  Chapter 180. For the Dream

  ---

  The in of this matter requires turning back time a little.

  Type-Moon.

  A small, obscure group, a small pany.

  At least, in this parallel world, that's how it is right now.

  And as for a small group like them ing here, seeking iment from them... to be ho, it's not something particurly surprising.

  Ever since Green Dolphin Studio became famous, things like this have happened frequently.

  Cujoh Jolyen receives requests from industry insiders wanting to e to her for iment.

  Especially after the broadcast of "Stardust Crusaders".

  For some reason, the number of industry insiders who noticed their good profits and wanted iment increased drastically!

  Some of them didn't even need mohey had their crew and iments all set up. It was as if they just needed her authorization to join, so that ohe project was aired, they could all share the profits together!

  I mean, e on, does that sound reaso all?

  Not only do they not want her money, but they also want to give her a share of the profits?

  Do they think Cujoh Jolyne is a fool?

  There's no way she would engage in such a ridioney-makiure!

  So, like those previous requests for iment that seemed promising and lucrative at first, this new batch was kicked into the cold pace by Cujoh Jolyne.

  This is also why Jolyne wasn't surprised at all by "Type-Moon's" approach.

  Too many people wanted iment.

  Every day, she would see or hear about some known or unknown industry figure approag.

  But Type-Moon was different from the others.

  When other industry insiders came asking for iment, they would praise the greatness of their uping projects, insisting that success was guaranteed if only she ied!

  Although Cujoh Jolyne khere was surely some exaggeration in these cims, she couldn't help but be impressed by the pelling pitches they presented.

  Even though she didn't fully uand all the industry's rules, when she saw famous stars in the cast or popur singers perf the theme songs, she felt that such projects were sure to succeed.

  Yet, despite how foolproof those projects seemed, Jolyne never ied in them.

  Because pared to those projects that seemed impossible to lose, her own pany's low-budget produs seemed more likely to lose money.

  Though it often turned out the opposite...

  But that's beside the point!

  The point is that Type-Moon, after ing over, didn't try to sell her a grand vision!

  This urait caught Jolyne's attention, especially when Kakyoin Ryokht in Takeuchi Takashi and his team. Jolyne, who had been yawning and ready to sleep, suddenly perked up.

  After hearing their request, Jolyne asked, "Mr. Takeuchi, you said you want the independeo shoot your project, right?"

  "Yes, that's correct."

  Takashi Takeuodded.

  After all, there was nothing much to say about it.

  Having already suffered ohey didn't want to just have their ached while watg their project be pletely altered.

  Of course, aiming high aling for less is part of the deal.

  Takeuchi didn't expect to secure full independence over the produ.

  Iy, what they wanted was just to have a say in how the project would be filmed.

  As long as they could be involved and have their suggestions sidered during produ, they would be satisfied.

  But who could have guessed what Cujoh Jolyne would say ...

  "Sure, I i in your projed give you plete independence over the filming."

  "…!?"

  "But, I have a dition," Jolyne said slowly.

  Of course, there was a dition.

  It would be strange if there weren't.

  After exging a gh Nasu Kinoko, Takeuchi Takashi asked, "What is your dition, President Cujoh?"

  "Don't worry, it's not a difficult dition. In fact, it's quite simple," Jolyne said. "Sihis project is my iment, as the ior, you'll o show me something that proves you're capable enough to ha, right?"

  "Otherwise, how would I know what you'll do with my money or what kind of project you'll create?"

  "…"

  That wasn't an unreasonable request.

  In fact, pared to the challeakeuchi had imagined, or the grand promises he expected to hear, Cujoh Jolyne's request was surprisingly fair.

  Famous directors in the industry often held indepe rights over their projects.

  Some even tio receive funding year after year without delivering, yet iors trusted them.

  Why?

  Because they were famous directors.

  Everyorusted their abilities and believed the projects they led would succeed.

  That's why iors handed over independeo these directors, afraid that any interference might reduce the profits.

  But did Takeuchi and his team have such a reputation?

  No.

  If they could shamelessly cim the title of famous game developers or well-known indie game creators, they might feel bold.

  But famous directors? That was out of their reach.

  "…"

  Takeuchi and his team could only remain silent.

  "So, do you have any representative works? Or have you been involved in any notable produs?" Cujoh Jolyne asked.

  "…"

  Once again, silence was the only respohey could give.

  Their so-called representative work roject that had taught them a painful lesson, one even their own fans ignored, a projebarrassing they couldn't bear to mention it!

  How could they possibly bring it up?

  In the end, all they could do was sigh and say, "We're sorry. We've disturbed you, President Cujoh. We'll leave now…"

  Oher side, though, after having suffered enough from w with Akiyuki Shinbo, Cujoh Jolyne had growical of eople said.

  So she did some quick resear Type-Moon's history online.

  Feeling quite satisfied with what she found, she said cheerfully, "Wait! Who said you could leave?"

  "Huh?"

  "Sorry, I just looked into your background. I have to say, I'm really moved by your determination to give up everything to chase your dream!"

  Cujoh Jolyne smiled and said, "So, I'll i in your project!"

  "Everything is for the dream!"
