The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

"Welcome home.... more souvenirs than I expected."

Yeah, I'm home.

When I got back to the woods, Mr. Crowe was surprised. Yeah, well, I thought so.

"For now, it's yours. Bread, cake, cookies, tea leaves and knives. Beautiful pebbles and glass shards"

I'll line them up on the desk. [M] Claire took the glass shards and smiled.

"Thank you. It's a good souvenir.... fufu, just looking at this gives you an idea of where you've found the angel. It's lovely."

That's what Mr Crowe said and put the glass shards on the desk again.

"And fairies."

What?

I'll put a fairy out there. When the bags were opened, the fairies that came out of them jumped out one after the other and lined up on the desk. Yes, it's a souvenir.

"... I didn't think a fairy was coming."

Crowe stuck one of the fairies lined up on the desk with her fingertips and giggled.

"This forest is going to be so busy, right?

"Yeah, two angels and lots of fairies."

The fairy seems to like Claire and is moving quickly. I was laughing at Crowe's fingertips and hair.... but still, I tend to be far less comfortable playing with Lian and Ange. There is a difference between touching your favorite stuffed animal and touching a beautiful biscuit doll. Lian and Angel are angels, but Krah may be the queen of the fairy kingdom.

"Fufu, thank you. Nice souvenir!

Crowe said with a pleasant giggle when she let go of the fairy on her fingertips.

"Where do these fairies live, by the way?

"I think the flower fields are good. I'll be in the neighborhood of Mr. Crowe's house."

"Oh, nice. So you can always enjoy the fairy landscape."

Is that all right? When I asked the fairies, they nodded many times in a beautiful line. Yeah, I feel scared.

"... I don't think these fairies will stop loving you."

"Yeah, I wonder why...."

As for me, I don't mind if you use it as a play tool like Lian or Ange, but the fairies just gently touch the tip of my fingers and the bottom of my hair and clothes. I can't say anything because I get a sparkling smile every time. [M]

"Well... I'll forget a lot about you, but you're a spirit."

Mm-hmm.

"Isn't it special for you to be able to speak to the Spirit even as a fairy?

I wonder. I'm a little troubled to hear that.

But Ange, who was listening to our conversation, talked to one of the fairies about something... and whispered to me.

"It's an honor to meet you, my dear spirits, and even to invite you home...."

... I see. Yeah. Well, if you're happy with it, most importantly, yeah.

After all, I've stopped being human...

Then I set up a house for Celeste's brothers and sisters with ease.

Nevertheless, it was maintained so that guests could stay at once... the big job was just to move one bed. Besides, it's not my job, it's Laocles' job.

... Laocles brought two beds into one room, so the Celeste brothers and sisters will sleep together. It's been a long time since we met again. Maybe you want to sleep in the same room, and if you want to separate the rooms, you'll ask Laocles again, but, well, then, then.

Then I drew a vase.

It's an egg-colored baked bean thistle in a mellow shape. Simple guy with a bit of decoration in gold.

Put it in two houses and bring flowers to life there. Mr Crowe chose the flowers for me. Now it's okay for the fairies to come and play.

Well, it's time for dinner.

"Oh oh...."

After that, the maintenance of the two houses was completed, so dinner was served quickly.

... by the way, Claire will prepare dinner for you. I'm always looking after you. With two more people, it's getting harder and harder for Crowe. Hmm, should we serve Summoners who can cook rice?

The number of people eating dinner has increased, making it a very lively sight.

Faye, Laocles and Crowe, and Lian and Angel's Celeste brothers and sisters. At last, there were six people at the table, including me. [M] There's more of them. It's about time I got narrower in my house. [M]

"... it's kind of weird."

And while eating dinner, Lian said that again.

Oh, I don't think it suits my mouth.

"No! It's delicious! But, um..."

Lian whispers at random.

"... um, can we stay here?

"Yeah, I need you to stay."

But as for me, of course, I need you to stay. The angel who caught me at the corner. I won't leave you empty until I finish painting.

"Let's take a day off tomorrow. I want you to rest a lot. I'll have you guys do the model from the day after tomorrow.

"Uh, uh, what else?

... Otherwise?

Um, cleaning and laundry. That's what farming is all about.... "

"Yeah... nothing in particular."

"Nah, why..."

No, no matter what they say. On the contrary, I wonder why the model has to be cleaned and washed...

"Ah, you think this is about us? You're a slave? Me and Ange are the slaves you bought.

"Yeah, angel."

"I say angel, but hey...."

Yeah, angels. I want to draw quickly. But they're both small, and I can't force them too much. Tomorrow is a holiday for two.

"Fufufu, I can't help it. Give it up, boy. This is how I feel when you bring me here. [M] I can't help it."

Claire strokes Lian's head with a giggle.... if your older sister strokes you, the angels will have to shut up. Bewildered, Lian decided to convince her for now.

"... if that's the case, I'll teach you some work after I can draw my client's picture."

Well, if I can help you avoid getting hurt...

"But my job is to grow up healthy. Don't think too much about working."

Yeah, they're both angels, kids. I think the most important thing is to stay healthy.

... healthier is worth drawing.

Later that day, Celeste and his sisters slowly took a bath, warmed up, put on clean bedclothes, and brought them into their houses and into their beds.

Ange was already envious, so I put her in bed and she fell asleep in no time. Being buried in a white futon and blanket looks like an angel sleeping on a bed with a slice of cloud. I want to draw this too.

