Arifureta Illustration Book SS

「Spread Out-, Sinful Works of the Gods!」

.

Several days after Heiligh Kingdom got through the invasion of the devil kingdom.

「And so we came to this treasure storage of the palace. You’re really  generous aren’t you princess, allowing us to take as many as we like  from here as a show of your thanks.」

「I didn’t say “as many as you like” you know!? It’ll be just one thing that “you like”!」

「Eh? What did you say?」

「You’re suddenly deaf!?」

When she displayed several items to show her gratitude, the other  party said 「Eh? You’re telling me I can do as I please with the treasure  storage?」 which made her to repeatedly speak the same words over and  over like a villager who came out in an RPG. Finally Princess Liliana’s  heart broke down in the end. Even though she somehow dragged out a  compromise, she was ignored with a deafness skill similar with the main  character in a gal game. It was unbearable.

Yue, Shia, Tio, Kaori, and then Shizuku and others of the hero party  who were accompanying Princess Liliana who was holding back her tears  sent her a sympathetic gaze, while the royal guards of the palace who  accompanied her were making a complicated look.

「……Just one, huh. H~m, I see. So the gratitude of the princess is  just that much. Even though everyone was risking their life. You’re  surprisingly ungrateful princess――」

「Aah geez-, there is no problem if you take as many as you like isn’t it-. UWAAAAAAAHN」

Princesss, get a hold of yourself! Shit-, someone cut down that  rude person! No way! I still don’t want to die-. Captain, you do it  yourself please! Don’t say something stupid-, I don’t have any wish to  suicide-.

The royal guards were flustered. They pushed each other to launch suicide attack at Hajime.

「Geez-, Hajime-kun! Don’t make Lily cry!」

「The~re there, it’s fine, Lily. Look, I’ll wipe your tears. Blow your nose here.」

Kaori criticized Hajime while Shizuku transformed into a mom and consoled the princess.

「My bad princess. That’s why, open the storage’s door already.」

「Are you demon-」

A tsukkomi in the form of angry yell came from Kouki. But, it was  Hajime quality to not let up even then. He was urging on with eyes that  weren’t smiling behind the sniffling princess.

Like that they entered into the opened treasure storage. Hajime  entered without reservation like he was returning to his own home. Yue  and others followed him while smiling wryly.

「Aa, Nagumo-san-. Everything here is precious item so please handle  them carefully……ah, that’s “Princess’s Tiara”! It’s said to grant  eternal youth only to the chosen one――ah, don’t toss it awayyyy-」

The cute tiara was tossed away like it was trash. Liliana splendidly  performed a sliding catch to save that item which possessed an ability  that would be coveted by any female.

「That thing will only give you delusion of being eternally young.  It’s just a cursed item that will constantly absorb your vitality you  know?」

「Funnuh」

Princess Liliana threw away the national treasure with all her  strength. Aah, princess-, that’s a national treasure you know!? The  princess is deranged! The screams of the royal guards resounded.

Yue and others glanced at them who were being like that while looking around inside the storage curiously.

After a while, Yue who was carelessly rummaging inside a treasure box  placed at the deepest part of the room seemed to discover something.

「……Nn? This is……the bottom is double layered?」

Fumu, after nodding, she sent a glance at Liliana. She was  fighting hard to seal the cursed Tiara by pushing it into the gap  between shelves.

「……This spot, tear it off with Shia Power.」

「No, Yue-san. I think it’s no good to destroy a treasure box……」

「……Shia. It’s no problem if no one find out.」

「Ee~」 Even while making a troubled expression, when she saw Yue’s  eyes sparkling as though to say 「I want to be the first one finding a  rare item~~~!」, Shia-chan couldn’t refuse at all.

Just like she was told, she pierced the bottom of the metal treasure  box with a finger thrust, and then using only the power of her  fingertip, she tore off the plating. Power is justice. Like that, what  showed up from the covered bottom was,

「……Hope Elegy’s Picture Collection of Beautiful People?」

It seemed to be a picture collection with splendid leather cover. It looked really old.

