Chapter 24: Booting Up Again

  Early the m, Edward, who had gathered everyoogether, noticed several unfamiliar faces among the crowd. He turo Winry, who seemed to know something, and asked, "Who are they?"

  Winry quickly replied to Edward's question, "Lord Edward, didn't you ask me to go to the Adventurers Guild to post a ission to find actors? These are the ones who came to audition. However, with the scarcity of adventurers in the southern region, especially female adventurers, these few are the only didates avaible."

  "Did you tell them the specific details of the job?"

  "Well, although I couldn't expin it clearly, they came for the interview knowing roughly what they were supposed to do."

  Nodding, realizing that Winry had indeed followed his instrus, Edward looked at the distant figures and roughly judged in his mind before saying, "Give them these scripts ahem rehearse now. I will e to review ter."

  Upon hearing Edward's instrus, Winry nodded and quickly went to execute the task he had assigned. Meanwhile, Edward, who remained in pce, looked at the script in his hand, which had been revised tless times, murmuring to himself, "It seems that it will be pleted soon."

  Indeed, under normal circumstances, film and television produ would require a siderable amount of time to plete. After all, under normal circumstances, film and television produ involves a lot of time-ing tasks such as retakes, camera arras, and special effects produ. However, these issues did for Edward.

  Sihere were no actors in this world temporarily, Edward couldn't be picky about ag skills. For him, it was suffit if the actors could portray a rough approximation of the characters. Furthermore, due to the existenagic, there was o sider camera angles and special effects. Ohe sele of actors was pleted, he was fident that he could finish shooting the remaining ses in a few days.

  The only thing that troubled him slightly was the script that still needed editing and the issue of background music. After all, this world cked flying cabbages, and this particur se was crucial and couldn't be omitted. Therefore, to modify this part of the script to a seamless state was quite taxing for Edward.

  As for the music, there shouldn't be a problem, to be ho. After all, what this fantasy world cked the least was wandering minstrels. These folks could py all kinds of musical instruments, and with a little money spent in a tavern, they could easily py suitable background music.

  However, what surprised Edward was that the person who ultimately solved the musi was not a wandering minstrel but Viz, who overheard him murmuring to himself.

  "Music? If you need music, I help. After all, I was born into a noble family in the Imperial Capital and was forced to learn various musical instruments since childhood. Although I've bee a bit rusty now, I should be able to help."

  "Really?"

  Surprised that things turned out so effortlessly, Edward expressed his amazement and promptly asked Viz to perform. As expected, Viz's musical proficy was genuine. Perhaps due to being a lich, her spiritual focus aional expression in her music were even more profound and perfect!

  Realizing that the situation was even smoother than he had imagined, Edward calcuted and almost firmed that he could plete the filming of the theatrical version within a week.

  In the end, this theatrical version was just a trial work for Edward. pared to what he po shoot ter, the difficulty of filming "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World" was quite low. Only if this theatrical version succeeded could Edward have the fideo tinue filming. Otherwise, he would have to admit that he could not ge the era with his own strength.

  ......

  Adventurers Guild, filming in progress.

  While Zat was lounging in his seat, exhausted, petting a cat, Aya, carrying a rge bucket of leftover food, walked over with a smile. She said, "Look, look! There are leftovers from the restaurant today, and they said I could bring them over. It's a profit!"

  Feeling increasingly irritable as he looked at her foolish face, Zat calmly said, "Hey, Aqua, although I don't want to say this, holy, I think capturing the fugitive Devil King is impossible. Think about it, uhe protagonists in stories, I don't have powerful abilities. Fighting against the Devil King's army should be left to those who were sent here before me, who have gained powerful abilities and ons..."

  "..."

  Amidst a moment of silence, Aqua, who suddenly turned her head, tears welling up in her eyes, excimed loudly, "How you say that?! Then, I won't be able to return home, right?"

  "Hehe, save those lines for when you guide the hero like a true goddess, seal the Devil King before the hero grows up, and buy time for the hero. You, who excel only at ba performances, rice barrel!"

  "Uwah~ Uwahh!"

  Faced with Aqua's g, Zat, showing no mercy, tinued mercilessly, "So, think of some easy ways to make money again, and also, teach me your only advahe restoration magic!"

  "No~! Only restoration magi't do! Don't take away my only reason for existence!!! With me here, you don't o learn it, right?! Waaahhh~!"

  The girl's loud g caught the attention of the adventurers around, and Megumin, who had beeing, couldn't help but look over and say, "Kazuma, your attack power is too terrifying. Saying whatever is on your mind without sideration will make most girls cry!"

  Meanwhile, Daknis, a new addition to the team who pyed the role as Darkness, crossed her arms and muttered, "Hmm, if you accumute too much pressure, it's fine for me to be scolded by you instead of Aqua!"

  As she said this, there was a subtle blush on her face...

  Daknis was an actress chosen by Edward from the adventurers lied. Although it ractically the only option avaible, at least her performance table, and she didn't get stage fright. As long as this criterion was met, Edward could fill in the rest with suggestive magic.

  Though using suggestive magiake someohink they're a masochist was quite delicate, it was for the noble cause of filmmaking, and Edward had ation whatsoever!

  "Urgent notice, urgent notice! All adventurers, arm yourselves immediately and gather at the main gate of the town in bat readiness!"

  The sudden annou from the receptionist caught the adventurers off guard, and Edward, who was filming nearby, promptly put down his rec device, as he had anticipated.

  "The timing couldn't be better."

  He hadn't informed the receptionist at the Adventurers Guild or the other adventurers about what he was filming. Naturally, they had no idea what was happening.

  The reason for this was, of course, to achieve a more perfect effe the filming. After all, the quality of the extras to some exteermihe success of a film. Rather than spending moo make them act poorly, it was better to let them aaturally. Moreover, Edward had already arranged with the guards at the city gate and the adventurers' managers, bribing them to keep quiet, so there shouldn't be any problems no matter what.

  So, as all the adventurers gathered at the city gate with various thoughts in their minds, the knight riding on horseback with nothing on his neck appeared before them.
