's normal. "

Ruggylos said to me in a low voice. [M]

"I think so, too."

So, honestly, when I answered that, Ms. Ruggylos looked a little overwhelmed.Ah, this face resembles Mr. Argent.Mr. Ruggylos is much more expressive, or his emotions appear on the surface.

"Well... I'm not stupid with Red Gard.I could call it cunning.Then there is no way to make a mere boy mayor without thinking. Then.... "

Mr Ruggylos said a little closer to me. [M]

"Can you tell me? Who the hell are you?"

"I am suspicious.Why did that royal family come back to life?Reconciliation with the Alliance of Nobles.Sometimes the royal family is flat and "fallen into the hands of the devil".That could not have happened unless it was a miracle of God.... but the royal family has reconciled with the Alliance of Nobles and completely concealed the Hands of the Devil.As if nothing had happened. "

Mr Ruggylos stared at me and said further away from me. [M]

"Did you do something?"

Uh, uh... I can't say I didn't do anything.Was it the main task of returning the King to the human race?

Mr. Ruggylos, it seems that you knew the King was working with the Demon King's messenger...Do you think I did something about it? [M]You don't know if I did it.

"What are you up to?What are you going to do? "

But even if they say so, it's troublesome.I just have to shut up...

"Don't intimidate me too much.As you can see, corn is just a painting.If you want to talk more, tell the Redgards. "

If I was in trouble, Laocles broke into my sighs.

"... can we stop talking about this?"

And Laocles said so, and glanced at Mr Ruggylos.Mr Ruggylos flickers at the power of what he thought was an immovable plaster statue moving and staring at it.Stream stones are our statues!

"Ruggylos"

Argent calls.

And Argent whispered something to Mr. Ruggylos.

Along the way, Mr. Ruggylos looked at me curiously, but I didn't understand the intention because I couldn't hear the story. [M]

... the two of you are finished with the private conversation, and they turn to me again.

In the meantime, Mr. Ruggylos seems to be dissatisfied and will stop pursuing it any further.I'm dissatisfied. I'm very dissatisfied.

"Look, Corgo Uesora, I doubt you.Even if my uncle came to find you worthy. "

Ah, yes.

Speaking of the trouble of how to react, Mr. Ruggylos glanced at me... and left.With a beautiful movement, I turned my back and walked with refreshment...

... ah.

"Ah, wait!"

Wait, wait, wait. Don't leave yet!

When I called, Mr. Ruggylos stopped and looked back suspiciously. [M]

"I'd like to paint and exhibit your paintings, okay?"

... Mr Ruggylos looks so embarrassed!

Then Argent gave me permission for the painting.Mr. Ruggylos was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't want to dispute Argent's decision.

I am a little worried that the model himself is not ridiculous, but it seems that what Mr. Ruggueros is worried about is that he "intends to depict himself ugly and discredit himself", so I want you to be reassured there.

Draw a corner. I will do my best to paint a beautiful and courageous figure.

... so...

We broke up with Argent and went back to King's Landing for the night.

"It's a small room, but I just sleep anyway.It doesn't matter, does it? "

"Yeah, I'm welcome in the narrow."

I decided to stay in a smaller, narrower, more relaxed accommodation than the one that Fei and the others came to.It is a small room with a luggage storage area, a simple water bath and beds.Nice. It settles down in a narrow place.... Laocles had a slightly cramped bed, but it's just the right size for me.

"... about Ruggylos."

"Yeah."

Put your stuff down and relax a little. We'll talk a little.

"You should be vigilant.Argent still seems to be a little rational, but Ruggylos won't let you do it.He doesn't think much of you. "

Yeah. Well, I guess so.

I'm close to the Redgards, and the Royals have been close lately.So, from Mr. Ruggylos' point of view, it's an enemy. I know that.

"Rather, it's strange that Mr. Argent doesn't seem to have such a bad impression of me."

On the contrary, what I don't understand is Mr. Argent.

I know you're buying me something, but... why?

"... well, if I listen to your rumors, I'll understand the foolishness of dealing with you to some extent.You want to be on your side, but you don't want to turn it on your enemies. "

I mean, without touching God...

I think it would be quite detrimental for House Argent to leave me alone.But more than that, you're taking a big look at the risk of attacking me.

"... it's a bit complicated, but I'm generally happy."

"Yes, the point is, you have the ability and track record to control Argent."

"Is this going to help protect the forest a little?"

"It's actually working."

Really?... I'm glad.

I don't seem to be very reliable, and I don't have the majesty or penetration, so I think there are a lot of things that can be licked.No, actually, it's not a big deal, so I can't help but lick it.

... but even in that case, if the stack of things I've done has become a material that you can think of as, "Don't go into the woods." That would be a great pleasure.

"Hey, don't be too fluffy. Argent may keep it on hold, but it is also possible that Ruggylos will act out of Argent's mind. Be very careful."

"I can't help but be a little happy when you ask me not to be fluffy."

Just for now, let's get a little fluffy. Fluffy.

... my face looks a little stunned.

The next morning, a little sleepy, we left and went back to the woods.

"Ah! Corn! Welcome home!"

"I'm home."

Then Lyla drew a picture in front of my house.It's a picture of "The Brave One." Princess Large's.

... Lyla's paintings are more like drawing light than shadows.A painting like that, where only one person is strongly spotlighted in the dark.

On the other hand, when I painted a little down at the inn yesterday, there was only one dark shadow in the light, and it seemed like I could see the color, so it would be the opposite of Lyla.It's a little interesting because I didn't aim for it.

What do you think? Can you draw a picture of Ruggylos?

"Yeah, I mean, I got Argent's permission."

"Have you seen him? Well, that's fine.Didn't you do something weird? "

"I was told that you might be my painter again."

"... well, it looks peaceful, above all."

Lyla looked a little stunned, but, well, let's just leave it...

"Huh? Are you already drawing? Are you sure you'll be back?"

"When I saw Lyla's painting, I wanted to paint it, too."

Bring out the painting materials, draw out what's missing, and get ready for the painting.

... because I'm a spirit, a forest, just a person, and above all, a painter.After all, I think drawing is the first thing to do.

Since then, we've been drawing a lot, and at the same time, the movements of the Argent family's hero, Ruggylos, have grown.

The speech of royal criticism was also delivered in the King's Landing out of Argent territory, and with it, it seemed that the anxiety of the people of the King's Landing had somehow increased.

The aftermath has reached Redgard territory, and even Soleira can hear voices of uncertainty.

Princess Large still stands in speeches and listens to people to confront Mr. Ruggylos, but at these times, the world is doomed, rather than the claim that the world is peaceful!The assertion is stronger.

Mr Ruggylos is saying something quite absurd or deliberately wrong."The King wants to resurrect the Demon King," or "The invasion by the monster begins."The king doesn't think about that right now.

... but assertions such as' nothing 'and' they are not a problem even if something happens' are so weak... Lugylos have also been born in the King's City.

And they were about to go on the course of a revolution called "Together we will defeat the royal family"....

... In this situation, the Royal Museum of Art's "Comparative Exhibition of Tougo Uesora and Lila Razwald" was held.
