Chapter 88 – Volume 18 – People Who Walk on Time (3)
As she headed to the exhibition hall at her reserved time, the woman tried to calm her pounding heart a little by sweeping her breasts.
As always, on the day she received her reserved work, the impression she had received in the past came back to her mind.
She couldn’t control her beating heart.
“Huh, finally…”
The next volume of ‘Elf dreaming of an affair with an orc is frustrating today’, which I never thought would come out.
When she first heard the news, she was really surprised, and at that time, the various emotions she felt while watching the cartoon passed by and caused a strange impression.
It’s a pity that it’s not the next volume of the incarnation series, but I couldn’t help but look forward to it.
In fact, even if it was a completely new work, wouldn’t she have expected it?
That’s understandable, because the work of painter Siwoo has never disappointed her.
In particular, the womb tattoo sticker, which she started selling along with her last work, was one of her favorite fashion items that she still keeps and sticks on.
‘Wow, there are so many people wearing stickers.’
Apparently, painting itself is a hobby of wizards with a high proportion of women.
Even if it wasn’t that, there were few cases where men read books, so most of the people waiting were women.
Among them, there are many people who make reservations because they want to see the works of artist Siwoo as soon as possible, so it must be that the percentage of people who deliberately wear clothes that expose their stomachs and wear stickers on their wombs is high.
“Isn’t this the number of incarnations enough to run away fearing erosion?”
As she joked to herself, she noticed that it was her turn.
She was delighted to go to receive a real copy of her work.
How do you feel about the cover of this work?
Contents is?
To be honest, when I booked her work, the teddy bear that the elf was talking to and bullying about was just drawn in an old state.
Just to let you know that it’s a sequel to this series, there were no details.
She received the book with great anticipation, and as soon as she did, the slightly aged orcs and elves caught her eye.
‘Oh, it’s cute…’
And what fascinated her with her follow-up was a small elf child with a big smile between the two of her.
Looking at the small fangs growing out of his mouth, it must be that Harp, the child of an Elf and an Orc, who was born in the previous game, has grown up.
At the end of the last work, the cuteness of the harp, which continues from those days when I was small, seemed to be a work that was no joke.
“And the pre-registration reward is this.”
“Ah, yes.”
Of course, I thought it would be like a small postcard like the Hwashin series.
Unlike that, the elongated one was a design that could be used on any ship’s ticket.
No, beyond that, it was a perfect ticket with not only pictures but also other designs mixed together.
“Ticket…?”
“Yes. If you have this ticket, you can enter and see the special exhibition hall that is open to the public in advance.”
It was an exhibition hall, so I was embarrassed to come up with an unexpected story.
Seeing that it’s a pre-release, it seems like a work that hasn’t been announced yet.
Whose…
“Could it be the work of artist Siu!?”
“That’s right. It’s related to this new work, so please come and see it after reading all the contents.”
Of course, if you have it, you can go back and watch it again throughout the pre-release period.
Anyway, obviously I also bought additional products that were sold additionally this time.
It’s not visible
“And did you buy additional products?”
“Ah, yes.”
“For those who purchased additional products, we are giving this ticket without stamping it. You can come and see it later, stamp it and receive it.”
“Oh, isn’t it right away?”
“Because the additional merchandise is a copy of the artwork displayed there.”
Crazy.
She cursed herself involuntarily.
That’s why you should watch the original movie for the first time, not a copy, and then get a copy.
In many ways, artist Siwoo is very considerate in this area.
“Thank you.”
In fact, I wanted to see the work right away before people flocked to it.
It reminded me of what I was told to come after reading the manga.
With a sigh, I had no choice but to find a nearby lodging…
“No, really?”
But because she had so many people who thought the same as her.
All of the remaining lodgings in the capital were in a state of disrepair.
She had no choice but to grab one of her empty cafes and read her comics there.
What was fortunate was that most of the people inside were reading ‘An elf who dreams of having an affair with an orc is still frustrated tomorrow’?
In a much quieter cafe atmosphere than usual, it was full of women reading manga.
She laughed, thinking that everyone thought alike, and she opened her own comic book too.
‘Let’s see…’
After Harp’s birth, she notices the elves and orcs taking care of Harp, who is still her newborn baby.
The image of an elf suffering from breastfeeding her baby, bruising her chest, or her trustworthy orc helping her.
