“Ow!”

As they continued to embroider, one of the stitchers pressed down on their finger. They must have stabbed themselves quite deeply with their needle.

“Why don’t you drink a potion?” Forto suggested.

“No, I’ll be fine until the shift change!” the stitcher insisted.

“All you need is a sip, so drink it now! A painful finger will slow you down, and you might get blood on the fabric,” Zilo chided the stitcher.

Casting strengthening magic on one’s fingers caused the cover, colored with dye from the World Tree, to slip to the side when sewing. That led some stitchers to accidentally prick their fingertips and sometimes even bleed. Wiping off the blood with a handkerchief and drinking a bit of a potion before the shifts changed kept things moving faster.

Fortunately for Lucia, she was sewing without using magic, so all she needed to do was hold her embroidery loop firmly in place to keep it from slipping.

Due to the nature of the sketch for this second cover, the stitchers started embroidering from the center of the design. The sketch was incredibly detailed and had taken a lot of time just to draw. And since the dye used for the sketch vanished with time, the artist had had to finish it without taking a single break.

The stitchers got to work threading the design with embroidery thread. The beautiful, pleasant, light blue fabric subtly changed color when it moved, giving the impression of a sky and forest, so the sketch also became hard to see at times. Everyone was squinting slightly, their faces scrunching up almost into scowls as they focused on sewing.

Once the time came to switch shifts, one of the stitchers cried out in agony, “This horse is taking forever...!”

“It’s not a horse—it’s a unicorn,” Zilo said, rubbing his brow. In his other hand he held a needle threaded with brilliant gold thread.

The faintly visible outline depicted a pure white unicorn and a golden-haired maiden. The unicorn took up quite a lot of space, and the maiden’s skin was also white. Lucia suspected that once they were done with the horse, they would be lamenting that the maiden was taking forever.

“Horses and unicorns are almost the same thing anyway...” a nearby stitcher mumbled as he put his needle away in his sewing box. He looked absolutely exhausted from sewing too.

Lucia rose from her chair after what seemed like forever. Then, she met eyes with Lotta, who was standing in the corner of the room. She hadn’t looked at him because he was possessed by a bicorn. It had merely been a coincidence. Not wanting to be rude, she was about to look away when Lotta gave her a firm shake of his head, his face serious. He was wordlessly asserting that horses and bicorns were in fact not the same thing. Lucia had to fight hard to hold back her laugh.
