The next day.

I went to art preparatory all day and got a pencil lesson. [M] "When exactly are you drawing this many sheets...?" "and the instructor's teacher wondered, but, well, this and the other side are painted one by one in two worlds...

Then the next day.

A party that spares no time for the end of the spring break in the art department. A party where you can bring a little treats and drinks to enjoy. This is the first time this has happened, so it was somewhat fresh and fun. I took the assorted can of cookies from the fairy Western confectionery shop, but it was very popular.

And the next day.

... school is the opening ceremony. Since we joined the new class and became the same class as Shigegaki-san, we both said, "Good luck this year!" So I exchanged various handouts and submissions... and immediately after the dissolution, I went to the teacher's house.

Through the gates, in the woods. Inhale the clear spring air into your chest, and it feels kind of nice.

"Whoa. Tougo! You're here!"

If you take a deep breath, Faye will wave to you from behind the horse. I also waved my hand back to Faye while scratching the horse.

So far. And Faye?

"Oh! It's a nice day, so I thought I'd take a walk."... and there's something I'd like you to say to Luigulos... "

Faye said, "I'm a little unhappy! 'That's what I said while making a face like that....... Mr. Rugulos, you've become somehow a good friend of Faye's. I would deny it, but it seems that Mr. Rugulos also enjoyed talking to Faye.

"Hey, Faye, have you been watching Sensei lately?"

"Unuki-sensei? Look... no, I haven't been in the forest for the last three days or so." If you want to hear it, I think it's better to go around Laocles. "

Chengdu. Lao Cres is guarding the forest, and I'll show my face at school, so I'm more likely to see the face of the teacher!

So I broke up with Faye and immediately went to Laocles.

Laocles was in the Knights' cache, so he went there to say hello. Just when Lao Cres, who was laughing with Marsen, found me, he raised his hand slightly and gestured like "this way". Thank you for letting me approach, and let me sit in the chair that Marsen pulled out for me.

"What's the matter? It's unusual to come to a stuffing place."

"I see. I feel like I'm here sometimes, but..."

Lord, when you want to learn the plaster statue.... oh, but it might be a bit unusual to talk to Lao Cres here, because he often draws knights that aren't Lao Cres. No, because Lao Cres is usually drawn everywhere, my sketchbook is full of Lao Cres...

"Can I help you?"

"Yeah, I was looking at my teacher yesterday, and I thought I'd like you to tell me what's going on."

I asked LaoCles, and LaoCles tilted his head a little and answered me.

"I haven't seen it yet.... it looks like you're at home."

"Good. You're working hard!"

It seems that the teacher was working on the manuscript while I was not looking at it. I'm a little relieved.

"On the contrary, I'm a little worried." Do you eat eel properly? Isn't that right? "

"Yeah, he's the type I am."

And Laocres is a little worried.... well, that's right. Yes, it was. Sensei, if you put all your strength into the manuscript, you'll forget about eating, bathing, and sleeping...

So I was stroked all the way by the knights for some reason, and then I went to the fairy confectionery store. It's a corner, so let's buy something for the teacher. Um, specifically, the one with the high energy...

"Oh, Tougo! Welcome!"

"Hello, Carnelia."

Carnelia was the shopkeeper at the fairy Western confectionery store. Of course, there is no danger for a small girl who is the shopkeeper by herself. That's because the Knights of Bones and one of the Knights of the Forest are on guard!

"Hello, Interlia-san." How would you like to relax? "

"Oh, Lord Tuugo. I'm in pretty good shape." I'm so worried that things are going too well. I thought the barrier would get worse... "

Interlia-san stroked her stomach as she came out a little, and um, roared.... Interlia-san, it seems that the obstacle is of a light type. It is a pleasure for me to want the birth of the children of the forest to be all safe, including the passage of time.

"Tougo, what can I do for you today?" Another can of cookies! "

"Ah, today, I thought I'd go to the teacher."... erm, so I'd like a high energy one with plenty of cream. "

"This is how I'm going to giggle?"... well, for now, I'll make you a cake full of cream! Wait a minute! "

When I ordered, Carnelia moved quickly and filled the cake box with two shortcakes of cranberries, two raisin butter sandwiches, and two fairy Madeleines.

Are you going to Unuki-sensei?

"Yes. Yes, sir. I don't think I've eaten anything..."

"Oh! That's tough!"... oh, then I'd like you to talk to Crore at the cafe! The Milk Pudding of Koji is now available! It's a cafe menu, but I think you can wrap it up! ”

Carnelia said, "The milk and the eggs are very nutritious! 'and his chest is stretched open. It seems that you are gradually learning the nutrition of other worlds...