「Yue, what’s wrong――wait, what’s that? Picture collection?」

Kaori and others also gathered around in curiosity. Their faces  cramped seeing the treasure box that was pried open with brute force.  Their gazes simultaneously snapped toward Liliana, but she looked really  busy hiding the cursed tiara. The royal guards were enthusiastically  cheering for their enthusiastic princess.

No problem! They quietly closed the lid of the treasure box and then all of them peered into the picture collection.

Knight and princess running together while holding hand, a man  dressed like adventurer protecting a female knight from a monster, a sad  looking priestess inside a forest, two beauties fighting in a place  that looked like some kind of battlefield, a witch with sadistic  expression, etc.

It seemed to be a picture collection that depicted beautiful females.

「Hey hey, Hajime-kun. Is this also an artifact?」

「Picture collection artifact……I can’t imagine something like that.」

「Fumu. I hath also never heard anything like that.」

「But, it’s hidden in an even more secretive place inside the treasure storage. It’s suspicious……」

Kaori, Shizuku, Tio, and Suzu sent their gazes toward the picture collection looking half in confusion and half in interest.

「In the first place, is it possible there is an artifact that isn’t made from ore?」

Hajime too was whispering in confusion while receiving the picture  collection from Yue. Just in case he tried checking it with his magic  eye.

「……Seriously? It’s faint but there is magic power dwelling inside it.」

It seemed it wasn’t just a normal picture collection.

Shia immediately moved toward Liliana. Liliana was wiping her sweat  with a triumphant face of someone who had just finished a work. It  seemed she succeeded in sealing the cursed artifact that was enemy of  woman in a satisfactory manner. The royal guards were giving her a loud  applause. And so Shia dragged her toward the others without letting her  say anything.

「Shi, Shia-san. I’m, a princess……can you drag me in a more gentle――」

The royal guards were all flustered saying 「Before that princess  should be angry about getting dragged……」 while showing a really  conflicted expression. During that time, the merciless Hajime threw her a  question.

「Princess, what’s this?」

「? What is that? This is my first time seeing it. Where did it come from?」

Everyone averted their gaze simultaneously.

「……It was in the gap of that shelves.」

「My, in such place!? No wonder I’ve never seen it before.」

Yue-san, you bad child! That kind of gaze stabbed her from  her companions. Yue-san whose default state was being expressionless  with blank stare was strong at this kind of time.

「So, even the princess doesn’t know it.」

「I’ve read the catalogue of the items here so that shouldn’t be the  case but……ah, this is a work of Elegy-sensei! This frayed state……perhaps  it’s an earlier work!?」

Liliana saw the title and raised a shocked voice.

「Do you know it princess?」

「He is the palace’s best painter who is still active!」

Unbelievably, it seemed to be a painter who was still alive even though he was currently really old.

「Amazing. Sensei’s works from his young age are mostly gone……however,  even those few remaining works are so valuable and praised as “having  soul inside them”. They’re without a doubt national treasures. If  they’re put in an auction it will easily get sold in the hundreds of  millions!」

That was certainly a treasure. On top of that, it was being hidden  inside this treasure storage and even contained magic power. That meant  it possessed a value that surpassed a mere painting――exciting. For  Hajime it was something really interesting.

「Princess. I’ll have this one.」

「No-」

Princess Liliana attempted to take away the picture collection with  an unexpectedly agile movement. Of course, there was no way she could  win against Hajime’s physical strength and failed. She was helplessly  clinging on the book with desperation.

「Oi oi, you said that I can take any one thing that I like right?」

「Bu, but-. Nagumo-san, you plan to dissect it right!? Like an artifact! Just like an artifact!」

An art that should be left behind for mankind would be dissected just for curiosity, Not on my watch! The princess’s love for art was burning. Muii~~, let gooo~~ She  put in more strength, but as expected from a princess. The book didn’t  even twitch using the slender arms that were like the symbol of  powerlessness.

「In that case-」

Liliana’s magic power came to life. She was trying to put barrier on  the book itself. Spell chant resounded clearly. Naturally Hajime didn’t  have the slightest intention to wait for her. He moved to subdue Liliana  with rope binding, turtle shell style――however, an unexpected situation  occurred.

