Mercury Dream

Chapter 49: That elf-like existence…(6)

.

Sayya's comment: Yai, I have encountered many surprising things recently, which are unexpected and unimaginable, but even so, it still makes people not feel annoying at all, but... after knowing some things, people can still be surprised.

As the water waves flow, time also flows, neither particularly fast nor particularly slow. Just slowly, I took leisurely steps, and gradually changed the color of the sky from blue to bright orange.

But unlike the time he was moving forward, Saya did not make any special moves throughout the afternoon. He just stayed in place and looked quietly at the flowing water surface, completely leaving the scheduled itinerary and what he wanted to find. It seemed that those things were no longer important.

Yes, these things are not important at all!

At least for the two parties involved, this matter is no longer considered the same thing.

Saye and the painter uncle, two lost guys, were not worried about their situation at all, just stayed quietly on the river bank.

Do nothing, this is Sayya, sitting in front of the river bank.

Totally, that was the painter, near the rear of Sayer.

The painter held the fingers of the brush tightly, and at this time he could not find any hesitation. Every stroke and every painting were filled with a completely different view from the morning just now.

That's not confidence.

Not pride either.

Not that it was unexpected.

Instead, he was deeply expectant, and it could be seen from his face that the painter was also looking forward to the moment when the work was completed. In order to welcome this moment, he was using his wholehearted attitude and full of physical and mental dedication to prepare to fully express his thoughts, feelings, and the throbbing moment!

One stroke, another stroke, the painter looks at the gradually forming scene.

.

―――――――――――――――――――――――

.

I remember when I was on Earth not long ago, I saw the painting that the teacher was most proud of, always hanging high on the wall of the painting room.

.

― Although, I don’t know if I am closer to that painting. However, these are not important at all! Teacher, is this what you want to tell me before I set out for Mercury?――

.

The blank space was gradually covered. Although it was just a scene depicted with black and white pencils, it gradually brought out a different feeling.

And that blank space is just one more person.

However, with the movements of the hand and the pen, the character is increasingly integrated into the world in the painting, and the originally lifeless scenery blooms with a strong life.

The painter looked at it without any wavering.

The painter painted without any hesitation.

Looking at the world in my pen, I approached the completion bit by bit, without any fear, fear and hesitation.

A smile on his face was full of smiles, looking at the figure in the painting, the small but extremely strong back.

Brush outlines the last one.

- The world, therefore, takes shape.

This is the world I see.

As he finished speaking, the painter almost jumped up to express his joy now.

With the painter's voice, Shay, who knew the current situation, didn't feel anything strange. She just stood up from the original place and walked slowly towards Shay nearby, while also not forgetting to adjust the angle of the sun-shading straw hat.

I want to see, I want to see, what did I draw?

He took the canvas handed over by the painter and then looked down slightly.

Oh, this is!?

When he heard the painter's request, Sayer was somewhat mentally prepared, but when he actually saw it, he still opened his mouth slightly.

A very excellent model, I let all my worries be relieved in one breath.

The painter's smile is quite cheerful, and he looks full of vitality and spirit. It looks like he is in his 20s. It is impossible to imagine that Sayya treated him as an uncle a few hours ago.

But, whether it is a young man or an uncle, these things are not placed in Saya's eyes now.

Is the model only the back?

The same was true for the painting at the beginning, with only the model's back... However, I didn't want to imitate the painting!

The painter reached out and grabbed his hair that was thumping, and then he looked a little embarrassed, but he continued to persevere.

Although this statement is more or less strange, at that moment, I really thought... your back overlaps with that picture!

Overlapping... means that my figure looks very similar to the painting that my uncle had seen before?

Sayya has not given up on the title of uncle until now, but the painter doesn't know if he pretends not to know, or he really doesn't hear it. He just shook his head and denied Sayya's statement just now.

It's not like this. In fact, it's a different existence. But if I had to explain now that I had seen that painting on Earth, I'm afraid even now, I still can't explain it perfectly in words... No! Even in my heart, I dare not say that I understand 100%!

Then you are...

I think you are very powerful! Spiritually powerful! Although I don’t know what supports you, I do feel this feeling, which is indescribable, but it appears in my heart extremely clearly... So, I want to draw! I really want to draw! I want to express the existence I see with my own pen -!!

Such passionate feelings are quite difficult even if you don’t want to pass them on to Saya opposite.

However, Saya, who was originally quite calm, heard others praise him in a blunt manner and even said that when he wanted to draw it, Saya felt a little panicked.

I took a slight step back, but only half a step.

Because of this, the straw hat on my head was looser, and the cool evening breeze blew high at the same time.

ah!

ah!

Saye and the painter exclaimed at the same time, and raised their heads at the same time, and at some point the straw hat flying in the air was unknown.

Just as I noticed the eyes of the two of them, the straw hat drew a beautiful line lightly, falling from a high place to the parabola below - the target, the center of the waterway.

It's too late!

Even if Shaye and the painter are willing to go into the water directly now, they don’t have the speed to swim to the center of the waterway immediately, not to mention that the time must be calculated just so that the straw hat will not be stained with any dew.

No matter how you think about it, this is impossible!

But, is this really impossible?

The wind blew up again, but it was completely different from the one just now.

The water surface as smooth as a mirror, waves of ripples shaking and spreading from afar.

The pure and white figure suddenly appeared in front of me without warning, swinging the oar gracefully.

The oars hooked out a gorgeous semicircle, and the hull stayed beautifully in the center of the waterway with its superb skills, and then slowly stretched out its right hand.

The straw hat that fell from above was lightly given to a pair of white hands and held tightly.

Gui'an, Xiao Shaye.

...Ai, Sister Alicia.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

With Alicia's arrival, it is naturally the end of the lost state of Saye and the painter.

The painter did not choose to board Alicia's ship. Instead, after asking for the location, he turned around and left. He did not ask Sayer's name until the beginning and end, and Sayer never asked the other party's surname.

It was a pretty pure chance meeting, but it did leave a trajectory between each other.

Prove that nature is - that painting.

And now this painting happened to be in Alicia's hands.

As for Sayya, holding the hot tea, he could feel the warmth from his hands all over his body with the power of the thermos cup, and slowly recovered from his body, which was originally trembling.

At the same time, the sound of water flowing in his ears made Saya smile gently, then picked up the teacup and slowly sipped on his lips.

After feeling the feeling of hot tea flowing in her body, Saya was about to look up at Alicia nearby.

Sister Alicia…?

However, when he saw Alicia's frowning look now, Saya seemed to be frightened and slowly leaned over.

That...what is wrong, sister?

Shaye gently pulled Alicia's sister's hem with shallow worry.

Oh, oh, it made Sayya worry.

Noting Saya's expression, Alicia naturally knew the expression she had just seen, which made the children around her worry. Alicia skillfully stretched out her right hand, touched Saya's head, and sootheed the other person's emotions.

But I had nothing to do, I was just a little surprised.

surprise?

That's right, I was surprised, I was surprised to see this painting.

Because of this painting...ah! Could it be that Sister Alicia has seen this painting before?

Suddenly I remembered the description of the uncle of the painter. The original painting seemed to have been completed by Mercury. Could it be... Could it be... a possibility appeared in Saya's little head, and almost uncontrollably, which made her immediately ask: Sister Alicia was also regarded as a model and had painted similar paintings!?

Not so, not so.

Alicia shook her fingers, closed one of the eyes, and smiled.

It’s not me, but the founder of aria company - grandmother.

Hey, hey-oh--!!
