Chapter 12: Searching for the Giant Slime

  At noon, within the dirty and chaotic stable, when Edward fihe st shot, the plot of the adventurers entering the town was essentially pleted.

  "Although the lighting isn't great, both of your performances were excellent. Let's call it a day here," Edward decred.

  Aced to switg between ag mode and their usual state, Zat and Aya followed him out. Initially, they thought Edward might actually make them sleep iable. To be ho, even the knights' resting room at the knight's guild would be better than this somewhat miserable enviro.

  What they looked forward to the most was what kind of dihe Lord would take them to. After all, the meals that Winry prepared for them in Edward Castle were unfettable, and now they were iown of Nosrick, a pce they had never visited before.

  As for this, Edward had a prepared smile. He then had Winry, aiting outside, hand them a box taining their meals and said, "This is the standard boxed meal for actors. Any new actors joining us iure will also have this. Don't worry; Winry made this herself i of a local residence she borrowed. The dishes made by those chefs aren't much better than this."

  Although Winry initially sidered this approach to save money, after implementing it, Edward found it quite good. After all, he couldn't take all the actors to restaurants every day. After the movie was pleted, he could take all the actors out for a meal, have a party, and that would be more appropriate.

  Therefore, Edward instructed Winry to make something simir to boxed meals, which rovided to everyoer shooting. Of course, this was basically exclusive to the main actors. After all, if every extra received a boxed meal, Winry would probably be worked to death.

  To their surprise, Zat and Aya each received a boxed meal from Winry. Upon opening it, they found the food ly packed together. Due to the sealing, the food was still warm.

  "This is delicious."

  "Yeah, even though it's just ordinary food, it somehow tastes better when packaged like this."

  Their refleade Edward, who was eating a boxed meal on the ground, smile. He also ate while seated on the ground and said, "You've read the script, so you should know that there will be new actors joining us . Well..."

  "Yeah, um, Director Edward... Where do you pn to find actors? I remember one is a mage who only use burst magice a day, and the other is a swordsman with terrible sword skills but a masochistic female knight– Holy, I find this setting a bit strange..."

  Listening to Zat's ption while eating, Edward just smiled and said, "I already have someone in mind for the first one, and we start shooting as soon as she arrives. For the sed one, I pn to post a request at the Adventurer's Guild. I'm not asking for much—just someone who looks the part and is obedient and willing to endure hardship. After all, in this world before us, there hasn't been anything like making movies, and having slightly subpar ag skills is not a problem."

  "Anyway, Director, what are we going to shoot after finding the actors?"

  Zat's question made Aya, who was also lig her box, look over. Although they had read the script, what they would film ultimately depended on Edward's decision.

  Edward, oher hand, calmly said, "Afterward? To be ho, the prop actors haven't been prepared yet. Acc to my pn, we'll wait until everyone is here before shooting."

  "That's fine. But Director, how do we hahe giant frog in the script? I remember that there are no monsters like that in this world. "

  Hearing Zat's crucial question, Edward nodded. He uood that even though this world had various strange creatures he had never heard of before his time travel, there wasn't a giant frog like the one in "KonoSuba."

  So, after thinking for a while, Edward said slowly, "Although there are no giant frogs, there are slimes. I've seen some oversized slimes in the monster catalog at the Mage Tower. I just don't know where they're sold."

  "Slimes? We hardly have any wild monsters in the South, so I've never seen a slime in my life."

  Zat's words made Edward furrow his brow. Uanding that this issue o be solved, he said after a moment of thought, "I remember there are specialty monster merts in most towns. Slimes, being low-level and easy to keep, seem to be quite popur. Ah, I've seen a few stores like this before."

  "Ah, I've seeoo. They even sell Silver-gray wolf cubs! They are so cute!"

  Winry's words firmed Edward's proposal. Clearly, this world also had something called a pet store, but due to the peculiarities of this world, the pets sold were not ordinary. Instead, they were some retively harmless monsters.

  "Anyway, let's try our luck. Let's go to the pet...moore and see if we find a rare giant slime. Even if we don't, we ask around."

  So, following Edward's decision, the group headed to the towed. Thinking back, they had never really had a break sihey came here to shoot. Now, they finally had the time to explore this town called Nosrick.

  ...

  As one of the rgest towns in the South, Nosrick had excellent transportation, a variety of shops, and bustling streets that almost made people dizzy. Winry and others were stantly exg at the ses they saw.

  In trast, Edward, who had experiehe capital and another world's prosperity, didn't have much to say. He calmly inquired with passersby and came to a er store—a moore.

  Acc to the passerby, the owner of this moore often traveled to various pces, having rich experiend knowledge. As long as it was a real-world monster, he could provide some clues.

  With some expectations, Edward opehe door of the moore, and upoering, what met their eyes was a se resembling a zoo. There were all kinds of monsters freely moving around in the room. There wasn't even a fence, making people suspect whether they had ehe right pce.

  Seeing ers e in, the shop owner immediately weled them and said, "Wele to the Moore. What I help you with?"

  The shop owner is a man in his twenties or thirties. Although he appears somewhat aged due to his gray hair, he still looks retively young.

  As Edward was about to say something, a pair of furry ears suddenly appeared behind the shop owner. Before anyone could express surprise, a girl with animal ears and a tail emerged from behind the shop owner.
