The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

"You were here, too."

"Yes. I'm sorry, I refused your invitation and I didn't realize I was going the same way..."

I apologize to Shigegaki-san, a child of the art department of the same class. After all, she invited me. I turned it down, but being in the same place is... um, very awkward.

Ahahaha. So you also saw the puffs in front of the art room and made them here?

"Yeah, that's right."

Sometimes brochures arrive at schools from museums, museums, aquariums, etc. At the same time, they often have discount vouchers for high school students... That's what we used this time, and that's why Shigegaki-san came here.

Hmmm... this is the only time we're here, so people who came to put brochures in school might be very happy...

"... heh? Who is that?"

Then I peered into Shigekaki-san's eyes and looked at Lila, who was behind me. Then, all the other classmates would come to see Lila.

Lyla is a bit nervous at a time like this because she has unexpected stories. "I wonder if she's okay, but when I look back at Lila..."

"I'm Lila Lazwald. I've been to Japan recently. Thank you."

Lila introduced herself with a little nervousness. Oh, it's Lila the Rock. When I'm here, my liver is properly seated...! "

"Ohhh... there's a lot of foreign acquaintances over the sky, right?"

Yeah.

It seems that Mr. Shigegaki and his colleagues also saw Lao Cres, Crore and Faye, so that's how they felt. Well, yeah. Foreign, maybe, otherworldly acquaintances.

"Um, Mr. Razwald? My name is Tomomi Shigegaki. Your classmate in the sky. It's the same art department."

"To be precise, I'm not a member of the team..."

"The intruders are also among the members."

Listening to my conversation with Shigegaki-san, Lila said, "Art Department, hey." Sounds like fun. "And Mr. Shigegaki says," Mr. Razwald, you speak Japanese well. "And Lila says," Of course, words are such words from birth. "She's not a liar, but she slobs about a line that leads to deliberate misunderstandings.

... and after that kind of interaction.

"Hey, hey, Sky-kun." Razwald-san, maybe..... "

Shigegaki-san asked, his eyes twinkling.

Your girlfriend in the sky?

... eh.

K-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko, which

"Oh, no! It's not like that!"

So, in a hurry, I deny it. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! I think you're making a strange mistake!

"Um, Lila is a painting rival, a neighbor with the same hobbies... um, that kind of thing!"

"Oh, yes! I'm his lover, that's not true!?"

I was in a hurry, and Lila was in a hurry, and the two of us explained to Shigekaki-san.

”Basically, this fluffy dick is not my favorite!”

... I thought Lila had spoken ill of me! T-The dick... I'm not a bamboo forest! It's a forest!

”When I say that, Lila's a mess... no, but I don't really hate Lila's kind of thing... hmmm”

"Hey! That's what I'm saying!" That's why I won't do it if you're dull! "

While I was trying to say one thing back, Lila said about five bad words. That's terrible! That's too many steps!

... no, but that should clear up the misunderstanding! Anyway, this is the kind of relationship we have! "When I look at Mr. Shigegaki..."

"... amazing. I may have never seen you in the sky beating people up so much."

Shigegaki-san and other classmates were looking at me with glittering eyes, and they looked like they found something unusual...

You two are so friendly, aren't you?

And when Shigegaki-san told me that...... I'm a little glad.

"Well, friendly is friendly..."

"Ahh! You have to deny it!" It will be more and more misleading! "

But Lyla was tough. I hate it. Don't pinch my cheek! Don't pinch me!

When I was stretched out by Lila, Shigegaki-san blinked his eyes and said...

"... both of you are more like a couple than a boyfriend girl."

... that's what you're saying!?

Then Mr. Shigegaki and the others went ahead, and we were left alone.

...... Ugh, I'm really, really tired. And my cheek hurts, because Lila stretches it out!

”Uuu... you're the reason I misunderstood you...”

And Lila was holding her head. "No, even if they say so..."

"I think that Mr. Shigegaki was just kidding, and I think it's probably okay, but... I'm sorry." It made me feel uncomfortable. "

"No, that's fine." haa..... "

I hope you don't dislike Lila. Waiting for Lila's words to continue with her worries, Lila somewhat awkwardly says:

"... is that Egaki Tomomi-san?" Maybe she's interested in you. And I'm sorry if you and I misunderstood that kind of relationship... just say it properly. "

Huh? Ah, yeah... yeah?

I don't think that's the case with Mr. Shigegaki.

The point is, Lila seems to care about me... but I don't think Shigegaki-san's interest is like a love affair with someone of the opposite sex, and I don't feel that way either.

"I think he thinks I'm a rare beast."

Therefore, I will explain it that way.

"...... Chunky"

Lila's eyes were dotted, or the pigeon was eaten by a bean cannon, or something like that.

Yeah. Rare Beast.

... no, not just Shigegaki-san, but all my classmates think it's me. Before I got involved in the incident, I was a straggler who didn't particularly get along with anyone, and after the incident, I started to break into the art department and paint without hiding the time off. "Well, it might be worth the observation..."

Rare Beast, Rare Beast... Lila mumbled, and eventually... she began to laugh at the shards.

"...... fufu, maybe I'll get along with her!"

"... do you think Lila is a rare beast or something?"

Yeah!

