In the gloomy space, lights flitted about, looking like pale spirits…-.
At a newly established facility in Kenal, the Land of Movies, the princes who were helping with cultural supervision and technical work had been invited to a pre-party.
Tell: “Tch… that damn Will…!!”
Legrange: “I didn’t hear anything about this! I want to go home…”
Oswald: “Wow, that’s impressive strength. Prince Will is a demon for pushing the two of you cowards in here.”
Tell: “That’s why I said I didn’t want to… anywhere but this place!”
In the beginning, Will and Tell had worked together with other directors and built this facility where various scenarios could be filmed…
Through Will basically pushing them all, they were now in the area for horror movies.
Tell: “Prince Oswald, my apologies but please do not leave me at all for any reason.”
Legrange: “Ah, me too…!”
As if trying to block out the terrifying sounds and the floating balls of fire that appeared out of nowhere, Tell and Legrange clung to Oswald.
Oswald: “Yes, yes. Let’s move slowly then.”
Oswald started walking, practically dragging along the other two as they clung to him, when…
Hanare: “Uuh… where are you…”
Gerald: “Yeah… don’t leave us…”
Tell: “Uwaaaaaa!?”
Legrange: “…I’m done for.”
The second Hanare and Gerald appeared from the darkness dressed as ghosts, Tell ran off and Legrange passed out…
Oswald: “He…ahaha! I wonder if Prince Will expected this kind of reaction. I’m sure he’ll be glad that the things he put together got such a response.”
Gerald: “Prince Oswald, aren’t you frightened?”
Gerald’s voice sounded slightly annoyed in the face of Oswald laughing alone.
Oswald: “It’s because I can tell it’s fiction. But your acting was spot on. You can tell just from seeing the reactions of those two, right?”
Gerald: “Thank you. Prince Hanare taught me a few things from a ghost story told in Kuyou, so I applied those to my role here.”
Hanare: “Gerald was quick to pick them up. Better than I could have imagined.”
Gerald: “That makes me happy! I wonder if I can be in one of Director Will’s films someday…”
Hanare nodded as he spoke words of admiration, and Gerald’s eyes sparkled…
Tell: “Uwaaaa! D-don’t come any closer!”
The princes turned towards Tell’s distant scream.
Gerald: “That voice… we should probably go get Director Tell.”
Hanare: “In that case, I’ll go too. I’ll be keeping this place in mind.”
The two set off with concerned looks on their faces, and Oswald propped up Legrange.
Oswald: “Looks like I’ll still get to see some interesting things here.”
As the two went to get Tell, still dressed as ghosts, what kind of scream would echo…
Oswald smiled to himself as he imagined it.
