The celebration sted until te at night. During the party, many adventurers crowded around Edward, trying to pry out information about the sequel to "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World." Of course, Edward wouldn't tell them anything. After using his identity as a grand mage to disperse the crowd, he quietly left the guild hall and silently made his way to the sed floor of the adventurers' guild.

  About two hours ter, when Edward came down from the sed floor and saw that the hall was almost empty, he was surprised to find that the members of the filming team had not left yet. They were still waiting for him in the deserted hall.

  "Why haven't you left yet?"

  In respoo Edward's question, Winry, who was helping with the up, spoke first, "Lord Edward, We're all waiting for you. After all, we won't be seeing each other for a while after this. It's essential to bid farewell properly at times like this."

  Just like on a modern film set, the crew Edward had assembled this time was only temporarily together. After all, the Durin Family still had debts to pay and couldn't even support themselves, let alone a film crew. In this situation, once filming was over, everyone would bid farewell to each other and only reunite for the shoot. It was iable.

  "......"

  Upon seeing the despo expressions on everyone's faces, Edward, who had been momentarily stunned, suddenly realized that he hadn't discussed the future with them. So, with a wry smile, he slowly said, "I see, I fot to tell you all..."

  "Fot to tell us? What do you mean?"

  To Helena's fusion, Edward just gave the pe girl a mysterious smile. Theook out a piece of paper with densely packed writing and said, "Yes, I fot to tell you all. The Southern Adventurers Guild has signed a tract with me for the exclusive rights to broadcast and represent 'KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World' in the South. They will provide the sing venue, and the final revenue split will be 80-20, with us getting 80% and them 20%. The dition the guild leader gave me was that only the Adventurers Guild in the Southerory hahe sing."

  Ihis was what Edward had done in the past two hours. He had iated with the Southern Adventurers Guild in Nosrick City about the future sing of "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World." They had finally established a plete tract, in which the Southern Adventurers Guild would be responsible for the sing and would receive 20% of the reveer sing.

  The term "responsible for sing" included veup, promotion work, and a lot of manpower and resources. In this case, they would only receive 20% of ticket sales revenue, which could be sidered a very low price. In another world, it might even be sidered absurd.

  The reason the Southern Adventurers Guild did this was twofold. Firstly, they saw the potential of this new form of expression called movies. Sedly, the guild leader of the Southern Adventurers Guild was the first to see the ges this film would bring to the South!

  There's a term in the modern world called "influence." When a movie is excellent, allowing people to immerse themselves involuntarily, viewers will identify with the protagonist as the story unfolds, even feeling pelled to do what the protagonist does, almost as if ented.

  Although people in this world couldn't uand this cept of influe least the guild leader of the Southern Adventurers Guild, after watg "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World" filmed by Edward, had the first thought: I want to bee an adventurer!

  Although he was already the guild leader of an Adventurers Guild, in such a high position, he felt even more eager to cast aside his b duties and live a simple yet exg life like the protagonist iory. The source of this absurd situation was the so-called iiousness brought about by the film and television stories. It was a terrifying power that could ge a person's values and influence a group of people's is.

  The reason why this story filmed by Edward would have such terrifying iiousness in another world where movies were not prevalent was naturally because this world was a genuine fantasy world.

  Watg "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World" in another world, the audience saw a story of crossing into another world. Naturally, it cked the iiousness of turning fantasy into reality. After all, even if you were ie stage of being a ibyou patient and wao cast a fireball spell, it was impossible. The intense iiousness would gradually fade away due to the dull reality. However, in this world, casting a fireball spell wasn't a fantasy if you were truly talented in magic!

  Likewise, transf a fireball spell into being an adventurer was the same. For the people in this world, being an adventurer was just a profession that existed around them, an easy-to-achieve ibyou goal.

  Moreover, the most important thing was that being an adveself had no threshold. Every standards were thin as paper.

  In such a situation, if "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World" was sed in the Southerory and became a hit, the result was self-evident!

  For a long time, due to the occasional appearance of undead, the she of talent among adventurers in the South had led to a revolutionary ge. There would be tless young people who voluntarily came to bee adventurers because they watched "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World"!

  Because he saw this point, even if he risked everything, the guild leader of the Southern Adventurers Guild would absolutely not let go of this opportunity and had demahe exclusive rights to represent and broadcast "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World" in the South at a price that Edward couldn't refuse.

  Upon hearing Edward's expnation...

  "Exclusive rights to represent and broadcast? What's that?"

  Aya's words almost represehe thoughts of most people present, as these things were all fresh ideas ing from Edward, which were quite unfamiliar to these native inhabitants of the other world.

  Seeing the surprised and puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, knowing that these people couldn't uand the profound meaning of his words, Edward finally decided to express his iions in the simplest and most straightforward manner possible.

  He slowly pulled out a magic crystal card issued by the Empire's rgest sortium and said, "A whole 5,000 gold s. This is the first payment given by the Southern Adventurers Guild to secure the exclusive rights to represent and broadcast. It also serves as an iment for our film. After the official release, the box office revenue will be calcuted separately. Do you uand now? Our crew won't disband, or rather, we've only just begun!"
