Chapter 3 - The Lightining Storm in the peak of tranquility

There stood a large clock tower at the center of the city that was located by a beach that stetches at a long distance.

There wandering or should I say walking on the bottom of the sea side is a large gundam mech that is tasked with guarding the sea for any trespassers that dare to come

I sat at the beach alone as a strong lightning storm was passing by in the distance

Many normal teens here are known to party, work, attend few idols concerts, etc. but not me

I was always alone whether at school or anywhere as evident by how I sat alone at this spot in the shore without any one here with me or anyone in general

I could spot to my left a large dome housing different exotic plants and animals

I could spot to my right a hotel that was a fancy one considered to be a structure that gets many well known visitors and is just very big and spacious.

I was currently cooking pumpkin soup with an electric kettle powered by my large powerbank watching as the gigantous gundam mech unsheathed their sword and was running at the lightining storm to chase it away.

I could hear the cars honking and many people mingling behind me.

What a ludicrous day

I always stay here because of my appreciation in the ethereal

I always enjoy those mise en se I see in fantasy but those are rare moments in my life

The concept of art is something I enjoy thinking about in my life for it is what brings me and reminds me of the beauty and comfort of life.

The many things I see here the giant clock tower and the gundam mech are artworks and whether they are allowed to exist together is up to the one who reads this piece of work

I am confused as of late because I am alone always

I have no friends and my family members are always going to work every day and lately I have not been to school in a while

I did not drop out but my school just had a long break

Only mine while I wonder out there in the thunderstorm

The large thunderstorm in the distance and the large gundam mech that raises it's sword to slash at it.

I enjoy certain beautiful things and my appreciation allowed me to find a difference between what I consider beauty and what I considered very ugly

I observed the many beautiful girls in my life through a monitor and I wondered if I will ever get a girlfriend. I wonder what having a kid would be like. I wonder many things that are best for the future but I enjoy this place this isolated beach.

My favorite is paintings about the large sea one of my favorites was an ukiyo-e.

That famous art piece titled the The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai opened up in me an interesting yet simple perspective in what I consider beauty.

The many works you read and listen to is something that brings one an amazing insight what one's love for the arts

Why does one make art

Look Back by Tatsuki Fujimoto would explain very much

This piece is just a blank state and you may read it how you like or enjoy it how you please but to be honest I do not know lately what I like now a days.

"Hey what are you doing over there bro."

"Huh? Oh it is you. What are you doing here."

"What do you mean what am I doing here....I am looking for you."

The one who appeared before me is my sister who seems to wear her high school uniform.

I was in an art college and yet I am enjoying the free time that was given to me.

I joined the art department of my college because of my interest in the arts and literary works but my parents wanted me to work in the legal management for a better future and repeatedly saying to me that art will give me no future.

Maybe they are correct since lately my art consist of this gundam mech that is fighting a lightining storm.

"Hey so uhhhh why are you just staring at sea side now it is a bright sunny day."

"I am watching a robot fight a lightning storm in the distance."

"What the hell are you saying you....you....you immature brother! there is no lighting storm! there is also no gundam mech so what are you saying now!"

"I can dream you know."

She let out a sigh and then told me her purpose for finding me.

"I want you to paint a portrait of someone."

"...what?!"

wait what a portrait!? in this day and age?! what is she saying to me.

"Look here now I understand how strange of a request it is but can you accept this request and order of mine."

"So you want me to paint a portrait of you? I can paint you a portrait just hand me your phone and then....."

"No! shut up! let me finish talking before you spout out idiotic lines!"

"okay what is it!"

"Look here no you idiot I want you to paint a portrait of this friend of mine she needs someone to paint her a portait of her because of her family tradition."

"Why do you want me to...."

"This job offers you 200,000 in cash."

"I will take the job."

"Well that was easier than I expected and here I was going to go on a full rant about..."

On the day of the job.

"Huh this is the painter you recommend to me!?"

"Uhhh yes he is a skilled painter I assure you."

"Okay then let's proceed follow me artisan."

Today in this large mansion I was accompanied by my sister to meet this friend of her she met at school.

"Hey uhhh dear sister you friend seems kind of....."

"Don't you worry dear brother she will not wave a fan, spout out cliche and cringey bratty lines, or go ohohohohohoho."

We were joking but we both noticed her tremble and give her fan to her servant as we were heading for the room I will paint her.

Later in the room my sister was at one side of the room trying to construct a good apology to this friend of hers, the friend of hers was sitting in her seat sulking and looking mad, while I was constructing my easel and preparing my equipment.

"So then ojou-sama I will...."

"Do not call me that you fiend."

Well that is a surprise she does not want me to call her that huh I would expect her to go on a full rant about me being a commoner or our levels not being the same or perhaps.....

"Whatever you are thinking of stop it I am not so shameless to actually do that to you now begin already or else."

"Okay then princess let's begin."

"Eh...?"

"What is wrong princess....or do you want me to call you miss."

"Whatever! Let's just start already or I will throw you out!"

She then fixed her composure and began to straighten herself making a serious expression and posture as if she is radiating a mature and elegant aura.

"What am I going to do if my brother fails then I might have to serve her like a maid for the rest of my first year."

What the hell kind of kinky thing did I just hear?

"What will happened to me if she...she...she."

Sigh calm down just focus on the painting.

I have not even finished with the sketching part when....

"What will our parents think when she sees me become a kiss ass to my friend oh the look."

"Can you shut up already you are noisy damn it!"

"I am very sorry."

My own sister despite her earlier action to me earlier from the beach she is the most polite, kind, and caring person I know.....however she is also the most how should I say it.....hilarious and very interesting.

Been about an hour when suddenly

"Break!" is what the young miss yelled out

She went off with her maids and went off with a casual look

"We shall continue this later be prepared commoner!"

Nevermind though she actually said it.

My sister then looked at her friend and made a look as if she was either shock or about to laugh....what is even happening?