She laughed involuntarily at the sight of that cute family.
‘Would I have been like that when I was younger?’
Her mother said that she dared to feed her daughter with her own breast milk, and she eagerly fed her breast milk.
I’ve heard that she’s had a hard time, she’s been through it all.
She wondered if she felt the same way.
Especially the elf who didn’t show any embarrassed expression except when he was confessed.
As soon as she starts having her baby, she gets flustered and freaked out and tired of everything.
In that part, she realizes that being a true mother is hard work.
‘… I think it was her mother’s birthday some time later. I need to see you.’
She said she was busy with work and was only going to send her a gift.
Looking at this, it seemed that she was a real bad daughter if she went over like that.
Even if the distance is a bit far, if we break everything off while on vacation, we’ll be able to manage it somehow.
“Heehee, heehee…Everyone is really cute…”
It’s obviously tempting to go to bed with her in a playful way like you saw in the previous work.
Even though her fresh air of being shy about it has weakened a lot.
It’s a very good feeling to have such a lively family atmosphere.
As she frantically flipped through the pages, she read quite a bit when she came to her senses.
At that moment, I was embarrassed because I didn’t know when the harp had suddenly grown so big.
There was a feeling that she was growing little by little, but now she’s grown up.
‘Oh, it’s been a while.’
And as soon as her daughter becomes an adult, she starts flirting with the elves while flirting with them.
The sex scene of the orc accepting it while not being able to overcome it felt warm rather than erotic.
And even as an adult, the immature harp was still cute.
‘Harp, you’ve completely turned into a beauty.’
Her pretty face, just like her mother’s, and the atmosphere oddly resembling an orc.
At the same time, the small fang-like teeth really touched her heart.
She only read manga, but felt the satisfaction of raising a child by proxy.
For some reason, her desire to find a man herself, marry her, and raise children blossomed after a long time.
“What?”
But isn’t the line a bit dull?
Until now, round paintings have always given me a warm feeling.
I felt a little rough texture that I use when something happens, so I became anxious.
If you think about it, this manga was still a time when there was discrimination between orcs and half-orcs, right?
She carefully flipped through her pages, wondering if something like that would come out.
Something completely different than expected came out.
‘Hold on, hold on…’
Let’s see the emaciated orc complaining about his health.
She was surprised to see the contrast with the appearance of an orc, which had always symbolized strength.
And the moment she talked about ‘life’ in her comics, it felt like she got hit in the back of the head.
If you think about it, elves and orcs are known to have a different lifespan than humans.
We can have each other’s harps, so we’re all treated as people.
In reality, even the length of life was different.
Elves live a much longer life than humans.
The fact that she lives with an orc who lives a shorter life than that human.
In the end, from the point of view of the elves, it is a very quick breakup.
Everyone had forgotten in the midst of a happy life.
That heartless reality began to be seen only the moment it finally arrived in front of my eyes.
Of course, Orc’s health deteriorated a bit, but he was still fine, and it ended with a very happy family.
The image of the elf secretly crying while holding her harp was embedded in her mind and she did not think it would disappear.
“I’m out of breath…”
It feels like her chest is clogged up.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been laughing along with the life of that family until now, but the future decided ending that contrasts with that.
It made me suffer a lot more than I thought.
“Whoa… Really, nothing in particular happened.”
It felt like the ending was imaginary, so I felt like my emotions would come up again and again.
I wake up at the cafe holding back my tears, only then do I notice the ticket I received as a reward for pre-registration.
“This is kind of scary…”
You said it was clearly related to this new work.
For some reason, I was afraid to watch it because I thought it would be a work that continues the story.
Of course, even if that’s the case, it’s more embarrassing to move on without seeing it, so even if you’re afraid, it’s a part you have to bump into.
“Well, by any chance, the elf who dreams of having an affair with an orc…”
“Oh, the pre-exhibition hall? You can come this way. There is a limit on the number of people inside, so please wait a little bit.”
Every time the string gets shorter, the sound of my beating heart spreads to my head.
She entered the exhibition hall in a state of extreme tension.
And the entrance was not from the front of the large framed work, but from the side, so the contents of the work began to be seen from the side.
“Whew…”
What caught her nervous eyes was a picture of a normal family of three laughing together.
As soon as she saw it, she said she was glad, relaxed all her tension, and started watching with a comfortable mind.
