I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 1345 - Garden of Myriad Flowers

Chapter 1345 - Garden of Myriad Flowers ⑦

After seeing the pottery room, we went to the next room, which was a room filled with paintings, which again were beautifully decorated on the walls. I could really tell from it that Rosemary-san is a meticulous person.

To be honest, I think I understand paintings better than pottery. Though I say that, this would be obvious, but I have no clue about difficult stuff, and I’m just going about with my hunch here……

However, the paintings in this room are probably quite expensive, so I’m curious how much it will cost when all of them are added up.

[……How should I say this…… There’s a lot of them here huh.]

[This painting room is the largest room in the bas.e.m.e.nt after all.

[Indeed, this place is so large that it could already be called a museum. The way it’s decorated is also beautiful. Are all the frames also different?]

[Unnn. Each painting has its own frame.]

I looked at the painting absentmindedly, thinking that the attention to detail was amazing. Although it’s only my hunch, I think I can tell which paintings seem to be of great value.

If the frames are clearly of a certain era, holding quite the majesty within them, or if they’re displayed in a conspicuous place in the room, I think they would be expensive.

[……By the way, this might be a strange question to ask, but is that the most expensive painting among these?]

[Hmmm…… It should be the painting over there. It’s one of the seven paintings referred to as “Seven Planets”, a collection of paintings depicting the landscape and the starry sky, painted from seven different places in the Demon Realm 10,000 years ago. What is amazing is that the paints used for this collection of paintings are completely unknown.]

[Unknown paints?]

[Unnn. It’s a paint with a mysterious sheen, which has never been confirmed outside of those seven paintings. There have been anecdotes of many people trying to reproduce this paint in the past, but they have been unable to produce the same thing.]

Listening to Rosemary-san’s story and looking at the paintings, it was clear that they had a unique l.u.s.ter to them. A unique l.u.s.ter that has this mysterious feel to them. It has this strange attractiveness to it, pulling you in with its beauty, yet you could also feel this ominousness from it…… It has an atmosphere that is clearly alien to the other paintings.

Indeed, unlike the other paintings, I could feel that this painting itself possesses intensity.

[It’s true that the painting somehow has this dreadfulness from it.]

[Unnn. The picture has this faint magic power in it, but its wavelength is mysteriously different. There’s a theory that these paintings were done using paints from another world.]

[I see, that would indeed make them very rare.]

[Unnn. After all, it’s one of the only seven paintings in the world. I really happened to pa.s.s by when it first went on sale and liked it so much I bought it, but if I were to buy it now…… Errr, I don’t really think I can put a price on it. At least, I would need to waste billions of R to buy it.]

The painting is so valuable that it might cost several hundred billions or even trillions in some cases…… That’s amazing.

[It’s just, the strange thing is that this painting…… It was sold at a stall.]

[Eh? A stall?]

[Unnn. For some reason, it was being sold by a strange stall keeper who was wearing a dog-like costume with a beret. Well, many of the artists are rather strange after all.]

[……I see.]

Isn’t that Alice? Yep, it’s definitely Alice. She probably painted and sold those paintings for pocket money. It wouldn’t be surprising if she had used some kind of strange process or materials to make those mysterious paints.

While I was looking at other paintings…… I suddenly found a painting that caught my attention.

[Ahh, this painting looks great. I really like the colors and the atmosphere, as it has this gentle feel to it.]

It was a painting of a flower garden, with gentle colors and touches that gave it a relaxing atmosphere. Even though I don’t know much about art, I felt that it was a nice painting that I could enjoy looking at.

Although it was displayed at the far end of the room, I still think this painting is my favorite among all the paintings I have seen here.

I looked back at Rosemary-san with these thoughts in mind, only to see her covering up her face that was blus.h.i.+ng red.

[Ahh, errr…… I- Is that so…… T- Thank you.]

[……Yes?]

[Ummm, I mean…… that’s a painting I made.]

[Eeeehhhh!? I- Is that so!?]

I never thought it was Rosemary-san who made this painting. Rather, Rosemary-san is really good at painting huh. I don’t think a painting with an atmosphere like this could be painted by an amateur……

[That’s surprising. You’re a good painter huh, Rosemary-san.]

[T- That isn’t the case. It’s just that I put the best one I painted on display, so it’s not very often that I can paint as well as that one……]

[No, no, it’s great that you can paint something this great. At least, I don’t think this is something I can achieve, so I think it’s really great.]

[Auuuu…… I- I’m embarra.s.sed. However, hearing you say that makes me happy. Thank you, Kaito-kun.]

The smile of Rosemary-san, who was smiling shyly with a blush, somehow looked really cute, and I felt like my face was also turning red.

Serious-senpai : [They’re just freaking flirting…… D*mn it, it hurts……]

? ? ? : [Serious-senpai, my throat is parched here, can’t you spout out something like cola?]

Serious-senpai : [Like h.e.l.l I can spout stuff like that! What kind of creature do you think I am!!!?]

? ? ? : [A rare animal…… with an amusing ecology?]

Serious-senpai : [Isn’t that too mean?]
