"Today is the final day of filming. Let's all give it our best!"

  With Edward's and after everyone had assembled, the scheduled final se of the shoith the Headless Horseman in "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World" was about to begin. Prior to this, Edward had already arranged with Winry and the upper echelons of the Adventurer Guild, and bribed the guards, ensuring that only the ordinary adventurers were kept in the dark. Naturally, all of this was doo facilitate smooth filming.

  Moreover, the reason the Adventurer Guild agreed so easily was because Edward had used his title as Baron Durin and his status as a Grand Mage to deceive the guild's managers, making them believe that all of this was merely a routine magical experiment.

  Any opportunity to establish a good retionship with a Grand Mage would not be missed by anyone.

  Apart from this, as expected, Viz arrived at the se with a rge number of summoned spirits. At first, this startled the other staff members who didn't know she was undead.

  However, ohey learhat it was all for the sake of the film, everything proceeded smoothly.

  Therefore, seeing that preparations from all aspects had been pleted, Edward reviewed his arras once more.

  Finally, the filming of the st se of this theatrical version officially began.

  ...

  The design of this final se was quite plex. If it weren't for Edward's extensive preparations and the use of suggestion magiost mentally weaker adventurers, it would have been impossible to film under such circumstances.

  However, precisely because of Edward's preparations, although the process was a bit rough, the plressed smoothly.

  During this time, although Edward had the responsibility of a cameraman, he also secretly assisted Aya in releasing her holy spells, helped Viz guide the uo behave, released hurries to assist Helena in casting explosion magic…

  Although Edward is the director, he also pletely handles all aspects of special effects work. For example, right now, the grouh the Headless Horseman's feet is a Fifth-level Holy Light Array that he spent all night setting up. Oivated, evero undead would at least lose a yer of skin.

  The reaso it up like this, of course, is for the sake of the performaherwise, Edward really wouldn't trust Belldia to act out the se properly. To maintain the high standard of the final plot, he spared no effort.

  Of course, even a Fifth-level Holy Light Array isn't fatal to top-tier undead like the Headless Horseman, who surpasses the sixth order. It's merely an invenience for him, preventing him from going out in the sun for a few days.

  during the process, Belldia, portraying the Headless Horseman, also showcased her swordsmanship at Edward's request. From their previous knowledge that Belldia was oop knight of the Empire, they knew her sword skills were formidable. However, witnessing it firsthand, they realized just how terrifyirength was.

  Even when fag multiple adventurers attag him, with a casual swing of his greatsword, he knocked out everyone surrounding him. Upon closer observation, one could even notice that none of the adventurers near him were ihey were simply knocked out by the pressure and aura geed by his sword swing.

  This level of swordsmanship had long surpassed the fifth order. If Belldia were to be reized by the Empire with his current strength, he would likely be promoted directly to the sixth order.

  What surprised Edward during this time was that the actress portraying Darkness, Daknis, seemed to have a swordsmanship level far beyond his expectations. Because of the character requirements, Edward asked her not to hit her oppos. However, to miss the oppo at such cle, her own strength must be quite formidable. It's like when you take an exam, if you were to deliberately answer all the math multiple-choice questions incorrectly, you would o know most of the correswers to do so; otherwise, you would at least get a few right by guessing.

  By this calcution, the swordsmanship of this girl, whose name Edward hadn't even asked, was at least third order, surpassing the standards of most adventurers in the South.

  Simirly, the Headless Horseman had also noticed this. Therefore, his attacks became more fierce. After all, this erformance; if he held bauch, it wouldn't have any dramatic effect. But undoubtedly, the splendid swordsmanship dispyed by Belldia, which reached inhuman levels, didn't actually ihe actress portraying Darkness (Daknis). It just made her look a bit disheveled.

  Meanwhile, after Darkness (Daknis) and the Headless Horseman engaged in intense bat, adding a lot to the performahe plot tinued. Zat successfully discovered that the Headless Horseman's weakness was water, so all the adventurers capable of using water magic were called upon for assistance. However, due to the ages in the South, they couldn't find anyone capable of casting water magic.

  Finally, Aqua (Aya), who had finally realized that she was actually a water goddess, directly unleashed a divine-level water geion magic.

  Of course, this water magic was also sponsored by Edward. To be ho, his tinuous use of grand magic almost drained him pletely. When this Fifth-level surge struck down, he felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand.

  But the effect of such a fully exerted grand magic was undeniable. The flood-level water magic directly washed away the Headless Horseman, Darkness (Daknis), and the adventurers, including the main characters standing farther away. Of course, this art of the pnned plot.

  ....

  "This is the share of those who were killed by you, proteg me! I don't io strike a few more times! Take it together with me, please!!"

  The giant sword decisively swung down, shattering the bck armor of the Headless Horseman and leaving a huge wound on his chest.

  Without the prote of the demon king, the Headless Horseman couldn't resist Aya's judgment upon the undead. As Edward's prepared rge-scale Holy Light Array began to shine on the ground, a weakened Headless Horsemaended his hand as a part of his armor shattered from Aya's attack.

  "W-Wait—! Aaahhh--!"

  Watg Belldia, who was genuinely struggling on the ground uhe holy light, Edward tinued filming without aatioe the apologetic smile on his face.

  Although Belldia, an undead whose strength surpassed the sixth order, endured a Fifth-level Grand Holy Light Magic, she wouldn't die directly because of it. However, to ehe smooth progress of the plot, Edward had her activate aeleportation magic he had prepared in adva the same time as the holy light eruption.

  "It worked?!"

  "Oh my god! The Headless Horseman was actually destroyed?!"

  "So amazing!!!"

  As the 'extras' realized betedly what had happened aed into cheers after breaking free from the suggestion magic, the final segment of the se, where the adventurers killed by the Headless Horseman were successfully resurrected by Aya, marked the end of the filming.

  Though there was still a storyline about owing 40 millioo the town's destru, it could be easily resolved with a discussion with the adventurers' guild.

  "So, gratutions on the perfepletion of the world's first film! Well done, everyone. I annouhat the first live-a theater version of [KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World] is officially ed!"