"... hey"

"Yeah."

"Are you sure? I can't believe this...."

"It's okay. Because you won it."

Lian was restless on the bed, but when I said that, she looked surprised.

"Your beauty is yours, and it is you who expresses it. You have an expression, a movement, emotions... and I saw you attractive. I wanted to draw. That's my assessment of what you won."

... I understand your confusion about the sudden evaluation. Me, too.

"But no one's ever done that before."

"Yeah, that's why we got lucky. To each other."

But, well, I appreciate him. That's the only reason he's here, so... we'll just have to relax and let him know.

"Well then, good night. From the day after tomorrow, I'll let you do the model."

"Oh oh...."

When I closed the door, Lian sat on the bed blurry, but eventually looked at Ange and looked relieved... and then leapt into the bed vigorously to calm down. Good night.

The next day, I was even drawing fairies.

They are flickering around, but they will stop on the flowers and pose, if you please, so let me sketch there quickly.

Then I put out the watercolour paint again and quickly colored it. Yeah, this is the middle, fun.

Fairy dresses are roughly the same as humans, so the way they are drawn is roughly the same as humans. Both the skeleton and the meat appear to have reduced the human body.

But, anyway, it's beautiful. Fairies are sparkling and beautiful. That's why I want to express that sparkling light shade well with coloring.... but perhaps this sparkling kanji can be expressed better with oil than with water colour...

Around noon, Lian and Ange started playing in the woods. Leann still seems to be in trouble, but Ange is starting to get acquainted with the woods quickly because she's young.

You can find the skin of a tree in an unusual shape, look at flowers and be happy, or run around in the meadows and fall asleep. I used to hang around a lot.

"Sounds like fun. Yeah, I'm relieved."

"Yeah, me too."

As I look at the two of them with Fay, I begin to think about the composition of drawing. [M]

These two players seem to be angels enough, but my client's painting is "The Angel who Blesses Man." I need two angels to bless Man.

Besides, it seems to be a painting to decorate the entrance hall. So, I think it has to be a painting that looks somewhat good. Use a variety of colors to make it gorgeous, or narrow down the number of colors to make it a calm picture.

Hmm... I'm getting lost. It may be that the color taste depends on the composition. Then we have to figure out how to get two angels to bless us.

It's a picture that I hope Saphir's baby will be born safely, and I want it to be a picture that celebrates the baby's birth.

... mmm.

"I'd like to congratulate you on a little bit."

Ha?

I'm sorry about the holidays, but I asked Leann.

"... what's a blessing?"

"... I wonder what blessings are..."

Whatever I said, bless me. [M]

Ask Faye, who was next door.

"Hey, what's a blessing...?"

"What? Um... um, oh, yeah. Uh, yeah. Blessing... makes you happy against humans, don't you think? Yeah."

I see. Is that good? Understood.

"... no, wait a minute. You think my explanation is fucked up?" Be happy "isn't it!?

"Yeah, I think that's good."

I know how Fai feels somehow. Well, if angel blessings are true, that's where the mysterious forces work. However, I'm sure the only thing left after that is' Be happy '. That's why the name is "Blessing." So I don't think Faye is wrong. Probably.

... but it seems that Lian was in trouble when she heard that.

"Ah? I never thought you'd say that...."

While saying such a thing in vain, I thought of something and said as if I had thought of it since then.

"I don't think the kid who's doing this is going to say," Be happy! "

... if you say so, I can only say yes.

Lian can't feel like congratulating someone in a day when his father keeps making debts, Ange is sold, and he's all alone buying Ange back.

I hardly know how he lived until now, but if everything in his life had been that way, then, of course, Lian...

"... but right now, I'm thinking a little bit."

Lian said that, raised his face and looked at me with his eyes as if he had cut the blue sky.

"You can be happy. Yeah, do it."

If she couldn't say anything aggressively, Lian continued her words in a hurry.

"Look, look, you guys helped Ange. I got away from my goddamn father, too. And the rice was delicious. Fluffy bed. Thanks to this, Ange seems to have slept well and still seems to be having fun....."

Looking at Ange, she was dancing with a fairy in the flower field. Turning around, putting on the buttocks, and laughing at the shards. And when Lian and I met, they smiled and waved small.

Looking at it, Lian smiles a little happily. I can't think of a look since I slipped the bag from my bag. [M]

"... I still don't know why you guys are doing this... but I'm glad you said I won this too."

Lean turned to Ange and said so.

"So you can give that back. Neither Ange nor I seem to be able to give you what you want, but you can do as much as you want to be happy."

As I looked at Lian with her ear edges turned red, I remembered the teacher.

I got a lot of things from my teacher. That's what shapes me now.

I didn't know why the teacher would give me all kinds of things, and I still don't know all the reasons. But... yeah. Same. Same as Lian.

I want to return the money I received. That's 'Be Happy'.

I see. The only people who can hope for happiness are the ones who receive it. A blessed person is a blessed person.

... in other words, the angel I should paint is "an angel who blesses people"... "an angel who is blessed by people".

When I was thinking about it, I noticed the composition of the picture gradually in my head.

It's an angel with a happy face.

Until now, I've been feeling painful because of humans, and I've been alert to humans... but this is the face of an angel who has become happy and wants to make people happy for the first time.

... yeah. I want to draw this.