「-, Princess! Stop your magic right away!」

「Heh?」

A stupid voice slipped out, at the same time a bright light flashed.  The source was the book. An intense flash burst out as though to paint  over the treasure storage. Right after that, small screams from the  females as well as sound of falling resounded.

「Tsk, what happened-」

The flash cleared up. Then there, the sight of Yue, Shia, Tio, Kaori,  Shizuku, and Liliana lying on the floor appeared. While Kouki, the  royal guards, and others went pale in shock, Hajime threw away the book  and checked the state of Yue and others.

「Their breathing and pulse are normal. They’re, only fainting? But, why is it only them?」

Hajime calmly analyzed while guessing of what happened. Then Suzu called out to him.

「Nagumo-kun, this! The picture collection-」

「Picture collection? Tsu, this is……」

Speechless. Everyone lost their words from the unimaginable situation.

「Royal guards, one of you. Bring this Hope Elegy here right away!」

「「「「Ye, YES SIR――――――」」」」

The low voice made the royal guards to become even paler from when  they saw Liliana collapsed and they rushed out of the room all at once.

「Good grief, is this what they called curiosity killed the cat? It ain’t funny at all.」

Hajime scratched his heat while cursing. His gaze was turned toward  the picture collection that was opened from being tossed away. The face  of each beautiful woman picture inside it was replaced with the face of  Yue and others.

Elegy who was brought there before long was a thin old man.

The painter looked so frail it felt like his flame of life would go  out just from a light blowing wind. According to him, from all the women  depicted in this picture collection, none of them were finished with a  result that satisfied this master painter. Perhaps because of that, it  would capture real women and reflected them as they were through it or  something.

「Eh? Wait a second. Elegy-san, Suzu isn’t captured though?」

Certainly, Hajime, Kouki, Ryutarou, and the royal guards were all nodding.

「That’s……you know. This is picture collection of beauty, so……」

「Ha?」

Suzu let out a voice so low that she never made before until now. It was as though the voice echoed from the bottom of hell.

The master painter let out a lot of cold sweat while adding more words.

「I, it’s that. Perhaps it’s because Suzu-chan is a bit short? You know, you look youthful aren’t you?」

「I’m not that much different from Yue-oneesama though」

「……Then sensuality, perhaps?」

「Fuck-」

An out of character swear word came out from Suzu’s mouth. Even  though the girls around her were all taken in as “sensual beautiful  woman”, she was left behind alone. Just how painful her mind was in  right now. She wordlessly walked toward a corner of the storage and  started punching a tower shield that was hanged nearby.

Dammit all-, Suzu is just a dwarf with zero sex appeal anyway-. Fucccckk-.

She had turned into a close range fighter specialist when anyone noticed. The shield artifact was starting to dent……

「I, I don’t understand the cause. I tried to get rid of it but, I was told to present it to his majesty……」

「And so, it ended up here huh.」

It was sealed inside the treasure storage. Although, that  circumstance didn’t matter. What was important was only the method of  rescue. Hajime questioned Elegy with sharp glint in his eyes.

「It’s simple. Chant the keyword to enter inside the picture and  accomplish the role in each picture. Look, there is always a man in  every picture right? You just need to take that man’s role. Inside the  picture you can become anything you like following your image. You can  also create any kind of legendary weapon inside the fiction so it’s not  difficult.」

Furthermore, there was background story for each picture. The picture  itself was a cutscene taken from that story. That seemed to be the  concept. And so, in case the tale was broken or the woman who was in  sleeping state from getting absorbed and playing the role recovered  their senses and spoke “this is a dream”, it seemed they would be able  to return to reality.

「And, what’s the keyword?」

「――Reality should just die」

The room became dead silent. No, there was only the sound of punching and sad cursing words echoing. A beat later.

