——Some people can feel the rain, while others are just wet.

Chris stretched out his hand flat and felt the numbness and itchiness of the dense raindrops hitting the palm of his hand.

She likes rainy days.

I like the isolation feeling of being able to do nothing but staying in the room and listening to the sound of rain outside the window.

I like to hold an umbrella on rainy days, feel the leisurely feeling of raindrops slapping on the umbrella surface and then sliding down from the edge.

I also like the wet city under the night, with neon illusion reflected everywhere.

Because at this time, it is a time when even one person can feel lonely and happy.

Don't want to connect with anyone.

In a sense, even I feel that I am a difficult person to deal with...

But.

I don’t know when I started to gradually fade away.

Now, as long as you continue to be "Chris", you can always enjoy the happiness surrounded by all kinds of love.

Unlike the loneliness I used to in the past, this is another completely unfamiliar experience.

But...is not bad.

Looking at the person standing beside him, Chris felt a very delicate feeling.

If he didn't have the strategy like in the original animation, he would still fall in love with him.

Does that mean more or less that part of what he likes... is the real "me"?

"Miss Chris, would you like to get wet with me in the rain?" Looking at her face, Van asked suddenly with a chuckling.

Chris was slightly stunned.

His teasing look made her suddenly recall that Vien once asked himself what Asassia was.

At that time, I told him:

It is time to help hold an umbrella when it rains, and if you don’t have an umbrella, you will get wet together.

Glanced at him, Chris said, "Are you a fool? How can a lady run out to get in the rain?"

Hearing Chris's answer, Wien showed a hint of embarrassment.

He just said it casually.

"There is an umbrella in the carriage, please wait." Fortunately, Karen relieved Vien's predicament.

The coachman who had been waiting outside saw a few people coming out, turned around and stopped under the steps at the door.

However, they failed to get on the carriage.

Modric followed him at some point.

I saw him reaching out to pull the corner of Vine's clothes, and his resentful eyes were as if he was looking at a benefactor who was unwilling to be blessed.

"Hey... I will take compulsory measures if I don't let go." Wien looked dark.

"I heard that the most profitable business is human business!"

Modric said so.

Standing in a place with sufficient light, I realized that although the clothes he was wearing were clean, it was obvious that they were already very old, and the original bright colors were washed a little white.

"Believe me, this deal will definitely be the investment with the highest return rate in the Winchet family!"

Ah... do you also want to participate in human trafficking?

After his series of explanations, Wien finally realized what he was selling in the gourd.

It seems that he is unwilling to leave the capital in shame, and he also wants to use the help of the Wenche family to fight again.

Looking at his outfit, Wien said expressionlessly: "So, what can you provide for us?"

Several people stood at the door and started an interview on the spot.

"The venue, and I am a talent." Modric was full of confidence, "I'm not sure about it. I'm actually a genius painter with a pearl covered in dust!"

It's okay to be boasted by yourself.

If he is really a talent, it doesn't matter if he recruits it.

Modric is still a viscount no matter what. Even if he comes from other provinces, he has no foundation in the king. But this is not a problem. The foundation of the giant tree of the Wenche family is large and thick.

If he uses the channels of the Wenche family to find him a position in the royal capital, wouldn’t he have a foundation?

However, the premise of all this must be based on the fact that this person has real talent and real learning.

"So, your masterpiece?" Wien asked suspiciously.

Speaking of his paintings, Modric became reserved: "Please follow me to see."

Several people looked at each other and returned to the dim room with him.

Modric led everyone into the back room from the other passage, no longer had his previous lazy expression, his attitude was extremely cooperating, and even cooperated with some terrible legs.

"My paintings are all stored in the warehouse behind."

Walking out from the other side, I found that there was a very large open space in the backyard.

"When I first came to the capital, I was deceived by someone because I was not familiar with the place and bought this land at a very high price."

He talked about the past that was unbearable to look back on.

"At that time, I didn't think this was a big deal."

"After all, you can make money if you spend it. I think my paintings will soon be successful, be very popular, and become a guest of honor for many great nobles in the royal capital."

As a result, reality is obviously not as wished.

Otherwise, he would not have fallen to what he is now.

"Mr. Modric, haven't considered participating in the Artists Association in the past?"

In order to regulate the management of various industries, after official filing, the Kingdom allowed all sectors of society to establish some associations of industry exchange nature.

Generally speaking, there are many big names in those places, and they will also provide all association members with a platform for communication. Joining a well-funded association organization is also a good choice for newcomers who have just entered the industry.

The most influential Society of Kingdom Painters is the official association of the same level as the Society of Kingdom Playwrights and led by the Saint-Lornes royal family.

As far as Vien knows, the Kingdom Painters Association often makes albums for some new painters and introduces them to the major nobles in the aristocratic circle.

If their paintings are attracted by them, they will be lucky enough to receive long-term funding from the great nobles, so that they can concentrate on creating and not produce.

Chris alone has sponsored many painters in the name of the Winchet family.

In the aristocratic circle, there are many similar forms of funding, whether it is a playwright, painter, or pianist... as long as it can be appreciated, there will be opportunities.

In contrast, whenever those artists who were troubled became famous, they often had to give their reputations and spread the title of the noble who sponsored him even louder.

However, only a few of the few who can receive funding, and the rest are just hidden in their names.

Modric sighed.

“I was originally joined.

"But, on the first day, I had a conflict with the president of the Kingdom Painters Association and sarcastically mocked him.

"So, I was fired. Because of this, the other painters' associations were unwilling to take me in."

As he said that, his eyes were filled with regret.

“…”

Wien didn't know what to say.
