150 146 Leaving oneself to the stream.There are times like that. (1/2)

A month has passed since the story of PV came out.

In the meantime, I have been challenging dungeons and traversing the hierarchy as part of my job.

It was refreshing to see the addition of a PV shooting job to spice up the dungeon exploits that become such a part of our daily lives.

Personally, I was wary of anything that might happen when the PV was announced, but the peace and quiet continued as if I ignored my feelings.

The other testers who came up to me when I went out for a drink with Kaido have not been heard from since then.

It might be strange to say that I was at peace fighting in the dungeon every day, but I'd say this past month was peaceful enough for me to be able to say that I was at peace with being kidnapped by the instructors' revelries from time to time.

At least mentally, I was at peace.

Life with Suela, Memoria and Himik is going well.

I guess that's what they call smooth sailing.

Looking back, I've had a stormy time since I joined the company.

If you've lived such a life, I think it's no problem to take a pause here.

”One camera OK!

”Two turtles!　Position yourself higher up!

”Three turtles!　Not there more right!　Don't get in the magic range!

”You are ready for a summoning team of monsters for shooting!

”In five minutes!

”Slow!　Two minutes!

Even if the scene is right in front of you on the scene of a scene of a scene.

The various demons, dark elves, giants, lizardmen, beastmen and various other members of the demon king's army are busily moving around with equipment in hand, not to mention ups and downs, using highs and lows to prepare for filming, moving around in all directions with their magic.

I was in such a day.

While doing our regular work, we were planning the PV and finally got the date for the shooting.

Whenever I had time, I had a meeting with the director of photography, the devil, and when I had time, I felt like a movie actor, but what we had to do was no different from our normal duties.

All you have to do is to kick the enemy's ass with aplomb.

If you are conscious of the implications of your work, it's no different from what you would normally do if you were conscious of the implications of your work, I'm sitting at the side of the shooting location, drinking coffee and waiting for the shooting preparations to be finished, and checking the clasp on my armor to make sure it's not loose.

I check for any looseness in the fastenings of the armor while waiting for them to finish preparing for the shoot.　I think we've prepared well for today!

I'm getting a stomach ache, that I can go home?　It's rather serious.

”Let's see, the order of magic is to shoot the beginner level and then get ready for the big magic.

”I'm here, and then um, Max, what do I do next?

”Jump on the enemy's back,” he says. And my name's Mike. Don't forget.

”......s

But it seems I'm the only one who thinks there's only so much to be laid back about.

I look towards the full group in response to Kaido's call.

Just one look at the party members is enough to give you a glimpse of their condition.

If you're asking about their condition, I'd say it's worse than any other time in history.

Not just physically, but mentally.

I don't know how many times Kaido has asked for an equipment check.

Minami, holding her stomach and pale face, announces her refusal to perform with all her might.

Behind him, Kitamiya is checking the script for perfection.

In the background, a small shadow is flitting about as if it were in the background.

Just before the show, Amelia has been flitting around at the edge of the scene, trying to learn her role.

In the middle of the game, she stops as if a question mark is about to appear above her head, but her patronus, Mike, gives her instructions for her next move.

And Katsu, who seems to be the most calm, has been standing and sitting up for some time now.

General Comment.

Everyone is tense and stiff.

I didn't expect them to be so distracted, as they are usually reasonably nervous and reasonably relaxed to tackle dungeons.

We thought we could afford to have a little fun: ......

I'm not sure if I can really shoot in this way.

I told you many times beforehand that it wouldn't work out the way it was supposed to, so you should fight like you always do, but the unique atmosphere of this place has made you feel like you're in the wrong place.

”Calm down, Kaido, there's no need to dress up. Just fight with more panache than usual. Then this job is done.

I know that, but.... I know that, but I get nervous when I think about being on film. Why are you so calm?

”In the extreme, they'll just film you fighting. And that's better than fighting the instructors.

Oh, well, that certainly makes me feel a bit better about myself.

I don't have much sympathy for it, that I do.

If it was me in the past, I would be nervous in such a situation, but unfortunately, my threshold for being nervous has been thrown off by my experiences since I joined the company.

Thanks to this, I don't get nervous about ordinary things anymore.

You can see that the criterion for being nervous or not is based on a criterion that is impossible in everyday life, whether life is involved or not.

This shooting only involves summoning and defeating a soul monster, and the information about the monster to be defeated is pre-informed.

There is almost no chance of losing.

If this shooting was a battle with the instructors, I would not be taking it so easy, I would be sharpening my nerves and doing my best to find a way to survive.

Eventually I would have retracted, but I'm sure I would have considered a tactic that would have allowed me to escape on the way.

Who's willing to jump into a dead zone where it's not necessary.

Hey, you guys, attention!

But it's only because I've had more extraordinary experiences than anyone else since I joined the company, and it's strange to ask these guys who haven't had that much experience.

To reopen the door, you clap your hands and get the attention of the party members.

”Listen, guys, what we're going to do is just an extension of what we usually do. No, we're not going to be exchanging lives, so it's a much easier job than usual. If you make a mistake, you can do it again. I don't want to tell you to let go of your nerves, but go easy.

He says it in a serious tone, but at the last minute, my expression falls apart and I let out a bitter laugh.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to ask the film crew to make an outtakes book for you to look at afterwards to create tension in a different direction.　It's not a bad idea to launch it to snack on it, either.

People can be nervous just at the thought of failing.

It can be the first challenge or the tension that comes from inexperience of not having enough experience in the field.

It is not a bad thing to give serious encouragement to such tensions, but it can make you more nervous.

Therefore, I dared to say that it was okay to fail, and then I aimed to ease the tension by joking around a bit.

And while making a show of it, I mix it with a little curiosity to see a bit of the real NG collection.

Stop, that is!　To record my black history, much less have a screening of it!　A public execution, that is?

”You're still a good girl, aren't you?　If I'm not good at it, the information will be passed on to the girls I'm going after!

As expected, each showed a moment of relief, but then the bite of the two people who would react the most was good.

Probably, they are the two people who I think might fail the most in this party.

I was expecting a good reaction, and I was right.

And this is the kind of reaction I should have gotten.

”Well, it's just a matter of not screwing up. Unlike those guys.

”Really?　I'm a little worried though.

”You'll be fine, if it comes down to it, the spirits behind you will take care of it.

”A rear spirit is a terrible thing to say. Can you at least be a guardian spirit?

”Have you ever been the least bit protective of Amie?

”I have the knowledge side, but

”If it's a Patronus, it won't do much good without physical protection.

”Hmmm, maybe I'll practice attacking the undead next time.

Do so.

”Ha-ha, don't do anything funny without my knowledge, okay?

Seeing that, there are people who can calm down.

You'll be able to see that you're not the only one who has been nervous, but you can also sigh lightly as if you're an idiot, and next to you, Kitamiya taps Amelia's shoulder, which is a little stiff, and loosens it up.

”Come in.
