Chapter 75 – Volume 15 – Incarnate Conception (5)
“Then I’ll go.”
“Yeah, even if you go out, make sure to eat breakfast.”
“No, mother?”
“Carly doesn’t take care of herself. Does she care?”
Nia, I don’t know why he keeps taking care of me like this.
The other day, he said he thought I should sleep well and said he would wake me up at dawn and left me alone…
Do I feel so sorry for the people around me?
‘…Maybe?’
I didn’t think so, so I didn’t notice.
Perhaps it was because he had been so busy lately, but his face did not make sense.
Well, recently I’ve been working a lot with my work and club work.
“Hmm…”
“Carly, I keep closing my eyes.”
“I also…”
“Rosaria-senpai, you’ve worked hard. Callido.”
Orca moves the picture carefully.
Yuria took care of the half-sleeping Rosaria and me.
We were both pretty dizzy with the recording magic that turned the background black until bedtime.
I thought that if I tried this a little more, the results would come out, so I kept trying.
This happened because I went to bed too late.
Anyway, I’m glad I got a satisfactory result.
“Wow, it still feels good to see it completed like this.”
In addition to the original painting, I asked the exhibition hall to change the background of the title of the work.
Thanks to this, when the background changes instantaneously to become another picture, the title of the work is also changed.
That’s why this work became a form in which a work called ‘Happy Daily Life’ with a white background and a work called ‘Real Life’ with a black background coexist.
‘It’s very natural.’
I tried various shapes, but the way this picture changes was taken as a motif from the flickering of lights.
Of course, this world is powered by magic, so no such system exists.
Still, there was a subtle atmosphere in the form of blinking briefly, then remaining long, and then turning off.
It’s because it doesn’t just blink, it feels like it spreads like fog spreading due to the characteristic of ‘dark magic’.
Because this shortens the magic in the middle, it’s like trying to erode.
It gave a feeling of being eroded in the end, and it was nice to feel the viciousness unique to darkness.
“It’s a little disappointing that we can’t sell copies.”
“I can’t help it because I can’t feel this taste with a copy.”
After all, there is no technology for high-performance printing on transparent glass.
I think this is hard to make a copy of for a while.
Well, that’s why I feel like this work shines more light.
Because it shatters the stereotypes about pictures that are generally held.
“Yeah, let’s have some free time and see you later. Isn’t the cafe there nice?”
“Let’s do that. But you’re not going to sleep after saying that, are you?”
“…I was going to go home early today anyway, but I don’t really want to sleep that long.”
You shouldn’t sleep.
It’s because of this collaboration that I’m in town today, but there are other things as well.
It’s not that I’m in a hurry, but it’s a bit like sleeping behind schedule.
“It’s been a while. Haumm…”
“You look very tired.”
“I had to sleep late yesterday. I’m busy with my work, but I’m dying to even worry about Master’s work.”
“Ah, I saw a work that Carly-sama participated in. I was surprised by the sudden change in the picture? A picture that partially used recording magic…”
“Ah, that’s it.”
“When the picture changes, it reminds me of the time when the children were being eroded in the battlefield of Hwashin?”
“It definitely looked alike.”
To be honest, it feels like both of them are being invaded.
Since the design of the phenomenon itself is based on the diffusion of reality as a motif, there are similarities in design.
Of course you might feel that way.
“Is this the final manuscript?”
“Yes, I’d like a sample, please.”
First of all, the final manuscript of ‘Conceived in Incarnation’ was completed not too long ago, so handing it over was the first thing I had to do today.
Actually, I finished all the contents of the comic, but it took me a while to invest time to draw the cover part.
To be honest, I can’t draw Albedo, who goes away because of a tattoo, with a light heart.
I’m always sincere when I draw a character’s climactic scene.
Ah, the fact that I drew one more large illustration to put it in the back of the book is also the reason it took so long.
“This cover has a very different vibe, doesn’t it?”
“Yes?”
If you unfold it, a familiar atmosphere will unfold at the beginning because of Albedo recovering and fighting dangerous enemies.
Just looking at the cover, it seems like the content that only shows erotic things like ‘Happiness comes from the heart’ I drew the other day.
In reality, it was not even a cover fraud because it was getting more and more colored with that kind of atmosphere.
‘Well, it’s a part where I take a break after all.’
This kind of work is always like that.
After having a resting part like this, it’s the law to burst into a proper story.
