Lesson 4: Lonely Monster * 3

Would you like me to turn you over, Mr. Rugulos?

"Oh, that sounds interesting."

When I was surprised, Mr. Crore laughed and got on. [M]

"Then I'll be able to do something about it if you're around. When it comes to this, the problem is that I'm looking for Rugulos......"

Wait, wait, wait.

It was about to start a hell of a story, so I hurriedly stopped Crore.

"What do you mean you can do something with me?" I'm not that good at that. "

I see? You turned the country's top secret detective over.

”That's because... it was Crore-san...”

Even if you turn around, I think it depends on the compatibility, really. From time to time, Crore was good with the forest and turned to me. However, Mr. Rugulos... well, I don't think he's very good with the forest. I'm baking. I'm burning the woods!

"I see... well, if it's what Rugulos wants, there's a good chance we can prepare it for him." Even if he's talking about the Argent, it's a narrow place to get something exquisite, isn't it? Then I think that Princess Raju, who can speak out against the supreme power of this country, and Mr. Torgo, who can give out almost anything physically, would be the perfect ingredient to negotiate with him. "

Ah, yeah, I see. That's right. Yeah...

... I wonder what you want, Mr. Rugulos. I hope it's something I can give you... but when I'm told I want a summoning beast, that's a problem... yeah.

But look, if we don't know where Mr. Rugulos is, we'll be restricted from getting out, so it's enough to try to negotiate with Mr. Rugulos.

... maybe it's easier for Mr. Ruggiros than for Mr. Argent. No, I don't think so.

"Well. So the question is, where is Luigulos now?"

"I wonder where he is..."

Now, let's do it.

Even if you want to bring Mr. Rugulos over here, there's nothing you can do if you don't know where he is.

"I see... well, I don't think that Agent is letting go, so I'm sure he's somewhere under his control... but according to his physical examination, he didn't have any Summon Beast gems, did he?"

"Ahhh! I see!" He was a monster! Are you going to put it in the jewelry? Ah, it's tough! "

... yes. Mr. Rugulos, the difficulty of finding him is there.

I already knew that Mr. Rugulos could hide anywhere and be transported anywhere.

"... maybe after I've already been made a deceased."

"No, there's no such thing as a boulder... I'd like to think there isn't one..."

"That's right. I also think that Lugyrus is still alive." For Argent, Rugulos is one of the trump cards. If I gave him the role of [Hero], I would definitely try to complete it.... "

... well, I think maybe you're still alive.

However, I don't know where Mr. Rugulos is at all, so... hmm.

... that's when it happened.

Ah, what if I draw a picture of a cane and let it out?

Lila said something quite outrageous.

"... eh, Turbo, can you do that?"

Faye quickly said, "If you can do that, you can talk quickly! 'You're staring at me with your glittering eyes, but... mmm.

"... maybe I can't do that."

I answer, yes, according to my senses.

"Hmm, humans can't draw without looking...?" You can't draw unless you're familiar with it...? I don't know, anyway, I don't feel like I can draw and call Mr. Rugulos... "

"... yes, you said that a long time ago." I wonder if you're not good at drawing humans. "

Yeah, you can draw it if you look at it, and if you're used to drawing it, well, you can draw it somewhat.

But I can't paint people with a perfect imagination.

...... if you ask me why, I don't want to think about it too much, as it's not just a matter of lack of skill...... I'm going to touch something even more frightening.

"In the first place, I don't want to do it because if I do it, there is a possibility that Mr. Rugulos will be the two of us." In other words, there is no guarantee that Mr. Rugulos is the one who comes out of the drawing, and I may not be able to confirm it.... that's really scary, isn't it? "

"... well, I'm scared." As for the rest, I accidentally changed the height of my nose when I drew it... my eyes got a little bigger... I'm scared right... "

Lila nods, "Yeah, yeah, yeah." That's right. I'm scared when I think about it strictly. "Yeah..."

"... my nose height has changed?" Several times, it was painted on the cane. "

Well, this conversation has a sense of being overlooked. What, uh, yeah, I told you this when I was talking about whether to turn the king from a monster to a human...

"You haven't changed." Well, it looks like it doesn't materialize when it's usually drawn, so even if it doesn't affect you... Lao Cres is healing his injuries for about two or three times, right? After all, it doesn't change that much, does it? "

Is that so? If I had painted Laocles on my own, I think it would be one of the great failures that will remain in future generations, so if not, I would be really relieved...

"In the first place, Togo, come on. You have a pretty rough way of drawing." It's not like the flowers you paint and put out are blooming. "

Then Lila leaned her neck and said something like that.

But you've never had rough flowers.

... yeah, well.

I see. When I cured the horse, I painted it quite roughly, but I was still able to cure it. "Anyway, even the leaf-cut edamame has materialized, and even the red dragon painted with blood on the stone floor has materialized..."

I mean, your magic isn't the magic that makes your drawings come to life as they are.

"Stroke..."

Of course, it's normal, but I think it was when I was told that again.

"For myself, paintings that I thought were 'badly made' often didn't materialize. Well, especially when I first came to this forest.... but these days, there's not much of it."

"Well... magic power has increased to a foolishness." I'm really glad you got better control at the same time..... "

Yeah...... After thinking about it, I was really glad that Faye taught me how to practice magic control. Otherwise, the spirits might have inadvertently increased their magic power, and it might have been too much for them to control.

"By the way, when you turned my father from a monster to a human, Mr. Tuogo said something like that."

Yeah.

"Since then... my father hasn't looked any different than he used to be, and he's still a foolish king."

... um, yeah. King of Fools. I see. Yeah...

