Chapter 32 – Volume 7 – What the Fuck Is That (2)
“Wow, that’s a long line.”
A woman let out a sigh as she surveyed the endless lines.
On the release date of ‘Hwashin Passion’, the follow-up to ‘Hwashin Advent’ she had been waiting for, she was holding a Hwashin Advent stamped with a reservation stamp, and she was waiting in a very long line.
This is because it was a system in which, if you show Hwashin Advent with a stamp, you put a stamp of delivery completion next to it and hand over the new work, Hwashin Passion.
It was a little dissatisfying to her, however, that her exchanges were taking too long because she had too many recipients.
“I can’t help it because it’s a hugely booked work, but it still takes too long.”
Now, the time to receive her book is approaching, but since she has already been waiting for hours, it is natural for her to be dissatisfied.
To put it bluntly, cases where people had to deal with bottles sold by merchants because they couldn’t go to the bathroom separately, or bought food sold by merchants because they were hungry were often happening nearby.
“Only the merchants were excited. Well, if you do business here, you’ll do great.”
“Customer?”
“Oh, it’s my turn? Finally…!”
“Yes, show me the reservation stamp. Oh, you only reserved Hwashin Passion. Please get it from the right side and put the payment completion stamp.”
I was moved by the pre-registration reward, the bookmark for a copy of the special illustration, and the cover with an illustration I had never seen before.
Of course, I thought the cover had the same illustration as the bookmark, but it was something else?
So, people who didn’t buy it in advance and don’t have a bookmark can’t own this illustration?
“I’m really glad…”
If she hadn’t booked and found out later, she would have regretted it immensely.
Not to mention admiring that her choices she had made in the past were so outstanding.
The difficult time of waiting for several hours just melted away, and I returned home with a very happy feeling.
“Wow, it’s brilliant. Even compared to Advent of Incarnation, it’s incredibly thick.”
She laughed broadly as she looked around at her incarnation passion, then she frowned because she thought the picture on her side was odd for some reason.
Could this have been copied incorrectly?
In Hwashin Advent, some of the cover pictures of Hwashin Advent were shown on the left.
Why this time, it’s not an illustration of Hwashin Passion, but something else…
“Ah…!”
She uttered admiration at her deep meaning, which can only be seen after overlapping the two books.
Since this is the next story, the illustrations are supposed to be continued from the previous volume.
Seriously, how is the artist Siwoo able to come up with such genius ideas?
No matter how much she thinks about it, she sighs, saying that a genius can never catch up.
“Ah, this is not the time. Let’s read it quickly.”
In order to read Hwashin Passion today, I memorized the contents of Hwashin Advent until yesterday.
It must have ended with Nigredo coming to Albedo in the end, right?
So, would you like to start there?
Indeed, as she predicted, the cartoon began right after Nigredo and Albedo met.
Nigredo told her that her own strength was not enough, and asked Albedo to help her fight as well.
As much as Albedo loathes her own mediocrity, she naturally accepted the request and entered her Magnum Academy.
“It’s an academy, but there’s no uniform?
Erosion, the enemy the characters fight in the work, is a secret unknown to the general public.
Of course, the academy where those who fight the erosion must be kept secret.
She continued to turn the pages of her comic book, nodding her head to and fro.
“Oh, cute! What are the new kids coming out?”
In particular, she seems to have a temper, but she seemed to like the cute Rubedo, so she started taking notes of the number of pages in which Rubedo appeared.
She had recently been practicing drawing with characters from Hwashin Advent, and it seemed she was thinking of drawing Rubedo next.
“Wow, the fire is so pretty. It’s obviously all black, but I can tell who the fire is by looking at the fire…”
No matter how much she thought about it, she mumbled that the painter Siu was a monster, and she eagerly indulged in the story.
Especially Rubedo, who is hot-blooded, had a problem and she had an episode where she struggled alone.
At that time, seeing Rubedo crying really sadly, she was moved to tears for no reason.
“It’s also fun…”
In the end, Hwashin Passion is a story that feels like a diary in which not only new characters but also existing characters reveal themselves through events and grow.
