The biggest difficulty in working on Volume 3 of was setting the setting.

‘I think it would be okay to set the Skaarl as an indigenous race of the West.’

In the western part of the Sylvanian continent, there actually existed a tribe similar to American Indians.

Of course, most of them were annexed to the Borus Empire, where I live, and are now incorporated into the western part of the empire, but it is said that there are some who still maintain their traditions and remain at the western end of the continent, beyond the reach of the empire.

To be honest, it’s a merger, but just like the Indians, they were forcibly deprived of their land and incorporated as imperial citizens. It is said that there are still many conflicts between the natives and the relocated imperial citizens in the western part of the continent to this day.

‘The problem is how to set up King Brandon’s character.’

He is an important villain drawn from the cartoon that served as the motif, and a character who will play a key role in the I am creating.

However, it was really difficult to decide how to establish King Brandon’s identity.

No matter how fearless I am, it would not be enough to create an imaginary emperor and make that character an android.

Make him a villain? This is a game where you have to pay for your life even if you have about 10 heads.

So, lower the level slightly and set him as the general of the empire. As long as it’s that level, there will be no problem in carrying out the plan I have in mind.

The corps commander, who is the highest ranking military officer rank in the empire, runs the risk of being protested by actual corps commanders, and there is also something lacking.

So, although there is no position called General in the Empire, it would be appropriate to create a new position and give that position to King Brandon.

A general who wants to destroy the empire. It’s a satisfying setting because it seems somewhat plausible.

And since I had to draw the most important scene in Volume 3, I had to concentrate even more.

No matter how much you change the setting, some scenes cannot be left out, because for me personally, they were the core of the work.

Oh, by the way, I recently created a model to use as a reference when drawing ‘that scene’.

“Poppy, come here.”

A large dog that growls at my words and expresses its displeasure.

No, can you call that a dog?

“No Poppy! Lasshuya!”

Ada shouts as she climbs on top of the dog and hugs him.

Even though I was against it, my father had Alain rescue the puppy.

They say they had a hard time finding the biggest one, perhaps because of Ada’s request.

It is said that a hunter in the territory had a puppy that had lost its mother, so he exchanged money for it.

‘What kind of species is that?’

The puppy that came into our family was so big.

It was clearly a puppy that still looked young, but it was already as big as a fairly large dog, so I was embarrassed.

Ada just liked it because it was big like Patrasche in “The Dog of Flanders.”

I once again felt that Earth and this world are completely different.

Since the dogs here are raised out of necessity rather than as companion animals, there has been no research done on their species or characteristics, making it impossible to identify them.

Even though she is still a cub, Poppy can easily carry at least one Ada.

‘Poppy is the perfect model.’

I looked at Poppy closely and began sketching her features.

Perhaps because it is still a pup, its round face is cute in its own way, and yet its size is quite large, making it a perfect fit for the puppy character to be drawn this time.

‘That scene’ appears at the beginning of volume 3, and Skaarl appears afterwards.

Meanwhile, the identity of the enemies is gradually revealed.

And the story ends with the brothers’ journey toward the golden stone in earnest, and at the end, it is revealed that King Brandon, the general of the empire, was actually an android.

People are so crazy! I can already hear the screams.

Isn’t this the fire x fried noodles of another world?

We are spreading the taste of BulX fried noodles in a world where noodles still only taste like banquet noodles.

“Rasshuya! Let’s go deliver milk!”

Ada climbs on top of Poppy and hugs her neck, shouting.

Poppy’s expression looks like this again? It seemed like he was saying.

That’s because as soon as I opened my eyes, I went out for a walk, once for lunch and once today alone, to deliver milk twice.

As if Ada wasn’t tired, she started leading Poppy to her special cart again.

Like a calf being dragged to the slaughterhouse, Poppy looks at me with sad eyes and asks me to save her.

but

‘sorry. Ada’s stamina is beyond my ability to handle anymore.’

The only thing that can match the physical strength of a child is an animal, not a human.

Poppy fighting!

“I think it would be better to open the goods store you mentioned in both the capital and Somerset territory at the same time.”

Esteban confirms the plan I made and tells me what I can improve.

As the popularity of the works grew and sales of goods increased proportionally, I proposed opening a goods store.