Of course, in general, while adding a healing part, it leaves an unsettling hint.
In this work, while proceeding with an erotic part, the cause of the erotic part itself leaves an unsettling hint.
If you look closely, it means that the children are forced to fight until their normal lives are eroded.
“Did you get a lot of reservations?”
“Yes, but most of them also include extras in their reservations, right?”
“…Master would be delighted. To think that everyone is willing to buy something you don’t even know what it is.”
“He is such a person.”
Rather, he must have thought that if he didn’t buy it just to save money, he might get less of the impression he gets from this work.
This means that you believed in me before you even saw the work, so I am very grateful.
“And a sample of that extra product, too.”
“This is actually something I had to step up on, thank you so much.”
“No. They said they sold it together. That’s enough. It’s not someone else’s, it’s the new artist Siwoo.”
Of course, the additional product being talked about here was a womb tattoo sticker developed as a good product for Incarnation Conception.
The one with gradation was much prettier, so I submitted the background color to copy the color.
I also submitted the shape of the womb tattoo by color, and asked to cut the sticker according to that shape.
“But why is there a small tattoo here?”
“Ah, that’s it.”
But basically, this is made one by one, right?
Then, there are bound to be a lot of empty spaces, so I requested a background and cutting line to make two more small womb tattoo stickers in this space.
It won’t make much of a difference in production costs anyway.
“One is extra, and I’ll show you one when a sample of the manga comes out.”
“What the hell…”
I didn’t just make this up.
In this work, on the last page, I put in a color picture that looks like a group photo together.
This was actually a place where these sticker goods had additional uses.
In this all-color painting, there is the only part where there is no color.
“No way…”
“It’s the same size as the womb tattoos on the characters you see here.”
So, if you stick it on beautifully, you can complete a color picture, even the womb tattoo.
You even have to buy all the womb tattoos to get them perfect.
To be honest, it’s a gimmick, but the goods that satisfy the desire to collect like this are full of mulberries.
Still, I had a minimum conscience, so I decided to keep the profit I make from goods to a minimum and sell them at almost cost.
Wow, but these stickers are of really good quality.
I simply put the sticker on the back of my hand, and it was quite comfortable to wear because it adhered naturally like some kind of skin.
“It’s a lot better quality than anything I’ve seen before. It looks like it’s meant to be applied to human flesh.”
“I told him that painter Siwoo was using that technique, and he suddenly came back with a haggard face and handed it to me.”
“Oh…”
There are a lot of people I am really grateful for on this occasion.
It’s my work, so it’s like the angelic fans who don’t know what it is, but they’ll buy it with me.
There are people who say that they will use technology for goods, and there are people who help by beating themselves up to improve the quality.
“Now, if I attach everything like this… It’s okay, right?”
“Is this really strange?”
The downside is that if you put it on wrong, it’s hard to take it off again.
With this improvement, the way to remove the sticker was changed from medicine to magic, and that was also solved.
A sticker that sticks firmly, but easily falls off when magic is used.
I think this part is definitely more convenient than the other world.
“But then, doesn’t that mean that people who can’t use magic can’t be removed?”
“You said it couldn’t be helped?”
If you don’t ask a wizard around you, you’ll have to wear it for the rest of your life.
The adhesive method has changed, so it does not come off with existing chemicals.
You mean you have to recreate the magic circle in the manual and remove it?
…Isn’t that a bit dangerous?
“Anyway, you can make the same number of 5 types and then mix them up and sell them without knowing what the contents are?”
“Yes, basically. There is a sixth of this. Can you produce this in thousand units by substituting five for every thousand?”
“Uh, isn’t this something that doesn’t appear in the manga?”
“It appears in the next work of the Hwashin series, but I heard that it is used to surprise by appearing in advance.”
Nigredo’s black tattoo, Dreamcatcher, and Chitrinitas’ yellow tattoo, Altermind.
Rubedo’s red tattoo, Tempetition, and Viriditas’ green tattoo, Faber.
Albedo’s white tattoo, Soul Chain, and finally, Opus, a rainbow tattoo that did not appear in this work.
It is like selling a lottery in which one of the six tattoos appears.
To be honest, a 0.5% chance of drawing is on the low side.
Still, it can’t be helped because it’s a strategy to make it rare on purpose and make the existence itself feel like an urban legend.
If it doesn’t show up often, you’ll be confused whether it’s a tattoo made by a fan or an official tattoo drawn by a real artist.
