Chapter 237 – Volume 48 – The Rumble of the Rough Waterside (2)
“As expected, it feels good to see you like this.”
“Because I really like painting.”
“Don’t you fall in love when you look at it? There are so many beautiful works like this.”
While I came to submit an exhibition painting for reservation to the exhibition hall.
I am slowly looking around the exhibition hall.
There were so many works to watch that I didn’t notice even if time melted away.
“Ha… I’m always worried.”
“What?”
“Watching other pictures, watching cartoons… I’m really happy when I enjoy content. But if I spend too much time on it, I won’t be able to draw.”
“It’s natural.”
“I’m so sorry. I want to do both.”
“He’s greedy.”
Of course you know that it’s unavoidable.
The work isn’t finished yet, but I think I should enjoy it today.
Yes, you have to have an input to have an output.
“These days, there are a lot of pictures that remind me of ‘non-conforming people at the swordsmanship academy’.”
“Ah, that’s right.”
The center of the controversy these days is the part that you can reach a high skill with a weapon other than a sword.
Originally, because of the difference in accessibility between swordsmanship and magic, it was not likely to spread to the painting side.
In the first place, it’s not their weapon or ability, so it’s hard to use it often as a material to draw a picture.
Of course, a certain work would have been used as a material, but it is normal if it is not to the level of the current trend.
However, wizards also became very interested in this material due to the ‘non-conforming person of the swordsmanship academy’.
Thanks to that, pictures using weapons other than swords were spreading like a trend.
In fact, the thing that felt most unbalanced among them was the gun.
There are blacksmiths who try to make magic guns that can actually hold auras.
There are so many types of guns drawn in the picture…
‘It’s nice.’
Although the shape is very different from modern firearms.
The firearms, which were designed with the application of magic in mind, were beautiful in their own way and showed the personality of the person who made them.
Even the use has already been distinguished, and the form is starting to take shape.
When I looked at these works, I was deeply moved.
‘I didn’t just collect it.’
People at the exhibition hall are always thinking about how to display the works to make them stand out more.
After all, where does that time and vibe go?
Today’s viewing was also very emotional and satisfying.
“Wow, it’s a dragon.”
The person who drew it must be really fearless.
Of course, there are no reports of dragons being seen these days.
If a dragon sees it, wouldn’t it be offended by a human daring to cheat on a dragon?
Of course, it was only a joke, because this painting was not about a dragon losing to humans.
It was a drawing that gave the dragon its full strength, so it was a very cool and wonderful work.
The finely drawn details of each scale give you goosebumps.
And the details of the small, weak-looking humans facing such a dragon are also good.
Tankers and melee melee support.
With the components of the party properly matched, admiration came out for the neatness of the appearance against the huge enemy.
With a job and weapon that suits his position, he is acting in a very historical way.
The clergy, who are supporters, sing hymns, and the wizard, who is a one-hander, draws a magic circle.
Tankers put an aura on their shield, and melee players put an aura on their sword.
It’s because the natural thing is so spleen and dynamic.
If you pass by and catch your eye, it has the power to make you look at it for a long time.
“Are there a lot of fresh manga?”
“Yeah, these days there are a lot of things that go on like ‘Sleep on the Calm Waterside’.”
“It’s a good phenomenon.”
It’s difficult to make a game book with multiple choices.
The Miyeonsi style, which only requires taking the heroine branch route, is worth a try.
It felt like more cartoonists were trying than before when gamebooks were popular.
‘Actually, this really should come out unprepared.’
It’s difficult because computers haven’t been built yet.
If you can create a world where you can draw pictures with a computer later and share comics or pictures with a computer.
Maybe you can watch a bunch of games like that?
“Whoop whoop…”
“Carly, you’re laughing so insidiously. Are you thinking dirty thoughts?”
“Lia.”
“Yes?”
“Lia will be an assistant teacher next year, right?”
“Yes.”
The academy is a 4-year program, but actually attending the academy is 3 years.
So, the uniform is only worn for 3 years, and the color is passed on to the next 1st grader.
In the final year, she assists the professor as a teaching assistant, or presents a thesis based on her own research for one year.
In other words, now Rosaria has learned everything about basic magic.
Then next year, if I ask Rosaria for the parts I haven’t learned yet, she’ll be able to slowly start developing computers.