It's kind of complicated. "I see, I'm a rare beast..." No, that's fine. I wish Lila would be fine with that.

"... well, that's weird, isn't it? You're the one."

Well, yeah. That's right. I'm a weirdo. So, thank you for your continued support.

Then we regained our minds and went to see the aquarium again.

Looking at the eel diving into the cylinder at the bottom of the tank, falling in love with the bright colors and shapes of the starfish, and watching the salmon swim leisurely, the two of them said, "It's beautiful. And I'm hungry."

... and now we're in a little cinema-like place. Occupying the middle of the staircase, he took out his sketchbook... and stared at the huge tank in front of him, not at the screen.

One side of the wall is mostly a whole tank, like a water tank, that kind of place. I feel like I'm watching a movie. The light in the room fell to a very weak level, and it was illuminated by the blue light coming through the tank... I think it's a fantasy sight.

Quickly, I started painting with a simple coloring pen and watercolor in front of the tank, and I started painting with Lila in front of me.

... just thinking that it's beautiful.

"... hey, Tsk Tsk Tsk"

What?

That's when Lila's painting fell apart.

"Why are you... drawing me instead of the tank?"

Lila peered into my hand and gave me a dazed look. No, I did draw Lila's side.... after all, the face that stared seriously at the tank while it was illuminated by the light from the tank was kind of beautiful. Alright. Also, Lila's expression doesn't move when she's focused on the painting, so it's just right to draw. Alright.

"I thought you were beautiful... ah, I hope you don't move."

Please, Lila reluctantly returned to her original pose. You know what I mean.

"... what are you doing here?"

"Um, to draw something beautiful. Then I saw something beautiful that was different from the original plan, so....."

Lyla's expression became indescribable. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

"Besides, I also painted the water tank properly. See?"

”... you're getting faster and faster every day.”

When she shows a sketchbook of a fish and a tank, Lila looks at it and sees a complicated face... so go back to her original serious face! I can't!

After spending plenty of time drawing and enjoying ourselves, we continued to look around the exhibition space on the last side and decided to leave the aquarium.

"It was interesting. I saw a lot of beautiful things and weird things... and most importantly, the atmosphere was very good." The bottom of the water is like that. "

Lila was a little excited when she got home from the aquarium. From her point of view, it seems that the aquarium was very fresh. Well, that's right. Normally, humans don't have a view of the bottom of the water. Even though it's over an acrylic board, I've never seen a fish that close.

Even for me, the sight in the water was kind of fresh

"Ahahah. You're in the woods, aren't you?"

Yeah, that's right. If I had been a sea spirit, I would have been able to see all the scenery in the water, but unfortunately, I was only in the forest. No, because of that, I can see and draw horses, birds, ostriches, deer, and all kinds of creatures up close, and I'm very blessed.

Thank you very much. Thank you for bringing me here.

“No, I wanted to be here with my drawing buddies.”

Lila will thank you, but I want to thank you.

"After all, it's fun to come to this place with your fellow painters." You can also exchange opinions, and you can see the same thing and say, "I want to draw! 'I think it's a very happy thing to be told."

Which drawing method is appropriate for the expression of light at the bottom of the water? How do I draw constantly moving water distortions? How far should the fish scales be drawn? What are the characteristics of the stone at the bottom of the water?

That's probably all I can talk about. I might be able to talk to the prep school people, but I'm not that close to them yet...

In that case, shouldn't you have come with Egaki Tomomi-san?

"No, I don't think Shigega-san would do anything like hang out with me for a few hours and study in front of the same tank..."

Huh, is that so?

Lila is strange, but maybe she is.... I'm also aware that I love to paint differently from other art clerks. Others don't like to paint like I do. I want to enjoy the aquarium at the aquarium...

"That's why I'm glad you came with Lila." It was so much fun! I could draw a lot more! ”

So it was a great success for me to come to the aquarium with Lila. It was a very fulfilling day.

"... yeah? Well, that's fine." If you think it was fun, invite me back. I'm having a little fun hanging out with you, too. "

That's what Lila said... how about the botanical garden this time? It might be fun to paint the plants of this world.

... when I was thinking about it, I was excited.

I hope you have the same hobby.

"By the way, people other than me are coming to our world." How was it then? You didn't draw much, did you? "

"Well... when I went to the zoo with Faye, I felt that my senses had been polished even more than the senses of the paintings"

"Um... what do you care..."

And then I want to draw Faye who gets excited about animals.

"Oh, I can imagine that."

... this time, it might be fun to paint Lila and me all together and enjoy traveling different worlds.

When we arrived at the teacher's house, we had nothing to do, so we went back to the other world.

"Hey, Togo, do you have any plans for tomorrow?"

"So Lila asked me, and I thought for a moment..."

I have a job to deliver the Demon King to the cafe master, but nothing else.

"Ah, that's right, that's what you promised me..."

Yeah. Don't forget it. The master of the cafe often burns pots and pans and ovens...

"... well, I guess we'll just have to wait until it's over." I'm going out with you for a while. "

"Yeah. Fine. By the way, what?"

It's not uncommon for Lila to say this to me. I mean...

"What you saw today, you can't be satisfied with just sketches!" Draw! "

Something like this. Yeah. I thought so too!