In the past, the number of works was small and people had little understanding of goods, so we had no choice but to proceed step by step.

It was calculated that it was worth a try now.

“Really, the dexterity of dwarves that I have only heard about is truly a god-given talent.”

The craftsmanship of the goods made so far was by no means bad, but there were many things that could not be made due to limitations in technology.

Kroon, who joined us this time, solved that problem.

For example, the ‘figure’ released this time was a representative example.

Until now, the only dolls I’ve seen were stuffed toys made of leather and cotton.

When I gave Kroon a rough explanation of the figure, he immediately performed the miracle of creating a prototype.

-In order to make the joints rotate smoothly, circular joints are connected rather than interlocking. If you do this, the durability will be much better.

Create a modern-looking figure skeleton in an instant

Once I colored it, one figure was completed.

After that, when the seamstresses made and dressed the figures in costumes that matched the size of the figures, amazingly outstanding figures were born, and we decided to sell them as new goods.

However, one problem arose: there was no suitable place to sell it.

In fact, the current method of selling goods is to sell them on behalf of Uren’s branch branches.

Both I and the merchant owner agreed that we needed a symbolic place that specialized in selling only goods.

As the variety of goods was increasing, it was difficult to display them, and more than anything, dealing with customers who came to buy goods was interfering with the business of the merchant, so it was an urgent problem.

“Actually, it’s my fault that I didn’t expect it to become this popular.”

Esteban Sanjangju said with a smile.

He also confirmed the potential of the goods, so he went into business with me.

He, too, seemed surprised when what he thought he could handle by just using the points at the top suddenly became a burden.

Considering that there was no subculture like this in this world, I personally think it’s great just to feel the potential for goods.

“Still, it’s disappointing. There would definitely be a difference if it were only in the Somerset estate.”

“Goldpool Valley, which is on the outskirts of the south, has very low population mobility.”

It certainly was. No matter how attractive a product may be sold exclusively at a goods store in Somerset Estate, it is true that this alone is not enough to attract people.

So, as a matter of regret, it was decided to open a head office in the capital and a slightly smaller branch in Somerset.

‘If we build a landmark like Yuxversal Studio or Disney Land, even if it is a remote area, we will have a competitive edge.’

But it wasn’t that there was no hope.

If you think about the amusement park located in Chiba, a province outside of Tokyo, the name Tokyo Disney Land does not live up to its name.

Ultimately, the conclusion is that awareness is more important than accessibility.

It’s just that I can’t build such a theme park because my work is not enough yet.

One day, if the number of works increases and awareness and fans increase, there will come a day when it will not be a problem to set up a head office here in Somerset.

‘Because I like this place.’

It may be unexpected to say that I have become attached to the place where I live now in just a few months.

That was the case.

Even the Somerset family, who seemed awkward at first, now feel like my family.

In particular, the residents of the estate always greet our family with a smile when we walk around the estate.

The employees at our workshop follow me even when I sometimes ask them to work hard.

When I thought of the precious vassals who supported the family without leaving even when it was difficult, I wanted to do something for them.

If I only wanted to eat well and live well for myself or my family, the current situation was enough.

It has been a long time since sales of books and existing goods alone exceeded the estate’s revenue.

You probably won’t have any problems throughout your life even if you live in moderate luxury.

However, what I have achieved is not thanks to me alone.

This luck came to me thanks to the authors of children’s books who left behind a great legacy and the countless cartoons that became my motif.

I think the best thing I can do is make this world a better place with the works I create.

There are many things I learned and felt only after coming here.

Why did old children’s book writers

For example, were Andersen’s works like that?

Whenever I think of ‘The Little Match Girl’, one of his representative works, I am always moved by its tragic content.

Why did he write such a work?

Considering what kind of environment children were in during the time he lived, what did Andersen want to convey to us through a children’s book with such tragic content?

Suddenly, I remembered the story told by the owner of the merchant.

It seems like a lie that the sales of children selling goods on the side of the road increased significantly after the children’s book was published.

I don’t know if that’s true or not because I haven’t seen it in person.

But through that story, I decided to do one thing.

I decided that no matter what my future work would be, I would like to create work that would have at least some positive impact on the world.
