Although Edward seemed curious about the goblin syer, due to the vast distaween their Southern region and the Northern region, it was impossible to know the specifics, even if there were some rumors.

  Therefore, after Zat and Aya pleted the adventurer procedures, they immediately left the somewhat deserted adventurers' guild.

  ...

  Ie afternoon, on an open space outside the town of Nosrick.

  "Sir– no, director, do you really want to build a watchtower here? We barely have any monsters nearby, and even if we build one..."

  Hearing the words of the burly man who seemed like a foreman, Edward just smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry; yes won't be cut. Just follow my ideas and build the watchtower."

  Upon hearing Edward's words, the foreman, who looked at him like he was a strange person, thought for a moment but decided not to say much. After all, he was currently worried about the ck of work in the spring season. If someone was willing to pay for the stru of a watchtower, he had no reason to refuse.

  uzzled him the most was that this seemingly noble person insisted on being addressed as 'director.' Although it wasn't something uable for the foreman, who had never heard this title before, he still found it strange.

  "In any case, building a watchtower only requires four or five people. Adding your two assistants, I just o find two more..."

  "No, get me ten people. Don't worry, I afford to pay. A ora gets two silver s for an afternoon, and I certainly afford that."

  Uedly, Edward said this, making the foreman, who already thought the 'director' was a strange person, sigh in resignation. He immediately went back to the city to gather the required workforce. Acc to the 'director,' these people were not sidered workers but extras. Although it was araerm, the pay was substantial enough to make it acceptable.

  Thus, under Edward's meticulous pnning, the se was quickly set up to resemble the enviro of an anime shoot.

  In this situation, Edward suddenly realized that, to film this se, he was doing far more than what a director usually does. His responsibilities extended beyond direg performances and designing shots; he had taken oire workload of a live-a adaptation of an anime.

  Edward had to personally find actors, hahe script, design shots, shoot and film, create props, and design special effects. This workload would likely have left an ordinary director bald, but fortunately, this was a magical world, and Edward himself owerful archmage. Otherwise, an average person wouldn't be able to produce a petent live-a adaptation in this era. However, it was Edward's personal itment that allowed him to uake such a challenge.

  The reason for his persistence was not only the 50,000 debt owed by the Durin Family but also his determination to ge this world. The more he ied with the ordinary people of this world, the more dissatisfied Edward became with the mundanity that seemed to permeate their lives. Seeing people sitting oreets sunbathing, clueless about what to do ohey lost their jobs, gave him a sense of lethargy.

  Despite the existenagid the stant tales of adventurers being sung by bards, everyone seemed aced to this monotonous daily routihough Edward uood that this was a limitation of the era, he, as someone from beyond this time, was unwilling to succumb to such a dition. Even if it was a minor ge, he was willing to try. Rather than being assimited into this mundane life, indulging in the b power struggles and magical research every day, he preferred to spend his time on seemingly meanihings like making anime.

  After all, these were traces of his existence from another world. If he abahese, what right did he have to say that he had e to another world?

  ...

  "Excavation team, get ready. That guy named Zat, hurry a some tools."

  "Has the wood been brought over?"

  "Girl over there, e pour water quickly!"

  As the stru of the watchtower enced with the pletion of the site, Edward, situated in a er, tirelessly recorded the ses. To enhahe artistic expression, he focused on capturing moments where Zat and Aya faced difficulties, although it seemed unfair to these tere already giving their all. However, this recious opportunity for sacrifig oneself for art; others couldn't seize it even if they wao!

  Yes, the unventional filming style Edward mentioned earlier was exactly this—approag the shooting with a practical attitude. Filmiasks would make the resulting footage more authentic.

  Though it might have been tough on Zat and Aya, the actors of this world were not like the young talents from another world. Edward had no iion of finding stand-ins for them. These tasks required their direvolvement. Moreover, this se wasn't po be filmed for a long time. Edward just o capture a few shots before the watchtower was built, and then he could easily edit them with the fusion crystal.

  "The focus of this se is to portray the trast between your daily life and that of adventurers, creating a edic effect that the audience find amusing. So, the more exaggerated the as, the better. Make the expressions as dramatic as possible!"

  During the break, Edward expihe se to the tere having packed lunches. Uedly, even the short break time was squeezed by Edward, making Zat and Aya show exhausted expressions.

  Oher side, Winry, who had been rushing around, came back with a handwritten work pn for the 'extras' oe. For example, the work shouldn't proceed too quickly, and they didn't o care too much about the retionships between Zat, Aya, and Edward.

  In a sense, Winry had already bee half an assistant director. Thinking about how to appropriately pay her ter, Edward was about to step forward to praise her when Winry hurriedly ran over, handing him a towel and a water bottle, saying, "Lord Edward, you've worked hard. Remember to take a good rest."

  Edward, who hadn't expected her to take care of him first, smiled wryly, took the towel and water bottle, and said, "You're the one who's worked hard, apanying me in doing these foolish things."

  "It's okay, or rather, I'm looking forward to it. Looking forward to the moment when Lord Edward's work is pleted..."

  Winry said, her eyes shining with a certain expectation. Uandihoughts, Edward just smiled, patted her head, and nodded, saying, "Don't worry; we'll see it soon!"
