The debut of the Death Knight cluded smoothly. Although there were some deys due to the special effects of the Holy Light spells and the efforts to prevent adventurers from rep to the Southern Knights Order, Logistics Minister Wrenley was hassled for a while, but ultimately, the shooti smoothly.
"After a few more small ses, once we finish filming the final battle with the Headless Horseman, the first shoot of our crew will officially be ed up. Don't sck off these days. Give it your all to present the best film!"
"Yes, Director Durin!"
Aced to this title, everyone answered in unison. Edward returo the inn where he was staying and pced the stack of pleted imaging crystals oable uhe dlestick.
With the slow input of magic, the recorded video footage stored within the crystals rojected into the air. Edward, who quickly uood the operation, sooed the images on a not-se curtain.
In an instant, like watg a movie on the square in a previous life, Edward's eyes were filled with the ses of the stories filmed earlier.
"Ohis film is released, won't those ied in this teology flock to it?"
This was a situation Edward had long thought about. After all, the potential of magical rec maes and imaging crystals was unimaginable. Although for Edward, they were just props for shooting movies, for the Empire, this teology would bring about ges in both military and civilian fields. After all, in a world without even cameras, transitioning directly to video rec maes was a huge leap.
"Let's talk about those things wheime es. After all, I, as a transmigrator, don't even have any cheats. I still have to rely on my owal strength as a mage to recall memories from my past life. It's really tough..."
Muttering to himself, Edward slowly peeled off the magi the imaging crystals. As he watched the curtain lose its image due to the loss of magic, he couldn't help but furrow his brow. "inally, I po sell these crystals like DVDs and create a disc market, but now it seems that designing emas is the best way to distribute them. After all, this thing requires magic to operate. It's too far-fetched to think that everyone in this era will have access to magic…”
Shaking his head and temporarily putting aside thoughts about the future, Edward refocused on the present. After all, he hadn't even finished shooting one film yet, so thinking about things so far ahead ointless.
Acc to Edward's pn, this film, "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World," was already 60-70% plete. The remaining tasks included the purification of water, the duel with the previous transmigrator, and the final shoith the Headless Horseman.
Filming the purification of water task wasn't too difficult, although it might be too exg for the actress Aya. But with Edward, a great mage, overseeing it, there shouldn't be any danger. After all, if things went wrong, Edward could simply expend more magic to skip the ting and instantly freeze the ke with a level five ice age spell. Although it would definitely freeze Aya along with it, it would only result in a slight cold at most.
Furthermore, for the remaining two ses, the actors for the duel and some miras had already been found. In this world, most problems could be solved with money. Even if the actors' quality was g, as long as Edward used some suggestive magic, he could instantly immerse people who didn't know how to ato their roles.
With sus in mind, the shooting process resumed vigorously the day.
...
Around the kes near Nosrick, the entire crew was now gathered.
After everyohered, Edward instructed Viz to directly cast a corrosion curse into the ke. Since even Edward himself wasn't profit in neantic spells, Viz, who had bee profit in undead magic after being a lich, was relutly able to perform it.
Watg the color of the ke gradually ge from clear blue to a mixture of bd purple, Edward anded Lawrence, who was beside him, "Release those crocodiles into the water. Don't worry, this is just a basieantic spell. Your creatures will only have a bit of diarrhea these couple of days."
"Well, Director Durin, you already mentiohis to me before."
Without hesitation, Lawrence opehe cages on the carriage, and suddenly, the crocodiles he had been keeping jumped into the water, pletely unaware of any unusual ges in the ke.
"It's quite surprising that you raise crocodiles. Are they some kind of special creatures?"
"They're not particurly special. I just really like magical creatures. Of course, although I like most magical creatures, I caught these few because they're not picky eaters and easy to care for."
Seeing Lawrence's smiling face, Edward, who couldn't uand the other's taste, gave a subtle smile. Then he shouted to Zat who was far away, "Are the actors ready? Has Aya beeally prepared? If not, bring her over and I'll give her a buff!"
"!!"
Edward's words clearly had an effect. In the area where the actors were resting, Aya, who had been very relut, eventually crawled into the cage. However, judging by her resigned expression, it was obvious that she hadn't mao adjust her mi.
"...Do we really have to do this? 't someone else take my pce?! And why does it have to be me who gets stuck with this script?! Why not have Zat go in?!"
Hearing the girl's voice, which sounded like she was starting to act like a spoiled child, not to mention Zat, who was close enough for his veins to start bulging on his forehead, Edward on this side spoke first, "Stop ag like a diva. There are no body doubles in this era. Just act holy, or else don't bme me fiving you a buff!"
"Uh!!"
In the end, a despairing Aya was thrown into the ke. Due to the shallow water level, even though Aya was sitting in the iron cage, she wasn't submerged ier. Uhese circumstances, filming officially began.
...
"...I feel like I'm just a tea bag that's been taken out now..."
After two hours passed without any monsters attag, Aqua (Aya) gradually rexed. She even started chatting with Kazuma (Zat) and the others who were nervously watg her.
And just at that moment, with a somewhat awkward expression, Megumin (Helena) suddenly said, "The brutal crocodiles haven't shown up at all. It would be great if it ended peacefully like this."
The moment these fg-like words were uttered—
"Aaaaaaah—!!! They're ing!! They're really ing!!!"
As if hearing some sort of signal, the steel cage taining Aqua (Aya) was surrounded by numerous crocodiles, biting and making gnashing sounds.