I went to the fairy cafe as Carnelia suggested.

At one of the tables, Faye, Mr. Lugulos and Princess Raj were arguing about something! Looks like Faye caught Mr. Rugulos and went straight to the cafe. I'm sure Princess Raju will be here in the middle of her official duties to breathe.

Fay and Giggling Princess Rage laughing in a shred of shreds, and the two of them said, "So why is that so! Damn it, I still don't know what Soleila means here! 'Are you angry or are you enjoying yourself, Mr. Rugulos, with a subtle line?'... let's ask later what you're talking about.

"Oh, Togo, what's wrong?" Mr. Lugulos, are you here to make a fuss? Or Luster? "

No, I'm not either.

And I refuse the two that the clerk Kloa recommended me. When I looked closely, Luster came to the corner. Although it is used as a fairy playground, my mouth is a little loose while eating delicious snacks...

Um, if you have any leftover milk pudding, I'd like you to share it with me.

"Oh, do you want to give it to Unuki-sensei?"

"That's right."

Mr. Crore, better guess. "Well, if I wander around with a box of cakes, I might know the general purpose..."

"If that's the case, I'll share it with you." Please return the glass later. "

"Yeah, I'll double it."

"Hey, I'm not going to increase it!"

Croa-san smiled and giggled at me, and the fairies took care of me and brought me a glass of milk pudding, so I packed it in a cake box...

Well then, I'll go to the teacher.

"Yes, please go." Please tell Unuki-sensei, "Eat properly."

Kuroa-san, I feel a bit like a mother to the teacher, but I replied yes, and decided to go to the teacher.

Sceney...

So I'm at the teacher's house. [M] I tried knocking on the front door, but there was no reply, so I went around to the garden.

The bird that was relaxing in the sun in the garden of the teacher's house was slightly withdrawn, the glass door facing the garden was opened from the room, and the barrier on the other side was slightly staggered, and I looked at the room gently...

... there was a teacher who was rattling his laptop with a serious face. He seems to be very focused and hasn't noticed us.

The teacher's atmosphere when he is concentrating is different than usual. Maybe that's because not only does my face change when I'm focused, but my face changes when I'm in contact with him. Because the teacher is trying to be "teacher" when dealing with me. [M] That's why I don't think it's "Sensei", but the face of "Universe Protection".

That way, I'll be able to observe [Universe Protection] to the fullest.

The slightly prone eyelids are staring at the computer display, sometimes blinking. When I thought my fingers were moving and hitting the keyboard, my eyes stopped tightly, and my eyes moved a little bit, and then again, I was clicking.

... I'm sorry to disturb you while you're concentrating. I don't want to interfere with the teacher's work. Because this is very important for the teacher. I want to take care of what the teacher cares about. [M]

If I thought that.

Kyung, Kyung, birds singing. "Oh, when I think about it, I look back..."

Birds. They were rushing towards me and the barrier.

"Oh, I'm surprised, I'm surprised. The birds are suddenly attacking me....."

"I'm sorry, Sensei. I got in the way of my work..."

Therefore, the teacher's work was interrupted. Well, if you break through the barriers in the room and the bird's beak comes out, you'll be surprised how focused you are!

"No, Togo is nothing wrong." By the way, birds... well, birds are a bit bad. But if you tell that to Mr. Bird, it won't help..... "

I'm going to tell the bird to apologize, but the bird doesn't even care about the gesture, and he's pinching the barrier to make a hole. What are you going to do with more apologies?

"... well, I don't care." I rather missed the time to take a break. It was just right. "

Then the teacher laughed and took me up to the room. [M] I decided to let the birds play with the barrier for a while. "When the bird returns, let's re-paste it..."

Then I quickly spread the treats I brought to the teacher. The teacher said, "Oh! I ate tea pickles and beef jerky in the middle of the night!" 'I'm glad you brought it!

The teacher quickly ate the milk pudding and said, "Ahh, it's delicious! 'And as I cheered, I borrowed the kitchen and boiled the water. If it's a cake, maybe tea. Take out the teapot instead of the tea, and pull the tea leaf can out of the cabinet.

Then, when I brewed tea and brought it, the teacher finished eating the pudding and was smiling. "That's good, Sensei..."

"Oh, thank God, Togo. Apparently, I was hungry."

Well, humans are hungry and startled without realizing it.

"That's right. I'm surprised. The pudding was amazingly delicious....."

Hey, let's nod together. Okay. I've got some tea, so let me make you a snack. The teacher was quickly starting to work on the shortcake.

Me and the teacher enjoyed the snack to the fullest and took a breath.

Sensei, how's the manuscript going?

