Harem: Shooting Anime In Another World

Chapter 12

During the break, Dulin shared stories about the play with Zat and Aya, who were eating their bento. They showed tired expressions, as they hadn't expected to be pressured by Dulin During their precious break time.

Meanwhile, Windy, who had been running around, returned with a handwritten work schedule and discussed Dulin's requirements with the "group show" members working on-site. For example, work should not be done too quickly, and they didn't need to consider the relationship between Zat and Dulin too much...

In a way, Windy Could already be seen as half an assistant director. As Dulin contemplated what kind of salary to offer the other party, he stepped forward to compliment them, but Windy rushed over from a distance, handing him a towel and a cup, saying, "Dulin-sama, thank you for your hard work. Please take a good rest."

Dulin hadn't expected the other party to take care of him first. With a wry smile, he simply accepted the towel and cup, saying, "Thank you for your hard work. You joined me in this foolish endeavor."

"It's okay, in fact, I'm looking forward to it too. Dulin-sama, I'm looking forward to the moment the work is completed..."

As Windy said this, a certain light of expectation appeared in her eyes.

Dulin, who understood this thought, just smiled and touched her head, nodding at Windy's slightly embarrassed expression, saying, "Don't worry, we will see it soon!"

Around noon, when Dulin finished filming the last scene in the dirty stable, the story that had just entered the adventurer's town was almost fully shot.

"The lighting isn't very good, but your performances are excellent. Let's call it a day here."

With Dulin's announcement, Zat and Aya, who were used to switching between acting and their usual state, quickly followed along. They originally thought Dulin would really make them sleep in the stable, but to be honest, in such a terrible environment, the rest room at the knight's office would be considerably better.

And what they were most looking forward to was what kind of dinner the lord would take them to next. After all, they still remembered Windy's meal at Edward Castle. Not to mention, it goes without saying that they came to this big city of Northlick from the future.

In response, Dulin put on a prepared smile and then had Windy, who was waiting outside, hand them a box of food, saying, "This is the standard bento for actors. Even when new actors join in the future, they will eat this. Don't worry. This was made by Windy herself using the kitchen of a local household. The food made by that chef isn't as delicious as this."

Originally, this method was conceived by Windyto save money, but after actually implementing it, Dulin truly thought it was quite good. After all, he couldn't take these actors to a restaurant every day. After the filming was done, he would treat all the actors to a meal or throw a party. Well.

Therefore, Dulin ordered Windyto prepare such bento boxes and distribute them to everyone after filming was completed. Of course, this was basically a special supply for the main actors, and if each group performance received a bento, it would really tire Windyout.

They hadn't expected such a thing. Zat and Aya each received a bento from Windy, and when they opened it, the food was neatly packed and still slightly warm due to being sealed.

"Delicious, isn't it?"

"Yes, it is. Even though it's just ordinary food, it feels like it's more delicious when it's packaged like this."

The two of them smiled at Dulin, who was eating the same bento beside them. He, sitting directly on the ground while eating his bento, opened his mouth and said, "Since you two have seen the script, you probably know that a new actor will be joining us."

"Yeah, um, but lord Dulin... where do you plan to find the actor? The former can only use explosive magic and can only cast one spell a day, and the latter is a very stubborn and masochistic female knight who knows swordsmanship... To be honest, I always thought this setting was strange..."

In response to Zat's exclamation while immersed in his meal, Dulin just laughed and said, "We already have a candidate for the former. Once she arrives, we can start filming right away. As for the latter, I plan to make a request to the Adventurers' Guild. As long as the requirements aren't too high and the woman matches what we need—obedient and able to endure hardship—then it should be fine. There hasn't been anything like making a movie in this world before, and acting skills aren't a problem at all."

"Since the director will decide anyway, what will we film until we find the actor?"

Zat's comment also caught the attention of Aya, who was licking her box beside him. The two had already seen the script, but just like before when they deleted the Adventurers' Guild story, it would ultimately be Dulin who decided what to film.

In response, Dulin calmly said, "After that? To be honest, the prop actor isn't ready yet, so in my opinion, I plan to film once we have everyone gathered."

"That's fine, but director, what about this huge frog in the script? As far as I remember, there doesn't seem to be anything like that among the magical beasts in this world."

Hearing Zat's important question, Dulin nodded as well. He understood that there were various strange creatures in this world that he had never heard of before time traveling, but unfortunately, even in this world, there were no giant frogs like the ones in 'KonoSuba.'

So, after thinking for a while, Dulin slowly said, "There are no giant frogs, but there are slimes. I have seen ultra-large slimes in the monster encyclopedia of the Mage's Tower before, but I don't know where to buy them."

"Slimes? In our southern border, there are basically no wild monsters, so I've never seen a slime in my life."

Dulin frowned at Zat's words, realizing that this issue needed to be resolved. After thinking, he said, "I remember that there are specialized monster merchants in ordinary towns. Low-level and easy-to-raise monsters like slimes seem to be quite popular."

"Oh, I've seen that too! They also sell silver-gray wolf pups there! They're really cute!"

Wen Li's words validated Dulin's suggestion. Clearly, there are indeed so-called pet shops in this other world. However, due to the uniqueness of this world, what is sold in pet shops are not ordinary pets, but magical beasts that do not harm humans.

"Anyway, since a dead horse serves as a living horse's doctor, let's first go to the pet... and look around the monster shop. Maybe we might really find a rare giant slime, and if not, we can at least ask."

Then, with Dulin's decision, the group immediately set off joyfully towards the town. Reflecting on it, they had had no time since they first came here for filming, and now they finally had time to see this town called Northrick.

....

As one of the largest towns in the southern border, Northrick is well-connected with traffic, has various shops, and is a bustling city that dazzles the eyes, with the screams of Wenli and others almost nonstop.

In contrast, Dulin, who saw the imperial capital and the prosperity of another world, felt less moved and simply walked slowly, asking passersby before arriving at a monster shop on the corner of the street.

According to passersby, the owner of this monster shop often travels to various places, has abundant experience and background, and if it is a monster that actually exists, they will provide you with some clues, more or less.

With a bit of expectation, Dulin opened the door to the monster shop, and upon entering the room, what everyone saw was a scene reminiscent of a zoo, with various monsters moving around in a room without any constraints, leaving no doubt about what kind of place they had entered.

Seeing the customers come in, the shopkeeper immediately welcomed them, saying, "Welcome to the monster shop, is there anything you need?"

The shopkeeper was a man in his twenties or thirties, looking a bit older due to his white hair, but he certainly appeared young.

Just as Dulin was about to say something, suddenly furry ears appeared from behind the shopkeeper, and before everyone could show their surprised expressions, a girl with animal ears and a tail ran out from behind the shopkeeper.
