Episode 13: Sweet Traps and Trap Breaks * 8
... maybe it's the first time you've ever held a pencil, opened a sketchbook, and yet you can't draw anything.
"Ah, um, can I turn off the lights..."
"... I wonder if you can't see it when you turn it off?
"The moon is bright tonight, so maybe it's okay."
The white skin illuminated by the light of the lamp dazzled my eyes and the light was turned off.
... but then, in the dark room, Claire looks even more glossy, just being illuminated by the moonlight coming through the window.
Because it's getting dark and I can't see anything else, I can hear Claire breathing, and I don't know... I can't.
"Oh, I knew I could light it."
"Fufu, go ahead."
I don't know what you're doing, but I can't help it. Light the lamp again, and then...
This time, I'll never see Claire again.
... it's okay. All you have to do is desan. That's what I do all the time.
Watch and draw objects properly. That's all...
"... uhh"
However, I'm so nervous that Claire's bright green eyes are staring at me.
I feel much more nervous than usual. I don't think I'm just being seen. From your eyes to your brain, it feels like you're seeing through what you're thinking.
They're watching you.
Crowe doesn't seem to be shy at all, but I'm just shy and weird.
At the same time... your head is gradually blurring because of the tension. It feels like a fever, my body is hot, and my head is filled with extra things...
"Here, Corn. Look at me."
That's what Mr Crowe said and a perfect smile came to mind. When you stare at the green eyes that shine in that smile...
... after all, I thought Mr. Claire was beautiful and completely melted.
I knew I wanted to paint this guy.
If I wanted to draw, it was too early. It was so strange that my head was refreshed.
I want to draw Mr. Claire. Mr Crowe is very beautiful. Because you're such an attractive person, you'll never regret having to paint it.
Now, I was completely possessed by Crowe's charm and the charm of painting, and everything else seemed to have completely disappeared from my head.
... while I was moving my hands, I couldn't resist moving my eyes.
It made me feel better to see Claire.
When I started to concentrate, I was pulled in at once. It looks like he was embarrassed a while ago.
"... Corn-san?
Don't move.
For a moment, Mr. Crowe looked at me and looked curious, but he didn't move his expression. Because it's in the middle of drawing.
"... just like that. Stay still."
Stay still and draw Claire's body. Everything you see, everything you see, is going to be on paper.
Supple limbs. Curved torso. Soft swelling, with a moist, heavy body sinking to the bed.
... I haven't seen enough, either. To express all of this, I can't say 'I'm embarrassed and I can't see'. So I'm going to look. I'm going to draw. All I have to do is draw. I can't help drawing it.
I drew it as if I had lost my reason. [M] I even drew it.
Specifically... I've been drawing until dawn.
When I noticed it, it was morning.
... and there was a sketchbook depicting Claire sleeping on the bed without wearing anything, and even Claire.
When I scrolled through the sketchbook, there were several pieces of Krah's drawings, starting with the first one. The last one seems to have been painted while Claire was asleep.
"... what did I do...?"
I looked at the sketchbook, and then I saw Claire on my bed... and suddenly I woke up embarrassed.
What the hell was that? When I started painting, the embarrassment disappeared, and I just concentrated on drawing and Claire... I wonder what this is.
... in the meantime, I put a blanket on the sleeping Claire and I left the room.
"... is that why you're sleeping?"
"Yeah... I'm kind of more than twice as tired as drawing a normal picture."
Laocles and I are having breakfast together, but for the time being, report it. Laocles keenly asked me if I had stayed up all night again, but I was embarrassed by all the memories... Laocles almost understood what I was drawing last night.
Well, I'm glad.
"Yeah... I'm glad I know I can draw properly..."
Somewhat awkward, eating breakfast bread with a distraction.
... yeah. I wonder what happened to me last night. Because both reason and memory were flying...
I wonder why. Because Mr. Crowe is a lovely person? Are you obsessed with drawing? Or did you just feel that way with that woman naked...?
