Chapter 154: Preparing for the Frost Film Festival!

The more beautiful the imagination, the harsher the reality.

To prepare for the Frost Film Festival, Edward decided to have four films start shooting simultaneously in different locations. On paper, this seemed like a perfect plan to maximize efficiency and produce multiple movies at once.

However, once the plan was put into action, Edward quickly realized what a nightmare it actually was.

His "good day" ended the mom...

“This… Did you write this script, Senior Edward? Is this your new movie?”

Gebrun’s hands trembled slightly as he held the script, completely stunned by its contents. He stood there frozen for a long time, unable to recover from the shock.

Beside him, Chris was equally shaken. She never imagined that such a thin booklet could contain such rich and intricate storytelling. Her expression subtly shifted as she abs...

The explosive popularity of The Garden of Sinners had completely ignited the region. Every day, countless people flooded into TV taverns, settling in for an entire afternoon of viewing.

And even after leaving, they would linger outside the venues, still immersed in excitement, passionately discussing the movie’s plot with those around them.

“A new movie?”

Seeing the student council president and vice president completely losing their composure, Edward simply said calmly:

"Fate/Zero and The Garden of Sinners will be released on schedule. Right now, I’m working on a new film, and I need your help to recruit enough actors.”

“Oh, leave that to me!”

The blond-haired president responded immediately. But then, as if suddenly realizing something, he quic...

Chapter 150: Steins;Gate Production Begins!

The idea of filming Steins;Gate wasn’t something Edward came up with on a whim.

As mentioned before, he had deliberately opened Edward’s Tavern directly across from the Nosrick Cinema. His goal was to hear audience feedback and discussions about movies as quickly as possible.

Over the past few weeks, he had made an effort to gather opinions on Konosuba, Goblin Slayer, and Fate/Zero, speaking with people from various backgrounds...

Even for these Arch Mages, who stood at the pinnacle of the mage profession, the revelation of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception left them deeply shaken.

“I never expected it to be eyes that perceive death itself… How is this even possible?”

On the movie screen—

Amidst the howling typhoon and the ruins of a collapsed building, the fierce battle between Ryougi Shiki and Asagami Fujino was raging on.

Due to a momentary lapse in concentration, Ryougi Shiki's left arm was directly twisted and broken by Asagami Fujino’s Mystic Eyes.

"I am... stronger.”

At this moment, Asagami Fujino felt a genuine sense of joy. Despite the pain i...

“Huh? Shiki, what are you doing in a place like this?”

“That’s a rude way to put it. This is your workplace, isn’t it, Kokutou?”
