"Liuli's World" — English Version

Draft spun around.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAtWuMKZV7XX
What she saw was someone completely different from this world—and yet just as dazzling.
11Please respect copyright.PENANADcQl6B0Kqu
A girl stood in the field of shifting colors, as if she had walked straight out of the glowing light. Her hair fell smoothly over her shoulders, coated in a gentle sheen. Under the sun, it reflected shades like flowing liquid, colors rippling through every strand. With each small step she took, the hues shifted softly—vivid, but never harsh.

Her eyes were bright and clear, carrying soft gradients that looked like glass marbles catching sunlight. Every piece of her clothing seemed to be woven from different colors and textures, changing subtly as she moved. Nothing about her was overwhelming—only beautifully striking.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA1qlXyT8bUt
Draft's little heart gave a sudden thump.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAtFy3LI2yHb
She instinctively raised her arms to hide herself.
Compared to this breathtaking stranger, her messy, simple, slightly crooked pencil lines suddenly felt embarrassing.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAzUq8GUUFBc
She lowered her head, looking like a page someone had scribbled on carelessly.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAhwpyxf4vZO
"Hm?"
11Please respect copyright.PENANA9eMPWn5HH6
The girl tilted her head, curiosity and gentle warmth in her voice.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAAXxLWBVMTX
She stepped closer.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAvDKueXPPSo
"Where did you come from?"
11Please respect copyright.PENANAHL5ctbBjE6
Draft froze.
She truly didn't know why she was here or what this world was called. The words tangled in her throat as her heartbeat picked up. She clutched her pencil tighter; her lines trembled slightly. Nothing came out.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAXCiheHeQIL
Seeing her panic, the girl continued on her own:
11Please respect copyright.PENANANdCjOFYMnK
"My name is Liuli, but you can call me Li!"
11Please respect copyright.PENANASDPXMFfJH0
She offered Draft a bright smile, her eyes curving with interest.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAfWVORjpztQ
"I don't really know how you got here, but… you don't seem like someone from our world."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAqce2aS3OkW
Draft nodded very carefully.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAfPs4i6C2Yi
Liuli's eyes sparkled for a moment.
"So cute."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAWeEWc24MXL
Draft froze again.
It was the first time anyone had ever said something like that to her. She didn't dare look up, only shrinking further.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAAfRVZD37pE
Liuli didn't seem to notice her nervousness and continued cheerfully:
11Please respect copyright.PENANArD44H2OY50
"Let me explain a bit—this world belongs to me. My mom made it for me. Isn't it pretty?"
11Please respect copyright.PENANAki8GxxVX6H
Draft blinked. "Mom…?"
11Please respect copyright.PENANAfZiC3TSWJQ
She had never imagined what a "mom" looked like, nor what it meant to be "made."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAx1RSI6WJoG
Liuli suddenly turned to her as if something clicked.
"Then what about your mom? How did you get here? Your mom gave you some amazing traveling power! You can cross worlds? That's so cool—"
11Please respect copyright.PENANAZd4RzdNUkA
Draft's mind buzzed like a struck string.
She shook her head instinctively—then paused, realizing she didn't even know if she should. She stood stiffly, not knowing what to do.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAS0js6DJfd1
Liuli let out a soft laugh and reached out to pat the lines on Draft's head.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA4JebA19hSN
"But you… look a little unfinished."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAPslAV3tPz6
Draft twitched slightly, like someone had poked her with a needle.
11Please respect copyright.PENANANj1fDh16Ti
But Liuli's tone was kind:
"That's okay! I can ask my mom to design a cute look for you. Would you like that?"
11Please respect copyright.PENANAFGLGU4ESus
Draft's eyes widened.
She wasn't sure if she was allowed to accept such kindness, or if she would be a bother. But… she really did want to look just a little prettier, like everything in this world.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAoWnwGEkcIe
She nodded, small but firm.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAB1GeMkxWCK
"Great!" Liuli grabbed her hand right away.
"Come on, I'll take you to see Mom! She's only free at night, so you can hang out at my place first!"
11Please respect copyright.PENANA12Uj36Uqbj
Draft stumbled as she was pulled along, nearly dropping her pencil. She clung to it tightly as Liuli led her into the depths of color.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAWO8fJSAMOi
They walked through a forest where the leaves shifted in gradients, shimmering like a wall of moving glass in the wind.
They crossed a flowing stream—not clear water, but rippling rainbow liquid so clean it reflected perfect shadows.
They stepped onto soft ground that glowed with faint light whenever touched, and Draft found herself staring at her footprints in awe.
11Please respect copyright.PENANACsSM079cgh
"This place is… strange… but really pretty."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAK3BmH3cDMm
Draft said it softly.
11Please respect copyright.PENANANOA2kAi0zF
"Right?" Liuli laughed. "I love it too."
11Please respect copyright.PENANARpAyWVMGpE
Draft blinked, surprised by the way Liuli looked at her—like she truly cared about what she thought.
11Please respect copyright.PENANALWe9dQDjER
They finally arrived at a small house floating with gentle points of color. Draft stood quietly at the door, her thin lines looking even more fragile in this vibrant world.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA89WdPe11hv
Liuli pushed the door open.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAt80hmED5wn
"Come in! Mom will be back tonight."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAHBsthUoGMS
Draft nodded. "Okay…"
11Please respect copyright.PENANACP17a8HmiB
Inside, the colors remained rich but never overwhelming.
The walls looked like washed watercolor.
The floor was soft, like layers of fading cloth.
Shelves held odd-shaped bottles filled with glowing liquid colors.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAjqQ2PWjA6N
Draft sat down carefully, her leg lines trembling slightly.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAgaHLmz0mE5
Liuli tapped her lightly.
"You still haven't told me your name."
11Please respect copyright.PENANA4Fda2q6E4f
"I… I'm Draft."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAMzhmDVZHED
"Oh? That's a nice name!"
11Please respect copyright.PENANAEhUHrlPICf
Liuli beamed.
"What's the story behind it?"
11Please respect copyright.PENANA4w9tZ7Zand
"I… named myself."
11Please respect copyright.PENANAIEzkb7IO60
Liuli's eyes lit up.
"Wow, that's pretty cool!"
11Please respect copyright.PENANAaVjeMqz5im
Draft's cheek lines warmed with a faint blush.
11Please respect copyright.PENANA4dCrZEGvo7
Time passed—
11Please respect copyright.PENANAca7sO2jsLM
Draft sat by the window, watching the shifting colors in the sky outside.
Liuli played with crystalline bits of color nearby, occasionally glancing over at her guest.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAOqUOaGCAsr
Then—
11Please respect copyright.PENANAsKNzTpA6CH
The door opened gently, carrying a soft glow.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAUYASFXPwR4
A warm voice floated in with the light:
11Please respect copyright.PENANALNbdjLB0Vg
"Liuli? What are you up to? And the little one beside you is…?"
11Please respect copyright.PENANAf4bE3RqOJR
Draft shot to her feet, her lines pulling tight.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAjrGtjl62u4
Liuli rushed forward with a smile:
11Please respect copyright.PENANAxvOCSoctHO
"Mom! This is the kid I told you about!"
11Please respect copyright.PENANASjuFuG19WK
Draft stood frozen.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAT62aDmqinR
Standing at the doorway was "Mom"—a being even more radiant than Liuli herself, her whole form flowing with the light of a world.