If you listen to it like this, it may sound boring and uninteresting, but a very interesting incident occurred and the process of solving it was designed to be fun.
Even the emotions contained in it were so enormous that it made it impossible to immerse yourself unconditionally, to the point that it was difficult to evaluate anything other than admiration.
First of all, I looked at comic books focusing on the story, and this time I started to progress slowly, pointing out the beauty of each picture.
To be honest, like I said before, the description of fire was the part where I really admired it.
Rubedo’s appearance was also chosen so pretty that I thought I would buy her happiness.
“Really, our Rube is too cute… Huh?”
While looking at her comics so intently, she noticed something odd.
In the case of transforming into an incarnation, all the characters take off their clothes and transform because all the clothes are on fire.
The very beautiful part of the process is now starting to feel a bit strange.
“At first, it was just a rough transformation flow, so I was frustrated, so I passed it quickly so I didn’t know… What the hell is that?”
As I glanced past, I thought she was just taking off a normal corset, but upon closer inspection, it was something completely different from a corset.
Up to her chest, it resembles a corset, but strangely, there is no part that tightens her waist.
No, it’s like cutting off a plain corset that holds her breasts in place, leaving only the top.
“Is this underwear…?”
First of all, you can see it as underwear because it appeared after taking off the clothes you were wearing on the outside.
Considering only the area covered, it feels similar to a cloth that lightly ties up the chest when not using a corset.
But instead of covering it up with fists, it felt like it was supporting her breasts in a fixed form like a corset.
In many ways, she was dizzy at the strange-looking underwear she had never seen before.
If Siwoo drew a picture like this, I think it must have meaning.
I didn’t understand it at all now.
“Why do you need that?”
Of course, I think it is a design that is much easier to take off than the corset I know.
But then you just have to wear nothing, so why the hell are there clothes that I’ve never seen in my life?
Not even one character, but all the characters were wearing underwear of different designs.
“I put a lot of effort into the part where I took it off, and I worked really hard on expressing the image of me falling off after taking it off…?”
But it’s as if he’s trying to show off on purpose.
If it’s not very important, there’s no need to work so hard on directing it, right?
“Pastor Siwoo originally submitted his work as Deforme to promote Deforme painting, right?”
And then, to publicize the cartoon, he drew and exhibited Hwasin Advent.
As if there was something to be learned in this world of painting, it was like solving a dreadful thing one by one.
Even free distribution of screen tones for the development of comics is a very famous story among painters and wizards these days.
“Surely, ‘Elf dreaming of an orc is frustrated today’ contains the unfair sorrow of an orc and a half-orc.”
Thanks to that, the prejudice against orcs and half-orcs among quite a few human wizards has disappeared like snow.
A nobleman who has put so much great things into his work, suddenly put something out of the ordinary into this work?
It’s not a material that can be taken lightly, but I thought it would be something with a very important meaning.
“Ah, Mr. Seriously. How do you know wizards can’t stand things like this?”
How do I know
Since he himself is a great wizard, he must know better than anyone else.
So i’m more annoyed
I was reading and enjoying such an interesting story, but the professor puts a message in a place like this as if hiding an exam question?
No matter how you think about it, painter Siwoo was a person with too many corners.
Still, is it fortunate that I didn’t pay attention to this from the beginning and read the story from the beginning?
“Aagh! I’m going crazy!”
No matter how much I think about it, no plausible idea comes to mind.
She started looking through all of her work, just in case there was a name for this strange undergarment.
I don’t think I saw it when I read it earlier, but I might have skipped it because it’s the first time I’ve seen it, right?
“Oh, I finally found a word I didn’t know!”
I’m not really sure if this is the name I’ve been looking for for that strange undergarment.
However, it is common to expect that if there is a word you hear for the first time and an object you see for the first time, the two will be related.
Even the place where that word came out was the part where Chitrinitas handed Rubedo the strange underwear and told her to take good care of it.
So, first of all, since it is likely to be the name of the underwear, I decided to assume and think about it that way.
“If you read it as it is… A bra? Is it correct to read it like this?”
What is this bra that I have never seen in my life? Did Siwoo give us this as homework?
She sighed and continued to flip through the pages of her incarnated passion.
