It's been 3 days since that day.
Since that day, I haven't seen a shadow of Victoria. Usually she invites me to play almost every day. I'm bored.
"Will, where has Vii-chan gone? It's strange that she hasn't invited you to play for the past 3 days." Zenith asked seeing me pensive at the dining table looking at the yard.
"I don't know, maybe she's busy helping her mother," I answered wearily.
'Bored, should I just go for a walk around this village?' I thought then I stood up and opened the door to go out.
"Where are you going Will?"
"I'm going for a short walk mom"

Berak News,
An adult man was found unconscious on the road. That's all I am William reporting.
I did say that I was bored, but after just walking for a while I found someone lying on the road.
"E-Eat…."
Hm? This voice, I seem to have heard it before.
"E-eat…."
Ah! he's Michael.
"Hey Uncle Michael, are you okay?"
"Eat...."
"Eat?, OK Wait."
Hearing Michael's Autopilot groan, I looked for something to eat. I then found an apple tree whose fruit was quite tall. I then used wind magic to knock the apple down. I caught the fruit that managed to fall quickly.
*Catch! *x5
Hehe For the most talented human like me, things like this are very easy.
"Eat...."
Opps I'd better immediately hand this apple over to Michael. He's been moaning like that ever since.
"This is Uncle Michael, I have apples." After I handed the apple in front of Michael. He immediately devoured it with big bites.
*Chomp! * *Munch! * *Munch! * *Munch! * *Munch! *
"Haa I thought I was going to starve to death. Thank you William-kun." Michael, who had completely devoured his apple, thanked him while wiping the remains of apple juice in his mouth.
"But why did Uncle Michael faint here?"
"2 days ago, uncle was ganged up on by beast race thugs here, he confiscated all of uncle's things. The thug was quite strong even though he was limping. Uncle tried to fight but he lost." Michael told the chronology of events while demonstrating his fight with his girly style.
Anyone will win against your fighting style Michael. But the bad guy might be Victoria's father. That b*stard really can't be helped.
Hearing Michael's condition made me remember what Victoria said 3 days ago.
"Uncle Michael, do you want to be my painting teacher?"
Michael who heard that rolled his eyes not believing what he heard. "What? What did you say?"
"Uncle Michael, do you want to be my painting teacher? But I have to ask my parents first. So don't get your hopes up, okay?" I said, replaying my words to Michael, who was still shocked.
Michael then covered his stunned mouth and started crying. Then he jumped at me. "Wow, I want to, thank you William-kun."
Seeing Michael using the Jump Hug move, I quickly hit him in the stomach.
"Bghh!"
*Thud! *
Michael, who was hit in the stomach, fell down, I then cleaned my gloves and said, "I warned you that I don't like it when someone touches me carelessly. Remember that!"
"Ughh Fine, As expected of a goddess-like figure, mortals like us don't deserve to handle your divine body carelessly." Michael knelt down while holding his still sore stomach.
It looked like the bolt in his head had moved. "No, why Goddess, I'm a man."
"Yes, my Lord." MIchael answered quickly and looked into my eyes with his crazy gaze.
Why are my followers increasing like this?

"No way!"
It turns out that everything can't run smoothly. apparently Zenith refused to accept Michael as my art teacher.
"I don't believe that this person can teach you how to paint. If you want to learn to paint, I'll find a more trustworthy teacher." Zenith pointed to Michael who had a messy appearance and beard.
"Psst Michael, try showing your painting skills to convince mother." I whispered to MIchael who answered by nodding his head.
"Mrs. Greyrat, I can confirm that I have the skills to teach your children. No one can paint better than me, Michael da Vinci." Michael puffed out his chest and smiled proudly.
"...."
"We can test Uncle Michael. If the painting he makes is bad, we can reject it. But if it's good, we can accept Uncle Michael as my painting teacher. Please, mom." I used my pleading move cutely to Zenith who was still hesitating.
"Ugh Yes Yes, Haa I can't win against you huh." Zenith, who was attacked by high-level Trap's cuteness, made her helpless and finally gave up.
Hehe Being a high level Trap makes everything easy.
"Michael, that's your name right. Try drawing on this paper. You can freely draw what you want. Later I will judge you on the results of your drawing." Zenith then took out a painting tool from somewhere.
"Okay, I will finish it perfectly." Michael arrogantly took it and started painting quickly.
-15 minutes later-
"It's finished. Please see Madam." Michael handed over his painting to Zenith with a haughty smile.
Zenith took the painting and then looked at it silently.
"...."
"You are accepted as a painting teacher here. Later you will teach William and his twin brother, Rudeus."
"Okay, thank you ma'am."
What? no criticism or comments? Why do I feel like the plot is progressing too fast?
Zenith then whispered something to Michael and Michael nodded his head. Receiving a positive response from Michael, Zenith then rushed back into the house holding Michael's painting.
Wait, I still have a request. "Mom can i..."
Zenith who heard my request smiled and agreed to my request. When Zenith turned around, the painting in her hand fell, revealing a painting of me being fed and sitting on Zenith's lap.
"...."
*Swish! *
Zenith picked up the fallen painting and ran into the house with reddened ears.
"Hehe, I saw that William-kun also seemed to be keeping his distance from your mother, so I thought that maybe you don't really like being pampered. That's why I drew things that you probably rarely do but your mother would like to see." Michael explained his strategy with his evil smile.
You... really graduated from PhD Marketing, right?
*******
"Will-niisan, this is heavy, why do I have to carry your painting tools too?" Rudeus, who is currently undergoing a training program to become a slave, protests, questioning his human rights.
'Tsk, you weakling, this is for your own benefit, but he keeps protesting loudly. I'll just give him a service so he'll be more obedient."
I then stood in front of Rudeus and brought my face closer to him then smiled and said in a cute tone, "A-after all it's hard, heavy, I can't stand it. Thank you for helping me. Rudeus-kun is very kind~"
Rudeus who was hit by a combo attack from my face and my cuteness. Making her face red and mumbled, "Y-yes, Will-niisan you're too close."
"Whips and candy, Sasuga my god." Michael, who had been watching all this time, nodded his head in satisfaction.
"I told you I'm not a god, why do you keep calling me that?" I walked towards Michael carrying the painting tools I prepared for someone.
"Ugh, you two-faced bastard, I actually wanted to spend more time with Roxy-sensei. But this tyrant forced me. Besides, it's really cunning to have a face like that to act cute. Then his crazy followers only increased. Victoria-chan was also crazy about him yesterday. He's just a guy with a pretty face. Don't be impressed. I'm still normal." Rudeus muttered shaking his head as he kept repeating the words "I'm Still Normal", "I like women."
"What do you say?"
"It's nothing."
While we are preparing the tools and place for today's painting lesson. Wild Victoria appeared from behind the fence peeking. Yosh Michael, I choose you.
"Will-kun what are you doing?" Victoria tilted her head.
"You came at the right time. Come here."
I then pulled Victoria and made her sit in the place I had prepared.
"You said yesterday you wanted to be able to paint like Uncle Michael. So I asked Uncle Michael to teach us how to paint."
"Don't worry, Uncle will make you the best artist in the world."
"Yokatta ne Victoria-chan." (A/N: It's hard to find the vocabulary here.)
Victoria, who heard that, was silent and her shoulders shook.
*Sniff! *
Then she raised her head and saw tears streaming down her cheeks. Then she lunged and hugged me tightly and cried loudly.
*Sniff! *
"UWAAHH!"
'Ugh It feels like being hugged by a cockroach. But....today I just let it go. It's also my practice too.' I thought, smiling while stroking Victoria's head.
