I got an idea! It was so hard that I regretted starting the project so carelessly. It was my own idea and I tried to do my best, but art is a devil for me.

The great spirits were serious, except for Nomos and Vita. Even the more conservative If showed a strong commitment to the work, repeatedly making minor corrections. Nomos and Vita left after some similarity, saying that this was good enough.

Mr. Artero said to me, "Well, I understand that everyone is obsessed with beautiful women, but maybe men should put a little more effort into their work too. I was a little embarrassed when he said that.

Because I couldn't see the spirits, I was the only one who was so excited that I was seriously ordering them to paint a picture of a beautiful woman. I'm just an interpreter. .......

The Belles had a very hard time. The Great Spirits love them very much, so naturally, they don't cut corners like they did with Nomos and Vita.

Are Moon and Pru OK with this? Mr. Carlo raised a question about it, but there was no problem because he drew it beautifully with a three-dimensional effect. Moon and Pul-chan are very happy.

Well, I don't intend to make a random drawing of Belle and her friends, so I had no problem with that, but Belle and Fukuchan were very excited to see their own faces on the picture. They were so excited to have their faces painted on the board or to fly around the room.

There were many incidents that made them impatient, such as an unnatural wind blowing or Bell and his friends lifting up the paintings that they had just finished. I was very surprised when Mr. Artero and Mr. Carlo tilted their heads.

Gina and Mel also seemed to be nervous when their contracted spirits were being painted, and it might have been a slightly uncomfortable job for the two artists.

"Yuta, beru no ekimete!"

Belle clutches at my head and begs me. I'd like to grant Belle's request, but if I show it to her, the other children will want to see it, too, and I'll lose control of the situation.

(Let's go back to the inn and take a good look at it together. Can you hold out until then?)

"Uh-uh, Belle, I'll be patient!"

Belle, who is usually a very good listener and never says anything selfish, must have liked her picture very much if she thought about it for a while.

(Belle is a very good girl.)

I praised him in a whisper, and he flew away smiling and laughing. I would have loved to pet him, but the artist's eyes are on me, so I can't. Then Meral, who had been standing in line behind me, quietly returned to Mel. She was probably going to ask him to do the same thing.

The paper is going to get saggy from all the times I keep putting it in and out. I need a frame. Speaking of which, where can I get a frame? I'll ask him before I forget.

"Mr. Artero, where do you sell picture frames?"

I ask Mr. Artero, whose hand has just stopped.

"A frame, or a thin wooden frame that I put on the painting when I give it to you, but that's not good enough, is it?"

For a moment, I thought that would be okay, but I want to hang a picture of all the spirits in each room, and I want to give it to Mel. I want something more substantial.

Yes, I'd like to have a proper one if possible.

"Then you'll have to order from a craftsman. I know a craftsman who can do it for you.

Of course. It's a world where mass production is unthinkable, and getting a painting done is a luxury in itself. The frames would have to be custom-made. I'd rather have Nomos make a glass plate and insert it into the frame, so I'd rather make it myself than order one. I can't decorate it, but I can cut it to size.

"No, I don't know when I'm going to leave the labyrinth city, so I'll get it at my place.

"Well, it's going to take quite a while, so maybe that's a good idea."

Yes, I'm sorry to have disturbed you.

It's okay, it's okay, it's a nice change of pace. I'm almost done.

Mr. Artero is concentrating on his painting again. Was it too much to paint five pictures of all the spirits? You both look like you're in a lot of trouble. Sebas and the maids brought us tea and snacks, but it was awkward to eat them in front of Belle and Fuchu.

When I went outside for a short break and secretly handed the sandwiches to the crowds of belles, I felt like a parent bird carrying food to its baby birds. After overcoming various difficulties, Mr. Artero and Mr. Carlo finished putting wooden frames on all the paintings.

"Thank you very much for your hard work. How much do I owe you?"

"I didn't have to use any paint, and each normal painting costs two silver coins. I painted them all together for, um, five silver coins as a bonus."

So the regular ones are 20,000 yen each and the collective ones are 50,000 yen each. In Japan, it seems ridiculously expensive, but in this world, it seems a bit cheaper. ....... But there are 18 regular ones and 5 group ones, so 61 silver coins in all. That's enough to buy a car. Very expensive when you think about it.

Well, it can't be helped if you're into rich people's business. It would ruin Marie's face to haggle, so let's just pay the price. I pay the 61 silver coins and see her off.

"Mr. Sebas, thank you very much for today. Please give my regards to Ms. Marie.

"Are you leaving? It's late, why don't you stay the night?"

...... Well, Gina and Sara are going to learn to cook tomorrow, and I only told Martha that I might be late. It would be safer to go home.

"Thank you for your concern. But I have plans for tomorrow, so I'll leave you alone. Thank you very much."