「You, this isn’t an art collection, but just a delusion collection right?」

Eloping with princess. Rescuing a female knight in a pinch, etc, this  artwork depicted the delusion of wanting to get closer with beautiful  woman in such situation. Having that pointed out, the master painter  was,

「……It’s okay to become popular inside my delusion at least isn’t it?」

He quietly averted his gaze. At the back of his mind, he recalled the  time when he was young, the passing days when he desperately wished to  become popular, and yet he was despairingly unpopular, he cursed the  handsome and beautiful couple, and poured all the delusions in his whole  body and mind into the canvas while crying tears and blood. It became  clear now, fierce jealousy and delusion were blended into his artistic  talent, however, he was unable to be satisfied with the beautiful women  he drew, and in the end, he finished a fantastical picture collection  that would took in beautiful women in reality that served like virtual  reality game other world version where he would become the main  character.

How miserable. Elegy sweated coldly saying 「I, it was a mistake of youth」. Hajime sighed while chanting the keyword.

「I’ll end this quickly――reality should just die.」

It felt like his mind was flipped. When he noticed, Hajime was running through the city while holding Liliana’s hand.

――It’s elopement situation. A romance with the princess that ignore the status. It’s a man’s dream

「Aa? What? Elegy’s voice is……」

――You can also hear the voice from reality there

It seemed even with his mind entering inside the picture, the voice  from reality would reach him if he was in the right mind. According to  Elegy, it seemed they would be able to reach the happy end if they could  successfully escape the pursuer from the palace that bound the  princess’s freedom.

「Knight-sama-, the pursuers are already catching up-. This is the end! At this rate even you will-!」

Tears gathered on Liliana’s sad eyes. Indeed, she was acting her role  while in a sleeping state――just as Hajime thought that, 「Kufuh」 a  strange voice slipped out. When he looked closer, Liliana’s mouth was  mumbling ‘munya munya’. It was as though she was holding back a grin  from forming.

Hajime narrowed his eyes. He tried pulling her hand with a jerk  toward him. Then 「Au, if you’re that forceful, it’s troubling for me」  the princess started to act reluctant. Hajime stopped running.

「Don’t worry princess.」

「Knight-sama……your feeling for me is that much……」

Princess Liliana looked toward Hajime with a passionate gaze. Her  look convinced him that indeed, she possessed a sensuality that was  unthinkable for a fourteen years old.

And so, Hajime also returned a smile. A wide grin that looked  devilish. He also imagined at the same time, missile & rocket  launcher “Orkan” that immediately appeared in his hands.

「If the country is gone, then there won’t be any more pursuers or the status of princess weighing you down.」

「Eh」 Without even any time to say that, a storm of violence trampled  the pursuing knights. In addition a sunlight convergence laser swallowed  the palace. The laser didn’t stop there and burned down the capital  next. Amidst the world that was dyed with crimson hellfire, Knight  Hajime spoke to the princess whose eyes turned into dot.

「With this the problem is solved.」

「The feeling that it shouldn’t be like this is strong.」

Liliana’s eyes changed into the eyes of rotten dead fish and she  vanished. Surely she was returning to the reality. At the same time  Hajime’s mind blacked out. When his vision cleared he found,

「Kuh, kill me!」

A female knight――Shizuku being carried by an orc. There was a cave ahead.

――Rescuing ‘kuh kill me’ female knight make you fired up right? Save her gallantly as an adventurer

「You’re, actually a Japanese inside aren’t you?」

While the delusion explanation of master painter Elegy resounded, adventurer Hajime’s eyes suddenly met Shizuku’s.

Hope and expectation formed in the eyes of Knight Shizuku. At the  same time, there was also this slightly embarrassed atmosphere.

Hajime-san stared blankly with no expression. He was simply watching.

「Eh, wait! You aren’t going to save me!?」

Knight Shizuku’s face seemed to want to say 「Impossible!」. She vanished inside the cave still with that expression on her face.

「The point is, it’s fine as long as the disgrace bad end is avoided right?」

――Wait-, that’s not

Ignoring the voice of heaven, it manifested as expected. The reliable  as ever launcher “Orkan”-san. When it was fired inside the cave without  hesitation, the cave easily collapsed with thunderous sound.

There would be no negotiation with enemy that was taking hostage. It  was the international rule to fire or explode them with no question  asked. It felt like there were multiple groans from reality directed  toward such Hajime, but he ignored them.

