Entrustment Blunder
After strolling around casually with Kenny, we thanked each other and said our goodbyes after that I returned to the public square where the stone statue is located. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Sitting down on an empty bench, I start drawing king-sama in my sketchbook.
Illustrations are meant to beautify things. That’s why, even if I know about the real king’s slovenly appearance, I can’t depict that part realistically.
So the correct answer would be to draw just like the stone statue as I saw it. I’m sure he will be happy with this.
If this were a peaceful spring day, I would have taken a bit more time to draw it.
I would stand out conspicuously if I were to cast Fireball and float it near me so I have to bear with it.
I quickly draw as many features as I can on the paper so I won’t get cold.
「Un, it will be fine like this」
On the sketchbook is a drawing of the king Zigil-sama in the same pose as the stone statue.
It’s crude but the general features are mostly captured. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I can just add details like small ornaments later.
I don’t want to stay long in this cold royal capital I haven’t been for a while, so I fold up my sketchbook after I finish the drawing and head towards a place with few people.
After checking there was no one else around, I cast Teleport.
My vision warped and I found myself back on a road a little bit away from the mansion in an instant.
Looking at the usual scenery surrounded by greenery makes me feel calm.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been in a place where there are a lot of people until just now that I felt it even more.
I enter the mansion while having a fireball float nearby to warm the air around me.
「Welcome back」
「I’m back」
I said hello to Sara who was cleaning the entranceway and headed to my room.
I wanted to continue to dive to my bed just like that, but I forced myself to sit on the chair since the detailing work would be a hassle if I did it later.
I finish the rough illustration while recalling the stone statue in the capital.
「Yosh, it’s done」
And after nearly an hour, a fine illustration of the king-sama was completed on the paper.
Once the illustration is done next is to think about the attack method on the sides of the battle pencil.
Though, I’ve been thinking about it for a while already so there’s no need to worry about that.
I write the description clearly at the edge of the illustration.
Next, I’ll just leave it to Sylvio-niisan――nah, I’ll leave it all to him
I grab the sketchbook and move to Sylvio-niisan’s room. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Sylvio-niisan, it’s me, can I come in?」
「Sure」
I heard Sylvio-niisan’s reply and entered his room, where I found painting tools and other tools in the room.
Many vibrant colors are created, and brushes are neatly arranged.
It looks like a painting studio.
A sheet was spread on the floor and Sylvio-niisan was sitting on top of that with his hair tied back.
It seems like he is making additional battle pencils with the stuff he received from Elman.
「Sorry, I just need to paint this stuff here can you wait a moment?」
「Un, okay」
Understanding that Sylvio-niisan is concentrating on his work, I sit on the sofa at the edge.
He’s painting all those colors on such a small wooden stick. I don’t think you can do it with just your run-of-the-mill concentration.
Moving a small paintbrush with a serious expression on his face, Sylvio-niisan was already a fine craftsman.
His small back which should be considered frail for a man looked bigger than usual for some reason.
「Fuuh, sorry to keep you waiting」
「It’s okay」
「So what’s the matter?」
「I came here bringing the design for the king-sama’s motif. Could you make one based on this?」
「I can paint them but I can't draw the picture from scratch you know?」
Sylvio-niisan said while smiling wryly at me when I showed him my sketchbook.
「Eeh? Even though you can paint them all so beautifully?」
「Painting something with a shape and drawing shapes with lines are two completely different things」
I often heard about an artist who is good at drawing lines but bad at coloring.
「So I have to make a draft first?」
「Un, it would be better if Al made the draft first」
In other words, I will be in charge of drawing the lines and shapes while Sylvio-niisan will be in charge of coloring them? www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Ehー, I thought I could throw everything to Sylvio-niisan.....」
「Al, the voice in your mind leaked out you know?」
Oops, it seems that the voice in my mind has leaked out due to the shocking truth.
「Hmー, I don’t think it’s possible to draw such a detailed illustration with a hexagonal pencil」
「You need to simplify it a bit」
It would be different if there were my previous life’s printing and coloring techniques but it’s impossible to do it manually.
