Lesson 8: Afternoon in the Dark City * 7

"I see. Have you ever been to the Gringals?"

"I don't have one."

"I have one." Well, at work. "

"I know a little, too."

I hardly ever heard of a place called Gringal.Exquisitely, among the people who have moved to the forest town, there are people who say "I originally lived in Gringal", and I don't know what kind of place it is.

"Well, it's not a big place."But... the Gringo Lord used to hire a mage.It was said that the mage had brought development to Gringal.It seems that the lord did not raise his head to the mage. "

A mage, huh?...... I haven't met the [Vocational Mage] in this world yet.However, it boils down to the image of someone who might be good at magic.

"The Gringo Mage has served the lords for generations.However, with each substitution, the magic power gradually faded and the lord became stupid.At last, the lord was able to raise his fortune from the Gringo Mage.Rub the appropriate sin.... and finally, the Mage's clan broke down. "

... it's not such a good anecdote, but I'm listening to it.Could it be that the "he" of the Kachikachi Fire King is the grievance of the Gringo Mage?

"All remaining property belonged to the lord of the time."This is the jewel in it.This jewel seems to have been treasured by the Mage, and it was securely hidden in the basement of the house. ”

"That's true, isn't it? It's a jewel that's been sealed with the Touch of Fire.Hah, that's it... "

When Crore sighed, "Father," she said, "why is it that you're the Tickling Fire King...", but decided to continue the conversation without worrying.

"And... where this jewel was stored, there was also a note."There was no more of it, but a copy was miraculously left behind....... this is it. "

From the box on the shelf next to the sealed jewel, a piece of paper emerges.It's really nothing. It's just a normal piece of paper lined up with ordinary ink and a bit of scribbly text.

... here's what it says.

"Don't let that person wake you up."Otherwise, this world will collapse.And keep sealing the one who wants to burn this world.And this stone shall be sealed in seven parts.

"...... Incidentally, the Gringal Lord was suddenly annihilated a few years after the disappearance of the Mage clan."It was rumored to be a mage's curse.After that, the surviving distant kinship became the Lord and now the Lord of the Gringals.... how interesting. "

Well... it's interesting. Yeah.It was a bit of a horror tic.

Speaking of which, the teacher was not good at horror, and whispered a vague thought, and drove away the horror-like appearance that came to mind.I'm not as good at horror as my teacher, though.

"There is such an interesting anecdote, so I really wanted to get it.And... let's give this to you guys. "

I kicked horror out of my head, and when I remembered the lovely scissors painted by my teacher, [Father] grabbed the sealed jewel and gave it to me.

Is that okay?

"It's a pity, but I can't help it."If you ask Crore, it's because it says, "If you leave it alone, it will burn all around you."

Yeah.... I don't think we should leave this jewel in the house by mistake, considering what happened in the amber pond. I really do.

"Well, if you're worried about the price, you should come here sometimes."Always welcome. Yeah, that's right.Bring me one of your paintings next time you come. [M]I want to decorate the room. So let's pay for this jewel. "

Then, before we said anything, [Father] laughed.

"Okay, what kind of painting do you want?"

"I'll leave that to you." You're free to do it. "

Feel free. Well, let's make it a lion picture.I think it looks like this person.Also, if it suits the room... let's finish it a bit dim.A shining lion in the dark.Yeah. Maybe it's a good fit.

"I'm looking forward to it, Mr. Tougo Wesora."And then... your hero Gorda. "

'Father' laughs, saying that.Well, whatever it is, I got a painting request and a sealed jewelry... well, it worked really well. "Yeah..."

... so we're eating right now at the "front" of the store.

It seems to be a place that serves alcohol, but snacks come out, so it's dinner.When Croa said to the counter person, "Please eat appropriately," rice was carried on our table, such as whitefish Muniel and potato Garrett, clams steamed with butter and wine, and salad with a sour dressing.

We'll eat it for a while... and when we take a breath, we'll talk about what we have at our feet.

"... you got it."

“Well, that's good.”

In the paper bag at the foot, there is a sealed jewel wrapped in cloth.No one would think that the paper bag of the fairy Western confectionery store contained the seal of the Kachikachi Fire King.

I feel a little funny, and I nibble on the potato Garrett.As Father said, this restaurant's rice is very delicious.

"... but I'm sure you feel like you're doing well."What is the aim of the man you called your father? "

Contrary to what I'm glad it went well, Laocres seems to be worried.

... well, I think so too.I think there's something behind it.

"I see..."

On the other hand, Crore tilted his neck slightly with a face like "I don't know how to explain", and put the knife that cut Meunier on the plate and explained to me.

"... well, you guys love me, don't you?"

Yeah.

It was a bit abrupt, but I responded immediately.I love Crore, of course.

... Lao Cres looked at Crore with an indescribable face, but Crore couldn't help but smile.

"That's why you don't want to attack my parents' home."

Yeah, well...

I heard a disturbing story, so there's something I think about it... well, I can pretend I can't see it.I'm sure somebody needs an organization like that.

"In other words, you guys... well, especially when it comes to Togo-kun, you're [a powerful person who knows that he won't betray us]."There are fewer dangers and many benefits to getting along with.Then it won't hurt to stay connected, right?Besides, I'm glad you took the sealed jewels away, Dad.I would never say that to that person. "

Cheng Jie. Was that what happened?I listened and was satisfied.

... but...