"... if this happens every time you nude the saint, it might be a little bad."
"... it's unusual for you to say that."
"Mmm...."
... in the meantime, let's apologize when Claire wakes up. I'm sorry. No, but what are you apologizing for? Memories flying? Because he might have done something? Did Mr. Claire paint it even after he went to bed?
... yeah. Let's apologize for everything.
I was determined to apologize and waited for Ms. Crowe to wake up.
But... Crowe didn't wake up after noon.
"... I wonder if Claire is really in the room."
"Eh, a unicorn grabbed you?
"I doubt the possibility of escaping on my own."
The horse that really liked Claire could have grabbed her and gone... but when I looked in my room, Claire was asleep in bed.
"Um... should I wake you up?"
"I guess. It's past noon."
If you sleep too much, you can't sleep at night. I never spoke to Mr Crowe. [M]
"Mr. Crowe."
... but it doesn't wake up.
Crohn
... doesn't wake up.
With a little hesitation, I tried to shake my shoulders over the blanket, but I didn't wake up.
"... hey, let me see."
"No, I can't, Mr. Claire, I'm not wearing anything."
"That's not true."
When I was in a hurry, Laocles peeked into Claire's face...
... and said with an incomprehensible face.
"This is out of magic."
I asked one of the tempura horses to call Fai. It's important that Mr. Crowe is out of magic.
In the meantime, I asked Laocles to move Mr. Claire to Hammock.
Afterwards, I put the tube fox on Mr. Claire's stomach. Phoenix took a nap next to Claire. The unicorns who seem to love Claire take the initiative and sit tightly next to her.
"I wonder if this will replenish my magic..."
"Well... we have to wait."
I've seen a lot of people lose their magic, but this is the first time I've seen people lose their magic. [M]
... yeah. Pretty scary.
Even though I know that I will wake up when my magic recovers, I am very anxious to see Claire whose heart rate is completely weakened without breathing.
"Corn! Mr. Crowe, he's down!?
"Mmm...."
And then a little later, Faye came too. So, Faye and I went together and looked at Claire on the hammock.
"... you're out of magic?
"Well, Laocles said so."
"I'm looking at it all in Tokyo. Definitely."
... yeah. I'm worried about you a lot.
"Oh, I see, I'm out of magic....."
That's what Faye said, walked between the unicorns, looked at Crowe on the hammock, and then came back... and said.
"And what magic did Claire use to do this?
... that?
"Eh, no... I don't know"
"Yeah? No, but if you're out of magic, did you use any magic? You tried to do something beyond your limits....."
... if you ask me, that's for sure. I think I was using magic because I ran out of magic.
But... uhh, wow, what should I do? I don't remember anything! All I can remember is what I drew!
"And corn? What's the matter with you? What's with the red face?
"... they finally started practicing nude painting last night."
If I couldn't say anything, Laocles explained it to Faye. Yeah, uh... yeah. Yes, it is. Finally. I finally started practicing nude painting.
"Ooh! Do it! So, how was it!?
And then Fay blinked her eyes and asked me that...
"Um... I don't remember anything."
"... hmm?
Faye gave me a strange face, but I can't help it.
"I've been drawing Mr. Claire all this time. I was so focused, I couldn't think of anything else.... my head became blurry and hot, so I could only think of drawing Claire. I think she painted it even if she went to bed. It was in the sketchbook."
"... eh? So, what was Mr. Crowe doing in the meantime?
"I don't know. When I realized it was morning, Claire was already asleep."
When I answered, Faye roared with a difficult face. [M] And you keep thinking about it.
... Fay finally opened his mouth after thinking about it.
"... um, I'm just checking. What? Corn, is that what you've been through?
Is this the word that comes out after thinking about it?
"There's no way."
"No, but when I think about your atmosphere, your face, that kind of experience might be nice... there were definitely a few girls around who liked you."
I don't know, I don't know.
Well, no.
I don't want you to ask me if it's okay.
