"By the way, I'm here to find someone to draw pictures, illustrations for novels..."

If it weren't for Xing Ji's reminder, she might forget the purpose of coming here and just chatting could last until bedtime.

"A week has passed since the last time, and someone has stopped mentioning it at all."

"You……

So I, the original author, don’t care about you, I’m ashamed of myself.”

Xing Ke said and shook his head with a wry smile. In the past few days, he had been busy sorting out the manuscripts and supplements for the third volume, completely forgetting that he had left a great painter waiting here.

"Mashiro, have you read the first and second volumes I gave you?"

"Looked at it."

"How's it going? Comment on it."

"interesting."

"...Is it gone?"

"Altaïr, you are talking so strangely."

"..."

"Meteora, you talk a lot."

"..."

"In an instant he..."

"Okay, okay, I understand.

Mashiro, do you know why I didn’t add illustrations to these two books at the beginning?”

"..."

Mashiro shook his head.

"Actually, there is a truth about this book, that is, although most of the stories in the book are made up by me, the three main characters in the book, Setsuna, Altair, and Meteora, are actually

actually exist."

Upon hearing the secret revealed by Hoshiki, a glimmer of understanding flashed in Mashiro's eyes.

It seems she discovered it too.

"Just like the comics you create are derived from the prototype of Louise, my story also has a prototype.

Altair, Meteora and the prototype are actually little girls, they are all friends I met in another world.

We also established an organization [Hong Kong Ark] that spans multiple worlds together... Although the prototype of the organization was just established, I was temporarily separated from them because of death and reincarnation."

At this point, Xing Ke smiled bitterly.

I have learned so much magical knowledge and have been exposed to higher and higher dimensional levels, but until now I have not fully grasped the source of my talent and reincarnation.

Even the law of time cannot stop his own reincarnation, which he discovered when he died last time.

It seems that I still have a long way to go in the future.

"Since they are all my friends, I know their looks from the beginning, so there is no need for other illustrators to design them from scratch.

This is one point, and another point is——

If you want to paint a portrait of your old friend, of course you need the best painter to do it.

I didn’t think much about it when I was writing the novel. I had a feeling that since I couldn’t find a suitable candidate at the moment, I just left it blank.”

After saying this, Xing Mo looked at Mashiro who understood something and smiled:

"Now I know that, somewhere in the world, the position of illustrator should be reserved for you, it must be you.

This is definitely an inspiration reminder for the future me to give to the past me.”

Xing Ke has long stopped believing in fate after learning magic. In each world, as long as there is no world consciousness to block it, Xing Ke can freely control the cause and effect line of the destiny.

But if fate really comes by coincidence, then it must be the one in the future who has already controlled the mystery of time, and likes to deceive his own star moment and disturb the information of the past.

Otherwise, there is really no way to explain why there are more fateful coincidences in just a dozen years than in the original world when we spent hundreds of millions of years.

Apart from the explanation that he tricked himself, which has the most clues so far, Xingji really can't think of many other explanations.

Maybe it’s because Xingji’s speech was too shocking?

Mashiro was a little confused for a moment.

Generally speaking, words like "The place next to me is reserved for you" are used for confession, followed by "all this is the arrangement of fate" or "all this is God's arrangement".

grace】.

But Xing Ke not only used the words of confession to recruit [illustrators], but also added [inspiration from my future self to my past self] at the end.

This is indeed relatively new, right?

Mashiro was silent for a moment, and then nodded very energetically for some reason:

"I'll do my best."

"Yes...really? Just refuel appropriately."

This makes Xingke feel that it is quite rare. Mashiro has always gone all out. If he works harder, will he break through the sky?

Xing Mo is looking forward to it.

"I just want to work hard now."

"No, no, no, even if you say that, your expression has not changed at all on the physical level."

"Not at all?"

Mashiro's tone was a little regretful.

"I'm going to lie to you. The changes in the muscle fibers around the eyes can completely convey your meaning. Don't worry."

"Really?"

"real."

This is really true. Although the words are convoluted, Mashiro is not a real girl with facial paralysis. Although the facial expression changes little, the eyes are enough to explain everything. By the way, Xingke can review what he learned so many years ago.

Microexpressions.

Really interesting.

"[Memory]!"

As the sound of the spell sounded, the scene in the Xingke room suddenly changed drastically, breaking like glass.

"It doesn't matter, this is just an illusion formed by magic. Just treat it as the completed version of virtual projection technology."

Seeing that Mashiro was a little panicked because the floor he was sitting on suddenly broke apart, Hoshiki quickly explained.

"Illusion, a branch of magic, magic that manipulates light, shadow and human spirit. Now here are some scenes in my memory."

The new scene took shape quickly. The location was a Japanese-style room. There were many books and manuscript papers scattered on the floor, making it look like a study.

"This is the neon palace of another parallel world.

At that time, for some reasons, we cut off the entire Chiyoda District of Tokyo, another world, from the concept, made it into a miniature world, and controlled it to float in the void.

That place, while being regarded as the territory of the Macrorealm Ark, also serves as a [ship] for us to travel around the world. The name was chosen by me, and it is called [Department Courtyard]."

Using an illusion in his hand, Mashiro roughly simulated the composition of the [Death Garden]. Hoshikatsu smiled and turned his sight back to the study.

"And the Imperial Palace there is the residence we have temporarily chosen.

It was a start-up organization with a small number of people, and there were no talents proficient in construction, so we just used it.

In order to develop rapidly, we urgently needed a safe, stable, and versatile cross-world magic circle. We called it the [Rainbow Bridge Project].

So we need a place to gather wisdom and calculate formulas, and this study temporarily serves as a research room."

As he said that, Xingke's perspective turned to the direction of the study room and said:

"And what's there is the prototype in the novel I wrote——
Chapter completed!