His vision blacked out and he moved to the next picture. Surely Shizuku too had returned back.

He came to see a tranquil forest. There was an altar ahead of his  gaze, and on it was a mystical beauty――the forest priestess Shia was  sitting with a sad expression.

――Liberating the priestess of the forest! Do it normally this time!

Master painter Elegy howled. Hajime went 「Eh? What did you say?」.

「I cannot go together with you. I am the priestess of the forest. My soul, is imprisoned in this forest――」

「Ah, yes yes. So the forest is in the way this time」

Orkan-san who was giving great contribution this day. While he was at  it tar that was burning in 3000 Celcius was also scattered from the  sky. The forest was enveloped in hellfire in the blink of eyes and  returned to ash.

「Hajime-san is Hajime-san like usual……」

The forest priestess Shia was vanishing with a dry expression while looking up to the sky.

Vision blackout. He couldn’t move his body for some reason. Apparently he was being tied on a chair.

「Fufufuh, what a foolish man, trying to take down this me. Now then, I wonder what kind of punishment I shouldst give thou.」

In front of him was a witch with very provocative outfit that exposed  a lot of skin――Tio. She was displaying a very terrifying aura. Her  expression was brimming with sadism.

――I, if you’re a man! Then you surely want to get stepped by a beautiful sadistic woman at least once in your life!

「I now understand just how deep the darkness of the best painter of the palace.」

Putting that aside.

「Oi, Tio. You bitch, who the hell do you think you’re talking to huh?」

「Eh!?」

Overpowering sadistic aura that was bursting out! Witch Tio unconsciously shivered and backed away.

「Who is the fool here?」

「Eh? That’s……I mean……」

Silence. And then absolute zero gaze. Like when looking at an insect.  Witch Tio-san’s breathing was getting rougher naturally. Haa haa.

「I, it’s……me」

「Who should be punished here?」

「I, it’s me desuu」

「You know what you gotta do right?」

「Yes goshujin-sama!」

‘Woof woof auu’, with a behavior that reminded one of a hopeless dog  even though she was a dragon, witch Tio-san hurriedly untied her  goshujin-sama. In front of the goshujin-sama who was slowly standing up,  she waited for further command in a “sit” state.

「Tio」

「Yes-, my Master!」

Appearing from empty air was a thick steel pole. Witch Tio-san was going ‘haa haa’ while shuddering.

「House」

*Zuboo*. 「Aaaah」 Along with that joyful scream, witch Tio-san returned back to reality.

Vision blackout. What flew into the eyes of Hajime who entered the last picture was……

「Hajime-kun! What is good from this kind of woman!?」

「……Fuh. Defeated dog can just howl」

The figure of Yue who was being tied from behind, and Kaori who had a blade pressed on her jugular.

――A scene of carnage where beautiful women are fighting over you.  This is man’s romance. After getting stabbed if you say [I love both of  you. I’ll happily offer my life if it’s for this love……slump-], the  romance will be completed

「You’re really hopeless huh.」

While showing a fed up expression, he sent a blank stare toward Yue  who was saying 「Hajime~, help mee~」 looking like she was enjoying the  heroine role, and Kaori who was saying 「Accept me inside the illusion at  least! Hug me tightly!」 with her desire completely dripping out.

For the time being, he summoned Donner. Yue’s complexion turned pale.  Because, this situation, it was the second time for Yue. The last time  the skin of her head was shaved *byoin*.

「Yue, Kaori. I’ll give you two five seconds. Say “this is a dream”.」

Yue swiftly abandoned her role. She spoke 「This is a dream」 in hurry……but before she could do so,

「If Hajime-kun won’t hug me then no way!」

「……Nnh!?Kaoriii!? Don’t say something stupid, let’s get out quickly!」

Kaori-san held out. Yue was flustered. However, the charging maiden Kaori-san wouldn’t stop!

