183 Girl and Picture Book 2




 When it came to making a picture book of the Divine Child, it was the priestess Illume and the people who were excited. Phyto was also excited. By the way, the encounter between Fito and Ilum went more smoothly than I expected.
 It was partly because Fito had become a Knight of the Divine Child, but Ms. Illume was also looking at Fito with sparkling eyes. I didn't introduce her as the daughter of a god. This was a decision made after discussion with Fito. If I had introduced her as the daughter of a god, I felt that Ms. Illume would have felt some complications.
 What does not bother me much may bother you. Being a believer means that you have to consider such things. If I can do that well, I think I can grow.



What kind of book should I make? I think it would be better to base it on Lerunda's actual story, and make it a fairy tale style story.
"Yes. ....... We tried to welcome Lord Lerunda with an oracle, but we made a mistake. Oh, how foolish I was to think that. If I had been able to give her a better idea of what she looked like at the time, ...... she might not have had any trouble.
"...... Well, I'm glad I wasn't taken in. If I hadn't been abandoned, I wouldn't have met ...... everyone. I wouldn't be here now. So you don't have to feel that way.



 In response to Ran's question, Illume said excitedly and then gave me an apologetic look.


 I didn't want him to give me that apologetic look. I was really sad when I was abandoned, and I couldn't help but wonder what would happen to me in the future, but still, I wouldn't have met you if I hadn't been abandoned.


 I love you all so much.
 The only reason why I can meet everyone and live like this is because I was abandoned.
 Gryphons, Sifo, Gaius, Frene, Sireva, Phyto, and so many others. Those encounters happened because I was abandoned. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be here now.
 It may sound strange to say that I'm glad to have been abandoned, but I'm glad to have met you all.



"Lelanda-sama ......


 I'm not sure what's going on here, but I'm not sure what's going on here. I don't understand what impressed you at all.



"Well, since when I was abandoned?
"Yes, that's right. I would like to write a picture book about that first. In that case, I'd also like to talk about Alice, who was taken in as a godchild.


 Ms. Illume bites at Ran's words.



Alice, ......, was a very selfish girl who was not worthy of being a divine child. I really despaired that she was a goddess. I was shocked that my beloved gods and godchildren were like Alice. How happy I was to see the real God and Son here, full of love and compassion. How disrespectful Alice had been. I think that should also be written properly. When I left the country, the Great Temple knew that Alice was not really a divine child, but now we do not know if she is still calling herself a divine child. If she is doing that, then the Great Temple really does have a problem. I'm not sure how much trouble the real godson, Lernda-sama, had to go through because of Alice.
"Well, ...... I don't have any bad feelings towards my sister. I don't feel the way you feel about my sister.



 As I listened to her words, I thought again about how I felt about my sister. I don't hate or dislike my sister. I don't have any bad feelings toward her. I thought she was like that. She's just my sister. I have no feelings of disrespect or anger or anything like that.
 So I feel that you want to write badly about my sister in your picture book, but I don't want to write like that. In the first place, I didn't want to do anything that would make a bad impression on anyone.



I don't want to do anything that would make anyone feel bad. My sister was there and I was abandoned. That's all I need to know. For me, meeting Rahmer and the others is more important than my sister.



 I had a sister, and I was abandoned. I don't think a picture book needs more information than that. What's important to me is that I met Raymer and Gaius. I don't think I need more information than that to make a picture book.


You're right. How about something like this for starters?


 Mr. Ran tells me what he has come up with.


 "There were two sisters in a certain place.
 The older sister was very beautiful and loved, and the younger sister lived in her shadow.
 The life of the girl who lived alone changed when her sister was taken in as a godchild.
 The girl was abandoned.
 The lonely girl met a kind-hearted demon in the forest.
 When she met the kind-hearted horse, she smiled. The girl smiled when she met a kind-hearted horse.


I think it would be better if you just put a few simple illustrations like this and make it into a picture book. There is no need to express more than necessary in text. The goal is to express yourself in the form of pictures and draw the reader into the story with short sentences. For this purpose, I think it is enough to have Sifo and Lelanda meet and become friends with Sifo. There is no need to express any bad feelings towards Alice. So, what do you think?
"Yeah, I think it's good.




 Mr. Ran said all at once, as if he was excited.
 I nodded my head in agreement. I wonder what kind of picture book it will be, until Sifo and I become friends.
