Chapter 65 - Bear-san Draws A Picture Book

I have so many books it's just scary.

First, I had to think about the contents of the story.

Of course, a theme with a bear would be good.

Why is that? Because this child wouldn't leave me alone.

But...Was there a picture book with a bear?

I only knew Kintaro's story book.

Ah, there was the song 「The Bear-san in the forest」too.

I tried to recall my childhood, but there were just a lot of parts I couldn't remember.

Well, I didn't think I could write any story other than the one I knew the best.

I started sketching a little girl.

Princess Flora, at my side, just stared at me.

Was it strange seeing me draw? She was being silent.

The little girl's motif was Fina.

It was easier to sketch when there was a motif.

「Hey, that's Fina-chan!」(Eleonora)

On the paper, I was drawing a misshapen Fina.

「Well, it's because it's Fina's real experience after all.」(Yuna)

「Oh? Really?」(Eleonora)

Fina, the subject, was a small distance away, nervously drinking the drink that the maid brought her.

It was rare for a maid to serve tea to a commoner, after all.

I drew a lot of pictures to go with the story.

Finally, I was drawing the scene where I, the bear, appeared.

「Ara, what a cute Bear-san.」(Eleonora)

I drew a deformed bear (me).

It was unfortunate that there were no colours, but you could draw pretty well with just black.

「Whaaa...」(Flora)

Princess Flora looked at the drawing with shining eyes.

「By the way, it's the first time I've seen such a cute sketch.」(Eleonora)

「Is that so?」 (Yuna)

「I know lots of painters, but it's the first time I've seen a sketch like that.」(Eleonora)

Was it possible that caricatures didn't exist in this world?

Well, in my previous world, there were no caricatures in the past either.

During the Edo period or the Sengoku period, if there were such cute sketches, there might not have been wars. That was the sort of stupid thing I was thinking about.

Now I was drawing the scene where Bear-san and the girl encountered each other.

「What happens to the girl?」(Flora)

Princess Flora asked.

But that, I won't answer.

「That's a surprise for when I finish drawing it.」(Yuna)

「Then, hurry and draw! Hurry and draw!」(Flora)

I started writing again.

After that, I completed many drawings.

In the end, I drew the scenes where the girl went back to the village and Bear-san went back into the forest, which completed the picture book.

「Finished...」(Yuna)
