The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

"... so one picture of the Night Forest, one picture of the Day Forest, and two pictures of the Angel. One more picture of the knight."

A little too much, I guess.

Faye brought me a favor, but suddenly it increased. What should I do?

"Oh, you've grown quite suddenly. I wonder what happened."

"Well, there was a customer at Safir's place, and he saw the painting in the entrance hall and found it unusual. This kind of painting is unusual."

Speaking of which, the watercolour is a little unusual. Hmm, I see.

"So Saphir bragged about the painting, and then asked the Red Gard family if they'd pick it up."

"... so five at a time?

"Yes, by the way, there are three guests, one with two pictures of the forest and one angel. One angel and one knight at a time."

Wow... no, I don't know what to do. I'm in trouble. I didn't think this would happen.

"So, what do we do? For the time being, the number of people was so I decided to just listen and have them stay in the guest room of the house."

Uh... uh, what do I do?

What should I do?

... I couldn't help but be in trouble, so I moved to the Red Gard house. I was in a hurry, so I was put on a red dragon, and it was super fast. Mmm, fast. The phoenix flies fast enough, but the dragon is faster after all.

"... I'm getting nervous."

I see. You must be quite nervous. "

Yeah, maybe.

"Ma, take it easy. Huh?"

Yeah... I wouldn't have to struggle if I could.

Then I sat side-by-side with Faye and Laocles in the redgard house's reception room, and I watched the customers sitting side-by-side on the other side, nervously.

One is a good uncle. He smiles at me. [M] The other is a man a little older than Safir. He looks at me with interest. [M] And finally, Grandma. He looks at me happy. [M]

... I'm still nervous about being watched. Wow.

"He is our painter. Tougo Uesora. She's still young, but she's good."

That's what Faye introduced me to, and I bow down. [M] Then the three customers also interpreted.

"... but, well, it hasn't been long since he started working. I'm worried about drawing five at a time."

Faye told me what I was most worried about. [M] And the customers nodded like, "I guess so."

"... and corn. How about five?

"Well, if you have time, you can do it."

Fortunately, this request is all a motif that I have drawn. You don't have to go get angels or buy plaster statues. Especially since the painting of the forest is like drawing my own hand for me, I feel safe there.

"Oh, really!? I've ordered three sheets, but is that okay? Oh, of course, I'm in no hurry. That should be enough in about six months."

"Yes, I think we can handle it."

When I answered, my grandmother held my hand with joy. [M] Yeah. If you can get it for six months, it'll be enough. Anything is enough for 3 weeks. This is the privilege of watercolor painting.

"We're going to have a baby soon. So I want you to draw an angel painting like the one at Saphir's."

"It's okay. We still have the model, so we can draw it."

This time we'll start after we've caught the angel. Anyway, I'm still drawing angels after Safir's house request, and I think it's okay because I'm getting used to it.

When I answered, the man also held my hand and smiled.

"I want you to give me a picture of a knight who protects our home. No, we're in business, so it's not good if it's not too obscure, but your paintings are soft and warm. I thought it wouldn't be rude to the customer to put it where I could see it."

"... I don't know if it will be an amulet, but I think I can probably draw a picture of a knight like that. There are knights and models."

There are angels, but there are knights. I'm glad there are many models in the woods. I find it difficult to say a painting that will serve as an amulet, but let's give it a try.

This "Knight's Picture" may be the most difficult. After all, I've never painted Laocles as an amulet.... well, Laocles himself has been painted over and over again, so I think it's probably okay. Mm-hmm.

When I agreed to this, a man with a nice smile grasped my hand and waved in gratitude.

Then I decided to have the customers write the order form.

The size of the drawing, the colour request, the deadline for delivery... if you don't keep those things in the paperwork, it's going to be a mess.

"... are you sure you want to take on all five?

"Eh, yeah...."

Laocles sneaks up on me while the customers fill out the order form.

Something went wrong.

"No, I don't mind if you're good... but isn't five a burden?"

"Yeah, because I've been drawing about four angel paintings in a week."