The era of digital painters is not far away.
Of course, it’s not a situation that Rosaria allowed.
Rosalia can write and submit her thesis as a by-product of that research.
Then he would be able to spend more time with me, so he would probably agree unconditionally.
‘…Well, I don’t really have enough ideas to be so sure.’
Still, it’s not as bleak as last year.
Now, I think I can make a computer with basic performance.
Originally, this kind of thing, you have to start a project and see it yourself before you can move forward.
“So, why are you laughing so hard?”
“I’m planning to have a lot of accidents next year. It’s fun to imagine.”
“Accident?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t think it’s possible that next year, I’ll intensively search for women and make them pregnant all over again…!”
“Kah, Carly. Did you have a plan? You should have told me if you had one.”
“There must have been. Don’t take what Yuria says seriously.”
“It’s not convincing because Kali, who captured 5 people in 2 years, says it.”
“Grunt.”
Actually there are 6 people.
But when you say it like this, it sounds like garbage.
I don’t know how it got so many women.
“As expected, next year, I can’t accept juniors in my club. I can’t do it even if I have skills.”
If you think about it, most of them were the cartoon club.
Girls with good skills come in here, and after getting close to them, they came all the way here before they knew it.
“I think it’s okay for Carly to have more.”
“That’s your opinion. Because I don’t like it? Kali body is one. I’ll admit that I have several, but I’m against it if it grows. I have to prevent what can be prevented.”
“Oh, I didn’t come up with that idea. Now that I’ve heard it, you’re right. At first, I thought it would be nice if more people became happy with Kali. In the end, it was no different than sharing my happiness.”
What the hell are you guys talking about in the exhibition hall?
I gave up on the conversation and ran away from the two of them, and moved to the place where the ‘Rough Waterfront’ was to be exhibited.
You should probably be ready by now.
“Is it huge?”
“I know.”
A strangely unusual size picture of the main character, Mizugi, is on display.
Next to it, there is a document with the contents of the reservation.
…And everyone who found out about the reservation was making a reservation first.
No, it’s not some kind of sticker bread, buy it once you see it.
Even though they were spending their own money, they noticed that they were grateful for letting them spend it.
…It’s me who’s thankful.
“Isn’t it about time you got used to it?”
“I’m not used to it.”
In fact, is this the first time this has happened?
To be honest, it’s a scene I’ve seen countless times every time I get a reservation.
Even so, this overflowing emotion is still there, so I can’t help but think that I have to work harder…
“Hmm? But what is that given to the person who made a reservation? Was it an instant purchase, not a reservation?”
“Ah. That.”
This work is a follow-up to ‘Sleep at the Calm Waterside’.
It depicts the aftermath of the micro route, which was the most main route.
However, for some people, other routes may be legitimate, not micro routes.
A device that makes it understandable, or something that gives probability was needed.
So I decided to add something similar to the after story for each ending.
In the after story, the micros who were not selected for different reasons became out of control.
I drew a cartoon with the concept of going back to the past and taking a different route.
For example, what about the after story of Sling’s route?
At this time, Mermaid Island falls into chaos as Sling runs away, and the system of Mermaid Island gradually begins to collapse.
That’s why Mermaid Island was drawn in a miserable state in the second half of the sling route.
In the end, the officials of Mermaid Island tried to solve this situation somehow.
The method he chose was to overuse Micro and forcibly send him back to the past.
Even after going back like that, I make the leash around the neck of the sling tighter so that this doesn’t happen again.
In other words, they are the contents that make the story probabilities to reach the micro route no matter which route is chosen in the end.
Since it is an after story, the content is not that long, so even if it contained all the stories of the four people, one book was enough.
So, only this part was able to be conveyed in advance to those who made reservations, feeling like a trailer.
“Oh, so you’ve been here once before.”
“Yeah. The manuscript I gave you at that time has been produced until now, so it’s just the timing of the reservation.”
Of course, at first I drew it as a manga to be included in the completed sequel.
Because the schedule was messed up in many ways, this was completed much earlier than the bonus illustration for reservations.
I thought it would be possible to mass-produce it before the reservation started, so I tried it after talking with the exhibition hall.
“If there’s a trailer, don’t you look forward to the main story?”
“Isn’t that a comic book for that amount?”
…Anyway, it’s a trailer.