"Hmm. Well, that's fine."... somehow, it's strange. If you write it, you'll feel better after all. "

Yeah, I know. When I'm a little troubled or in trouble, painting often makes me feel refreshed.

"After all, creation is salvation."

The teacher took a sip of tea and said as he exhaled, exhaling with his breath.

"Whatever happens, you can overcome it by using it as a creative ingredient." It doesn't seem so bad to think that hard or sad is one of the experiences for my writing. [M] That's why I'm writing. "

Yeah.

So am I. Like my teacher, I am the happiest and strongest creature.

"... but at the same time, it's a privilege to be able to express fun and joy." Like making a scrapbook or an album or something like that, what I write is filled with my experience. ”

Looking at me nodding, the teacher nodded happily, and then drank another cup of tea... fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

"Really, it's packed with all kinds of things." It's fun to read it back as you write, Togo. "

Yeah.

... I think Sensei really seems to be having a good time. It's not the pleasure of "uki-uki-uki", it's the pleasure of "tingling, stinging".

This "fun" is not the sweetness of candy, for example, but the sweetness of rice, and not the warmth of fire, but the warmth in your coat pocket. This is kind of 'fun'. Naturally, when I was by my side and suddenly noticed, I felt like, "Oh, I like this."

We're the ones who love to pick up the senses, gather them, and watch. I'm sure that's a lot of surprises for people like that.

"I was really saved." I was really saved by this "painted mochi" you wrote, Togo. "

After the teacher drank the tea, he suddenly said so and looked at me. [M]

I feel like I understand the words that follow, so I gently stretch my spine. The teacher laughs a little when he sees it.

"... Hey, Togo. Are you sure you don't need us anymore?"

I have thoughts. Lots. Like mountains. I feel like I have a lot to say. I'm sure I can't say that well. [M]

... but I don't have much to tell you, and I've been practicing this properly in my head.

"Hey, Doctor, I want you to look at this."

I take the clear file out of the bag and show the print inside.

"I will submit the route hope survey." Tomorrow, I'll get this out. "

... the first aspiration is "Tokyo University of the Arts".

I also have a guardian's autograph. By submitting this tomorrow, I will be allowed by everyone to start moving in the direction I want to go. [M]

"... I see."

The teacher looked at the route hope survey with emotion and suddenly blinked his eyes. Then he reaches out and strokes my head.

It's like you can push your head down a little bit, just a little rough stroke. I get bowed down naturally, and I can't see my teacher's face.

"Well done, Togo."

The teacher's voice was trembling a little.

"... yeah, I'm doing my best to surprise myself."

I kept being stroked by my teacher for a while.

In the meantime, the teacher's hand slowly got leaner and leaner, and then stopped, but there was a hand on my head all the time. That's why I lie down and keep talking while only looking at the desk.

"Then, the painting I painted over there recently." I'm practicing to learn the real plaster statue, but it's interesting. It's a learning experience to see what other people have painted. "

Take the sketchbook out of the bag and show it open. It is a picture praised by the teacher of the preparatory school. The middle between the light and the shadow is well drawn, and the whole is well shaped. Recently, I was particularly happy to be praised for focusing on separating grays that are neither white nor black.

"This is a photograph of a member of the art department doing intrusion. I also practice oil painting. It's very fun."

And a picture of an oil painting. I painted the forest. You can draw as many as you want in the forest without seeing anything. It's perfect when you're practicing with painting materials.

"... that's why." I'm having fun. "

I raise my face and look at the teacher properly. [M] The teacher is looking at me too. [M] Her eyes, which seemed a little lonely and happy, narrowed gently.

And then...

"That's why it's okay." I think I've grown strong enough to do it without a teacher, even if there's one more person. "

I was able to answer, yes, properly.

I think that's what the end of the story is.

It's a kind of farewell, a lonely thing... but I'm sure I can't escape it, and the perpetual stagnation is what the teacher calls "death".

So don't be lonely to say goodbye. I wanted to make sure I told the teacher not to worry about it. "It's okay if my story is complete, I won't be lonely."

... the teacher heard me and closed his eyes. But after that, he made a very, very happy face.

"... I see. You've really grown stronger. Looks like we can get along well together, and we'll be able to make it out of the house by ourselves. And I'm sure there's not only a prepared path ahead of you right now, but you're going to use your own strength and responsibility as a passage... you have your own path."

Yeah.

Yes. My own strength and my own responsibility. I've got the strength to get it in this world... Sensei.

"You don't need me anymore." Maybe this world doesn't need it anymore. That's it, you're already doing fine... "

But, Sensei...

... but of course, that's not the end of what I want to say.

Hey, Doctor, it's not over yet.