In other words, if you can draw on your own, you can draw about 5 pieces if you have about 2 weeks. Even if it's a client's painting, I think it can hold 5 pieces for about 4 weeks. Yeah. Nothing in particular.

"... I guess so."

"Yeah."

I think it would have been painful if I had been asked to do five things that I dislike. But painting is fun and not bitter.... the only thing I'm a little worried about is that I don't like drawing while I'm doing my job like this... but I'll think about it then. For now, it's fun. Okay. Okay.

Eventually, the customers finished writing the order form.... they all seem to be lazy shops. It's quite a long deadline, so I feel comfortable with this one.

So I was asked to take five pictures, take them home, and start drawing them quickly. [M]

Within that day, I began drawing angels. I've been drawing angels all day lately, so it's just fine. With the same momentum, I finished drawing two pieces down.

One is for Mr. Safir's friend, the man. In other words, a picture for the baby to be born. So I'll draw another picture of an angel who looks happy. However, there was a request to make it a lively screen, so the place where the angels are is not a bed nest, but a flower field.

Two angels weaving flower crowns surrounded by colorful flowers. The flower crown is for the baby to be born. In this way, I would like to congratulate the baby that will be born.... by the way, how to make a flower crown is instructed by Mr. Crowe. Thank you for your help.

Then another angel painting was an angel painting in the forest, so I painted an angel sitting on a tall tree branch smiling in a green screen.

My client is my grandmother. She said she likes the woods. There used to be a forest next to the house where they used to play a lot. Now the forest has been cut open by development, but the grandmother told me.

... so I drew two angel pictures, so I drew two pictures of my grandmother's woods.

The forest of the day is bright green. The night forest is a calm color.

The night forest... I thought it would be okay to paint fairies and horses gathering around the bamboo that collected the moonlight, but I thought perhaps the "forest" my grandmother assumed would not contain bamboo, so I decided to stop it.

Instead, the painting of the Night Forest decided to paint fairies flying between ordinary trees in a fluffy glow. Yeah, it looks like fluorescence.

... about 15 days after receiving the request, four pictures were drawn.

This time, I was somehow unconvinced after drawing the forest painting once, and I redrawn another one, and I roughsketched a few angel paintings to figure out the composition before coming to the bottom, but I still managed to do something about it in the 15th. Hmm, I'm surprised.

The last one left was a picture of a knight. This has already been structured. The image is just the same.

"... are you sure I'm okay with this?"

"Yes, there are no more knights than Laocles."

Laocles seems a little reluctant to become a model for the painting. But if I were to draw a knight statue, I would like to draw him.

Wearing a sword and a shield in his armor, he was the coolest. The original plaster statue is getting more and more daunting, and I think it would be brave to paint it.

... but this time I'm asking for a 'Soft Knight Statue'. Don't intimidate while being an amulet. That's what I wanted to paint... and Laocles took off his helmet.

Holding a helmet with a shielded arm, keep the other hand on the handle of the sword. And while Laocles was staring at me, he laughed a little.

In the wind, a knight with an unexpected look on his face as he took his helmet off.

... as a non-intimidating protector, I'm sure you're feeling well. It's not a quick fight, but it's a picture of a knight who can fight whenever he needs it.

Next, I'll devise a little bit about how to draw. Blurs and bleeds a lot without drawing the light very clearly. Then, it feels like a soft atmosphere to ease the courage and swallowing of the motif.

Overall, the smoky color blends with the background and somehow becomes an unrealistic screen. It also makes Laocles look 'not human'. If there were a god of war, maybe this is how it would be.

... so I finished drawing all my favorite pictures in about 20 days.

"All right, let's get this over with."

"Wait, you shouldn't go too soon."

Laocles stopped me when I was about to write a 'Come to the Red Gard House' letter to deliver the painted picture.

"Let me wait a little longer. I'll let you wait for about February."

"... I think it would be better if it were done sooner"

"If I knew you could draw at this speed, I'd be in trouble later."