I thought it would be possible with Sylvio-niisan’s fine technique, but it can’t be helped if it’s impossible.
「Then, I’ll make it easier to draw」
「Un, please do」
Since it’s kinda troublesome to return to my own room, I decide to borrow Sylvio-niisan’s table and review the design here.
It will be difficult to draw the real dignity of a country’s king so I will simplify it while capturing his features.
In that case, you might think it’s not necessary to depict the stone statue in detail, but it’s important to grasp the features firmly even when simplifying it, so I have no regret.
If anything, it was helpful since the sketch was well-drawn.
Thanks to that I am able to grasp king-sama’s features fully.
Drawing the crown, I drew the facial features oval-faced and made a firm emphasis on the outline in the hairstyle.
「It’s hard to draw on the pencil even with this」
I tried drawing a line, but I still feel it’s difficult to draw on top of the pencil.
It should be simplified a little more. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Mmー, as expected I feel like this is too cute」
The next thing I drew was a king with three heads. I think it’s simpler to draw it like this, but there’s no dignity of a king at all.
It might be acceptable if it’s a sketch given by his son or daughter, he wouldn’t be happy receiving a battle pencil with this kind of motif.
After continuing to draw the illustration and simplifying trying to find the right drawing I would be satisfied with, I finally managed to create something on the seventh design.
「Yosh, I think I can use this」
I thought the design was already set so it might be a good time for a casual conversation with Sylvio-niisan, but he was applying colors to the battle pencils with a serious look on his face.
He was doing it even before I started with my design, but it seems like he’s still doing it.
Amazing, you can clearly see his concentration when you see him from the side.
As expected, it will be a pity to interrupt his concentration with the conversation.
I’ve completed the design anyway so I guess I should also draw the draft now.
It’s a hassle, but once it’s over I can just completely leave everything to Sylvio-niisan.
You can say that my job is almost done.
Let’s finish this troublesome work quickly and relax.
Telling that to myself, I picked up the base for the drawing and started to make the draft without slacking off.
◆
「Fuuh, I guess it’s done with this」
「Good job, Al」
After I finished with the draft of the base model, Sylvio-niisan - who was beside me - offered me compliments. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Thank you. All that’s left is to have Sylvio-niisan paint it」
「I’m really nervous about it since this will be presented to the king-sama, but I will do my best. Leave the rest to me」
Leave the rest to me. How reassuring was that line when you hear it as a corporate slave?
Sylvio-niisan - who can say such a thing calmly - probably has the talent to stand above others. He also gives me a compliment for what I did, I would be filled with admiration for him if I were his subordinate.
「Have you finished that part too?」
「Un, I have finished coating it just now I am now letting it dry」
When I tried to look at it after he said that to me, I realized that the room was already a little dark.
It’s bright with the magic Light, but you can see that it’s night when you look outside the window.
「Eh? It’s already nighttime」
「You used magic without realizing it. And it's as Al said, it’s already night」
Sylvio-niisan said with a chuckle.
Apparently, I cast Light unconsciously back there to brighten up the room.
I really had no recollection of using magic myself.
I probably use it unconsciously, thinking that I need more light.
「It’s strange they didn’t call us for dinner」
「They did, but you’re so immersed in your work so I told them to return later. We had our portion brought here, see」
There are two trays that look like our dinner at the place where Sylvio-niisan is pointing.
By this time all the other family members should have finished eating.
It’s also a pain to bring them to the dining room to eat.
「Let’s eat our dinner here today?」
「Un, it’s also kind of a fresh experience to eat together in my room」
Apparently, making battle pencils for the king is enough reason to exempt us from being called for dinner. As expected from the king-sama. Amazing.
「The soup is a little cold already. I’m going to warm it up with magic」
「Please」
Although it wasn’t as lively as usual when we ate with the whole family member, eating a meal with just the two of us like this is also not bad. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