「Fufuh, I understand you know? Hajime-kun cannot shoot Yue. It’s frustrating though! It’s frustrating though!」

「……Kaori-, be quiet for a bit! Hajime’ll normally shoo――」

「Now, choose! Will you shoot Yue! Or will you hug me! Now now!」

「……Hajime, wait! I’ll persuade this idiot Kaori so――」

「Five seconds passed.」

*Dopan*, a gunshot that was pleasant to the ear. *Bam* An ominous falling sound.

「Eh?」 Kaori-san froze.

「……That’s why I told you……Kaori……idioot~」

Yue-san who got a hole created on her forehead was vanishing while leaving behind that resentful line.

「Ha, Hajime-kun!? Why did you shot Yue!?」

「This isn’t reality. In addition Yue is immortal. It’s fine, there is no problem.」

「It’s not fine! Especially for Yue’s heart! What do you think a maiden’s  heart is――」

*Dopan*, a gunshot that was pleasant to the ear, the second time.  Kaori’s eyes turned tearful while saying 「This is simply not okay」 with  her body vanishing.

At the same time, Hajime who destroyed all the picture’s tales were also returning to reality.

Naturally, waiting for him was a great storm of blank stare.

「Are you, demon-」

A tsukkomi from Kouki. This time only the female camp was also agreeing with him. Everyone nodded strongly.

In respond to that, Hajime didn’t look agitated at the slightest, instead he counterattacked with a blank stare.

「Let’s have you guys answer honestly. You all, were relatively aware right from the start right?」

The female camp all averted their gaze. It seemed he was right on the  mark. Kouki’s eyes opened wide saying 「Shi, Shizuku!? Lily!? You two  too!?」. Ryutarou looked up. Suzu cursed 「Keh. You all were able to get  taken inside, and in the end you even played the role of tragic heroine  is that so I see dammit all-」. The tower shield was already unrecognized  from its former appearance. Hajime stared blankly at Yue and others  whose gazes were wandering around like migratory fishes.

「And? Anyone got any complain?」

No complain came. When everyone settled down for the moment, Elegy  stared mainly at Yue and Kaori (god apostle physique) while sighing.

「Fumu. Even so what beauty. I wish to try drawing it once but……with my skill it will only result in a bad work.」

「Oi oi. Isn’t that being too humble for a master painter who created a  pseudo artifact with just his feeling? It’s not like I’m knowledgeable  about art but, I think this picture collection is something amazing you  know?」

Yue and others also agreed with Hajime’s honest impression.

「……Certainly, I think I was able to leave behind a painting that  won’t shame me as the palace’s best painter. However, that’s not it. The  painting, the woman’s “beauty” that I’m pursuing, it’s not this. I’m  making some kind of mistake, a fundamental mistake somewhere-. That’s  what I’m feeling.」

He monologue with the intensity like he would puke out blood.  Although he had pursued this path for his whole life, in the end, he  couldn’t erase only this feeling of discomfort that “this isn’t it”. He  was unable to reach his ideal “painting of beautiful woman”. Now that  his life was going to run out, the genius painter lamented that there  was only regret remaining inside him.

No one was able to say anything seeing the suffering expression of  the old man who had already climbed to the peak of a painter. That was  how it seemed but……

「A painting this amazing is fundamentally mistaken, huh. Then, how about I show you a “beauty” that is fundamentally different?」

「What……did you say?」

Master painter Elegy opened his eyes wide. And then, Yue and others  who were sending a gaze that said 「What is this guy saying out of  nowhere?」. Hajime paid them no mind and made his “treasure warehouse”  ring shined. He summoned a paper and a pen from there. And then he began  to draw something without hesitation. His gaze kept sending glances at  yue.

「What foolishness. What does a brat like you know?」

「Fuh. It’s troubling that you’re looking down on me. Both my parents  are pure creator. As their son I’m also a creator even as inexperienced  as I am. My experience in handling the illustrations of the game  produced by my father’s company is beyond counting. My work experience  as an assistant of my mother Nagumo Sumire, a famous shoujo mangaka  easily surpassed five years. I have confidence in my drawing of ero elf  or nekomimi maid, that it’ll be really a sight to see!」

「I, I don’t understand at all what you are saying. Those seems to be  wordings of other world. However, I don’t know why but I feel an amazing  persuasiveness from you-」

The earthling group showed a very convinced expression around the  trembling Elegy. Certainly, from the beginning this guy was an iron  otaku who was unshakeable no matter what his surrounding said……they  seemed to want to say that.