"After all, does that mean that your help will not affect the invisible?" Intelligence, personality, character..... "

Seeing Princess Raju leaning her neck against the king, she thought, "I think this person is strong, too." Next to her, Faye said, "I was also interested in this topic! 'It's like I'm just getting on, and I start talking.

"I wonder." You mean you can draw the contents of things? If that happens, for example, look, dandelion. It's quite interesting, though. It's not just a dick, but a dick that specializes in sucking magic power, right? "

Well, at the time of growing on the surface of Bao-yu or on the human head, this dick is not a normal dick.

"Ah, I see. If you draw a picture of a dick growing normally in an unusual place, that's right, an unusual dick will be born." I guess... uh, after that, the gate or something? The one on the forest wall is also very good. Well, I think it's done. "

Yeah... well, that's right.

That gate, using all the technology I could possibly have, painted something like "I can see the landscape beyond the forest beyond the gate" with all the strength I could possibly possibly have, but... that means that it functions as a warp gate, not a "wall with the landscape outside the forest", in a sense, "can I draw to the inside of the object", which means yes...

... when I think about it, Crore suddenly pokes me around my waist.

"Hey, Tsugogo-kun. I wonder if you can let me out, Tsukuba-chan."

"Huh? Yeah, go ahead."

While wondering about the sudden request, I let out a pipe fox, as Ms. Crore had told me.

The tube fox that jumped out of the jewel rang cheerfully as it came out on my shoulder.

"I've been curious about this for a long time now, but this is Tsuga-kun's tube fox.... don't you 'ken' meow?"

Ah, yeah. That's right, the fox cries' kon '.

That's right, the tube fox is squeaking.

”... you're not a normal fox, are you?”

"Huh!?"

Wait a minute! A normal fox doesn't sing!? I knew it!? I saw Crore's reaction before, but I thought it was weird!

”For you, this tube fox is something called 'kon', right?”

"Yeah... that's right, it's a fox..."

"...... For you, the fox is a song...?"

On the other hand, when I looked at everyone with the feeling that everyone was different, Lila leaned her neck and said, "I've never seen a fox." Lao Cres had a face like, "Well, the pronunciation is strangely clear, but it's within the range of the fox." Faye had a face like, "It's funny, so it's fine." Princess Raju's face looked like [Was this a fox in the first place?]... ahhhh!

"Well... uhm? In other words, I thought you might be being dragged into your consciousness by Tsukuba-chan."

Really? Looking at the pipe fox, he leaned his neck and shook his fuzzy tail. I don't know, like a face.

"The real tube fox... no, the tube fox is not real, so I can't say anything about it... well, at least for those that are not real, your consciousness is greatly influenced... ah, ah, ah, ah. No, you can't go in there!"

When I heard Crore's story, I was somewhat convinced that the tube fox would go up to Crore's shoulder and go straight into the collar... hey hey hey hey hey hey! No! Not there!

I grabbed the tail of the tube fox that was sticking out of Croa-san's collar and pulled out the sponge and the tube fox. Our pipe fox has been bothering you.

When I put the retracted tube fox back on my shoulder, the tube fox slipped into my collar. "Well, it's my fault..."

"... in other words, the magic of the cane will change the result depending on how consciously the cane is drawn?"

Is there such a thing?

"Well, let's get down to it." That's what magic is all about, isn't it? "

Is that what this is about?... well, the power of imagination is important, but I don't understand the rationale.

"If that's the case, maybe it's because he thinks that" the painting needs completeness in order to materialize ", or maybe it's that" the painting needs completeness in order to convince himself of the magical activation "......"

"Eh, I'm a little scared, but..."

Well, somehow... when I pushed Faye's words and thought about it... it seemed to me that it was somehow terrible, so I decided to stop thinking for a moment.

Now let's think about Argent and Rugulos.

"... well, let's not re-draw our guts by drawing an argent, or draw our guts by drawing a lugulos." It's too risky... and I don't think you can do it after all. "

... yeah. I thought it was superfluous to hear what Faye said earlier.

I can't draw a human like that.

Well then, how do you find Rugulos?

"That's right... hmmm"

Crore was troubled... when Princess Raj raised her hand.

"Shall we look for a house in the Argent Mansion?" Agent is guilty of disrespect, but he can also be guilty of plotting to overthrow the state. If you're guilty of it, you should be allowed to search his house thoroughly. ”

I mean, house searches.

That's amazing. Then... hmm, but on the assumption that Mr. Lugyrus is in the Argent Mansion or there. Hmm.

"Ahh, but if you do that, you won't be able to pull back anymore, will you?" I don't really know what he wants, but for the time being, it seems that power and status are at stake, so I wonder if such a person won't be able to retract after the crime is announced, and won't be able to negotiate anymore. "

And Faye seemed to be on the opposite side.

“Worst case scenario, we're gonna have to take a deal with an Agent. Whatever it is, we can't just leave the seal on the King of Firecrackers. I have a detector, but it's not a panacea. So... the last resort is to deal with the Agent."

Well, then, I'll make a deal and assassinate you?

"If all is really done, and the guarantee comes, I think that's also an ant as an option." But for the time being, I don't think so. "

“I'm kidding. He'll definitely tie me up with a magic contract.”

Faye smiles bitterly at Crore's joke... and starts to worry seriously.

"After all, I stared at the realm of the argent, ah?" Maybe we can do something about it while we're searching for the sealed gemstone on the detector. But... I don't know what to do. It would be nice if you could come out with [coming out] to Lugulos... "

When I saw Faye saying that while scratching her head... I suddenly thought:

"... if I write to Mr. Rugulos, I will not receive it"

If you write "Come out" a little more politely, will he reply?
