Odin: Ah, there you are, Shigure. Still painting that picture of yours, I see.
Shigure: Oh, hello, Father. I'm sorry, I didn't hear you come in. I apologize. I shouldn't be spending my my time on such frivolous pursuits. We are at war, after all.
Odin: You have absolutely no need to feel a shred of embarrassment, my son. It's clear that the goddess of art looks with favor upon you. Follow those magnificent instincts of yours, and create whatever you wish! Don't forget to ignore the prodding eyes of those who don't understand true brilliance.
Shigure: Hahaha. That's very kind of you to say, Father.
Odin: Now let me have a look. Hmm... I must admit that you rather lack a flair for the dramatic. Still, it's a tragedy that your work has so little opportunity to be appreciated. I only wish there was a way to introduce this genius of yours to the whole world.
Shigure: Father, don't be ridiculous.
Odin: Wait... Just maybe... Eureka! I know what to do! We bring together a menagerie of imagined worlds, trapped in oak frames... And we house each piece under one roof. What I mean to say is, why don't we have an exhibition of all your work?
Shigure: A-a solo exhibition? I don't think I'm ready for that. Not to mention that our troops are on the advance. It seems like a lot more trouble than it's actually worth.
Odin: Heh, you must have forgotten who you're addressing. I always make the impossible happen! For I am Odin Dark! All we have to do is rent a nice large tent. I'm sure the villagers and soldiers will be happy to help. Yes, I believe we can pull this off without an issue.
Shigure: It just seems absurd for me to reserve a whole tent for personal use...
Odin: Nonsense! Your artistic skill is a gift from the heavens! A true treasure for the entire nation... No, for all of humanity to admire! Hiding this precious gift would be worse than committing the most heinous crime. The choice is yours. Will you be a derelict who spits on your god-given talent... or will you blaze your own trail as a true artist?
Shigure: Fine, Father. I will put on this solo exhibition. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?
Odin: Too true! And with that, our contract is sealed. I swear that I'll do everything in my power to make this Banquet of Beauty a reality! Let our journey begin! We must gather more supplicants to our cause!
(Odin leaves)
Shigure: Thank you, Father.

Shigure: Hello, Father.
Odin: Ah, Shigure. Can I help you?
Shigure: Well, I've been thinking... You've done so much to make this exhibition happen. I just wanted to thank you. For everything.
Odin: Hahaha... It was no trouble. I had plenty of assistance... For no mortal can resist my command when under the spell of Black Vespa! Actually, most people wanted to help with the exhibition right away. I didn't have to use my dark powers at all. Hehe... Hahahaha...
Shigure: O-oh, I see...
Odin: Shigure, what's wrong? You look nervous.
Shigure: Maybe a little. The truth is, I'm not very proud of my newest painting. It... It still leaves something to be desired.
Odin: Oh? Are you referring to the new piece for the exhibition? Our event draws near... You must be courageous and divorce yourself from doubt and delusion. For you are a young champion of the arts!
Shigure: Of course. I must double my efforts to fix the piece. Everyone has put in so much effort to provide this opportunity for me.
Odin: I appreciate the commitment to excellence, but make sure to know your limits.
Shigure: Thank you, Father. If you'll excuse me, I must return to painting.
Odin: Excellent. And remember. Chin up!

Odin: That's odd... He has more fire in his belly than usual... I wonder what that boy is getting up to...

Odin: Finally, the big day has arrived! My son's own exhibit, at long last... The Banquet of Beauty! But first, I must inspect the tent... Hmm... Well, well, look at all these people. They've come in droves to see his art. And it seems that Shigure's work is going over well with the masses. Hahaha, yes, I feel it's safe to say that this banquet is a roaring success! Thanks to my tireless efforts, of course. I'm sure you agree, don't you, Shigure? Wh-where did he go? I can't see my Shigure anywhere! My gods! What if he was taken by some secret society bent on eradicating all beauty?!
Shigure: *pant*...*pant*
Odin: Sh-Shigure! Son! Thank goodness! You must have been able to escape the secret society just in time! Were you forced to use cunning or raw physical prowess to escape their clutches? Those villains are doubtlessly plotting their next move... But fear not! I will protect you!
Shigure: Father, calm down. I'm sorry for being late. I had to stay up all night to perfect the final painting in the series.
Odin: Wh-what? That's all? So that fiendish society doesn't exist?
Shigure: N-no, not at all. I'm perfectly safe...
Odin: Well then... That's certainly for the best. Wait, what am I saying? Staying up all night is absolutely unacceptable! What if, in a moment of exhaustion, you were to trip and injure yourself? We would have to cancel the entire show! There is already plenty of art here. Why did you feel it necessary to push yourself so hard?
Shigure: I-I'm sorry... I just wanted to finish this painting. I made it to show you my gratitude, Father.
Odin: Whatever do you mean? Th-this painting is of... your mother...and me?
Shigure: Yes, it's a portrait of you two. It was very important to finish it at any cost.
Odin: So this whole time, you were painting this?
Shigure: Yes... I wanted you both to know how much I appreciate and love you. If not for you two, I would have never entered this world. None of these paintings would ever exist. So I did what I could to harness my talent and pour that gratitude into the painting.
Odin: Shigure... Y-you...you are... truly an amazing child. This is the finest work of art that these eyes have ever seen!
Shigure: F-Father... I'm glad you like it. But when you hug me so tight, it's hard to breathe. Whew. That's better, hahaha.
Odin: Son, I feel as if my heart is nearly bursting with pride at your marvelous work. I'm so proud of you. Bravo!
Shigure: Thank you. I'm very proud to be your child.
Odin: Haha... I'm glad to hear it. Now then! This is no time to linger. We must hang this piece along with the others!
Shigure: Certainly. It is a little embarrassing, though.
Odin: Nonsense! Frankly, without it here, we could never call this the Banquet of Beauty! Am I wrong, Shigure?
Shigure: No... You're right, Father!