"In the meantime... there's no doubt that corn is too pure."
I made a little fake. I think I have the right to make a small fake. [M]
"... maybe. Corn, aren't you fascinated?
... eh?
"Enchantment is an ancient magic... well, the point is, it's a magic that makes the opponent captive."
Faye explains it to me as if I don't know what's going on. Thank you very much.
"When I heard about you, the symptoms seemed pretty good.... didn't you see anything else like Claire shining?
"... there it is"
When I was told and remembered, I did think so. When I saw Ms. Crowe at the party, I felt like she was the only one who could see the light.
"I was obsessed with Mr. Crowe, but perhaps he was enchanted by magic."
... what if it's from the party? Ever since? But even if you say so, you're not aware of it. So, somehow, we have to be in trouble.
"It's a common story to use enchanting magic to extract information from a person, or to kill someone by letting them go."
I'm terrified to hear that, but all I did was paint a picture of it. Hmm...
"If he's smart, he can use enchanting magic just by staring at the opponent. You, when you were drawing naked women, were you stared at by Mr. Crowe?
... but I remember that.
I had a feeling that Claire's eyes were bright and nailed. That's how it feels to be drawn in. After that, my body got hot and my head was swollen... maybe my reason flew away.
"I... might be enchanted by magic."
It's the first time I've had a nude dinner, so I thought maybe it was because of the tension... yeah, I think it's weird now. I was unconscious and just kept drawing, and I thought it was weird after all. It's rare that you don't remember anything while you're drawing.
I see. Then it's settled. "
Fay nodded at my story and approached Claire on the hammock... what a surprise.
"He tried to seduce the corn and do something! Then you better tie it up!
I started tying Claire up with a soft cloth.
"Laocles, give me a hand! Lift it up a little! Right there!"
"Okay."
So, while I was watching, Mr. Crowe was tied up with blankets and wrapped up in a cannon.... it's rolled over the hammock.
... a little cute.
She woke up in the evening. If I wait in the house, Laocles taught me, so I'll go and see.
"Uhh... here."
"Ah, did you notice?
I'm going to see Mr. Crowe. Crowe still looked blurry and looked at me blurry. [M]
"Um... Mr. Crowe, you've been practicing naked women's painting, but it looks like you're asleep..."
I don't know what to explain. I wonder how I should have heard that you were out of magic or trying to attract me.
"In the meantime, I fell out of magic. Mr. Claire, you've used magic that's fascinating to corn.
... if I was worried, Faye would have listened.
But as soon as that happened, Mr. Crowe's expression froze. Yeah, I didn't want to say it very clearly because I thought this would happen...
"What's the purpose? Say it."
"Let me be honest with you. It would be very helpful."
... Laocles and Fay are relentless. Mm-hmm.
"... you know, Mr. Crowe..."
It's pathetic to leave everything to Laocles and Fay, so I'll never listen.
"Maybe you were in a hurry?
"... in a hurry, didn't you?
Claire looks surprised and repeats my words in flip. [M]
"Hmm... why did you think that?
"Somehow. Um... suddenly, I started practicing nude dessert, and I thought if you were out of magic, you might have tried really hard to hang me with something called charm magic."
"That's...."
Crowe is distracted from me, but in the state of a hammock, she can't escape, and in the first place... I don't think she was willing to escape anymore.
Mr Crowe sighed for a long time and said.
"... that's right. I was in a hurry."
I was in a hurry. The word is affirmative. In other words, it's true that she was charming me or in a hurry. [M]
"That's why I failed in a hurry. I think you'll understand."
The look on Krah's face is different from any of the faces I've ever seen. I don't like that face, but I'm still confused. It seems like you're in deep trouble even though you're in bad shape. That's what I'm saying.
"I was in a hurry because there was a time limit of two months."
When Laocles heard, Mr Crowe was a little quiet.... but when he sighs again, he says he has given up.
"There was... but I thought I had to do my job before I was gone."
