I wonder when it started...
Once again, I've been waiting for this day.
At first, it wasn't something I particularly wanted...
But lately... I find myself looking forward to this day that comes around every year.
I feel both excited and anxious about it.
To some, it's just 'that day' they casually brush off, but for us... it's a time of anguish we can't easily get past...
That very day is...
...Hey!!!
S-Sorry?
Master! What's taking you so long to check my diary?!
Well, I was just mentally preparing myself.
It's not a day I can easily get through.
R-really? Are you that excited to take a look at my diary? Hehe!
I wouldn't say excited... more like lowering expectations.
Lowering expectations… as in, relax and stop stressing over what's expected of you?
......
...Yeah, Erpin. That's right. Yes, exactly.
Ehehehehehe!
Alright, let me take a deep breath and take a look at your diary.
If I don't pay attention like last time, Ner will get really angry...
This time, I'll properly catch spelling mistakes... and make sure you didn't sloppily repeat entries.
I open Erpin's diary.
Before me unfolds a page of crooked, heavily written text and roughly sketched picture frames.
As I read through each sentence of the diary, I sometimes find it endearing, but...
The clumsy, oddly clingy writing gives me the unsettling sense that it's slowly eating away at my sanity.
Ashur once said that Erpin might unknowingly infuse magic into her writing.
As if she were creating a spell book.
Hmm, maybe it's because Erpin is a Sprite with talent for magical arts?
Just skimming this hastily written, messy diary makes me feel a bit lightheaded...
What are you looking at so intently? Is that part interesting?
Huh? Uh, I haven't really read it yet... What does it say here on this page?
Ooh! That day I just wrote random stuff to fill in a diary page I missed from a month ago!
Huh? Oh... I see?
You don't really remember what you did that day, so you just made up something to write?
I took an old story Ner told me before and wrote it as if I experienced it myself! Hehehe!
Hey! You can't write a diary like that, Erpin!
Eh? But isn't it fine to as long as I write something fun?
In the past, when Ner read diary entries like that, she even praised my creativity!
No, a diary isn't a novel...
*Swoosh, swoosh*
Wh-What? What's that sound?
Huh? Something weird is happening! Master, your hand is being sucked into the book!
Wha-What?!
*Swoooosh! Flash!!*
Aaaaaaaah!!!
Huh? Wh-what is this place?
What is this—this scribbly, half-heartedly scrawled world? W-wait, don't tell me...
This world looks exactly like the picture Erpin drew in her diary!!!
What on earth did you do to that diary?!
What are you talking about! I didn't do anything!
Ugh... Did we get caught up in some weird magic spell Erpin unconsciously used?
How do we get out of here?
Erpin! What did you write on that page?
What page?
What was that weird stuff you made up?!
Made-up weird story? I don't know anything about that...
Oh, r-right! I mean the diary you wrote "magnificently" and "creatively"!
Hehehe...! Well, it wasn't much really?
It's a story about the magical Crayon tribe ruling Elias!
Magical Crayon tribe...? What's that?
They're Dragons born from crayons!
What do crayons have to do with Dragons?
Huh? They're the CrayON tribe! Just like DragON, get it? Master, you're so smart but you didn't get that?
Haaah... R-right. So that's why they're Dragons?
That's what I said! Aren't I a total genius? Ahaha!
It's a story where everyone lives comfortably in this Elias ruled by the Crayon tribe.
It's about the Crayon tribe ruling the Sprite Kingdom instead of me, while I just watch and spend all day playing, munching on chocolate-flavored Crayons like popcorn!
......
And Ner praised you for that?
Ah... Ner praised an older diary entry! Back then, the story was about the Crayon tribe invading the Sprite Kingdom and me stopping them.
So... some time has passed and things have progressed a lot... is that it?
Yeah, that's it! It feels believable enough now—kinda works, doesn't it?
*Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh...*
A Sprite! There's a Sprite here!
H-Huh?
Wow! It's the Crayon tribe! They look exactly like what I drew!
The Sprite Queen?! Shouldn't she be in prison?! How is she here!?
Master! Look at this! This one's a white chocolate Crayon tribe member!
Uh, uhhh...?
Waaah! Stop following me with your drooling mouth, you Crayon predator!
Ehehehehe! Just let me have me one bite! Just one!
Uh, umm... Well... I guess it's not such a dangerous world.
Hmm... A diary entry is the record of what happened during one day...
If the day just passes, will we return to our original world?
Then we'll be able to go back to the original Elias.
Right, exactly! We'll just assume it works like that! Because it's Elias!
If I just take a look around... and keep an eye on Erpin so she doesn't cause any big trouble, time will pass quickly.
Well... it's kind of a cute world, so it's not bad.
Master! Hurry up! I'm gonna eat all the delicious Crayons! The golden ones taste the best!
Kyaaak! Run away! Save the Crayons!!
Erpin! Come with me! Don't just run off by yourself!