... trouble? Is that what it is? Mm-hmm.

"Wait at least a month. And even if you deliver the painting, you won't complain."

If that's what Laocles says, let's do it. As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to deliver my blessings and amulets as soon as possible... but I don't know what Laocles is saying. The feeling around here is definitely stronger than mine...

For a month I was free, I painted. [M] Yeah, of course.

... but besides painting, I worked a little bit. Uh, forest maintenance.

I fell out of magic once, worried that the forest boundary might be a little unstable, and went to the ruins again to repair the boundary.

I just feel a little too worried. The boundary was even normal, and when I tried to fix it, it became more and more energetic. Hmm, maybe I overdid it.

And the management of forest creatures is also part of the maintenance.

There's a forest in my head, so I know everything about the forest, but I thought I'd better actually meet him. So I went round the woods and greeted the creatures who lived in the woods.

Rabbits, deer, birds. With snakes and rats? Those forest creatures never ran away when they saw me. He came to me a little bit intrigued, sniffed the smell, snuck into my hand, approached me and rubbed against me, and responded in such a friendly way. Apparently they know I'm the spirit of this forest. [M] Clever.

I spend a relaxing time watching and drawing their pictures directly, being bewildered by them, and watching and drawing Lian and Ange become full of rabbits instead of me.

... a month's vacation is kind of fresh. The things that I've been doing have hardly changed, but it's a strange feeling that if I could do my job, I could take a vacation, or I could get better, hmm...

2 months after receiving the request.

... that day was a bit cold and wintery. Speaking of which, recently the temperature of the water bath has become harsh. I see. Is there a season in this world? Does that mean that it will snow? Fairies flying through the sky with snow will be shiny, horses walking under the moonlight with their hooves on the snow-capped ground will be shiny, and snow-playing angels will be shiny. I want to draw.

But before that, I think we need to warm up the house. Horses are probably cold, so I'd like to make a stable, and maybe I should make a birdhouse or a rabbit hut.

And a bath. It's time to install the shower in the King's City lodge. I want you to take a warm shower, soak in a hot tub, and sleep well and be healthy.

... and with that in mind, I finally wrote a letter saying, "I've drawn a picture."

Write a letter to the three clients in an envelope and hang the wax on its binding. And finally press the seal to finish.

... when I came to write to you, Mr. Claire said, "Please seal it. I can lick it", so I made it.

The first thing I imagined when I heard about the wax was the red wax on the raw envelope, but I decided to stop because the red was the color of the fake.

When I talked to Faye about it, I said, "Then let it go white! 'and gave me a dark blue letter set. So I drew milk sealed wax and white ink and wrote a letter. When white ink runs on a dark blue note, it's a bit starry. Faye is fashionable.

Leave the completed letter with the Phoenix. The Phoenix will fly to the Red Gard house, and Faye's Summoners will carry her from there.

... among other things, should I send Summoners to send letters out of the woods?

A few days after the letter was sent, the date for the handover of the painting was decided. And I gave each of the three customers a picture and got paid for it.

... 40 gold coins per piece. The smaller picture had 20 gold coins, but the larger one had 40.

160 gold coins for 5 pictures this time.

I don't know... is that okay?

"Thank you very much. Now you can see the forest while drinking tea, and the night forest is next to you when you sleep. And it's so nice to have an angel in the front door."

My grandmother, who ordered three pictures this time, was very pleased to say so. I'm glad you're happy.

"Hey, can I introduce you to my friend, too? I'm sure she'll like your paintings."

"Yeah, yeah. It doesn't matter, but...."

"Really? Then I'm sure my friend will be asking soon. Please accept it if you like."

The old lady shook my hand and left. [M]... yeah.

Uh... well, that's a pleasure. Yeah. I mean, it's unrealistic.

Then a few more days later.

"Hey, Corn!

Fei is back in the woods. Red Dragon.

... so Faye said.

"My favor!

Faye gave me a bundle of purchase orders. Yeah. Bundles.

... apparently, there's a huge number of requests.