Mr. Sebas saw me off, and I left the gate and headed for the inn.

"Mel, it will be hard to eat if we go home now, and we all want to see the paintings, so why don't we stop by the inn? If you want to stay the night, you can stay in Gina's room, okay?"

"That sounds great! Let's go to the lodge, Mel!"

Meral appeals to Mel even though she can't hear him.

"It sounds like fun, but Eunice is coming tomorrow morning, so I'm going home.

"Oh, yeah, that's a good idea. I'll walk you home."

I have a feeling that if he knew that Mel stayed at the same hotel with me, he would go crazy, not believing me even if we were in different rooms. I'm sorry Meral wanted to come to the inn, but I'm going to ask Mel to leave. I'm the best.

"No, I'll be fine, Meral will be with me."

"Still, from the outside it looks like Mel is walking alone. The less trouble he gets into, the better."

If Meral accidentally cremated the thugs, that would be a problem. After a moment's thought, Meral nodded and we headed to Meral's workshop together. I'll ask him out now just for the heck of it. It was hard to talk in front of the painter.

Hey Mel. I'm going to take Gina and the others into the labyrinth. I know you have a workshop, so you won't be able to do it every time, but you'll be able to level up and get materials."

"Are you going separately, Master?"

"Yeah, I'm planning to go on solo. Gina and the others will follow the Great Spirit every time, so they can help me if it's really dangerous.

I feel like I'll be fine with Meral, I'm too overprotective, but I can't help it if I lose my life. Meral, who was listening to the conversation, sneaked up to me and said, "Preferably Dolly. I guess Meral still has a hard time with Dineh.

"I can't do it every time, but I don't think I'm good enough as it is, so I'd appreciate it if you can go."

Mel agreed with a serious face. Kikka, who was listening to the conversation, was overjoyed and hugged Mel. It's so funny. If I let her carry a normal magic bag, I'll have to buy beds for Gina and Mel at the mobile base we've been using for Sarah and the others. They are straw beds, so we should be able to get them tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be a shopping day, with groceries, liquor, and other small things. We need to prepare foodstuff that won't be damaged by the time passing magic bag. ...... No, let's send Gina and the others to buy what we need to explore the labyrinth. Then Gina can teach Sarah and the others how to shop. I promised Marie that I'd visit the Adventurers' Guild. I'll have to go there tomorrow.

Okay, Gina. I'll be going separately, so if you go into the labyrinth, please ask Mel to join us the day before."

"Oh, okay."

Hmm, a party of Gina, Sara, Marco, Kikka, Mel, Fuchu, Uri, Mame, Sheba, Puru, and Meraru. I think it's a very strong party though it doesn't have a proximity. If these girls start to play an active role, we won't be able to make fun of spiritists.

Gina and Mel are young enough, and Sara and the others are children. If they start playing an active role in the labyrinth, we can't afford not to approve of necromancers. I can't wait to see how the labyrinth city will react. Imagining a happy future, we arrived at Mel's workshop in no time. Time flies when you're having fun.

"Thank you for sending it, Master."

"Okay, okay. Let's see, this is the picture of Meral and all the spirits gathered together.

Thank you very much. It is really a dream come true to be able to see Meral-sama.

"Thanks, Yuta!

It was a lot of work, but if they are this happy, it was worth it. I'll give them dinner on the side. I'm sure Meral will enjoy the waiver cutlets.

"And you can have this for dinner. I'm sure Meral will be happy to share it with you."

"Oh, thank you. Um, what should I do with the plates?"

"I have plenty, so you don't have to give it back. I'll see you later."

I said goodbye to Mel and Meral and returned to the inn.

"Yuta, hurry up!""Coo-coo!""Hurry up!""Coo-coo!""Hurry up!""......""Hoo-hoo!""Puggah!""Wah-hoo!""......""

Yeah, there's a lot going on and they can't wait. He really wants to see the pictures. But I won't run because they'll wonder what's going on if I run in the dark.

"Well, it looks like Belle and Fukuchan want to get back to the inn as soon as possible, so I'll hurry a bit.

Since I am not in the mood for leisurely walking, I tell Gina and the others why I'm here and head for the inn at a brisk pace.

"Welcome back, you're late. Is everything all right?  

"Yes, I bought you something to eat, so it's no problem.

"Well, that's a relief. Are Gina and Sara coming back tomorrow morning to learn how to cook?

"Yes, Martha, I'll be looking forward to seeing you tomorrow."

"I'll take care of it too."

"Oh, yeah, yeah. I see. My husband was happy to see you, so you're more than welcome to come. Kark is getting interested in cooking too, thanks to you guys.

Martha's got you completely. She's been very kind to us, so we should probably just make small talk with her as much as we can, but I feel sorry for Belle and the others, so let's get out of here as fast as we can.