「Fuh, it’s finished yeah.」

Hajime’s face was terribly smug. He was looking so smug that 「Fuh」  and 「yeah」 that he usually didn’t use slipped out from his mouth. Elegy  turned his gaze toward the painting Hajime handed to him with an  expression of half in doubt.

And then, everyone there saw that vision. *Bishaaa――――* The figure of Elegy getting struck by lightning.

「Thi, this is……what in the world is this――」

「That is, Japan’s “beauty”. A snapshot of the soul that is created by all those great illustrators. So to speak――it’s “Moe”.」

「Mo, Moee」

What the heavily trembling Elegy was seeing was the ultimate two  dimensional beauty created by all the great illustrators! Yes, it was a  beautiful girl illustration! Master painter Hajime’s skill was at the  level where both his parents would entrust a part of their work to him.  Therefore, the painting of Yue that was combined with his affection to  her was truly a “divinely moe illustration”!

「Yue! Do that one! Wear the maid clothes left behind by Oscar at the  bottom of the abyss and do that one! The essence of Japanese culture  that I taught you! Show it to him!」

「……Nnh!?」

Yue-san was greatly shaken. All gazes focused on her. The expectation of Hajime and Elegy weighed her down heavily.

Her honest feeling was screaming, I don’t wanna! It’s embarassing!

But, if it was Hajime’s request……the devoted Yue-san would answer it without fail!

She twisted her waist, then lifted up a leg! She formed a heart shape with both hands~,

「……Mo, moe moe kyun!」

In that moment, 「Uh」「Uh」「Uh」, countless 「Uh」 resounded. Looking  there, starting from Hajime, Kouki, Ryutarou, Elegy, and then all the  royal guards were holding their heart while groaning. Yue-kyun whose  face was bright red and trembling with tearful eyes while doing moe kyun  possessed a terrible destructive power. They almost got heart attack  from it.

「Thi, this is it! This is exactly what I have been searching until nooowwww!」

Other than Yue who was hiding her face with both hands while curling  itno herself from shame and Shia who was consoling her, the female camp  was sending cold voice 「Ee~~」 and cold gaze toward him but……

The awakened genius painter was already unstoppable.

「Nagumo-dono! Please allow me to call you teacher!」

「Teacher?」

「Yes, you are the “moe teacher” who came from another world! I beg  you, please grant me your guidance in walking through this wonderful  world!」

「……Fuh. Very well. Elegy, follow me! Until the end of the world!」

Eh, what’s this atmosphere……I can’t keep up though. That  kind of atmosphere was filling the room, but Hajime-san that got on some  kind of mood and the awakened master painter Elegy wouldn’t stop.

Master painter Elegy was trembling from moved feeling as though he  had obtained divine revelation. It was as though he wanted to say This ain’t the time to die yet! A youthful aura that was filled with ambition and domination  started to envelop him.

「Ooo, moe teacher-sama! I shall accomplish this mission even at the cost of my life!」

Master painter Elegy turned around toward Liliana, then he bowed his head deeply.

「Your highness! I return my position as the palace’s painter to you-. Then, farewell-」

「Eh? Haa!? Wai-, wait a second please-. Elegy-senseiiiiii-」

From his bowing posture, master painter Elegy performed an amazing  dash with a crouching start. After a moment of astonishment and  dumbfounded, Liliana also chased behind him with a speed that was  unthinkable for a princess. The royal guards also went 「Pri, princess――,  please wait for u~~ss」 and chased behind her.

Total silence returned to the chaotic space. Hajime alone looked up with a refreshed expression.

「Tou-san, Kaa-san. I did it.」

Certainly, you really had done it now……Yue and others sent him a gaze that said so.

Later, the “divinely moe illustration collection” of Yue and others  would come out to the world and became a social phenomenon. A new  culture was born in Tortus World and a world scale commotion was rising  like a revolution but……

That story would be told in another chance.
