The Fields of Auvers
Nixie, a genius chemist and the goddess of fortune who led the war to victory... was also the notorious nutcase of her unit. The very first thing she did after the war ended was blow her entire fortune on land in a small rural village down south.
She'd conquered the world—surely she could manage farming in some tiny countryside village?
Back then, Nixie never imagined she'd be bankrupt within six months.
I mean, how was she supposed to know a typhoon would kill all the sweet potatoes!
'Crazy Nixie.'
She was the kind of person who couldn't escape words like "insane" or "crazy" no matter what.
Nixie, genius chemist with a streak of mania, had created bean plants that sprouted in a week flat.
And where did she plant them? In the depressed painter's yard, naturally.
***
Benjamin Richter, painter and severe depressive, woke up one day to find a bean plant the size of a baobab tree towering majestically in his yard. He buried his face in his hands.
"Where is that lunatic?"
"Probably... enjoying the festival right about now?"
So that crazy woman had turned his yard into Jack and the Beanstalk, then wandered off to enjoy a festival like nothing happened?
The painter swore he wouldn't set foot outside today.
"Take me to wherever that lunatic is."
Really. He meant it.