The story is complete. We have to complete the story more than that, and there's no such thing as a life without parting... that's why we need this kind of separation.

I've become very strong. [M] I'm having a good time. That's why I'm sure you'll be fine if I say goodbye to this story... [this world]. I can live.

... but...

"After all, I want you to stay with the teacher." I don't need it, but I'm sure it's useless, but... it's definitely more fun to be with you! "

That being said, I still want to enjoy the post-completion bonus. All the way, all the way, all the way.

... because for me, this world and the teacher are important, important bait for the mind, and a bait for the brush!

The teacher was puffy. Then I think about something... fu, smile.

"... hahaha. That's right. That's what this is about. Then I don't want to say goodbye! Alright!"

Eventually, the teacher laughed at the shards as if he had thought about it. He ripped a page of the notepad out of his pocket, gurgled it, rounded it, and threw it away. The paper scraps thrown bumped against the edge of the trash can and jumped and rolled on the tatami mat.

... I couldn't help it, so I gently pushed forward on the tatami mat, gently picked up the paper scraps and put them in the trash, and gently pushed back. The teacher pretended not to look. Okay, okay. Yes, re-divided.

"... well, what is it? Good." If that's the case, um..... "

And while somehow untightened, the teacher reached out his hand to me, who was sitting across from the desk again.

I'm not being offered a hand to save me.

"Please, continue to do so, Togo."

"...... Welcome! Sensei!"

Shake hands for "Goodbye".

I can live without taking this hand. [M]

But please. Thank you for your continued support. To live happily together. By the way, if you can... I hope I can help you one day by pulling your hand.

Then the teacher said, "Okay! I'm going to rewrite 50,000 characters! Good luck, Togo. Say hello to the editor... 'and gave me a note." Please extend the deadline for about three days. I'm sorry.' "Oh, my God..."

... well, the teacher started to rattle the computer with a slightly gentler face that seemed more pleasant than before, so I decided to go home.

What was the story before the teacher's "Rewrite"? I'm curious about what the teacher threw away in the trash can, but... well, if the teacher threw it away, I won't pursue it any further.

... but I guess I'll ask you one day, when we're a long way ahead. Someday. Someday.

On the way back, I fixed the barrier that the bird had broken, and then I left the garden and started walking towards the fountain...

"Ah! Toogo! I was looking for you!"

So, Lila called out to me.

"When I asked Master Fei, he told me that he went to the filling place. When I asked Lao Cres at the filling place, he told me that it was a fairy cafe, but you're not in the cafe!" And now I'm going to Unaki-sensei's house! "

"I'm sorry. I let you spin it..."

Apparently, Lyla followed the same path as me. "I'm sorry..."

"Well, that's fine." so..... "

Lila took the vial out of her pocket.

"... look, I've made a very Renée-like paint blend."

... it was a pale blue-grey magic stone paint that was trapped in a gleaming, fine light!

"... amazing! It's like René!"

"Sounds like René."

Yeah! It's René!

Just by looking at the paint, various ideas come to my mind about how to use it.

The first thing I came up with was a painting with a slightly abstract design, clearly painted with opaque paint. It comes to my mind that if I use it as an accent like that, it will be shown.

And when I thought of it, I started wanting to do it...

So I want to use this to draw Rene, so how about you too?

"Definitely!"

When I answered immediately, Lila thought, "I think so! 'I nodded with a smile... and called out to the sky.

"Alright! If so... birds!" It's time! "

And the birds came and cried, and cried, and cried, and landed. And satisfied, Keung.

"You do the ritual magic." If I do it, it's falling apart. "

Ah, yeah. Okay.

Me and Lila sat on top of the birds and headed for the altar in the woods.

"How did you make that paint?"

"Do you know the big white flowers that bloom in the fairy park?" Put the magic stone paint in it and leave it there for the night. It seems that the magical power of the moon's light in the flower will affect this. "

That's fantastic.

As soon as we talked, it was the altar of the night. Apply plenty of moonlight nectar to the birds... Let the ritual begin!

Tongue! Yara!

Rene! Let me draw!

"I'm sorry so quickly! But I wanted to draw it!" Let me draw! "

Then Lila and I went to René. Rene jumped at me and Lila, and when they did, they immediately took out the painting material and began to draw. René is also completely accustomed to it, and sits on the sofa with a slightly clear face, and plays the model firmly.

So, when our painting comes to an end, the three of us enjoy a chat. This is how we relax and enjoy ourselves.... maybe it's fun that's not useful, but it's more fun to do.

We may be able to live without it, but we need this kind of waste.

... I hope that tomorrow and the day after will continue to be such a pleasant day!
