Chapter 14 Golden Pen
In the painting shop, Sora spoke up. "Come on, come on. I'll give you a chance to test yourself as a disciple. So, is that the girl over there who wants to be my disciple? What's your name?" "Baria." "Very good. Then, show me your painting skills. Show me how good your skills are." Barrier looked at Seraph, wondering what he wanted to do. Seraph took out the black paintbrush he had bought for Barrier. He took out the black paintbrush. "This is your paintbrush. Use it. I found it. I forgot to take your picture, so this is yours. I'll definitely get your picture book tomorrow." Barrier nodded. "Thank you. What do I need to paint?" Barrier looked at the magical item, the drawing paper.
Sora looked at the paper in front of him. "Hmm… Is that a level three magical item? Where did you get it?" "Does the princess know?" "Seraph looked at the white paper that looked like an ordinary thing. Baria answered Sora's question. "This is something that was given to me by Seren Tenshin. It's something that Seren Tenshin gave to applicants to this school." "Hmm, hmm, so that's how it is. You little girl seem to be in the same group as us. No, we're on the same path. It's interesting, isn't it? Then please show me your skills." Baria started to put the white paper down on the floor, and received the black brush from Seraph, and started to draw the picture that she wanted to draw. Because the color was black, the picture was black. Baria drew a picture of a picture shop. The girl's face showed determination. Black paint was on the white paper. With the whiteness that was like emptiness, just a single black dot, the black destroyed the white and replaced it with black. Sora looked at the pattern of the picture that Baria drew. [Drawn my shop? Didn't you tell me to start drawing anything but chose to start drawing yourself? No, an artist must have imagination. As long as there is an image in your head, the artist's path will open. The skill of holding a beginner's brush Putting the picture on the ground can tell that it's a beginner, but never mind, it's really strange for a child this age to be a professional.] Sora turned to look at Seraph. "And this guy here, didn't he come to ask to be a disciple?" Seraph shook his head. "Can you accept this child as a disciple? This child has no one to rely on. Right now, you could say that he's all alone. I'm still too young to help much." "Asking like this? We have to see if he's suitable to be my successor or not. Life is like this." "Thank you very much." Seraph bowed his head in thanks. Sora looked at the picture that Barrier was drawing and remembered that Barrier was drawing with black ink. He was about to pick up some colors, but he saw a black brush with strange patterns. Sora quickly pulled the black brush out of Barrier's hand. Smack! Barrier looked at his hand that used to have a black brush and was very confused. "Where did the brush go? „
Seraph looked at Sora in shock. [So fast, this woman, don't tell me she's a warrior?] Sora examined the black brush. "Where did you get this brush, little girl?" „ Sora must go to Barrier. Seraph spoke on her behalf before there was a misunderstanding. "I bought it from an antique shop, but at that time I saw Barrier looking very interested in it, so I decided to buy it for you. What is that thing?" Sora looked at Barrier. [This child is interested, isn't it? Come on, come on, since you're this old, it's time to retire. Obtaining this is a coincidence. It may be like that, but it's interesting. Maybe this child will reach that level. The Painting Creators' Association will be shaken by this arrival.] Sora handed the black brush to Barrier.
"This is an ordinary thing. I thought it was the same as that thing. But anyway, little girl, let's say goodbye to this child. If you're interested in the path of an artist, follow me to explore the world. I'm packing up, so if you want to follow me, we'll set off at night. If you don't want to follow me, it's okay. "Sora accepted Barrier and told them the schedule for tonight's departure. Barrier showed an expression that didn't know what to do and looked at Seraph. "Seraph? " "Congratulations. This lady is definitely a good person. The journey may be difficult, but do you want to be an artist? Don't ask me, ask yourself. If you're here, you'll just stay still. No one will care about the painting. Do you want to chase your dreams? Do you like painting?" Barrier looked at the painting that he had drawn, which was not yet complete. "Thank you very much. Even though I want to be a warrior, it seems that what I like more than being a warrior is painting. So thank you very much. Thank you very much. Will we meet again?" "Of course. As long as I'm alive, it means that there will be a chance to meet. I'll definitely stay and help. So, can you finish the painting over there? I'll ask for this painting as a souvenir." Barrier quickly nodded and ran to sit down and draw.Seraph asked Sora directly, "Will the child be okay?" "What? If you're so worried, why didn't you follow him?" "Just asking to make sure, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have brought him here."
"Have we met before, young man?" Souf shook his head to say that he had never met him. [Using pure luck] "Never. It's just luck. Even though I look like this, I have a high level of luck." "Well, I don't care about anything else besides pictures." Sora said as he looked into Seraph's bag, which seemed to have taken out something. Seraph took out something that looked like a gold pen. "This is my gift, a pen made entirely of gold." Sora took out the gold pen to look at it. "Why did you ask me to come here? I thought I should give it to the little girl over there." "It's a lucky pen. Just carry it with you." Good luck will come to you. " " Are you a magician? Well, consider this as the price for accepting a disciple of Barrier. Oh, oh yes. My name is Sora. What about you? " " Seraph. " Sora took the golden pen and put it in his bag. " Come help me. My disciple is drawing, so come help me pack. "
Time began to pass. Barrier finished drawing while looking around. Saw Seraph and Sora waiting for him. " Finished drawing. " Sora looked at the pitch-black painting because he forgot to bring other colors for Barrier. [ Even though it wasn't beautiful because he was a beginner, what was certain was the determination shown. He was an unpredictable artist. At first, when I saw the outline, I thought he was drawing a picture of a painting shop, but I was wrong. He drew a picture of me sitting and drawing. No, it was more like a picture of myself drawing. ] Barrier picked up the picture he had just finished drawing and walked over to give it to Seraph. " I will never forget this kindness. Seraph, thank you very much. "Seraph received the picture and nodded. [I don't understand at all what it is but I know that it is intent.] "It's very beautiful. I will keep it well. "Baria looked at Seraph's face. Time passed. Barrier and Sora sat down on the carriage full of pictures while Seraph stood and watched. Barrier waved goodbye as far as he could see. Seraph started to turn and walk back home. At the carriage where Sora and Barrier were sitting, Sora looked at the little girl sitting quietly waiting for Sora's orders. "Well, in this world, the word warrior must go hand in hand with an artist. The more time in life you have, the more chances you have to create great works. You will receive teachings from me, who trains warriors of the path of an artist. It is the path I have chosen to walk. I train while drawing. You can call me master. " "Yes, master. "