"... I wonder if he's powerful."

That's a question. However, as soon as I said that, Ms. Crore laughed.

"Hey, you're the mayor of Soleila, so please be firm."

I see. That's right.Soleila has become a big city, and it's no wonder I look like the mayor of that town. I see.

As I nodded, Crore suddenly woke up.He stared at me with a non-forest-like expression.

"And then...."

... yes.

"... simply, I think your father has decided to make you a" "souvenir" "."

Huh?

Crore's gaze was sharp and fascinating even if it was demonic, and he shuddered unexpectedly.

"The point is, I liked it." I'm talking about you.So... I was wondering if I could lock him up in a bird cage or let him go in the sky and send him to come play around the window sometimes... I think that's the result.Good thing I couldn't get into the birdcage.Well, a bird cage that can hold you won't be able to be prepared by humans. "

... yes.

Um, I don't know how far it is metaphorically, but... um, I think it's better to let the shepherd go outside, so I'd like to ask you to do this again in the future...

That day I stayed at an inn in the capital of the king.

Take the usual mysterious inn with several rooms in one room, and quickly...

For now, can I grow two or three?

"... well, I think that's fine." If the seal is lifted by the time we get to the forest, it'll be tough. "

If it's a corner, why don't you grow about 10 bottles?

Yeah, I guess so.

I took out the painting and decided to grow the dandelion into a sealed jewel of the Tachikachi Fire King. [M]As suggested by Laocles, about 10 bottles."No, let's grow a little more..."

"... it's something I suggested myself, but I don't think the enemy is unscrupulous."

"Oh, is that so? I wonder if you'd be happy to make me cute, even if I'm the Tickle King... fufu"

I succeeded in growing plenty of dick while being watched by Laocles, who had an indescribable expression, and Crore, who kept laughing.Mio, the tip of the stretched stem, the fluffy yellow flowers are so peaceful.

And the sealed jewel no longer looks like a sealed jewel.I thought I saw it in the fairy land, but this... uh, it's a peaceful place, okay...

Then we took turns taking a bath and divided ourselves into rooms and went to bed.Good night. I'm kind of sleepy because of everything.

I decided to leave the sealed jewel with the dandelion in my room. [M]If anything happens, I can draw my dick right next to me.

... after all, the sealed jewels don't look like jewels.It doesn't look like a dandelion vase or a plant pot or anything.Oh, by the way, there was a moss ball.If there was a dandelion version of it, it would be like this.

Then, the lower half of the sealed jewel is entwined with roots like a net... um, a floating sphere.A hollow sphere made of thin blue-green glass and hung with a net.I can see it too. A floating ball of jewelry and a net of dandelion roots.Yeah. I think it's good.

With that in mind, I try to put the sealed jewel on the shelf as soon as I enter the room.There is a beautiful pattern of workmanship on the wall next to the shelf and on the corner of the room, and just next to it, the dandelion swings.... that's really what the flowers look like. Interesting.

Giggling, she enters the bed and thinks about what happened today...About moss balls and floating spheres.

Drawing moss balls is a bit difficult.

The texture is like that velvet of moss.That's quite a challenge.Because it is in the forest, I can fully understand the details, but when I make it into a watercolor painting, it is difficult because I have to default on the texture.What would it be like to draw?

Um... yeah, floating balls.I think that is also difficult. Because it's a hollow glass.I know the transparent stuff that is packed with the contents.I've drawn a lot with jewels and things, so I can express the texture.But with hollow glass, you can't draw like a marble."It'll make me feel lighter..."

... when I thought about it, I wanted to draw it after I got inside the bed.Moss balls and floating spheres.

I couldn't sleep because I wanted to draw it, so I couldn't help it.Get out of bed and take out the watercolor tools.This is why I'm the one who can't help it.

... but when I drew it, it didn't work.I mean, it's materialized.Somehow, I can't get any strength in it. I thought I put a little effort into it, but it seems that I put too much effort into it.Maybe I couldn't control my magic power when I was sleepy and toasty.

On top of that, the moss balls worked pretty well and came out... but the floating sphere didn't work.I wanted to make it hollow, but it became a glass ball with a tightly packed contents. No, no, no.

Yeah. We can't do this anymore.There seems to be a lot more research to be done on moss, and floating spheres... there is more research to be done.

But let's do it after bedtime.I'll draw again when I get up from bed.

So I decided to decorate the moss balls next to the sealed jewels that look like dandelion plant pots. Two in a row, they look like just plant ornaments. Interesting.

And the floating balls that just became glass spheres... there's no room on the shelf right after you enter the room, so you can't help it.I decided to put it on the small table by the window.However, floating spheres without a foundation are likely to roll over and fall off, so easily roll up the cloth and replace it with a foundation.Um, can I have a cloth wrapped in a sealed jewelry?

... so, thinking, "You can't work when you're sleepy," I went back to bed and warmed up with the stuffed animals... and decided to go to sleep this time.

... and the next morning.

"... heh?"

The first thing I noticed when I woke up was that the phoenix, the pipe fox and the wind spirit were stuck in my bed.I thought it was strangely fluffy and ticklish.

I wonder if it's been completely cold in the autumn lately, but I push them back out of bed... and then I notice.

... the floating balls that I was supposed to draw and cast out last night disappeared.

Um... it was a dream, wasn't it?"No, but the moss balls are right next to the dandelion balls..." Hmmm...?
